taxed on the strict blockade placed
on roads leading into Arizona from
California because of Che foot and
mouth disease and went to the aid
of the 5000 tourists who are in
pitiful condition at Yuma, when he
issued orders that all tourists who
would submit to fumigation be
allowed to cross into this State
and continue their trip eastward.
The Governor vigorously denied
he had ordered the blockade lifted.
1.-THE blockade is not to be lifted -
he told International News Service,
FOR a single minute. 1t is simply
a temporary relief provision for
the tourists who are in a serious
condition at Yuma. All those who
will submit TO fumigation will be
allowed to come into this State" .
The Governor also said the equip

was at Yuma and 1t is expected the
fumigation would start this morn

RUTH
GUEST Of
THRONC
King Of Swat Autographs and
Gives Away BasebaIIs at
Hearst Building.
By TINY TEsSIE.

Mr.. George Herman Ruth, o
popular athlete from New York
city, caused a considerable furry
in The Washington Times office
and the vicinity of the new Hearst
building today.
Mr.. Ruth, who is said to be an
unusually efficient batsman, at
tracted a large gathering. It was
announced yesterday in The Times
and today in that excellent morn
ing medium, The Herald, that
George would distribute to ad-
miring baseball fans several sam
pies of his handwriting inscribed
on official $1.33 league baseballs,
Balls in Demand.
For some reason these auto
graphed baseballs seemed TO be in
unusual demand, for the crowd that
gathered to do homage to the so
called "Bambino'' (Which means
little child" it is said, was in
deed enthusiastic, and those who
were fortunate enough to obtain
the autographed playthipys were
we'll pleased and the cynosure Of
all eyes.
According to well-informed au
thorities, Mr.. Ruth is one of a
group Of young men who form an
excellent aggregation of baseball
players representing one of two
leagues, each of which has a repre-
sentative team in New York. Other
teams are stationed at convenient
intervals about the country.
Is Good Player.
Mr.. Ruth is credited with being
so we are informed, most inn
portant unit Of the team on which
he plays, and is said in some
quarters to be the most likely per
son known to strike a "home rum
with the ball.
Mr.. Ruth was tastefully dressed
today in clothes that reflect a ma
ture judgment, and q we'll balanced
temperament. The young fellow In
the street car ad on the Mt. Pleas
ant line has nothing on MI. Ruth
for being right fashionable, with
out being extensively conspicuous.
The general impression made BY
Mr.. Ruth is well summarized By
the comment Of Alice, the larger
of our phone operators, to Thelma
the smaller, to-wit:
Listen, Thelma, isn't he JUS
too grand!'
p. S.--Mr. Ruth fastened some Of
the baseballs to balloons filled with
hydrogen gas, and they went down
the street somewhere. Who got
'em do you suppose?
Any having got 'em what are
they going to do with 'em.
N. B.-The boys at Walter Reed
Hospital are going to get one OF
the baseballs with Mr.. Ruths name

 NCORN PRICES
High Price Record Is Reached,
 However, Before The Temporary Lull

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-After a rush to buy. during which all future deliveries of corn brought more than soc bushel today, the corn market underwent at least a temporary reaction. High price records for the season were again broken on todays advance. The close was unsettled, 7s@%c net lower; May, 1914 9799sc. Wheat finished easy, 1s to A to Sac off; oats, A to hc down, and provisions varying from 5c decline to 15c advance. e
 Heavy and persistent profit-taking sales here were chiefly responsible for the setback in the value of corn. The buying rush took place when the mar ket opened, and for the first time this season the May delivery touched soc. On a subsequent bulge May went to S0sc, but throughout the remainder of the day the buying was of less force and, with sellers in a majority, the market had a downward slant. Senti- ment, however, was generally bullish, and the action was regarded in most quarters as transient. Country offer ings were larger. but in the main were held above the market.
 Attention to the fact that shipments of corn, wheat and oats from Chicago exceeded the receipts did moro or less to uphold bull confidence in corn, de- spite today's price downturns. On the other hand, some gossip was current that prolonged holding back of corn by farmers suggested a greater sur plus to come out later on.
 Wheat eased down with corn, not withstanding talk of an International loan to Germany. Some selling of wheat was said to have been induced by the threatened British railroad strike.
 Elevator interests were sellers of oats.
 Provisions averaged higher in re- sponse to the course of hog values.

STOCK MARKET
 LACKING IN TONE
Steel Goes To Fore During Day, But No Constructive
 News
By WILL JOHNSON. By LaSed Wire to Age.Herald.


 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The finan- cial world Thursday vas conspicuous for its lack of additional constructive news. There were some small accounts on the. other side of the record, but they were incidental. Consequently, the stock market presented an irregular ap- pearance.
 On the whole. the day was a stale mate. Steel went to the fore at the opening of the day, reaching an am- bilious high of 1015s and Independent Steel followed the movement, but as the day wore on special selling inducted by technical reasons carried the market off and the movement as whole pushed lower in the final dealings. Some specialties came to the front, aided by pool operations, just as they do when the recognized leaders take a breathing spell.
 The days market was entirely two- sided affair and it appeared that cor rective phase had set in. There was additional evidence that much thought is being taken of the fundamental busi- ness structure. In some respects the country is going ahead and in many others there is still hesitant mood. The latter sentiment is dominant in Wall street and an analysis of the days price movements gave convincing confirmation. ..
 About midday call money turned cheap against at 4 per. cent and this loaned stimulus to the general list. Money at 31a per cent is predicted be- fore the end of next week and on the whole banking conditions have never been more favorable for mercantile and financial operations.

DOROTHY DALTON
 AT CAPITOL TODAY
Seen As Tartar Maid In The
 Law Of The Lawless'

Dorothy Dalton in "The Law of the Lawless,'' with Theodore Kosloff Charles de Roche and Fully Marshall i'll featured roles, has role that suits her perfectly and one she likes i'm mensely. She is seen as Tartar girl. and this enables her to wear the pie turesque costumes of the Roumanian hills, which enhance her charm and give the colorful effect which always registers so admirably on the screen. Besides, the part is one which gives Miss Dalton an opportunity for the display of the vivid acting, fiery. al- most primitive in character, for which she is famed.
 Theodore Kosloff is also cast in a Tartar role and to this his strong per sonallty, artistic perceptions and dramatic force lend themselves per fectly.
 Charles de Roche is excellently cast as gypsy chieftain' His splendid physique, his strong features, his i'm mense acting, all come into play in this part. Fully Marshall is seen as a village money lender. Fred Huntley and Margaret Loomis also are in the cast, and the latter, always a favorite. brings to her characteristic beauty. charm and grace, as we'll as her abil- ity to act.
 The story of ''The Law of the Law less, which will be seen at the Capitol theatre for two days, beginning today, deals svith Tartar girl who is sold at auction in payment of her father debts and bought by a gypsy chieftain. He cQmpels her to marry him and his manly qualities soon prompt her to love him. When her husband is captured by her countrymen, she goes to his rescue with highly dramatic results.
