MANY SURPRISES IN STOCK MARKETS
 YESTERDAY
Strong Late Market Follows Uncertainty in Early
 Transactions

NEW YORK, January 15.-After re. covering uncertainty in the early part of tuday's brief session, the stock mar ket made a smart recovery on final trading.
 Aggressive buying with attendant short covering resulted in general gain, some extending to over two points.
 Trading was again heavy on initial dealings. the greatest pressure being brought to bear upon the issues Union Pacific and United States Steel,
 All eyes are likely to be focused on the national capitol next week, when important developments in the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific dissolution suits are looked for. The political con, test in England, where general condi- tiORS seem much improved, are another factor to be reckOned with.
 Several surprises were furnished by the week in the bank statement. Tables of averages showed decreases in loans of over $7,7O0,OOO, but the actual com dition changed the following item to an increase of almost $l2,24O,OOO. AT ac. tuaI cash gain of over $22,0O0,OOO in excess of general calculations is shown. Actual reserves on deposits other than those of the United States government also showed large increase.

INJURED MIAMI MAN IMPROVING FROM
 WOUNDS
Story Told by Braud of How He Shot and Badly Hurt
 Louis Sinez

According to reports received from Miami yesterday, Louis Sinez, who was shot and badly injured by Tony Braud few days ago, is improving and it is thought that he will eventually recover
 As yet no action has been taken by the courts toward giving Braud an ex- animation, as the officials are waiting until something definite regarding Sin eZ condition can be learned. If is probable that formal charge will be made against Sinez within the next few days, however. He will be examined before Judge J. R. Barnett of Miami, owing to the fact that the witnesses all live in that district.
 Braud does not deny that he shot Sinez. He claims, however, that he shot him in self defense.
 Questioned by Judge Hinson Thomas informally yesterday, Braud told what was apparently a straightforward story of the occurrence.
 He had been boarding with SineZ sister, a married woman whose reputa- ton, Braud claims, is not of the best, hnd had become somewhat intimate with her.
 Thursday night they were together in room, he says, when Sinez entered. Braud claims that Sinez attacked him and to protect himself, he fired at him, not knowing who the intruder w. as the room was dark at the time.
 Sinez claims, it is said, that he en. tered the room without making any disturbance and was shot by Braud without any provocation.
 The affair has caused considerable excitement at Miami and the examIna- tion before Judge Barnett will be>watch ed with interest.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., January b. Representative Diekma of Michigan, formally announced today his candidacy for speaker of the house, at the end of the present session.
 Speaker Cannon has made it clear that he has no intention of resigning. He has already announced that he would he a candidate for reelection to con gress, but has never declared he would seek to be reelected speaker.
 Besides Mir. Diekma, several candi- dates are mentioned for the speaker. ship, including Charles Walter B. Smith of Iowa, member of the rules commit tee, James Mann of Illinois, chairman of the committee on interstate com merce, and Representative Olmstead of Pennsylvania.
 ''l am a regular and not an insur- gent, = said Mr. Diekma.

It does not seem pos. sible. the speakership will go to any of the present insurgents.
 Mir. Diekma is member of the ju- dietary committee and of the committee on election of president and vice presi- dent and representatives, and has served two terms in congress.
 ''I am not a candidate for the speak ership,' said Mir. Mann.'I am for Uncle Joe first, last and all the time. v

All That Now Remains Will Be Execution of Bond
 for Erection

If Contractor D. A. Evans of Tucson qualities properly on his bond, he will be awarded the contract for the con struction of the new, Elks' building, according to a decision reached by the building committee of that organiza- tion yesterday.
 Evans submitted bid of $34, 700, the lowest of several offers. His bid is about $2,500 lower than the nearest competitor, also Tucson contractor. The local bids were still higher.
 This figure is some 5000 higher than the Elks had figured on, but the building committee is in favor of award ing the contract to Evans and it is probable that the necessary formalities of securing bond will be completed within the next few days
 Chairman George R. Hill of the build ing committee stated last night that the matter of letting contract had been very thoroughly discussed, at meet ing held yesterday for the opening of the sealed bids and that there was very little likelihood of the contract not be- ing awarded to Evans.
 It is probable that all preliminaries,
  new building will be completed within the next thirty days, and that six weeks at the outside will see active work on the new structure under way.
 The new building is to be 40 by 100 feet in size, three stories in height with a basement underneath the entire building. The first floor will be used for a theater, with the second floor ar ranged for club rooms and the third floor fitted up AOr a lodge room.
 The building, according to the plans Of Architects Holmes & Holmes, will be of a very handsome design'and very conveniently arranged. The quarters of the Elks will be sumptuous and the entire structure will be one of the finest of its kind in the entire territory and will rank favorably with any Elks' building in the entire southwest, in con struction, appearance and equipment, even though it will not be as large as those in some of the larger cities on the coast

GLOBE MEN LEAVE
 ON EXTENDED HUNT
Declare They Will Not Re
 turn Without Wildcat

Emmet Booker and John Wallace. both with Morehead Lunn, will start this morning for the Finals, where they will indulge in wild eat hunt. The young men declare they will not re- turn until they secure at least one wild eat, and their friends are hoping the untamed felines will be gracious enough to permit themselves to be slain by these mighty nimrods ere many days pass by, because the snow upon the cloud-capped summits look very white and cold these days.
 In the absence of one of the kind that dwells in forests, perhaps the hun ters might be persuaded to content themselves with one of the musical kind that help to swell the midnight chorus here iu Globe. If this should prove to be the case, doubtless more than one weary sleepless watcher and unwilling listener would rise up and call them blessed in a degree to correspond with the number they bagged.
 Seriously, however, the young men will find it very cold in the Finals af ter sundown, and it is to be hoped their first days hunt is successful.
