TAFT IS PLEASED At

President Hopes for the
Best on His Railroad
Bill.
CRy Associated PressJ

ST. LOUIS, MO. May i.-President
Taft was deeply gratitied at the news
from Washington today that forty
three Republican senators had agreed
to stand together on the administra-
ton railroad bill as amended by the
dropping of the so-called pooling
and merger" paragraphs. He re-
trained. however, from commenting
upon the situation, except to say
tina; he hoped the combination in the
senate would pull the bill through in
good shape.
The question of a possible veto OF
the measure. II IL comes out OF con
tress in further emasculated form.
was preached to the President. but he
declined To discuss that phase of the
matter. If the bill, as finally passed
contained an element of good. or
what can be called n step forword. ir
clinching the Roosevelt policies,
President Taft will sign ii.
On the other hand. II the bill Is
loaded in the house with lot OF
provisions which will seem to ham
string" or hamper the railroads in car
rying on a lawful business. it is more
than probable that Mr.. TAFT will exer-
else the power of veto. II he signs a
bill which gives him a part of what
he has asked for. he will likely issue
statement placing the blame where
he thinks it belongs for the failure 70
get more.
II he vetoes the bill because OF radi
d, al additions. which he may deem un.
s..af -. Will
statement even stronger.
After a careful study of the situa
ton in Washington. the President
may decide to discuss the status OF
the railroad legislation in the speech
he is scheduled TO make before the

next Monday evening. Al least tina

Stock Spectators are Susplc-
ious of Apparent Strength.
DEVELOPMENT MP0R AN |
Resumption Of Foreign Demand for
Bond Issues is Considered as Lead
ing Factor in Adding New Life to
Market.



NEW YORK, May 1.-The profes-
sional trading element In the STOCK
market was inclined to look with sus'
picion on the manifestation OF
strength today, owing TO the persis-
tence with which liquidation had
pressed on some advances lately, es-
pecially yesterday. Nevertheless. the
days developments were important IN
the direction of real relief from some
of the factors that have borne mos
heavily on the financial situation OF
late.
Foremost place in these develop
ments is taken by the resumption OF
foreign demand for bond issues. Cor
roborative indications were sufficient
to warrant the assumption that large
transactions wer being contaminated
i'm the internal markets. The most
clearly defined reDorts n"inted 10

Chicago and st. Louis bonds and in
yaguer terms, other railroad bond 49,
sues. Estimates of the amount OF
these sales ran from S5O,00O.OOO TO up
wards of 100000 900. The break in
the foreign exchange market, which
had thrown that division into a con
dition of decentralization. offered the
confederation of these rumOrs.
The re-opening of these sources OF
supply for American capital require
ments constitutes a relief of great i'm
lortance for the condition in the
American market. The new turn I'M
the bond market obscured the topics
which have been wearing on stocks.
Reports of further curtailment of iron
production We're received and uneasi
ness over the copper trade situation
was unabated. There is anxiety over

THE UNFORTUNATE CASE OF

Yoder was in the police court yester-
day, before Justice Crutchfield, who
himself has been the target of some
of the pamphleteer's shafts. He was
found guilty, fined 500, sentenced to
serve thirty days in jail and required
to give a bond OF $500 Ito keep the
peace toward all citizens OF this
commonwealth" According to one OF
the Richmond papers. literally trans

pension of The idea.
Reformers of Yoder's type are not
desirable in any city, and the young
nan ought TO have learned before
this that official Rich

stand for him. Representing and
guided by nobody but himself. this
immature youth set out to reform the
capital city and compel the officers
of the municipal government to per
form their duties in accordance with
his notions as set forth in The Idea.
These notions, at best, were but the
product of an inexperienced brain.

belief in its own importance. No
doubt Yoder has advocated some
healthful changes in the situation at
the capital. but by confusing his
sound ideas with absurd ones and at
lacking upright officials along with
the corrupt. he has accomplished no
good for the public and has landed
himself into the middle of sea of
trouble That is the logical finish of

rankness of his muck -rsking" to
create a demand for his output.
However. in spite Of all this. and
without having read the article for
the publication OF which Ioder was

that no jury ever win sustain Justice
Crutchheid's sentence in this case
The article is said to have been a

The Douglas Fire Department

A short time ago the News was led to make the statement that as far as or. ganized fire fighting was concerned, Douglas was not in the country. The News was too nasty. A visit to No. 3 cart house reveals an entirely different state of affairs existing there. Every. thing about the place shows that method aud organization prevail. The hose calt. ladders and buckets are all in perfect order, ready for instant use. More than a score of active members are enrolled and regular meetings are we'll attended. Gus Gruudler is preei- dent and Henry BTie secretary of the organization, with Leo DeMytt foreman of the hose team. At their own eX- pense the mem bers of the company have built locfers for the care of sup plies and uniforms. The company is composed oE residents and property owners living along St. Ann avenue, who realIze the necessity of protection from fire and tue value of careful or gauizatiou. During the months when the Treadwell water is on the pipe run hing along the avenue, No. 3 has the strongest pressu ure m the city to handle. The houses in the district under the protection of this company are mostly small but close together, yet iu the az gregate represent considerable value. If other parts of the city will take the No. 3 hose company for all example, Douglas will no longer need complain of its fire department.
