NOT so BAD
Asylum Employees Will Not
Lose Their EyeSight.

The accident to Irving Sights,
Richard Fay and c. A. Frieburg. the
asylum employees whose eyes were
injured last Monday from the in
tense light from an electrical weld
ing machine they were using, pro-
misses not to develop the serious re-
suits that were feared. So severe
were the burns to the retinas of the
mems eyes that it was feared the
eyesight of all three would be per-
manentIy impaired. and that Mr.
Frieburg would be totally blind.
But now it is assured that none will
be blind, and that the impairment of
sight, if any at all, will be slight.
All of the men are now allowed to
leave their rooms, their eyes protect
ed by heavy smoked glasses, but
even then they are not allowed to
go into a strong light.

Thirty-eight Seek Place Va
Gated by Ross--Merrill
in Charge.

During the three weeks IN which
thirty-eight captains of the Revenue
Cutter Service have Srriven for the
post Of captain commandant, H. c.
Merrill, a civil service employe, has
been in charge of the entire service.
The post was vacated by the retire.
ment of Capt. Worth G. Ross, an
nounced last winter and effective May /.
Despite the fact that the retirement
was announced many weeks before 1t
became effective, the post was not filled,
and still is not filled. for the simple
reason. II is said. that the claims of
the rival captains for it were today de-
clared by an official of the Treasury
Department to be Just about even"
Every one Of the thirty-eight captains,
it Is said, is backed by several Con-
gressmen and a number of mercantile
maritime associations. A number of
the captains have made personal visits
to Secretary MacVeagh, in efforts to
further their candidacy within the past
week, and every one has later declared
himself confident that he would receive
the coveted appointment, which, in ad-
dition to dignity and honor. carries
salary of $500 a year.
Meanwhile, for the first time in years,
Ordinarily, Mr.. Merrill is chief of one

War Department Plans
Test of Balloon Guns

The War Department has got to
the point of seriousness in dealing with
the dirigible balloon and the aeroplane.
1t Is taking steps to protect troops
from airship attacks.
Experiments will be conducted in
July at Sandy Hook for the purpose
of testing balloon guns. That is, types
which are considered valuable for Grip
pling airships will be tested for eff
cheney. Ordnance of three-inch caliber,
specially constructed is used for the
purpose of coping with dirigibles or
aeroplanes. Specially sensitive shells
are employed which will explode on
striking the slightest obstruction.
Other nations have gone much fur
ther than this country in experiments
Of this kind. The Germans have given
much attention to the construction and
trial of types of guns suitable for
bringing down aeroplanes The expert
ments at Sandy Hook will be the first
In this country on an extensive scale,
and they will be watched with the keen
est interest by army men, especially
by ordnance officers and the Signal
Corps.

SPEAKER DOOMED
FOR PRESIDENT BY
MINORITY LEADER
Mann Tells Delta Tau Delta
Men Clark May Hold
Highest Honor.

When Speaker Champ Clark and
Representative James R. Mann, the
minority leader of the House. meet
beneath the purple, white, and gold
banner of the Delta Tau Delta fra
ternity, they, talk politics of the per-
sonal kind They showed 1t by their
remarks at a smoker at which they
were the guests of honor in Rausch-
er's last night.
Once, Mr. Mann went so far as to
hail Brother Clark. who had been tell
ing how he graduated as a Delta Tau
from Bethany, as strong possibility
for President of the United States.
"Delts" stared. There had been talk
among them that Brother Speaker
Clark's Presidential boom should be
hardly expected Brother Minority
Leader Mann to boost in that way.
But Mr.. Mann said it. Then, in a per-
sonal way, he said that there was as
much affection and admiration on the
Republican side as on the Democratic
for Mr.. Clark.
Deplores Suffrage Denial.
Mr.. Clark said similar things about
Mr.. Mann. He praised him as the bust
est man in Washington. Then Mr..
Clark said several other pithy things.
He advised young men to leave Wash
ington so that they could vote and
have a part in politics.
He briefly referred to bills he had
introduced to make the District of
Columbia a territory so that 1t could
have representatives in Congress.
Then ne said that ii made his heart
bleed to see old men hanging by their
eye-lids to some 5000 job, who, out
side Of Washington, ould probably
have made great lawyers or doctors
young auditors to get away from
Washington.
Mr.. Clark said that the House could
hang on in the present session as long
as the Senate. He did not predict, how
ever, the, length of the present session.
He talked what may be called friend
ly politics, and told stories of his
college days as member of the Delta
Tau Delta fraternity.
Mann Booms Clark.
Mr.. Mann, who had led the cheering
for Mr.. Clark. was given a tremendous
ovation when Representative I. S. Pep
per, who was POSTMASTER, asked him
to talk.
You are here tonight to honor the
man who holds the second highest
honor within the geft of the American
from now he may be presented to you
as the man holding the highest office"

WEEKS STOCKS SHOW
PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
Union Pacific improvements
Will Have Good Effect
U. S. STEEL EARNINGS
Chairman Gary of Steel Corporation
Announces Quarterly Earnings
and Union Pacific VIII Spend
$4,000 in Double Track

New York, February 5.-Fresh growth
OF confidence in the promise of a pros
porous outlook for business was reflected
in the renewed uplift of prices and ex-
pansion of activity in the stock market
last week. Two incidents of the week
We're of dominant effect in shaping spec
ulatiye sentiment. the statement of the
programme of improvement of the Union
Pacific and the supplementary announce
ment of Chairman Gary of the United
states Steel corporation with the quar-
terly statement of earnings.
The decision of the Union Pacific man.
agement to proceed with the double track
ing of the system by the expenditure of
$4,000 extending over the next five years
swept In the background most of the
misgivings over railroad conditions which
still remained. This programme and the
expression of confidence by the chair
man of the Union Pacific board pro-
claimed a sense of security for the fu-
ture which is not impaired by the still
undecided question of railroad rate in
creases, the antitrust cases before the
supreme court and the suit for dissolu-
ton of the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific systems
The approach of the time for the de-
eision of these questions threatened to
bring them into force as repressive In
fiuences on financial progress. The Union
Paelhc announcement proved a timely
FACTOR, whether designedly or not, in
counteracting this influence
Restored confidence on the part of the
railroad managementS NAV he traced To
the ready absorption of the new capital
issues. Issues of new securities in jan
uary were $225,000 in the New York money
market, a high record for that month
and the prevailing sentiment of specu-
lation was sgnalized in a resolute way
in the poor showing of the December
quarter of the United States Steel earn
ings which were ignored in favor of the
announced improvement since the first of
the year This statement said that the
daily average of booking of new orders
for the corporation had risen in January
to $1,000 tons, compared with 1000 tons
in November and December. The con-
trollers abstract of national bank returns
as of January was notable for drop
of S191 900 in individual deposits in
eight weeks, with a parallel reduction of
only s4s0o0,O00 in the loans account New
York clearing house banks accounted for
Sl62 100000 of the shrinkage in deposits
and decrease of S147, 100000 in their lex
changes at the clearing house, was held
responsible, due to the fact of the call
coming on Saturday with no stock trans
actions figuring in the statement. Due
allowance must be made, however, for
the New York loans remained largely In
excess Of deposits up to the middle of
January, when the abundant inffew OF
cash to reserves corrected that fall In
the banking position.
