STOCK TRADING WAS THE LARGEST
 IN SEVERAL WEEKS
Decline of Slightly More Than Two Cents In Sterling Ex- change Attributed to
 Sentimental Causes
By Associated Press

New York, September 6.--Resumr- tion of business on the stock ex- change today after the prolonged re- cess was accompanied by further in- voluntary retirement of thef short account and intermittent signs of public interest.
 Trading was on the largest and most comprehensive scale of any day in several weeks. Speculative issues were the principal beneficiaries, however, notably industrials an1 specialties which were most depre- ciated in the spring and mid-sum- mer reaction.
 Later happenings in the Mexican situation, especially the announce ment of an agreement between American oil interests and the Mex ican government placed those shares in the front rank of the days opera tions.
 Mexican Petroleums initial gain of points was speedily extended to 6lS. Kindred issues rose l to nearly points, with moderate gains n other foriegn oils and junior domeS- ties.
 Prominent steels, equipments, cop pers, shippings, sugars, tobaccos and chemicals, likewise motors and their accessories gained 1 to 4 points at their best. The entire list was sIb- iected to sharp downward revision before the close, however, Mexican forfeiting half its rise, while many sAher stocks cancelled almost all their advance.

 Any tendency toward easier money conditions was nullified by last Sat urdays clearing house statement. which reported an actual deficit of cash reserves All call loans were negotiated at 51A per cent and time offerings were scare.
 A decline of slightly more than two cents in sterling exchange was attributed to sentimental causes. notably the Irish situation. French and other continental bills reaction ary, especially Holland and the Scandinavia countries.
 Bonds derived much of their up ward impetus from the better tone of the stock market, Mexican and Belgian issues were distinctly strong with other foreign offerings. Coh- vertible rails added to recent gains, but liberties were irregular. Iotai sales par value $10.25o,o00.

Destroyer's Lights
Partly Blamed i'm
Panama Collision
Point Is Made at Hearing
That Merchantmen Gould
Have Avoided Crash Had
She Held to Her Course

"A naval court OF inquiry yesterday
ended it's investigation of the collision
bvtween The United States destroyer
Graham and the steamship Panama, of
0iaH Hanama Railroad Steamship Line.
1t vwsss Rgreed that the accident wxs
due to the fact that the lights on the
destroyer confused the navigator OF the
merchantmen.
Testimony ut the final hearing
showed thHt the damage the destroyer
suffered amounted to $4,000 End that
Che nrerchsntnHn has been injured to
the extent of $13b ;000.
For the defense Captain ]. K. Taus-
sig, in SUMMING up, admitted that the
Graham uas running with speed and
mast lights ON one mast, In violation Of
navy orders, wnd that these lights
caused the cnptnin of the Panama to
merchantmen and which rnuHed him to
believe the 'ships were approaching
each other head on.
Commander William r.. Amsden, of
the Graham, testified that the order
ferbidding the display OF speed lights
by destroyerB when steaming lbingly
had not reached him.
1t was pointed out that while the
captain of the Panama unquestionably
was confused by the lights, he could
have avoided the crash II he had taken
his exact bearings or if he had waited
until he could see both the port and
starboard running lamps of the ap-
preaching craft before changing his
course. These precautions were said
to be required under the rules of the
road and to have been observed by the
deck officer of the Graham.
The findings will be forwarded TO the
Secretary of the Navy.

Reorganizing the Democracy.

Chairman White Of the democratic
national committee is still on the job.
He has appointed an executive COM
mittee of sixteen, composed of mem
bers of the national committee. to
advise and counsel as to reorganizing
the partys machinery" This COM
lnittee will meet in this town on the
18th instant.
The party's machinery functioned
smoothly in last years campaign. 1t
did not function successfully. But
that was quite impossible. No ma
chinery, however perfect, could have
elected Gov. Cox. He was beaten
from the start. He did his best and
the party's managers did their best.
but against an irresistible tide which
on election day swept everything be-
fore it.
Still, the disaster afforded some
pointers as to campaigning, and pre-
sumably Mr.. White wants them tick
eted and filed away for future use.
Among the members of this execu-
tive committee is Homer S. Cum
mings. MIR. Whites predecessor in
the Office of committee chairman.
Some regret was expressed when Gov.
Cox failed to select Mr.. Cummings to
manage his campaign. But the Sc
lection of MIR. White for the place
did not embitter MIR. Cummings, who
took the stump for the ticket. and
rendered all the service possible.
Now Mr.. White makes this pleas
ant overture, and harmony seems to
be the watchword. Harmony is a
very useful thing in politics, and at
this time the democracy has need of
all it can command. Mr.. Bryan has
a recognizing scheme in hand. and
it can hardly be reckoned as in ca
boots with Mr.. Whites.

The Red Program in America.

1t is possible to accept with full
credit the letter Of instruction from
Moscow to the American communists
designed to promote a revolution in
this country, which was printed yes
terday in The Stars Paris correspond
ence. Everything in the text Of this
remarkable document conforms to the
known purposes Of the soviet govern
ment and its subsidiary organization
of propaganda. If this letter is for
gerry. as it may be, it is assuredly true
to the spirit that prevails at Moscow
Unfortunately the date of this let
ter Of instructions is not known def.
nitely, but it is believed to have been
written within the last three or four
months. This is point of impor-
lance. II the Third 1nternationale"
at Moscow now thinks that the United
States offers good field for propa-
ganda and possible revolution It is
well to understand this as a present
menace instead Of something that has
been tried and possibly abandoned.
Since Martens deportation angry
threats have come from bolsheyik

"Snitching on q Kid"

Judge Ben Lindsey may be tho
great and noble humanitarian his adj
mfrers claim him to be or he may be
the deep-dyed villain his enemies in
Colorado profess to believe him to be,
That is something as to which it Is
hopeless to look for a judgment SO
authoritative and final that it will be
universally accepted. OF course the
judgment of the Supreme Court Of
the United States will be accepted as
final with respect to the judges quar-

judged him in contempt. and he win

says he prefers either indignity to
the impossible alternative of "snitch-

will know what that means and will
form his own opinion of the man who
accepted the condolences Of young
ster in deep trouble and then kept
faith with him, even to the point Of
going to prison rather than ''snitch."

World and the socialist party and to
form a new secret. party.1 They are
to promote strikes. to increase discon-
tent. to establish soviets among the
soldiers and sailors, to break down

to insure that the Revolutionary sol.

This last suggestion Of the dis
charged soldiers and sailors walking
of with their arms Is. Of course. ludi-
crous. 1t is important. however, as
showing the manner in which the
Russian radical mind works. And, in
truth. it works just as falsely in the
matter Of estimating the American
readiness to accept sovietism.
1t is possible for the Third Inter

Of a revolution promoting, bolshevik

ed through this country to cause much

perhaps, possibly some bloodshed, and
it may be some augmentation of the

be no revolution. The American peo-

ity for self government through the
existing agencies and formulas to be
beguiled or stampeded into any re-

Men are throughout the world agreed,
Another war we do not need.
For every war that man has known
Has proved a failure. we must own,
That caused new angers to upstart,
And rankle in the human heart,
Now science works with methods firm
To catch and conquer every germ,
And with an X-ray sharp and strong
Look through each frame and see
what's wrong.
Oh, science, go ahead and find
An X-ray for the human mind,
Which will reveal each motive low
Which every sordid scheme will show,
That animates Ambitions plan
For harsh dominion over man.
II selfishness is thus disclosed,
No devious tricks can be proposed
That Science. cannot swiftly trace

Go to it, Science-do not shirk.

feet.
Probably very few Of the members
of the unions amalgamated under the
leadership Of this now convicted man
had the slightest knowledge Of what
was being done, or any intimation.
They were told to strike and they
obeyed. A specious case Of "griev-
ance" was presented to them as a
reason, and their representatives
higher up went through the motions
of negotiation and failure to secure
concessions and the strike order came.
When strike threats were made that
We're not actually carried into effect
the men in the ranks were given to
understand that they were being inn
posed upon and that their representa-
tives We're fighting for them. OF the
quiet transactions in which money
passed they knew nothing.
The Brindell case, like the Parks
case, is really of more importance to
organized labor than to the public.
1t shows that the members Of the
unions should be always sure Of the
integrity of their leaders and rep
resentatives and agents. In their de-
mocracy they should be themselves
continually alert to protect their or
CARNATIONS from graft that in the
long run works heavily to their own

Hrindell's Conviction,

Some months ago evidence appear
ed that building operations in New
York. greatly needed as means Of
relieving the housing shortage from
which that city suffered. in common
with all others, were being held up
by a combination of extortioners in
the building trades. unions and the
contractors. An investigating COM
mittee was named and uncovered a
'lamentable condition. Several indict-
ments were brought as result of
these disclosures in this investigation.
A millionaire builder was the first
brought to trial. The jury disagreed
and the defendant is now awaiting a
new trial. Yesterday the president
Of the building trades council was con.

Cabinet Talk.

Gen. Dawes has taken himself out
Of all cabinet talk He was at one
time very prominent in it. In several
quarters he was slated for the Treas

for a cabinet honor.
That Mr.. Harding is having "a
