WALL STREET IS
WORRIED ABOUT
J. P. MORGAN

New York, Feb. 17.--Checking up OF
lad already weakened the speculative
position, reports of ]. p. Morgan's i'll
ness caused deluge Of selling in
Wall Street today and some stocks
fell to the lowest level OF more than
a year. Foreign houses were active
sellers, especially of Steel, Canadian
Pacific, Reading and Union Pacific,
Ltd.
Liquidation was in force also in
numerous minor stocks against which
tne1e has been discrimination on the
part of banking institutions in the
placing of loans. When the first ex-
citement wore off, prices began to
mend slowly but the recovery was
aalting and traders were cautious
about taking a definite stand.
The critical point reached in nego-
tations to avert a strike of railway
fiji emen was an unsettling factor
which helped to restrain speculation.
Bonds were heavy.
On further rally, losses were in
scme cases reduced to fractions, but
business was exceedingly dull. The
usual noon hour lethargy was increas-
e0 by desire to await development
in the Mexican situation and the fire
mems negotiations.
The market closed unsettled. Acute
weakness broke out in new quarters
and there was further selling of the
previously weak features which put
down many stools to the lowest of
the day. Missouri Pacific went off
over three points. Partial recoveries
were made later but the general move
ment was nervous and unsettled.
After recoveries of ~ had been
effected on active stocks, pressure
again developed and the market weak
ened Canadian Pacific sold over 5
points below last weeks close and
Pennsylvania reached new low lev
ell on reiterated rumors of a large
stock issue.

JOY RIDES WE'RE
HIS DOWNFALL, SAYS
AUTO BANDIT

Chicago, H., Feb. 17.-"Joy riding"
in automobiles is one of the reasons
given today by Robert Webb, con
fessed murderer of Detective Peter
Hart and leader of the Chicago's au-
tomobile bandits, which turned him
to a career Of crime. Seven of the
men named by Webb as his compan
ions in crime, have been arrested
and the police are searching for the
others.
"When | would take those joy rides
in automobiles" said Webb, Il used
to think it would be the easiest thing
in the world to hold up people in the
street and fly away in an auto. SO
started out and here | am now. If it
hadn't been for those joy rides and
the crooked loan sharks I would be
free right now and a good, honest fel.

New Mexico the new state, did the
honors today for Thomas r. Marshall
the vice president elect.
The distinguished visitor made the
occasion one long to be remempered
by delivering in the legislative hall
at the state capitol this morning, an
address so broad, so statesmanllke.
50 non-partican and so patriotic ana
truly American in it's every word'
that it made an instantaneous hit and
from the beginning to the end was
applauded by the people irrespective
of political affiliations.
Since he arrived last evening,
Governor" Marshall, as he was more
familiarIy called was the center OF
activity and if he did not see Old-New
Santa Fe it was not the fault OF the
committees on entertainment and re-
ception.
The governor" spent the night at
the executive mansion where he was
the guest of Governor William G..
Mcdonald and Mrs. Mcdonald. This
morning at II o'clock, the senate and
house entered into joint session and
the vice president-elect, was formal
ly welcomed by the people OF New
Mexico, by their state legislature and
state officials.
One of the biggest crowds that ever
assembled in the state capitol pulld-
ing filed the hall of the house Of
representatives. Despite the fact
that every foot of space available, was
used. there was not room for all to
enter and several hundred people were
unable to hear the address made by
the distinguished visitor
The hall was handsomely decorat-
ed with American flags and with red.
white and blue bunting. Above the
speakers stand were suspended the
"colors" of the First Regiment lnfan-
try N. G. of N. NJ, from the office or
the adjutant general
A bouquet Of cut flowers, red and
white. adorned the speakers stand
and huge palms were placed nearby
upon the floor Just before the speak
ing began however, several OF the
palms were removed to make addi-
1ional space for those who sought ad-
mittance to hear the vice president
elect speak.
When the joint session had assem-
bled. the Lieutenant Governor E. c..
de Baca called the members to order
and upon motion of Mr. Mabry, a
committee of five was named to es-
cort the vice president-elect to the
hail.
The presiding officer designated
Senators Mabry, Champion and Nc
Coy and Representatives. Marcos G..
de Baca and James W. Chaves.
The committee found the visitor in
the Office of Governor Mcdonald
where he was informally shaking
hands with callers, a number OF whom
he knew personally.
Accompanied by Governor McDon-
aid, the vice president-elect was es.
corted by the committee to the speak
er's stand and was given a hearty
ovation, as he entered the hall.
In a few we'll chosen words Gov
ernor Mcdonald introduced the visit
or to the people of the state. The

Washington, D. c., Feb. 17.-Presi-
dent Tafts reply to Madero's appeal
to withhold American intervention in
Mexico, sent by telegraph, was made
public by Secretary Knox today as
follows:
Prom your eXcellencys telegram,
which reached me the Nth, it appear
ed that your excellency was some
what misinformed as to the policy of
the United States towards Mexico,
which has been uniform for two
years, or as to the naval or other
measures thus far taken, which are
measures of natural precaution. The
ambassador telegraphed that when
you We're good enough to show him
your telegram to me, he pointed out
this fact:
"Your eXcellency mast therefore,
be aware that the reports which ap-
pear to have reached you that orders
have already been given to land fore
es We're inaccurate. The ambassa-
dor, who is fully informed, is never
theless again instructed to afford you
any desirable information. Fresh as
curances of friendship to Mexico
are unnecessary after two years of
view of the special friendship and
relations between the two countries,
| cannot too strongly impress your
excellency upon the vital importance
of early establishment of that peace
and order which this government has
long hoped to see both because Amer
lean citizens and their property must
be protected and respected and also
because this nation sympathizes
deeply with the Affections of the Mex.
lean people.
'Tn reciprocating the anxiety shown
by your eXcellency's message, | feel
it my duty to add sincerely and with.
out reserve that the course of events,
during the past two years eliminating
tion creates in this country extreme
pessimism, and the conviction that
the present paramount duty is the
prompt relief of the situation.
civilian II. TAFT"
Mexico City was virtually cut off
from the outside world today by the
imposition of an iron censorship.
With no direct news dispatches
from there and only one official dis
patch from Ambassador Wilson which
simply said fighting had been resum
ed and that the armstice had been
broken, President Taft and officials
waited in suspense.
The first dispatches of the early
day filtered down from Mexico City
to Vera Cruz, and said hostilities were
resumed.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 17.-Further
testimony tending to show the use of

rot recognize the odor of cyanide, but
tnat it "dawned upon her later"
She said she knew the odor of cya-
ride because she once had worked in
