food Crop Prospects Offset Political Influences
WALL STREET TRADERS AT SEA, ONLY
GOOD CROP REPORTS CHECK
ING THE BEARS.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Business on
Wall street is decidedly light. Traders
are at sea over the political situation.
The probable general trend OF the re-
port of the Stanley committee was but
another burr under the tender skins of
speculators, and the raiding of the en-
tire list was only checked by the
promise Of enormous crops-as indicated
by reports-and encouragement along
this line from wheat. corn, small grains,
hay and cotton districts-the basis OF
the real national prosperity.
Against this is pitted the dread of cor
poration legislation in the event of
Democratic free trade and other policies
being put in operation through Con-
gressional enactment.
Enactment at this time of a law
against corporations holding stock in
other corporations would not have ef-
feet on corporations now holding stock
in other companies-in fact, It would
seem to give the negative sanction TO
these-but the prospect of such a law
is causing trouble.
The prospect OF legislation adverse to
"big business" Is having It's effect on
short term notes, the maturing Of which
will strain the credit of more than one
road. Offsetting this Is the promise Of
great crops, which. unless the Inter

there is no danger OF heavy liquidation

Between the two interests and the

ChalOner Wants to
Have Judge Impeached

RICHMOND. Va. July 11-Every
member Of the house of representatives
will receive by registered mail today a
petition from John Armstrong Chaloner
demanding that Judge George c. Holt
of the United States district court for
the Southern district of New York, be
impeached for malfeasance in office.
Mr.. Chaloner alleges in his petition
that Judge Holt refused to obey the
mandate of the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Southern dis
trtct of New York, which had ruled in
his favor. and thereby practically threw
him out of court. The case involved
was brought by Chaloner against the
trustees of his estate in New York
TO establish his sanity and recover his
property.
Chaloner alleges that he was placed in
Bloomingdale Asylum by false swearing,
and he now charges that his family Is
endeavoring to thwart his plan Of
deciding his entire estate. valued at

HUNDREDS OF CATS
ARE PUT TO DEATH
At DISTRICT POUND
All Victims Are Being COL
lected at Request of House
, u, holders.

Four hundred and nine tabbies have
lost all of nine lives at the hands of the
District authorities since July /. ac-
cording to figures made public today by
the Health Department, which has su-
pervision of the pound service.
On that date the regulation of the
Commissioners for the impoundment Of
cats running at large went into effect
Poundmaster Kuhn has not sought the
capture of stray felines, but has devoted
his efforts to the collection of cats upon
request.
All Of the victims have been given in
to the hands Of the eXecutioner by
owners desrious to be rid Of their pets
or by householders who have collected
the homeless wanderers, believing death
by asphyxiation is preferable to starva-
ton. The attitude of the pound serv-
ice Is In line with arguments presented
to the Commissioners at a recent hear
ing given to members Of the Washing
ton Cat Club. The suggestion was made
by Mrs. Henry L. West that instead of
attempting the capture of household
pets the pound service direct its at
tention to the collection Of the starvinS
alley cats.
Mrs. West expressed herself today as
gratifed at the work Of the pound and
announced her intention of asking the
members Of the club to cooperate with
the District authorities In the collection
Of the homeless felines.
1t is the intention Of the Commission
ers, however, to enforce the regulation
providing for the impoundment of all
stray cats. Lack Of equipment has re-
stricted Poundmaster Kuhn to the col
lection of cats upon request. but the
family pet out for a stroll unattended Is
in danger Of capture. Bids have been
asked by the Health Department on
twelve traps which will be located in
various sections of the city for the
capture of the unwary.
H c. Mclean, chief clerk of the
Health Department issued the request
today that when the pound wagon Is
called on to collect cats, the animals be
boxed and ready for delivery. Several
trips were made yesterday only to And
the cat not at home. The number oi
cats collected was fifty.

GARAGE EVILS ARE
