The New York stock Market.

New York, June 30.-With the en-
tire list under pressure from the open
ing of the stock market today there
was another big falling off in values,
new low standards for the entire year
being reached in many stocks. When
the market opened there was flood OIL
selling orders which ut once carried
prices down below last nights quota
tons
The dead line mark in steel common.
70-which has lasted all year and below
which it had been reported the control
of that stock had dccreed it must not
fall, was reached before noon when,
Oh perfect avalanche Of selling orders
there was drop to 50 rs.
This was exactly % points below the
stock s high record Of last fall. Reading
Baltimore and Ohio, Atcishon, Union
Pacific, Amalgamated, Southern Pa
citic and others of the investment
leaders, dropped to new low marks
and the exchange was in great con
fusion.
There seemed to be no reason for the
selling other than the general belle
that from now on the railroads would
have nothing to say in the making o.
rates and that as result earnings must
be curtaied.

Taft and Roosevelt.

Beverly, Mass, June Bottle sum-
mer capital was invaded today. The
attacking force was an army OF news
paper men who descended upon the
north shore early today armed with
fountain pens and cameras ready for
that much talkcd-of meeting between
President Taft and Theodore Roose-
welt which was expected to take place
this afternoon. The road in front OF
the Taft cottage ut Burgess Point was
the camp. No one was permitted on
the grounds of the presidents cottage,
but outside crowd grew with
every train.
Meanwhile Roosevelt is still the guest
OF Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, al
Nahant, where ne spent the night. The
ex-president said last night that he
would probably motor over to the sum
mer white house this afternoon.
There was much speculation regard
ing the meeting. This was the first
time that President Taft and his pre-
decessor in office were to see each other
since the memorable farewell in the
White House OH March 4, 1909, while
blizzard was raging Roosevelt then
turned his back on American affairs,
with promise that he would keep out
of the political limc-light for a long
time, promise that he kept.
That Roosevelt does not endorse some
Of the acts of the Taft administration il
we'll known and some Of the politicians
here profess to believe that an open
break is likely to follow today's meet,
ing. Others point out that this Is I'M
likely and that Col. Roosevelt can be
depended on to let nothing lea k out to
indicate what he said to Taft or what
Taft said to him until after he has re-
turned to New York.
Nahant, Mass, June 30.-Defnite
information that President Taft and
former President Roosevelt would
meet this afternoon came this morning
from Senator Lodge who said that
about > O'Clock he and Roosevelt would
leave here for Beverly.

Mother Fights Eagle,

Chester, Pa, June 30.-A bald
eagle of enormous size attempted to
carry off Paul, the two-year-old son OF
William L. Zebley,. of Beteel, this
county yesterday.
Paul was playing in the shade of a
large tree in the rear of his home
when Mrs. Zebley, who was in the
kitchen, heard her child screaming
loudly, followed by the tapping Of
wings. Looking out Of the door she
was Mortified to see the eagle Juggling
at the little fellows dress. The boy,
however, was too heavy for the bird,
which only succeeded in lifting him
about two feet from the earth.
Selling a stout club, Mrs. Zebley at
tempted to strike the bird, which was
too willy for her, however. The eagle
lodged the blows aimed at its head,
but after making several lunges at the
woman flew away. Her hufband, who
by this time had arrived on the scene
with his double barreled shotgun, fred
at the fleeing bird, but the shot went
aStray.

KING GEORGES REAL NAME.

How many people know what King
Georges real surname is?"
If His Majesty were to be deprived OF
all his titles and reduced to the rank Of
cOmmonrr. he would be known simply
as Mr.. Victim. The Counts Of Victim
were the founders of the Prince Consort 5
ancient house Of Saxc-COburg The
i'finrc Ccnsort'> name was Wo;tln. Just
as Que N Wet ria was by bilt a;urlph
and she became Il Victim on her
marriage Thus the present King :
real name is George Victim.
However the name and title which
will actually he given to His Majesty on
the forthcoming new coinage will be
'Gcorgius V, Del Gratia. Britannlarum
Rex. Fiici Defcnsor, Indae Imperator.
1t is too long for the coinage, but this
is how The Kings full style and title
goes as corrected to date: George the
Fifth by the Grace Of God OF the United
Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland
and the British Dominions Beyond the
Seas King, Defender Of the Faith, EN-

FIGHTERS CAMPS.
Bets still Favor Jeffries-Preparation
to Flood County with Moving Pictures
of the Fight.

Jeffries' Training Camp Moana
Springs, Reno, New, June 3O.-Ihe
info" workers are getting busy on
the big fight. As result the odds
have frightened up, regaining the half
point they lost Tuesday night, when
they dropped from 10 to I. to 10 to .,
and then again to 10 to 6 IL. Last
night the Johnson money loosened up
a little. fair sized commission COM
ing in from San Francisco, and the
price bounded up to 10 to I. There
were few takers at this figure, because
there is feeling, based on something
really inscrutable, that there should
be drop to at least to l, or even as
low as 10 to 4. 1t has been no secret
that the Johnson camp is holding out
for the latter odds.
Arrangements for policing the arena
and giving medical attention to any
OF the spectators who may be over
come by the heat or be injured are
complete. With the state police, with
whom it is awfully unsafe to trifle, and
many deputy sheriffs and Pinkcrtons
on the job, it is not likely that any
one will have the temerity to create a
disturbance.
Johnson has been assured that; he
will be free from injury at the bands
of spectators, but he will have = num-
Der OF his own men stationed around
his corner. They will be with him
when he enters and leaves the ring.
Johnson's Training Camp, Rick S
Resort, Reno, New, June 3o.-No
time will be lost by moving picture men
in getting the pictures OF the Jeffries-
Johnson battle before the public. II
the arrangement does not miscarry,
the machine and operators will be
hustled from the ring-side in automo-
biles to a special train which vii! have
the right of way east and carry e:ee

CHARLTON'S CASE.

tion-IfDemand is Ignored Charlton

VIII be Convicted by Proxy.
Rome, June 30.-Unless Porter
Charlton, held in Il Jersey City jail
on the charge of numbering his wife
at MoltraSio, Italy, is surrendered to
the Italian government for trial, he
will be adjudged guilty OF murder by
proxy. In that event he may never
leave the United States without danger
of arrest in some country which will
carry out its extradition treaty with
Italy. The president of the Como
tribunal announced today that if the
United States refused to yield up Cllarl-
ion, or to try him in that country on
the murder charge, as Italy does with
prisoners wanted in the United States,
a court trial will be held, without the
presence of Charlton.
There is sufficient evidence to con-
vict him, by proxy, on the charge OF
murder. 1t is not believed in Italy
that the United States authorities will
permit Charlton to be returned here.
Italy's refusal to send back to the
United States prisoners wanted for
capital crimes in America, it is under
stood, will cause the United States to
refuse to act
Italy, however, will make formal
demand for the return of the prisoner
and will insist, within the range of
diplomatic courtesy, that he be re-
turned.

With the approach Of dog days the
canine subjects OF hefood experiments
have been emitting walls all night long
that might come from distorted and
misused stomachs, according to the
neighbors. Those who have suffered
from the midnight howls for the sake
OF science and the advancement of the

Doctor Wiley though he believes that
great benefits have been derived from
his tests, admitted that there was some

day agreed to remove the kennelor to

ing requests for retirement. As there

possible that the board will not be

The State Department received today
from the Chilean government an lnvi-
tation to participate i'll military tour
nament which will be held at Santiago

Centennial Celebration. The invitation
has been forwarded to the War Depart
ment. It is doubtful, however, that
the Unied States will be able to take
part.
S. P. Altschul, consul of the Madriz
fraction at New Orleans may get into
complications with the State Depart
ment as the result OF his appearance on
the Venus in Nicaraguan waters in a
military guise. The American vice
consul at Cape Gracias Dos reports
in mail dispatches received at the de-
partment today that General Altschul
with Irias and 60 men from the Venus
took possession of that town on June
IL. The State Department is not dis
posed to overlook the part played
by Consul AItschul and others under
the pretension that the Venus was an
expectation instead Of an extradition.
This further appearance OF the consul
in the Nicaguan fight as a military
officer may have tie effect of cutting
short his consu 4" career at New
Orleans. The Stale Department Is in
vestigating the case.
Congressman William Sulzer OF New
York doomed up in the State Depart
ment dispatches today with new
scheme for the regeneration OF the fast
dwindling tribe of Sioux Indians. The
dispatchc which was from Minister
Sands at Guatemala city, stated that
the arrival of Little Bison, Sioux
chief had been announced there. Little
Bison bore as his official credentials
letters from Congressman Sulzer and
said that he was there to investigate
conditions with the idea Of establishing
in Guatemala large settlement OF
Sioux Indians. The dispatch gave no
details of the project.

In one case OF the Banner Milling Co.

spring of 1907 the rates on flour and
wheat products from Buffalo to New
York we're increased from Toto ii cents
per 100 pounds and to New England
points from y to Is cents. The COM
mission regarded the increase as UNI
reasonable. But after representations
from the New York Central that it,
revenues had been. unduly. curtailcd by
this order the commission today
authorized the advanced rates to remain
in effect.

roads operating in the eastern trunk

4. 900 items. They were to become oper-

than IS changes in the whole list, Is OF
which are reductions voluntarily made
and 50 are increases. The commission
