WALL STREET HAS MOST EXCITING DAY
 IN SEVERAL MONTHS
Transactions in Union Pa cific, Steel and Reading Comprise 60 Per Cent
 of Days Output

New York. December 11.--Wall street went through one of it's most exciting days of the year today Leading stocks sold at quotations approaching the low record of 1911, and the 25 active rail the usual table of averages escaped only by a narrow margin, reaching their low level for that period.
 Excitement converged chiefly about Union Pacific, which had shown marked weakness ever since the supreme court s decision ordering its divorce from South ern Pacific. Sales of Union Pacific today aggregated 235,00o0 shares, or about 20 per cent of the total business. The stock sold off to within one-eighth of point of it's low price recorded early in the year. Sales of United States Steel were even more extensive, approaching 30O0OO shares, but the support accorded that stock at critical periods resulted in only nominal loss for the day. Reading was the third most active issue, with substantial net loss. Combined offerings of these thiee stocks comprised about GO per cent of the total output of 1,25500O shares.
 The day was the most active of any since the presidential election. When Union Paciflc was precipitately declining countless rumors and reports were cur rent on the exchange and throughout the financial district none of which, how ever, threw any light on the situation.
 Hartman Officials in Capital
 The fact that Chairman Loyett and other Hartman officials were in Washing ton conferring with representatives of the government, presumably in connection with the merger decision, was not known in Wall street until the end of the mar ket session.
 Bankers associated with the Hartman properties declined to discuss the action of Union Pacific in the stock market be- yong expressing the opinion that the sell ing appeared to have its origin in the op- erations of an aggressive bear party.
 Among the circumstantial rumors of trs day was one to the effect that Union Pa cific's continued weakness and today's especial decline represented the com pulsory liquidation of pool whose hold ings averaged price considerably higher than recent quotations.
 Union Pacific's annual report issued in the course of the day offered another eX- ciise for the decline in the stock. The report showed earnings of 13.s per cent on the common shares compared with l6.6 per cent the previous year
 There also were persistent reports that the merger decision might result in d tenn porary reduction of the Union Pacific div idend if, indeed, such disbursements might not be altogether suspended. Un- der the merger decree Southern Pacific is enjoined from paying any dividends to Union Pacific pending the segregation of the two roads.

Made No Investigation

Did you maze any investigation of the reports from President Ryan and Herbert S Hoclsin that McNamara was kidnapped and that the prosecution was a frame-up by the authorities?' asked District Attorney Miller.
 "1 knew only what learned from Ryan and Hockin." answered Cunnane.
 Did you believe after McNamara was taken to California and charged with murder and before he pleaded guilty to dynamting. that Ryan and Hockin had any knowledge as to his guilt or inno- cence?'
 "I believed so then"
 Do you believe now that they had that knowledge then?n asked Judge Al bert E. Anderson.
 No, l don't believe they did
 Cunnane said he did not oppose Me- Namara's reelection as secretary at the Iron Workers convention in September, 1911, while McNamara was in Jail. lie also testified he received a letter from Ryan saying in reference to members Of the National Erectors' association: You are to use the funds in any manner that will delay or add to the cost Of the work, ' but he denied that 1t implied the use of violence

per connected the two suicides at the same hour as something decisiyely more than mere coincidence.
 As soon, however, as the detective had left the room the inspectors whole manner changed. With the glitter of excitement in his alert eyes he turned to me and explosively said:
 Quick. let me see that yellow scrap"
 I had placed 1t carefully in my wal let after he had refused my request. As I drew 1t out now he almost snatched 1t from my hand. Putting it on his desk beside the torn envelope, he picked up reading-glass and studied both pieces carefully. His in spection lasted for several minutes, and meanwhile, I. too. studied the torn envelope.

 The doctor hesitated.

He explained that he was the guardian of a boy who was in boarding school. The child had some slight throat trouble and he wished me to make an examination. On the following Saturday he brought the boy here. bright little chap about ten"
 Do you know the boys name? What school did he attend?" The inspector fired this question rapidly. but It was quickly apparent that the doctor had nothing more to tell. so We left.

 The simplicity of his logic amazed me. It was like a conjurers trick aft CT 1t has been explained, or like one of those puzzle pictures with hidden faces. You work hours trying to find them. and after you have found them you wonder how you ever happened not to see them.

BIG TRADE IN COTTON GOODS
Gains In Manufactured Material Have
Been Very NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
With China Doubles.

It is a matter Of peculiar gratifca-
ton that as the years go by this coun-
try is sending abroad more and more
Of manufactured cotton goods. This
means, Of course, that instead Of
sending the raw cotton abroad to be
manufactured elsewhere, as is still to
80 large an extent the case, the peo-
pie of this country are gradually
reaching a position where the cotton
viii not only be grown in America but
will be manufactured in America, says
the Manchester Union. The gains In
manufactured cotton goods exported
during the past eight months have
been very gratifying. In February
alone such exports were valued at
S3.290,795, as compared with $685.
S93 in February, 1911, and with ST.
106,648 in January. 1911. For the
eight months period in each year the
exports were s~20,264,591 in 1912, $751;
059, 745 in 1911 and $12,745,689 in
1910. Notwithstanding the political
agitation in China, trade with that
country was more than double that
Of the previous year for the eight
months period, and this Is a fact
which does not appear to be capable
Of explanation on any other ground
than that Of a growing sympathy with
the people Of the United States.

VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charms for tho Tourist In
This Picturesque City
Of Italy.

To the %wanderer in Italy, Venice
has a peculiar attraction. Arrive there
at sunset, or, better still. by moonlight,
and you will fancy yourself trans
planted to some city Of dreams. With
daylight this feeling may wear off to
some extent, although there Is never,
at any time, as much hustle and stir
in Venice as in other towns. Morning,
noon or night, Venice has a fascina-
ton all her own. This Is partly due
to the fact that she is a city built on
the water.
To explore Venice and to become In
timately acquainted with her, a gon-
dola Is not a necessity, rather 1t Is q
luxury for sunset evenings and moon
light nights. It is a delightful ex-
perience, and not a difficult one, to
find ones way about Venice on foot;
quaint, old world corne are discov-
cred, bits Of ancient architecture,
carved doorways and little bridges,
with a feast Of color here, there and
everywhere. Apart from all the
beauty Of scenery, there Is the en-
thralling interest evoked by her his
tory and traditions.
Among the traditions we read that
st. Theodore was the first patron
saint of Venice, to be superseded later
on by st. Mark. The wanderer In
Venice becomes familiar with the
Lion of St. Mark. More prominently
than anywhere is it to be seen on one
Of the columns on the Piazzetta,
whilst on the other Is st. Theodore.
These columns Of beautiful red and
gray granite are supposed to have
come originally from Syria. They
were erected by a Lombard engineer.
