self seriously, and does not shrink
from battle once he takes position.
Mr.. Sweet was born in Phoenix forty
seven years ago, and while his hair is
silvery he is youthful in spirit and
action. His first fight for the Assem-
bly, in 1909 was bitter contest with
Frank L. Smith, townsman, and the
natives still talk about Sweets vic
tory. Mr.. Sweet took advantage OF a
fight between the Hughes men and the
Barnes men in 1914, and beat Hnman
for Speaker. With each successive
election az Speaker he seems to have
grown in power in the Assembly. until
at this time his word comes pretty near
being law.
After finishing the course in the
Ph@nix High School, Mr.. Sweet went to
work as n clerk in clothing store in
his native village. Two or three years
later he became travelling salesman.
and IN 1895 he and his brother started a
paper mill. Tho venture was success
full, Tho Speaker. In addition to his
paper business, is director in various
home corporations and is prominent in
the Masonic fraternity. He is married
and has four chldren-two sons. Rich
ard and Berton, and his daughters are
Vera and Ruth.

Easter 7hS'ongs
Jam Atlantic City
Trains Unable to Handle
Cromds; Hotels Filled,
Yet Torrent Continues

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April 10
The greatest crowd Atlantic City has
ever seen has been streaming in here
ever since Tuesday. Under the spell
of the blue skies and warm sunshine
to- day, tho stream became a torrent.
Railway figures show that all previous
travel records to this resort have been
outstripped by at least 80 per cent
Thousands upon thousands of others
have come by automobile
To-day, under the enormous pressure
of would be passengers, the railways
abandoned any fixed schedule. All day
long, trains have been pulling in here on
the narrowest possible headway. Special
trains intended to take care of the
Easter crowds have been divided and
redivided into more and more sections,
and still have been unable to take care
Of the crowd.
The hotels are swamped and the
proprietors have been driven to the
verge of insanity in their endcavor to
care for old and influential patrons
who have arrived without previous
notice. In some hotels portions Of
the lobby have been walled off with
Grapere5 INTO temporary sleeping
chambers. From attic to cellar the
hotels are iammed, and still the people
come.
Modistes Of New York and other
cities have sent representatives to the
Easter fashion show on the Boardwalk
which is expected to outdo all previous
exhibitions More than dozen air
planes viii go through manuuvres over
the city tomorrow afternoon.

What Turned the Market.

Among traders before the opening yes
terday there arose the theory that the
pools interested In speclalties would take
profits now that the new year had be-
gun and those profits would not be sub
ject to taxes for 1918. That theory In
the morning persuaded several profess
SIGNALS on the floor to go short OF MeNi-
can Petroleum. and. when interests close
tc the company resumed buying. those
who had speculated for the Gscline were
forced to bid high for the stock, which
came within Ave points Of its record
level. It was not solely, however. the
ecuon of the short interest that pro-
duced the advance OF more than thir-
tesn points from the low Of the day. be-
cause the movement in that issue at
tracted fresh buying Of such volume that
the total transactions for the day ex-
oeeded the dealings in Steel common by
about 10000 shares. With the rise in
Mexican Petroleum, speculative inter-
est came into other oil shares and the
readiness with which they moved up
ward became a factor of sympathetic in
fuence in other issues.

Think Rcceivcrship Good.

Wall Street was inclined to look upon
the receivership as good thing. not
only for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit.
but for the other public utilities OF New
York. That the stockholders might have
to contribute something toward a re-
organization assessment was believed.
but it was pointed out that earning
power and value were still behind the
stock and that the way In which the
matter was directed by the courts might
tend TO put the burden more equally on
the city. the bondholders and the stock
holders. The suggestion of separate re-
ceivers for, the subsidiary companies Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which
would preclude to a great degree the
Issuance OF transfers, was thought to be
special benefit toward Strengthening
out the parent Company's financial d.t-
fCulteS. That aspect OF tho situation
taken with the address Of Gov Smith
and criticism launched by Public Ser
vice Commissioner Travis H. Whitncy
confirmed the confidence Of conservative
men in the financial world that legsla-
ton To he proposed at Albany would be
OF constructive nature that would bring
adequate relief to the utility concerns
OF the entire State

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Confidence Undisturbed.

Though the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company receivership served to check
the buying movement expected to take
place yesterday, the action OF the mar
ket left in the speculative community a
feeling Of confidence. Opinion differed
as to the stock market meaning of a re-
ownership and long reorganization pro-
ceedlngs, but 1t was agreed generally
that the local traction situation. having
been discounted to a great extent, could
not influence the general list for long.
Watchers at the ticker pointed to the
afternoons rise as an evidence OF the
readiness of the list to turn upward
despite the r. r. T. affair and the re-
newed reports of declines in the price
of copper metal.

the past fortnight had not discounted

well discounted. The banking world and
those conversant with affairs of the
local traction companies were surprised,
not that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
had gone into receivership, because they
were aware OF the high costs under
which the roads We're being run. without
any inceneed compensation. but that II
had come so soon. In fact, many had
thought that one of the Manhattan
