BAL T|hORE TO HELP
WASH|NGTON'S FIGHT
Two Cities Will Unite in Protest
Against Elimination OF
Store Door Delivery.

Washington and Baltimore will stand
united in fighting the elimination of
store door delivery OF freight in the two
cities Such is the decision of legal
representatives from mercantile organi-
cations in both cities scter a two-hour
conference in the office of NJ. D. Rosen-
berg today.
Will present united front to the In
terstate Commerce Commission in their
effort to prevent the railroads from
dropping their store door delivery sys-
tenn. Some points In which the cases
of the two cities are mot on all fours"
may be taken up separately, but, as far
as the preliminary plans are concerned,
there will be no division of effort.
The attorneys and traffic men present
in today's conference decided that the
two cities shall protest against the new
tariffc, and fight to have the delivery
new tariffc are effective September l.
The merchants of the two cities plan to
make the fght just as soon as they can
take formal action with the commission.
suggested to the Washingtonians that
in some respects, the hight of the two
cities Is not parallel as far as argu
ments before the commission Is con-
cerned The outcome Of the discus
to stand together in this hight
Attorney NJ. d. Rosenberg barred q
Times reporter from the conference,
but one of those present declared
afterward that some points of differ
ence in the casess may be taken up
separately later on.
The conference adjourned to Tuesday
morning at II o'clock. when further
plans for the joint fight will be dis
cussed.
There is a possibility of a second fight
in the store-door delivery matter. This
would result from a tariff, which, it IS
believed. viii mean that freight origi-
mating in either Baltimore or Washing
ten, end shipped only between these
two cities, would still be delivered by
the raill oads.
Should this system continue, with re-
spect to the two cities, Philadelphia, for
instance, could protest that such tar
if meant discrimination with respect
to her goods In so far as Washington
and Baltimore are concerned.
Should such a Eight develop, Philadel-
phia or some other city aside from
Washington and Baltimore would have
to initiate it. The local attorneys are
not concerning themselves now with
this phase OF tn esituation.
Present at today's conference rep
resenting Washington were Attorneys
Chaplin Brown and NJ. D. Rosenberg
and Traffic Counsel Haines: for Bal
timore, Attorney John B. Daish, J. ID.

MARKET SHOWS BEST
WHEN It OPENS UP
Tone Is Stronger and Many
Bonds Gain Points Over
Yesterdays Close.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The tone OF
the market today was strong. Cana
dian Pacific showed the best strength
at the opening. advancing to 221 for a
gain of , points over Fridays final
Much of the strength in this stock
was due to buying orders cabied from
the other side, as there was no session
of the London stock exchange and spec
ulators there had to do their Saturday
trading in some other market.
After half an hour, however. Cana
dian Pacific lost some of its advance.
The tone was strong. Among other
advances were: Amalgamated Copper,
Il; Steel, common, Il; Union Pacific, u;
Southern Pacific, "; Reading. u: New
York, New Haven and Hartford, :.
General Electric, y: C. and O., 4; ST.
A statement of the president OF the
American Locomotive relative to the
decision to cease manufacturing auto
mobiles was responsible Tor the
strength in the stock OF this company.
This branch of business always has
proven a losing venture, and with 1t
eliminated, the financial prospects from
the straight manufacture Of locomo-
tives are much brighter.
Lehigh Valley began y lower, but
The curb was steady.
A dry weather map and prospects
for no rain over the Southwest Sun
day, gave activity to the cotton market
at the opening today, first prices being
IL To l6 points higher. This was
much higher for new crops than had
been expected. Some of the traders
who reduced their lines yesterday
were good buyers at the start Futures
and spot in Liverpool were steady.
The annual report of the American
Locomotive Company for the fiscal
year ended June 30, shows the gross
earnings to be the greatest in the his
tory of the country. The total earn
ings were S54, s68, ,174. which were more
than $S.5Oo,Oo0 higher than the earn
ings in I9o6-07, which held the previous
high earnings record. The expenses
were $6, ,305 for dividend distribution.
The weekly actual bank statement is
sued today showed the following
changes: Surplus, decrease. Sass $50:

FITZGERALD RALLIES IN VAIN.
Substitutes for savage, Ends IN in
Good style, hut starts Wrechedly.


Jack Fitzgerald made a poor substitute
for Jim Savage against Al kub!ak at the
Atlantic Garden a. G. last night, barely
lasting the ten rounds. Fitzgerald was
under a big handicap. weighing only $50
pounds against kubiak's 200, but he made
n stubborn night OF 1t in the last two
rounds. hooking hard lefts on the Jaw
and sending kubiak back against the
ropes with each blow. The punches lacked
the necessary steam to stop kubiak from
boring In. the rally resulting in a futile
effort. kuhiak scored knockdowns In the
sixth and ninth rounds with heavy rights
on the head.
From the third to the eighth round
Fitzgerald was in a bad way and had his
trouble holding his feet. Left hooks and
right uppercuts reeled Fitz from one side
of the ring to the other but he gamely
stuck it cut and had enough lef, To- rally
at the end. Jim savage. who was to have
Fought kuoiak, was introduced with IA
damaged left hand. an injury he received
while training for the fight.
The other ten round bouts both went
