of a stock exchange broker gave Wall
street today the most exciting ten
minutes it has had for several weeks.

awaited decision in the Minnesota rate
case and the decision was favorable ln
the railways. Uproar followed on the
exchange, brokers who had been

floor and began to bid DANGEROUSLY
for stocks. Prices mounted rapidly
the leading railway issues rising half
point or more between sales
Union Pacific bounded up points
and other stocks from 1 to 2 points.
The movement ended as suddenly as
it began. 1t was learned that a bro
ker had misread a telegram and in
stead of the Minnesota rate case it
proved to be case of comparative
unimportance which the supreme
court had decided. Prices fell back
and soon reached the lowest level of

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
Orr Would Raise Wages and Gut the
Fees.

James W. Orr of Atchison this after
noon Offered a bill increasing the sal
airy or the attorney general from
$1,000 to 81, 200 year, but providing
that all fees of any nature whatsoever
shall be turned into the state treasury.
The Orr bill also makes provision for
additional office forces, but may not
create enthusiasm in it's demand for
all fees to the state.
If Orr's bill becomes a law, all fees
in trust investigation, liquor prosecu-
t1onS and other cases, will be turned
into the state treasury instead of being
given to the prosecutor as under the
present law. Not only does the fee
provision apply to the attorney gen.
whom he might designate or appoint
In addition to allowing the attorney
general an annual salary of $4,000 the
Orr bill allows $4,000 to each of two
assistants, an office assistant at $1,000
year and two stenographers at sal
aries of $1,000 and 5000 a year.
