ROIT OF SPECULATION
 IN WAR STOCK ISSUES
News Had Little Effect, But Transactions Went High.- Speculation Stimulated by Az reement on Loan to Allies.

New York, Oct. 3.-The riot of spec ulation in war stocks took on a more violent phase last week. Transac- tions ran in excess of a million and half shares for each full session, with a total of about S,250,00O for the six days, while sales of bonds, at par value, approXimated $30,000,000. Ac- tual news had little to do with the movement. Rumors of intended com binations and of contests for control for certain properties were widely cir cuated.
 Speculation was stimulated by the agreement on the half billion dollar loan to Great Britain and France. London joint stock banks were report ed to be large borrowers from New York banks to supplement the purpose of the loan The hardening effect on foreign exchange was little more than moderate. The domestic money mar ket also was but slightly affected.
 Two significant features of the stock market situation were found in the continued backwardness of railroad shares and the state of the bond mar ket Investment issues are holding their own, but that is about all that can be said for this class of securi- ties. The effect of the new foreign loan on issues of a high class offers food for conjecture.
 International conditions hardly were a market factor, aside from the in- terest manifested in the new offensive of the allies.

dead still stood at POP early toniqht
 None of the 1S3 persons reported dead had been accounted for. and it was feared that many of them must be included in the number of casual ties. Of the IF persons known to have been missing Saturday, several had arrived at various points and others had reported their safety bv messenger. The total death list will be well above the 300 the authorities believe.
 None of the relief vessels sent to the more remote points throughout the devastated area had reported.
 Navigation was reported to be diff cult In many places because of the enormous quantities of debris floating. in the bayous and bays, and it is known here that in some sections the vessels can operate only in daylight. Refugees were arriving on every boat bringing with them stories of hard ships and suffering. In nearly every instance they were being landed with no belongings other than the clothes they wore. Most of them were pen nilesS.

ADMINISTRATION OF wORKnENS
MI COMPENSATION LAWS UNSATISFACTORY

American. Federation of Labor that
forty per cent of the amount due as
compensation to the workers Of New
Jersey is never paid at all.
Serious Deficiency. @
A most serious deficiency following
from the court method is the amount
o. time consumed In making settle
ments. N In the settlement Of claims
.arisilg from y fatal cases the aver
age length OF time was twenty.seven
and one.half weeks, while In 100 non
fatal cases settlement took an aver.
age Of thirty.three weeks from the
date of the injury. The report cites
several typical cases showing the ex-
tent Of the delay. In y case a WI
dow and dependent children were
obliged to wait fifty.three weeks for
an award Of $1,000 to be paid in week
~ installments. This obviously meant
that the family either became public
charges or the object of charitable
aid, and enc Of the main purposes Of
the workmen's compensation, the pre-"
ventiOn Of restitution, was thWarted.
The association estimates that the
annual cost of litigation over conlpen-
sation claims in New Jersey is be-
tween $5O,0OO and 100000. This
amount Of money tits pointed out is
spent in litigation over the seven per
cent of the claims which are brought
to the county courts which tend to
give different types of decisions Great.

The association for labor Legislation
strongly urges that all states adopt

than the court system. The associa-
ton sums up the case against the
court system with special reference
to New Jersey in the following terms;

History Of Case. {"

Mrs. Ross made the complaint, with
the resulting arrest of ellison.
History Of Case.
The alleged history Of the case is
interesting. Gibson and Mrs. Ross
came to southwestern North Dakota IN
1909, taking up adjoining homesteads
near Burt. In 1913 neighbOrs went
to the home and advised the couple
to leave. They did. They are alleged
to have come originally from West
Virginia.
They returned to that state, than
went to Chicago. They were forced
to leave there and tried Greenlaaf,
Wis., Meanwhile children Of Mrs.
Ross were on the trail and located the
couple. Gibson and his old sweet
heart then left for Iowa, where they
also remained for a while. Recently
they returned to North Dakota, maxi
ing their home with q Mr., and Mrs,
Alfred Nipps. When the Nipps couple
left the complaints were sworn out.
From West Virginia to North Dako.

to have travelled and ellison faces the
charge Of transporting a'female from

poses" on five counts.
