rHE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE

(By Congressman George A. Neeley.)
The present New York Stock Ex-
change was recognized in 1869 by
a CONSOLIDATION of the Open Board of
Brokers and the New York Stock
Exchange, which later amalgamated
with what was known as the Govern
ing Board and the Mining Exchange,
Increasing its membership to LOO,
where is has since remained.
The prime purpose in its organiza-
tidn is alleged to have been to fur
nish a market for stocks, bonds and
commodities, and its business has
grown from a gross sale of $4,000, 900
shares of stock and $413, 100000 of
bonds in 1879 to 1924, 1853 shares of
stock and $664,942,42O of bonds in
1912, with loans frequently aggregat-
ing 50,OOO, 900 in a single day.
At the 'time of this consolidation,
memberships sold at from $4,000 to
900 each. They now bring about
$4,000, although they have Sold as
high as $4,000, and the only way by
which one may become member is
either by purchasing a seat from
some one now a member or securing
any vacancy that may exist. The
applicant must then pay an Initiation
fee of $4,000, secure the assent Of
two-tl1irds of the committee on ad-
missions, and agree to pay dues OF
500 per year.
The rules of the Exchange arbi-
Israrily require that both buyer and
seller shall pay brokers' commits
sion of nne-eighth of one per cent
on each 500 of face value of the
stock, regardless Of its actual value,
and gives. members of the Exchange
preference in the paymnt of debts in
case of insolvency.
Let us Illustrate by assuming that
John Smith,, Lying in Kansas, sends
$1,000 to his. brokeri n New York to
invest in a certain stock selling al
20 cents on the dollar. The order is
executed, and Smith must pay his

upon the $1,000 invested, but upon

stock, and the broker who made the

CONCERNING AUTO LICENSE AND
TAGS.

The owners of motor cars and mo-
torcycles in Kansas will not be COM
PEELED to 90 to the county seats to
get their motor car tags and licenses
when the new registration law goes
into effect July l.. Blank applications
for licenses and tags are now being
printed by the state printer and
Charles Sessions, secretary of state,
will have a complete supply sent to
every motor car dealer and garage
in the state, both in the county seats
and in the towns away from the coun-
ty seats. Any motor car owner can
get the blanks free and make his
application.
The blanks are to be filled out by
the owner of the car. They must
show the name of the owner and the
postoffice address, the name Of the
car, the model and style, the horse
power and the year it was made. This
blank, when properly filled out, is to
be sent to the county treasurer, not
the county clerk or the secretary of
state. With il there must he a check
for s. for a motor car and 50 for a
motorcycle. The county treasurer
will send the owner a receipt for his
money and the secretary of state
the application for the moto- car H.
cense and number plate.
Along with the application the coun-
ty treasurer is to send 10 per cent of
the fee, Is cents for a motor car and
90 cents for a motorcycle to the sec
rotary of state for administering the
law. The rest goes into the county
road maintenance fund. When the
application reaches Topeka a license
is made out corresponding to the car
number allotted to it and a perma-
nent record of the car and its owner
made. The license and number plate
will be mailed at the same time and
direct to the owner of the car. The
tags will go by parcels post. After
the owner of the car mails his appli-
cation to the county treasurer he
need not bother himself any more
about the license and tag, as 1t will
be delivered direct to his home by
the mail service.
The motor car and motorcycle own
er does not want to FORGET one i'm
portant provision Of the law. The
license issued by the state in connec-
ton with the car number tag must be
carried with the car and by the
driver. A man cannot have a license
with one number and drive a car
with another number. Any police
man or constable may arrest him for
doing this Any law officer has au-
thority to stop the car and demand
the license and compare the license
with the car number any time he de-
sires so that the license must be
kept handy at all times.

ROTTEN sILAGE KILLS HORSES.

MARKET REPORT.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April q.
After Wednesday last week there
was better demand for all kinds OF
killing cattle, and the week closed
steady to 10 lower on them. Light
fed steers were in strongest request,
heavy steers being avoided some
what because of high cost, and butch
er grades suffering a slight indispo-
sition the last days of the week.
Stock cattle and feeders ruled the
week, though trade was slow at the
close. The run today here is II 900
cattle, and the market is steady to
10 higher. Butcher grades are strong
est today, fully recovering their Sigh
loss Of last week, and fed steers are
steady to strong. Heavy steers
brought $50 today, yearlings quota
bic up to $685., heifers $3.50 for tops.
A drove of fancy stockers brought
$3.50 last week, and feeders up 70
$685.. Today a string of 10 carloads
of desirable stock steers, weighing
around 700 pounds, but so thin they
could have weighed 800 pounds and
still have been stockers, sold at SITS
considered cheap for anyone looking
for frame rather than flesh. Cattle
direct from the west are scarce to-
day, but on the basis of last weeks
sales steers e-s worth $50 to $3.50.
Quarantine receipts today % cars.
largely steers at $7.25 to $S.l5, some
bulls $6.15, others $6.75. While the
general market horizon does not look
beefy, there are about 100, 900 big cat
, tie at distilleries in Illinois, Indiana
and Kentucky ready for the sham
bles and which will probably run in
the next 80 or 60 days. These, how
ever will be marketed at Chicago
nd farther east, and will thus have
minimum effect on Kansas City
prices. After the bad break the first
of last week hogs made some gains,
but the situation is still weak. Re-
ceipts today are above expectations
at Chicago, and fairly liberal here TO.
Monday, and prices are steady to 5
lower. Top today is $685., bulk $3.50
to $3.50. Eastern demand for light
hogs is not quite as strong as here
tofore, and all weights are selling
closer together.J Regardless of pre-
sent conditions, market seers predict
higher prices in June than the pres
ent range. Sheep and lambs declin-
4 ed 25 to 80 cents last week, without
any visible reason, and pessimism rul
ed at the end of the week. The Gus
tomary surprise came today with
moderate run, 10000 head, and prices
strong to 10 higher, lambs at $3.50 to
$3.50, yearlings worth $3.50, wethers
$6.75, ewes $40. Texas goats sold
at $3.50 today, and 1O3 pound clipped

MEASURES ARE TERMED
HOOPER FORCE BILLS

The temperance measures that were
seven in number at the beginning were
termed the "Hooper force bills" named
that way out of partisan i'll feeling
against Governor Hooper, who had twice
made a successful race for the chief ex-
ecutiye of the state ON a temperance plat
form. defeating, first. Bob Taylor,
the idol of Tennessee democracy, and next
Benton Mcmillan, now United States min
ister to Peru.
The statewide law to enforce prohibition
for the entire commonwealth had never
been regarded in the four larger cities of
Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga and
Knoxville. but Governor Hooper in maxi
ing his campaign for reelection last fall
made the promise that if the people would
again elect him he WOULD close all of the
open saloons of the state.
The continued effort of Ex-Governor
Patterson to win the United States Senate
had the effect of lining up thousands of
Independent democrats on the side of
Governor Hooper, who had won the repub-
lioan nomination for governor. The loss
of these independents to the dominant
party in the state caused the legislature
to be so very close that the one delega-
ton from Shelby county (Memphis) held
the balance of power in beth branches of
the general assembly

was Independent as to- means, for her
wages had been raised from year to
year as the remuneration of servants ad-
vanced throughout the country, and, as
her expenses have been nominal she had
put by constantly increasing amount
each year.
Her three trips she had paid for out of
her savings, and the fourth and last will
not make such great difference in her
wealth. She expects to leave soon, for
with the passing days comes the insistent
realization that it is not fair to make
Christian wait until her hair is gray. To
the Josephs Miss Clara is still 'our girl !"

The other day Daniel C. Joseph, the
attorney, whom. Miss Rentschler had
nursed as a child, was prevailed upon to
undertake mission of great Importance
to the lovelorn Miss Clara.
So in the forenoon Mr., Joseph, carrying
out the Instructions went down to the
marriage license bureau, in the court of
common pleas and got the signature of
Clerk Adam Deupert to document set
ting forth that Miss Rentschler was free
to marry Mr.. Fischer and that no earthly
obstacles stood in the way. At the bot
tom of this document was statement
from the German consulate vouching for
the authority and disinterestedness of the
Baltimore marriage license bureau.

The Rev. Willoughby N Claybrook Of
st. Mary's church said last night that
several teachers connected with the Sum
day school of his church expected to
make the trip. 1t is expected that several
teachers from other churches in this city
will also go to New York for the con-
vention. 1t is expected to be of unusual
interest. and is attracting widespread at
tention in all parts of the country. Many
problems of vital interest to the church
will be studied and decided at this years

MEMPHIS DELEGAT
GOES TO FUSIONISTS

This delegation being completely dom-

ter enemy of Ex-Governor Patterson in
the organization of the general assembly
last January went to the side of the
fusion forces lead by Governor Hooper,
although the Memphisians bad been elect
ed on an anti-prohibition platform.
Mayor Crump, however had an agree
ment with such fusionists as United States
Senator Luke Lea; Maj. e. B. Stahlman,
publisher of the Nashville Banner;
George T. Milton publisher of dailies in
Knoxville and Chattanooga, that there
should be no further temperance legisla-
tion If Crump would use his good offices
to retain the statewide law already in
ewwect. These laws were so disregarded
that the democratic platform declared for
their repeal.
The democrats of the general assembly
were so provoked at the action of Mayor
Crump in going over to the fusionists
thai in order to embarrass the Memphis
mayor, called upon Republican Governor
Hooper to report on what laws were need
ed to close the saloons in the larger
cities. 1t was upon this call that Gov
ernor Hooper took the stand for law en-
foeement measures, and in doing this

SOLDIER IS DEAD
De Negrier Was Strict Dis
ciplinarian, But Loved
by PrMates
by PAUL vILLIERs

Paris, September N.-(Special.) The
recent death of General De Negrier re-
moved a most picturesque figure from
French military life. De Negrier was a
soldier of the old school. and came from
a military family which has shown in
French history for many years. lie was
the fifth general officer of the family
since the day of Napoleon
The Paris papers have been full of
stories characteristic of the man. Here
is an example: Though worshipped by the
majority of his men. the general was too
severe a disclipinarian not to have some
enemies. 1t is said that one day when,
during a maneuver, he was riding in front
of company, bullet whistled past his
head. De Negrier turned in flash and
ran his eye DOWN the ranks. One man
blanched, Captain" ordered De Negrier
in clear voice of command, give that
man there a weeks guardroom. With
a rifle like ours 1t is criminal to miss at
so yards
Leaving the military college of st. Cyr,
he became captain of chasseurs, and,
during the Franco Prussian war he was
present with his regiment at the sanguin-
airy battle of Mars la Tour, on August 16.
1870 and took part in the defeat of the
Prussian Thirtieth brigade at the close of
the day, in which he was badly wounded.
Later he fell into the hands of the enemy,
but escaped, rejoined the army and was
again wounded, twice by Prussian bull
let's.
He was promoted general in 1888. at the
early age of ~i3, and distinguished himself
during the French expedition in Tonkin,
where he led several attacks, and was
twice wounded, once seriously. From 1889
to 1904. he commanded various army
corps In France.
A real soldier of the old school, he
fought duel a few days ago with Gen.
eral Andre. ex-minister of war. De Ne
grier took the matter quite seriously and
asked that the weapons should be army
revolvers loaded with six bullets, and
that the combatants should stand at a
distance of 10 yards. AS General Andre S
seconds refused to accept these very un-
Usual conditions, when they did meet DE
Negrier refused to fire.

JOHN 1. COX TAKES UP
TASK OF MEETING SITUATION

The law enforcement, prohibition bills
weres then introduced any way in both

then that ex-Gov. John I. Cox, the
shrewdest political wire worker in the
state. got in his work to rehablitate the
democratic party. As floor leader of
the house of representatives for his party
he had the bills set for a special order
in the lower branch of the general as
sembly of which he was a member. and it
looked like the doom of the open sa-
loon in Tennessee was sounded.
The bills would have passed under the
then existing alignment. but that align
ment was then broken by Mayor Crump
returning to the democrats and promising
aid In the matter of taking the election
machinery of the state out of the hands
of Governor Hooper. While work on this
line was being done the temperance
measures were sidetracled by the, demo-
