The trading at the meeting today of

attention was given to the bond list and
In securities of that sort.
There was trading in the bonds of both
the railway companies and slight bust
ness in the railway stocks. Washington
Railway preferred sold for S9ls and the
bid was then 50 and the asking price
three-eighths in advance. In both in
stances the figures represented high re-
cent levels.
Only one transaction was made in gas

soon at the high level of yesterdays

Nothing was done in the stock of the
United States Trust Company, although
the bid for it was 10 and also for fifty

MINORITY CARRIES POINT.
Interstate Commission Substituted
for Court of Commerce.

The House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce is playing ducks and
brakes with the Townsend administratio
railroad bill. After a lively executive ses-
sion this morning the committee adopted
a motion to substitute the Interstate COM
merce commission for the court Of COM
merce as the tribunal to receive petitions
or applications of railroads desiring to
acquire interests in other roads. This mo-
ton was in accord with minority senti-
ment against the court OF commerce as
an unnecessary institution, and the Sec
ton vesting the court with jurisdiction
in the matter was interpreted by the
democratic members as creating business
for an unnecessary body.
The motion in question carried by a
vote Of to Z. two members Of the COM
mittee being absent. Chairman Mann.
who all along has been opposed to the
court Of commerce feature of the bill.

sentative Stevens of Minnesota.

Large Expenditures Planned.

Although not little curiosity was man.
Tested In the matter before the directors
meeting, the declaration of the Western
Union dividend at the regular quarterly
rate probably disappointed nobody. 1t Is
understood that the Western Union, I'M
der the new management, Is likely to
make some large expenditures for i'm
provement for some time to come. In q
way the fact that pig iron prices have de-
clined 80 cents a ton from the level at
which the United States Steel Corporation
bought a large quantity about a month
ago might be construed as an adverse
feature of the situation, but the contfnu-
ing strength and increasing activity in
finished lines provide adequate offsets
1t could not be said that the Philadel-
phia strike situation looked any better
On the contrary, 1t was made worse, at
least specifically, by the resolution OF
the Pennsylvania state Federation Of La
Dor that a national strike should be de-
clared in sympathy with the original
strikers against the Philadelphia Traction
Company.
The stock market community however.
was still more disposed to take cogniz-
ance of favorable and unfavorable de-
velopments, and in the category of en-
couragement the increase In the New
York Central dividend held the most i'm
portant place.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Although the
stock market must have been pretty we'll
sold for long account yesterday and the
day before, and although some profess
sional traders were inclined to think that
the list looked rather "toppy" yesterday
afternoon, expectations of pronounced
reaction were not encouraged by today's
developments during the greater part of
the session.
On the lower price level established In
London before the local opening. some
bearish hopes were reared and initial
prices here were indeed at declines of
from half point to a point below last
nights close.
AS 1t turned out. however the opening
quotations afforded good opportunities to
make purchases for what Wall street
calls quick turns. From the opening
prices the market rose quickly and in
the subsequent dealings scored marked
gains over yesterdays final figures, with
pronounced strength in some influential
was very firm.
A few of the recent leaders, such as
United States Steel, Pennsylvania and
Reading, seemed to be more or less under
the influence of realizing sales, but there
were enough important stocks to take up
the task of carrying on the advance.
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and New
York Central were such leaders as are
accustomed to command market fol-
lowing, and in other directions q stimulus
was furnished to speculative activity by
the course of Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
Wabash preferred, American Cotton Oil,
National Lead and Virginia-Carolina
Chemical.

Asks for the Reasons.

Inc state Department in response,
asked Baron Takahira for a statement
OF the reasons for his request, at the
same time expressing willingness to
CONSIDER these reasons in a perfectly
friendly spirit. Since that time nothing
mas been heard from Japan on the sub
ject, and 1t is stated as practically set
tied that the United States will not
take up the negotiations for a new
treaty With japan until the treaty now
in force is about to expire.

Attitude of United States.

Inc attitude of the United States gov
eminent In the matter of a new treaty
win japan Is that the present treaty
does not legally terminate until one
year after the expiration of Japan's
treatles with the other powers. In
view OF this fact. the United States is
unwilling at present to omen nero-
tiatlons for the new treaty, as it does
not seem that any advantage would
accrue to either party by such q course
some time early in August of last
year When Baron Takahira, the Japa-
nese ambassador to Washington. was
about to return to his country, he
presented to the State Department a
suggestion that the United States take
up with the other countries at once
the negotiations of the new treaty.

Increase In Dividend.

Unquestionably the most interesting
happening of the day, because Of its
direct bearing on the stock market, was
the declaration of quarterly dividend on
New York Central at the rate Of per
cent year, an increase of 1 per cent.
Rather this was a restoration of the
dividend to the rate which the recent
panic period prevented the company from
maintaining, but the fact of restoration
lent point to the view advanced in i'm
portant financial quarters that stocks
are intrinStcally cheap at the present
time in comparison with their earnings
and that what the market has to reckon
with is not SO much the question of
prices as of financial and especially polit-
zeal prospects.
So far as the financial outlook goes
this weeks money market has on the
whole manifested Improvement, de-
spite the slightly greater firmness Of
Wall streets lending rates and despite
the indications that the local banks
IL is the foreign exchange market
which Is most to be noted in con-
sidering the money situation. and dur
ing the last three days exchange mas
been falling, presumably in conse-
quence OF the steady absorption OF our
securities for European account. This
is not to say, though. that any larSe
part Of the new New York city bond
issue will be placed abroad. The Eu-
ropean fancy for our securities Is Tor
obligations returning q greater yield
than this issue is expected to return.
Albeit II any substantial total Of these
bonds does cross the ocean, Wall street
may properly consider 1T SO much gain.
The days budget of news of market
wise bearing was of mixed sort Brook
Ign Rapid Transit unquestionably re-
fiected the decision of the public service
commission that ten-cent fare to Coney
Island was not unreasonable

CASE:

CAPSULE ADMINISTERED TO
MILLIONAIRE CONTAINED
STRYCHNINE, SAYS CORON-
ER'S JURY.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. o.
The coroner's jury today returned
a verdict finding that Col. Thomas
II. SwOpe, the millionaire, WAS
killed by strychnine i'm a capsule
administered at the direction of
DR.. B. G. Hyde, a distant relative
of Swope.
The coroner's Jury in its verdict
says that Col. Swope came to his
death "by strychnine poisoning
and from the evidence, we believe
that the said strychnine poisoning
was administered in a capsule at
about $3.50 a. m. on the day he
died by direction of DR.. B. c.
Hyde, but whether with felonious
intent. we, the jury, are unable TO
decide"
The circumstances surrounding
the refusal of DR.. Hyde's attorney
to allow the doctor to take the
stand probably had its influence
with the jury when weighing the
evidence.

Col. Swope, had repeated a part

The fact that the republicans

majority of 5000 over his oppon-
ent, A. V. Bouillon, while the
democrats cast only 2,746 votes,
is taken by many politicians to
forecast Gill's election. William
Hickman Moore was nominated as
his opponent by the democrats.
Gill went before the people with
the flat declaration for an open
town, asserting that certain re-
strictions which have been en-
forced would be Immediately re-
moved if he was elected mayor.
