FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS FEvERIsH
Due to Apprehension Arising from In
ternationaI Situation.

New York, Jan. 4.-For want of a
more plausible reason, the feverish
tone of today's market was attributed
to increased apprehension arising from
the international situation. In point of
fact, technical conditions were mainly
responsible, recent speculative opera
tons, especially in volatile specialties,
having rendered the price list extreme
ly sensitive to adverse developments
and short selling.
Gains outnumbered losses at the
opening, but prices tended downward
soon after, recovering during the mid
session in response to spirited in
quiry for standard railways, particu-
larry transcontinentals, the coalers and
trunkAines. Fresh selling was renceun-
tered on the rise, beginning with the
petroleums and gradually extending to
all classes of specialties.
Declines on this movement impaired
much If not all of the early advances
leaving considerable number of mod
crate net losses. Prior to this reversal,
however, some new high records were
made, Mercantile Marine preferred adj

JAN 1 number Mr.. Camp says:
II WISH indeed, we might go back
to the old times when I had few
days after the final game Of the season
to check up the very voluminous rec
ords Of all the men. This year in this
rush there was not time to compare
carefully, game for game, the full rec
ords of Oliphant and Macomber, the
former having some so fast in his final
place."
Mr.. Camp gave Macomber place
at halfback on his first team and Oil
plant was chosen for his second
eleven, but later shifted these two
players. 1t is commended in the west
that Oliphant was Ineligible for the
mythical Alf-American team inasmuch
as he had competed three years In
athletics at Purdue university before
his graduation and entrance to the
West Point military academy.
Several collegians in Chicago who
the first eleven wired the following
protest to Mr.. Camp:
The local papers indicate that an
unwarranted change has been sug-
gested in Mr.. Camps All-Star team.
replacing Bartlett Macomber, a mem
Der Of the national interscholastic
champions of Chicago, as a member
of Mr.. Camps All-Star team.
That any change should be made
at this time, since the publication of
your official All-Star selection, is only
to the discredit of Mr. Camp; for it is
hardly possible that he would displace
man who in two years has proved
himself of all-star material, but that
he should be shifted in favor of a
man who has graduated from college,
so far as football is concerned in the
colleges of tho west, and who having
completed his three years of football
in this section, has played additional
years under the rules of West Point
and would be ineligible to compete
with our western or eastern colleges,
is absurd"

There are many who wish to repeal

Many advocates of suffrage for the
District urged repeal Of the half-and-

peal only in order that such represent
alton might be enjoyed.
Friends Of the District like ex-Sen-
atOr Blackburn favored repeal OF the
half-and-half law only in order that
the nation might contribute much more
than half toward capital upbuiIding.

Blackburn thought that the half-and-

that IL a definite propOrtionate cOntri-

of 35 per cent by the local community

and that he favored a system in SUBJ

which, while 1t should not limit the ma
ton to n half contribution. should be as
definite In it's protection of the local
community against unjust and excess

The repeal of the half-and-haIf law
as now propOsed does not meet any of
repeal by the groups which I have in

The repeal now proposed does not in

The Indefinite Contribution Plan.

An almost unbearable burden Of re-
sponsibility rests upon those influential
friends of Washington. in Congress
and out, who, in order to benefit the
District, join hands with those who
would repeal the half-and-half law only
to punish and to hurt the local taxpayers.
For many months men prejudiced by
erroneous beliefs who think that the
nation is under little or no obligation
to contribute toward capital mainte-
nance have openly assaulted or in
sidiously undermined the half and half
law and it's basic principle of definite
proportionate contribution by the ma
ton toward the upbuilding of the ma
tion's city. AS representatives they
have denounced the expenditure of a
cent of the money contributed in part
by their constituents to relieve the
shameless mendicants of the federal
District. They have bitterly assailed
Washingtonians as beggars of national
aims, masquerading as poor. while. in
fact. the wealthiest per capita in tax
able resources of all Americans. They
have contended that the full obligation
of municipal maintenance and develop
ment of the capital is upon the local
taxpaying community, and that the lat
ter is perfectly able, without a cent of
national contribution, to bear this bur-
den il fairly taxed. They have de-
manded the repeal of the half-and- half
law as a fraud upon the nation. They
have sought to increase District taxa
tion SO per cent by one measure. and
100 per cent by others, and these legis-
lative propositions have with difficulty
been defeated in the last Congress
in some cases only through non-con-
currence by the Senate. They openly
avow that they would tear away the
capitals financial shield and buckler-
the organic act of 1S78-in order to di-
minish or destroy national participation
in capital maintenance. They would by
double taxation compel the local COM
munity to raise all Of the revenue
needed. They would substitute for the
definite proportionate contribution of
one-hah by the nation an undetermined,
indefinite contribution, reduced to moth
ing or to very little. and that little
spasmodically, from Session to session,
as the spirit moves Congress. They
would deny or minimize into molehill
the national obligation; they would
magnify into mountain the local OBJ
legation.
Washington desperately resisted these
successive assaults upon the law which
embodied recognition of the true rela-
tion Of the nation to the capital, by
which for thirty-seven years both ma
