BOOSTERS DISTURBED CREW
EIshty-hve Game Cocks From Spain
Made Voyage a Nightmare.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20-The Spanish
liner Antonio Lopez, which sailed yes
terday for Havana and Vera Cruz, had
q lively lot of freight On her boat
deck In the shape OF eighty-five roost-
ers from Granada, Spain. which were
being shipped out of Mexico. Some
roosters only crow at early dawn, but
those on the Antonio Lopez thrust
their heads out from the crates and
made the welkin ring every time any
one passed along the boat deck.
The tired Spanish passengers and
crew who had come out from Cadiz
said that the fighting roosters had
banished sleep from the ship, and the
noise was SO great that they could
not hear the steam whistle when 1t
was blown as a signal for boat drill
Many of tis roosters had won fights
in Seville, Granada, Burgos, and Zara-
gossa

SEEKING TOBACCO'S
EFFECT ON GERMS
Whether Bacteria Survive So
journ With Nicotine Puzzles
Quaker Legislators.

as tobacco Injurious to a GERM"
The question does not relate to the
species that occupies the back plat
form of a street car and blows smoke
from a cheap cigarette into the faces
of women passengers as they board or
alight. Science is too much engrossed
in investigations of worth to waste
time on such inquiries.
What the health departments OF the
country want to know is whether an
able-bodied germ-the kind that re-
poses all night in a persons system
and gets up the next morning with
the determination to migrate to some
one else before nightfall-suffers i'll
effect from the weed.
There has just been introduced in
the Pennsylvania Legislature a bill
to abolish the public cigar cutter as
an insanitary institution. The trou-
BILE, according to proponents of the
measure, is that a man tries to bite
his cigar and then changes his mind
in favor of the cutter. Result, de-
posits Of saliva, accompanied by bac-
terra.
The ban could be put on the public
cutter here, in the opinion of health
officials, by an amendment to the
health regulations, but the authori-
ties are doubtful as to whether such
a step is necessary. In the first place,
they point out, comparatively few
smokers try to chew the end from
their cigars before resorting to the
cutter. In the second place, there are
no statistics to show the class of
germs whose career is ended by con-
tact with tobacco. Some of the weaker
germs succumb Immediately.
Whisky, psychologists declare, is
fatal to all germs, but whether to-
bacco has the same effect is open to
debate.
The health authorities advise cigar
users to get a private clipper.

LANST0N M0N0TYPE FIG.
URES IN BIG SALE.
Block of 1875 Shares at IL Sold,
Marking First Big Transac-
ton of This Security for
Weeks - Washington Gas
Fails TO Be in Demand To-
day-Bonds Are FractionaIIy
Higher.

A block of 126 shares of Lanston
Monotype stock at 72, the first large
transaction of this stock for weeks,
featured stock trading on the local
exchange today. The stock is now ex-
dividend, and the price of ~ COM
pares with 1914 with the dividend on.
The last previous sale OF the stock,
with the dividend on, was 73. The
stock closed with 71H bid and with
the offering 72h.
AS on yesterday, there was absence
of the strong demand for Washington
Gas stock that marked the closing
days of last week. A total of 40
shares sold today at II, but there was
no indication of any pressure to sell.
None of the stock was offered in quo
tation lots, at the close, below 7e,
while the price, II, was still strongly
bid. In view of the sharp rise of the
stock last week holders apparently are
loath to part with 1t, hoping for fur
ther gains.
Odd lots of Railway preferred, ag-
gregating 80 shares, sold on q scale
upward from 50 to S2h.
Demand for bonds was good, and
with the exception of Capital Trac-
ton Company 5's-. prices were frac-
tionally higher. Traction Us sold at
a new low for recent months, at 105H.
In all S6,500 worth of the bonds were
traded in, the initial sale being q
81 900 bond at 106, the same price at
which the bonds sold yesterday. This
was followed by $4,000 more at 105h,
and three $500 bonds at the same
figure
Railway As were stronger, q 81, 900
bond selling at so7t. and a $500 bond
selling after call at 50, a new high
for recent months.
Potomac Electric Company consoli-
dated mortgage 5's also were stronger
with sales of $4,000 at 10o%. This IL
a gain Of a quarter of a point over the
last previous sale. The price, 100k.
was bid at the close. indicating that
more of the bonds could have been
disposed of at this figure had sellers
appeared.
A small Norfolk and Washington
Company 8 per cent bond
brought 105h.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Trading ex-
panded volumes with the progress of
the session, and prices gained in
strength. The upward movement was
not very broad, however, being con-
fined chiefly to coppers, steels, and
sugar issues. National Lead and Texas
Company were other strong features,
and moved forward from three to four
points.
Utah was the leader of the copper
group, scoring an advance of over 2
points. American Sugar held firm
at an advance of over a point, and
Cuba Cane sold up fractionally. Aside
from the descriptions mentioned and
possibly a few others, stocks were
idle and practically unchanged. The
upturn was not connected with any
news developments and found its ori-
gin chiefly in professional activities.
