Trading in securities last week was
uncertain. as the course OF general
business has been undecided, and the
country is waiting 10 see what is to he
the attitude Of the administration
toward industry In addition. the
depressing influence Of the Mexican
situation became more pronounced.
The investment demand Of a few weeks
ago has largely disappeared. Bond
transactions on the Stock Exchange for
the week were about S15,0OO,O0O par
value, where the total for the first
week in February was S23,oOOOOO,
with a great unrecOrded business done
over the counter. Money. however,
continued abundant in this country and
abroad, and new issues here were well
absorbed.

the prestige and experience Of John
Bassett Moore emphasized the lack of

time when the best ability was needed
to carry out the peculiar policy Of the
administration toward Mexico. Great
Britain's forbearance in the Benton
case has put off for a time the settle

from Mexico. The strain Of the coun-

be judged from President Wilson's
words in urging Congress to keep faith

New Trade LEGISLATION Lays.

Federal legislation that is 10 lay
down new rules TO which trade must
conform advanced little. The Chamber
Of Commerce of this state, refused a
hearing at Washington, has announced
its opposition TO the bills prohibiting
price cutting and interlocking directo-
rates. declaring that i'm their present
form they would disrupt legitimate
business without any compensating
benefits Even common directors for
different railroad companies, members
of the same system, would be pro-
hibited. The Interstate Trade Com
mission may finally be limited to in
quiry into corporations suspected Of
violating the Sherman law.
In the mean time the railroads await
ing some relief from the Interstate
Commerce Commission, are exhibiting
discouraging reports Of gross earnings,
almost wiped out in net by increased
expenditures, despite reduction In ap-
preparations for maintenance. In a
petition asking that they be relieved
from the burden Of the fun crew law
in the State of New Jersey the rail-
roads pointed out that they were facing
such financial crisis as had not been
felt i'm this part Of the country for
twenty-five years. Talk is heard Of the
possibility Of the roads being driven to
government ownership. with all that
this has meant in Europe in high cost
and lessened efficiency.

Drastic Censure for ST. Paul.

The drastic report Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, charging the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul with
Juggling accounts for the purpose OF
floating securities and with overvalu-
ing the Puget Sound extension Of 500,
100000, may have depressing in
nuence on the credit of American rail-
ways here and abroad. IT, as the rail-
way management asserts, the question
at issue is merely one of bookkeeping
methods, il is to be regretted that the
censure of the commission could not
have been expressed in more qualified
terms.

States Express Company had been
forced to retire from business called to

press companies. They are finding it

young Doctor Jordan was
called to Valatia to study the sani-
tary conditions in an effort to reduce
the alarming death rate, he quickly
discovered that the principal source
of infection was Harrison Pratt's
pottery factory, together with the
novels which he maintained as tene-
ments for his employees. Jordan
called On Pratt and demonstrated
with him, to no avail. A public pre-
ventorium was established to care
for the incipient cases, and one Of
the most enthusiastic workers was
Eloise Pratt The mutual interest
in humanitarian projects brought
Eloise and DR.. Jordan together and
in a short while their interest be-
came more personal.
Jordan was invited to the Pratt
home on the occasion of Eloise's
birthday party. The girls beauty so
captivated him that he declared his
love for her and was accepted. Mr.
Pratt, learning Of this became furi-
Gus and ordered Jordan out of the
house. Eloise did everything in her
power to convince her father of
Jordan's worthiness, to no avail, as
Pratt's anger was added to by the
appearance of an editorial written
by Jordan in which he denounced
the conditions on the Pratt proper
ties.
1T was shortly after this that Ell
roise was taken i'll and it developed
that one of the Swanson girls had
communicated the disease to the
household. On the family physic-
ian's advice Jordan was called in, and
it was only owing to his skill that
her life was saved
''This happening thoroughly con-
WINGED Pratt of the real need of re-
form, and he became reconciled to
his daughters marriage and even
placed his country home at Jordan's
disposal for a sanatorium." II
