development at washington and the
general undertone was inclined TO
weakness, although the amount ~
profit taking was surprisingly small
considering the character Of the news
with which the market had TO con-
| tend.
' Liquidation was noticeable In rail-
road issues and the financial district is
still In tho dark as to what measures
will be adopted to take care OF The
pressing financial requirements Of the
various companies. The possibility is
looming UP that railroads will he
turned back to their owners within
tho next month or 80. unless satisfaC-
tory railroad financing measures are
found, and such a development would
NOT br 10 the liking Of Wall Street.
The burden Of financing the compl-
nics would then be thrown entirely
on private bankers, with each road
left TO take care Of itself. II Is pretty
certain that the cost OF new money
70 various companies would nc un-
usually high. Meantime. orders for
new equipment and materials 10 he
used IN bcttcrne'nt and Improvement
work would be indefinitely held up.
Leading railroad shares lost a
point or more from last nights final
prices and equipment shares sold off
In sympathy
Pressure was more noticeable In
the copper group. apparently in an
ticipltion OF dividend reductions by
Utah, Chino and Ncva da at tho meet

long been understood that these div
idcnds would necessarily he cut, and
this selling Is somewhat bclated. In
spite OF their action to-day coppers
appear to be In a pretty we'll sold

excellent response To- any change for
the better In the metal situation.
In sp!tc OF tho character OF the
news. pools again were aggressive
carly In the session in n few speciali-
ties. and succeeded in marking up
Kelly Springfield Tire and American
Hide and Leather preferred TO new
high records for all time. There was
also display Of pool aggressivcness
In General Motors. Wilson a. Co. and
cigar stores. However, these early
gains were lost later in the session.
In the last hour there was con-
tlnucd hcnvinrss in steel railroad and
equipment shares and there was a
very evident disposition to await
new developments in the railroad
situation before making new com
mittments.

The failure OF Congress to pass
much needed railroad financial legis-
lation Is the biggest shock tho mar
and it's action following the an
nounccmcnt that the Deficiency BIZ
was not enacted Is the best kind o.
evidence that prices are resting on
a very firm foundation.
1t Is everywhere conceded In the
financial district. however, that unless
means can quickly be devised to
remedy the plight railroads are now
In there is almost certain TO be
much more two-sidcd market than
has been witnessed during the past
month. 1t will require remarkable
courage on the part Of pools to mark
up prices OF Industrial shares until
the railroad situation has been cor
rected.
As matters now stand railroads are
without funds to carry on much
needed improvement work and. as a
matter Of fact. their treasures are so
'hi' VI iunuS NldN WI many NhStS,
difficulty will be experienced in meet
ing current accounts.
The Government owes 10 the vari-
GUS companies approximately $3.50
100000, representing the balance OF
their 1918 compensation remaining un-
paid. As against this debt the Rail
road Administration has less than
S5o.o00,000 OF funds available.
What makes the situation more
acute Is the fact that railroads ire
now having delivered TO them con-
siderable equipment and other ma
/ terial ordered in anticipation Of the
/ passage OF the Deficiency bill II
/ cannot now be seen how this equip
ment and material can be paid for
! until means are found to provide the
roads with funds.
Capital requirements of the various
companies this year have been esti-
mated by the Railroad Administra-
tion at SsO0,O00,O 900. or this amount
S2S6 100000 was to be expended for
equipment. ana si9O, 100000 for ad-
dltlonnl improvements.
II can be soon from this that a
large part OF the prospective business
of equipment and steel companies
has been Topped off, and as a matter
OF fact there will hardly be any i'm

fcctcd.
There are two courses remaining
open either one OF which may now bS
pursued. First, private bankers may
be called upon to help finance the
railroads until needed legislation II
passed by an extra session OF Con
gress with this end in view an i'm
portant meeting of bankers and Gov
ernment officials Is likely TO be called
In Washington within a few days
But in this connection 1t should b'
pointed out that TO finance the com
panies in this way would mean tyinI
up large sums that would otherwis
go into the coming Victory Loan.
The second course would be q

FIRST WIFE HAS
 SYMPATHY FOR
 LANES TROUBLE
Denies There Ever Was Mystery or That She
 Alleged Cruelty.

New York, Sept. 3O-Sympathy for former Vice-Chancellor Merritt Lane in his matrimonial entanglements was expressed yesterday by his first wife. Mrs. Clara F. Wittenbert Lane, now living at 2595 Boulevard, Jersey City. She was divorced from her husband in January of this year. In her state ment she denied certain highly col ored versions of happenings in her married life.
 My attention" the statement says, has been called to an article inu- mating that there is some mystery with respect to my whereabouts. have been and am living at the Fair mount Hotel and am absent only oc- casionally on visits. I shall decline to receive reporters and any inter view or statement attributed to me other than the following may be con- sidered false:
 q was not only IT. when I was married and there is no mystery about our marriage. We had been school friends for years and we were married in June, 1902, not May, 1905, as the records will show.
 q never at any time made any charge of cruelty nor did I ever file eiAly SLlL bdstu OIl any lGlLeTS TeCelNeO from any other woman. No woman identified or otherwise, ever came and demanded any letter. I made no charge that MT. Lane visited the room of any woman in Jerome, ArLz, nor was he ever accused of being. on any party in Arizona.
 The statement that MT. Lane ac- cused me of not caring for a child in absolutely untrue, as there was no child born of our marriage My di- vorCe was granted, as previously pub lished in January, 1919, and not July, 1919.
 Both MT. Lane and his wife have my sincere sympathy at this moment of stress"
 When seen in Newark yesterday, and asked if he had any statement to make upon the present aspect of his matrimonial tangIe, MT. Lane merely shook his head and passed on.

EXPECT MANY
 EASTERN CITIES TO CHANGE TIME

New York. Sept 30 - Marcus M Marks, president of the National Day light Saving Association, wrote a let ter yesterday to President Robert L. Moran, of the Board of Aldermen and the author of the daylight saving ordinance now before the board in which he answered some of the ob- jections to the proposed measure. The principal objection has come from United States Senator Calder, who was the author of the Federal Day. light Law which was repealed over the Presidents veto.
 While New York city is certainly | big enough to establish it's own time just as Cleveland, Detroit and other cities have done independently in the past" said MT. N;lrks, "the proposed | ordinance before the Board of Alder | men will not leave New York city I alone in its time regulation. Other | cities and towns throughout the coun- 1 try, and particularly in the Eastern time zone will follow suit fmmedi- ately. Long before next summer when | the proposed regulation will take ef- l feet, so many communities will have endorsed the Board of Aldermen here that Congress will have to take notice
 There were more than 100 Con- | gressmen absent when the vote was | taken that overrode the Presidents veto. Now, by local action every
 where, this popular action will is sure . to show itsself strong enough to force Congress to recognize it."
 President Moran said last night ht
 is convinced there will be no con. fusion as a result Of the adoption O.
 the daylight saving ordinance.

''Play Ball!" The umpire's cry in Zealand Field tomorrow afternoon will actually start the ball rolling in the greatest Worlds Series the coun- try has ever known. The present se- ries. from a standpoint of interest as well as from financial one, will eclipse all others by many nautical miles.
 Bridgeport fans will watch the se- ries games on the Playograph at the State Armory on Main street. through the courtesy of the Bridgeport Home Guards.
 Every play made at Redland Field and in later games at -Comiskey Park, Chicago, will be wired to the Armory direct from the field of battle. As soon as it is licked off the wire, 1t will be passed along to experienced oper- ators who will work it out on the Playograph.
