After Dull Day Stocks Leap
to High Level.
CHANGE AT CLOSE IS SUDDEN
Net Gains in Some Stocks Consider
able in Comparison with the Aver
age Run of Such Changes Through
Week-COnditiOns OF Money Dis
play Continuing Ease.

New York, June 1s.-Up 10 the last
fifteen minutes of business on the stock
exchange to-day. nfelessness IN the Sc
curity market was well nigh complete.
Transactions were in trivial volume, and
the entire range OF fluctuations in prices
covered IN few instances more than I
of a full point.
In many stocks there were no trans
actions at all. To this general state
ment one prominent exception was at
forded by the Chesapeake and Ohio
stock, which declined over two points
upon selling that bore every indication
OF being speculative drive, based pre-
-Bumably upon an attempt to draw I'M
favorable deductions from the recent
heaviness OF many Of the so-caIled Haw-
ley shares. Nevertheless, the rest Of the
market seemed entirely apathetio to this
decline, and Chesapeake and Ohio stock
closed with the other prominent issues
at an advance.
Sudden Change Comes.
IN the last quarter OF an hour the
character Of the market underwent a de-
cided change. Transactions became rela-
lively large in most issues and prices
rose rapidly. closing as a rule. not only
at the highest, but at net gains. which
in some stocks were considerable in COM
parison with the average run of such
changes through the week. The pre-
sumption was that all this represented a
recovery OF stocks sold for the decline
due 20 the impression that has obviously
made much Roadway with professional
IN, - n Iau no ha
position of the general stock market is
now a good deal stronger than IL lately
has been. and that daily developments. as
they are coming TO hand. are favorable.
rather than the reverse.
The weekly bank statement exhibited.
as was expected, a heavy gain in cash,
in both the average and actual forms of
the statement. which. although Offset by
an increase in loans. still resulted IN a
material increase in the bank surplus.
CharacteristfcalIy Dull.
The whole tendency Of the stock mar
ket in the present week has been toward
dullness and a quieting down. A new
low record for full days market trans
actions since the summer of 1903 was
made on Friday. Nevertheless, a slight
improvement was visible in financial
sentiment Spectators for the fall dis
covered that actual liquidation of stocks
had ceased, at any rate. temporarily.
Monetary conditions display continuing
ease. Bank reserves are piling up both
here and in England. while bankers are
constantly emphasizing the need of eau
ton on the part of intending borrowers,
because OF a possibility of a financial
strain during the crop moving time in
the fall, yet the precautions that are
here being taken are so universal and
money supplies are accommodating so rap
idly that it seems now entirely probable
that the country will approach its regu-
lar autumnal financial necessities in an
exceedingly well-prepared way.

TAFT Will URGE
BUT. -FOUR FOL! / BILLS
ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM FOR
THIS SESSION HAS BEEN
CUT DOWN.
MEASURES seem SAFE
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS, STATE
HOOD, CONSERVATION AND
ANTI-INJUcTIoN BILLS.

Washington. - The, announcement
from the White House that President
Taft had by his own motion cut down
to four the number of administration
measures he would demand at the
present session of Congress. is re-
ceived by Republican leaders with un-
mixed feelings Of relief. The admin
istration program was SO formidable
that members warmly supporting Taft
policies hardly knew where to begin.
A schedule including only the bills
to amend the interstate commerce
laws to regulate the issuance Of in
functions, to start Arizona and New
Mexico on the road to statehood. and
to validate the Withdrawals Of public
lands for conservation purposes, is re-
garded as quite possible for attain
ment. Most Of these measures. it is
believed. can be put through the Sen
ate while the House is wrestling with
appropriation bills.
When 1t was reported at the capitol
Sunday that the President would be
satisfied with the enactment OF the
four measures named. steps were
taken to bring all these matters out OF
committee at the earliest possible
date. The postal savings bank bill
already is before the Senate and an
agreement between the supporters Of
conflicting amendments is assured. 1t
is regarded rs practically certain that
the bill can be passed during the com.
ing week.
The one conservation bill that Pres
ident Taft Is determined shall be
passed is that which gives to the Pres
ident unrestricted power to withdraw
public lands from settlement and place
them in reserves. In the meantime
an effort will be made by special
committee OF western senators to per-
feet other conservation measures so
that they will be ready for considera-
ton at the next session.

washington.-The case for the pros

When the committee adjourned Satur-

that there was some corroborative evi.

corroborate that portion Of CLAWS tes-
timony in which he told Of seeking the
advice Of Mr.. Hoyt. in Washington. In
May, 1909. after First Assistant Secrc.
tary OF the Interior Pierce had rem
dered an opinion which CLAWS thought
would permit the Cunningham claims
in Alaska to patent
The remainder OF the day was ia
ken up with the Introduction OF docu'
mentary evidence by Mr.. Brandeis.
These consisted largely Of references
in the agents reports to conversations
or interviews with Mr.. Ballinger as
commissioner Of the land office, on the
subject Of the Alaska claims. This
was done. the attorney said. to show
that Mr.. Ballinger had been activel,
interested in these cases before he left
the land office. and acted rs attorney
for some OF the claimants.
He also read from a statement by
u. H. Schwartz. chief Of the field ser
vice, that 1t was at lr. Ballingers
direction, in January, 1908, that the
Cunningham claims were ordered to be
clear-listed for patent. This order was
withdrawn after CLAWS had been mott
fled and had protested.

ACTION BROUGHT TO DUST COLO.
RADIO STATE FOOD CON-
MISSIONER.
IS CALLED AN USURPER
COMPLAINT ALLEGES THERE is
NO PROVISION IN LAW FOR
SUCH AN OFFICER.

Denver-That Wilbur F. Cannon,
state food commissioner, is an usurper
in office; that he was never elected
to the position, and that he is holding
on in the capacity Illegally, are among
the allegations made by DR.. Paul S.
Hunter in an action begun in the Dis
trict Court directed against Ready
kenehan as auditor of state, to re-
strain that official from issuing any
voucher or proceeding in any other
manner to authorize payment to Can
non for her services. DIR. Hunter brings
the suit in the name of the people Of
the state Of Colorado and for himself
personally.
This Is the third attempt made to
oust Cannon from office. The state
board OF medical examiners were first
appealed to to remove Cannon. The
board declined to take any action.
Governor Shafroth was next requested
to proceed In the matter and he re-
fused to do SO. The suit is the new
est procedure, and 1t is believed by
those back OF the action that the
stoppage OF his salary will result in
Cannon relinquishing the office.
The papers filed in the case set
forth that the state board OF health has
an executive committee from among
its members. which committee appoint
ed Cannon. The latter was not a mem.
ber Of the board nor OF the executive
committee when the appointment was
made. it is alleged. 1t Is asserted that
there Is no provision for the appoint
ment OF a commissioner OF the food
department" II is further asserted
that by virtue OF this appointment.
Cannon has been acting unlawfully as
such commissioner and drawing n sal
ary and allowed certain personal ex.
peuses, allof which are said tobe illegal.
That Cannon has no right to the title
Of pure food commissioner. or pure
food Inspector. is also alleged.
The complaint further alleges that
Cannon has sent in his bills for sala.
ries and expenses and that the same
have been honored by Auditor Kene-
han rs they have been presented. In
this connection 1t is averred that Can
non has drawn S2.2S3.32 as salary and
1910 as expenses.
