DEMAND FALLS OFF.
Leading Stocks Weaken, But Some
 SPeciaIties Make Further Gains.

New York, Jan. 29.-Gains made among the standard stocks on yester- days rise were considerably reduced today. Apparently the most pressing requirements of the short interest had been satisfied and the demand fell off, with a resultant weakening in market values. This was especially true among leading stocks such as Read ing, Union Pacific, Steel, A1nalgamat- ed and the Hill shares. The special ties fared better. There was little pressure against these stocks and some of them made further gains. News from London that peace negotiations had been broken off was followed by the most active selling of the session. Although the conclusion of these nego tiations had been definitely forecasted and the news had no pronounced in f1uence on speculative sentiment, bear traders were able to utilize this de- velopment with some success-s In the same way bears profesSed disappoint- ment at the quarterly report of the steel corporation on the ground that earnings were not as large as some estimates had called for
 A factor which, in the opinion of many traders, was detrimental to the general market was the movement in the American Can stocks which have brought them into prominence during the last week. Can common sold to- day at 40 34. as compared with 2S 1-2 last Wednesday. The preferred in the same time rose from 115 3-S to 129. The spectacular fluctuations in these issues apparently were the result of bold manipulation, and the standard issues today did not follow the lead thus given. There were. however. a few stocks which developed conspicu- ous strength Harvester continued it's advance, moving up five points. Southern Pacific was in steady demand and rose over two points, buying hav- ing been stimulated by rumors con- corning approach of an agreement in the negotiations for dissolution of the Hartman merger. Illinois Central was stronger on the appearance of the De- cember report showing a net increase of S708,000
 Bond prices were somewhat easier. Total sales, par value, $1,875,0 1000.

WOULD OPEN OLYMPIC
 GAMES TO PROFESSIONALS S
President Willis Favors Bringing To- gether Best Athletes of the World.

London, Jan. 29.-At the annual din- ner of the South London Harriers club tonight, President Willis, who said the club was the pioneer in international athletics, made the startling proposal that the next Olympic vgames should be open to both amateurs and profes- sionals.
 Without any direct reference to the Thorpe incident. he contended that the line between professionalism and am- ateurism was less sharply drawn in other countries than in England, and that therefore England was not in the same position to compete as other countries. He argued that until the Olympic games were thrown open to the professionals and the beth athletes any country was able to produce were brought together, Eng1ands position as the premier athletic country of the world could never again be attained.
 Sporting Life commenting on the Thorpe incident, completely exonerates the Amateur Athletic union of the United States and thinks that it's am pie apology should be accepted in tae spirit in which it was offered.

DELEHANTY WALKED.
Hadn't the Carfare to Take Him to
 Ills First Job.

Few baseball players today want to go back to the good old days" re- ferred to by the veterans. In the good old days clubs seldom advanced transportation to the recruits and it was up to the latter to report the best way they could. AS result, the re- cruits generally tied up with some club in their own neighborhood Ed Dale- mighty batter, made such 8 choice. Ed, who had acquired local fame as batter, was in receipt of offers from several clubs. He picked Mansfield.
 J. H. Knise1y of Toledo, who was one of the packers of the Mansfield club in those days-back in 1386-tells the story of Delehanty's professional debut as follows:
 Six or seven of us business men raised enough money in Mansfield to lease a field and fence 1t in and build a grandstand. also obtaining a fran chise in what was called the Fri state league. I was made the Secre- tary. Then we set to work signing players. Delehanty was among those we, wrote to. We had heard how he was batting like a demon on the lots in Cleveland and went after him. We did not send him any money. We mere ly told him that if he would come to Mansfield we would give him a trial.
 Tt never occurred to us that he might not have money to pay his transportation, but it seems his folks objected to his playing ball and re- fused to let him have any. But that did not stop Ed. He wanted to be- come a professional and started at once. He rode freights ca the Big Four as far as Crestline and then started to walk the remaining twelve miles to Mansfield. The roads were not paved in. those days and there were no trolley cars to help him along.
 "But luck was with him. After he had trudged along for four miles, Dr. Craig of Mansfield overlook him and gave him a lift,~ letting him ride the remainder of the way. Ed came at once to my office not stopping to wash away the signs of his dusty journey, He was also very tired and very hun gry. In fact. he did not look much like ball player of today who enjoys a salary of $5,000 8 season and dresses like matinee idol,
 He was a different man, however, after he had had a bath. a big dinner and new suit of clothes, We signed him at once and he played the next day and made good right at the start, He began as a second basemah, but played nearly every position on the diamehd before the season was ever,. He was 8 natural born ball player and placed Mansfield en the map in the baseball Wor1d.''

Rrvan and thus converted the secre.
 tary of state. Or 1t Is possible that
 Daniels has given up his idea
 of running second on Bryan's tickcs
 when the latter gentleman knifes Will
 son at the next democratic conven-
 ,ion. I;e the reason what 1t may, We 5o moi hear so much tsese days from
 Bryan about small navy. When
 bs was outside throwing stones 1t was n different matter from being instd. . where he will have to sweep up the broken glass if the windows are brok-
 on. It is quite possible that both the secretary of state and the secretary Of the nayy have learned a whole iot about national defense and prepared
 ness as a preventative for war since they have been In touch with bigger things than a country newspaper in the south and more or less precari-
 ous existence as lecturer and political aeitator. Anyway. Daniels. with or without Bryan's permission. has come out in favor of keeping the navy up to its present strength by continuing the two battleship a year program. Both gentlemen have probably learned that without an adequate navy we will ma ourselves laughed at just as much when we talk peace as when we tax war. The policeman with night stick can stop a fight a good deal quicker than the unarmed man. If we would influence the world for peace we must be prepared for war If we would keep Europe out of our affairs in this hem isphere we must be able to back our talk of the Munroe doctrine with ships If we would keep Japan from the con
 trol of the Pacific we must have bet ter navy than has Japan and unless we are willing to turn the great Pan- anna canal over to the first power. Flu ropean or Asiatic. that feels like taking fl away from us, we must continue to build ships. This matter of a navy may become of vital importance to AL aska. Alaska has absolutely no de- lenses. She is absolutely at the mercy of Japan should war come. The United States could not even ship troops and arms up here after war was declared
 They cannot come by rall and the western ocean, especially up here in the north would be secured by Jap cruisers. Our own small fleet could rot leave the coast unprotected t0 come up here. if 1t ever succeeded In getting to the west coast at all. II should be a very cheering thought to Alaskans and those having interests In Alaska to know that with education in international affIrs Bryan has stopped talking about a Quaker navy and his satellite Daniels has learned enough about the department and service thai he heads to know that any policy oi naval retrenchment would he suicidal Let us hope that the political theoris' continues to learn of the nneds of tho finer points of world diplomacy and
 that the editor secretary of the nav,
 continue to learn of the needs of th' service he heads. The fact that Dan icls wants more ships and that Bryar has stopped yelling peace at any price

Secretary of the Navy Daniels of course doesn't know very much about the navy, he doesn't know any more about the navy than does the secrs- tary of war about the army. It Is s- queer state of affairs fin this country that permits of the two departments dealing with the national defence to be headed by men absolutely unfitted by training for the places they occupy. Daniels is newspaper man, a very able newspaper man and politician who happened to get "I the right side of the fence at the right time. He Is one of the principle rooters for ihe Honorable William Jennings Bryan and Bryan doesn't believe in battle-
 ships. IL would he supposed therefor that Daniels. like the fiddle to which
 he plays second would rasp out n tune that wlned peace and lack of prepar-
 edness. In all probability that is just
 what Mir. Daniels would have done stI
 months ago. Hut in the last SIX
 months the secretary has snelled less printers ink than formerly and good deal more salt water than he ever knew existed until Bryan put him in Will
 sons cabinet. At the same time the
 secretary of the navy has bcon brought into contact with and nb-
 sorbed some of the knowledge of men who have made the navy and natioAal defense lifc's study. IL is more thaH likely that on some hillerious evening over the grape juice bowl Daniels has confided some of thu things he has picked up about the navy {" his friend

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, OCT. is, 1913.

Things are lnnking up. After all We are not in such n had fix. All ovcr the world people are having a harder time than we are here in Nome. We are better off than the people in the towns cf Mexico who are daily being mas sacred and robbed. We are better of than the people in the new repnb- lie of China who nre cutting each others throats and blowing each other up. We arc better off than the pco
 pie in Ireland where a great strike Is putting the fear of starvation and riot into the hearts of the workers. We are far, far better off. and were better off even in the midst of the great storm, than the people who were aboard of the Nolturno when she was burned at sea and they had their choice of death by drowning or being incinerated by the dcvouring flames. We are lots better ofr than lots of peo- pie In lots of places. The town is get ting together again. Business. in stead of being crippled by the storm Is going to be better than if we had not had any storm. There is plenty of work now for anyone who wants to work. There arc lot of things that the people will require. will have to have, that the merchants will have to furnish. The merchants will be able to turn over their stocks to advantage. There Is going to bc a good deal of money paid out by the city and by the committee handling tho relief funds. This money was not earned here in Nome. It did not come into tho treasury by taxing the people Of Nome and yet every penny of 1t will he spent here in Nome for the ulti- mate good of Nome and the citizens Of Nome. Dc tho relief fund what 1t may. 1t Is hound to help everybody and the city. If we get only twenty-five thou sand dollars it Is as good as if strike of that amount had been made and had tn bc spent ai once right hero. If VIC get fifty or hundred thousands dollars it Is just bigger strike. And it all has to be spent In Nome this winter. It will be spent many times because everybody needs things and cvrryb"dy that gets any
 NDnq D1 H. or very little of IL will get outside this winter. There will bc money to buy things with and things to buy with the money. That in tho last analysis is nothing moro nor less than business and where there is business thcrc is bound tn hc prosperity. Thcr can not he one without the other. Every one who doos business this winter in Nome will be prosperous.
 The business prosperity "f any city makes the prosperity of thc whole popuiation for there cann"t Io the one without inc other. Nome Is better oH today than whc was before the storm. There nrc better prospects. hcttcr chances md abnvc all there Is work to do and commodities to selI and there is going to he tho money 1" Imy for hoth. nf courxc their arc some wh" have hccn hit pretty hard by tho storm.

 contemplation uf their own personal condition and take Il broader view.
 The city of Nome is better off by
 thousands of dollars in rcal money
 than 1t WAS week ago. This money
 has got to be spent. for labor or for get out and hustle for some of this money. If you can work go rustic up Il, job and swing to some of the cash. If you have something tD sell get 1t out display it, put [. sign on 1t and advertise 1t in the papers. Everybody reads tile papers. That is one of the good things about q place like Nome, everybody does read the papers. lf you want tO interest tho people who are going to get these thousands of dollars that are coming to us you will have to let them know what you have fin exchange for it. There Is only one way If you want job advertise. If you want workers advertise. If you want to rent or buy or sell house. 0 d, ertise. If you have an inviting stock of goods and want to let tho other fellow know about 1t advertise. Go to any city In the world. Look up the most prosperous business men and you will find them the largest adver- tisers. They do not advertise because they are prosperous. They are pros porous because they advertise. Its an old question and has been statistically figured out time and time again and 1t is proven beyond a doubt that ad- pays. and pays we'll.
