FINANCIAL NEWS
And COMMENT
Stocks Irregular. hut Not Sub
jcct to Excited Selling
Pressure.
SOME WEAK FEATURES

There was no public rush 70 sell
day. although the professional specula-
ton for the decline Wednesday after
noon had anticipated something In the
nature OF a general stampede OF liquida-
ton when the developments at WASH
inston had been considered over night.
The country's stock market response
yesterday was a gratifying evidence Of
the stability of financial moods every
where. matching the Indications that
business conditions and banking and
market positions are Fundamentally
strong enough to cope with any con-
ceivable contingency or event Of the in
ternational difficulties now pending.
Indeed. the elements Of weakness
which appeared in various directions OF
the share list yesterday were not in
any obvious way a direct reflection OF
the disturbing uncertainties which politi-
cal problems have forced on financial
attention. They were quite apparently
the direct consequence OF the reaction
AIRY processes OF the last few months in
impiiring speculative accounts for the
rise left over from last summers en-
t~ravaganccs. The fact that the collat-
cral loan values OF numerous unseasoned
Industrial specialtics were reported YES
terday to have been marked down
further was a sufficient explanation OF
some of the features Of the Stock Ex-
change session.
There was scattered liauidating pres
sure In all departments. but much OF
the selling was still manifestly a con-
tinuation OF professional speculation
for the decline. Standard descriptions.
including industrials as we'll as rails,
offered resistance not only TO pressure
but to the unsettlIng influences of the
particular weaknesses which were dis
played. Operations for tho short ac-
oun were discriminatory conducted
and there was a good deal OF short
covering throughout the list which en-
abled the market, especially in the
carly dealings TO absorb liquidating
sales at some advance in prices.
Th" market was less active than on
Wednesday. aud the general price move
merit WAS irregular. There WAS more
ar less unSteadiucss in the afternoon as
D result Of the declines in Studcbaker.
Industrial Alcohol and other specialties.
aud the tone was nervous all around.
but per~isten, underlying firmness was
exhibited IN al the important quarters.
TIL" recess to-day naturally had a ten
ienCy TO restrict purchases. and under
the circumstances tn" market might
cav" been weaker without provoking
sunrise. Accordingly observers gained
the impression that Wall Street saw
no convincing reason for disCounting in

THIEVES
FORCED OUT
OF BUSINESS
Anti-Horse Thief Associations
Now Run Down Crooks
Who Steal Automobiles.

Along back in 1842. when hOrsn
thieves wero OF considerable annoy
aHce 10 MlBBourlanB, a few earnest
souls organized the Antl-Horse Thief
Association. When q horse thief was
busy the members Of the society
would ride out after him and bring
him to Justice. and sudden justice. II
was, too. sometimes. says the Kansas
City Star.
TimeB changed. rs times always
do. and a new brand OF thieves came
on. The advance Of civilization
forced the horBe thief out Of business.
Telephones made 1t difficult for him.
So. the motor car thief came into
being. There are 40 many cars and
1t is 30 easy to steal them that 1t is
natural that motor thievcry should
attain great proportions.
The association adapted itself to
the new order, and It's principal work
now Is against tho new-Htyled crimi-
nails. The old name is retained. The
Organization extending to twenty-five
states, has total membership Of
$4,000. $4,000 Of whom are In Kan
HhS f1AA 4VIVVV VI HHolu dlE III MID
souri,.
In each local organization there is
pursuing committee" The COM
mittee members get out and chase
the thieves. Each member has the
assurance that the theft of any Of
his property will receive immediate
attention. F'orgers are pursued the
same as motor thieves. One car from
Jasper county. Mo-, was traced into
Old Mexico and recovered. 1t cost
the association $500, but the car was
returned. Every car belonging to a
member carries badge of the asso-
citation as a warning to thieves.
The members work with the po-
lice and county officers. A car stolen
and the thief Is reported going south
west The members in the 0roginaI
county telephone south and west.
Each county that receives the mes
sage telephones south and west, and
soon the officers are on the lookout In
every county within two lines, one
extending straight west and one exc
tending straight south. The thief
finds himself in mesh of watchful
eyes. The system works.
Another move Is to work for state
Legislation requiring registration in
all states for county cars. A COM
nlttee, of which Charles w. Fear, II
Joplin, Mo. Is chairman, will meet in
May at Miami, Okla, to discuss
means Of furthering such legislation.

Stored Away by Indiana Man
in 1896 Has lust Been
Located.

COLUMBUS, Ind. Mar. lin 1896,
when William Jennings Bryan was
advocating tho free coinage OF silver
AT the ratio OF sixteen to one. John
w. Hubbard. OF Taylorsvtllc, Barthol-
omew county, heard about It. Some
one told him that II free silver legis-
lation was enacted one gold dollar
would buy sixteen silver dollars.
Ele decided the best thing he could
do was to get as much gold as pos
sible and hold 1t until he could invest
in silver dollars. He placed $500 in
gold in a safety deposit hoX in an
Edinburg bank and never touched It.
He died later and the Peoples Saw
Ings Trust Company OF this city. was
appointed administrator of the os-
tate. It was supposed his personal
property amounted to less than $500.
