PEACE ADVOCATES
PRAISE INITIATIVE
OF PRESIDENT TAFT
Speakers at Law Society's
Banquet See World

How eagerly the public leaders
throughout Christendom are awaiting
the day when President Taft will be
able to announce the consummation OF
a complete arbitration treaty with Great
Britain was demonstrated at the din
ner of the American Society Of Inter

Although President Taft himself did
rot discuss the treaty. and simply re-
viewed the basis for International law
and expressed hope for its broader de-
velopment. almost all of the speakers
made II clear that the one great pending
event in international affairs is the
making of this treaty.
Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, chief Justice
Of Canada, said the treaty would be an
inspiration TO the world. Ambassador
Bryce praised the work of President
Taft in promoting international peace.

GUM. leader in the peace societies Of
the world, said America was leading in

GOVERNMENT BANKS
HAVE MADE GOOD,
OFFICIALS REPORT
System to Be Extended to
Larger Cities, Says Stats
tician Thompson.

The forty-eight experimental Offices
of the postal bank system have made
good" 1t was announced at the Post
office Department today. The result, 1t
was stated, will be speedy extension
of the system to large cities.
Thus far repositories have been To-
Gated only in cities with less than
10000 population, and even these have
been placed in the face of bitter op-
position by private and national banks.
This opposition, 1t was declared today,
has been entirely overcome by records
showing that there has not been the
slightest conflict between the postal de-
positories and the regular establish
ments.
Banks now realize that instead of
losing money through our system they
actually gain deposits which they could
get In no other way" said Statistician
Harry Thompson, in charge Of the pos
tai bank organization. Our deposits
come from people who would not trust
their savings with any one on earth but
the Government. We, in turn. deposit
these savings with qualified banks"

SELLING IS LIVELY
AS PRICES SLUMP;
RAILROADS WEAK
Liquidation Begins in Hill Stocks
Extends to Other
Leaders.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Following the
lead of the London market stocks
made important gains today in the
opening trading here. Canadian "a
cifc was especially strong with a gain
of 3A. Advances of a point were made
by United States Steel, Erie, Union
Pacific, Lehigh Valley, American
Smelling and American Beet Sugar.
Stocks We're thrown on the market at
a lively rate following strong opening
and before the expiration of the first
hour many representative issues were
ruling a point or more below Satur-
days closing. The liquidation began
in the Hill stocks and extended to
other leaders, with business increasing
largely on the slump. AS has been
frequently the case of late, the most
acute weakness was in the railroad
section. Northern Pacific was down 2
points, Lehigh Valley Ia, Union Pa
cifc IN and st. Paul, Reading n
Atchison 1.
Noon-Heavy selling of stocks was
resumed today. Despite the higher
range of prices sent from London at
the opening, quotations soon reached
new low points of the yea Much of
the mornings selling was attributed to
further liquidation by Berlin, where
calling of loans by Paris and London
was said to have disclosed more weak
bull accounts. The Hartman stocks
were affected by reports that a strike
on those roads was inevitable. A fall
ing off. in steel exports was given as
a reason for the weakness in U. S.
Steel. A pause in the liquidation in
the second hour caused some hasty
covering and the market rallied a frac-
ton. Another downward plunge. I'M
covered many stop-loss orders and the
bears put out large blocks of stock,
driving prices still lower. The reac-
ton from the opening high prices
reached 81 in Lehigh Valley, 81 in
Union Pacific, 2as in Reading n
Canadian Pacific. "a in Northern Pa
| eihc, and 2 in U. S. Steel. st. Paul
and Southern Pacific. Bonds were
heavy.
l D. ma number of stocks went
lower than in the forenoon, including
Union Pacific. Northern Pacific, Lehigh
Valley, CHESAPEAKE & Ohio and Amer
lean Smelling, before the decline was
| checked by a fractional rally. Trading
became very quiet after the
Norfolk and Western made an excep-
tional gain of 2 points.

SPECIAL LEGISLATURE
LIKELY IN CONNECTICUT.
Governor Baldwin Will Call One
TO RedistriCt State.

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 11.-Al-
though the Connecticut Legislature
has been in session since January and
will probably not adjourn until next
week, there is a possibility thai Gov
ernor Baldwin will call a special ses-
sion after the close of this one. for the
purpose of having the State redistrict-
ed, both as to congressional and State
senatorial districts.
There Is a redistricting plan now be-
fore the Legislature, but it is not like
ly that any action will be taken. The
Governor has stated that he considers
the redistricting of the State of the
greatest Importance. The redistricting
would do away with h necessity for
a congressman-at-large and would
remedy what has been called the rot
ten borough system" by which State
senators are elected.

would in a rough sea and he was seized
with a feeling akin to seasickness.

the machine. which descended rapidly
for about 700 feet. This brought him
out of the cloud, when he had no diff
ft ulty in recovering his equilibrium.
