Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Jan. s1.-Quoted prices
suffered further severe shrinkage to-
day, the almost steady decline being at
tended by liquidation and short selling
of now familiar character. News and
general advices over the weekend es-
pecially President Wilson's address.
Washington's tense relations with Ber-
lin and London, and an Unbalanced
technical condition provided fresh am
munition for bearish attacks. OF these
influences the Presidents utterances
formed the chief topic of discussion. Ac-
cording to gossip Of the boardroom SELL
ing pressure from interior sources was
more general, the Middle West being ac-
tive in that direction. Dealings were
on larger and more varied scale than

DEATH OF VIM. ARTHUR

known In this city. is passing the VIM

she was sitting on the banks Of a canal
which passes through the little winter
resort when she observed an approach.
ing motor boat. Nothing strange in that.
Some spirit Of adventure, however,
prompted her to hail the boat and she
shouted "Ship ahoy!" A mans head ap-
peared through the cabin door and an
swered South" Where from?' was
the Rockland woman's next question. and
back came the reply Maine" as the
motor boat chugged merrily on it's way,
BY this time it had passed the woman
on the bank and she read to her amaze
ment the hailing port upon it stern.
, "Rockland, Maine" She was all excite
ment at once and shouted. Here. come
back" The little boat was turned about
and came slowly to the shore. and it was
found to be Mr. and Mrs. Walter Arey
of Belfast, who left here about four
months ago for Palm Beach in a 36-foot
boat which they purchased last fall at
Owls Head. Captain and Mrs. Arey were
royalty entertained by the Rockland col
ony in Ocean City and 1t was very
pleasant feature Of their wonderful trip.
He told them Of the trip along the coast
and showed by his charts the exact route
he had taken. He said that he had used
700 gallons Of gasoline during the four
months voyage. The boat is Of the half
cabin type and Capt and Mrs. Arey live
aboard. making port each night and buy
ing their provisions as they needed them.
Upon their arrival at Palm Beach. Cant.
Arey plans to spend the remainder Of the
season taking out pleasure parties and
will probably dispose of his boat in tho
spring and with Mrs. Arey return to Bel
fast by rail.

BANDIT CAUSES
TRAIN CREW TO
ASSIST HOLD-UP

Rawlings, IWyo, April 21.-Union
Pacific passenger train No. q was
held up by bandit west Of Hanna,
Wyo., early tonight. After compel
ling the guard on the train to take
up a collection from the passengers
in the observation car, the bandit
compelled the brakeman to collect
the valuables of passengers in one of
the two sleepers. AS the train ap-
preached Edison, the bandit dropped
from the train and ran toward the
hills.
The bandit, who is believed by rail-
road officials to be the man who re-
Gently committed two similar hold
ups, is thought to have boarded the
train at Greeley, Colo.
While engaging the guard in con-
versation, the bandit drew up two
guns. The passengers in the obser-
vaticn car were forced to drop their
valuables into hat held by the
guard, who was then compelled to ac-
company the bandit through the first
sleeper, where, however, no passen-
gers were molested.
Reaching the last sleeping car, the
brakeman was pressed into service.
AS the bandit leaped from the rapidly
running train, he rolled down the enl-
bankment and after regaining his
feet, ran to the hills.

President Hannaford Writes the
Commercial Club Of N. P.'s
Intentions.
TRAVELLING PUBLIC
VOICE SATISFACTION
Enable People to Make Trips on
North Line Quite Com
fortably.

Daily passenger service between
Bismarck and Stanton and Kildeer,
to the northwest, and Bismarck and
Cannonball and Mott, to the south
west, will be established by the Nor
thern Pacific about May -.
This welcome intelligence was con.
veyed to the Commercial club in Il
letter from President j. NJ Hanna
ford, received yesterday. President
'Hannaford says:
Referring to the correspondence
that passed between us early in the
month Tiny letter OF April 10Y, in the
matter of a daily service north and
south of Bismarck, on the Golden
Valley and Mott lines
81 told you in my letter that our
people were figuring on just what
was necessary and what could he
done to improve this service. We
have decided, commencing probably
May 10, to operate a passenger serv-
ice on both these lines, putting our
freight service on tri-weekly basis,
with extra freights whenever the
prompt handling of business demands
pends largely upon patronage for sue
cess and for continuance.
81 cannot halp feeling that the rap
id development along these lines will
warrant the service: if it does not,
that our friends and patrons will will
ingly join us in some other arrange,
ment, knowing that we will give
them the very best we can afford
Should Satisfy All.
The Commercial club feels that the
service proposed by President Hanna
ford should saslsiy everyone. The
! principaH ebjeoti6n ~. ti1e tsla1lisil-
| ment of daily passenger service in
the Mott and Kildeer branches was
that it would result in less frequent
freight service President Hanna
| ford however, promises 10 operate
all the freight trains the traffic will
warrant, and it is almost certain that
this will mean daily service during
| the summer, when the perishable
| freight is the heaviest.
Means 4 Great Deal.
Daily passenger service between
| Kildeer and Stanton and Mott and
intervening points will mean a great
deal to the retail interests of Bis
marck. There is no question that
much of the trade from this terri
tory which logically should come to
Bismarck has gone to catalogue
houses because Of the expense and
time involved in a shopping trip to
the capital city. Under tho new
regime, with trains so timed rs to ar-
rive in the city during the day and
with the number of hours which
must he spent onrOutc cut in half,
the volume OF business which will
come to Bismarck may be expected
10 be trebled.
TO Celebrate Advent Of New Service.
The Commercial club trade eXtcn-
sion committee is planning to cele-
brate the inauguration of this new
service with a booster special over
both lines. The Northern Pacific has
agreed to waive all guarantees. and
the journey will be made at the reg
ular fare. 1t is highly important that
Bismarck cultivate this rapidly de-
veloping district, and every business
man in the capital city can we'll al
