Because of the Encouraging Tenor of
 Overnight Advices.

New York May 3--C'onstant liquid ation of high grade securities accom- panied the weak one of today's stock

 As was to be expected from the dis coura ging tenor of overnight adviCes, the selling movement was materially aided by an aggressive short interest. which concentrated it's attacks, as
 heretofore. upon such potential lead CTS as the U. s. Steel and the many volatile issues comprising the sever al war groups.

Final prices were variably above the lowest, despite the fresh selling caused by an advance in call money rates to 4 1-2 per cent. the highest to date Of the year.

HUBER A VICTIM
 OF HIS FRIENDS.
Philadelphia Boxer Apparently Sacri-
 feed by Hero Worshippers.

Joe Tuber. Philadelphia's candidate for the American fiyweight title, was knocked out on Saturday at the Ma ttonal Athletic club, Philadelphia This announcement under ordinary circum- stances would have little significance, but Tuber was sent into dreamland by a substitute boxer, and thereby hangs the tale He was originally to have boxed an opponent who labored under the ring cognomen of One Punch Ho- gan. The latter was reported i'll. Johnny Rosner of New York was sub stituted. He had several pounds ad- vantage over Tuber-no one excepting those on the irtsfde know how many Huber is little fellow and rarely scales more than 112 pounds. He can nit as hard as some lightweights and has stouter heart than many mid dleweights. For that reason she should have been carefully groomed for the goal which was rapidly coming his way.

 Greed for Money the Lure.

It is the old story. The greed for money and having a retinue of over Jealous friends. To use plain English. 1 Tuber was sacrificed just to strengthen someone's bank roll and to appease the heartless demands of a bunch of hero worshippers Today he realizes that he has been a misguided youth. He
 was told that no matter who his Oppo- nent was, all he had to do was to wade Tn, swap punches and the other fellow would be sure to hit the canvas These wise coaches and trainers forgot that with equal punching ability the fellow who has several more pounds behind his punch and who knows how to use that advantage someone is going to take the count. The boxer does not breathe who, when he gets it on the right spot, will not go down under fire.
 They All Had to succunb.
 John L. Sullivan moved them all down until he met Corbett, and then his great punching powers had to yield to the youngSter who landed first Corbett in turn, was dropped by F'itz- simmons the latter by Jeffries the ap- parently invincible boilermaker by Johnson, and the negro heavyweight was forced to bite the dust by Will lard.
 No one ever dreamed that there was a boxer his weight and inches who could stand up under the rapid fire of Terry MCGovern, much less punch him into dreamland. Young Corbett came ped the Terrible Terry for the fun count in the second round. Some of overzealous friends said Terry ran into a punch which was la - beled accidental" Corbett bided his time and finally, wincing under the
