ONLY THREE STOCKS
ARE SHOWING ACTIVITY
Union Pacific Reading and United States Steel Common
Make Up About Two Thirds of the Aggregate
Trading Activity.

actual liquidation is in progress al the
higher range that has been reached is
a proof that a mass of holders of these
stock do not think quotations for them
to high or resting upon an insecuA
foundation.
In other words. or as it is commonly
put N Wall street the high prices do
not bring OUT stocks, and the con-
tention is that a reasonable inference
therefrom is that the popular judgment
includes to the opinion that prices are
not to high.
1t is to be said on this point first
tina. ii is evident liquidation was in
deed in progress while the rise was
going on. and the stocks thus sold now
rest in large blocks in the hands of
few people, who. as would seem on
the face of things, might have difficulty
in selling them at the prese tnlevel
Secondly. that more convincing test
OF the force of the argument referred
to would be an attempt just at the
moment to lift the prices materially
further.
The uprush in Union Pacific common
and United States Steel has covered
about 10 points. and there are com
petent judges who hold tina. this a..
vance is, dIteT all, NOT extremely I'M
reasonable in view of the admitted i'm
provement that has occurred since mid
summer in general conditions At pre-
vailing valuations each of these stock .
return an attractive interest yield on
an investment purchased, and call
money has become relatively cheap so
| that brokers and others are not press
ing their customers to make realization
sales This helps greatly to maintain
the advance But it may be doubte..
whether a further rise would not bring
the price of the two speculative market
| favorites so close to the records made
in boom times that the market factor o.

lions with those of a period of heyday

threw his strength to Marshall in order
to keep Slack from being nominated.
Slack will not be candidate for gov
ernor. He made this statement a few
days ago. He says he went into the
race two years ago merely to extend
his acquaintance and that he had no
idea when he started that he could be
nominated. He also was a candidate
for Senator when Shively was elected
and again this year before the Demo-
cratic state convention, but this time
he was defeated by John w. Kern. So
he says he will not again be a candi-
date for anything.
Congressman Adair, OF the Eighth
district, is looking the ground over and
may decide to be candidate. In fact.
it is believed that he already has his
mind made UP. He IS regarded as the
strongest probability thus far heard of.
Congressman Boehne. of the First dis
trict, also is talked of but he has not
decided what he will do. He would
rather be governor than congressman,
1t is believed, from what he has said.
and he will probably decide to go after
the nomination IL he finds that some
other Democrat can be elected to con-
gress from the First district How
ever, he will remain a candidate for
Congress IL he finds that there Is a
likelihood that the Republicans would
be able to elect their man down there
in case he stepped aside.
With all :: this going on so soon az
ter an election it is easy to understand
why people talk about Indiana tho
state of perpetual campaigns

SHOT WHILE
PLAYING
INDIAN

Paul White, the II year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. O. White, 72O Mary
land street. who was accidentally shot
last Saturday afternoon while playing
Indian" by Paul Graham his play
mate, is still in a serious condition and
it is said that his chances of recovery
are about even.
The bullet entered the boys left
breast at a point about a half an inch
over, the heart He was hurried to
his home. but it was thought best by
the physicians attending not to operate
al the time being. Owing to his age
and healthy condition it is thought
his chances of recovery are good un
less unforeseen complications set in.
The two boys are the best of friends
and the shooting of White by his play
mate was purely accidental and with
out the slightest malice. The boys
each had % caliber rifle and had been
shooting at a target previous to the
shooting near the Wabash tracks. They
decided to play that they were Indians
and were lodging about the trees and
pointing their rifles at each other. Ora
ham, forgetting that his rifle was
loaded. pulled the trigger and White
fell Graham ran to his playmate's
side, little knowing what he had done.
The frightened boys ran TO their homes
and notified the police, who in turn
called an ambulance and Young White
was taken to the home of his parents.
The Graham boy was distracted for a
long time and refused to be comforted,
and at present is Ill at the home of his
parents

Office than he could If he were to be-
come candidate. 1t is known that he
will contribute largely to the maya
zines and that he will write several
books. But he will not be a candidate
for Governor. Suggestions and re-
quests that he be a candidate have
come to him from all over the state,
but he has not yielded to any Of them.
ANOTHER POSSIBILITY.
Charles A. Bookwalter, former mayor
of Indianapolis, is another possible can
didate for the Republican nomination.
He Is one of the best known Republi-
cans in Indiana and one of the most
popular. Just now he is one of the
highest salaried men in the state, II
not the highest. few months ago
he was offered an important position
with a large eastern corporation and
was asked to name his own salary.
Bookwaiter placed the figure so high
that he had no Idea that it would be
considered for a minute, but the cor
poration aceptced the price without any
argument. and it is said that Book
walter is now receiving 100000 year
from his new employer. He has de-
clined to make known the price, but
this is the figure which is understood
|
be willing to give up this kind of a
governor receives is a question which
only he can answer, but the belief is
that he would not. However, stranger
things than that have happened.
NO WORD FROM WATSON.
No one is expecting James E. Watson
to be a candidate for governor. w. T.
Durhin of Anderson has the governor
ship bee in his bonnet and it Is the
theory of most politicians that he will
be in the race.
James Bingham, attorney general.
announced just after the close of the
session of the legislature of two years
ago that he would be a candidate for
Governor but whether he is still in
that same frame of mind is not known.
Bingham will retire from office on the
first of January He is one of the
strongest dry supporters in the state,
and when he made his announcement
that he would be a ca ndidate for gov
ernor it was as a dry candidate on the
LIQUOR issue But the result of the re-
cent election has so mixed the situa-
ton that 1t is a question IL a dry can
didate could make much Roadway
Among the Democrats also there are
several men who would not run away
from the nomination for Governor.
Samuel NJ. Ralston. of Lebanon. is the
first avowed candidate. He announced
a couple of wesgs ago that he would
go after it. He was a candidate for
the nomination two years ago. with l.
Ert Slack, of Franklin, running him a
close second. Ralston withdrew after
the fifth ballot in the convention and

FARMERS
SELL TURKS
THEN GETNOSY
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Nov. 2S-A story
which would seem to illustrate the
force Of the old adage to the effect that
It makes a difference whose OK is being
gored. has come over from Lowell, and
although the incident which forms the
basis OF the story happened a week ago,
II is of interest. The Cumberland
Lodge an organization composed of
Chicago sportsmen had planned an ante
Thanksgiving shoot to take place at
the lodge in which turkeys were to be
the victims and the trophies of those
who contested in the event
The committee in charge went
around amoung the farmers with a
proposition to purchase 100 turkeys
which were to be placed in boxes with
only their heads exposed, and the
marksnan whose eye was sufficiently
true to enable him to bring down a
bird, won it.
The farmers were agreeable and said
they would provide the 100 turkeys at
cost of 1918 each. The price looked
just a trife steep to, the committee even
IN these days of the increased cost OF
living, and wehn they brought the
proposition home to the club, one of
the members said he could get the birds
cheaper of a friend in South Water
street He was given leave by the
organization to go ahead and see wha
he could do. and the result was the
drawing of a contract with the friend
to provide the 100 turkeys at a lump
sum of 5000.
The turkeys were provided in due
course and shipped to the place of
slaughter.
But then a strange thing occurred.
The farmers who had agreed to furn-
ish the birds at 1915 per. go, together
and allowed that 1t was a SIN and a
shame to engage in trap shooting any
how. Moreover that it was against
the majesty OF the law OF >the state Of
Indiana. The more they talked things
over. the more their righteous indigna-
| ton grew. 1T was an outrag e," said
they. Ito shot birds in traps, and their
humane principles would not stand for
| such inhuman sport.
| They accordingly sought legal advice
as to whether it would not Be possible

to stop the sport. A bright legal mind
dug up mouldly law which forpio s
trap shooting in the state, and the au-
thorities of Lowell promptly informed
the officers of the club that the shoot
on the lines proposed was forbidden.
The lodge thereupon substituted clay
birds for live ones and the shoot pro-
ceeded with this change. Successful
marksmen being awarded a live bird.
The club members have been trying
to figure out ever since how it comes
that law which prohibits shooting
South Water street birds at 81 each in
Boxes, does not apply to the country

farmers at 1915 each.

C0L0REO
MINISTER
USES GUN

John Kotsiantones Gary Greek
was most seriously wounded yester-
day forenoon by Rev. Lee Clark, a col
several attempts, tried to force an en-
try into his home
There are several stories out con-
corning how the trouble started, but
Chief OF Police Martin stated to
TIMES reporter this morning that a
number OF the Greeks had been caus-
ing trouble near Clark's shack at Eff
teenth avenue and Jefferson street yes
ierday morning. Clark came out of the
house on several differen at occasions and
told the men not 20 cause any disturb
ance around his place. The last time
he came to the door some hot words en-
sued and Kotsiantones Is said to have
i:nrled brick at the colored minister.
Clark entered his house again, armed
himself with a revolver and when the
men attempted to break IN the door he
fired a shot, the bullet, striking Kot-
siantones.
The wounded man sank to the side
walk and his companions attempted to
carry him away. An ambulance was
summoned and he was taken to Mercy
hospital 1t is said that his chances of
recovery are good.
The police were summoned on the
case and Clark was arrested a short
time afterward and placed in the police
station to await his hearing. The pre-
liminary hearing will not be held for
several days pending the condition of
the injured man.

MAY
Be MADE ON
PARK BOARD

It is more than probable that de-
termined fight will be made in the Gary
common council tonight by some of the
aldermen regarding the proposed move
ment to create park board. Although
the city is entitled to such a commission
some of the aldermen declare the mu-
nicipality is already under enough ex-
pense without putting some more leak
holes into the city treasury.
The plan is said to create a park
board merely to supply a few more
berths for the faithful and condemn
some lake front property. not so much
for public park but to pave the way
for an amusement park to be domi-
mated over by some local politicians.
At the present time Gary has no pub
lie parks, and the fact that a park
board is wanted is looked upon with
suspicion by some of the aldermen.
1t is true that Jefferson park in the
west end has been completed, but the
steel corporation. which owns the
property, has no intention of turning
it over to the public for some time to
come. The corporation has also set
aside East park, which Is still unim-
proved.
Even were a park board named it
would have no jurisdiction over these
grounds as they are private property
and the steel company intends to throw
them open to the public. but will for
some time to come attend to the regu-
.lation of them itself
Some surprises may also be expected
at the council session tonight and a
fight may be precipitated as the result
of the expense account" appropria-
tions. which, if passed, will be applied
to patch up deficiencies in some of the
city departments.

New York. Nov 2S.-People gener
the present stock market as one in
which there are daily dealings in a
large and varied number of stocs, but
it has come to be understood by those
in close touch with the actual condi-
ton of affairs that trading in three
stocks-Union Pacific common. United
States Steel common and Reading COM

day from three ffths to two-thirds of
the aggregate business done in stocks.

stocks now not hours but days elapse
before transactions in them occur
Among a somewhat larger class only
one or two hundred shares of an issue
are dealt in during each stock exchange
session, and might be expected, the
market for such issues has become
poor. 1T is interesting to note that
despite the great rise in few quarters.

TALLY the same as six weeks ago.
Last week the active manipulation in
Union Pacific and United States Steel

doned of putting a relatively large
quantity of buying and selling orders
in each one of the stocks on two or
three occasions each day, with the re-
suit of producing at these times a vio-

Attempted To Hold Frightened Team
BY Bits and ls Run

F. A. Clarke was badly injured,
Tuesday evening at the head of Wal
owa lake, when his team took fright
md he attempted to hold them by
he bits. After being taken to his
lone here DR.. Ault was called and
tressed the wounds Of the injured
man.
Mr.. Clarke had driven to the lake
fter a camping outfit his family
Ind friends had used there in brief
puting. While thus engaged some
me discharged small caEbre rifle
which frightened the horses. Mr..
Clarke at the time was standing on
he ground, and grabbed the fright
ened animals by the bits, seeking
o hold them. In the melee which
'ollowed Mr.. Clarke was thrown anu
he team passed over him.
He was taken to the lower end of
he lake in launch. and from there

TWILIGHT LEAGUE
ELECTS OFFICERS
c. w. AMEY PRESIDENT AND E.
7. ANDERSON AND w. E.
TAGGART UMPIREs.

The Twilight League of Enterprise
met Saturday night and effected
complete organization, c. w. Amey
of the r. S. 4 z. store being elected
president, secretary and treasurer,
and L. 7. Anderson and w. B. Tag
gart official umpires. II. A. Gallo
way was chosen official scorer.
Although everybody has had lots
OF legitimate fun over the formation
OF the league, it has its serious pur-
pose. One object of its management
is a financial one. The small gate
charge of 10 cents will go to main
tain the expenses of the first team
of Enterprise. thus eliminating the
usual subscription or donation for
new uniforms, paraphernalia and
the like. BY thus replenishing the
treasury of the first team in the
Two County league, considerable
aid will be effected.
Another object of the Twilight
League is that of drawing out
prospective players from among
whom the big team can be supplied
as fast as new players are needed
1t is a far-sighted policy and one
that is practiced by the big leagues
throughout the country, the National
and American and similar leagues
drawing continuously from the min
or leagues of the United States.
The Twilight League of Enterprise,
with its four teams, is to the En-
terprise first team what the minor
league teams of the nation are to
the big leagues. By maintaining a
systematic course of "try outs" fresh
timber for the first team here can
be on hand, all the time, and the
first team can in time be built into
almost an invincible array of base
bail talent.
In the Twilight League a schedule
OF three games between each club in
the league has been effected, carry
ing the games on for nine weeks.
The first official game occurred
Monday night, between Alder View
nvincibles and the Alkah Peaches.
The next game will be played Thurs
day evening between the Brooklyn
Trolleydodgers and the Hillside Hay
diggers. After this, the teams will
alternate Mondays and Thursdays
in the evening.
All games will be called at 6
o'clock prompt. The team that is
not ready at Cos will forfeit the
game to the team on the field ready
to play.

Rev. D. F. Gillard on his return
rom church near Hanson's ferry
yesterday was thrown by a buck

empted to continue the journey, when
he bucking animal again became un-
culy, running forward and jumping
practically into the buggy between
he men and the team they were
irving. This frightened the team.

iprang ou., and Mr.. Hewett was
brown from the rig. The team,
frightened by the plunging horse,
ian away, tearing the buggy to
fragments. Joseph Young then took
