LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The bid for Graphophone common stock
at today's meeting Of the stock exchange
advanced from a to 4S. One of the bro
kers said that was the bid in New York
today. Two shares were offered for sale
at the bid price, but no more stock was
offered.
On the supposition which is held by
those familiar with the situation that
the payment Of a dividend on this stock
is to be resumed at the next dividend
period the current figures for the stock
mean an initial rate of at least per cent
The slightly better figures for gas stock
which prevailed at the close Of last week
continued today. Several broken lots were
wanted. and the bid was SO. The only
transaction was the sale of three shares
for S6h. At the close the bid for the
stock was IS, and the asking price half
q point higher.
Two lots of Washington Railway pre-
ferred stock sold at co. and there was a
market for more at the same level. Moth
ing was done in the other traction stocks.
except two small lots of Capital Traction
sold at 1874.
Sales were made in the bonds of the
two car line sy stems. and in the case Of
Washington Railway As quite block sold
at 8311. which IS q little better price than
the last recorded.

COURT DIRECTS VERDICT.
Jury Told to Find for Mrs. C. A.
Harding in Suit Against Syndicate.

Justice Wright today directed a jury in
Circuit Court No. of the District Supreme
Court to return verdict in favor Of
Caroline A. Harding. executrix of the es-
tate of the late Theodore A. Harding, for
the sum of S2,445.61, with interest from
July s, 1908. against the members of
what is known as the Eleventh and T.
Street Syndicate.
Theodore A. Harding was a member
corner at 18th and T. streets north
west, and was it's managing agent. rent
ing it's property and attending to all
repairs, rebuilding and other disburse.
mentS. After his death his widow, as
executriX, presented an account with
the books from an agreed date in 1903
to the date of Mr.. Harding''s death, and
after examination of the same. the
syndicate. Mr.. Emmons S. Smith pre-
siding, passed a resolution accepting
$2,445.61' as the amount Mr.. Harding
had paid out on the syndicate account
over and above the income of the syn
dictate, and directed an assessment be
levied to pay the debt.
scind the action. whereupon suit was
brought. The syndicate defended on the
ground that Mr.. Harding was d member
of the syndicate, and the estate could not
sue at law on the account stated, but
only in equity, where there must be
full accounting of all the affairs of the
syndicate from it's inception, but the de-
Tense was held not we'll founded. The
Harding estate was represented by Ma
son n. Richardson and Charles IL. Merrill

TO PREVENT HARDNESS.
Electric Clocks Being Placed in P. 0
Department Building.

To helpethe clerks get to work OH
time and to prevent hardness, which, it
is explained, has grown in the Post Office
Department. due to the inadequate ele-
vator service, Chief Clerk George G.
Thompson is having new electric time
clocks established, with connections over
the wires of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company with the naval observa-
tory. A clock is to be erected at the en-
trance to each of the elevators on the
first floor of the building and third
clock on the north wal. of the inner
court
1t is claimed the five elevators now in
operation in the building. one of which
is a freight elevator, are entirely made
quate to accommodate the number of
clerks and employees who are obliged to
use them or climb the long flights of
stairs. The original plans of the build
ing. it is explained, provided for more
elevators, but the House committee on
appropriation decided that less num-
Der would be sufficient. and refused to
approve more than the five now in use
To install more at this time. it is said
would involve prOhibitive expense.
The purpose of the electric clocks is to
furnish the clerks with the standard time
so that if the crowds prevent their taking
the elevators they can ascend to where
they belong by the stairWays and thus
avoid hardness, which is strictly marked
against them even to the fraction Of five
minutes.

SWAMPED BY HEAVY SEAS.
Capt. Ross Tells of Accident to
Schooner.

Seas from one of the big government
tugs running between the navy yard here
and the proving grounds at Indian Head,
Nd, are said to be responsible for the
swamping of the two-masted schooner
Caroline H. Mears off Indian Head Sat
urday night.
According to the story told by Capt
Ross, the master of the vessel, the Mears
was on her way to this city with a
cargo of wood when the big tug passed
her.
The seas made by the tug washed all
over the schooner, causing her to fill and
forcing Capt Ross and two other colored
men. constituting the crew Of the
schooner, to take to their small boat for
safety.
Reports brought here today by incom-
ing vessels state that the Mears is lying
on her side with sails set and is drifting
up and down the channel with wind and
tide She halls from Cape Charles. Va,
came to the Potomac about four months
ago and has been employed in wood and
lumber running from river points to this
city. She was last in port here about
three weeks ago.
