UNION PACIFIC IN SERIOUS BREAK,

NEW. YORK, Aug. 12.-Wall Street
was very near the panicky stage this
morning. The two hours session was
the second hours movement in the d.
rection of partial recovery.
Rumors were very general. No
names were mentioned, but it was stat
ed that "a prominent house was in
trouble" Then, too, came the story
that President Lovett of Union Pacific
system, the successor of the lamented
Hartman. would tender his resignation.
This was followed by a report that
Morgan-there's but one Morgan-was
after Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cifc. and that Henry c. FrIck, until
recently a director on the Hartman
roads, had lent himself to the move
ment. These stories coming, as they
did, on top of the long period of .liqui-
dation incident to the persistent and in
sistent inquisition by House committees
and the Perkins interview, in which the
position OF the Steel Corporation and
the Sherman law was shown to be as
uncertain and as much at sea as pos
slble, gave the bears courage and the
bulls heart disease. The crop conditions
helped along the weak spell
speculative traders who have been
reeling for the bottom for weeks with
stop order protection found their stop
orders caught, and the calling of mar
gins by commission houses, with the

one thing-the fact that the public was

Expect Disagreement
On Free List Bill

With an agreement reached on the
wool bill, tariff discussion about the
Capitol today, centered. about the free
list bill, which still is in conference.
Contrary to the expectations yester-
day, the conferees did not find them
selves able to reach an agreement on
the free list bill with ease. The con-
ferees meet again this afternoon. There
was much talk that a disagreement
would result.
The House leaders feel that If they
can force the Senate to take one more
vote on the free list bill, the House
bill may go through the Senate. The
bill failed to pass the Senate in the first
place by only a tie vote. II another
vote is taken the House bill will stand
a good show of adoption. So Leader
Underwood is seeking a disagreement.
The essential difference between the
House bill and the Senate bill is that
the House bill provides for free meats
and -four from all countries, while the
Senate bill restricts these free importa-
tions to one country, Canada. Also, the
House bill provides for free lemons,
while the Senate bill does not.
Senator Bailey is one of the Demo
Gratis of the Senate strongly opposed to
free meats and -four from the entire
world. He is uneasy lest the House
bill pass the Senate on another test.

Hog Bites Man Changing
It From Crate to Crate

Although biologists do not class the
hog in the fierce and ferocious" group
of animals, William Hollis, who is en-
ployed at a commission store, 935
Louisiana avenue northwest. declares
the humble porker is such an animal.
This morning Hollis endeavored to
transfer a half-grown and yet able
bodied hog from one shipping crate to
another.
you'd better get some one to help
you," fellow-employe advised, but
Hollis thought he could manage the
operation. Things went along beauti-
fully until it was about half completed,
when Mr.. Hog, evidently not liking the
looks of his new crate, baked. Hollis
attempted to urge the animal on, and II
turned upon him and bit him through
the palm OF his right hand. Hollis was
taken to Emergency Hospital in an
ambulance. The wound was cauterized
to prevent blood-poisoning.
