WALL STREET MARKET
ACTIVE, BUT IRREGULAR
Many Good Advances Developed in

Later On.
Threatened Strike of q, 900 Railway
Employees Has Bad Effect
on Shares.

| NEW YORK. September 1.-THE New
York stock market was broad, active
and somewhat irregular as to the
various price movements, with rather
more upward than downward trend.
In the two hours 100000 shares were
traded in. The rails were woefully
neglected, further strike votes being
threatened by other than the brother
hoods affected by the eight-hour law.
dissatisfaction in labor circles being
in evidence in numerous places.
! At the opening the market started
sharply on the upturn, but before the
hour was over there had been a good
recovery and another small decline.
Then the big movement came. and
very many specialties made new highs.
while Mercantile Marine, International
ment shares advanced to 3 points: the
motor shares also advancing for frac-
tons to a point. International Paper
extended its gain to points.
Action in Steel Irregular.
| The action in Steel common was
large, but the profit taking was such
that each improvement forced a recess
sion under heavy selling. 1t opened at
1O3A, sold to 1888. dropped back to
1929, raised to 103A and came back
to 1o3H.
The rails were very slow during the
morning hours, but little more active
than on Saturday. Announcement that
eighteen roads in Chicago had refused
| shipments demands for 3 cents an hour
would be strike vote of $4,000 en-
, ployes-with result that is rarely in
question.
Whole Market Breaks.
| And then with the first hour of the
afternoon the entire market broke, the
rails more or less severely and many
| of the industrials sufficiently to wipe
out the good gains of the morning
| 1t seemed as if traders generally were
ready to cash profits, and the effort was
destructive to advances. while Jew

That the dragging rails were re-
sponsible for this desire to cash profits
is more probble, for they acted very
badly. the more SO in the noon hour.

The Intangible Tax Law.

Bankers. and probably lawyers, when

on the wording Of the intangible per-
Ssonal property tax measure. 1t offers
opportunities for argument in sustaining

whole matter may be threshed out in the
ext session Of Congress. or the text SO

Understandable to the layman. The maker

SEAlIEN'S LAW
UP TO WILSON
Union Will Appeal -
Charges Rulings Prevent
It's Enforcement

Enforcement Of the La Toilette ship
ping law will be put up to President
Wilson By the convention OF the In
tcrnational Scaman's Union of North
America, which opens its convention
on Monday night in this city. Andrew
Furuseth. president of the union ana
author of the law. charged yesterday
that it's enforcement is being blocked
by rulings from Washington.
THE non-enforcement of this law
notorious to every one who takes the
trouble to investigate said he, is not
only of interest to the seamen and the
travelling public, for whose safety IL
was drawn, but to those who advocate
national preparedness. II those who
talk preparedness were as shrewd ana
far seeing and honest as they are
noisy they would realize that the nom
enforcement of this way works against
preparedness. Ships we can always
get, because it will be 10 the proht
of the shipbuilders to fabricate them;
guns we can always get, for the munl-
tions maker Will be anxious to supply
them, but Of what use are ships ana
guns. unless you have the men to man
them?
"The most important misconstruc-
ton of the law is of that clause requir-
ing that Is per cent Of the men IN all
DEPARTMENTS of ship be able to under
s.ard oil orders piyen by the officers.
The ruling of the commissioner IS tnat
ali they must understand is orders that
would ordinarily be given. II is an
easy thing to teach men to understand
routine orders. But the law means
that they shall understand all orders,
the orders that may have TO be issued
in time of emergency as we'll as ordi-
nary routine orders. The orders that
NAV be issued in an emergency are in
conceivable in number and variety.
THAT section was made TO assure
safety at sea in emergencies. so far
we have been unable TO have the rui-
ing changed. Nominally the port col
lectors are charged with enforcing the
law. hut their hands are tied by rui-
ings from Washington. The result Is
that Americans are kept off ships.
"The whole idea of the bill is to
get American boys back to the sea.
This ruling discriminates against them
in favor of negroes, Orientals and
what not, and keeps them ashore.
There are other rulings. but none so
bad as this. If we can't get TINS rem
edied any other way we will see the
President in Washington by and by and
see what ne can do for u.s."

Sims Declares There Is No
Chance for National
Point of View
ALL LEGISLATION
ON NARROW BASIS
Thorn Pleads Again for
Fair Trial for Private
Ownership
IFrom HE rnsane Eureaul


Washington, Nov. 29.--States' rights
and not national considerations will
control whatever railroad legislation
comes from the pending inquiry, &C
cording TO the statement of Representa-
tive Thetus W. Sims, Of Tennessee, q
member of the Newlands joint railroad
committee. lie made this statement
during the cross-exsmination to-day Of
Alfred p. Thorn, counsel to the Rail-
way Executives Advisory Committee.
The examination was occupied large
~ with an analysis of conditions which,
in MIR. Sims's opinion, tend toward gov
eminent ownership. He said that the
states would refuse to surrender their
authority over railroads, and that these
considerations would dominate Con-
gress. He expressed regret at this, but
said that he had no illusions about po-
litical facts.
Mr.. Thorn said that if private owner
ship of railroads breaks down govern
ment ownership will displace it.
"And vet the railroads." said Mr..
Sims, "are not now willing to sell
their properties to the government at
a fair value"
Mr.. Thorn said he was not sure that
this statement was correct. Mr. Sims
said that he knew some railroad own
ers were pessmistic
U.ot =. RI.
"They have come to the time" said
Mr.. Thorn, "when they believe their
hands should be upheld by wise legis-
lation. Ii that fails then there is but
one thing government ownership. You
can't judge a system of private owner
ship under a system of correction and
punishment; :. can be judged under a
system in which the government gives
proper help and encouragement. If We
break down after reasonable and legit-
innate aid from the government there
will be a demand from everyone for
government ownership"
Mr.. Sims said that public opinion
would not consent to centralized con-
troll over railroads.
"If under these forty-nine controls
railroads cannot improve, why not go
at once to government ownership" he
asked.
Government ownership would trans
fer power from the states to the Fed
eral government to an even greater ex-
tent than my plan" said Mr.. Thorn.
"You 90 further than do in the ex-
tinguishment of states rights"
"The question is not what we should
get but what We can get" said Mr..
Sims. Members of Congress generally
have circumscribed local patriotism
extending to the bounds of their dis
tricts"

SHERIFF ATTACKS
TEIPER DEFENCE
Accused Mans Auto Not
Broken Down on Night
of Murder, He Says

Buffalo, Nov. 29.-Through the testi-
mony of Edward Stengel, Sheriff OF
Erie County, the prosecution to-day
established three important points IN
it's case against John Edward Teiper,
on trial here charged with the murder
of his mother, Mrs. Agnes Teiper 1t
was stated that Teiper's car, which he
said he had left broken down in the
Orchard Park road on the afternoon
preceding the tragedy, last January,
was started without any trouble the
next morning by mechanic, who
merely inserted IA magnetic brush.
Teiper, when questioned by the then
District Attorney, Wesley c. Dudley
it also was stated, at first denied own
ership Of the revolver found near the
scene of the murder, but later, after
the District Attorney had telephoned IN
Teiper's hearing to the man who sold
the revolver, Teiper admitted that the
pistol was his.
Teiper. il was further testified
guarded BY the Sheriff at the funeral
of his mother and brother, Frederick
had manifested not the slightest grief
or emotion throughout the service or
burial.
The jurors examined closely cuts or
tears in the coat and shirt that Teiper
wore on the night of the tragedy.
Sheriff Stengel said that Teiper had
called his attention to these on the day
after the murder.
"That fellow must have had knife ~
Teper had said, pointing to the cuts.
Each juror tried to match the cuts in
the coat with those in the shirtsleeve
and each examined the jagged rents TO
determine whether they were cuts or
tears.
There was no scratch or bruise on
Teiper's arm on the morning after the
murder, the Sheriff testified.
