the legislature was adjourned under
the constitutional time limit.
The abolition of the road depart

the sum of $4,000 for the purchase
Of an armory property in Charleston
was cut out.

raised from $4,000 to $4,000.
A question exists as to the legality
Of action after the point of order

new YORK STOCKS
DECLINE SHARPLY
IN DULL MARKET
Foreign Gables Weak and
Holiday Intervening Here
Disturb Prices.

NEW YORK, July 3-stocks In the
New York market broke heavily at the
opening, and business was slow and dull
all the morning. Owing to the political
complications In Morocco and for yari-
GUS other reasons the foreign markets
were irregular and lower, and the holt
day Intervening tomorrow with the alb
sence Of many brokers from the city
disturbed local conditions. There was
no incentive to keep prices UP and they
accordingly went the other way with a
bound.
Great weakness developed in the OPEN
Ing bids. Nearly everything shared In the
downward movement. Lehigh Valley
declined IL points at the opening. Atch-
ison and Northern Pacific lost about a
point and other stocks showed large
losses The greatest weakness showed
during the first hour. and about II
o'clock there was momentary recov-
cry. This, however, was short lived,
and the list at noon was generally be-
low the opening figures North Pacific,
which closed Saturday at 134Az. opened
at l33A and lost q quarter of a point
before noon. Union Pacific opened q
lower and lost y In the mornings trans
actions. AL the rails shared in the de-
cline.
Metals were less active and showed
smaller losses, but were weak ali the
morning. Industrials scored losses Of
nearly point from Saturdays close
Brokers scanned the weather reports
and sought such comfort as was to be
had from that quarter. Considerable
interest conferred in the Government
cotton report, which was issued In
Washington at noon It proved to be
better than expected and had a slight
effect upon prices around the noon
hour. But 1t soon became evident that
any great rise in prices was not to be
expected until after the holiday to-
morrow, and trade settled into a rut
during the later operations.
The cotton report shows a condition
Of ST. as compared with SIS a month
ago, and S0.7 year ago. The estimate
Is points better than the average for
ten years, and is regarded here as ia
vorable for a large crop.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS =.
PRESENTS ITS PLEA
TO COMMISSIONERS
Committee Urges Street I'm
provements and Asks for
Playground.

Street Improvements and the purchase
of a playground were urged by a com
mittee representing the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association at a hear.
ing before the Commissioners today.
Opposition to the conversion of the
ground surrounding the school houses
into a playground was expressed by
Judge Charles c. Bundy, p emit OF
the association. The committee he said
did not advocate the purchase of any
particular site, but asked that the play
ground be located between Florida ave.
nue., Spring road, Sixteenth street and
Georgia avenue.
Fourteenth Street Site.
In answer the Commissioners pointed
out that among the sites suggested as
an alternative to the purchase of the
playground at Fourteenth street and
Columbia road, which they have disap-
proved, is a tract of three acres north
of the Powell school This site, it was
said by Judge Bundy, would meet with
the approval Of the association
The Commissioners, however, have not
vet definitely decided which site Of the
several under consideration they will
recommend for purchase
William B. Todd, secretary Of the rs
ISOLATION, presented a request for the
paving of Eleventh street from Flor1-
da avenue to Spring road, Irving street.
between Eleventh and Thirteenth
streets, and Fairmont street, from Elev-
enth to Thirteenth street.
Other improvements.
The association asked also that the
paving of Tenth street be continued
from Otis street to Spring road, that
Fifteenth street from Euclid street to
Columbia road be curbed and macad-
ernized, and that Belmont street and
Chaplin street / opened into Fifteenth
street.
The Commissioners said the requests
would be considered by them in the
preparation Of their next annual esti-
mates.
H. ]. Clark presented a resolution
asking that measures be adopted to
prevent boys from destroying the flow
ers and shrubbery in the parks.
Complaint is made also, he said, Of
contractors who pile heavy blocks on
the parking, to the destruction OF the
grass The Commissioners promised to
Investigate the matter with the view
of stricter enforcement Of the regu-
lations for the protection Of parks ard
parkings.

TARIFF LEAGUE, IN
ECONOMIST, CITES
DEFEAT FOR PACT
Paper Says Revolt Is in
Progress Against Presi-
dents Measure.

Alleging inside information that there
is in progress serious revolt against
the Canadian reciprocity bill among
Senators heretofore pledged to support
1t, the American Protective Tariff
League is undertaking a last determined
effort to turn the tide against the
Presidents measure.
In the issue of the American Econo-
mist. its organ, for July 7, the league
will make the positive declaration that
two Senators have gone to the Presi-
dent and asked him to release them
from their pledges in favor of the
measure. The Economist says:
lone of these Senators is known to
have said to Mr.. Taft:
az have heard from my people at
home. They are against the Canadian
agreement. Therefore, 1 ask to be re-
leased
The President refused to grant the
request, whereupon the Senator said:
Then 1 will release myself
Another Senator is known to have
released himself. and a third will prob
ably take the same course"
The Economist pretends to know that
tors who have pledged themselves in IA
vnr of the agreement, there would be a
vote in very short time, and the agree
mont would be defeated
Names are not given of men alleged
to have changed from support to oppo-
sition 1t is stated. however, that Sem
ator Henry F. Lippitt Of Rhode Island
Is one of them. He has appeared in all
the lists as supporter of the measure,
and for time expected to support it.
But in the last few days he has told
several Senators that he should oppose
1t. He is supposed to be one of the
three referred to by the Economist
Another Senator who has been count
ed in almost all the lists as in favor of
the bill. but who is now counted as
practically certain to oppose 1t, is Mr..
Kenyon of Iowa. He Is now in his
State, making a number Of speeches and
studying the sentiment OF his people.
When he left Washington he was pretty
strongly determined to oppose the meas
ure. and there is every reason to be-
lieve that what he learns at home will
tend to strengthen this purpose.
