Question Their Status.
A legal question has been raised re-
garding the right of the New York Cen
trail to issue bonds to secure what are
now Lake Shore and Michigan Central
collateral bonds These collateral bonds
were issued with the agreement that If
three-fourths Of their owners approved,
the stock held behind them as collateral
might be released, provided New York
Central substituted for this stock as Sc
curity a mortgage on its properties, said
mortgage to be second only to the first
mortgage then existing.
But since that time Central has issued
S43, 100000 of debentures, these deben-
ture bonds stating. that no mortgage
shall ever be put ahead of them unless
they are included in it. II both these
agreements are carried out the Lake

New York, Dec @-After selling under

the stock market became active and

An advance of copper metal to IA 1-2
cents was announced by the Calumet and
Hecla Mining Company. This confirms
the current reports of a strong market
for that metal The low price that has
prevailed for several years has encour-
aged the use of copper to such an extent
that several of the greatest producers in
tend to so increase their output that the
price of the metal may not cross Is

No Corner Likely.
In spite of this increase of output.
which is now being brought about, the
supply Of metal on hand at the end of
December will be materially less than
what was reported at the end of Novem-
ber Copper producers have learned their
lesson well through bitter experiences,
and it Is not likely that a corner in the
metal will be attempted in the present
generation. With copper at present
prices, Anaconda is earning almost 10
per cent on its capitalization. The earn

BIGAMIsT AWAITS TRIAL.
John Walker, Unable to Get Bond
Committed to Jail.

In default Of $500 bond, John Walker,
who surrendered himself to Lieut.. Hart
ley at police headquarters as bigamist,
was committed to Jail yesterday TO
await the action of the grand jury.
In 1904 Walker married Stella V. Wright.
of New Market. Va, where the couple
lived until about a year ago, when, fol-
lowing a quarrel, the husband left his
wife and came to Washington. He OBJ
tanned employment in the Government
Hospital for the Insane. Believing upon
information received from New Market
that his wife had obtained a divorce,
Walker wooed Miss Carrie Wilson, an en-
pIoye Of the institution, and on December
IS, the couple was married by Rev"
Hunnicutt, whose license to perform mar
riages was revoked yesterday.

MET. SOLD AT AUCTION.
Thomas F. Ryan Reported to Have
: Re-entered Traction Monopoly.

New York, Dec 29.-Two widely diver
gent reports of real significance to
the traction interests in this vicinity
gained currency in the financial district
to-day after the formality Of auction
ing' the Metropolitan Street Railway
had been completed. One report was that
it signalized the re-entrance Of Thomas
Fortune Ryan into the traction mo-
nopoly.
The other was that it introduced the
vast Armour interests of the West into
the New York traction field Neither
report could be confirmed, because no
body in a position to speak authortta-
lively would discuss either rumor.
Only one bid was made for both issues
of the 5 and per cent bonds, and that
came from Mr.. Trip. who is believed
to represent Ryan interests. The upset
prices Of the issues were, respectively,
100000 and 100000. Mr.. Trips bid
was accepted.

record at the meeting OF the local
stock exchange yesterday when the
stock sold as high as 81 rs. An odd
lot OF ten shares brought 50.
One hundred and fifty shares Of the
common stock exchanged hands during

done by the broker who has been very
active in the buying of late. A new
buyer developed who was anxious to
get the stock even at the advanced
figures. At the close Of the regular
call the bid was SO and the asking
price 81 ga. The day before the fig-
ures were 40 1-2 and so 1-2, respect

THE MEMORIAL A.C.
PLANS BUSY SEASON
Track Team to Be Organized
This Fall.

The Memorial Athletic Club is busIly
engaged in planning its campaign for
track honors for the coming season.
Most of the prominent athletes OF last
season will again compete under the club
colors. Some Of these are especially wor-
thy of mention. John J. Campbell was
the first Washington lad to finish in the
Times marathon race, although a dark
horse at the start. George w. Dowden.
Dudley B. Howard, and Fred H. Reeves
are other loug-distance men who have
good past performances\ to their credit,
Reeves making a good showing in the
Baltimore asphalt marathon. Wilbur F.
Kellogg, besides doing the distance
events, competes in the jumps.
Ossian Ryan is q good dash man and
will also perform in the jumps.
Marmaduke Dent is a dash and relay
man, and can perform consistently in
any event up to mile.
The club received a big boost when the
Twining Club dissolved and its best ath-
letes Joined the Memorial. Raymond
Miller. Owen Mead, William Warren,
Sylvan Sheridan, and John Reardon are
the little men who have been added from
the Twining Club.
The following are all new men at the
game. Some good men are on the list
who lack only development and training.
They are Burns Mccormick, Myron Gold
smith, Harry Magruder. P. c. Nicholson,
Arthur NJ. Reeves, Henry Johnson.
Ernest ]. Kendrick, George W. Keane,
Norman Lpscomb, George w. Stoner,
Israel Snyder, and Louis Windsor.
What looks best as a factor to success
is the announcement that the well-known
trainer and coach, L. P. Foley, has con-
sented to take charge Of the squad for
the coming year. He has a good record
for turning out successful teams. Be
sides the regular track work, he will also
conduct gymnasium classes and develop
basketball and an indoor baseball
team.
The indoor baseball team will be a
member of the City League.
Special attention will also be paid to
boxing and wrestling.

George StopaH
Has Made Good
Manager of Cleveland Maps Is Regarded as the
Bresnahan of the american League-Made
a Winner Ont of a Loser.

Of blunders. But, IN the event Of better
team work being acquired through prac-
tice and patience, he was OF the opinion
that the team which was losing for the
reasons mentioned would begin to win
when the players found themselves and
became more of baseball machine. /,
Believing that he realized that what
he would have to Instill into the young
sters was confidence in themselves and
incidentally In the team as a whole. Con-
sequently, he adopted the system Of leav-
ing his young pitchers in the box from
start to finish. regardless of their lack OF
control or ineffectiveness in spots.
AS Addie Joss remarked two weeks
before he died, StovaIl believed that a
young pitchers career can be injured by
being taken from the box upon the
slightest provocation in his early trials.
He was, therefore, working on the plan
that the sooner he could restore conf
dence among his beavers, the sooner the
team would win.
Chicago scored seven run against each
of the two Nap pitchers, Gregg and
Knapp, yet each struck to the finish.
That he acted wisely has been demon
strated since
Again, with Olson going bad IN the
field and at the bat, he informed the
shortstop that he was there to stay
that no changes were going to be made
In the makeup of the inner works. At
once Olson began to play an improving
game, especially with the willow. batting
In pinches as well as when the bases
were unoccupied.
The team lacked pepper, but Stovall
got them all up on their toes, and they
jabbered away like a lot Of poll parrots
They were full Of fight, backed up each
other like champions, and you can look
for them to be very much In next year 8
pennant race
StovalI does not believe IN morning
practice. But every man must report
at the grounds at 10 o'clock when the
team is at home, where they cluster in
the grand stand and talk over plays.
Stovan believes that morning practice
takes the players on edge and that they
are not in tptop shape therefore in the
afternoon.
