appointment.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-speculative liquida-
ton was renewed m the stock market TO-
day with much the same appearance OF
urgency as on the opening day OF the new
year.
There was no IA per cent money rate
today on to account for the weakness OF
the stock market and other Oominal eX-
plantations were advanced. Many OF tn Sc
bore an appearance Of mere surmise, the
busiest of which centered about Rock Is
land. The personal phase Of the d sCuss on
was a supplement to the gossip brUu ut
out by the eccentric bulge OF 3lL points
in the stock followed by a total relapse;
all within the space Of fifteen minutes on
the day after the Christmas holiday inter
val.
Rumors were plentiful regarding the scope
and power OF the influences being eXerted
to make effective the desired ~disapproval
" the Rock Island market management.
The principal selling Of the day was at
tributed to the retirement Of speculative
commitments which had been prompted by
this disciplinary movement.
More substantial grounds for the weak
ness of stocks were found in other factors.
For one thing, the unexpected stringency
OF the money market after the first Of
the year and the absence of investment
demand Tor stocks growing out OF TIE
annual disbursements of profits haYe proved
a disappointment. one Of the difficulties
encountered in holding over through The
autumn was the fall in the banking surp Us
70 near the vanishing point In November,
The wholesale shifting of loans then re-
sorted to in order to avert a deficit H.
volved the assumption OF obligations which
are believed to be coming due now. The
money market facilities for meeting these
obligations are less than expected and

The relief afforded TO the loan account

HUGHES WOULD LIMIT
INCOME AMENDMENT
New York Governor would Not Give
Power over state and city
Bonds.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 5.-Governor
Hughes, in his annual message to the leg
islature today, dwelt at length on the pro-
posed constitutional amendment comforting
on the federal government the power to lay
and collect an income tax "frUn whatever
source derived without apportionment
among the states according to population,
and In conclusion recommended that this
amendment be not ratified,
Il am not I'm favor of comforting on the
federal government the power 10 lay and
collect such a tax he said. Il believe
that this power should be held by the fed
eral government so as to properly equip
it with the means of meeting national eX-
igencles.
But the power to tax incomes should
not be granted in such terms as to subject
to federal taxation the incomes derived
from bonds issued by the state itself or
those issued by municipal governments Of
fered under the states authority. To place
the borrowing capacity of the state and OF
it's governmental agencies at the mercy or
the federal taxing power, would be an Inn
palrment of the essential rights of the state
which, as it's officers, we are bound to de-
fend.'
The governor urged an amendment to the
anti-racing laws penalizing the practice or
bookmaking, even though no beJs are re-
corded.

-Four Cremated
in Livery Barn
Woman, Two Children and Aged Man
Burn to Death in'Fire at
Peoria.

PEORIA. Ill. Jan. 5.-Mrs Linton David
son and her two children were burned 10
death in a fire, which destroyed the How
enden livery barn on Main street at an
early hour this morning. Litton Davidson,
sr., the husband and father, escaped from
the fire by jumping from a two story
window to the icy pavement below and
suffered injuries which ina result In his
death.
1t is believed Joseph Pacey, an aged man,
who roomed with the Davidsons, lost his
life, as friends were unable to locate him
after the flames we're under control, and
he Is known to have been In the building
The fire which started at $40 a. m. from
an overheated stove in the office Of the
barn, destroyed the whole building. All OF
tho many valuable horses we're rescued
but three. The fiie was under control only
after the barn had been entirely destroyed.
Davidson did not jump from the window
until after he had awakened his wife and
children and put them on the roof, where
he thought they would be safe until res
cued. The fire swept up the stairs into the
rooms where the Davidsons lived and con-
sequently blocked their way OF escape.
Mrs. Davidson feared to jump from the
roof with the babies, and when it tumbled
in all three went down with It.

WILLIAM G. PORTER RESIGNS
Prominent south Dakota official VIII
Devote His Full Time 10 Law
Practice.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Jan. 6.-(Special)-
William G.. Porter, for some years assistant
United States attorney for South Dakota,
and on two occasions United States attor-
ney for the district, has rendered his reslg-
nation and will retire from the office.
The name Of his successor has not yet
been officially announced. Mr.. Porter was
first appointed assistant United States at
torney in March, 1898, coming to Sioux Falls
from Custer county, where he for two
terms filled the office of states attorney.
He held the office of assistant United
States attorney continuously until April IL,
1906, when a vacancy occurred in the office
Of United States attorney, and he was APP
pointed United States attorney by Judge
John E.. Garland Of the federal court.
On July II, 1906, Mr.. Porter was reap
pointed assistant United States attorney,
which position he held until March 8, 1907,
when he was again appointed United States
attorney by Judge Garland. and served as
such officer until July /, 1907, when he was
again appointed assistant attorney, holding
the office up to the present time, or until
he rendered his resignation. Mr.. Porter for
years has conducted a private law practice,
and this has grown to such proportions
that it became necessary for him to devote
all his attention to it, and 1t was because
of this that he decided to resign the office
of assistant United States attorney.

Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Wheat showed weak
ness here today; corn also fell off. Oats
evinced less change than the other grains,
while provisions were generally lower.
Persistent selling in the wheat pit pre-
vailed despite much bullish sentiment.
Prices fell off at the opening and again
just before the end of the trading after the
bulls advanced all the futures and forced
May prices a shade higher than yesterdays
final figures. Closing figures for July and
September were &c and 1ac lower, respec-
lively, than yesterday. May spread over a
range of 1q11sc, closing &QBc lower at
$1.l3Ac.
There was a big trade in corn, prices
flu~ctuating over a range of from nc to &c
in the different futures. The close was
weak in all the futures. Larger offerings
We're absorbed rapidly and new high points
for the crop were registered In July and
September, at 66hc and Csc, respectively.
May closed a shade lower at 67Ac,
Activity marked the oats pit and strong
cash demand pushed the prices sharply
higher, only to fall again on realizing sales.
The close for May was 471sc, hc lower than
the high point for the day and sc higher
than yesterday. The other futures fluctu-
ated within a range of kc.
In provisions, pork closed 2kd20c lower,
lard 2sd5c lower and ribs 7hc lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
