New York Stock Market.


Wan St, New York Feb. 1S-STOCKS-
moderate strength was shown by the
STOCK market during the morning although
the movement appeared to be based rather
upon an oversold condition than upon any
tons.
traders were encouraged by news that
the threatened strike of firemen had been
aVerted but the demand caused by this
development was soon satisfied and spec
ulat1on became listless.
Improvement in. the standard stocks was
onset to some extent by steady selling
OF long stock in other quarters. Offerings
or Goodrich, which was unusually heavy
added Seevral points to its slump of yes
terday- Woolworth and Underwood also
broke badly.
Bonds were irregular.
Price made some recovery from yester-
days decline when trading began TODAY
There was good demand for the specula-
tive favorites, especially Reading and
Steel, each of which gained a point
Canadian Pacific and Illinois Central rose
Ia and Can 1.
High priced stocks fell off sharply late
in the day. Reactions ran from / to ia
and Union Pacific, Northern Pacific,
Great Northern preferred and American

TAFT'S POSITION.
President Makes Clear His At
titude to Mexico.
Ready to Act Last Day of Term
If Necessary.

washington, Feb. 1S-PreSident TAFT
is plainly worried by the fact that al
though he has only II more days to
serve in the White House the situation
in Mexico shows little signs of becom-
ing less troublesome. The president
has no desire to leave over for Mr..
Wilson the settlement of this country
relations with Mexico. but he is de-
cidedIy opposed to taking any meas
ures himself unless extreme provoca-
tion and wholesale murder of Amer1-
cans drive him to it.
The president told friends today that
he realized what a difficult thing 1t
would be for new administration to
gather up the reigns of government and
understand the conditions in the south
ern republic in a few weeks or in a few
months He believes it would take at
least six months for Mr.. wilson ana
his cabinet to grasp details OF dlplo-
matte negotiation of troop and battle
ship movements and of internal
niceties that he and his cabinet have
acquired in two years close study OF
a condition that now has ceased to
confront them. He has Informed his
advisers that he will be president up
until Mr.. Wilson takes the oath OF OF
flee and that if Intervention is demand
ed by congress on his last day in of
fee he would not hesitate to concur.
But he hopes that he will not have
to act and then move into the back
ground, leaving a new president and
inexperienced administrator to strug-
gle with the real problem.
The president has made no real pre-
variations to send any communication
to congress touching Mexico. He hopes
he will not be compelled to speak to
congress on the subject but if a stu
alton requiring his advice arose, he
would be ready in a few minutes to
dictate his suggestions and to lay be-
fore congress the vast funds of in
formation on conditions there that are
in possession of the state department.
Night sessions of the cabinet to con-
slider late developments from Mexico
probably will not be held in the fu-
ture. Several of the presidents cabi-
net suggested to him today that these
meetings might be misunderstood
the United States and in
Mexico and that their significance
might be magnified. The cabinet Off
GERS felt that the frequent reports of
these late meetings. which apparently
brought little tangible action, might
lead to suspicion that the lid had
been clamped down; that the public
was being misled and that back of
them many secret orders were being
framed and issued from the state, war
and navy department. The president
agreed with his advisers and practical
lv decided to hold no more such con-
ferences.

PUBLIC BUILDING BILL.
Republicans Denounce Democrat Pork
Barrel of $25, OOO,0 900.

washington, Feb. 1S.-After acrimoni-
Gus debate the house passed the pub
lie buildings bill, authorizing the con-
struction of $25. 900 worth of pub
lie buildings throughout the country.
Representative Fitzgerald, of New
York, chairman of the house appropri-
alton committee, and Representative
Hardwick of Georgia, vigorously at
tackled the Democrat side for their
support of the bill
1.-The sham economists who have
been advocating public buildings bills
which fasten obligations upon the
treasury declared Mr.. Fitzgerald,
."should either quit talking economy or
should attempt to stop the authorize
lions which make inevitable the eX-
penditure of large sums of public mon
ey denounce as indefensible this
method of passing a public building
bill. 1t ties together everybody with
an item in it and makes it impossi-
BILE to give close scrutiny at:c atten-
ton to the bill. understand this bill
has been so scientifically prepared that
it cannot be defeated
Representative Hardwick was bitter
in his denunciation of the bill.
Il believe" he declared, honestly
and candidly that this is thu worst hill
of its kind ever reported to an Aneri-
can house of representatives. ] do not
think that in the palmiest days of
Cannonism as rotten d prop 0sitior ever
came to this house.
There are things in this bill no one
can defend. 1 submit to you that each
one of you in your heart knows that
this bill is not right. that instead of
being in the interest OF the public SER
States, it is in the interest of the
political fortunes of Sa4 Individual
members on both sides of this house.
The bill was passed 1S4 to IS.

Life.

San Francisco. Feb. 1S.-"Joaquin'
Miller, the poet of the Sierras, died in
his one-room cabin, which he built
with his own hands in the Piedmont
hills many years ago. His daughter,
Juanita Miller, and his wife were with
him. The end came at O'Clock in
the afternoon with warm sunshine
flooding the room where lay the auth

Death came slowly upon the vener-
able poet. He became unconscious
Thursday after lingering illness,
which began when he succumbed to
an attack of paralysis two years ago.
The weakness of old age had crept
upon him and although he worked at

Governor G1asscock and the military
authorities and ask for delay in order
that they might prepare the evidence
which they expect to bring against the
defendants when they are arraigned
before the military court.
There was no disorder in the Paint
Creek country during the night, al
though a number of arrests were made
by the military. The prisoners are
now confined in the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad station at Paint Creek
junction and in number of other
buildings taken by the military for
that purpose. There are four rooms
in the station. All prisoners it was
reported have been removed from box
cars and were being made as COM
