NEW YORK, June ga slightly

two hours trading on the stock ex'

as professional selling still played
an important part in the early
transactions, but buying for the
account Of large investors over
balanced pressure from those
sources. Bears tried to make the
most of the fact that yesterday s
average price of twenty industrial
and railroad stocks combined estab-
lished a new low point for q period
OF nearly twelve months. At various
times they attacked different issues
in an attempt to bring about re-
newal of the decline in the general
list, but aside from some sharp re-
cessions in a few directions, their
efforts were unsuccessful. Various
.rumors were spread by the pro-
fessional bear clique, one of them
to the effect that certain pools had
been hung up with their stocks as
result of the recent sharp break,
and are now facing an extremely
thin market for their holdings.

Increase of 1886 over the CORE

Baltimore and Ohio reflected the
disappointment felt over the failure

Pressure against the industrial
list increased in the second hour,
being mainly directed against the
independent steel stocks and the
sugar group, the latter in connec.

by leading refiners. The standard
stocks, however, held slightly above
their previous closing levels, indi-
eating the existence of material

National Defense Requires De-

ASHEvILLE, N. c.. June 2S.--
Development of super power" sys-
tens throughout the nation was
urged upon the annual meeting OF
the Southern Appalachian Water
Power conference here yesterday by
Assistant Secretary of War Dwight
Davis, as a step which would do
more than anything else to place
this country on sound footing
with respect to power needs as a
matter Of national defense"
Experiences OF the world war

that an adequate supply Of hydro

while the added benefits to peace

Super-power systems. he explained.
are developed by the inter1ocking
OF power plants by means OF inter-
connecting tie lines between cities.
Such system would equalize
power requirements, cities with a
surplus generating capacity being
able to supply those that are short.
THE super-power systems will
have certain distinct advantages
over isolated plants and larger
systems which are not intercon-
nected," Davis said. They are:
First. the surplus capacity of
any locality. where there il an tx-
cess, can be. used to equalize the
shortages at other points;
Second, If any new war plant
requires q very large block of
power delivered at some particular
point, super-power system will be
able to draw surplus power from
numerous generating plants and con-
centrate it at the specified point
needed: and.
Third, the super-power system.
which will make a proper use or
such water power as is available,
will require the labor of q much
smaller number of men than is re-
quired for smaller systems and $50
lated plants
Davis predicted a great indus
trial development in the southern
Appalachian district in the next
decade Available water power

with the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe; Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Of
Texas; International Great North

All common carriers operating in
Alabama, either ny rail-, express or
water, were cited by the public SER
vice commission today to appear May
10 and show why new rules and regu-
lations for their operation shall not
be promulgated by the commission.
Many of the proposed rules are the
same as those which have been in
effect, but several new proposals are
made by the commission in its ci-
tation.
one of the new rules would require
all carriers operating passenger
trains and Pullman sleeping cars to
keep their cars supplied with fresh
drinking water, well-heated during
the winter months. properly venti,at-
ed and in sanitary condition. Each
coach would be provided with re-
cepticle for the deposit of traEl.
Provides Shortest Route.
Another proposed rule would re-
quire railroad or express company
accepting shipments to route the
shipments by the shortest and least
expensive route unless directed to
do SO otherwise by the shipper. AT
present transportation company is
not required to send shipments by
Instructions have been given at the
time the shipments were started by
the consigners. The first proposed
general order will require each com
mon carrier to issue a bill OF lading
for each shipment rendered at non
agency stations when the shippers
requested.
The second would require the rail
roads to maintain bulIeting boards
for the convenience of passengers
and TO post the time of arrival and
departure of trains with notation
of delay, and when delay is ) min
utes or more. The carrier will be
forced to correct the bulletins at least
one hour before the arrival of trains
when communication is had with dis
patching offices.
The third would require the main
tenanee of adequate sitting rooms
for white and colored passengers
and the opening of the waiting
rooms at least one hour before the
time for arrival of trains.
Another would permit a shipper
to designate the route mis- shipment
is to take and would require the
carriers to handle the shipment as
directed
Another proposed is that each car
rier shall file with the commission
any contracts with other carriers re-
lating to the transportation of per-
sons and property.
Still another proposed would re-
quire the carriers to keep their
freight stations open for the re-
ception and delivery of freight nine
hears a day, which period would
include one hour for lunch. Where
only one person is employed the
station could be crossed after eight
hours. This ~ction would not apply
