THE HUDSON IN HISTORY.
(By James w. Hervey.)

The Hudson, beautiful and allur-
ing as it is on the surface, also pos
sesses treasure of fact and fancy
which only the hand of research can
bring to light. To him who has delved
even specifically into the vast array
of historic and legendary lore of this
fascinating region, the Hudson Val
ley becomes vast storehouse of the
most absorbing material.
Fortified with the fruits of delight
full explorations among the abundant
literature of the river, the traveller
sees the Hudson in entirely new
aspects. Added to his ability to ap-
preciate it's natural attractiveness, he
is now able to place each cove and
headline in its correct historic set
ting, surround it with the strange and
fantastic figures of legend and
story, and people it with the early
heroes of colonial days.
Revolutionary times left much of
interest here. Directly south of the
West Shore Terminal is the spot
where the Burr Hamilton duel took
place. Block House Point was the
scene of the "cow chase" which the
clever Andre described in verse after
Light Horse Harry" Lee and Cen
eral Wayne had driven the British
and their cattle from that point. The
history of Fort Lee, which figured
largely in Washington's evacuation OF
New York in 1776 is so familiar as
to need little mention here. An ar
tistic monument marks it's location.
Alpine and its 150-year-old farm
house, once the headquarters of Lord
CORVALLIS, brings back memories of
the two invasions of New Jersey at
that point by CORVALLIS and Grey, re-
Spectively. Sneden's Landing, just
opposite Dobb's Ferry, marks the
anchorage ground of British fleet
from 1776 to 1778, and the spot where
the American flag was first saluted
by the Mother Country.
These few facts about the river re.
gion nearest New York are indicative
of the wonderful historical storehouse
which extends throughout the length
of the Hudson River Valley.
About the Tappan Zee, which il
three and one-quarter miles across a
it's widest centers the legendar!
lore of the lower river. Here Ram
bout Van Dam is doomed to perpetual
rowing for misunderstanding indis
cretions in Manhattan's early days
These extensive waters are also tn,
favorite sailing ground of the phan
ton "Flying Dutchman," which as
tonished Peter Stuyvestant and hi
worthy burghers by appearing mys
teriously before the Battery one da.
and then sailing up the North rive
against tide and wind never to re
turn. Coming down to more authen
tic times, we hear of the brave ex
plot of Captain Hurlbut and hi
crew at Tarrytown. Being drivel
from two "rebep supply ships after
, desperate conflict with the English
they swan back to their abandone
charges after the enemy had set fir
to them, and at great risk of ex
pected powder explosions, put gu
the flames and saved the stores fror

struction.
And so it goes; each mile of tn
journey unfOlds its visions of tn
: past. The. broad waters Of the TIP
pan Zee give way to the rock-hew
channel of the Highlands, where CIV

lBy cable TO The Tribune
Paris, April 3.--The great event
of the last week has been the Allied
conference in Paris. The official com
munique said that unity of action
would include economic and military
affairs, and added that the Allies
had decided to put in practice IN
economical affairs their solidarity of
views and interests. They charge
the economical conference soon to be
held in Paris with the work of pro-
posing necessary measures TO realize
that solidarity.
This approaching conference must
not be COMPOUNDED with the great in
ternational parliamentary confer
cnce which was set for March q,
but has now been put off until April
"a.
The parliamentary conference has
said it would not take up the ques-
tions of customs. but would leave
them to the governments to regu-
late. This is a very wise course.
The economical conference which
meets next week will include not
only members of the government but
diplomats and functionaries.

MARKET NEWS
AND COMMENT
Rise in the Industrlals
BrOadens Out in the
Late Trading.
u. S. STEEL LEADS
AFTERNOON RISE
Copper Stocks Firm for a Time
Dealings in Railroads on
Small Scale.

There came over Sunday no bad
news to affect the market adversely,
and this encouraged speculation for
the rise. Such buying was Of rather
more substantial character, and IN the
late afternoon the advance broadened
out to take in a fairly wide range OF
industrials. Railroads in fear of for
eign selling we're generally left alone.
Many usually active carriers were not
dealt in at all during the forenoon and
the list was abnormally quiet all day.
The copper stocks had something of an
upturn carly, but their advance was
not sustained.
Capture of Villa by our forces in
Mexico, which some reports had i'm
minent on Saturday. seemed further
away when yesterday mornings papers
were read, and the so-called Mexican
group was not the strong feature 1t
had been at the end Of the week The
German encirclng movement at Yer
dun appeared TO have made some prog
ress over the week end and the sub
marine campaign continued to be pros
ecuted with Understanding vigor. All
this kept down outside participation IN
the dealings, and the days business
was at the half-million share rate
that prevailed last week.
A good deal of uncertainty was ap-
parent at the opening, with few issues
greatly changed from Saturdays close.
A handful Of industrial speclaltes
were advanced and the coppers i'm
proved in the morning. Dealings were
light after the first hour, and a little
professional selling around noon halt
ed the upturn for while Around the
middle Of the afternoon United states
Steel, which had been holding steady
on a small amount of business, was ad.
vanced. Other industrial issues joined
the war stocks in their rise, with more
or less short covering in evidence.
Steel was strong at the close, end
ing a shade under sc. up more than
point. Mercantile Marine preferred
was I'm all day, and rose in the late
dealings, to end with a gain of more
than 3 points. Alcohol was up more
than 9 points at the close. Crucible
over 8 and Baldwin and American Lo-
comotive. American Car and Foundry
and Maxwell Motors made net gains
of and 2 points or more. The cop
pers did little in the late upturn, IN
spite of the announcement that Miamis
dividend had been raised from 50 to
Sc a year.
The Anglo-French IS and the new
Canadian bonds continued to furnish a
large proportion of dealings in bonds
on the exchange. Tne Allied notes
were dealt in as high as 90 for $1,000
bond for the first time this year.
Rumors of further financing here by
foreign powers continued in circula-
ton. but no important new loans were
announced yesterday.
The exchange market was quiet, with
rates a little lower than at the end
OF the week. Funds for stock market
purposes were practically unchanged.
Cali loans were not made higher than
. per cent, which was the renewed
rate. Mercantile paper was in no large
supply and rates were unchanged from
those of the week before.

stocks were dealt in. Miscellaneous

RESERVE BANK ALLOTMENT
Gets S6,120.000 of New Government IS
and One-Year Notes.

The New York Federal Reserve Bank
announced yesterday that it had been
allotted s6,120,0O0 as its share OF the
s30,OO0,00O of per cent thirty-year
bonds and one-year notes which the
Secretary of the Treasury has offered
to exchange for government ? per cent
bonds. Under the ruling OF the Fed
eral Reserve Board half of this amount
will be converted as of April l, 20 per
cent on July and 25 per cent on
October l.
on those dates the new bonds and
notes will be distributed in equal
shares. The local reserve institution
will therefore have on the present diS-
tribution 81 100000 of 3 per cent bonds
and a similar amount of 3 per cent
notes. The bank recently offered 10
purchase S50O0.000 of the ? per cent

spoke of him as "Mr. Henderson" He had accepted place as Lookout" for a faro game operated in the camps largest saloon. Stories were already legion about him. Mostly, of course imaginary, for no one knew where he came from.
 Still some were authentic-for in- stance the one which they told of Mister Henderson" killing four men who had tried to deny they owed bills to Gllson-when Gilson's wife was settling up the business.
 Of the killing of Rotten Ramsey" a character of il repute from a dis tant mine who had called Henderson "Slivers!"
 He seemed to bear a charmed life. He had been shot at twice from am bush with never a scratch to show fer it.
 Three times also he had walked up on men who were shooting at him-men who were known to the camp as excellent shots-and had killed them with the same rusty gun by which Bardon had met his death.
 In three months he was credited with twelve dead men and he had be- come immune from insult or even technical slight
 When men entered the saloon they invariably called a greeting to MT. Henderson" who responded with a nod or a curt word. Unlike any other western bad man" he sat with his back to the door and carried only the one short, rusted weapon tucked in- side his shirt. (Stories are still told how he carefully unbuttoned the first billed shirt" he wore so he might kill man who had contradicted the 0f tho hi while the victim sat absolutely hypnot- ti' ed and inactive.)
 To curry favor or to have his name to use in protecting their claims. men had given him shares until he was now well off
 Seven months from the time he had killed Bardon Mister Henderson" de clared his intention of leaving the camp. He offered no explanations and no one had the temerity to question.
 He was dressed in the height of camp fashion-had two suit cases full of the best clothes the merchants could order for him and over six thousand dollars in money.
 He had purchased a ticket for St. Louis the operator had informed the camp-one way only.
 Seated in the train Henderson went over again and again the plans he had made in the last half year.
 He was going back to St. Louis. Going back to see Officer Carey-and as he said the name to himself there was a look came into his eyes that the camp had never seen-
 He wanted to see Carey. His soul yearned for the meeting even as it had yearned that night, now long ago, to hear again Gilson, the store-keeper, repeat the words MT. Henderson
 For six months he had sat in his lcokout's chair and had taken the adulation of the crowI with the thoughts of Carey ever in his mind.
 He had gone over to play other gsmes in the camp-games that he knew were crooked and as he invari-

ably won he smiled and thought of Carey. The nearest he ever prayed was when the thoughts of Carey would bring to his lips the words-"God, hope he ain't dead-yet."
 He reached St. Louis at night just one year after he had left. Agaln it was raining and again the streets were seas of muck. He checked his grips at the station, walked to Market street and slowly walked along what has always been the bowery of St. Louis.
 Before one of the many barrel houses" (cheap grogeries, where one can buy a three finger glass of what passes for whiskey for five cents) a sodden, dirty, whining supplicant sid led beside him and begged nickel. Just nickel, sir. just nickel to get drink-Tm dyin' fer a drink"
 Henderson looked at the man as one would look at something well known, but long forgotten.
 The bent and draggled thing oughed-coughed until it seemed as if the frail body would be racked to pieces.

There were four tables in the room all occupied. but Henderson led the way over to one of them and as the four human derelicts who were seated there looked up from their beer he remarked curtly.

 And just think-a year ago used to man-handle these poor devils-now I'm one of them. Why, mister. just year ago was copper on this beat yes, and many the drink I've given poor devils like 1 am now. But l got drunk on duty-was "broke"-kept on drinking and-here 1 am. My lungs full of bugs and slated to die under some box in an alley. I guess. A hell of an end fer Officer Carey"
 Henderson had been busy with his recollections and was giving slight at tentlo nto the mans words until he had mentioned his name.
 "Carey?" he queried, Were you Of ficer Carey?"
 Sure. I was," replied the man, "and if do say it, as shouldn't, as good as they had on the force"
 Henderson stared and stared again The man had spoken truly. Under the lines of sickness, dissipation and disease, under the dirt and stubbly beard-Henderson now could see the face of Carey, the policeman.
 Wait here," he commanded as he rose. He went to the telephone and called an ambulance. He did not re- turn to the figure of the ex-officer again until the ambulance was at the door. Then going over to the man he said-"Come, Carey, you're going to the hospital"
 Hospital-which one-what for?" he stammered. Henderson leaned down and put his arm around the sinking wretch.
