UNION PACIFIC IS
BIG TRADE FACTOR
Railroad Stocks Prove Active in
New York, But Early Ad-
=
vance Is Speedily Lost.

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Interest was
attached to the movements Of Union
Pacific In the stock market today, this
issue beginning y higher. Trading In
this stock was very active, but at the
end of half an hour all the advance had
been lost At the end of forty-five min
utes. Union Pacific was Y under yester-
days closing.
There was some irregularity during
the first hour. Stocks were not weak.
strong spots. Some bulls evidently
were inclined to get out Of their holdings
in apprehension of the effect Of the Gov
ernment crop report New York, New
Haven and Hartford bonds were not af-
fected by the selling movement In
stocks, and were firm at fraction
above Ill.
BY noon the market was dull, ap-
parently resting until the receipt Of the
Government crop report.
Amalgamated Copper advanced Y and
then lost its gain. United States Steel
common was unchanged from Thurs
days final, but subsequently declined =.
Among the advances were Utah Cop
per, n; Southern Pacific, Y; Republic
Iron and Steel. y; Reading. y; Penn
sylvania, Y; Denver and Rio Grande.
II; American Locomotive. "; American
Smelling. u.
Canadian Pacific advanced a point.
New York, New Haven and Hartford
declined u to 100n. Atchison also shad-
ed. Lehigh Valley began unchanged and
then declined.
Americans In London were quiet,
above the New York parity.
The cotton market opened hrm at an
advance of 5 to IL points. There was
general short covering, as traders who
had taken a bear position Thursday on
the expectation that the weather map
would show indications of rain In the
Southwest were disappointed. Gables
were about as due, with smaller spot
sales at Liverpool
Uneasiness was expressed again over
weather conditions in Texas. New
months were strongest. August show
ing an advance of 10 points.
The Chicago grain market was az
fected by reports from Missouri that In
some parts of the State the corn crop
will be a total failure. and in others
IL will not average over 50 per cent
News of this nature, as well as gen.
orally bullish feeling in the corn mar
ket, brought further upturns Of Il to y
at the opening of the Board of Trade.
The strength In corn carried wheat u
to y higher at the opening in spite Of
the generally bearish news received
from the Old World as well as our
own and the Canadian northwest
Weather in Europe was favorable for
harvesting and moveemnt, and sargoes
at Liverpool were freely offered at con-
cessions.
The corn market had strengthening
influence on oats value, and sales were
made at high levels
The copper exports for the week end
ed August were 9,39e. or an increase
of $3.50 tons. The exports from Janu-
ary 1 were 232.62s, or an increase Of
27,434.

eliminating what you borrowde.
Mr.. George also told the witness 10
produce his bank accounts covering the
period in which he has invested or
speculated in real estate. The witness
demurred on the theory that this was
hard work and that the committee
could better obtain the information from
the banks.
'The banks probably will put me of
in gett,rg up these statements and they
v'oIld furnish you the / Information
quickly" Mr.. Kalbfus finally agreed 10
seek the information as soon as pos
sible.
Asks of Keane's Influence.
Chairman JohnHon asked a number
of question regarding the old contro-
versy regarding Michael ]. Keane's al
legged influence with the excise board.
The chairman reeIed of the names of
a dozen or more liquor dealers. asking
IL II were true that they could not
obtain a license until they employed
Keane?"
Mr.. KaIbfus had no recollection Of any
such condition. denying that Attorney
board than other lawyers named by
the chairman.
Mr.. Kalbfus showed up bright aud
early, seemingly none the worse for
wear because OF MS Br1ltlnS yesterday
Committee members, however. were late
in arriving, but when the investigation
did begin no time was lost in asking the
taz; assessor how he happened to pur-
chase lots beyond the American Univer-
sity at such low figure.
Mr.. Kalbfus testified that he and
Allen z. Walker bought twenty-six lots
from out-of-town owners. at a cost Of
s, 900. This was due, he said, to the
fact that title was complicated by old
tax deeds. Congressman George said
this was a ridiculously low price, and
the witness said:
You haven't seen the land. It is
Hike a wilderness out there. and don't
know where you could find any worse
looking lots"
Mr.. Kalbfus was rather hazy about
the location. Of these lots, but said 1t
was somewhere near the Glover estate
and beyond the university grounds.
Mrs. Mary Buckley and Mrs. Edith
Black, both of whom have sold land to
Kalbfus during the period of his opera
tons in real estate, appeared at the
committee room today In response to a
request from Chairman johnson, and
viii be called to the stand later. They
will be the next women witnesses ex-
amined by the investigating committee.

garded as Incredible in official circles
in Washington. despite the fact that
the formal notice was delivered to the
American embassy Wednesday night.
It was transmitted to the State Depart
ment last night, but was not translated
until this morning. It has been stated
that until Official confirmation Of the
report was obtained the Government
would take no action.
Justify Huerta's Course.
The confirmation Is here, and yet this
morning there was no announcement
as to what action this country would
take. Secretary Bryan refusing. after
his conference with the President. to
state whether or not Mr.. Lind would
be instructed to land and proceed with
his mission.
Statements justifying the course of
President Huerta were received this
morning at the Mexican embassy. IN Of
fcial dispatches According to these dis
patches the action was due to resent
ment against the presence In Mexico
o. former emfssaries Of the American
Government, against the character Of
their Investigations, and against the un-
these emtssaries to Washington.
These former ernissaries referred to
were Reginald Del Vale and William
Bayard Hale. Far from being unfrfend-
ly, their reports are believed to have
been decidedly friendly to Huerta.,
The dispatches to the embassy here
further state that the course Of Presi-
dent Huerta toward Mr.. Lind has met
with general appreciation on the part
OF the Mexican public.
Bryan Confers With Wilson
Secretary Bryan was closeted with the
President for nearly an hour. He had
come to the White House before any Of

Executive Offices his place in the Presi-
dents sanctum was taken by Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels. He. too, remained
with the President for a considerable
time, and refused, on leaving to discuss
the purpose OF his conference. He de-
MED, however. that II had anything to
do with Mexico.
At the same time the fact was bulIe-
tined at the Navy Department that the
first-class battleship Michigan had been
moved from Vera Cruz to Ciudad DEL

had been moved down to Key West.
