Fluctuations Noted.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES,

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 7.-Interest in
today's trading In bonds centered on
special issues. The general market
was remarkably stable. There was
little change in the liberties and the
high-grade rails and industrials. A
few large blocks changed hands in
the outside market, but with small
fluctuations in price. On the ex-
change industrials more or less specu-
lative moved irreguIarly.
Rallies From Extreme Low,
American Agricultural Chemical
T12s, which had a net loss of 9L
points last week, rallied from their
extreme low. Apparently support had
come into the market or there was
a good deal of short covering Be-
tween S4h and S5 sales were in large
volume. Virginia Carolina Chemical
Is were a little lower, but not so
active. On the other hand, Kelly
Springfield SIS sold down to new low
for the year on the offer of only a
few bonds. Fisk Rubber IS went off

the year. The same was true of Ajax

Tacoma Man Draws Ire
of Public Works Head

OLYMPIA.-Homer T. Bone, speak
ing in Aberdeen in advocacy of Initia-
tive Measure No. So, the tax-exempt
power bill, has drawn the fire of the
Department of Public Works by criti-
cism of the department and a state
ment of the earnings allowed private
ly-owned utilities
The beneficiaries Of Initiative Meas
ure No. 81 would not come under the
control of or be regulated by the De
partment of Public Works, though, as
Mr.. Bone pointed out, privately owned
utilities do. Mr.. Bone declared in his
speech that the department allows
privately-owned electric power com
panies to earn the following:
First-All salaries, wages and man
agerial costs.
Second = An allowance covering
yearly depreciation of the plant.
Third-All interest charges on its
interest-bearing debt, represented by
borrowed money This includes al
bonds, notes and debentures.
Then, on top of these charges
comes the profits to the stockholders
Director E. V. Kuykendall of the
Department of Public Works declares
that this statement is absurd, though
1t is possible some alninformed person
might believe it.
"The department" continued Mr.
Kuykendall, never allows interest
on Indebtedness as an expense. In
terest must be paid out OF the reason
able earnings on the value of the
property before the stockholders gel
any money. The department first de
termines the actual value of the prop
erty used and disable in supplying the
service the utility is presumed to give
and the least possible cost of opera
ton under efficient management
Rates are figured to cover cost OF
service and a reasonable earning or
the actual value of the plant. 1t is
no concern Of the department where
these earnings go, whether they are
paid out on bond interest or go to the
stockholders.
"a further statement Mr.. Bone is
quoted as making that private com.
panies never pay or retire their In.
debtedness, but keep their bonds re.
newed from time to time and thus
make double earnings, also is untrue,
for there is no such thing as double
earning"
Mr.. Bone was quoted as saying 1t
cost $2,000000 to run the department
for the last two years.
This Is twice the amount it has cost
to maintain the department for IA
years, Mr.. Kuykendall shows. At the
present time, he said, the drain on
the general fund is only $4,000 a
year, although the work is four times
greater than 1t was ten years ago. The
remainder of the expense is met by
fees which are not a charge against
the taxpayers.

PITTSBURG, March 15.-(By As sociated Press. )--So many deaths from carbon monoxide. a gas present in tho exhaust from automobiles, have occurred throughout the country during the past few months that the Pittsburg station United States bureau of mines, has been prompted to call the attention oi the public to its danger. tz
 Seldom day passes at this season but the death of one or more persons is recorded. Fatalities are particularly noticeable in the natural gas belt ot Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia while deaths from the exhaust gas of automobiles are increasing. Carbon rnonoxide is given off Sn quantities by burning natural gas, while it is prac. tically always present in exceedingly dangerous quantities in the exhaust a from gasoline engines.
 Thousands of houses in the natural gas belt have no flues for carrying off waste gases, which, in such cases, pass off into the room where the fire is burn nig. If all windows and doors are closed, as they may be in cold weather, when gas is being consumed, the effect sooner or later becomes apparent on the occupants. They become dull and sleepy, and, if not aroused, may pass into unconsciousness and eventually die. \, { The bureau recommends that when gas heater without flue is used, a window or door be partly open at all times; half an inch or so will answer. The bureau has found that the air in a room should be changed every hour {; re fIn E~rsI -I.A l. IL displaced by fresh air during that period. But if there is a continuous fresh inflow, this will counteract the poisonous gas unless the individual is 90 close to the source of the waste gas as to breathe it before it is sufficiently diluted with fresh air. The bureau sounds q warning never to go to bed with heater burning and the windows and doors closed to do so would be Flirting with death."
 The danger from waste automobile gases is no less real. If the engine has to be kept running in the garage, the garage must be ventilated. Drivers are warned never to crawl under car when ehe engine is running. no matter how good the ventilation. And sitting in an automobile in a garage with the en. zine in motion is distinctly a danger. ous thing to do.
 Another hazard of exhaust gas is that of sitting in tightly closed automobile on q highway, or elsewhere, with the engine going. The car may be fitted with a leaky heater, through which the exhaust gets into and concentrates in the car, or the exhaust from the muf- Yer in some manner gets in and ac- eumulates in its confinement.
 If people must sit in an automo- bile," says the bureau, 'they must have some fresh air entering the tonneau. otherwise they are playing with death.''

E. F. Small, president of the An1tfi- can Express company, extended 0{- ficial cooperation with all American express offices throughout the world.
 A vital feature of preparation was the pathfinding expedition of two officers to go over the most difficult portions Of the route. Lieut.. c. F. Crumrine cot- cred the territory from Hull, England, to Montreal with particular attention to Greenland, where two landings must be made, one on the east coast and one | on the west coast, under the most diff ficult conditions. Lieut.. Clifford c. Mutt was sent to the Philippine Islands, then to the Asiatic mainland to make preliminary arrangements following courtesies extended by, the governments O. Japan, China, Great Britain, France, etc. Both of these officers. together with First Lieut.. St. Clair Streett, were members of the flying expedition which Lieutenant Streett commanded, from
 Washington to Nome, Alaska, several years ago.
 Upon the data returned from Lieu. tenants Crumrine and Mutt, together with that provided by other air service officers and air attaches throaghouts the world, a detailed study of the route Twas made in the office of the chief of air service. The United States coast guard obtained data on facilities be- tween Seattle, Wash, and Attu Island II, the Aleutian group, which is the point of the departure of the flight from the United States possessions.
 How The light Is Divided
 In order to assure the availability of every possible facility for the use of this flight, special attention is being given to the weather conditions throughout the route. The proposed airway around the world has been sub divided into six divisions First diyi- sion beginning at Washington, D. C., and ending at Attu Island on the Aleu- tian group: second division, ending at Nagasaki, Japan; third division, end ing at Calcutta, India fourth division ending at Constantinople, Turkey fifth division, ending at London (Hull), Eng land; sixth division, ending at Wash ington, D. c. It is proposed to have one advance officer cover each section of this route to obtain detailed infor- nation on landing facilities on land or water transportation, airways, meteor ological and climatic conditions and other pertinent subjects. He will make arrangements for the passage of the flight through the territory to which he is assigned. a.
 Supplies will have to be shipped from the United States to various points on the route several months in advance of the flight. and for this purpose each division will have . main depot with one or more subdepots for major items of supply. Gasoline, oil and smaller ar- ticles of supply will be placed at prac- tically all steps. The longest hop, ac- cording to the present plans, will be from Attu Island to Paramishiru Is-

LONDON, March 15.-Gambling and betting among school children in Glas- gow has become so prevalent that the board of education has decided to use stringent measures to stop it. The board has already sent letters to all parents and teachers demanding that they use their authority tS overcome this evil.
 The pupils not only bet among them selves on trivial contests but many of them make regular bets with unscrupu- lous .bookmakers on horse races and football games. It has been stated that in one school of 800 pupils bookmakers take as much as $75 a day in bets.
