STOCK STORY FALSE
lnstruets Attorneys to Bring Action
Against Those Responsible
r for Statements.

At the request of John G. Leishman,
Amba ssador to Germany. the State De-
partment yesterday made public a state
ment from the Ambassador. denying GER
tain reports in connection with a suit
brought against him by stock broktng
firm in Pittsburg The Ambassador. in
his statement, denies that he declined
to accept service and announces that he
has instructed his attorneys to bring ac-
ton against those responsible for what
he terms "the libelous statements against
me-" The Ambassadors statement Is as
follows:
Reports having reached me that GER
tain slanderous statements have been
given currency, charging me with having
abused diplomatic privilege by declining
TO accept service in court proceedings IN
connection with an alleged claim of Ray
mond. Pynchon & Co, 1 hasten to brand
same as absolutely false and without
foundation, as my attorneys. Boardman
& PIatt, New York. and Judge Reed.
Pittsburg. and Connor, of Paris, can
corroborate.
"Such charges could only have orig
mated in the minds of ill-disposed per-
sons who have given them circulation
with malicious intent to injure me. The
allegations to the effect that i have
abused privacy of information which
may have reached me in the performance
of my official duties are equally false
and my attorneys have instructions to
bring action against those responsible
for the libelous statements made against
me-"
The suit was brought by the Pittsburg
brokers to recover SiO,OU, whlch. IL Is
claimed. Is due them from Mr. Leishman
as the result OF stock transactions last
November and December.

LOCAL SECURITIES FIRM
by I. A. FLEMING.

New York stocks lower, through
liquidation: Washington stocks active,
at firm prices: cotton and grain steady,
is the story of financial America yes
terday, so far as these columns are
concerned. The short interest in the
New York market made its power felt,
and prices of weak stocks felt the SELL
ing pressure heavily. The rails in the
main, behaved, well, and the losses
there We're not so heavy. Coppers
were weak. and most of the industrial
list and some Of the specialties lost
five to eight points. The decline was
brought about not so much by any
additional bad news as by the general
trend Of the market downward under
existing conditions.
The action of the Senate in attach
ing an anti-merger clause to the Dis
trict appropriation bill had no appre-
ciable effect upon local stocks. Ffnan-
ciers say they have expected all along
that either a public utilities commits
sion would be created or that a drastic
anti-mcrEer law would he enacted.
They also are strong in the opinion
that whatever Congress may do along
these lines will not affect the natural
development of the local public utili-
ties or their union, if IL shall he found
that the public as well as private in
way.
B. & o. Earning. Inere"se.
That January stands out as one of
the biggest revenue months and the
biggest January in the history of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
is not important in itself but when II
is stated that gross earnings exceeded
the total for the corresponding month
a year ago by sl.N33.SS3 and that net
earnings gained SSOl.7S7. il gives the
showing an Importance that cannot he
passed over lightly.
Analysis of the figures show that
the increase of sSO1.7S7 in net is 4O.7
per cent of the total gain in that item
reported for the seven months ended
January 81 last.
