ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 NEW YORK, Dec 6-IndiCatiOnS today were of steady absorption of high grade stocks such as has been apparent for some time past. Of feriuEs at concessions were accepted readily but no effort was made to force up the list progressively. It was the same quiet. gradual buying which has held the market steady recently in the face of unfavorable influences.
 The only movements of consequence today occurred shortly after the openine Small declines of some fla vorite shares stimulated the buying. and the list was quickly placed well above yesterdays close. Then came a recession on which grains were cancelled and the market thereafter barely moved Although the poor prospects of the bank statements aroused some apprehension, the showing proved exceptionally strong The cash loan loss of less than six millions dollars was smaller than was looked for. The most striking change, however. was the contraction in actual loans of S56.314.00O which showed the extend to which the banks have gone to correct the posi- tion disclosed last week and which fully explained the lghtness of the money market this week. Reserve requirements were reduced so sharply that in spite of the cash loss last weeks deficit was converted into q surplus of $7.645, 900. Bonds were stea dy Total sales represented q par value of 1.O9O.0O0. Governments were unchanged on call on the week.

FRANCISCO GARCIA IS
 SENTENCED ID DEATH
Judge Phillips Passes Sentence Upon Murderer Of Officer Charles Harris.

Francisco Garcia was yesterday sen fenced to hang in the state penitentiary at Florence on Friday February 13. 1914. by Judge John C. Phillips of the superior court of Maricopa county. The passing of the sentence. which had been deferred from the morning session of the court in order to allow the att torneys in the case to argue the mo- tion for d new trial. came at 4:30 o'clock. The court seemed to be more effected than the prisoner, who stood without tremor listening to the words of interpreter Joe Bush. who translated the words for Judge Phillips.
 Francisco Garcia" said the court, Have you anything to say why sen tence should not be passed upon you at this time" The man said No In formation was filed in this court by the county attorney charging you with the murder of Charles Harris upon July ,. 1913 You were tried by a jury and found guilty. and your punishment fixed at death. The law makes it in cumbent upon me to sentence you. in accordance with the erdict of the jury. Francisco Garcia it is therefore the sentence of this court that you be taken to the state prison at Florence and that within the prison walls on Friday Feb ruary 13. 1914, and hung by the neck until you are dead.

CoRDITE AS CHEWING GUM

FROM Pearson weekly.
One of the troubles of most European
armies is that those soldiers who can
get hold of it insist on using that ter
rible explosive cordite as IL it were a
sort of chewing gum.
Its popularity is due to the fact that
when chewed in small quantities it has
a stimulating and exhilarating effect
like small doses of alcohol. It's taste,
too, is sweet, cordite being three fifths
nitroglycerin, an explosive which is SUI
gary to the taste.
= When chewed in large quantities cor
dite becomes more powerful in its ef-
fects, bringing on a blssful state OF
ecstacy and sometimes making the vie
tim of the habit see visions But the
real danger of the habit lies in the
fact that though nitroglycerin will ex-
plode only when given very ha-9
blow or touched by an electric spark,
there Is always a possibility that the
grinding of exceptionally hard teeth
might provide the necessary hard blow,
With the last few years, at least, three
soldiers-two Germans and one Aus
trian-have been blown to bits, the use
of cordite as a chewing gum being the
suspected cause.

HONORING UNDERWOOD

From the Atlanta Constitution.
A man must lomo large in current his
tory and in personality to have the ma
tional House of Representatives forget
partisanship to pay him spontaneous
honor. That is what happened recently
to Oscar Underwood of Alabama, demo-
cratic Hodse leader and chairman of the
ways and means committee. The occa-
sion was his fffty-first birthday.
Republican Floor Leader Mann, among
the bitterest partisans on the floor told
the speaker he wished to put aside par
tisanship and talk personally" He told
the House that 81 years ago "oney of the
ablest men in public life first saw the
light of day" And he congratulated 'the
democratic party and the american people
that during the 81 years of his life there
had grown to greatness and bigness the
able gentleman from Alabama, Mr. Tn
derwood." The Associated Press reports
that both sides of the House broke into
roars of applause.
Mr.. Mann's estimate was not only
graceful. but accurate. Underwood is now
one of the best assets of the party and
the nation.

Will Help Alabama

The land congress, which will hold
+s second annual meeting in Blrmlng-
ham next November, will be an eX-
ceptionally important affair. A great
deal of organized effort is being done
to make it notable success.
Secretary David F. Houston OF the
limited States department OF agricui-
ture expects to attend and deliver an
address. In acknowledging the invita-
tion the Secretary said that 1t was TOO
far ahead to make a positive engage
ment. but that he wanted to come 10
Alabama and be present at the con-
press. He has intimated that nothing
but urgent public business would pre-
vent him from participating in the
land congress.
Chairman B. F. Yoakum of the Fris-
60 and other railroad officials who are
known to be felicitous takers as well
as able business men have been invited
and the discussions during the three
davs' session will be in high degree
animating.
The land congress promotes every
movement looking to the betterment
of agricultural conditions and proper
presentation of the advantages of this
state from an agricultural point of
view. The scope of the congress is
broad enough to include rural credits,
immigration and education. Statistical
information that will not be dry but
that will be Of great Importance is be-
ing compiled for the congress. And
included in this information will be the
number of families that certain rail-
roads have brought to Alabama to be-
come residents of the state. One rail-
road alone has been the means of set
Ting 81, 900 families in Alabama
within the past few years.
The Alabama State Land congress
was organized in Mobile last Novem-
ber and SO interesting and helpful was
the meeting there that farmers, rail-
road officials, bankers and business
men throughout the state are en-
thusiastic over the forthcoming meet
ing and are ready to cooperate with
President N. F. Thompson and his as
sociate officers to make the second

ing weary of them. But no period
rounding out 20, so or 100 years which
marks some great historic event
should ever lose interest. In 1876 the
centennial celebration of the declara.
tion of independence was a magnifi-
cent affair. The 400th anniversary of
the discovery of America by Columbus
was another grand event. Other an.
niyersaries have been celebrated on
large scale and it may be assumed
that the people, Of both north and
south will take we'll to the idea set
forth by DR.. Petrie.
The semi-centennial of the close of
the civil war should not only be cele-
brated by the nation but the celebra.
tion should be unsurpassed in ITS pa.
triotic display and its far reaching
fraternal influence.

Underwood for 1916

For good and sufficient reasons the
democratic party has been in the habit
of taking its candidates for President
from a contested state.
Oscar Underwood had great inher-
ent strength at the Baltimore con-
vention last June In spite of the fact
that he was from an uncontested
state he was the choice of large
conservative element in the east.
But the Albanian will be in COM
pelling position if the country pros
pers under the revised tariff. Many
business men as we'll as politicians
and farmers believe that the Under
wood tariff has come to stay; that
prosperity will be strongly in evil
dence following the enactment OF the
tariff bill into law. The high cost of
living will be reduced and that of it
self will strengthen the democracy
and heighten Mr.. Underwood's ma
tional popularity.
Influential newspapers have been
discussing Mr.. Underwood vigorously
as the democratic standard bearer for
1916. With the success of the new
tariff the chances are that the present
democratic leader will be nominated
without opposition.

Harvard Presidents Good Advice

President A. L. Lowell of Harvard,
in addressing the Alumni society IN
Chicago at its annual banquet there
Thursday night, spoke of "the modern
tendency to hold men in college until
they have reached. seasoned maturity"
This. he maintained, was grave
error"
In the east boys now enter college
when they are 18 or 19. Mr.. Lowell
said the right age was II. When they
enter at 10, take four years course
and afterwards study for profession
thew are not far from 80 before they
get anything like start in life. Presi-
dent Lowell said that for college pur-
poses the boy was just as mature at
II as he was at 10. "Send the man
of 40 to college," continued Mr.. Low
ell, "and he will go to the dogs, but
send us your boys when they are IL
and we will guarantee satisfaction or
return xhe student"
The distinguished educator advo-
Gated early marriage and if the boy is
going through college it is plain that
he must matriculate at 16 or II, for
three of four years should be al
lowed after graduation for acquiring a
good working knowledge of business,
or if the young man is to take up a
profession he should have at least a
years experience in his profession be-
fore entering the matrimonial state
For many reasons it is far better for
man to marry at 25 than wait until
he is 35 or 40.
1t is hoped that the advice Of Presi-
dent Lowell will be seriously consid-
cred and acted upon.

Since the days of old Rameses-if not
earlier-they've been discovering alleged
cures for badness. That's fact, isn't
it? How many are there? Ask bald
gentleman who has a large circle of So
licitous and attentive friends and listen
calmly to his remarks. Then tell him
about the latest discovery-that made by
Explorer Ernest Shackleton, who tells
Londoners that the cold air of the polar
regions cures and prevents badness. OF
course, if your friend can't go to the Arc
tic regions long enough to grow some new
hair tell him-gently, kindly. of course
to poke his head into the family refrigera-
tor for few weeks and to report results
to you by phone. In this way you'll be
able to test the Shackleton discovery at
no Inconvenience or expense to yourself.

for the diversion of wage workers
who belong to the "Can't-Get-Away
club" comes we'll under the head Of
civic progress, but winter programmes
are of higher quality and the only
way that Sunday concerts can be
made possible in winter is to have
them in a theatre with paid admis-
sion. Those who choose to go can pay
the price. Those who have scruples
about Sunday concerts or who do not
care about music can stay away. That
is about the long and short of it.
Even the few excellent subscription
concerts given here on Sunday last
season would have brought consid-
cradle deficit had it not been for the
large sale of single tickets at the box
office.
There is much interest in good
music in this city-as much here, per-
haps, as in most cities of approx
imately its size. But the people do
not always show it, as was seen last
Tuesday night, when very fine
symphony orchestra closed short en-
gagement with empty seats in the
majority. Those citizens who have
promoted musical art by subscribing
to guarantee funds will certainly
grow tired of contributing money un-
less there is a more eager response on
the part of educational institutions
and the public in general.
But the matter of pressing impor-
tance just now is the open air con-
certs for this coming summer. Let
an earnest effort be made to find ways
and means.

The Pig Iron Trade

Matthew Addy & Co., in their Cincin-
natl report for the current week, say:
Underlying conditions in the pig iron
trade are satisfactory and if the crops
turn out we'll we should have a good
year. The first half of the year is as
sured
There has been fine iron business
since last October and all branches are
still busy, with some lines pushed to
the limit, as, for example, the bridge
concerns. There were so MANY bridges
damaged and destroyed by the recent
floods, that the labor of restoring them
has forced the bridge shops to work
night and day But in every direction
there is a demand for finished material
and there is no fear but that presently
there will be a good demand for pig
iron.
However, inquiry at the present is
slack with very little doing. The weeks
sales have been a negligible quantity.
Tariff agitation is universally blamed for
the present condition of affairs It has
introduced an element of uncertainty that
did not previously exist. Tariff changes
mean readjustments, they mean altera-
tions all along the line and no one can
tell exactly what will happen until the
tariff is actually in operation. The trade
can theorize all it wants to but theory
and fact are sometimes hard to recon-
cile. So, while the iron men are unit
in objecting to the new tariff, yet if it
has to be they want quick action, so
that this unsettled period may be ended
and so that we may get once more on
firm ground
