STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Trading Restricted and lrregu-
lar Prices displayed at Close.

The stock market was loaded with
too many burdens yesterday to allow
il to exhibit any degree Of frmness. as
not only was il facing a three days
vacation, but the street was rife with
rumors and statements regarding
Frisco and Chicago and Eastern Ilh-
nols receiverships, together with un-
favorable predictions Of various
other corporations. Naturally, trading
was restricted, but while weakness
was shown in some specialties the
standard list as a whole exhibited
flrmness, and at the close the list pre-
scented an irregular appearance, leav-
ing the trend an open question.
At the opening, which was extremely
quiet and void Of features. few gains
were shown in stocks like Reading
Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific
while PENNSYLVANIA and Southern Pa
Cihc displayed losses. Throughout the
day. however, there was nothing in the
action Of the market to attract un-
usual attention. and price movements
were uninteresting. The attendance
was small and the session dragged
along, killing time until the close. lie
copper stocks were firm on favorable
reports affecting the metal market, but
Southern Pacific sold off on the report
made public on Thursday that the Al
torney General would force that road
10 transfer its Central Pacific holdings
unless distributed voluntarily.
About . o'clock Chairman Lovett of
the Union Pacific gave out state
ment outlining two plans 10 be pre-
scented to the attorney for approval
for parting with Unions holdings Of
Southern Pacific stock. These plans,
while covering the requirements OF the
situation ostensibly. did not convince
the street Of the ultimate success OF
either. and the consequence was that
the stock market as whole gave 1T
tie evidence Of a favorable response
10 the announcement. Wall Street re-
ceived no assistance from abroad as
the foreign markets were irregular end
American shares were inclined. 10

The statement Of the Bank Of Eng
land for the week that appeared yes
terdav was a remarkably good one in
point Of reserve to liabilities, the pro-
portion being 500 per cent, a gain OF
over a point compared with last week.
the highest percentage in over nine
wears and more than g points above
the ten-year average Of 1894 per cent
for the same period. However, the
reserve, by showing A small increase
is below the figures Of year ago anu
bullion holdings are more than Si'Tp-
600 less than the figures of 1912 for
the same week. The statement OF the
Bank of France displayed another In
crease in gold holdings which. added
10 its previous gains retained from
shipments of gold engaged in this
market places the bank In a stronger
position.
The local money market vas prac-
tically unchanged and the indications
for Saturdays bank statement point

IT IS CHANCE DAY
With Fair Weather, All Former
Records Will Be Broken.
Peerless Leader Will Play First
Elaborate Program.

Chicago. May ia thousand
Chance day enthusiasts We're lined
up in front of the boxoffice at Ameri-
can League park at 10 o'clock today
comprising the vanguard of the multi
tude awaiting the New York-Chicago
game this afternoon dedicated as a
demonstration of friendship to Mana
ger Frank Chance, former leader of
the Chicago Nationals, but now pilot
of the New York Americans.
The first ticket seeker who turned
I'D was a woman. She came at a.
m. and like many who followed car
ried lunch A cloud appeared in the
sky and was viewed with anxiety as
it grew blacker and lights f1ickered in
the windows of tall office buildings.
There was a growl of thunder and "a
million persons" as the weather man
jokingly said, called up to ask if it
would rain:
Maybe a shower this forenoon
nothing seriouS-clear this afternoon,
came the reply and the advance crowd
of seats at IL o'clock.
President ComiSkey, of the White
Sox, was early at his Office in the
grounds which were in gala attire with
flags, bunting, potted plants and flowers
and predicted the crowd would be world
championship proportions.
1t is predicted that a record breaking
crowd will cram the American League
baseball park to witness the
ceremonies of Frank Chance
day There are seats for AZ, 900 per-
sons. The largest paid attendance in
the history of baseball is SO 2S1 at the
polo grounds in New York on the OPEN
ing day of the worlds series in 1911.
The rapidity with which the reserved
seat selections were taken and the en-
thusiasm of local baseball followers
have led the management to believe
that the greatest crowd which ever
saw a game will welcome Chance, man.
ager of the New York E1ighlanders.
Every one who has any thing to do
good weather is all that is needed to
insure the largest gathering which ever
got inside ball park
Responding to hundreds of written
and telephone requests Chance will play
first base today granting Hal Chase a
rest
The game is only one of the at
fractions which occupied half the
day and most of the evening. The pro-
gram opened with a parade of auto
mobiles from Grant park to the
grounds and almost a thousand ma
t bail park the festivities began
at o'clock three hours after the
gates were open. The hour previous
to the starting of the game was de-
voted to vaudeville. athletic and musi-
! cal features At three o'clock the rival
| managers were presented with various
| tokens and the game started.
| Following the game there will be a
dinner to Frank Chance at the stock
yards and members of both teams will
be guests of a down town theater.

PETITION THOMPSON.
Reno County Wants Him to Vote for
State, Not Finney Co.

Hutchinson, Kan, May ia pc
titfon, extensively signed by Reno
county Democrats, and drawn up by
Judge John R. Beeching, a prominent
Democratic attorney, was mailed to
United States Senator w H. Thomp-
son. The petition follows:
I'VE, the undersigned Democrats
of Reno county, Kansas, wish to make
the following suggestions for your i'm
mediate consideration.
I'VE suggest that you work and
vote for the interests of the whole
state of Kansas, and not merely Car
den City, and F'inney county alone
The manufacturers of sugar and those
who would be benefited by a tariff
on sugar are very small in number as
compared with the consumers of sugar
in the state of Kansas, and the same
condition applies to wool.
I'VE further wish to suggest that
you work in accord with that party
on whose ticket you ran for senator,
and that your endeavors be in har-
mony with the present administration.
You should realize that the future
success of our party depends largely
upon the enactment of the tariff now
under consideration. We further wish
to suggest that it will be impossible
to pass the present bill unless 1t is
passed as a whole. 1t will be neces-
sary for some senators to make con-
cessions as regards their local inter-
eStS''

of alleged immortality against S. L.
Heeter, superintendent of public schools
of Pittsburg, now in progress by a
committee on citizens composed OF
bishops, ministers and business men,
took a new angle late yesterday when

malicious lie
Heeter, charged by a domestic in his
home with two serious offenses, was
tried in criminal court and acquitted.
Other charges brought on the present
investigation. The mother of the school

The annual exhibit of Harrison school
was a most successful compliment to the
staff of instructors. The years work was
set in place and friends and patrons who

higher grades.
