cause for the deplorable accidents re-

New Y ork
Stock Market

,Ss}ssf New York, May Am outburst Of
gsatrength such as had not been wit
y nossed for several weeks radically
3 altered the appearance OF the stock
s market to-day after long period of
4 hesitation and declining prices. Such
4 leaders as Reading. Union Pacific. Steel
aud Amalgamated rose 2 to points.
Canadian Pacific scored a six-point ad-
vance. The market was broad and
Vigorous on the upturn. and all classes
tsof stocks benefited by the movement.
The reason commonly ascribed for
the change was the decidedly hopeful
tone of cable advices following the
conference of ambassadors in London
Montcnegro's reply TO the powers was
s believed to have done much to clear
the atmosphere.
II WAS probably true. however. that
Sthc technical condition of the market
WAS largely responsible for the extent
OF tho movement. Selling had gone
on so long that the short account APP
parently was inflated to an abnormal
degree. When the turn in the market
came. bear traders were compelled to
cover hastily, biddins against each
other for stocks and running up prices
on themselves.
The upward tendency of the leaders
was held i'm check during the early
part of the day by renewed liQuida-
ton of the recent weak features. over
thirty new low records for the year
were made during the forenoon While
this movement was in progress the
market was unsettled, some stocks
moving back and forth with violence.

PLUM FOR MAN Who
OPPOSED WILSON
Native of Virginia Selected for
Chief Justice of Court of
Claims.

Washington, May Edward X.
Campbell, lawyer OF Birmingham.
Ala, was nominated to-day by Presi-
dent Wilson to be chief justice OF the
United States Court of Claims, to sue
coed the late Justice Stanton ]. Peelee.
Mr.. Campbell. who is native Of Wash
ington County. Va, has been a lifelong
friend Of Representative Underwood and
Identified with all of the Underwood
political campaigns. He headed the
Underwood Marching Club at the ma
tional convention last year.
When the name OF Mr. Campbell was
first mentioned in connection with the
appointment, Alabama Democrats here
pointed out that he opposed instruct
ing the Alabama delegation to vote for
Wilson in the event Underwood could
not be nominated. Until to-day 1t had
been generally understood that he was
to be an associate justice of the court
and that one of the present members
would be elevated to the chief Justice
ship.
The Senate late to-day confirmed the
nominations of Charles P. Neill as Com
missioner of Labor Statistics, j. F. A.
Strong, of juneau, as Governor OF
Alaska. and Fl. NJ Smith as Commits
sioner of Fisheries.
The expected opposition to Dr. NELL
did not develop much strength, SEN
ator Overman combining himself to a
statement of his objections, but re-
fusing to resort to diIatory tactics.
Nearly two hours were spent in dis
cussion of the reported policy of Sec
rotary McAdoo to make changes in
the customs service and replace In
cumbents with men more in sympa-
thy with the administration"
Senator Penrose wanted an investi-
cation made of the case Of Chester w.
Hill. collector Of the port of Philadel-
phia, who was asked to resign so that
man more in sympathy with the ad :
ministration could be given his Job.
Republicans were anxious to know
what being in sympathy meant and
whether or not William Fl. Berry, NOM
mated by President Wilson for the
post, had that sort of disposition

ignation failed, with quorum not
present. and adjournment was taken.
