Why James G. Fair Was
Made Senator
b, Holland

When James G. Fair was serving
in the United States Senate as a rep
resentative in that body of the State
of Nevada he must have observed that
visitors from places in the gallery
fixed their eyes upon him, yet ne
never gave any visible proof that he
was aware of that distinction. He was,
in fact. one of the first that visitors
asked to have identified, probably on
account OF the romance associated
with his career in California and Ne
vada.
Senator Fair would have been a
conspicuous personality in the O2nate
even though he were not identihed
with the Big Bonanza group and also
with the development Of California
in certain lines His was an extra

SHARP REACTION
on STOCK MART

Weakly Accounts Re-
SpOnSibIe.

NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-Owing to the
overbought condition of the industrial
market and the closing out of weak
" margined accounts the stock mar
ket experienced a sharp reaction to-
day. In the midst of the break, which
ran from one to nearly 10 points, the
maximum loss of being in Baldwin

of speculation in these shares.
Irregularity prevailed at the open

points due to the company state
ment relative TO the amount of war
orders on hand and the amount OF
orders for cars on its books Follow
ing the first . minutes, the lower
level Of prices stimulated an increas-
ed demand for stocks resulting in a
substantial recovery, but when this
wave of buying exhausted itself, there
was a vigorous bear raid which re-
suited in the closing out of weekly
margined accounts and the uncover
ing of stop loss orders which in turn
caused declines ranging from 1 to
more than II points.
\ substantial recovery from this
low level was followed by another
weakening spell in the last hour, clos
ing prices being near the low Con-
servative brokers were inclined to look
for continuation of the decline in
the first hour tomorrow from the COM
pUlsory closing out of accounts, the
