hand down its deferred recommended
tion on the public hearing here last
Tuesday at which representatives of

ternational and Great Northern Rail
read in Texas has been held off by
the general chairmen of the railroad.

MARSHAL F0CH IS GUEST OF PRESIDENT
STRIKE THREAT
HAD EFFECT ON
STOCK MARKET

New York. Oct. 20. .-Settlcment of
the threatened railroad strike was
the paramount influence of the week
in the stock market, although the
feeling in informed financial circles
had been that the threatened strike
would not reach the critical stage.
Rails suffered only moderate de
preston at their worst and these los"
es were more than reglincd in yes
terday's general rally. Equipments,
stecls, coppers, motors and many
special issues which had been senti-
mentally affected by the labor stu
alton scored equal or larger reoov-
cries.
The most consistent movement was
in domestic oils. that group at I'll
times ignoring reactionary tenden-
cies elsewhere. California issues were
especially strong and alnloSt all the
junior oils were higher b. one to
three points.
Quarterly statements of the Unit
ed States and Bethlehem Steel cor.
porations confirmed reports Of pro
nounced betterment in that industry
and the trend of business conditions
showed broadening inquiry of the
merchandising demand.
Money rates displayed no material
easement and the greater portion If
the weeks call loans were made on
a 512 per cent basis. This quotation
also applied to time funds. although
many thirty and sixty day loans were
made at as low as five per cent on
prime collateral.

and are of gray color. their body
being about the size of the middle
forefinger They are known to
science as Rubber Boa snakes and are
found in southern countries and in a
few places in Nevada. They are HARM

resemblance to rubber. They kill
their food by wrapping their bodies
about their victims and crushing
them to death. Many of them are
found drowned in the flume, and

LOST BATTALION Of
MARINES IS FOUND

A lost battalion" of marines, six
officers and 274 men, were formally
found by the neavy department last
week. Since August. 1917, the battal-
ion has been stationed at Camaguey,
Cbua, in the heart of the island. with
no apparent reason for its being kept
on such an assignment since the days
of the war.
The discovery of the missing
marines was made by Assistant Sec
rotary Roosevelt after dint of much
searching of records and inquiries
among marine officers. The hunt was
started as the result of the present
incident in Camaguey when marines
kicked up some excitement in the
Cuban town after lie Roy Foster an
American engineer and former navy
officer, had been attacked and beaten
by Cubans.
What are the marines doing in
Camaguey?" Mr.. Roosevelt asked him
self after looking at the map of Cuba.

seemed to know. Major General Le-
juene. commandment of the corps, said
they were there all right. but could
vouchsafe no additional information.
The navy list showed marine officers
regularly assigned to the Camaguey
post, but the warrant for such duty
seemed to be lacking.
Finally. red-taped papers were
found which showed that. back in
1917, shortly after Cuba entered the
war on the heels of the United States.
the Cuban government nad requested
the state department to permit the
stationing of American marines at
Camaguey to guard the great sugar
properties there against pro-German
plots.
The American government anxious
to concerve the sugar supply, sent
the marines from the Guantanamo
naval base and there they have been
ever since. Only diplomatic negotia-
lions probably can remove them. The
navy and the department and the
marine corps will see that they are
there until called off by the presi-
dent.-National Republican.
