JOHNSON WILL NOT Be
At INAUGURATION BALL
GOvernor-EIeCt Wants His In
staIIation to Be "SimpIe
and Direct"

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 27.-Hlram W.
Johnson, governor-elect, prior to his
departure for washington on Saturday.
dictated two letters, one to a friend
and the other to the mayor OF Sacra-
mento, declining to attend a ball in his
honor which was planned for his in-
auguration.
A few days ago the mayor appointed
a committee of 130 citizens to arrange
for the customary inauguration ball,
the list having been submitted by Mr..
Johnson's local friends.
In his letter to the mayor, received
today, Mr.. Johnson says:
80 far as am personally concerned,
I prefer that your plans be not carried
out. The design of the administration
I am about to enter is simple and di-
rect, and 1 wish my inauguration to be
of the most simple character, without
ceremony or ostentation."
Mr.. Johnson says in his letter to his
friend, Victor Hatfield: 81 wish the in
auguration to be characteristic of the
administration-dire certain and
simple. The early days OF that admin
istration will be most difficult and ar
duous to me, and 1 expect to devote
myself day and night to the accom-
plishment of the purpose for which
undertook the struggle, and while, OF
course, social amenities of the position
will be punctiliously observed, any su-

SPECULATIVE ACTIVITY
OF MARKET SUBSIDIES
Uncertainty in Freight Rates and
Industry Acts as Restraint
on Stock Operations

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-A subsistence
of speculative activity marked the
dealings in last weeks stock market,
in spite of the decided relaxation in
money rates and the growing assurance
that money stringency would be
avoided for the rest of the year.
The dullness of the speculation was
ascribed partly to the discountenanc-
ing of activity by the banking author
tiles and partly to- uncertainty over the
industrial and trade outlook.
The present ease of the money
market is attributed in large part to
restraint In stock speculation and is
felt to be dependent on the continu-
ance Of that restraint. The marketing
of the years crops is relied on to pro-
vide resources for the liquidation OF
the expanded bank loans.
In the financial district first import
ance is attached to the future railroad
bond market. Money market resources
will be conserved as far as possible to
help the f1otation of coming bond is
sues. The enlistment of resources in
speculation is discouraged on that ac-
count.
Sales of small new issues of first
class bonds indicate, by the terms OF
the sales, the difficulties that confront
the corporations.
The problem of capital requirements
of railroads is complicated by the un-
solved question of freight rate ad-
vances by the interstate commerce
commission. Meantime railroad orders
for material are held down and the
hoped for revival in the steel trade is
set forward to the new year.

HOLDS IMPORTANT CASES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27,-With the
reconvening tomorrow of the supreme
court OF the United States, after its
Thanksgiving recess, 1T is said the

decisions.
Among the cases under consideration

ity of the Carmack amendment to the
interstate commerce law making initial
carriers liable for loss of shipments
on connecting lines; the constitution
ality of the Missouri 2-cent passenger
rate law; the constitutionality of the
full crew. acts of Arkansas and In
diana; the constitutionality of the labor
contract law of Alabama; the validity

ments of the Press Publishing COM
pany of New York; of the indictment
