A woman sleuth!

The District Commissioners almost
tainted when they received a letter last
week from a woman, requesting that she
be granted a permit as a private de-
tective.
When they had finished reading the
letter, they decided that It would be
simply absurd to grant the request.
This woman who desires to enter the
field of sleuthing in competition with
Nicholas Carter. Old King Brady, Sher-
lock Holmes, and Larry O'Dea is Caro-
line L. Howard, of $40 First Street South
east
When the letter was received It was
referred to the Police Department for
Investigation. Capt James E. Mulhall.
of the Fifth Precinct, recommended to
the Commissioners that the request be
denied.
TT would be absurd to give this
woman the power Of arrest" read the
recommendation.
Amen" said each Of the Commission
ers, silently, as he read the recon-
mendation.
Mrs. Howard looks to be just about
fifty wears Of age, although the police say
she is sixty, and she contends that she
is ''only forty some" The would-be wom-
an sleuth was very indignant yesterday
afternoon upon learning that her request
had been denied.
Il didn't expect to have the power Of

Failure of Supreme Court to Smash
Coal. Trust DisappOints Traders,
Who Sell Timidly.
Nv THoMAs Q. sHoTWELL.

New York, May H.-Dlsappointed be-
cause the Supreme Court did not hand
down a decision smashing the Coal
Trust, traders sold stock to-day, but
timidly. Some waited for light from
New Jerseys primaries. Most were un-
able to decide what to do. and state Of
stagnation resulted Manipulation was
as rare as real trading. Price changes
were OF no importance. London was still
celebrating its holiday. and no sugges-
tions came from that quarter.
In the hope of starting liquidation false
reports are being put in circulation Of
dividend increases in certain stocks, al
though It Is well known nothing Of the
kind is intended. For instance, IL was
reported to-day that Airbrake would
pay a dividend, that Can would be-
gin in July to pay the full dividend on
the preferred, and that Smelters would
be increased to s per cent at the next
meeting. The programme in these stocks
is known officially, and denials OF these
new rumors that are sure to come are
expected to hurt the market. But the
plan shows the caliber Of the bear lead
ership.
Some Of the selling Of Reading was
due to-day to a belief that the anthra-
cite companies could be stopped In their
plan to make the use Of domestic con-
sUmers Of all the advance in wages Sc
cured by the miners.
Missouri Pacific RumOr.
Missouri Pacific has been weak re-
Gently, and to-day went still lower. The
liquidation seems to be due TO fear that
the assessment on Wabash shares will be
so large that Missouri Pacific will de-
eide not to hold its Wabash stock. The
road may even now be selling, and there
is a rumor in good quarters that a new
interest has purchased from the Missouri
Pacific the Wabash stock in its treasury.
Such a deal would put the Missouri Pa
cifc definitely west Of the Mississippi
River. The condition OF the Western
Pacific is another cause Of worriment-
The water of Great Salt Lake keeps on
rising. The tracks of the Western Pacific
will have to be removed further up the
shore Of the lake. The absence Of mining
booms hurts the new property, and where
II is in good territory IT has active COM
petition. The roads that were expected
to give big exchange business have failed
TO furnish the tonnage.
Prices Of some steel shares were ad-
vanCed to-day about a dollar a ton, but
premiums for immediate deliveries have
been advancing all steel prices a dollar
or more a ton in the last six weeks.

Getting Back to Work.

Those who are spending their vaca-
tions in the mountains or at the seashore
or on the farm or in foreign countries
are beginning to think fondly of home.
Washington is exerting a strong pull on
them, that makes them feel Indifferent
toward glorious landscape views and
sporting pleasures and rare scenes Of un-
familiar places and people. This is the
time of the year when the all-summer
trippers get to thinking Of the broad.
smooth streets, the swiftly moving. COM
Portable cars, the pleasant shaded parks
and the genial atmosphere Of their own
town. They recall the well ordered rooms
at home. the good beds. the palatable
meals from Mandy's kitchen. the tele-
phone connections that link them up with
friends. the thousand and one conve-
niences Of city life. and they become per-
fectly willing to exchange that which they
have for the old things of their ordinary
existence. This is the true benefit of the
vacation spent away from home. the feel
ing Of utter contentment upon getting
back. even the eagerness with which the
pleasures Of the summer outing are put
aside for the routine Of work. The vaca-
ZIONIST who leaves the hills or the farm or
the shore reluctantly. regretfully. with no
pleasure In prospect in the tasks that
are to be taken up at the end OF the jour
ney. has lost the benefit OF the change
and rest. It is not because the time
spent away has not been long enough.
but because the thought of work is nat
urally abhorrent. Such people are not the
constructive, progressive members OF So
ciety. They almost invariably live solely
for pleasure. The business man who has
found himself and recognizes his own

Republican or Progressive !?

COL Roosevelt seems determined. in
terms of his speechmaking at least. TO
cut loose absolutely from the old repub-
lean party. Yesterday at Morrisvilie,
W.. in the course of his speech some
one asked: rs this the progressive re-
publican party?" Immediately the third
term candidate replied:
No; IT is the national progressive
party. Some bigots would not vote for
Lincoln when he left the whig party and
some b!Gots wouldn't vote for us now.
DO you get inc? We have come to the
point where to be loyal to the principles
II the republican party you have to re-
pudiate the n1me"
Nevertheless. IL is to be noted that the
third party managers in most Of the
states are doing their best to hold on to
all the usufruct of the republican party. to
its prestige and even to its name in point
of nominations. and In Kansas have just
succeeded in getting the third-term elect
ors put on the official ballot as repub-
licans. 10 the exclusion Of those who rep
resent the desire of the people for the re-
election of Taft. 1t would seem that Col.
Roosevelt is burning with desire to break
away from the republican party every
where save in those places where his
voice is sounding for the immediate hour
OF denunciation and abuse.

cratic year." But. later. the ballot boxes

cratic year" But, later. the ballot boxes
told another story.
And Mr.. Roosevelt has twice erred IN
the same way. Two years ago. when ne
was the leading figure in the New YORK
state campaign, he addressed voters by
the acre. But on election day Tammany
Hall downed him. And last spring, after
canvassing a number Of states in his fight
against Mr.. Taft and filling streets ana
halls with cheering people, he polled In
no state as much as 40 per cent Of the re-
publican vote Curiosity. and an innate
passion for hullabaloo on the part OF the
people, had explained the demonstration.
Mr.. Wilson, as Mr.. Bryan was sixteen
years ago. is a new man in national al
fairs, and the people are curious about
him. Democrats. republicans, progress
ives. socialists and prohibitionists are
likely to turn out wherever he speaks.
They are advised that he is an able man.
and they want to see and hear for them
selves. He is not on the Bryan order
not eloquent in the stump style-nor Is
he on the Roosevelt order-not dogmatic
or abusive. But he speaks well, and his
statements are clear.
Events may prove that there are more
Wilson voters in the crowds of this year
than there were Bryan voters In the
crowds of 1896 Certainly the republican
divisions Of this year are far more serl-
Gus and bitter than were the republican
divisions that grew out of the republican
pronouncement In favor Of the gold
standard. AS matters stand today, Mr..
Wilson is entitled to the comfort he feels.
But he should not become intoxicated by
crowds, which, even when large and ap-
parently enthusiastic. are mighty on
sartin.'
