washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-An eight.
hundredword message of protest
against what was characterized as the
"insulting and high handed manner"
of j. NJ. Nye, the State Departments
secret service agent with the royal
Belgian party, was filed with the State
Department. to-day by Representative
Randall, of California, on behalf of
Mayor M. P. Snyder of Los Angeles
and the Board of Trade of Pasadena,
Calf.
The Western officials declare that
Nye, who formerly was connected with
the treasury secret service, arbitrar-
lily held the King and Queen of Bel
GUM and party at the Ince moving
picture studio for more than an hour,
and thus prevented the carrying out
OF the program Of welcome planned
for the royal visitors at Pasadena.
"Nye acted in an insolent and high
handed manner, assuming full author
ity in a dictatorial attitude, and
whenever myself or any Of the COM
mittee tried to offer suggestions he
was Immediately insulted by Nye,"
Mayor Snyder said in his message
Mayor Snyder charged that Nye's
arbitrary action caused the huge crowd
of people at Pasadena to be disap-
pointed in not seeing the King and
Queen.
The program at Pasadena, Mayor
Snyder said, included luncheon at
the Hotel Maryland where number
ernor Stephens of California, were
awaiting the royal party.
The government secret service agent
also is charged with refusing to per-
NIT the presentation of some gifts to
the Queen by Miss Anita Baldwin,
daughter of LUCKY" Baldwin.
"The program of the royal party"
Mayor Snyder's message said, Nm
cluded stop at the ranch of Lucky
Baldwin, to which the guests were to
be taken by automobile. Miss Baldwin,
who was member Of the ladies' COM
mittee to greet the Queen, was to ride
ranch, some gifts were to be rendered
her royal highness. The stop ut the
motion picture studio prevented this
visit, and efforts to induce Nye to stop
the train at Santa Anita station, near
the Baldwin ranch, to take on the
presents, were unavailing."
Representative Randall and J. W
Pearman, secretary Of the Pasadena
Board Of Trade. have requested the
Secretary of State to give them an
opportunity Of meeting Nye in the
secretary's Office next week to hear
any defense the secret service agent
may have to offer.

ment made with Los Angeles by the
State Department" said Mr.. Nye, wher
asked about the occurrence here last
night. "If the people of Pasadena
were disappointed at not seeing the
King and his party, it was the fault Of
the Mayor Of Los Angeles, who was
playing petty politics by trying to keeI
us in his city longer than we hae
agreed to stay"

Baldwin Locomotive,

One Baldwin stakeholder who attend
ed the meeting at Philadelphia last
week came away very much impressed
with the showing which the company
had been making. As result of his
investiga lions the house which he rep
resents Is known to have purchased a
large block OF BALDWIN. In discussing
the Baldwin situation this man pointed
out that there had been a more or less
mistaken impression abroad as TO the
Baldwin management. He said tina t
stockholders came away from the meet
ing believing that the mana cement IL
the ablest lot of locomotive builders in
the world, and If there has been pro-
test over past financial policy It is prob
ably because this has been left too much
to the decision OF Junior officers while
the senior ones were busy building en-
slnes." on the question OF dividends
he said The question OF common stock
dividends will be considered not later
than May. This time is set partly be-
cause of the Federal tax piecemeal and
partly because the Baldwin inventory Of
100000 is being consumed at the
rate OF over 100000 a month in the
completion OF orders on hand which will
carry the works at capacity up until
about October"

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
street SIN Optimi.tIc.

While II is admitted in many impor-
tant Wall Street quarters that the tech
nical position of the stock market has
been materially weakened by vounlln-
Gus short covering It Is declared that
the weakening Is but temporary and
that no great harm has been done the
market In fact tho very men who
point out the weakened position also
hold to the optimistic feeling which has
characterized all OF their utterances in
the last two weeks. That there has
been tremendous amount of short COW
ering seems to be the consensus of opin-
ion, and added to this. yesterday It was
said there also was a substantial amount
OF profit taking 30 that when the shorts
began TO cover there was plenty of stock
to be found In the hands OF those who
have made big profits and are ready to
take them. on the other hand, It IA
pointed out that as a natural result of
the recent rise all over the list there
are many who have large profits which
they refuse to take. believing that they
can get an even better return for their
money than they can at present 1t is
on these latter influences that the Street
generally is depending to keep up the
present forward movement.

A New Westinghouse Deal.

Wall Street heard yesterday from I'M
official sources that the WESTINGHOUSE
Electric and Manufacturing Company
had sold 10 British interests its holdIv~ ~
In Electric Holdings. Ltd, a - npaf7S Or
ganiLed in London in May. 1917, for TAX
ing over the British Westinghouse Manu-
featuring Company. The price mem
toned in the transaction is $1,000, 900
In return for stock control of the British
company the American company received
something like half of the ordinary stock
OF Electric Holdings Ltd. and $4,000, 900
OF that company's ten year per cent
prior lien bonds. Guy T.. Trip, chair
man of the Westinghouse board is in
London. where he has been negotiating
tho sale referred TO, and is not expected
back before the middle OF April. It was
said at the offices here that he had not
communicated the fact that the transact
tioE had been completed, and that there
was no one in a position 10 affirm or
deny It. 1t Is presumed that this latest
deal will not affect the agreement en-
tered into at the time OF the original
transaction whereby the American COM
pany was restricted TO doing business in
the Americas and the Far East and the
British company to Europe, Africa and
Australia.
