WILL DECIDE ON

Executive Council, Bankers
/ Association, Meets at
{ New York That Date.
BY 1. A. FLEMING.

The matter of the American Bank
ers' Association convention coming
to Washington in 1920 will probably
be settled on the 18th instant. when
the executive council of the asso-
iation meets in New York city to
take action.
Washington has made good so far
as hotels. menus and facilities gen.
orally are concerned. and has demon
strated the fact that the bankers and
their guests can and will be cared
for in the style to which they are
accustomed on these annual Pilgrim
ages.
AS a result the chances are that
Washington will at the time specif1ed
he designated as to location for the
convention and that the wires VIII
Immediately be burdened with orders

Waiting Decisions.

Waiting Decisions.
With very few exceptions the New
York stock market acted tired and
weary. 1t needed the immediate as
sistance of Supreme Court decision
but the tonic did not appear to be
Forthcoming, among the earlier rul-
ings handed down.
The Southern Pacific case, settled
the way the street wishes 1t to be- TOY
the railroad. would have been elixir
sufficient for good rally. while tne
stock dividend case decided in the
streets favor-that is. dividends paid
in stock are not taxable-would have
been occasion for joyous festival
Weakness in foreign exchange, de-
lay in the adoption of the peace treaty,
industrial conditions and a sim
money market all worked against re-
covery from last weeks depression.
Ben Woodruff Dead.
Ben Woodruff, former president OF
the local stock exchange and widely
known in financial circles. died at his
home in this city yesterday.
So. Pacific Case Against Company.
Shortly after IL o'clock the Supreme
Court handed down the Southern Pa
cific oil case opinion. reversing the
circuit court of appeals. which in turn
had reversed the ruling of the federal
district court, to the effect that while
there had been no actual discovery
of oil on the lands involved, surround
ing conditions clearly indicated that
1t was valuable for oil.
This, therefore. vitiates Southern
Pacific's claims to the oil lands in
question. 10000 acres.
The result was a drop in the price
of Southern Pacific stock from 1881
to 101, and the break took other rails
in lesser degree on the down scale.
Later Southern Pacific recovered to
1885. and Union Pacific came back
to its high.
The decision was a distinct disap-
pointment to the street.
