ROADS MAKE GAIN
 BY CUTTING EXPENSE
One Line Reports Gross De- crease But Net Gain in
 February Earnings

NEW YORK, March 27.-Increas ing slowness in most lines of trade is finding its accurate reflection in the stagnation which has overtaken the securities in the market. The tone Of the markee was firm through out the day, with increasing strength in the afternoon There was no ap strength. Speculative activity in some of the important stocks increas ed in the last hour and Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Northern Pacific, Norfolk & Western, Atchison, E. X o. and Gas stocks closed with a net cain of point or more.
 News bearing on railroads is re ceiving especial attention as the roads are believed 10 hold the key to the present situation and as the period adjustment of new conditions. arising largely from their inability to increase freight rates, has now fairly begun.
 In this connection the February report Of the Baltimore & Ohio is of unusual significance, although it's gross earnings fell of by s37s,0 expenses were reduced so heavily that there was small increase in ret earnings. with gross earnings as whole running up to or a little ahead of last year.
 European markets were somewhat irregular, although alarm as to the situatiOn in the far east is allayed by China's reported decision to yield to he demands of Russia

HEAVY FINE IS GIVEN
 TENDERLOIH ARTIST
Picture Is Confiscated and Will Be Destroyed By
 District Attorney
DISTRIBUTOR" ALSO FINED

Adolph Cedro an artist whose miasmic inspiration arlses from the underworld and whose subjects are clothed only in the habilaments of nature, was arraigned before Judge High Saturday afternoon on the charge of violating a section or a penal code which prohibits the paint ing and selling of lewd or indecent pictures.
 The picture which caused Cedro's arrest was captured in a raid Of a house in the tenderloin several nights ago and traced to Cedro's volatile but morally vicious brush When brought into court to answer 70 the charge against him, Cedro entered a plea of not guilty, but it was largely on his own state ment that the court fined him niutv dollars or ninety days in jail al TombstJae. He mainsained that
 he had an order" for the picture and seemed 10 think that because the pictorial idea and paint had been tSa4i SiAs-SSdf iS was iieS Iiuib dus guilt
 The picture will be sent to the office of the district attorney at Tombstone and will be destroyed. While the picture was not held up to the view of the court audience, at the trial, it is said to be an exhibition and evidence of utter de generaey. When the picture was shown the witnesses examined on :he stand the back of it was in turned to the audience.
 The picture was painted on the bottem of a heavy pasteboard box which originally contained a burial robe. The coloring and technic of the painting. done in oils. are said 70 be extremely good for an amateur Cedro is sad to have done quite a number of orders for the tenderloin, though he says the subjects are always ordered.
 Cedro was unable to pay the fine of ninety dollars and will be con fined in the county jail at Tomb stone for three months but he will not be allowed his paint and brushes
 A receipt is said to have been in evidence. showing that Cedro was paid three dollars for painting the picture and that Raymond Ovans had ordered the picture He was arrested on the charge of distribut ing indecent painting and fined $50 or fifty days. He paid the fine
