Populace Impatient to Know Which
District VIII BE Called Upon.

Stockholm.-An experiment in
mobilizing the Swedish army is about
to be made on a large scale by the
government in order to see how the
system introduced in 1901 will work
in time OF war. Recent reports Of
the forward movemnt of Russian
troops toward the frontier and much
interest to the test No one has any
idea which section of the country
will be mobilized, and the public Is
becoming impatient for in the mobil-
ization district it means that practi-
cally every man over 81 and under 40
years of age will be called upon to
bear arms during the maneuvers.

URGES ACTION ON SUBWAY
Wilcox Asks Estimate Board to
Approve Contracts.

Chairman Wilcox of the Public Service
Commission addressed letter to the Board
Of Estimate yesterday, calling attention TO
the need of having that body approve the
contracts for Sections "a and il of the
Broadway Lexington avenue subway be-
fore adjournings for the summer. He also
stated that contracts for other sections
would probably be ready to be let in Au-
gust. and 1t was important that they be
approved TO obviate delay in construction
work.
If the contract for Section "a. which in
cludes the Canal street station, is not sane
toned at once, Mr Wilcox says, the com
mission will have TO consider the advisable
ity Of stopping work on Sections and 3,
which adjoin "a on either side. The reason
Is that recently the authorities decided 10
change "a TO provide a physical connection
between the Broadway line and the Canal
street crosstown line at the Canal street
station. This will mean slight changes in
the plans for Sections and 3.
1t is thought that the board will be ready
TO approve Section Il, which includes the
Harlem tunnel and Section "a nt the spe-
cial meeting called for Monday. 1t is likely
that the board will adjourn at that time
for the summer, so far as ordinary work
goes, but subject to the call OF the chair
If pressing subway matters come UP.

ST. PAUL COMMON At PAR.
Lowest Since 1907 Panic-Poor
Earnings for Year.

Chicago Milwaukee & ST. Paul common
stock touched par yesterday its lowest fig
ure since November 1907. in which month
1t declined TO 93i2. its high record Of l99as
having been reached about a year previ-
ously, in December, 1906. The break OF yes
terday was taken to indicate a reduction
In the September dividend, on which the
directors will act toward the close OF this
month.
From 1901 until 1911, inclusive, the divi-
dend rate had been maintained at per cent
bp in March Of this year a semi annual
dividend OF 2l2 per cent was declared, bring
ing the stock down TO a per cent basis
and in view of the showing made by the
earnings it is believed by Wall Street that
a further cut is to come In the dividend
rate For the eleven months ended May 81
the operating income was about $3.50 0co
less than for the corresponding time in the
preceding fiscal year. and the net earnings
were much under the sum required for
paying per cent dividends. Unless addi-
tonal income shall he obtained from some
source not now perceived, the earnings for
the fiscal year will give only about per
cent on the Sll6,SiS.2OO common stock.
ST. Paul rallied 10 i00Ss at the close, net
loss for the day of rs points. Its high for
this year was ll24, on April 6.

THE COTTON MARKET
An Easy Start, Followed by New

Short interests in cotton found It hard
work to buy yesterday, and only succeeded
in doing so after prices had begun jump
which led to new high levels for the season.
Offerings were extremely light. and even
moderate buying sent prices upward with a
rush. There were spots of dulness in the
forenoon, but no weakness was manifested.

ton Is remarkably strong. The South has

more e. Ohio Railroad, and z. II. Morrissey,

were instructed TO choose the other five
arbitrators within a given time. falling in
which the five men were TO be chosen by
Chief Justice White of the United States
Supreme Court, Judge Martin A. Knapp, of
the Commerce Court. and Charles F. Neill
United States Labor Commissioner
These three eventually appointed the five
arbitrators needed, who are Oscar S. Straus,
former Secretary Of the Department Of

ber of the ST. Louis bar
Il consider this will be the most inn
portant matter ever brought before an ar
bitration board for adjudication" said Mr..
Straus Never before has an industrial
question involving such large interests been
taken up in this way. In case OF strike,
which has been averted by the decision to
arbitrate, there would have been incon-
venience and suffering among millions Of
people who are not concerned in the dis

MAY DELAY WABASH PLAN
Protest Made by Missouri Pacific
and Other Stockholders.

Announcement of the plan for reorganiza-
ton OF the Wabash Railroad Company may
be deferred. 1t is reported. because of a
protest which has been filed with the bond
holders protective committee by the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway Company. Jointly
with certain large individual holders OF
Wabash securities, their objection being
that the distribution OF new securities pro-
posed under the plan is not large enough
in view of the heavy assessment of $40 a
share which the common and preferred
stock will have to pay.
1t had been understood that the plan
would be issued this week. and some of the
members of the committee are urging its
prompt issuance, with the idea of ascer-
tanning definitely whether or not it will
command the support of the general body
OF the shareholders. If heed shall be given
to the Missouri Paciffc's protest, however,
II may he several weeks before the plan
will be officially brought out.

THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat, Corn and Oats Higher
Coffee Drops a Little.

Fears Of black rust and a report that 1t
had been discovered in South Dakota
stirred up an already nervous wheat mar
ket. and afternoon covering sent prices up
to close lql19c above Thursdays finish.
The statistical report was rather bullish,
with small interior receipts and decrease
at Minneapolis Of 10000 bushels, with
worlds shipments estimated at lO,095,CO
including North America, against 3,O34,Op
last week. Corn was steady all day, under
more active cash demand, and closed
&q7sc higher Oats had a sharp covering
movement In the July option, which ad-
vanced 2Iac, but buying for late months
was discouraged by the fine crop prospects,
and they gained only SAKE.
Dealers in coffee were not inclined to
activity, demand was SMALL bears were not
aggressive, and from an unchanged to l
point lower opening prices dropped to
close at net loss OF 4 to points. Per-
sistent reports that stocks In the hands OF
the consuming trade were small had no
effect on the cash markets, but the fact
that stocks are accumulating in Brazil led
to the hope that the cost and freight mar
ket may como down soon.

PUSHING VALUATION BILL
Measure Aimed at Railroads Aid.
ed by Rules Committee.
r-rom The Tribune Bureau, ]

Washington. July 12-The Rules Commit
tee of the House voted to-day TO give priv
ileged status to the Adamson bill requiring
tie Interstate Commerce Commission to
make a physical valuation of all the rail-
read properties in the United States. X
the bill becomes a law it will impose a
gigantic task on the commission. 1t is es-
tlmated that three years will be required
t. make the necessary investigation.
A special rule will also be reported for
early consideration Of the Lever agricult-
ural extension bill, providing federal aid
70 agricultural colleges IN the several
states.
The shipping trust came in for thrust
when the committee ordered rule to eX-
pedite consideration of the Alexander reso-
luton authorizing the Committee on Mcr-
chant Marine and Fisheries to investigate
the so-called shipping combination.
All OF these measures have been on the
calendar for several weeks. but with little
prospect of their consideration under the
regular calendar call. The action of the
committee in invoking special rules to
bring them before the House further dssi-
pates the hope Of an early adjournment.
Inc AdansOn pnySlcal NdludtloH Dill pIo-
vides that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission shall have plenary powers in ascer-
tanning the value Of all physical properties
owned by railroads. The commission is in
structed not only to take an inventory Of
the plants. rolling stock, trackage and other
property used in transportation by railroad
carriers but also to list the stocks and
londs and all evidences of Indebtedness.
In the event common carriers decline TO
respond TO the demands OF the commission
for information a penalty is provided and
power is given to United States district
courts to compel production Of books and
papers
