STOCK TRADERS WAIT
FOR ROOSEVELT TALK
General Belief That He Will Criticize Handling of

BY International News Service
NEW YORK. Feb. 2o.-Stocks moved
within a narrow range today, and the
close showed but few net changes OF
Importance. Steel men were Respondent
Railroad earnings showed a tendency To
improve, Another Roosevelt scare swept
over the street and there was general
desire TO walt for what Roosevelt might
say in his speech tomorrow. General
belief was that n conservative speech
would be made. and, having in mind the
part Roosevelt played in the purchase OF
the Tennessee Coal & Iron company by
tho steel corporation, IT was argued that
he would probably criticise the handling
OF the trust situation by the Taft admin"
istration. Reading was sold rather freely
because IL Is known that no segregation
will be announced soon unless ordered
by the supreme court.
The controversy over broken rails has
brought out some startling facts For
instance, ono railroad had reports on a
single day recently OF 1872 broken rails
on 500 miles of track. Railroad mon say
that the number OF broken rails during
the bitter cold season must have amount
ed to 1000 on some days.

BURGLAR ENTERS
HICKS RESIDENCE
Enters House at Eight O'clock Last
Night, But is Frightened Away
and Gets Nothing.


The residence of Miss Lillian
Hicks, at Elizabeth and 9th streets,
was entered at o'clock yesterday
evening by an outsider. Whether
or not the entry was with the intent
to steal is not known, as the man was
scared away and nothing is missed.
The fact that some one was in the
house other than the usual occupants
was made known in a strange man
ner. A lighted lamp was on table
in a room at that time unoccupied,
