Tom Johnson of Cleveland is dead
but the election of delegates to the
Ohio constitutional convention has
demonstrated that his soul goes
marching on. The adoption of the mi

make these measures a national issue
and most probably the paramount
question in the presidential campaign
next year. Then will come the divid-

A SANDWICH CAMPAIGN
Ladies' of Bryan Will Serve Cadets
with Tidbits, Such as Mother
Makes at Home.

AS was briefly announced in Satur
days issue, the secretary of the Com
mercial Club visited A. & NJ. College
early Saturday and rendered to Presi
dent Miner the assistance of the peo-
pie of Bryan in any way, in the emer.
gency caused by the fire. 1t was sug,
gested that bread baking will be the
most serious matter to overcome for
a few days. Bakers bread must be re-
sorted to. 1t was suggested for the
dinner Tuesday, after the return from
the football game at Houston, that
homemade biscuits would be greatly
appreciated by the cadets 1t was esti-
mated that it would require 1000 bis,
cults, and these were promised.
The secretary upon his return to the
city, in company with General Stod,
dard, conferred with some of the la
dies and it was decided to ask Mrs.
VI. w. Sims to take charge of all the
!
mittee. After she had conferred with
a large number of ladies ii was the
unanimous opinion that the biscuits
should be made into sandwiches, and
lit was so agreed. The following COM
mittees were appointed in each of the
city churches to carry out the plans, il
being thought that as the time was so
short it was advisable Lave the
plans and the committees announced
from the pulpits Of the churches yes

After Slashing, Rev. M. C.

West Virginia Town.

HUNTINGTON. w. Va, April %
The Rev. M. c. Johnson. pastor Of the
First Methodist Church, South, at Bar
louisville, W. Va, near HUI tngton, is
under arrest in that city, charged with
stabbing E E. Adkins, a wealthy brick
manufacturer of that place. Mr.. Adkins
Is mortally hurt.
Mr.. Adkins and Mr.. johnson were
both directors in a big brick plant at
Barboursville. Whether they were quar-
reling about the affairs of that company
or whether the fight was purely per-
sonal, the police have as yet been uu-
able to determine. They were seen upon
the street talking. Later their talk grew
louder, and finally they exchanged San
ters, Mr.. Adkins resenting Mr.. John
sons sallies.
The brick manufacturer felled the
minister with his fists. 1t Is said by
friends Of Mr.. Adkins that when the
pastor arose to his feet he had a knife
In his hand. One stroke made a fearful

another almost severed the jugular

| From the Wall Street point Of view
the news development Of the week, aside
from the Missouri Pacific incident, were
devoid OF influence. At one time there
was disposition to regard the dis.
turbsd Mexican situation as an unset
Ting factor, In consequence of a widely
circulated report Of impending interven-
| ton by this country 10 prevent the loss
| OF American lives at points along the
border where fighting is in progress.
| Ihe situation is admittedly delicate, and
some extracts from the Mexican note
nave not been Of a wholly conciliatery
nature, but the prospect of the promised
armistice seems to be improving. II is
clear that President Taft is using every
enort to avoid complications. and there
seems to be no fear that partisan poIi-
tics will be permitted to aggravate the
situation.
according to the recognized trade au-
tnorlties practically no change has
Iahen place In general business, which
moves moves slowly In all the larger indus
production Is declining both in pig out
put and In finished material and the
street was filled with a wide variety Of
rumors and reports OF price reductions
IN ore. price cutting In some varieties of
finished products, and Of the curtailment
OF working forces. The rumors came
out in such number on Friday that
Judge Gary, OF the Steel trust, resorted
10 the novel expedient of grouping them
IN bulletin and then denying them en-
bloc. II was officially stated in this
oulletin tnat the plant Of the chief pro-
ducer Of finished steel was operating at
fully 20 per cent OF its capacity,
The Inclusion OF steel wire among the
articles included in the farmers free
list bill has unquestionably given the
steel manufacturers some little concern,
but that measure Is not a law as yet,
Street will pay more attention to the
proposed tariff changes when that
measure Is taken UP. the market is bor-
rowing no trouble about the matter
so encouraging that the majority of
observers feel disposed to view the
present lull in business activity, which
seems even more pronounced than of
late, as a temporary affalr-the natural
result of restraining iniuences-but a
matter that must pass away with the
adjournment Of Congress, II crops turn
out we'll.
Money rules easy, and that is the
great sustaining force. and cheap money
is resulting in a very good bond mar
ket even at the present time. Prac-
ucaliy no change was noted in money
rates during the week. The bank state
ment Of the day reflected large in

surplus reserve today stands S36, 90, 200
above legal requirements. and for the
banks this really constitutes an embar-
rassment Of riches, for supplies are in
excess OF demand. and rates are too low

MISSOURI PACIFIC. INCIDENT PROVES
TO BE REAL SENSATION OF THE WEEK
George Gould Goes Back Agreement New Financial AanceWn
Street Eted Enlarged If 1t Was Attended by LossesDe
cisons Hoped for Tomorrow.
JOHN GRANT DATER,


arose from the fact that as they would
become sponsors for upward OF $50. .000, :
bilitation Of the Missouri Pacific system,
new executive should Be free from the
Dominating influence Of the old adminis..
| tration, under which the system had
! fallen behind its competitors.
The Missouri Pacific incident fur
nisked Wall Street with a new topic
OF conversation. and this was bless
ed relief from the dull monotony Of
discussing the long deferred Supreme
threadbare. Unfortunately the nev-
| city did not continue for long for.
with the election of strong banking
interests to the Missouri Pacific board
Street was driven to q consideration
Of its old topics, namely. the harmful
influence OF tariff legislation on gen.
eral business. and the antitrust
cases. In the closing days Of the week
this latter assumed full sway Of the
market again. for widespread rumor
over the Street on Friday, that the
court decision would surely come on
Monday. upon which there was q nat
ural contraction in business. and
tion: made its presence felt in the
market.
Expecting the Decisions.
Just what will happen If the Su-
preme Court should hand down It's de-
cision tomorrow Is an interesting
matter for conjecture. One outside
Wall Street would naturally infer
that II would make some difference
were favorable or otherwise to the
companies. but actually. the specula-
tive rank and file does not seem to be
giving any particular consideration
to that point. The financial district
has gotten into way OF thinking
that the whole future of finance and
trade, money, business, the market
and everything else is hanging upon
the cases before the court. We can
expect nothing until the trust cases
are out OF the way" is a stereotyped
phrase. with which each man prefaces
or concludes his comments upon the
markets.
You rarely hear a broker today. as
was the case last autumn, discuss the
companies or the Government will
win. Practically nine out of every
ten men think that the outcome will
be against the companies, but never
theless. they are all expecting that
things will improve. business revive.
and the market became active. when
the decisions are out of the way.
Whether this will prove the case or
not, ii Is impossible to say. but on oc-
casions. the psychology of the market
is such that men who think one
way and act that way create them
selves the very condition that they
have been expecting. Neither the
stock market or general industry
can give the best results while un-
certainty prevails, and from that point
of view the Street is probably right
in it's conclusions that things must
improve when & condition Of certainty
supplants one of uncertainty which
has paralyzed the markets for months.
