HEAVY LIQUIDATION is CAUSE OF
SEVERE DEPRECIATION IN
SECURITIES.

NEW YORK, Sept. s-There was
no doubt about the action of today's
market. Long stock in large volume
was coming out. Tired holders
awearied by the fast fading OF values
took the only course open to protect
themselves from further loss. They
sold stocks right and left One firm.
Raymond, Pynchon & Co., sold 7O,uoo
shares. and wreen Brothers disposed
of $1,000 shares of Reading. These are
Western houses, and it looked like
their orders came from that section
Then there we're many thousands of
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Read,
ing. and other securities sold by dis
gruntled holders.
This was the fuel that the bears
needed to spur them to renewed energy
and they attacked the list viciously
and with but little covering movement,
after the beginning of the second and
last hour of the short session.
At the bottom more than a point
average drop was sustained. Reading
lost points. Canadian Pacific seems
to have Fewer friends than ever, de-
spite excellent earnings and outlook. 1t
Is probable that the holders of this
stock, which has recently showed gocn
strength, have tired of watching profits
fade away, and that. because OF the
high prices, comparatively, some hold

Church Official Says
Rev. Straight Had No
Power to Marry AStor

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The marriage
Of Colonel Aston and Miss Madeleine
Force, performed by the Providence
carpenter-clergyman, the Rev. E. s.
Straight. has the official sanction Of no
church body, according to the Rev. DR..
X. C. Macarthur. president Of the
Baptist World Alliance, and an au-
thority on ecclesiastical law.
"I know all about this man Straight,
said DR.. Macarthur today. He is not
a Baptist pastor at all, but is a super
animated Clergyman who has been regu-
larly employed as a carpenter for years.
He is not connected with the active
church, and had no right, as a Baptist,
10 perform the ceremony. 1 am writing
him today to demand why he has the
effrontery TO pose as a Baptist minis
ter.
mo Baptist clergyman could marry
Astor and Miss Force because, while
our church laws permit the remarriage
OF the innocent party in a divorce, we
follow strictly the Scriptural law that
the guilty party shall not remarry. The
church does not countenance as such
marriage as the Astor-Force alliance,
and Mr.. Straight, having broken its law
will most certainly be excluded from the
church"

Panic prices are not In sight, but they

mirably, for not more than three OF
four reporters and photographers were
at the Wellington avenue wharf to greet
them. The women were so heavily veil
ed that they had TO be led like blind

to Beechwood.
Sheriff Serves Summons.
The first person to greet Colonel
Astor when his yacht dropped anchor
was Deputy Sheriff King who even
outstripped Vincent Aston in the rush.
The deputy served Colonel Astor
with a summons in a $4,000 damage
suit brought by Mrs. Bridget McCro-

eldest son, Eugene, while WORKING a.

Yacht Decorated.
The Aston yacht was decorated with
flowers, smilax, and orange blossoms.
The plants and flowers had been taken
from the Astor green houses.
The marriage of today came after
weeks of vainly trying to find a minis
ter, and in the face of q national pro-
test from the pulpit.
The master of 500. 0OO, 200, who was di-
vorced about year ago by Mrs. Ava
Willing Astor, paid no heed to the
chorus Of protests that went up from
churches of every denomination, nor
did the force family.
Fashionable Newport has settled down
to speculation on the probable scene Of
the honeymoon. The Mona is coaled
and provisioned for a long cruise and
it is generally believed the honeymoon
will be a long voyage, probably to
Southern waters.

General Lii Yuen Heng, the revolu-
tionary leader, who had captured
Tiger fort few days ago, occupied
Shaikwan, a town on the banks of the

erto lain two miles down the river,
cautiously approached and took up a
position under the guns of Lion Hill
fort.
General Lin, second in command of
the revolutionary forces, took the
TAPPING gate and then arranged the
terms of capitulation of the entire city.
