The exasperating part about it is that
neither the bears nor the bulls can hnd
anything to do but sit still and walt
Under such conditions as are prevalent
the bears might generally be counted on
to make a play for a break, but they
seem awed by the limited floating sup

the insiders have the power TO advance
values in short order, provided the
bears are caught heavily oversold. AS
one broker told the story, the market

ticles recently purchased, belonged to
Miss Adams and Mrs. ID. b. Merry
man, who makes her home with Miss
Adams. Miss Adams is a daughter Of
the late George W. Ahams, a we'll
known Washington newspaper man.
On Monday she sent TO the Ladies' Ex-
change for a house maid. The Miller
girl was sent around to the house and
Mrs. Merryman had an interview with
her. She impressed Mrs. Merryman in
such a manner that she told Miss
Adams she thought she would prove
right.
Taken on Faith.
She had never been employed in WASH
ington before, she said, and all Of her
letters were signed by names OF people
in New York. Finally 1t was decided to
employ her without waiting to COM
municate With her supposed former en-
ployes In New York.
She reported at the house at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning and went to work
Immediately. In the afternoon Miss
Adams and Mrs. Merryman went out,
and when they returned about dinner
time II was discovered that the jewelry

store about half an hour before.
were taken from a silver jewel box in
a drawer in a writing desk In her bed
room. The articles belonging to Mrs.
Merryman were taken from drawer IN
a dresser In her bedroom. The most
necklace belonging to Miss Adams, and
valued at $500
Woman Saw Her.
''I know the woman saw me lock the
things in the drawer yesterday morn
ing" Miss Adams continued. She was
cleaning up the room when 1 opened
the drawer, took out the Jewel box, and
removed a small pin which wanted to
wear. 1 kept the key hid in a small
box In another part Of the desk, and
believe she saw where put 1t.
Naturally. when Mrs. Merryman and
I were both out, 1t was almost no trou-
BILE for her to evade the other servants
and commit the robbery"
The police say that the operations Of
the Mueller woman have netter her
thousands of dollars during the last
year. The ease with which she has es-
capped detection and disposed OF the
stolen articles convinces them that she
has at least one confederate.
She Is about twenty-six years old,
five feet five inches tall, with TH:ck
black hair large black eyes, olive COM
plexion, and is unusually attractive In
appearance. On her left cheek she has
a small mole.
The police believe the woman left
Washington last night. For some rea-
son, which they decline to divulge, they
are of the opinion that she went to New
York, and Detective Hewlett left for
that place on the midnight train. His
partner, Detective Pratt, is investigat-
ing the Washington end, but practically
the entire detective corps is working on
the case.
Circulars with a description of the
woman and the stolen jewelry are being
prepared today, and will be sent out
broadcast.
List of the Property.
A partial list OF the stolen property
follows:

containing sixty-two pearls the size OF a

has been better than the selling. The
Street has a story that President Un'
derwood, of the Erie, has been ap-
preached and asked to undertake the
rehabilitation of the Missouri Pacific.
His success in putting Erie on it's feet
has attracted attention to him. 1t was
also rumored that choice had been
made for president of Missouri Pacific.
although no definite statement was
made as TO the man chosen.
Some of the leading commission
houses take the ground that the market
daily grows into stronger position, de-
spite the increasing inertia. Naturally
the trading position is about all that
then until such time as the Street is
free to go ahead and do business with
out the fear of serious trouble through
the construction of the Sherman anti
trust law. The interior is taking money
from New York quite freely, the loss
to the subtreasury by the banks since
last Friday being $,J07,C00.
Orders for steel rails are not coming
in as freely as had been expected. The
decision in the rate matter has caused
many roads to economiZe, and to plan
for further curtailing wherever possible
of maintenance expense. Another block
of cases will come before the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the near fu-
ture in a question of the reasonableness

TRADING WAS LIGHT
AND PRICES FIRM
No Particular Change In
Anything Showing of
Greene-Cananea.

There were no developments Of i'm
portance on Change today, and, while
the trading was fair in the aggregate,
there was no especial activity in any
thing. Values showed no changes worthy
of comment. 1t is seldom that more
than a few shares of Union Trust stock
is marketed. but today sixty-sjN shares
In several lots were offered, and found
ready sale at 1881 to 143, with a close
at 143h. There was no reason for the
activity, unless 1t might be found in a
desire to change. investment or take
a profit on the recent good advance In
this stock.
Washington Gas 6's hold steadily at
the slight improvement made recently,
11Oh. Capital Traction SIS were just as
steady at 112k.
Washington Gas stock continues to
hold just as steadily as possible, a frac-
ton Of an eighth representing the only
change In weeks. 1t sold today at 1871 to
So The inside is the steady bid, and the
outside the equally steady asked price.
Washington and Virginia railway was
decidedly strong. the common selling al
S61l to 36%, and the preferred at 66, early
to 65lR.
Potomac Insurance at 80. was another
stock that Is only quoted on the sales
sheet infrequently.
The Greene-Cananea Copper Company
will close its construction work on the
first Of next month. The stock Of this
corporation Is listed on the local ex-
change The sum total of the improve
ments and construction work Is nearly
$4,500, 900. Much of this has been met by
payments from the earnings.
The most important statement Is that
the company will be able to lay down
copper in New York from its Mexican
mines at 8 cents a pound. The manage
ment now in charge plans on opening
$1,000 feet new ground annually. Since
the control of the property was taken
over by Col. w. c. Greene, over forty
miles of underground openings have
been made. The condition of the mine
is such that it can produce a maximum
Of 80, 10000 pounds of copper a month az
a maximum cost OF cents, New York.
The present purpose is to maintain
100000 to S,500,OoO pounds production.
An operating revenue was produced in
1910 Of S1,300,000, from which the con-
struction account called for $550,000.
1t is declared that Greene-Cananea is
in position to make the best showing in
its career. 1t has, combined with Ca
nanea Central, $3,50O.OOO quick assets,
and in addition valuable improvements
before referred to.

POSTMASTER RENEAU.

"The average daily business for the
first seven days Of this month at the
Tulsa post office amounted to two
hundred dollars These figures show
steady increase over the receipts Of
the last few months and indicate fully
a substantial recuperauon in the city
from the slower summer months.
Business and industrial circles are all
travelling faster and with more "er-
tainity. for the post office receipts
are always a sure industrial baro-
meter of the town."
The foregoing optimistic statement
made by Postmaster Walter l. Re

post office receipts for the present

The business done so far this month
is a splendid start and Mr.. Renoau is
looking forward to this average being
maintained all fall and winter, with
good chances for increases all along
the line.

An echo Of the famous Steinbuckel
dynamiting case near l3iXby a few
months ago, was heard in the county
attorneys office yesterday when c. w
Palmer swOre out "A warrant for the
arrest Of George Edwards, charging
him with shooting at him with intent
to kill. A deputy sheriff left yester-
day afternoon for BiXby to make the
arrest
Palmer, who was accused. tried and
acquitted of the charge of dynamit-
ing the Steinhuckel home last year,
alleges that Edwards. who is a tenant
on the SteinbuclIel place, shot at him
with a revolver while at work in the
fields on Sunday afternoon.
The difficulty is Just another act
in the strange feud that has for
months caused much trouble and ma
ny threats near Blxby. Steinbuckel
Is a large landowner in this county,
and trouble between himself and ten
ants had resulted in several lawsuits,
dynamting, and two or three fights
with guns.
