Sensational Drop, Nine
Points in Three Days,
Feature of Trading.

The sensational setback in Railway
common developed today. 1t dropped
back to 50. and closed with this figure
bid. The trader may take his own view
of the situation. The insiders who have
been accommodating have not sold much
stock on the down grade, although to
all appearances they have been entire
ly responsible for the depression. just
as they were for the upturn. Having
the market as in the hollow OF their
hands, as represented by one broker,
they have acted just exactly to suit
themselves and the drop from the S9ts
of Monday to so, the low and the bid
price of today, was unquestionably their
doing. 1t opened 50, sold to so. and
closed with the final sale at S0is and
80 bid. In the meantime, the preferred
was steady at 96.
Gas was weak at the opening at S5h,
but came back stronger to S5%.

Northern Pacific and Canadian Pacific Lead List
STOCKS WERE SLOW AND EASIER,
BUT WITHOUT IMPORTANT
NET CHANGES. ~

NEW YORK. April S.-The stock
market was devoid of special features,
apparently inclined to lower prices i'm
nediately following the opening recov-
ing in the second hour, but showing a
lack of enthusiasm on the uptrack that
has not been evidenced for several days.
Net changes as a rule were unimpor-
tant. The great army of ticker follow
ers, Influenced by the two-sided market
of the last few days seemed to prefer
idleness to activity, the trend to follow
having apparently ended with the un-
certainty.
The news of the morning was of a
negative character, other than as re-
lated to coal troubles, and the disposi-
tion of the Mississippi river to leave its
channel, and these had no particular in
fiuence one way or the other on busi-
ness.
1t was announced that Morgan & Co.,
would soon bring out $90.OOo,GO0 Erie
notes that have been authorized by the
The Washington times., 1912-04-03

public service commission. The state
ment had no effect on Erie, which pre-
sented u firm front.
The feature of strength in the list
was Canadian Pacific, the buying being
of the best kind and an advance OF
2Ss points or to 241h. General Electric
also moved up another point The
Hill shares also maintained a firm
front, especially Northern Pacific, which
seems to be favorite,. probably be
cause II is about ten points under the
Great Northern price. Nipper gained
a good point, Great Northern simply
remained steady.
The opening was attended with easier
tone generally and Y and u point de-
clines In Steel. Union Pacific and minor
stocks, and more serious drop in Read
ing. In the second hour slight net
gains for the day were established and
these in turn were wiped out with moft
of the list other than as specified, and
Copper, "a of, moving slowly and on
level keel.
The early hours of the afternoon did
not bring any change of Importance IN
the list other than a slight strengthen
ing Of Union Pacific.

SOCIALISM FOR CHINA
Or. Sun Says Great Revolution is
About to Begin

London, Friday, April ST have
finished the political revolution and
now will commence the greatest So
cial revolution in the worlds history
said DR.. Sun Yat-Sen, the exProvis-
ional president of China, in an inter
view at Shanghai yesterday, accord
ing to a dispatch from that city to
The Daily Telegraph. DR.. Sun adds:
"The abdication of the Manchus is
only the means to greater develop
ment, and the future policy of the
republic will be in the direction OF
Socialism
81 am an ardent follower of Henry
George, whose ideas are practicable
on the virgin soil OF China, as com
pared with their impracticability in
Europe or the United States, where
the money is controlled by the CAPT
talists."
DR.. Sun said he had the full con.
sent of the government to start a
propaganda Immediately, whereby the
railroads, mines and similar indus
tries would be controlled by the gov
eminent. The single tax system and
as far as possible, free trade would
be adopted
A dispatch from Tien.l sin, to the
Exchange Telegraph company says
that the report of the assassination
of Gen Ii Yuen-Heng, vice president
of the Chinese Republic, is confirmed

port from any other source,

TO SAVE MILLIONS
President Taft Sends Special Mes
sage TO Congress


sage to Congress
Washington, April 4.-President
Taft sent TO congress today his sec
ond message of the present year on
economy and efficiency in the govern
ment service. He recommends the
passage OF legislation designed to
save more than S11.000.O00 annually
to the people OF the United States.
Probably his two most striking pro
posals are that the local government
offices In the treasury, postofiice, jus
tice, interior, and commerce and
labor departments be placed in the
classified service, and that the Rev
enue Cutter Service be consolidated
with the lighthouse service in the
department OF commerce and labor.
BY the first change the president
SAYS Congress could effect a saving
of at least S10.O00.00O annually, and
although he gives no figures for the
consolidation OF the two services Of
the sea- in previous message on
the same subject early in the year he
predicted economies that would total
about S1.OO00O0 yearly.
The president concludes his mes
sage with an appeal to congress TO
appropriate the 100000 necessary 10
support the Economy Efficiency Com
mission for another year. with $50
600 additional for the publication oil
the commissions findings.

Way Up In Old Vermont

There's a smell of maple sugar, an
imagined steam of sap,
Tho as yet, the world old mater holds
big snow banks on her lap,
And the wind goes thro' and thro' us,
and slaps us in the face,
But we can bear the challenge, with
good and silent grace
We can easy bear the burden Of
things We do not want,
Since "sugaring" is coming, way up
In old Vermont.
March winds are all a.bluster; to
spring he holds the key,
The trumpet of the Blue Jay, calls up
the chickadee;
And here's to recollections, of child
hoods kettle, black,
That held the seething nectar, in bub-
bling sweetness back.
The smoke pursued and blinded US
but nothing us could daunt,
For We were making sugar, way up
in old Vermont
We scraped the snow crust neatly, to
spread the varnish thin,
Till hunk" OF pork was needed, to
keep the cauldron in
We did the trick by sprlnting. the
chilblains plnched our toes,
The while, bright freckles got in line
and marched across our nose;
But nothing mattered; life was new
and all a merry iaunt,
For II was sugaring for keeps-way
up In old Vermont.
Il may have been the flavor OF stick
or leaf or bark,
Which makes the mouth TO water now
and to fond memory bark.
II may have been the homefolk-It
may have been the time,
IL all was good--and hot and sweet
thrilled thro' our veins like wine
Ali well-'tis past-but the same sun
throws shadows long and gaunt
And 1t is sugaring again, way up In
old Vermont
