STOCK EXCHANGE OPENS
SATURDAY FOR TRADING
Committee to Allow Restricted Deal
ing in Shares for Cash Above
Minimum Prices.

NEW YORK, December S.-Dealings
in stocks on the New York Stock Elk
change. which came to an abrupt halt
at the close OF business July 80 last,
because of the disturbed financial con-
dition abroad. are to be resumed under
certain restrictions next Saturday.
The governing body Of the exchange
has empowered the special committee
of FIVE, which has exercised full super
vision over stock dealings during the
period Of enforced closure, to take such
action. at the same time defining the
committees powers under the laws of
the exchange. The list of stocks which
may be bought and sold under the new
regulations included nearly 200 Issues
out of a total Of the 565 listed on the
exchange. No restrictions will be i'm
posed on shares selling at or under
SIS. number Of active, II unim-
portant, stocks come within this figure.
as well as numerous industrials.
The restricted list embraces many Of
the better known industrials and vir-
tually all the railway issues which
form no part of the so-called interna-
tfonal group. It does not include
United States Steel. Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific. Canadian Pacific, Bal
timore and Ohio and New York Cen
trail. all Of which are extensively held
abroad. Canadian Pacific and Balti-
more and Ohio were the most active
of American stocks in the Berlin mar
ket.
The principal reason for the exclu-
sion of these stocks appeared to be
based upon the belief that foreign
owners and allied interests might pre-
cipitate a heavy selling movement If
opportunity afforded.
Trading in stocks, with the excep-
tion of those under SIS. is to be con-
Quoted on the same basis as that which
now applies to bonds, namely. strictly
for cash and not under minimum
prices to be established by the COM
mittee from time to time.

LEFT MESSAGES TELLING
OF PLANS FOR SUICIDE
Police Think William E. Coggswell
Jumped Overheard From
Norfolk Steamer.

Several notes written by William E.
Cogswell. twenty-seven years old, who
conducted q lunchroom at 1859 U street
northwest, suggested to his father and
the police that he committed suicide
last night by jumping overheard from
one of the steamers of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company.
The first that was known of the
young mans Intentions was the finding
of a note by his father. William 1.
Cogswell. when the latter reached his
place of business. 615 AZ street south
west, from his home at Ballston, Va,
this morning.
Mr. Cogswell hurried to police head
quarters and reported his sons disap-
pearance. He said that the note con-
tained a statement that his son had
made a failure of life and that he was
going to end all by jumping from a
Norfolk steamer.
with their Norfolk Office and learned
that CogsweIl disappeared from the
boat, probably about o'clock, when
the steamer was passing point near
Fort Washington. He paid for his
ticket and stateroom before the steam
er left its wharf at the foot of 9TH
street.
Two notes. one addressed to young
Cogswelrs wife and the other to his
father, were found in the stateroom
and will be brought here on the boats
return trip. The harbor police have
requested members of the crews Of
boats to be on the alert on their trips
down the river, thinking Cogswells
body may be found floating or on the
shore.

trust companies were here today for a
conference with the federal reserve

posed on such institutions entering the

Limitations to be put on real estate
loans by state banks formed one of

point today, although regulations for
the admission Of such institutions have
been under consideration by it since
the opening of the reserve banks
Those who had been invited to attend
the conference included. representing

COMPLETE REPRESENTATION.
The Larger Manifestation of District
Suffrage Desirable.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I hope the Chamber of Commerce will
adopt the report Of the special commit
tee in favor of full representation for
the District Of Columbia in both
branches of Congress and in the cleo
toral college
AS chairman of the District Delegate
Association for several years, and dur
ing my arguments and pleas for repre-
sentation for the District of Columbia
in Congress by a delegate. the convic-
ton has grown upon me that we were
justified in asking for more than dele
gate representation.
While the District Delegate Associa-
ton believed that a delegate in the
House would be a decided advantage
over the present system, and have been
working for 1t for that reason, and be-
cause especially 1t would be a means to
the end Of securing more complete rep
resentaffon. at the same time, If this
latter can be obtained by the same
efforts that would be required to Sc
cure delegate. then we should stop
at nothing short of that.
l earnestly urge that all advocates
OF delegate for the District indorse
and work for the larger program of
more complete representation. All the
would be realized and many additional
ones. 1t will. Of course. require a long
er time to secure full representation,
involving. as it seems to, a constitu-
tional amendment, while a delegate
could be granted by a single act of
Congress. Nevertheless. the same is
sues would be raised by Congress in
granting a delegate. and the matter
might as we'll be settled In favor of
full representation while the question
is agitated.
Every citizen of this community
should now earnestly cooperate, in my
opinion. for the plan as mapped out by
the special committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, which calls for our right
to vote for our own representatives in
the House and Senate. as well as to
vote for President and Vice President
of the United States.
Those who desire more radical pro-
gram should be satisfied to secure this
first. If, later. the people of the Dis
trict should wish a more extended form
of local government. then we would
be in better position to obtain it. But
II that involves the abolition of the
present half-and-half plan, then I do
not believe Washington would go so
far, for Congress will never vote away
its prerogative of exercising exclusive
jurisdiction over the National Capital,
and for obvious reasons it should not.

URGES AN INQUIRY
0NBR|BERY CHARGE
Senator Robinson Would Have
Investigation of Accusation
Reported From Mexico.

When the Senate assembled today
Senator Robinson Of Arkansas again
urged the adoption Of his resolution
providing for an investigation of a re-
port originating in Mexico and pub
lished here to the effect that the Car
rama government of Mexico had paid
$4,000 to two senators of the United
States to use their influence to bring
about the withdrawal Of the United
States troops from Vera Cruz. He
said that he intended to move that the
resolution be amended SO that the in
vestigation be made by the Senate
lobby committee, instead of the foreign
relations committee, as originally pro-
posed, because Senator Stone. chair
man Of the latter committee, had stated
his committee had much important
work before 1t.
Senator Smoot Of Utah said that he
had hoped Senator Robinson would with
draw the resolution. since he believed
that the Senate should not dignity such
reports by paying any attention to them
Before action could be taken upon the
resolution the Senate took a recess 80
as to go to the House to hear President
Wilson deliver his message to Congress.

port Of the census bureau. issued today,
showed that 1906, 105 bales of cotton
had been ginned up to December 1 this
year, or fully 100000 bales in excess of
any previous record. The report failed
to exert much influence on the market.
The opening was steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of points in
sympathy with reports of generally
steady spot markets at the close yes
terday and the steady showing of
Liverpool, and the market was very
quiet during the early trading. with
prices easing OF 2 or 3 points under
liquidation.
