Stocks Advance as Belief Is Expressed THAI
Trusts Will Win in Clash with Government

by the action of the stock market,
whether the trust busting campaign has
been discounted.
These statements may seem rather eN-
treme, but if anybody will take the
trouble to read the Sherman antitrust
law it will be discovered that they are
very conservative, and on top of that
will come tariff reforms, and on top of
that will come a Presidential campaign.
It must also be remembered that the
crops in the United States are worth
this year a billion dollars less than the
crops Of last year.
OF course, in the long run the trusts
will win because there never was legts-
lative power strong enough to overcome
law of trade, and the trusts have been
formed in obedience to the higher power
before which all political power must
bend the knee. Legislators have, how
ever always been jealous of their al
legged suprmacy and backed up by courts
and armies they are often able temper
arily to create panics before being swept
out of power and being succeeded by
wiser politicians who recognize the limi-
tatiOns of legislation. One of these fights
is now under way, and it has not reached
the climax. Two of the most skillful
market manipulators have been active in
the market the past three days.
Prices to Go Lower.
One of these who believes that the low
prices already established this year will
look very high before many months
bought Steel in great blocks last Friday
because he discovered that most Of it
was sold by people who did not own it
He believes Steel will cross 60 on this
movement, and that Union Pacific will
touch 10. He also believes that Reading
may have a very material advance be-
fore it breaks par, as he feels certain
ii will.
The coal trust is sure to lose in the
litigation against 1t that is now before
the Supreme Court Of the United States.
The remaining insiders are anxious to
get as high d price as is possible from
which to continue liquidation. Compa-
nies whose incomes will be reduced by
tariff legislation. as, for instance, the
American Wooen Company, are doing
everything possible to make things look
bright in the hope that they may dis
pose of considerable stock before the
tariff is reformed.
Pacific Telephone crossed 50 under in
fluence of the expectation of dividends,
but official assurances of dividends are
still lacking.

By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Nov. 1.-Wall street accepts
the situation in the American Tobacco
Company as proof that the trusts are
stronger than the United States govern
ment, and the rallies in the stock market
to-day was in the nature of a celebration
of this theory. The existence of an enor-
nous short interest in leading issues
made it easier to celebrate, and before
the day was done leading stocks had ad-
vanced as much as three points. The
close was at the top, with the market
active and strong
In spite of optimism of Wall street
thSe are many persons who believe that,
right or wrong, the United States gov
ernment will succeed in dissOlving the
trusts. Victory of the government in its
campaign of dissolution will necessarily
create chaos in the business world.
Severe declines in the stock market will
be inevitable, and the present rally is
welcomed by investors, who want an op-
portunity to Tighten their holdings. OF
course, If the government is bluffing the
stock market is acting just right, but if
President Taft means what he says, and
he usually does mean what he says,
even though his friends sometimes have
TO disagree with him, then Wall street
Is laying tOundatlOn Tor more days ike
last Friday. There is no excuse for
hopefulness, for the worst is yet to come.
come.
Look for Arrests.
The stock market has not yet passed
through the experience of seeing three
or four of the greatest financiers in
America arrested for being conspirators.
The United States government, accord
ing to President Taft's repeated declar-
ations, intends to establish competition
and smash the trusts. President Taft
now realizes that the civil courts are
powerless to accomplish what he has
undertaken. Since he is determined to
succeed he will be compelled to proceed
under the criminal section of the Sher-
man law and under the sections that
provide that all property in transit own
ed by any trust or sold by il or purChas-
ed by ii shall be seized and COnfis-
Gated the same as though it were SNUG
gled into the country from abroad. When
Morgan or Gary is arrested and a train

EXCURSIONS.

Few Washingtonians are aware OF the
fact that they have a line of steamers
uneXcelled in size, equipment, speed, and
comfort anywhere in this country. Many
of our older citizens recall the old side
wheelers George Leary and Lady OF the
Lake, which were in service prior to 1890
These steamers were about $50 tons, be-
tween 175 and 200 feet long and drawing
about eight feet Of water, with approx
mately so staterooms. A comparison of
these vessels with the modern steamers
Northland and Southland afford a wider
divergence than a similar comparison
between our first battle ship Texas and
the latest Dreadnought, Florida. The latest
additions to the Norfolk and Washington
line are 3O5 feet long. $500 tons, and
have. 157 state rooms. From the old IA
miliar narrow two "bunk'' rooms, have
emerged roomy berth rooms with single
upper and Pullman lower berths of
enameled iron and bed rooms with full
size brass beds with private baths, en-
suite II desired. The old table d'hote
meal has given way to a modern a la
carte cafe, and altogether hundreds Of
improvements over the old method of
travelling by water. A weekend trip to
Old Point Comfort will convince one that
no other city in this country Is so we'll
equipped for luxurious water travel. The
city ticket office at 72o Fourteenth street,
in the Bond Building, at Fourteenth
and New York avenue, will gladly give
detailed information.

Des Moines. May 15.-His kindness
IN acting as the executor OF the will
OF his brother, Thompson Cannon has
cost r. c. NJ. Cannon, farmer living
near Des Moines, $4,000 and has taught
him to distrust new farm hands and
look closely into the character of the
attorneys he employs.
Yesterday Cannon flied a report with
Probate Commissioner James E.
OBrien in the district court in which
he set forth the manner in which he
was duped out OF the $4,000 belonging
to the estate Of his brother by farm
hand and man who posed as an at
torney.
Thompson Cannon died several
months ago leaving $4,000 in cash In
a bank In Des Moines. He asked that
his brother. F. G. NJ. Cannon, asst as
executor OF the will.
A short time after Thompson's death,
a man giving his name as Amos Hunt,
asked for employment on the Cannon
farm He complained he was tired OF
living in Des MOines and that he
wanted to get back to nature.
Cannon explained to Hunt that he
was the executor Of the estate OF his
brother and in one Of their CONVEX
sations, Hunt recommended that Can
non consult an alleged attorney in
Des Moines whose name was said to
be Edmund Frontier.
Frontier, he said, had just moved to
Des Moines and had not yet established
an office here. Hunt brought Cannon
to Des Moines where he met Frontier.
Frontiers first instruction was that the
money be taken from the bank In which
1t was deposited and placed in an
other which he recommended.
"Just give me an order to draw that
money and VIII deposit it to your
credit In the bank" the so-called
Frontier is alleged to have said to
Cannon.
Cannon had but little time in which
to catch his train for home and he
signed an order authorizing Frontier as
his attorney to take the money from
the bank They made arrangements
to meet in Des Moines the next day.
The next day came, but 1t did not
bring forth Frontier. The little pigs
on the Cannon farm went without their
dinner, for Hunt was not there to feed
them. The matter was taken up with
the authorities, but as yet they have
failed to md any trace Of the men who
so clever1y swindled Cannon out OF the
