WEEK REGARDED
AS REMARKABLE
FOR WALL STREET
Sharp Declines in Stocks Due
to Peace Efforts by Ger
man Government and Pres
ident Wilson,


New York, Dec. "a GenerTT
closing out of speculative accounts
and widespread liquidation accom-
panied by extraordinarily severe de-
clines in prices, marked one of the
most remarkable weeks in the history
Of the stock exchange. There was
some recovery, however, in the later
dealings.
Conditions bearing up the war, as
reflected in peace developments at
Washington and the European caps-
tails precipitated the decline, which
was rendered easier by the market,
ccsSes Of the autumn months The,
hrunt of the shrinkage was borne BY
so-called outsiders, namely the public,
who had overplayed their bun posi-
ton.
In effect, however, the week marked
the elimination of almost two years
of extravagant and unrestraIned trad
ing largely in speCialties which oWed
their existence. or at least their pros
perity, to the war. standard stocks
wthstood the storm, as they had be
fore. and even minor or low priced
rails, which recently emerged from
their own protracted obscurlty, were
only slightly affected.
1t is generally conceded that the
market, technically speaking, will be
much benefited by the weeks hap
penings. Stocks have gone into
strong hands, speculative issues are
nearer to intrinsic values, and bank
loans are certain to show marked re-
duCtions from their recent enormous
totals.

LAST OF FAMOUS OUTLAW BAND
PASSED AWAY AT HIS MISSOURI
HOME LAST NIGHT. OLDEST OF
THE YOUNGER BOYS.

Lees Summit, Mo, March 22.-Cole
Younger, the last member of the no.
torious outlaw band which infested
western Missouri during and after the
Civil War, died at his home here last
night. He was a member of Guam
trell's band of guerillas and with his
two brothers took part with the James
Boys in bank and train robberies in
Missouri and adjoining states that
netted the looters more than one hun
dred thousand dollars. After a long
term in prison Cole Younger became
law abiding Missouri citizen. He was
the oldest of the three younger Boys"
After the Civil War, the Younger
and the James boys pulled off many
sensational robberies among them be-
ing the following:
in 1866. One bank defender shot dead
and $4,000 stolen.
The looting of a Russellville, Ky,
bank in 1868 for $4,000.
The Gallatn, Mo, bank robbery of
1868 in which the cashier was shot
and killed.
Raids on Lexington and Savannah,
No, banks in 1867.
Ten thousand dollars stolen from the
Kansas City Fair Association in 1871,
while 1000 persons looked on.
The Corydon, La bank robbed of
$4,000 the same year.
A dozen other sensational robberics
for which the Younger and James boys
were blamed, were carried out success
fully before the three Younger broth
ers were captured in Minnesota af
ter a raid on a bank at Mortified,
Mimi, in 1876 in the course of which
Cashier Haywood was killed
In August, 1913, Younger was con
yerted to religion at a revival meeting
and became an active church worker.

El oaso, Tex, March 22.-The

Gtsrdes are still cut today, so that
for IAo.e than twenty-four hours Gen.
eral Gsvra has been without any
news cf what is transpirlng there.
There is some mystery as to what
is happening between Juarez and
Casas Grandes. General Gavlra, the
Carranza commander at Juarez, said
he was sending a working crew Of
the raiiroad to repair the track and
wires, hut no report has been re-
ceived today and the Mexican officials
professed ignorance of what is occur
ing.
TIE railroad transportation problem
is fer from being settled and 1t is
believed here that the question will

Caranza is playing for time on >he

sequences, which may follow his 'e-

COUNTRY CLUB
TOMAKE MORE
IMPROVEMENT
BONDS WILL BE ISSUED AND EX-
TENSlvE IMPROVEMENTS WILL
BE MADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
MEETING LAST NIGHT.

Last night at a meeting of the
stockholders of the Dornick Hills
Country Club, it was voted to issue
$500 worth of bonds for the pur-
pose of making additional improve.
ments to the property.
This question was brought up at
the last regular meeting and deferred
until last night, in order to test the
sentiment of all the members on this
question and also on other questions
that were raised at that time.
President Maxwell told the stock
holders at that time that with addi.
tional cash he could make a vast i'm
provement in the club and his sug-
nights meeting. Mr.. Maxwell, who
is considered the father of the coun-
try club, will have entire charge of
the improvements, as he has the
confidence of every member, each of
whom believe he knows best what is
needed
1t was voted that a different method
be adopted of selecting directors. in
future. The names Of prospective
candidates will be posted at the club
house for a certain time before cleo
ton in order to let the members
know who are slated.
The question of admitting asso-
ciate members was also voted upon,
and it was decided that twenty-five
could be admitted upon payment Of
an initiation fee of $25 and the pay
ment of twice the amount of monthly
dues of the regular charter members.
The affairs of the club under the
able direction of Mr.. Maxwell are in
most excellent shape, and the stock
holders congratulate themselves that
they have a man of his Calibre to
direct the affairs of the institution.

Paris. Tex. March 22.-Conserya-
tive estimates of the number of peo-
pie rendered homeless by last night 5
fire in the business and residential
districts here were eight thousand,
according to Mayor McGuistion this
morning. The monetary damage is
estimated at five million dollars, al
though it is impossible to get an ac-
curate accounting.
An unusual feature was that no
lives were lost and no one was SER
iously injured
Although the city is without food,
all business houses having been burn
ed, there is apparently little suffering,
and a good natured, though dazed
view is being taken of the disaster
today.
Women and children were cared for
in the buildings that remained, and
the men who did not spend the night
fighting the fire, slept on lawns and
in the open.
The clearing of the streets started
this morning, but the job will prob
ably take several days.
The few remaining smaller build
ings are occupied today by shops and
stores of all kinds. The merchants
are dealing in commodities sent from
cities nearby by special train.
Sixty per cent of the residence and
business section of the city was de-
stroyed by the fire, which started at
$50 yesterday afternoon and burned
practically all of last night. The
flames were discovered in the ware
house of S. J. Long at the foot of
Eighteenth street, near the Texas &
Pacific tracks.
The wind at the time was blowing
almost a gale and drove the flames
so fercely that they were soon be-
yond control. The wind was from the
southwest to the northwest, and in
less than two hours a desolate waste
was created extending in width from
Eighteenth to Twenty-fifth street and
from half way up from the Texas q
Pacific depot to the square, including
many costly dwellings and the Epis-
copal, Congregational and First Bap-
tist churches, the Smiley Apartment
house, the Belford Flats, a four-story
building erected year ago; the new
six-story Gibraltar hotel, the Merrick
hotel, and many other structures.

War Department is Prompt.

Sam II. Butler Of this city is i'm
pressed with the prompt attention
which the war department gives to
REQUESTS made by citizens. There was
a Thomas Butler slain during the raid
at Columbus. As Mr. Butler has a
nephew in the army by that name. he
wrote to Mr.. Carter and Mr.. Carter
took the matter up with the depart
.ment, with the result that within a
week Mr.. Butler had letter giving
him a full account of the Thomas But
Der who was slain and of the Thomas
Butler who is his relative. The un-
fortunate soldier was not related to
Mr.. Butler.

FRUIT FROM FLORIDA
Fresh Shipment from the Dunn & Gil
lam Ranch in That State Arrived

Fresh Shipment from the Dunn q Gill
lam Ranch in That State Arrived
]. Robert Gillian is taking a special
pride today in exhibiting some fine
fruit and vegetables that have ar
rived by express from the Dunn & Gil
lam ranch in Florida. In the ship
ment were some healthy looking well
developed ripe tomatoes, some green
peppers and fruit called the kumquat
which is species of the desert lemon.
1t has the color of the orange or
lemon and the flavor is more of the
lemon than of the orange. The ranch
also grows oranges, lemons and lines
and Mr.. Gillian is dreaming of the
days when he shall have amassed a
great fortune in Oklahoma oil lands
and shall retire to Florida and live on
that fruit farm when he gets ready to
retire from life's activities. But Bob
is made of the mettle that will not
retire and if he should add a few mil
lions to the fortune he already has, he
would still remain here and be more
active than ever in developing wild
cat territory which he is making a
specially of in southren Oklahoma.
