American Decline in London an Ad-

NEW YORK. June S.-Sentiment was
less cheerful and prices were lower at the
opening of the stock market today. Fears
Of failure of Mexican mediation. owing
to the Tampico situation. eNerted de-
pressing influence.
Declines of American stocks in London
also affected this market adversely. and
the firm tone which prevailed most of
the time last week was no longer evident.
No efforts were made. however. to bring
severe pressure to bear, and selling was
in small volume
Some Early Losses.
Early losses ranged from a small frac-
ton in Reading to a point in New
Haven.
Suspension of the Tampico blockade by
the Mexican government changed the
course of speculation. Traders who had
sold on the belief that a serious crisis
was imminent bought back their stocks
and the list quickly overcame the initial
depression.
Conspicuous strength in a few proml-
nent shares lent impetus to the rally.
Speculation was more active on the up
turn. with concerted buying in rev
issues. such as Canadian Pacific, New
Haven and Beet Sugar.
Buying came chiefly from the short in
terests.

italian Poets Decision Is Sequel to
Recent Visit-His Wardrobe
Amazing Collection.

Special Correspondence Of The star.
LONDON. May 36.-The reported deci-
sion of the great Italian poet and play
wright. Gabrielle d'Annunzio to reside
permanently In England. is evidently a
sequel to his recent visit to Liverpool to
witness the contest for the Waterloo cup.
Signor d'Annunzio returned to Rome full
of enthusiasm for the beauty OF Eng
land, and he declared that no city he
had ever seen moved him so profoundly
as London.
His artistic instinct was deeply stirred
by its Turneresque splendors: its con-
slant play of light and shade He ex-
pressed A desire at the time to experience
the changing loveliness OF London
through the whole of the four seasons:
now. apparently, he wishes to live here
altogether.
He is negotiating, it is said. for
permanent residence in London. House
agents may find him difficult to please If
all that is said about his love of luxury
is true.

value of his stock could not be ar
rived at by looking at the quotations
of the sale of any number of shares
of stock on April 1, 1913, but that
you must divide the total, which you
obtain by multiplying the number of
shares by that quotation, by ten, is
, that right? Ain this particular
stock it was the opinion of the board,
and is my opinion now, that If it were
all thrown on the market, unless you
find man who was able to buy, it
would be worth practically nothing,
because the stock represented purely
managerial ability.
Q-You don't mean that throwing
1886 shares of Sears, Roebuck stock
on the market at one time would de-
press the price, do you? Al did
not say that. l didn't mean that.

sive house. You build a very expen-

AUTOS DO SPLENDID
SERVICE FOR POLICE
Maj. Sylvester Hopes to Persusds
Congress to Buy Auto Patrols for
Each Precinct Next Year.

The automobile has done wonders for
the police department. There are now six
notor-driven patrols serving the pre-
cincts and one at headquarters for the
use OF detectives.
In his last annual report Mai Richard
sylvester. superintendent OF police,
spoke Of the automobile as follows: The
police departmsns every where are mod
ernizing In the application Of the motor
vehicle, first. for the reason that Il 10
expeditions. and the saving OF time fol-
lowing a murder. burglary. or other
alarm IN most Instances means enhanced
chances for arrest and recovery. In fact.
the use Of the automobile has enabled the
police TO apprehend housebreakers while
they were at work on the premises select
ed for burglary"
Though the automobile patrol was intro
duced here q year or two ago, police
headquarters did not have a car to send
men out on hurry cases until a few
weeks ago. Already this car has more
than proved its worth.
Eventually Maj. Sylvester hopes that
he will be able to get money enough from
Congress to buy an automobile patrol
for each precinct. AS il Is now one car
must do the work OF two. there being
eleven full precincts and two substa-
tIons.

Commissioners in another letter tCId the
Secretary OF the Treasury that Early
never was q resident OF the city and has
no claim upon this municipality. The
Commissioners point out that EarIy's
frst visit here was for business with the
United States government. and that his
second and third trips here we're in viola

tions promulgated by the Secretary OF the
Treasury
Representative Fred Britten. Of IIiinois.

tioRal home for lepers, but until this bill
