WAR AND MEXICAN
 STOCKS GO DOWN
Excitement and Free Selling on Watt Street as Shares Break From
 Four to Eight Points.

New York, April 22.-Today's two hour session of the stock market was attended by much excitement and further free selling. War shares, and the stocks of companies operat- ing in Mexico broke four to eight points and the entire list, including investments, was unfavorably affected.
 News over the Good Friday hol- iday was anything but reassuring from the Wall Street point of view. Latest developments in the German crisis were viewed with increased concern and reports of the proposed cancellation of American concessions in Mexico were responsible for the acute weakness in that quarter of the list Mexico Petroleum fell over eight points, with three to four points de clines in American Smelling and Greene Cananea. United States Steel, which at first resisted pressure, soon fell away to the lowest price in some weeks, and leading rails were lower by one to two points.
 At today's low average special stocks comprising the munitions group, motors, equipments and sec ondary industrials were at minimum prices of the year, while some of the same shares were from thirty to fifty points under last years maximum quotations.
 Dealings were very heavy and broad and in large part represented selling by discourage speculative interests. There was also considerable liQuida- tion from investment sources.

. THE BRIDGE WITHDRAWAL

IN Withdrawing the petition for ap-
proval of the Walnut street bridge,
which was to have been heard be-
fore the Public Service Commission to-
day the City Council exhibited prop
er appreciation of the relation of the
city and the State. Governor Brum-
baugh declared that under no circum-
stances will he do anything to further
this proposition, but will exercise the
full power of the Commonwealth to
prevent the construction of a bridge
at Walnut street. He and his asso-
ciates of the Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings are strongly of opinion
that the Walnut street project would
seriously interfere with the develop
ment of the Capitol Park extension
program.
1t is practically agreed that an or
namental viaduct at State street with
an approach from Walnut street would
be more satisfactory in every way
than the original subway idea or the
proposed structure at Walnut street.
While Arnold W. Drummer and Warren
II. Manning, who are making a care
full study of the problem for the Com
monwealth, have not reached a def
mite conclusion, it is understood that
a viaduct at State street. with orna-
mental approaches from North and
Walnut streets, appeals to them as the
most practical solution. This arrange
ment and proper restrictions as to the
height of buildings in the Paxton
Creek valley between Market and Herr
streets would, it is believed, preserve
the park idea from the Capitol to the
bluff fringing the Allison Fill ap-
proaches to the viaduct and which
would be SO screened by shrubbery as
to create the impression of a park the
entire distance.
But the details aside, the withdrawal
of the city's petition at this time will
prevent an unfortunate clashing of
interests which are mutual and should
be harmonious at every turn. Good
sense is a prime quality in the devel-
opment of individuals and communi-
ties.

HUGO MUNSTERBERG

NERMANY loses a highly respected
NJ and powerful advocate in
America by the sudden death
of Hugo Munsterberg. Nobody has
done more in the United States to
urge the claims of the Central Powers
for public sympathy since the out
break of the great war than the emf
nent Harvard psychologist. His Wig
orous defense of German policies
brought down upon his head the only
severe criticism directed at him since
he left Germany to take up his per-
manent residence in this country.
However. his loyalty to the land
of his birth did not prevent him from
desiring we'll for the country of his
adoption, since his most recent effort
was toward a realignment of the
nations after tho war. bringing into
close alliance for lasting peace, the
United States, England and Germany.
He was probably as much misunder-
stood by his critics as he misunder-
stood many of them,

Because God made me wise in healing

Poor were Purifiers of the World"
To whom no childhood pleasure
ever comes.
They crept in dozens, scores. up to my
knee,
Their poor pinched faces old beyond
their years,
The little crippled bodies, helpless
limbs,
And hopeful faces filled my eyes
with tears.
I wondered how ] ever dare to say,
That / q man of miracles could bet

Before those little tots who trusted
me!
And then the Voice came whispering

sentiments expressed by the state
leaders and by their colleagues. The
Democrats provided for a steering
committee of bosses and legislators to
Graft legislation and to make up the
party program, just as they did be-
fore. This year the steering commit
tee will probably get more considera-
ton than before.
The Democratic program will in
clude an assault on the assistance
clause and demand for change in hos
pital appropriations. Local option will
be let severely alone.
The Philadelphia Inquirer gives
this version of the Penrose comment
OF Governor Brumbaugh's declaration
that he welcomed an investigation of
the State government:
So the Governor welcomes AN in
vestigation,' remarked Senator Pen
rose, and then added slowly and with
smile almost sardonic, Well, l think,
perhaps, We'll accommodate him.
For some time there have been
rumors of quiet investigation insti-
tuted by Penrose adherents, of the ex-
penditures under the Brumbaugh adj
ministration and the alleged political
activities of State administration off,
cials.
Auditor General-elect Charles A.
Snyder, who spent some time with
Senator Penrose yesterday, has eX-
pressed himself freely as to what he
intends TO do in this respect when he
takes office, and he is engaged in an
investigation upon his own hook"

THE EIGHTH INDICATED

TAPTAIN SCHBLL'S report OF
~ Eighth regiment conditions at
the Border are precisely what
those who are acquainted with the
makeup of the regiment expected.
"Mutiny" is harsh word and when
applied to the escapade of a dozen or
q score of soldiers, prompted by high
spirits and the opportunities that idle
hands find for mischief, it is not only
out of place but is an insult to the
whole military history of the Guard.
The Eighth regiment, which includes
the two Harrisburg companies, con-
stitutes as fine a body of men as ever
responded to a call to arms. There
has never been a question as to their
patriotism. One and all they might
have shirked when the troops were
at Mt. Gretna, had they so chosen.
They went to the border voluntarily,
expecting to be called upon to repel
invasion, if not to join in the chase
for Villa. That they have been held
in Texas by the piffling policies of
an administration that does not know
its own mind naturally makes the
men restive. Not one of them would
want to go home" if they saw a
chance for active service, but nobody
can blame them for desiring either to
perform the duties of soldiers or to
return to the activities of civilian life.
Many of them have families at home
and nearly all of them sacrificed SAL
airy and position to enter the service.
True, one and all of them will be
the better physically for their whole
some life in the open and all will re-
turn home trained soldiers fit for any
duty, but these benefits cannot en-
tirely make up for the material losses
of the privates in the ranks who will
be fortunate If they find their old Jobs
awaiting them when they return. The
longer the period of service the great
er the difficulties in this direction.
But Captain schell - supported by
Colonel F'inney and Lieutenant Col
onel Kemper asserts that the men
in the main are contsnted, their dis
cipline excellent and their condition

UTOPIA OF SOUTH SEA TALES
IS PLACE WITHOUT SIN

TN the Pacific Ocean, midway be-
tween California and Australia, says
the New York Telegram. there is a
mountain of rocks two thousand feet
high, with an area of about two miles
square, known as Pitcairn Island, whose
inhabitants, numbering exactly one
hundred and sixty, including a clergy
man and his wife, have sent an appeal
through Captain Griffith Griffiths of the
steamship Port Hardy to the people of
the United States for clothing, paper
and pencils, paraffin, oil, soap and nails.
THAT is all we need" said the clergy
man and the chief magistrate or gov
ernor of the island to Captain Grifiths
June 2 when the Port Hardy, on its way
to the United States, stopped after
sighting two large whaleboats, each
carrying thirty men, women and chill
dren, two miles off Pitcairn.
Captain Griff1ths and the crew of
sixty men gave the natives all the cloth
ing they could spare. The women and
young girls, all barefooted, were great
ly disappointed when told there were
no women's clothes.
A sailing vessel from Tahiti, five hun
drel miles to the northwest and the
nearest island, had called at Pitcairn
ten months before, which was the only
word the natives had heard of the out
side world in four years.
Borrow an English Flag
At that time they were told England
was at war, and the island being an
English possession the natives borrowed
an English flag from the master of the
sailing vessel and climbed to the top of
Pitcairn, where the flag was placed and
was still flying when the Port Hardy
came to a stop last June.
The natives of Pitcairn are the direct
descendants of the crew of ii. NJ. S.
Bounty, which, April 2S, 1888, ,mutinied
and seized the vessel after setting the
commander, Lieutenant William Blight,
and those of the crew who wished to
go with him, adrift in open boats. The
Bounty put in at Pitcairn, where 1t re-
mained for several months. Fletcher
Christian, leader, and fourteen men then
went to Tahiti, where twelve men and
their wives were taken aboard and the
return trip to Pitcairn was made The
Bounty was then set on fire and de-
| stroyed.
! No one except the masters of sailing
vessels and steamships set foot on the
island and no one ever stopped there
more than a few days until twenty
years ago, when a clergyman and his
wife went from Melbourne on hearing
that the natives of Pitcairn were very
religious, but without minister of the
gospel. They are Seventh Day Advent

For every blessing / depend
On Thee-Thou loveth me.
Yet I'm ungrateful, vain and rude.
And weak when sin allures;
1 render evil for Thy good
And yet Thy good endures.
Our smiling land abundance yields;
No blast of famine shocks;
All verdant are our boundless fields
And f1ourishing our fiocks.
The flowers bloom, birds sing their
lays,
In Thee rejoicing, while
The hills and wales give Thee their
praise in natures smile.

Thee,
And for Thy praise would work;
But while af1oat on life's rough sea
My task ofttimes | shirk.
Yet when sin tempts my soul to stray
Into the realms of night
Thou saveth me from evils way
And guideth me Alright.
Dear Lord! Thy hands been at the

Through all my weary years;
When pangs of sorrow overwhelmed
Thou hast been more than friend to
me;
Thou art my life complete.
