There was heavy liquidation in the New York market today and prices sold off sharply, closing at the low price of the day. With the possible exception of the Steel stocks and one or two others the entire list was off from one to three points and it looks like lower prices tomorrow.
 The Copper Producers report was a disappointment and as a result there was heavy selling of copper stocks. All the Boston stocks sold off. Amalgama, ted stold to 7S.75. All Cole-Ryan stocks were weak. Arizona Commercial sold to 35.25 and Old Dominion to A. Lake stocks all sold lower.
 In the curbs there was little change San Antonio was the feature, advanc' ing from S.75 to 1925 with light of ferings at that. Live Oak sold to 21 Superior & Boston shows better demand and should sell higher. Hancock was under pressure, selling to 25.50, as was Indiana, which sold to 40. The bal ance of the list was unchanged.

DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, 4narch 11.-Dun 's Weekly Review will say: Nearly ev- cry report from the large trade centers records transactions well above last year and bright outlook for the new season. Financial conditions are also much stronger and altogether better sentiment prevails
 The improvement, however, is in spite of considerable uneasiness on ac- count of the strike in Philadelphia. The reappearance of railroads as active purchasers of rolling and other needed equipment is an important development in iron and steel, while evidences that construction work will be pushed with vigor have given the situation as a whole decidedly improved aspect.
 Electrolytic copper has risen to a price of 131ac. In lines other than cot ton goods jobbers are doing a fair trade, but re-ordering in primary mar kets is of conservative character The trade in boots and shoes is snght- ly better in all markets. Increased activity is noted in the packer hide market, but holders in order to interest tanners are compelled to name lower prices than have ruled since the decline that followed the panic in 1907.

EX-GOVERNOR PAYS
 VISIT ID GLOBE
Kibbey and Sims Ely Will Transact Legal Busi-
 ness in City

Another visitor prominent in public life was added to the local colony last night, when former Governor Joseph II. Kibbey arrived in this city, accompanied by Sims Ely, formerly his secretary and now prominently con nected with the Phoenix Republican.
 MT. Kibbey visited this city several months ago, on legal business, and his present visit is for a similar purpose. It is rumOred that he is interested in the proposed irrigation project at Flor ence, but whether or not his visit to Globe at the present time has any con nection with this project could not be ascertained last night.
 With republican affairs in Globe in more or less of a tangle at the present time, as the result of a factiOnal fight of varying estimated proportions among members of the Gila county or ganization, it is more than likely that MT. Kibbey will carry on little mis- siOnary work while in this city. MT. Ely will also find time to take hand in this work, in all probability.
 MT. Kibbey and MT. Ely will spend the day in this city and will probably return to Phoenix tomorrow morning, although their plans may be altered and a more extensive visit made.

PLATED ON VICTORY OVER
 HUGHES
Further Prosecution of Sen ator Aids Becomes More
 and More an Issue

ALBANY, N. Y, March 11.-Senator Newcomb gave notice today that he is preparing to get action on a resolution providing for unlimited investigation of the legislative corruption with the declaration that is regarded as the first significant result of the victory of the republican organization in the senate leadership fight.
 A vote on the question of sustaining Conger's bribery charges, against Aids, is expected to furnish the next clash of the two elements into which the elc- tion of Senator Cobb, as president pro tenn, has split the republican party in the senate. But if Newcomb moves next week to take up the resolution, lineup may come before the Aids in- vestigation is over and Cobb elected de- spite the opposition of Hughes and Sen ator Root.
 Public opinion seems to have associa- ted the opposition to the leadership of Root and Hughes with an intention to shut off further attempts to air the leg islative scandals in sympathy for Aids. Hinman has been outspoken against Aids during his debates over the ad- mission of certain testimony.
 These circumstances lead to the con clusion that Hughes and the "Elder Statesman of the party at Washing ton had agreed on wider legislative memory and are ready to issue orders against any disposition to shelter Adds.
 The declaration of Senators Brack- cit and Davenport that Cobb's victody had only postponed the issue re not de- nied by the victorious organization men, it is is declared however that the prestige of defeating the combined forces of the governor and the national administration would carry them victor ious through the next fight, whatever it

After Daughter Abducted, She Squeals on Organ
 ized Robbers
HAD TERRORIZED
 TOWN OF LOWELL
Charge of Abduction Will Be Preferred in Bis
 bee Courts

BISBEE, Ariz., March 11.-In the
 capture at Fairbanks Monday of three
 Mexicans, one of them a woman, the
 backbonel of gang of robbers who have been terrorizing Lowell for sev-
 eral months is thought to have been broken.
 The gang has been headed by the Hernandez family, and they have made
 bushes of wholesale petty thievery,
 robbing of change rooms at the differ
 ent shafts and lootino houses on Naco i.road. There was never any great
 amount of stuff taken, except in one
 case on Naco road, when considerable
 jewelry was stolen from an old couple living near the beer garden.
 Those captured at Fairbanks were
 Thomas Allen, Jose Camielo and Gregora Hernandez. Another member of the crowd was taken at Tombstone, Victoria Doe being the only name she will give the officers. The three taken
 at Fairbanks were brought over yes, terday by Deputy Sheriff Frank Bauer and arraigned before Justice Murphy.
 Their hearings will be held Friday and
 Saturday.
 The charge upon which they are held, however, is the abduction of a girl, 15 years old, by the name of Hernandez. The mother of the child knew of the al legged robberies and for time was Gin with the gang" so to speak, but when disclosures were made by the of ficers a few weeks ago and the others of the crowd deemed it wise to leave
 town, they took the gIrl with them. i That made the mother mad She went to Justice Murphy and made a clean
 breast of the whole robbery proposition,
 so that before the prisoners are
 through they are liable to have half a dozen charges hanging over them. This
 time, however, they are being tried for abducting the girl The robbery cases will come up later.
 When arrested, the trio was searched at Fairbanks, quantity of stolen jew elry was found on them and identihed as belonging to parties on NacO road. Articles they had taken from the
 change rooms at the Hoatson and June
 tion shafts, broken into a month or two
 ago, were also found. Justice Murphy has the whole business as evidence. Victoria Doe wl.l be brought over | today from Tombstone and arraigned
 for complicity in the abduction. The
 girl came back with the deputy sheriff yesterday morning, being with the par 1 ty at Fairbanks when apprehended. There is pretty strong evidence
 against the parties under arrest on both charges, abuuctlon and roDDery. Two
 others of the same crowd, caught some | time ago with stolen jewelry on them,
 are now serving time in Tombstone for
 their part in the affair.

OFFICERS CLEANING
 UP MIAMI
Vagrants Being Taken in and Plans Are Made for
 Thorough Campaign

Miami is experiencing the first moral cleanup in its history.
 For some time, since the women of the half world were driven from the old redlight district in this city, it is said, Miami has been infested with too large number of moral perverts who live from the earnings of fallen women. Within the past few days the county authorities have taken eOgniz- ance of this condition of affairs, and when they finish the cleanup now un- der way, it is expected that Miami will be pretty thoroughly cleansed of the element at which the attack is directed.
 It was reported yesterday that some thing like a dozen men had already been arrested on vagrancy charges. Sheriff Henry Thompson and several deputies were in Miami last night, for the purpose, it is understood, of carry ing the moral cleanup to completion, and more arrests are expected to fol low.
