MORE ABOUT ODD LOTS
English as She Is Misunderstood in
Wall Street.
To the Editor Of The tribune.

To the Editor Of The tribune.
Sir: Making all duo allowance for the
pressure under which daily newspaper
is published. / consider that the method
OF your presentation Of the communication
from Harry g. Hamilton is an example
OF gross editorial carelessness
Mr.. Hamilton criticises certain rules
governing the execution of orders in odd
lots Of stock which he thinks could be
improved But the caption, The odd Lot
Broker-A Customer Describes How the
Small Man Is Mulcted." which your ed
itorlal department has prefaced 10 the let
ter is inexcusable In the first place. the
charge that the odd lot broker is mulcung
the customer Is untrue. and. In the Sec
ond place. your correspondent did not
make the charge.
| am sure that Mr.. Hamilton and
agree on the ACCESSIBILITY OF catering 10
the small investor. But Mr.. Hamilton Is
not accurate In the details Of his criticism
of present methods He again confuses
dealer" with broker" The odd lot
broker does not exact one-eighth each
way I'm addition TO the one-elghth COM
exacts one-elghth from the next sale OF
hundrcd-share lots. but the next sale
Is not necessarily the same as would
have taken place had the customer en-
tered a hundred-share order instead OF
an odd lot order. The odd lot order does
not affect the market: the hundred share
order does Furthermore. the odd lot
dealer stands ready 20 trade at all times
on the bid and offered prccs Of hundred
share lots.
Mr.. Hamilton states that he could not
buy twenty shares Of Copper" at IS un-
I'll his stock sold at 81. and that he was
mot allowed TO deal on the same basis
as the big man" II Mr.. Hamilton had
been "a big man and had placed his
order for a hundred shares at 63 there
might not have been u sale at CPS, and
while he would have obtained his one
hundred shares at 50 he would not have
secured any advantage by having made
his order a hundred-share order instead
of an odd lot order
Tn the actual case sale OF one hundred
shares at CPS gave Mr. Hamilton his
twenty shares AZ 50. One man bought the
one hundred shares. There might have
been scores of big men trying TO obtain
hundred-share lots at 62Is without sue
cess
This is one instance There could be
many cited where Copper was bought
I'm odd lots at 63 when hundred share lots
did not sell at 627s and where Steel was
sold in odd lots at j27s when hundred
share lots did not sell at SO.
JOHN MUIR.
No a Broadway July Is, 1913
Making all due allowance for the press
ure under which Wall street operates, it
seems as II our correspondent might have
looked up the word ''mulct" In die
tlonary before losing his temper over II.
He seems to think 1t implies some grave
crime. II IL. in fact, "a synonyme for pc
naize" or fine" The Century Dictionary.
for example, defines il as ito punish by
fine or forfeiture; deprive OF some posses
sion as penalty" II expressed exactly
what the letter In question asserted-that
the. small customer was "penalIzed" OF
punished" for being small.-Ed.l

other House. II will mean simply the doing OF lden-
tcally the same thing three times over by the same
Parliamentary body, and therefor the spending
upon ii of three times the labor and time that IL
ought To require That is wastefunesS unworthy
of the Mother Of Parliaments 1t surely must be
obvious to progressive British statesmen that 1t
would be better to remodel the House ot LORDS so
as to make il worthy to participate in legislation
equally with the Commons and then let every Dill
stand or fall according to its disposition in single
session.

Whittier Are We Drifting" in Mexican
Relations
Relations !

If YOU drift long enough you'll strike snag, is
an old aphorism of river boatmen which is fulfilled
in the present crisis in our relations with Mexico
For FIVE months we have been drifting. Now we
have struck a snag The Presidents precpitate
summoning Of the Ambassador to Mexico back TO
Washington for personal conference may be deslr-
able. even necessary as it is to get your boat of
the snap. But how UNNECESSARILY better it would
have been to steer course instead of drifting, and
thus to avoid an embarrassing if not humiiating
necessity.
For there is something little short Of humiliation
in the close sequence between the British repre-
sensations and this sudden activity of our State
Department We may reject the suggestion that
the former were the direct cause Of the latter but
we cannot prevent the obvious inference that at
least this Unprecedented act of a foreign power
oponed the eyes of our government to the need OF
uromptly adoLting a more coherent and authorlta-
five policy toward Mexico. The ambassador has
NOT been summoned to Washington at Great Brit
oin's demand: but he has been because Great Brit
min has called attention to a state Of affairs in
Mexico which seems to the President to require con-
sideration i'm such a personal conference as is now
purpOsed.
But why was such action so long delayed: 1t IS
now about five months since Mr.. Madero de
posed and murdered and his place was taken 10y
General Huerta In all that time the Washington
government ought to have been kept fully and ac-
curately informed of the state of affairs in Mexico
If should be a natural and justihabe assumption
that it has been And yet if it had been, what
would be the need Of this hasty call for the ambas
sador to come to Washington?
It has been entirely obvious since the beginning
If the Maderist movement against Porfrio Diaz
that the United States has OF its hands in Mexico
a diplomatic problem Of exceptional delicacy, in
ricacy and Importance That fact should have in
dicated conyincngly the course TO be pursued. For
such problem is not to be solved by sitting still
and musing over il. 1t has been well to avoid any
Thing like intervention but such avoidance is some
times affected by positive rather than by negative
seans by resolute steering rather than by irresoue

drifting. 1t may not be easy now 10 repair '"o
mischief which has been caused by nVe months u
drifting but il does mean much that the adihiniS-
traton is at last aroused to the necessity OF dohS
something to that end. If il adopts Il poilcy OF
information vigilance and resolution Wl'h motives
and reasons vndicaed in the eyes OF the world II
will not lack patriotic support at home or respec'
and confidence abroad.

THE GRIDIRoN BOROUGH
A Call Is Issued for a Beautiful
Brooklyn Ticket.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I observe that two Of our dlstin-
guished public officials are contesuns Tor
the honor of having given Beautifui
Brooklyn its new title. Gridiron Borough
Each IS claiming that he did IT, and each
Is asking for his reward.
II is unfair that these political aspirants
should be on separate tickets. They
should be yoked together on an inde-
pendent ticket. so that Beautiful Brook
iyn can vote to approve or dlsapproNe
its "Gridiron" title.
Where are our Progressive Demo
Gratis? They ought to come TO the AID
Of their Democratic friends who have 80

CORDOVA, Alaska, July 25.-The
greatest stampede of late yeasr Is now
in progress to the new diggings on the
Shushanna. The confirmation of the

since the palmy days of the Nome rush.
and from all quarters of the country
men are fastening at all speed to be
early on the ground before it Is all
taken.
From every camp throughout the
Copper river valley comes the report
that men are leaving the mines and
Joining the stampede. 1t Is said that
so many men have left the placer

ment Of the cases which the district
attorney was so anxious to bring to
trial.
1t SO developed that Anthony Cant
netti. father Of one Of the defendants.
had recently been appointed United
States commissioner of immigration
under the new administration. When
preparations for the trial Of the young
defendants were completed the new
immigration commissioner requested
that he be granted leave of absence In
order that he may attend the trial Of
his son. Secretary Of Labor William
B. Wilson, who has charge Of the i'm.
migration laws, was loath to allow the
new commissioner to be away from
his Office at that time, for importan
changes had been made In immigra
ton rules and laws, and 1t was essen.
tial that the commissioner should de-
vote his time to his Office. at least for
the first several months. AS a result.
Mr.. Wilson, secretary of labor. request
ed Mr.. McReynolds. the attorney gen.
eral. to order postponement Of the
Diggs- Caminetti cases until autumn 80
that the father of one of the defend
ants would not be required to leave his
Office.
Following the request of the secre-
tary of labor. the attorney general in
structed the district attorney In Cali
fornia to postpone the cases until the
fall. This incensed the district attor-
ney. who seemed very anxious to try
the cases Immediately, asserting that
If the postponement were granted 1t
would be difficult to find the wit
nesses ut later date.
Mr.. McNab then made known his in
tentions of relinquishing the Office just
as soon as he completed the cases
against the Western Fuel company
which were on the eve Of coming to
trial. His criticism Of the actions Of
the attorney general in ordering the
postponement of the Diggs- Caminetti
cases was sharp.
Following this, instructions were IT,
sued from the attorney generals Of
fee ordering the postponement Of the
Western Fuel company's cases. Then
the district attorney telegraphed Presi-
dent Wilson asking that his resigna-
ton, to take effect Immediately, be
accepted. The president accepted the
resignation. Then followed criticism
by Mr.. McNab Of the attorney general
for allowing the cases to be postponed
