New York, Aug. 12.-There was just
one thing that Admiral Togo did not
see during his tour of inspection of every
nook and Granny of the reservation at
West Point to-day. and that was the
spectacle of seventeen cadets yoked like
horses to ropes at the end of a 1.5Oo-
pound siege gun, and with many sighs
dragging it on its everyday journey
from the artillery barracks to Highland
Falls, one mile away and back again.
Had the prim little admiral, with his
hand on the hilt of his prim little sword
happened to come around the corner of
the artillery barracks some time not
long after o'clock and seen this un-
usual exercise, and had he asked ques-
ton he would probably have been told
that these seventeen young men in ropes
at the tongue of the heavy gun were
simply amusing themselves at sport
which they themselves elected few
days ago.

The stock market rallied fitfully on
Monday. but has lostsground on every
day since, as on every day except Mon
day since the month began. In the
railroad shares the decline this week
has been about 81 a share, and since
the beginning of the month more than
IS a share.
News of the week was mixed in
character. From the copper and steel
trades reports were good. The month
ly statement of the Copper Producers
Association showed a decrease of 49,
100000 pounds in stocks of the metal in
this country and Capada. The monthly
statement of untitled orders on the
books of the United States Steel Cor
poration showed an increase of $4,000
tons, and a greater total than at any
previous time since the end of July last
year.
In contrast with these agreeable sta
tistics there was given out Il crop re-
port that made unpleasant reading. 1t
showed extreme deterioration in all the
grains. and indicated a total yield of
wheat, corn, oats, and rye less than
last years total by more than 100000
900 bushels.
The weekly trade reviews reported a
moderate improvement with the gain
most notable in business from the

Then. also. there was steady, persist

in the big breaks of March II and

liquidation then was dissatisfaction

WOMAN ASKS TAFT'S AID -
TO GAIN SIGNAL HONOR
DR.. Emma Reba Moseley Bailey, Female Practitioner
Before Supreme Court, Seeks Recognition as
Representative Woman of the South"

Seeking recognition as a representa-
tive woman of the South" DR.. Emma
Reba Moseley Bailey, clerk in the public
lands division of the General Land
Office, the first woman in the world to
be granted the degree of Doctor of Civil
Law. and the only Southern woman ever
admitted to the United States Supreme
Court bar, has been granted an appoint
ment with President Taft this week She
will be accompanied by a delegation of
Congressman from her home State,
Georgia.
Because of her ability as lawyer and
scholar, DR.. Bailey will ask President
Taft to officially recognize her as a rep
resentative woman of the South, which
distinction, If made, would be accom-
panied by a promotion in work and
salary. Mrs. Bailey is an enthusiastic
suffragist, and while before the Presi-
dent will ask him to use his influence
in having legislation passed which will
protect the rights of all citizens of the
United States. She believes that women
already have d constitutional right to
the ballot, and asks only that they be
protected in exercising the right.
DR.. Bailey was born at Rome, Ga. She
received the degree of LII. B. and Ii.
NJ. from the Washington College of Law,
The Washington herald., 1911-08-13

and the degrees of LII. M. and D. c. L.
from the old Columbian College, now
George Washington University. Mrs.
Bailey is also due the degree of master
of diplomacy, but. as the honor has
never been bestowed upon a woman, the
university refuses at present to grant It..
But DR.. Bailey will fight, she says, until
she gets 1t. The lawyer is very perse-
verinS. and says many persons declare
that she is suffering from a serious case
of exaggerated ego, hut DR.. Bailey laugh
ingly replies that the only way to get
what you want is to ask for 1t. She is
a member of the District Court of Ap-
peals bar, and hopes soon to be admitted
to the bar of Georgia.
AT present women are barred from the
practice of law in that State, but bill
Is now before the legislature to allow
women to take the bar examinations DR..
Bailey is leading this fight. She has been
in communication with the speaker of
the house, ]. y. Holden, who says that
the measure has been reported favorably.
If the bill fails TO pass, DR.. Bailey will
have special bill framed, admitting her
to the practice of law In the State, because
OF the honor she has brought upon the
State by being the only woman in the
South permitted to plead before the Su-
preme Court of the country.

New York, Aug. 12-There was no
change in the character of the stock
market to-day. Silent selling continued
and the only difference was that the
downward pace was more rapid and that
the market in the first hour became more
badly demoralized than at any other
time since the decline began.
The action of Union Pacific was the
most demoralizing single incident. this
stock opening a point below yesterday 8
close, and in the course of extraordi-
narily heavy selling breaking more than
four points in the first hour. The mar
ket rallied in the second hour and Steel
common and some Of the other active
shares did not fare badly on the day,
but the rally may have been due to
nothing more important than the retire
ment of commitments, which is Gus
tomary at the weekend, and it was little
beneficial to Union Pacific. That stock
closed with a net loss OF 3 is points on
the day, and it was assumed that Mr.
Frick was not the only important holder
of the company's shares who has been
or is reducing his or her line of securities.
More than 10000 shares of Union Pacific,
or about a quarter of the days total,
changed hands in the course Of the ses-
sion. AS has been the case on most days
since the decline began the losses in
stocks could not be attributed to current
developments in so far as those develop
ments Immediately relate to current busi
ness.
The weekend reports were, in fact,
Unexpectedly favorable. The trade re-
views noted an improvement in most
lines. The fortnightly bulletin Of the
American Railway Association showed
decrease of 10000 in the number OF idle
cars on the railroads OF this country and
Canada, indicating a rapid movement OF
the crops. The bank statement disclosed
strong position. The heavy liquidation
in the stock market was reflected in a
loan contraction of more than s26, 000 900
and a grain Of more than s.. COO 900 in cash,
and there was an increase of nearly
So 600 900 in the surplus reserve.
