MARKET AFFECTED
 BY R. R. SITUATION
Heavy At Opening, Selling Be-
 comes More General

Wall Street-Heavines ruled at the opening of today's market, the acute railway situation contributing largely to that coalition. Reading and Union Pacific lost a point or more, with equal or greater declines in Studebaker, Crucible, Marine com mon and American Can, while Ten essee Copper yielded onver two points. Other metals were more steady. "SOo" preferred exceptionally rose over four points, and Pacific Mail gained al- most two.
 Selling became more precipitate later, Marine preferred proving the only noteworthy exception on its ad vance of 1 38 points. Declines were accelerated by the vague character of the news from Washington which found further reflection in the heavi- ness of rails and other high grade is- sues. Pressure relaxed somewhat be- fore midday with moderate rallies. Bonds were lower.
 Trading slackened perceptibly in the afternoon, with a further gain in Marine preferred and strength in motor accessories.
 ClOse.-Obscure mining shares were Hquidated in the later dealings with recurrent declines in leading issues. The closing was heavy.

TOOK GOVERNOR FOR BUTLER
Smiled BIandIy and Got Archie
Roosevelt a Napkin.

Here's a good one that ex-Gover-
nor Walsh of Massachusetts told on
himself at a dinner given to some of
his friends in Washington recently,
the Boston Post states.
Some months ago, while he was
governor, Mr.. Walsh was a guest at a
reception given by Mrs. Mabel Hunt
Slater in Boston.
The governor arrived and was not
introduced to all of the guests be-
cause of their large number. Some
time in the early hours of the morn
ing Archie Roosevelt approached him
and said:
"John, will you please get me a
napkinY '
Certainly" Governor Walsh said,
keeping a grave face, Gin a minute.
sir"
The governor promptly found the
napkin for young Roosevelt and
smilingly handed it to him. Some
thing in the governors smile made
Roosevelt suspicious. A well-trained
butler does not smile.
"Aren't you the butler" he asked
doubtfully.
"No, my name is Walsh; I am
governor of Massachusetts," was the
reply.
Roosevelt apologized profusely.
"Oh, that's all right" Walsh said.
81 can understand your mistake. 1
frequently have noticed that the
butler is the best-looking man in the
room at a Back Bay party"

A zone system of rates for sec.

nently urged to take the place OF
the present fiat rate which was
adopted nearly forty years ago.
The present rate has for some
time been regarded as a discrim-
lnation against the newspapers in
favor OF the great national maya
zines. Like the parcel post the
proposed zone rates would be bas-
ed on the length of the haul.

their names may be entered on
