Bears Haze Better of Street Day-Losses Modest

MODEST RECOVERY.

NEW YORK, April 17.-wan Street
was not an especially happy place for
anyone this morning. The market
moved slowly and in favor OF the bear
element, just as II did in the late deal
ings OF yesterday, but none seemed to
care much about the market save q few
spectators. The pail over America on
account Of the Titanic disaster was over
Wall Street as well. Business goes
on no matter what happens. but II
sometimes moves In step with muffled
steps, and this was one morning when
the pace was not swift
There was to have been a conference
Of managers Of Eastern railroads to
act on the threat of the engineers to
strike, but 1t was postponed because
of the non-arrival of some of the man.
ayers until late in the afternoon. The
meeting will be held at o'clock.
1t is stated that the report of the
United States Steel Corporation for the
first quarter OF the year, to be re-
leased on April %, will be decidedly
poor one as It will tell the story of
operations at low prices. The market
is discounting this report. The earn
ings thereafter will show a decided i'm
provement.

RAILWAY COMMON,

Former Closed With IS Bid
Latter Sold to 871-2
Ex-Dividend.

Local securities were decidedly strong
er. Two old favorites again gave evi-
dences OF real strength. Washington
Railway common starteda S2h, sold
to 3k, and closed with the regular
brokers bidding freely, and no offer
ings. Apparently the period of rest and
recuperation is at an end. Nor were
the sales large at the prevailing prices
OF the session. The advance to 'S5 bid
has been accomplished with the accu-
mutation Of comparatively little stock,
save several hundred shares that were
taken in at s1h. In the meantime, pre-
ferred shares were steady at 81 to s4h.
Just what is (up in Washington re-
mains for future development. The
Street has a story Of a sale of 1,Oot
shares in New York the other day at
80. At that time 500 shares sold here
at s6.
The closing yesterday was around Sshs
ex-dividend, the latter being payable
May 1. Today the stock opened at Ssh
and sold to 81. and later to STU. Here
too. comparatively light selling met the
sharp gains.
Other securities, except bonds, were
slow. American National Bank shares
brought 1SO. United States Trust shares
eased to 155 bid and 100 asked.
In the bond market there was a good
business: the especial strength of the
session being in Potomac Consolidated
IS. which advanced to 100. City and

"The Navy in November 1910 Warned Against Sacri-

Wilbur Wright and

Wilbur Wright, at a tea in Dayton,
told in his quaint way a story about a
flyer who had failed.

Wright, "for he had no mind for me-

an integral part of flying. This poor
chap was about to go up one day when
I noticed that his motor looked queer.

Capt. Harry Smith, formerly one
Of the best-known passenger shippers
in the Pacific trade, and now in charge
of the New York docks of the North
German Lloyd Company, tells the story
of how a smart lad got job on board
ship. He.applied to the skipper OF a
sailing vessel and when asked about
his capabilities said that he thought
he could soon learn all there was about
ship.
You do?" said the skipper. well, I'll
test you with something difficult"
He picked up a piece OF rope that
was lying on the deck. Find me three
ends to that rope" said he.
The lad picked up the rope and quick
ly pointed out the usual two ends 10
the rope. Then ne coiled 1t neatly in
his hands and chucked 1t overheard.
And there's another end to your
rope" said he.
The skipper was angry at losing the
rope, but he gave the lad a Job.

THE MEMORIAL

5'NAI BIRTH MEASURE PASSES HOUSE AND IT IS NOW UP
 TO THE SENATE.

The Memorial hos s1ital bill, which carries with it the donation of two lots on Prospect avenue which are tC be given to the National BNai Birth in order that the national hospita to be established there will have more room, passed the house of representa- tives yesterday.
 Dave Laser of this city yesterday received message from Congress man Robinson, stating the measure had passed, and that Senator Clarke would now take up the measure and endeavor to rush it through the Unit ed States senate, after which it be- comes a law.
 The progress of the bill is quite encouraging, not alone to members of the B'Nai Birth, but to all who arc interested in the growth and upbuiio- ing of this city since it means that large national organization will es- tablish here a charity hospital which will be one of the most important nj the south.

NEWBRO'S
 aERPICIDE
Saves Worry, Saves Money. Saves the
 Hair.

If you want to free your head of dandruff and stop falling hair, you must sooner or later resort to New bros Herpicide.
 By using Herpicide first you save yourself worry, which is desirable, you save money, which Is a consider ation. and you save your hair, which is the most important of all.
 Why not profit by the experience of Mrs s. A. Lee. of 110 South Fourth street, Richmond, Va. who writes:
 Four years residence in India ruin. ed my hair until it was but two inches long and very thin. I tried everything in Europe and America without bene- fit until l was induced to use Herpl- eide. My hair is now long, soft and silky and natural color, while before it was quite gray. My friends never tire of admiring my hair"
 Mrs Lees story is a typical history of hair troubles After everything else fails, Newbro's Herpicide brings relief It would be just as effective if used first.
 Newbro's Herpicide kills the dan druff germ and prevents falling hair. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly. No matter what the claims of others, Herpicide Is the only genu- inc original dandruff germ destroyer

Part Of a sentence OF the speech Of

said:
Editor OF THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir: | would like to correct the
statement made In your paper on
Sept. ID. where you quoted me as
saying IN my address at the Presby-
terian service. which was held at
Washington Heights pavilion Sunday
evening, September I, that strikes
originated in the minds Of a few
leaders.
The statement I did make was.
that I often came in contact with en-
ployes who said that Unions are all
right If they we're only conducted
right When asked how they should
be conducted invariably they would
say Unions should be educational.
make better workmen. take care of
their sick and bury their dead They
are told that unions do all of that,
but how about going on strike when
our employers refuse to grant us a
demand? There is where the trou-
bic comes-'strikes originate among
few leaders, when many times the
people themselves are satisfied is
their answer
To convince my hearers that strikes
are iustiflable in some cases | recited
the story OF the great strike Of the
Egyptian slaves which history tells
us was lead by Moses.
No one who is familiar with the
labor movement of today would say
that trikes originate in the mind of q
few leaders, when many Of oui
strikes are caused by conditions he.
