NEW YORK MARKET
IN HEAVY TRADING
Railroad Stocks More Disposed
to React Than Do Indus
triaIs-Copper Strong.

NEW YORK. April 2l-Trading con-
unued heavy on the stock exchange to-
day. but prices were generally fraction
ally under the last figures of yester-
day. Railroad stocks showed more of a
disposition to react than did the indus
trials.
Copper stocks were the strongest is
sues In the list. Utah led this group,
recording in the early trading an ad-
vance Of nearly three full points by SELL
ing at 20. 1t later eased off and lost a
up approximately a point to 1874, and
Chino, selling at 46%4, gained more than
point. The activity and strength of
these stocks was attributed to the high
prices being commanded by copper
metal.
Rock Island, the stock that reacted so
sharply yesterday, continued to decline
today. and dropped during the first
hour to 20&., but recovered in part later.
Bethlehem Steel again fluctuated radi-
cally. Having opened UP five points, at
14S. the stock advanced to 150, and later
dropped to 141. General Motors also
sold off. touching 144 for a loss of three
points.
The railroad stocks generally were
down from small fractions to one-half
a point Several, however, suffered
heavier losses. Missouri Pacific sold
off Ia points, to 153s; Missouri. Kansas
and Texas. 1as points, to 1871, and New
Hoven and Ontario and Western, issues
which yesterday advanced from five to
six points, showed the effects OF profit
taking.

Eichenhauer apartment as housekeeper,
taking her two children. Wilson moved

but she refused to accompany him and
the divorce suit was brought.
The chief witness for Wilson was
Mrs. Mary Banks, whot testified that
while she and Mrs. Wilson were fiat
hunting last October the latter con-
fessed her infatuation for Eichenhauer.
She told Mrs. Banks she had left her
husband four times and finally con-
cluded to remain with Eichenhauer be-
cause she found he was the man for
her"
Mrs. Anna Ransweiler, a neighbor OF

Tpplers Turn to Tea;
u. S. Facing Shortage
Great Boom in Market Laid to Water Wagon, While
Importers Reap Harvest-Europe's War Has Dis
tressing Effect on Supply.

with all the world going on the
water wagon the tea growers and i'm
porters are reaping a harvest for the
tipplers are turning to tea and there
is a great boom on in the tea market
throughout the world.
The United States, in fact. Is facing
a real tea shortage with advancing
prices. Tea stocks in the United
States are much lower than they have
ever been, according to the Govern
ment expert, George F. Mitchell.
supervising tea inspector OF the
Treasury Department. and prices are
s9Mnls Mr MRIticSeeil aRIti SSei u Believes that growing
will have a far reaching effect in in
creasing tea and coffee drinking; Mr..
aefares there viii be no tea famine
In this country despite the short
stocks He believes that sufficient
new supplies can be brought IN to care .
Tea Imports Soar.
Figures compiled by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce Of
the Department Of Commerce show
that for the first eight months of the
present fiscal year tea imports jumped
to nearly S2.oOO.Oo0 pounds. as COM
pared with but a little less than
a, 100000 for the same period year
ago. In the meantime the exports
have jumped from almost nothing to
3,552405 in the first eight months OF
the present fiscal year, or from July
/ to February 1. For the same period
last year exports were but 636.ll3
pounds.
The effect Of the war on the tea de-
mand is perhaps best shown by the
for einUle month For
stance, in February the exports were
195.070 pounds. as compared with 81 46S
pounds last year. February Is usually a
light month in the bulk tea trade. The
heavy months for both imports and ex'
ports are from July. when the new cror
begins to come in. until November OF
December. In imports. February OF the
present year led February, 1914 by
something under 300. 900 pounds.
Prices on all varieties of teas are up
and according to Mr.. Mitchell, they
probably. will stay up until hostilities ir
Europe cease. He says the war has not
affected the production or distribution
Of tea. but that 1t has enormously in
creased the demand. Even the soldier:
in the trenches. he says. are being giver
tea as a part Of their ration, while non
turning to 1t, as solace for the lack o.

Sink Own Submarine
Under Fire of Turks

LONDON, April a.-The admiralty
today recorded story of heroism by
the British sailors operating against the
Dardanelles In preventing the disabled
submarine Els falling into the hands
of the Turks in a serviceable condition
Two patrol boats, manned entirely by
volunteer crews, succeeded in frustra-
ting the objects of the Turks and in
torpedoing and destroying the subma-
rine. The official statement was as fol-
lows:
The Turks made great efforts to cap
ture the submarine ELS in serviceable
condition. Attempts on their part to
destroy her by long range fire from
the battleships failed. On Sunday night
two British picket boats. manned by vol
unteer crews. attacked the submarine
which was under the guns of the Turk
ish forts. The picket boats were sub
ject to a fire of 200 rounds of shots
from the fort, nevertheless they were
able to run within range and discharge
the torpedo which demolished the dis.
abled submarine. One of the picket boats
was sunk but the crew was saved by
the other.
In the operations. a British seaman
was killed.

DANISH WEST INDIA
NATIVES IN BAD WAY
Governor Forbade Meeting to Dis
cuss Grievances-Poor Food
and Epidemics a Menace.

sCOPENHAGEN, April H.-Word has
been received here from the Danish
West Indies that the natives are de-
creasing alarmingly, partly on account
of emigration and partly as conse
quence Of poor nutrition causing fatal
epidemics, mainly among the children.
There are distressing stories about the
treatment in the hospitals, where ap-
parently reforms are much desired.
IT is further said that the governor of
the islands has prohibited a public
meeting at which the natives had in
tended to discuss the situation: that he
answered a committee who called upon
him that they had better be quiet and
patient and remember that their days
of slavery were not so far distant. A
meeting was privately held. however,
and II was decided to send a repre-
sentative, a negro. to Copenhagen to
put the grievances of the population
before the Danish government.

BOTH SIDES HARD At
WORK ON RIGGS CASE

Department of Justice officials inti-
mated today that the answer of the
Government counsel In the suit OF the
Riggs National Bank against Comptrol-
Ter williams and Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo probably would not be
retdy until about the date for the hear
ing of the case. This date. as fixed by
Justice Mccoy. is May IL.
Special Counsel Brandeis and Adkins
are going carefully into the problem OF
the jurisdiction of the court. Indications
continue that they will try to make the
most of the plea that the acts of the
Comptroller cannot be reviewed by the
courts.
Against such a plea the counsel for
the bank will insist that the acts Of the
Comptroller were far outside the law.
and that under such circumstances the
contention that the courts cannot re-
view what was done is not tenable. II
the statutes under which the Comptrol-
ler claims authority should be upheld by
the District Supreme Court. the coun-
sci for the bank will attack the consti-
tutionality Of these statutes.

Must Watch Standards.
Europe's war has had another dis
tressng effect upon the tea market from
pert who is charged with the duty of
seeing that no teas below the fixed Gov
crnment standard are admitted to the
country. The increased demand. Mr..
Mitchell explains, has caused importers
to take more chances with low grade
teas. They bring them to America,
even II there Is possibility that they will
be found below the standard, comfort
able In the assurance that they nave
ready market among the warning coun-
tries If they are rejected. This means
increased work are constant vigilance
by the Government tea examiners.
Much of the increased tea trade
throughout the world because OF the
war has been in the lower grades. the
first quality teas have more or less
fixed production, and they are usually
the first on the market. being the prime
pickings
There is a distinct advantage to the
importer in getting in teas below the
Government standard This standard
fixes the minimum price. and teas pc
low this grade sell for the so-called
standard price.
States is in the black varieties. Accord
ing to Mr.. Mitchell. there is plenty of
green teas, which come mostly from
japan and China, but major portion
OF the exports have been Congous and
, Formosa, black teas, and these varieT
ties are decidedly short. Over 100000
| pounds of Congou teas have been ex-
| ported since the war, according to Mr..
, Mitchell
Big Shortage Shown.
Market reports from New, York are to
the effect that there is an actual short
age Of 16,5OO.000 pounds Of tea below
| the necessary requirements for home
consumption. These reports say ad-
vances averaging from 20 to- 25 per
cent have taken place in New York,
, London, Colombo and Calcutta. the
! great tea markets, and in other world
! centers for tea distribution. Further
more, the reports declare the harvesting
! Of the new crop OF 1855 teas will be
: delayed from four to six weeks. owing
| to severe storms which have Cndanger-
, ed the growing of the tea Plant, II
cabled advices from the East are to be

During the last fiscal year. the total
| OF tea imports into the United states
was but 9i ,33S,S65 pounds. according to
figures presented by Mr.. Mitchell in his
| annual report. For the present fiscal
year, It Is believed the imports will run
we'll over the l00.000.0O0 mark. This IN
crease will not. however. meet the In.
