st. Paul Started Trouble.

The pessimistic statement of Ros-
well Miller. chairman Of the st. Paul
board. in explanation Of tbs reduction
Of ST. Paufs dividend rate from Z to
s per cent. was largely responsible for
the flood OF selling orders. The state
ment that there il no prospect OF an
Improvement in general conditions" put
the situation in its most unfavorable
light.
The more cheerful feeling Of q few
weeks ago, when expectations Of q
trade revival were widely held, had
been gradually disappearing in the
face Of diminished steel buying, poor
railroad earnings and other evidences
of disappointed conditions. The mar
ket resisted these influences sturdily
for some time, but In the last few
days there has been evident q gradual
weakening OF the undertone.
Added Significance was attached to Mr..
Miller's statement on account Of the gen.
eral belief that st. Paul Is closely assoc
ciated with some Of the largest business
interests of the country, being commonly
called q Rockefeller road

the Liverpool spot market showed con-
tinued frmness: overnight advices from
the south indicated very steady southern
spot markets late yesterday, with q con-
toinued good demand from both export
ers and domestic mills: reviews OF the
domestic goods market were more favor
able, and 1t seemed that the trade was
inclined to place more emphasis on the
ready absorption Of southern offerings SO
far this season and the prospects for big
worlds requirements.
At any rate, two or three local firms

Coils Estate Is
Further Tangled

The affairs of the estate of William
Patrick Collins, of New York, were
further complicated yesterday when
a third claim against the estate was
made by Mrs. John Coils. of this city,
second wife of the late John Coils.
divorced wife is now Niving in
New York city.
The heirs Of John Coils, a brother
of w. p. Coils, have also made an
unsupported claim against the estate,
which is valued at $3.50, 600. w. P. Col
lis. who was for many years head
credit man for Arnold. Constable &
Co, died intestate. May 6. 1910. He
left four daughters. John Coils died
March 20, 1911. He was divorced from
his frst wife. The second Mrs. Coils
has retained William Hauser, of New
York, to represent her.
The arguments are being heard be-
fore Supreme Court Justice Bischoff,
in New York, on petition of Harriet c.
Coils, eldest daughter of w. p. Col
lis, against several New York banks.
A claim put in by Lila Coils, daughter
Of John Coils and administrator of his
estate, has compelled the banks and
defendants to ask the court to make
Miss Lila Coils the real defendant.
Tt is probable that the tangle will not
be settled for several years.

State Dogs Lose
Trail of Aliens

HILLSyILLE. Va. April 3.-Re-
freshed by a badly-needed nights
sleep and the first decent food they
had eaten in many days, the detective
posses went back into the mountains
today to continue their search for
Siena Allen and Wesley Edwards.
Fanny and Topsy. the States blood
hounds, are being given another chance
at the outlaws. So far the dogs have
been handicapped by heavy rains,
which washed away all trails, but the
officers are still stalking their hopes
upon their work.
Sidna Allen has been seen several
times within the past two days. and
while no one has glimpsed Edwards,
the searchers are satisfied that both of
the men are still ranging back and
forth in a section of the mountains
that has been guarded for a week
Even when the storms drove the main
body of the detectives to the foothills
for food and shelter. a sufficient num-
Der of men remained along the roads
and in the passes to prevent the fugl-
tives getting away.

RECIPROCITY BILL
IS A LAW At LAST

a. q $3.50
TRENTON, April 3.--Governor VIII
son signed the automobile reciprocity
bill after a hearing given to opponents
and supporters of the measure
yesterday. The Governor, after both
sides had presented their arguments,
referred to the fact that a State high
way system was in contemplation and
advised the representatives of the New
Jersey grang present to get behind the
movement with a view to having the
burden of taxation for the support of
the State roads shifted from the
ties to the State.
There were some ardent opponents
of the bill at the hearing. John R.
Cox, of Hunterdon County, attacked
the bill on the ground that it was not
reciprocity at all, giving everything
to the outside autoists and keeping
nothing at home.
Don't you think it is reciprocity
when the other States give us the same
privilege we give Them" asked
Governor Wilson.
Just because the Legislature OF New
York allows Jerseymen to run over
New Workers is no reason why the
Legislature of New Jersey should let
New Workers. kill Jerseymen,' re-
sponded Mr.. Cox.
Theodore Brown, of Swedesboro; j.
FL. Douglas, and c. c.. Hulsart were n
speakers against the bill. Their chief
objection was that there was no power
of attorney provision in the act. Joseph
H. Matlack. of Moorestown, was the
only anti-reciprocity man present when
the hearing began. He was apparently
disguised at the poor showing and Die
the Governor to sign the bill.
w. Cline Crosby led off for the a
vocates of reciprocity. He said that

RECIPROCITY BILL PEN GOES
TO ASSEMBLYMAN STICKEL

The pen with which Governor Will
son signed the automobile reciprocity
bill is today in the possession Of AS
semblyman Fred g. Stickel, the
i%ntroducer of the bill, who, by the way,
is the youngest assemblyman in the
state. The pen was given to the
governor by the legislative committee
of the two motor clubs and the Trade
Board. The governor was asked to
sign the measure with this special
fountain pen, which is inscribed with
a Masonic emblem, and the forwarded
it to Mr.. Stickel.
Thetplan is to have Mr.. Stickel re-
turn the gift to the autoists, so that
they may present 1t to him in a formal
manner in the very near future.
