FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York. May 31.-The volume of dealings in the stock market expand ed today on a descending range of prices. The decline became precipi- tate when it was announced that the department of justice was to apply for an injunction to restrain the proposed increase in freight rates by western railroads. which were to go into effect tomorrow. Prices had sagged from the outset but on much less active mar ket than after this news became known.
 The topic was under considerati tion, however. by reason of the request made by western shippers in Washing ton yesterday for this action of the government and the resolution on the subject introduced in the senate today. A retrospect of the market for the day shows that the prospect of increased rates by the railroads played an i'm portant part in the comprehensive ad- vances in prices.
 The week after notices had been filed with the interstate commerce commission of the intended increase prices started upward from the low levels of the year. It was at the same time that the reports of the sale of American railroad bonds in Paris to the extent of from s100. 100000 to s150.- 900 were circulated. The depend ence of the railroads for increased freight charges to keep up earnings has been much emphasized in connec- ton with the public agitation against the increases and great stress has been laid on the large increases in operating cost from the high costs of material and advances in wages.
 The intended increase in rates at all events was made the instrument for lifting prices of stocks and the occa- sion for an extensive speculation for the rise. The sale of these accumu- lations came as a natural consequence.
 Bonds were easy. Sales, s2,102. 900. United. States bonds were unchanged.

4 FIGHT PERMIT
 \ THING OF FACT GRANTED YESTERDAY BY FRISCO
 SUPERVISORS. Protesting Delegations Were Given No Chance to Be Heard.

San Francisco, May 31.-With only two dissenting votes and without pre- Iiminary discussion, the permit for the forty-five round battle on July 4 between Jeffries and Johnson was granted late this afternoon by the board of supervisors.
 The board room was crowded with representatives of various church and civic organizations. who came armed with protests. but they did not get a chance to discuss the proposed per- init as it was advanced on the boards calendar and passed before they realized what had taken place. When they learned that the permit had been granted they protested in- dignantly and left the room in a body.
 By their action today the board of supervisors removed the last official obstacle in the way of the promoters, and Rickard and his associates may now proceed with the erection of the arena with little fear of interference, as District Attorney Fickert has all ready announced that he will not seek to prevent the contest.
 When the board assembled the room was crowded with interested parti- sans of both sides. Besides the rep resentatives of state and city church federations, a number of women were

THE GREAT NORTHERN
 GUILTY 0F OMISSION
But IL Was Found Not Guilty of the
 Avalanche

Seattle, Wash. March, 2$.-The cor oner's jury which has been investi- gating the disaster at Wellington in which ninety lives were lost, today brought in a verdict finding that the avalanche was beyond human control. Although the verdict does not fix the responsibility for the disaster upon the Great Northern, it is criticised for not having placed it's trains in place to avert the accident. 1t is criticised also for having paid the laborers engaged in clearing the track only 15 cents an hour. out of which they had to pay their board. .
 The jury's report says that as, a result of the company's paying such small wages. thirty-five men left the work when their services were most needed and the jury censures the company for not retaining sufficient men to clear the track regardless of cost
 The railroad is further criticised for not maintaining sufficient fuel at Wellington to keep the blows working when communication was shut off
