LAW TO DRIVE
FIRE HORSES TO
AUCTION BLOCK
Plans to PrOUide Comfortable
Old Age Knocked Out
by Ruling.

The cold hand Of the law may crush
warm hearted plans of the board of park
commissioners to provide a comfortable
old age for several horses which are vet
Grams in the fire department 1t ap-
peared today. The horses are being re-
placed by motor equipment.
The park board planned with the board
of safety to have ten of the horses, in
Guiding Bob, one of the oldest horses in
the department and the namesake Of City
Controller Robert II. Bryson, transferred
to the park department for the nominal
sum of $35 each. An appraisal at this
amount was accepted.
When the general appraiscment Of OBJ
solete properly held by the board Of
safety was made for the board AMI Gp-
proved by the city council the ten
horses. which already are being cared FOR
by the park department, Wee included.
Now, Corporation Counsel Samuel Ash
by has ruled that the ten horses having
been included in the general appralse-
ment must be sold at the auction sale
at the city barns, 1874 Shelby street, at
10 o'clock Friday morning. James II.
Lowry, superintendent of Parks, said he
thought the park board would try TO
find some way of obtaining at least the
older horses. The board will discuss
the question at the weekly meeting to-
morrow afternoon.

With a good active demand on the

than the top Of the market of the day
before.
There was a narrower range on the
bulk Of sales than on the Tuesday mar
ket but the bulk of sales today ranged
from S975d1O.25. This was due TO a

STOCK MARKET
TONE STEADY
Losses and Gains About Equal
in General List.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Reports that
the district attorney viii be asked to
investigate the sharp declines suffered in
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies for the
past week, led to a rush Of shorts in
that issue to cover at the opening Of the
stock market today. AS a result the
stock rose to 5014, a gain Of AZ points.
The rest Of the list displayed a steady
uRdertone with fractional losses and
gains being about equally divided.
The railroads made little response to
the passage Of the WInslow bill by the
Senate Yesterday, which provides for
partial payments to railroads
Baltimore & Ohio rose q Of a point to
BAN. while Reading, Southern Pacific and
AtchisOn also rose frdctiOnally. Norfolk
& Western yielded y Of point to w q
Sears BOebuck was in heavy supply,
falling nearly points to S2l3.
Central Leather showed a firm tone,
making a gain of IA points to 3S4.
United States Steel opened down 3 OF
a point at S31s, but moved up again 10
S315 in the next few sales.
Trading in other issues was small and
changes without Importance,
The feature Of the forenoon trading
was the almost entire absence or offer
fngs except from shorts These inter
ests. however, were cautious about con-
tinuing the drive against Atlantic Gulf
and after 900 shares of that stock were
bought at the opening at - to 30. It
made a further gain to SOB, or almost
five noints above Mondays final prices.
From that it reacted to 40.
Some Of the bear traders offered United
States Steel, making that stock yield =
of a point to S3.s, but it recovered ITS
loss.
Mexican Petroleum, which was the
pressure at the start, declined y of a
point to 157, advancing before the end
Of the first hour to 15S5s.
There was little business IN railroad
stocks, but the changes were generally
TO higher figures.

MEXICAN RAIL
STRIKE GROWS
Oregon Meets Threats by
Sending Troops.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. ga general
railway strike threatened today to test
the strength Of the new Obregon govern
ment President Obregon met the threat
Of strike by statiOning troops In rail-
way offices here and dispatching others
to take possession of outlying stations.
Much damage already has been inflicted
on railway property.
Workers late yesterday tore up long
section of the Colima road to the west
coast, scattering ties and rails and effec-
lively stopping traffic.
Several telegraph stations were entered,
instruments being destroyed and the
buildings damagd.
The general labor situation has been
disqueting for months and it was
brought to a crisis during the recent
Pan-Amerlcan labor congress here when
radicals protested that Mexican dele
gates did not represent Mexican labor.
Reports have been current that the rad
icals were being financed from the out
side. 1t was believed that a railway
strike would be followed quickly by
demonstrations in other lines Of work.
