Stocks Move With Marked
Hesitation. No Well Defined
Tendency for Trading.
MANY ACTIVE SHARES
REACH LOWER LEVELS
Market Is Dull for Lack of Stimu-
lating News and There Is Lit
tie Investment Buying.

NEW YORK, June 3o.-Stocks moved
hesitatingly at the opening today. Trad
ing was light and there was no well de
fined tendency. although a majority of
the more active shares We're lower. The
widest changes We're those of Canadian
Pacific. which dropped point, and of
Union Pacific. which fell back q.
Finding themselves virtually unopposed
in depressing the market. bears put out
more stocks and soon established a
sprinkling of losses running from half a
point To two points. When they began
to bid for stocks to cover their contracts
il became evident that the raid had pro-
duced no liquidation of real stock, and
prices went back to near Saturdays
close before the covering movement
ended.
Trading bore its recent aspect of pro-
fessionalism, and after the recovery from
the early decline the market worked
lower again
The vuinerability of the bear position
was disclosed by the difficulty which the
shorts experienced in covering except on
a rising market.

Bank Statement Disappointing.

disappointment over the weekly bank
statement disclosing a loss in cash in
stead of the large gain predicted had
some sentimental effect in restraining
speculation. Traders also were in
clined to hold off for news from St.
Paul as to the exact terms of the Harrl-
man plan which was presented in court
today.
Uncertainties of the money market
tariff and currency legislation and the
crops SERVED to check investment buying
and outside demand remained at mini
mum. Notwithstanding the high returns on
various securities at present prices.
Bonds were irregular.
Scanty offerings depressed the list
under the forenoon's lowest. with pres
sure against the Hartman stocks be-
coming acute after the details of the
dissolution plan were known. South
ern Pacific fell 3 and Union Pacific
points
TIE little activity created by the Harsi-
man selling was short-lived and the lis.
during the rest OF the hour dragged
along in an irregular manner.
Prices in the main We're bette. but
some new weak spots gave the market a
Jagged appearance.

"CHIEF'7' MEYERS GREAT INDIAN BACKSTOP
 CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY

Chief John Tortes Meyers, the In dian 'backstop and demon s1ugger of the New York Giants, will celebrate his thirty-hrst birthday to-day, that valiant redman having been born in Riverside, Calif., July 29, 1882.
 Meyers, whose Indian name is Tortes, is a full b1ooded redman and a red blooded gentleman. He enjoyed better educational advantages than most paleface youths, and his head is filled with lore and learning.
 Fresno, Ca.1if., is proud of it's rafsins and wine and of being the birthplace of Peerless Leader Chance, and it also boasts of the fact that the Chief" made his baseball debut in that city After leaving the Riverside high school the decendant of old Chief Qua-Qua set out to earn a living by kicking a job press in a Fresno raisin packing house. On Saturday afternoons and Sundays he played ball. and soon earned a local reputation as a son of swat.
 After. spending some time in the Raisin City, Meyers set out to see the world He secured a job as inter preter in E1 Paso, Tex, and also held a similar position in Clifton, Ariz When not engaged as acting as a. yer bal go-between, Meyers played ball, and his fame spread throughout the Southwest. He was one of the stars
 
 nuaIly at Albuquerque, N. M., and there met Ralph Glaze later a big league pitcher but. then a Dartmouth student. Glaze persuaded the Chief to go to Dartmouth. He was not eligible to play on the college nine, and devoted himself to his studies, in many of which he excelled.
 After leaving Dartmouth, Meyers joined the Harrisburg club of the Fri State outlaw league, and led the cir cult in hitting. From the Pennsyl- vania capital he went to Butte, Mont, and thence to St. Paul. There his hit ting attracted the attention of Mo Graw, and New York bought him for $6,0Oo. He started in with the Giants in 1909, and at Marlin set a record as a. spring hitter by swatting the pill for twenty nine home runs w1kntn a month.
 Meyers is a sta1Wart, swarthy chap, with the typical Indian cast of coun- tenance. He is a 1inguist of consider able ability, and speaks Spanish with all the fluency of subject of King Alfonso.

PENSION BUREAU
 CHANGES CAUSING
 ROW IN CONGRESS

Washington, July 29.-A sharp fight in Congress is threatened as the result of alleged wholesale changes and de- motions in the pension bureau. Rep resentative Austin of Tennessee, a, Re- publican congressman, has offered a resolution in the house calling on Sec retary Lane of the interior departm lent for information concerning the alleged shake up especially as to whether civil service rules are being violated.
 The activity of the Republicans is said to be based on the report that when Pension Commissioner Saltzga- Der returns to his post there will be further and more sweeping changes.
 Acting Commissioners Tieman is re- ported as saying that, in the general organization, employees with Democrat ic affiliations and beliefs would be gtv- en preference on the ground that a working force in sympathy with the administration is; necessary to satisfac- tory work. Denial was made by MT Tfenan, however, that political faith would be the prime. requisite. Personal worth and official record of service, he said, would likewise carry weight.

THREE GORED BY A COW
Woman Is Seriously Injured, But
 Crowd Saves Boy.

Mount HoIIy.s N. J., July 2e-A COW belonging to Harry " Kester of Mount HOLY avenue, attacked and gored hester, his sister, Mrs. Henry Wood lngton, and her son, Norman, last night. Mrs. Woodington was the worst hurt, and her condition is critical. The attack occurred in the front yard of the kester home, and the COW was driven off only after a crowd of men had gathered.
 Mrs. Woodington and her son were first attacked and their screams brought Hester to the scene. He stumbled over a pile of boards in his hurry to aid his sister, and the COW gored him before he had a chance to regain his feet. The COW then turned it's attention to young Wood 1ngton, who was trying to drive it away, and he was saved from serious harm by the crowd.

SLIDERS ARE OUT
 IN AMERICAN LEAGUE

Chicago, July 29.-An ''unwritten law promulgated by umpires under which they declare out a batter who slides into first base was upheld to day by President Chivington of the American Association on the ground that the slide to the initial sack serves no purpose but that of confusing the umpire.
 President Chivington's statement was made in answer to in informal protest by Manager F'rie1 of St. Paul regarding play made at St. Paul the other day, when Umpire OBrien. call ed out Dixie Walker for sliding head first into first base.
 There is no time gained by sliding and in the case of first base, where the runner does not have to dodge touch, the only reason for the slide is to raise a dust that will hide the play from the umpire,'' said MT. ChiVing- ton.

international competition. It has prov ca to be the most widely and frequent ly played-for international trophy on record.
 In 1900 and 1902 the United States team successfully defended the cup against the attack of British players. In 1903 the Doherty brothers carried it to England. In the next four years the United States and AustraIasian players led the battles for the cup and finally in 1907 the famous Antipodeans Brookes and Wilding took the cup to Australia.
 There it stayed until last winter, when the English team-Parke, Dixon and Beamish-won It.
 In point of victories England still leads. The British players have won the trophy five times; Austra1asfa has been successful four times, and the United States three
