LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

II there was any business to be done in
local securities but a small part of it
was transacted at the session today Of
the Stock Exchange. One of the brokers
had block of five of the Potomac Power
Company's firsts, and by making a liberal
concession on the price he found buyer
The price paid was 1O713.
Some of the common stock of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany sold at 3D. The demand for this
stock Is about the only instance just now
of a demand for anything in the way OF
stocks and bonds.
The following estimate of current con-
ditions from the standpoint Of an OBJ
server of the general financial market
specially interested in bonds and other
investment securities Is given:
while the tendencies of the American
people are undoubtedly toward extrava-
gance, the marked attention which Is be-
ing given to this phase of life at the
present time will unquestionably result in
the development of more moderate and
economical methods in business and pri-
vate life.
1.-The tendency torestrict all loans for
any construction or development purpose,
or for financing undeveloped real estate
transactions and the general liquidation
which is taking place not only in securi-
ties, but in commercial lines, will I'M
doubtedly create a condition Of low
money rates. which must have its effect
on investment securities"

President Taft today ordered reprievc
Of ninety days, from September g. of the

ney General, who is required to- pass on

made without consideration of the facts
in the case Wynne was convicted of the
murder Of his superior officer. McKinnon,
third assistant engineer of the Rosecrans,
while the ship was stationed at Honolulu,
September 20, 1907. At the time of the
crime Wynne was drunk and had been

ARGUES AGAINST REMOVAL.
Judpe Alton B. Parker Counsel Tor
Alleped Bucket Shop Brokers.

NEW YORK. August Am United
States circuit court Judge Hough heard
argument by ex-Judge Alton B. Parker
in opposition to the recommendation OF
ITnited States Commissioner Shields for
the removal to Washington, d. C.. OF
Louis and Angelo Celia and Samuel W.
Adler, who are under indictment there
on the charge of conducting bucket
shop.
Judge Parker argued that the record
taken before Commissioner Shields
showed that neither of the prisoners had
ever been in Washington during the term
mentioned in the Indictment. The specihc
charge is conspiracy. and Judge Parker
said that the defendants could not have
conspired to conduct bucket shop IN
Washington without having been there.
Judge Hough In reply said that con-
spiracy might be entered into by letter:
He said further that the indictment found
in the District of Columbia was prima
facia evidence of a conspiracy In the
case, and the only question in such con-
spiracy is where the venue should be laid.

MILDLY THOMAS PRAISED
COMMENDED FOR HEROISM
ABOARD BLAZING LIGHTER.
Removes Tank of Powder Which
Was in Great Danger of
Being Exploded.

Midshipman Raymond G. Thomas has
been commended by the acting secretary
Of the navy for heroic conduct during
the recent fire on a lighter at the New
York navy yard. The action of the de-
partment was based on report of the
occurrence made by Commander Harry
Phelps of the supply ship Culgoa. Am
munition was being transferred from that
ship to q lighter alongside.
After about 200 charges had been
passed out" says Commander Phelps,
lone charge ignited and set fire to the
lighter and other charges, causing fierce
fame.
Removes Tank Of Powder.
cat the first alarm the men working at
the powder on this ship left the compart-
ment, which. besides the remaining pow
der, contained 1000 gallons of gasoline
Realizing the need of closing the cargo
port door. Midshipman Thomas entered
the compartment to do SO, and found a
tank Of powder lying just inside the car
60 port, which was just alongside the
burning powder on the lighter, and al
ready the wooden strips on 1t were smok-
ing. This tank he seized and removed to
. place Of safety, and, being unable to
close the heavy door because Of the in
tense heat, returned on deck and as
sisted in extingushing the fire. After
opening the tank for examination the
muslin bag was found to be slightly
charred. and I feel sure that 1t would
soon have ignited and caused a fire in the
hold compartment which might have had
very serious results"
Midshipman Thomas is from Iowa, and
entered the navy in July, 1903.
