WHATS The MATTER
With ROCK ISLAND?

After Making Sensational Rise
and Fall In New York
aFew Days Ago.
FRICTION ON THE INSIDE
There is a Rumor That Daniel G.

from the steel Trust
Board Of Directors.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Reports OF
friction among leading interests Of
the Rock Island Railroad company, a
rumor tnat Daniel G. Reid, was to go
abroad and that he would retire from
the board of directors of the United
States Steel corporation caused
break of IA points in common stock
Of the road yesterday and decline Of
more than points in preferred stock.
The financial district had heard
much about the Rock Island since it's
sensational movement fortnight ago.
when it jumped from so to 81 and
back, and the matter is now the sub
ject Of an investigation by the stock
exchange. Rumor had it that serious
differences had broken out among
those who control the property. and
an open breach is limited at. These
were denied, but the enormous volume
Of Rock Island traded in-230,000
shares at steadily decreasing values
caused misgivings, since much OF the
selling seemed to emanate from Rock
/ Island brokers. Another factor was
the failure of the directors to act on
/ preferred stock dividends at their
meeting Tuesday.

LIFE ON MARS
Prof. Pickering Says That the Canals
There Are Merely Optical
Illusions.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 6.-Pro-
fessor Pickering, of Harvard, takes ex-
ception to the statements made by DR..
Lowell, astronomer, that there exist on
Mars canals or a system of passages
made by nature or by human work
manship.
81 don't believe Lowell has made
any new discovery of the growth OF
canals on Mars said Pickering Low
ell undoubtedly has observed the same
ones / have. The idea that new canals
are being dug on Mars all the time is
absurd
"The resemblance to canals as seen
through the glass is an illusion caused
by highly colored vegetation which
abounds on the planet. l cannot sup
port tho statement that there are hui
man beings on Mars, nor can believe
there are actual canals there"

ICE GORGE HOLDS
AND RIVER RISES
ST. Louis Ice pack Threatens to do
Damage When it Finally
Lets Go.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 6.The big ice
gorge did not break yesterday, follow
ing the rain and sleet storm, but II
the weather should turn mild it may
60 out any day The Ice from the
gorge north Of Quincy, H., was still
passing down the river yesterday. The
gorge still remains intact at Crystal
City. Mo-. and another one near the
mouth OF the Missouri river is said
to be forming. The river rose about
half a foot in the last forty-eight
hours, which proves the gorges below
here are substantial.
The greatest danger at present
lies in the possibility of the lower
gorge breaking. which would immed-
lately allow the back-up water to flow
down the channel, causing the boats
and wharfboats in the local harbor to
be stranded. On the other hand, il
the gorges above break before the
lower ones go out, the boats in the
harbor here may be damaged by the
ice.

Said to Have Bitten Of

FLUNKED MANY POINTS

NEW YORK, JAN Crop brokers
are beginning to believe that the big

crop market completely cornered, has
bitten off more than it can chew and
the general opinion today is that the
movement toward lower levels can
hardly be checked. When the market
opened today there was a food of buy
Ing orders and the entire list flunked
off from IA to AZ points.
One of the reasons for the drop is
given as the shutting down Of the
mills because of the high prices. The
shutdown is said to have alarmed the
bulls and they are letting the best OF
the staple go to put the price at such
a figure that the bears will continue
