NEW YORK, April 12.-It was just
about the same kind of a stock market
as yesterdays, save that 1t was just
little slower, lacking several thousand
shares in the total sales of the morning.
and there was not even the disposition
to make a play for lower figures that
was displayed on Tuesday. The Street
Is through and through disg listed. The
governing committee Of the exchange
will not give notice until late this aft
ernoon as to the adjournment over FRI
day and Saturday. Traders understand
that there is also the possibility Of an
adjournment tomorrow, and then no
opportunity to make trades between the
close today and Monday. when the
much-desired but greatly dreaded de-
cisions may come down. Consensus of
opinion as to the probable character of
the decisions is for moderately unfavor-
able, with the hope that the long delay
means that the justices are trying to
find way out of the dilemma, so as to
make the effect on business as light as
possible.
Most Of the transactions showing on
the tape today were of small lots. A
feature is the fact that stocks are
strongly held and are going into strong
hands, and the depression in trade Is
making money very easy so that there
is no trouble in providing funds to
carry them. Bankers report that sales

GAS STOCK HIGHER

Sales Up to 82-Lower
Prices on Potomac Con-
solidated SIS.

Washington Gas passed the old high
price and made another new high price
today, selling to 81 and holding the ad-
vance very firmly. 1t opened at sly.
In the resolutions passed for the pay
ment Of the dividend at the special
meeting the Street found a Joker III
the payment Of dividend. II earned" :"
The declaration OF a quarterly dividend,
this quarterly dividend" at this time
seemed to quiet the Joker" 1t is bare
ly possible that the Gas Company would
pay the $3.50 a year dividend if 1t was
not earned. but it would give the stock
black eye.
The other feature Of the days trading
was the break to 9a1s on Potomac Con-
solidated IS. They are said to be high
grade bonds. but the first SIS are ahead
OF them and the last block issued was
entirely too large for the absorptive
powers Of the market.
Washington and Virginia railway re-
turned to prominence on the list, the
common advancing to 80 and the pre-
ferred to 67h. and close at IS. The
common was very strong, and at a new
high record. A little Capital Traction
sold at Sl11IS2. In the bank shares
United States Trust was the only bank
that figured, few shares selling at 119.
The, sale Of the National City Bank
to the Commercial National was con-
suH1ated, as. outlined in The Times last
Saturday. a bonus of so a share is to

of five shares of Commercial National
stock for six shares Of National City
stock.
The roster of the Commercial Nation
al remains intact with the probability
that few of the National City direc-
tors will be chosen directors, after the
ratification of the sale and purchase
by the share holders of the contracting
banks.
II is fortunate that the employees OF
the National City are to be placed with
the Commercial National.

DR.. Steinmetz Addresses
Meeting of Engineers

DIR. Charles P. Steinmetz. consulting
engineer of the General Electric Com
pany. a past president of the American
Institute of Engineers, was the princi-
pal speaker at the monthly meeting Of
the Washington section, held last night
at the Cosmos Club hall.
His subject was THE Present Limits
of Long Distance Transmission"
The speaker discussed the subject
very thoroughly, describing In detail
the various steps in the development
electric power transmission. from the
earliest period when only direct cur
rent at low voltage was used and the
transmission of the same necessarily
limited, to the present time when al
ternating current at very high voltages
is economically transmitted a distance
of 200 miles and more.
The address was listened to by a
large and attentive audience, and after
the speaker had finished remarks were
made by Prof. F. II. Newell, director
of the Reclamation Service, Prof. Ed
ward B. Rosa of the National Bureau
of Standards, and Gen. George II.

slump of Tuesday. are followed. by a
better demand for the stocks in the
loan crowd. Yesterday Union Pacific
loaned for per cent, the first time
In months. The inference is that the
sales were not SO much the unloading
as the shortening Of the market. The
short line outstanding in United States
Steel Is also easily reflected by the de-
mand in the loan crowd for the stock
for deliveries. Rail orders are coming In
freely. Among recent orders there are
enough to aggregate 1880 tons to the
United States Steel Corporation. These
orders and the business for March
make the probability that the two
months will prove exceptionally good
ones for the corporation.
The United States Steel Corporation
has completed and placed In operation
its new coke ovens at Gary at cost OF
s., 500, 900, and will give employment to $50
more men.
On the unfavorable side Of the news
Of the day Is the statement that 500 men
have been laid off by the Pennsylvania
and the Southern Pacific 600, or 20 per
cent of the force. The order came as a
SURPRISE as the force was rushing FRUIT

SAYS CLERKS ACTIVE

BEING DISCHARGED
Pleas for Assistance Made to
Secretary of Federation
of Labor.

Reports to the effect that the Post
office Department is discharging men
who are taking an active part in or
ganizing the railway mail clerks are
being received from men in the service
by the American Federation of Labor
Take us out from under the claws of
these vampires" is the plea for assist
ance made by one clerk in a letter to
Secretary Frank Morrison, of the fed
GRAFTON. He asks that every effort bo
exerted to secure for the clerks the
right to organize and to etition their
representatives In Congress.
After stating that many clerks who
show friendliness toward organiza-
ton are being relieved from the service
daily without being given any reason
for their removal, Mr.. Morrison's in
formant says that II Is as much as
PERSONS job is worth to let a district
superintendent know he Is in favor of
organizing. He cites several instances
to prove his claim, calling attention to
one where an exceptionally efficient
clerk was relieved because he took sub
scrlptions for paper that is opposing
the present Postofhce administration
He was was charged with conspiracy
against the Government.
The claim Is madekthat the National
Mail Clerks Association is completely
controlled by the PostOffice Department
and that anyone showing a hostility to-
ward present conditions is eliminated
as a delegate to the convention, which
is soon to be held in ChIcago.

Blames Socialists


The Madero revolutionists in Mexico
in every possible way to cause the re-
lease Of the prisoners.
DIR. Gomez, head of the revolutionary
party in Washington, said today that
the captors of the women and children at
Alamo are American Socialists who have
formed a colony in Lower Mexico, and
that they have absolutely no standing
among members of the Maderists who
are fighting the Diaz federal govern
ment.
The uprising in Alamo, and. in fact,
throughout all Lower California" said
DR.. Gomez today, has not the sanction
of the Maderist revolutionists. 1t has
been financed and carried on entirely by
a colony of American socialists, who
have been trying for some time to throw
off the Diaz yoke Of government in that
state. They have not become affiliated
with the revolutionists BECAUSE their
cause is not the cause of all the Mexi-
can people who are desirous of a bet
ter government. What the revolu
tionists want is merely a representa-
tive government, free from political
graft and oppression. What the So
cialists OF Lower California want even
they themselves do not know.
To Aid In Punishment.
Realizing that it hurts our cause
for these socialists to commit such acts
Of violence as they are now charged
with and then call themselves members
Of the revolutionist party. the real rev.
olutionists. will aid in every way to
have them punished
The State Department today ordered
its agents on the Mexican border near
Douglas, Ariz.. to investigate the re-
ported theft of several saddle horses
from Lee Hudspeth. citizen of the
United States resident in Mexico. Hud-
speth informed the department that a
band of marauders had taken his horses.
He gave no other details in his telegram
which was sent from Douglas.
