Steel common, which has been the
center OF attention for several days be-
cause of Its depressing effect upon the
rest OF the market, opened at 65h, a
quarter lower than the closing. 1t lost
ground during the morning, going
down about a point to SAY, and rally
Ing a fraction about noon. This indi-
Gates that the advance in Steel yester-
day was simply sympathetic with the
rise In the rails due to the crop report.
The movement of the stock this morn
Ing also shows that the pressure upon
Steel Is not permanently lifted, and
that prices are to be affected by II for
some time longer.
The opening of the market generally
was slightly lower. Some stocks sold
up a little and some sold lower from
the start, but as a result OF the morn
ing's operations all were down, from
smaA fractions to full point. Read
ing, the market leader, opened 4 above
the closing, at 175is, sold up a point,
and fell back again to 174%. In like
manner Union Pacific lost y point. and
other rails similar amounts. The in.
dustrials showed less fluctuation, but
the declines were along the same lines.
At noon the market was heavy and
dull
After the noon hour prices began &c
harden and slowly advanced to cover
some of the losses Of the morning. The
progress OF affairs was slow, but II
was shown that the support the market
has had all along Is still in the saddle
ready to ride into the bear camp wher
it gets to bowling too Vociferously.

RAILWAY COMMON
ADVANCES TO 93
IN LOCAL MARKET
Spirited Bidding and Bold
Support Given to the
Stock.

Large transactions in bonds of the
public utility corporations, marked the
early trading on the local stock ex-
change today. Capital Traction SIS.
Railway and Electric As, and Potomac
Consolidated SIS were the issues sold.
The prices were within small fractions
Of the current figures.
Hallway common stock was q feature
Of the business on call. Considerable OF
members, and the price was. bid up
from SO to 80, with sales of tho stock
at various points between. About 900
shares entered into the trading, which
was taken very largely by a single
broker. The movement in the stock to-
day has no greater significance than re.
cent movements In the same issue. II
Is explained by insiders that some OF
the large holders of the stock regard
II as worth more than at present-that
the earnings of the company and its
increased business warrant dividends
larger than those paid ct present, and
that II Is the part of wisdom to buy
the stock whenever II can lie obtained
and at figures which now prevail.
Railway preferred sold at 95, So thai
II can be seen that the prices of the
two classes of securities are closely
approaching. provided the views of thu
holders of the stock quoted succeed II
holding the price of the common at th'
present level.
Outside of bonds and Railway com
mon business was very small, consist
ing of a few scattered trades in small
quantities of stock.

Fight in the Senate
Over Confirmation

A bitter fight is expected in the Senate
over the question of the confirmation
of Judge Richard E. Sloan, former ter
ritorial governor of Arizona, appointed
by President Taft as Federal judge in
that State.
The charge has been made that the
President appointed a man who is unfit
to punish the people for favoring the
recall Of judges. Sloan. however. was
first appointed territorial judge by
President Harrison and twice reap
pointed by President Roosevelt.
J hTe charges against Judge Sloan. al
leging that he was a railroad sympa-
thizer and otherwise unfit, were filed
with the Senate judiciary Committee.
but after an investigation by a subcom-
mittee, of which Senator O'Gorman
was the head. were dismissed.
The two Arizona Senators, however
are bent on carrying the fight to the
floor in executive session, and will have
the backing of a number of their Demo
cratic colleagues.

Berger Speaks on
"PoWer of Privilege"

Congressman Victor Berger, the only
Socialist member Of Congress, spoke
at Ingram Memorial Congregational
Church last night on the question of
tho Power of Privilege" The Con-
gresham said that the prevalent spirit
of the hour in this country is to find
means of correcting the judiciary. He
said that of all the important steps
taken by Congress at the present term.
none equaled the inquiry which has
just been started into the conduct of
Judge Archibald.
The people are going to demand of

they will accomplish a correction of the
judiciary without loss"

DRESSED BEEF AS A TARGET.
Two Army Officers Suggest That It Be
Used In Bayonet Practice.

USED IN 5a yonet FractIce.
Punctured steaks and perforated
roasts will be the fare Of Uncle Sans
soldiers hencefolth if the recommended
tons of two army officers who have
been revising the manual OF bayonet
practice are accepted.
These officers declare there is too
little realism In the life of a soldier to
make him a good lighting man. and
therefore they recommend that they
use dressed beef as a target in practtc-
ing thrusts with the bayonet. Not IN
til the soldier has actually felt his bay
onet plunge into raw meat and learned
to withdra il from real flesh in readi-
ness for another deadly job will he
be prepared to carve up the enemy on
the field of battle. these officers de-
clare
There would be no additional ex-
pense attached TO this practice. II is
argued. because the sides of beef used
for bayonet practice could be borrow
ed from the company kitchens and re-
turned after the bayoneters had finish
ed with them. Clean bayonets. it is
added. will be sufficient protection of
the stomachs of the men who are TO eat
the beef
Thus far in their course through the
various offices of the war department
the suggestions OF these two officers in
this respect have not met with any
markedly enthusiastic reception.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF
MUNICIPALITIES FAVORED.
Movement Insuaursted For National
Cooperation In Solving Problems

In the American City for January
the esta blishment of a federal depart
ment or bureau of municipalities is
strongly advocated by several writer's
of prominence. The subject Is intro
duced by Philip Kates. lawyer and city
planner. of Tulsa. Okla, who points
out the fact that the modern municipal
ity is essentially an Industrial and not
a political problem. Says Mr.. Hates:
1.-THE idea that the city problem is a
national problem. IN the same sense
that agriculture is a national problem.
may seem strange to those who regard
the city as a local political unit, and
not part of the great industrial life
of the nation There are great MI tiOn-
al organizations whose work is slowly
educating the country to regard the
city problem In its proper light. but
these are nonoficial organizations, sup
ported by voluntary contributions OF
public spirited citizens.
THE work Is too vast for private
support 1t is too important for vol
untary effort. II we would solve the
problem for the future the federal gov
eminent must take up the work"
Further light on the need for federal
cooperation with municipalities is
thrown by letters in the same issue of
the American City from Hon. William
Dudley Foulke. president Of the Ma
tional Municipal league: from Hon.
John MacYicar. president of the
League of American Municipalities.
and from J. Horace Mcfarland. Presi-
lent of the American Civic association.
In its editorial comment on this sub
iect the American City likens the
United States TO a great university
md the cities. towns and villages Of
he country to schools wherein munic-
pal problems are being studied. 1t
emphasizes the folly of depending on
ocal experience when in many cases
here is similar experience gained else
where which might serve as a guide.
That the administration Of the city of
might be placed under the
direction of the proposed department
IT bureau of municipalities. and that
he Capital City might thus become in
eality an experimental school of mu-
Iicipal betterment for the nation as a
whole. is one of the interesting sugges-
ions offered
