instance traders ought to refrain from 1t in order
not to attract attention at Washington?
The New York Times statement of the affair
certainly gives most interesting light on the Wall
Street view of suci transactions. In substance, 1t
would appear that the Street doesn't like to have
undue attention called to this system of operatng'
and thinks that such operations at this time in these
particular securities are detrimental to the welfare
of the exchange"
Ordinarily, the provincial commentator might be
restrained from discussion of such transactions, by
the fear that ignorance would make his observations
look ridiculous. But in the present instance the
Secretary of the Treasury, who is reputed to know
his way about Wall Street appears to entertain SIM
ilarly crude and provincial misgvings. The COM
mittee business conduct confesses mSgivngs, too.
The affair might at least interest Senator Cummns,
who has proposed prohibitive tax on short sales,
only to be assured with much earnestness that short
sales are very necessary.

HISTORIC HALL
REDED|CATED
BY president
Wilson Stands Where Washing
ton Stood in Old Congress
Building, Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 25.-Stand-
ing where Washington stood in Sep
TENDER, 1896, when he read his Fare
well Address to the American people,
in which he announced his intention
to retire from public life, President
Wilson to-day read an address at the
rededication of Old Congress Hall.
The building, which was the Capt.
toll of the United States from 1890
to 1900, is one of the most important
historic edifices in the country, being
second in importance only to indie
pendence Hall itself. 1t was in view
of this Importance that President
Wilson and his Cabinet and a dele
CATION from Congress, as well as
many of the foreign Ambassadors,
were invited to take part in the re-
dedication ceremonies.
Used as Courthouse.
For more than a century the old
building had been used as a court
house, for which purpose 1t was orig
lnally intended, and for this reason
even many Philadelphians were not
entirely appreciative of the historic
value of the structure.
In this building, which stands at
the southeast corner of Sixth and
Chestnut streets, forming the western
emu Oh the independence Hall group
of historic buildings, Washington was
1naugurated for his second term to
the Senate Chamber, which was on
the second floor.
In the House of Representatives,
on sthe ground floor, John Adams
took the oath as second President of
the United States. In the House
Washington read his Farewell Ad-
dress and, indeed, his annual mes
sages, and in this apartment, also,
John Marshall announced to the sad
dened nation, and particularly to
Congress, the death of Washington.
Saw Amendments Ratified.
While Congress occupied this
building the first eleven amendments
to the Constitution were ratified and
the States of Vermont and Kentucky
were admitted to the Union.
From December 6, 1880, unil May
IA, 1900, Congress sat in Philadelphia
in the building. After the capital
was removed to the banks of the Po-
tomac the building became a court
house, and continued in that service
until 1895. Ten years ago the first
attempts at restoration were taken.
but only last year the actual work
was taken up in earnest.

In Anti-Liqu War
Feminine Sleuths Tell Savannah
Chief of Police Where Raids
Should Be Made.

SAVANNAH, Oct 25.-Despite the
admonition of the Ministerial Alliance
to ease all efforts to reform, and
study the Bible" the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union forces have
been busy this week in a mysterious
but effective way
From various points in the city the
chief of police has received tele-
phone calls, with a feminine voice at
the other end of the line, requesting
a raid on grocery or general mer-
chandise store, where it was alleged
liquor was sold as well. The result
was that several violators of the pro-
hibition act have been bound over to
the higher court.
1t was, however, no easy task to
secure a conviction. In one place
where rs men were caught in the
bar the roll was called to the twenty
fourth name before rather timid
appearing person admitted buying a
drink.
