BEARlSH SENTIMENT PREVAILED, BUT
'.I LEADING STOCKS WERE
STEADY.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.--Probably the
most important announcement made
in connection with market influences
today was the decision of ]. Pierpont
Morgan to postpone his trip abroad.
The bears at once took up the argu-
ment that this action indicated that
the chief financier of the Street was
afraid to leave the city at the present
time, and they ascribed as the reason
dread of further disasters or cause
for assistance from financial institu-
tions. Sentiment in the room was al
most entirely bearish, and IL 1t had
not met opposition in evident support
given the market the bears would
have been successful in establishing
lower prices. 1t Is evident that the
market has had more or less assist
ance by Mr.. Morgan and his friends
ever since the 7th instant, when
the Carnegie institution closed Its
doors. The advance in stocks on that
day showed manipulation of the plain
est character. It Is stated in reply
to all bear talk that stocks are well
held, but these indications today of
pool selling here and there through
out the list and Union Pacific and
Pacific appeared to need the
helping hand.
No one could look upon the action of
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
further delaying the rate cases as a
bull argument, nor the complaint filed
with the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion this morning by the State of Kan

What Was Judson's
Remark to A. T. Stuart ?

Just what Commissioner William "
Judson said to Superintendent Of
Schools A. T. Stuart. on a vlsit.to the
new Brookland School. promises to
become a mystery that even time may
not solve.
The famous speech was the subject
of indignant protest at Board of
Education meeting. The superintend-
ent asserted he had been grossly in
suited" and Captain Oyster, president
OF the board. was manifestly indig-
nant
Gentlemen. I will let you judge for
yourself the breach of courtesy" the
president of the board told the mem
bers. 'T will read you the report of
the incident sent me by Mr.. Stuart"
That was as far as the president
got, for after he adjusted his glasses
and cleared his throat, he reached IN
to his right-hand pocket and found
that the report was missing.
Captain Oyster assured the board
that the incident would lose much in
the telling without this report, so he
asked Superintendelt Stuart to write
Il cut again. The superintendent did
this and. for three days, while he was
interested in the Chamber of Com
merce election, he refused to pull that
report out Of his pocket for lack of
time.

sas and It's board of railroad commits
sioners against the Atchison and twen-
ty-six railroads asking for cheaper class
and commodity rates to points in Kan
sas. 1t has been held all along that
the efforts of the railroads Of the coun-
try to secure higher rates was perhaps
clever move to head off any attempts
to force reductions. II so, this Kansas
situation would seem to indicate that
the West is not inclined to let the mat
ter drop so easily.
There was no special activity in the
market, and the changes, with few ex-
ceptions, were really unimportant, with
the exception of a drop of IL points in
Missouri Pacific, q in Gas, and v in st.
Paul. Union Pacific needed support at
172% and found 1t for recovery Of a
support. Reading dropped y and came
back " New York Central was one
of the weak stocks, breaking from
high at ll1h TO 110h.
Steel common started well, eased up
hit and scored a net gain OF y OF a
point.
Brokers are advising their customers
to place stop orders and also promising
support in case the liquidation should
be carried very much further. steel
seems to be offered rather freely at 20.
Should that price be reached again
the sales would be quite liberal
The offering of 100000 st. Louis and
San Francisco sixteen-year-gold bonds
paving per cent at 81 by Speyer &
Company is not a bull argument.
Another story concerning the delay by
Mr.. Morgan in departing for Europe Is
that he stayed in order to assist the
Secretary of the Treasury in issuing a
large block of emergency certificates,
possibly IN connection with the Panama
Canal

Views of Members
On Chamber Election

The comment Of members of the
Chamber of Commerce on the election
and its meaning and en- the affairs of
the Chamber, expressed during the re-
cess last evening, shows the deep in
tel est taken in the Chamber and the
realization among members of the pur-
poses and responsibilities of the. organi-
cation. The following are statements
of the more prominent members:
Frederick L. Siddons-Added life and
enthusiasm have been aroused in the
Chamber Of Commerce as a result of
the strenuous contest for first vice
president and the discussion of public

doubtedly will. not only in the solution

WAS A vERMoNTER.
Mrs Lucy Ann Gilmore Died in Man
chester, N. H., Last Night.

Manchester, n. IT., Dec. ll.-The an
nouneement is made Of the death of
Mrs. Lucy Ann Gilmore, who passed
away at o'clock last night, at her
late home. 374 Merrimack street. az
the age of 81 year. Mrs. Gilmore was
native of Walden, VT. She attended
the Universalist church of this city. She
had been confined to her bed about six
weeks.
She is survived by widower George
C. Gilmore; three brothers, John B. Liv-
ingston and Wheaton Livingston of East
Hardwick. VT. and Josiah Of Montpelier; I;
sister. Mrs Sophia Harrington Of
Cabot, VT, and son, Waldo f. Gilmore,
of this city.
Mrs. Gilmore was woman of the old
school, kindly, loyal and devoted, and
was the main comfort of Mr.. Gilmore,
who is totally blind and in very feeble
condition. Her death comes as tre-
mendous blow to Mr.. Gilmore, who is
deprived of most helpful and loving
companion, and of the comfort which
she had faithfully shown him in his de-
clining years.
The situation, in so far as the be-
reaved widower is concerned, is extreme
" sad. Major Gilmore is in the mid
die SOS and in nearly helpless condi-
tion, and the hearty hope Of the few
friends who have been rallying to his
aid is that the many friends of the
major who have been unaware of the
circumstances, viii come forward and
tender him needed comforts.

pIrTsFoRD CHURCH DAMAGED.
Fire in vestry and Altar of St, Alphon-
sus Society Last Night.

Pittsford, Dec. ll.-Fire last night
gutted the vestry aud altar of st. AL.
phonsus church az pittsford Mills and
before the flames were brought under
control, that part of the church edliicc
was badly damaged by water. The fire
was discovered by 3 family living near
the building and it was confined to the
vestry, which is in the rear of the church
The main part of the building was filled
with smoke, so that IL was impossible
to get to the bell rope to sound the
alarm.
IL is not known Just how the fire start
ed and two probable canses have been
advanced. One is that the altar boys
forgot to take the embers from the in
cense burner and another is that the
fire caught from stove in the vestry.
A benediction service was held in the
church at 4:40 o'clock and the jantor
did not leave the building until about
six.
The entire vestry and the main altar
were destroyed All the vestments were
burned in addition to a valuable painting
OF "The Cucifxiou' WAS consumed.
Some statuary and all but one of the
stations of the cross were saved.
Rev J. A. Lynch said last night that
no accurate etsimate Of the loss could
be given, but he thought II would not
be over $1,000, partially covered by in
surance. The church, which is OF brick
and stone. was built by the late Rev.
Charles Boylan in 1850. The property
enlarged and improved is now valued at
$35, 600.

WON'T INTERFERE
IN TOBACCO CASE
Supreme Court of United States Declined
to Change the Decree Regarding
Reorganization of the "To-
baccO Trust"

Washington, D. c., Dec 1.-THE SUI
preme court Of the United States to-
day declined to interfere at this time
with the decree of the United States
circuit court for southern New York
approving of the reorganization of the
tobacco trust"
The application for the petition was
made by Felix II. Levy, representing
the leaf tobacco board of trade of New
York, which is composed Of about sew
enty-fve concerns engaged in the bus
mess of selling leaf tobacco to tobacco
manufacturers. In the petition it was
stated that the attorney generals of Nir-
ginia, North Carolina and South Carolina
joined in the request for considera-
tion by the supreme court Of the re-
organization plan.
The petition asked that the United
States circuit court for southern New
York he required to vacate its recent
decree approving the reorganization OF
the American Tobacco company which
had been directed by the supreme court
in its opinion last May, to disinte-
crate. Another prayer was that the cir
cult court be directed to send the case
to the supreme court for review, and to
allow the board to intervene as party
to the suit which resulted in the dis
solution decree of the supreme court last
May.

oped 80 rapidly in the evening that Man

WAS JUST ALIVE.
James Leek Had Been Missing Nearly a
Week Yesterday.

Southbridge, Mass, Dec. ll.--Uncon-
seious from hunger and exposure, with
the spark of life barely Pickering, search
ers yesterday found James Leek, who
had been mysteriously missing since
early Tuesday, in a crevice between two
lodges in woods a mile from the center
OF the town.
His emaciated condition indicated that
he must have lain in the spot where
he was found practically the entire six
days that he had been absent Sew
eral times during the past two days
members of posse that has been comb
ing the woods, passed within sight Of
the Granny where Leek lay, but it was
not until dusk last night, when his
friends were making their final search,
that he was discovered
Restoratives were applied before Leek
was moved and he opened his eyes long
enough to ask the single question,
"Where am | = and then again lapsed
into Inconsistencies. He was taken to
physician, who last night expressed some
hope that he may recover.
Leell was employed in local factory
and just after o'clock Tuesday morn
ing started for work as usual When
he did not return at night, Mrs. Leek
investigated, and learning that her hus-
band had not been at the factory dur
ing the day, reported the matter to
the police, with the result that a sys-
tcmatic search was instituted, and Sat
urday more than 200 men and boys par
ticipated.
Until Leek recovers sufficiently to ex-
plain how he came to be in the place
where he was found yesterday, the mys-
tery will remain unsolved. The police
theory is that in passing through the
woods on his way to work he may have
become confused and followed wrong
path and in trying to get back had fall
len into the crevice in the rocks.
Leek has wife and child and is
about 80 years of age.
