Wall St New York, June 9.-STOCKS-
Stocks were forced steadily up on break
ing market throughout the morning ana
prices gave in all directions The effect OF
the IMPROVEMENT late last week was soon
lost and many new low records were
reached. Reports that a fresh outbreak
of hostilities in the Balkans was not un-
likely disturbed foreign markets and SELL
ing here by London once more was a de-
pressing factor Calling of loans by banks
threw on the market stocks which were
lisaleable except at large concessions
Commission houses sold steadily and cals
for more margins were not met.
The metal stocks in particular were
weak.
Bonds were weak.
vigorous selling was again resorted to
late today when the report was circulated
that no important decision would be hand-
ed down by the supreme court before the
close of the market, If at all today. Low
records were established in Steel and
Union Pacific as well for a long list
of other shares.
The stock market was under heavy pres
sure at the opening today. Copper shares
number of new low records were reached
on the first transaction today. The Hill

LOCKOUT in K. C.
Contractors Association and
Trades Council Warning.
InteruniOn Chickering's Cause
Contractors to Act.

Kansas City, June 9.-Work on a
number of big construction works
here was at standstill, and accord
ing to the estimates of contractors
fully 1000 men are idle today as a
result of labor fight Saturday night
when $50 contractors, members of
the Building Construction Employers
association declared a lockout against
the members of the Building Trades
Council.
Officials of the employers associa-
tion said the order of lockout was be-
ing obeyed generally and on several
jobs non-union men already had been
employed They said no talk of COM
promise or arbitration would be lis
tened to and nothing but the absolute
ousting of the Building Trades Coun-
ell from the labor situation here
would settle the trouble. l.. E. Seib
erlings. secretary of the council said
at noon he had received no official
notification of the lockout. He said
the council had appointed commit
tee to visit the various works this af-
ternoon and that upon the larger
off pickets would be stationed, not
to cause trouble, but merely to keep
in touch and report upon the situa-
ton. At the time of the announce
ment of the lockout the contractors
had grown Weary of being delayed by
paltry strikes caused by inter-union
among members of the
Trades Council, and had decided that
nothing could bring these chickering's
OUT of the council. The Information
al Bricklayers union, which is not af-
filiated with the council, joined the
contractors in the fight.

first game of the series. The followers
of the blue have high hopes that she
will wind up a phenomenal season by
taking another game from Princeton
and also the series with Harvard next
week.
In the event of blue victories in these
contests the eastern college champion
ship will be decided beyond doubt.
Should Yale lose either or both series,
many followers of college baseball
would still concede the championship
to the blue nine.
Brown still holds a place next to
Yale in unofficial calculations as to the
ranking of the eastern college mines.
Harvard hopes to usurp this place as
the result of the Yale series.
The season closed for many of the
college mines last week and the end
will come for others during the pres
ent week. Long standing rivalries or
sectional championships are being set
tied with nearly every game.

MANY APPLICANTS.
They Want the Vacant Place on Prison
Board.

Many Kansas Democrats are in the
race for the place on the state penal
board, left vacant by Thomas w. Nor
gan of Ottawa, who was this week
appointed to the wardenship of the fed
eral penitentiary at Leavenworth. Ma
jor McClaughry, who has held the
place for a number of years and has
been mentioned for Morgan's place on
the penal board, is probably disquali-
fed and cannot serve. If McClaughry
is a resident of Kansas at all, he is
resident of Leavenworth county and
the Kansas law does not permit a res
ident of a county in which one of the
institutions is located to serve on the
board
The Kansas state penitentiary is To-
Gated in Leavenworth county, in which
county is also located the federal
prison Since McClaughry's residence
would be in that county. If in the state
at ALL he could not hold the appoint
ment under the state law, it is claimed.
However, there is a long list of kan
sas Democrats who are applicants for
Morgan's place. Among them are:
John Ashcroft, Hill City; s. Kuraner.
Leavenworth; Taylor Riddle. Marion:
A. P Elder, Ottawa; Ben F. Hide
brand, IIiawatha, and George Harmon,
Valley Falls.
A lively contest for the place on the
board of control to be left vacant by
Frank Brady of Oswego, is also evi-
dent. Brady has been appointed as
first assistant to Fred Robertson, the
new United States district attorney,
and will shortly resign. Among the
candidates for Brady's place, who have
already been suggested are: George D.
Thompson of lola, a cousin of United
States Senator William H. Thompson,
and William Bowes of Alma, who is

is A VICTORY.
John Dawson So Regards the Gas
Decision.

Attorney General John S. Dawson,
who has returned from Kansas City,
where he presented the states side of
the Kansas Natural Gas company's
receivership case. believes that the
state has won a great victory in the
decision rendered by Judge Marshall
and has no doubt hut that the ruling
of the federal judge will be upheld by
higher tribunals.
Tho result of the suit, Dawson de-
clares, should result in an ample sup
ply of gas and the blocking for some
years at least the Kansas NaturaTs at
tempt to increase the rates to con-
sumers. Discussing the Marshall de-
cision today. Dawson said:
Judge Marshall's decision is a
sweeping victory for the state, and
while the case will make plenty of
the public may confidently assume that
the eighteen months campaign of the
gas company to exact higher rates is
effectively blocked for a long time to
come. The fact that for the time be-
ing the federal receivers remain in
charge of the properties in Missouri
and Oklahoma is not important. think
there is no property in Missouri to
speak of. In Oklahoma, to be sure are
large sources of supply. but am bound
to believe the federal receivers will
act on the square and give us all the
gas possible. while the state receivers
who are thoroughly experienced gas
men will probably enlarge and de-
velop the Kansas field. There is no
danger of losing in the higher courts
the victory the state has won before
Judge Marshall. The judge frankly
said that his decision was reluctantly
given but it was imperative in view of
the long line of decisions of the United
States supleme court supporting our
contentious in this case

MACKSCOME BACK
Appear to Be Glass of Junior
Major League.
PhilIies Lead National, but
Giants Are Coming Strong.

New York, June 9.-One of the AK
IONS of the sporting world is that
champions. once defeated never come
back. Heretofore tradition and history
have backed up this truism manfully.
An exception will have to be made in
the case of baseball and Connie Mack S
Athletics. unless the other seven clubs
in the American League combinat ton
fall on the Mackmen enmasse.
At the rate the Philadelphia team of
the American League, is travelling. the
Ban Johnson pennant for 1913 Will be
won some time about August II and two
and one-half months be given the Ath-
letics to prepare for the worlds series
When the baseball week ended Sun
day night the Athletics had just scored
their thirteenth consecutive victory and
were ''cantering under wraps to use
a turf expression. At this stage of the
race the Athletics appear to have
everything that goes to make a win
ming team. All opposing teams look
alike to the Athletics and it will re-
quire a concerted attack to check their
winning play.
The other clubs apparently realize
this, for they are making desperate
efforts to strengthen their weak spots.
Meanwhile, the Athletics are well out
in the lead with Cleveland following
While there was no change in the order
of ranking in the Junior league, there
was evidence that several of the clubs
resistance to the flying leaders in the
near future.
In the National League. the New
York Giants playing at a steady $50
clip. passed Brooklyn and went into
second place. McGraw evidently feels
that the trading of Ames, Groh and
Devore left him rather weak in sub
stitute inf1elders, for he purchased
Harvard Eddie Grant from Cincin-
natl, where he had been acting as
utility man.
The PhiIlies at the week end still
held a lead over 100 points over the
Giants.
Both Brooklyn and Pittsburg were
unable to stop their winning career. |
The Pirates, with Babe" Adams on |
the mound brought about their only |
defeat Brooklyn's only victory came |
with Rucker in the box against Cincin- |
natl Thursday. The team failed to give |
their twirlers good support in other
games, consequently their drop to third |
place is not a mystery.
Chicago found Boston hard PROPOSE
ton and the best Evers' men could do |
was to get an even break in four
games The one game edge for the
burg just held its own and but for
two wins from Boston early in the |
week would have shown poorly as the |
result of the upset against the Phillies.
St. Louis won its only game of the
week on Wednesday, when the Cardi-
nails drove Christy Mathewson from the
box with a series of slams that startled
both the fade away artist and his
team mates.
The progress of the pennant chase in
the National League is shown by the
