STOCK MARKET
CLOSES STR0NG
Strong Tone Is Displayed All Through
First Hour of Trading-0pen.
ing Is Lower.

NEW YORK, Jan. THE news Of
the closing OF the Carnegie Trust Co.
caused some hurried selling at the
opening OF the stock market today, but
the fractional losses were quickly re-
covered, and at the end Of fifteen min
utes some stocks showed a net gain.
IL a. m.-The market continued
strong all through the first hour
Governments, unchanged; others
bonds, strong.
The stock market was hardly AT
fected at all by the news Of the sus-
pension of the Carnegie Trust Co. The
that the weakness had been elm
mated. and that there would be no
longer rumors OF impending trouble
In that quarter. The fact that the
failure did not involve the stability
OF other institutions, and that II re-
suited from methods Of banking pc
culiar to that one concern, no doubt
explained the markets indifference TO
the news. After reacting fractioually
at the opening, prices recovered quick
iy and the whole market ruled strong,
with unusual activity for a Saturday.
Buying OF Reading, United States
Steel, and the usually active shares
continued throughout the morning.
Towards the close the whole market
became buoyant, with heavy buying in
all quarters, final prices in general
being virtually the highest level OF the
day.
Stock market closed strong.

PHYSICIAN ACTS
As OWN ATTORNEY
DR.. Theophil Lafferty, Accused Of
Prescribing Cocaine, Is Putting
Up Picturesque Defense.

Fear that the jury would be preju-
diced because he had supported Daniel
j. Campau against Judge Connolly,
when these political gladiators clash
ed, was uppermost in the mind OF DR..
Theophil Lafferty, who pleaded his
own case nudge Connolly's court,
Saturday morning, when he was tried
on charge OF writing a prescription
for cocaine.
Lafferty, who spells his name in the
celtic manner, though he speaks with
a decidedly French accent, spurned
any legal assistance. He appeared In
court with a big bale OF handwritten
documents and clippings, with thumb
marks on the side showing careful
perusal. Ex-Judge Aldrich, chief as
sistant prosecuting attorney, was pit
ted against Lafferty.
Lafferty tried to have one friendly
retained, and pleaded with others as
to whether his friendship for Campau
woulr queer" him.
Bruce Wheeler. 18 years old, testi-
fled that Lafferty had given him a
prescription calling for one drachm OF
cocaine, and that he had secured the
drug In a pharmacy on Michigan-ave.
Lafferty explored the bale OF docu-
merits and produced a statement writ
ten on yellow paper and signed by a
man named Conroy, which he said
would prove Wheeler the tool in q
plot to injure Lafferty's reputation.
He was much grieved when the court
finally convinced him that he could
not introduce an unsworn statement.
Lafferty attempted to attack the
character OF several medical and 9TH
er witnesses, making large inroads
into the bale.
DR.. ]. K. Clark, county chemist, and
ar. B. ID. Harrison. OF the state board
OF registration in medicine, were
among the witnesses.

MESSAGE TO THE YOUNG
MAN IN BUSINESS.
Here it is:
1T seems to me that what the
young man in business today
needs to have emphasized is
THE IMPORTANCE OF HON
ESTY, in its fullest and broad

FIGHT FOR CAR
vENT|LAT0Rs WON
D. U. R. Agrees TO Equip Over 500
Trolleys and Prosecution of Road
Is Withdrawn.

The city's fight for ventilators in
the street railway cars, which has
been in progress for several years,
was declared won, Saturday morning,
when the d. U. Il. promised, through
its attorneys. in Judge Connolly's
court, that it would install ventila-
tors in 62S of its cars as rapidly as
possible.
The company's attorney exhibited
contract with the Peter Smith
Heater Co.. calling for the installa-
ton of combination heaters and VEN
tlators, and Health officer Kiefcr
and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Penniman, who have been pushing
the case, said this would be satisfac-
tory.
Judge Connolly continued the case
indefinitely, making the condition
that the company should file on the
fifteenth of every month a statement
as to the number OF cars equipped.
The arrangement does not include
the old Fourteenth-ave. cars, the ves-
tibules, OF which are not large enough
for the new equipment, ii was stated.
Attorney Donnelly. who represented
the company, smilingly stated that
the venerable arks would be retired
from service as fast as they wore
out.
Efforts to enforce ventilator ordl-
nances have been made for years, but
unsuccessful because OF the lack OF
a ventilator which would work uni
formly. whether the car was standing
or in motion.
The company has Il pay-enter cars
on the Woodward line equipped. and
20 in process of equipment with the
new apparatus. There are 27S double
truck and 203 single truck cars yet
to be enuiDped.

PROBLEM OF WHAT
TO Do WITH CANAL

By JUDSoN c. wELLIvER.

Now that we've Just about got .
transisthmian canal, what are we going
to do with It?
That question is beginning to loom
large with the makers of national

The volume of traffic In the region

1t Is said this company has more
than doubled its business In year.
Whether the canal shall be made an
effective competitor of the trans-con-
tinental railroads Is one big question.
Whether the Government shall operate
its own line of ships, Is another.
Pacific coast members Of both houses
Of Congress are pressing for Govern
ment ownership and operation OF YES
sells in this trade.
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, gained a
large part OF his reputation as a pub
lie man by making, for President
Roosevelt, a very detailed study OF the
AFFAIRS of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, its relations to the trans
continental railroads, its suppression OF
competition by water, etc. Senator
Bristow is q determined advocate OF
Government management OF the canal
in such a manner as to assure that II
shall be a real competitor Of the rail-
roads.
Senator Cummins wants the Govern
ment to build a feet OF twelve big, fast
steamers for this trade. He and Bris-
tow are to leave shortly for the canal
zone to study the whole situation with
a view to formulating a program that
the progressives in Congress will advo-

result in legislation being proposed
early, and pushed with such vigor as
