STOCK SALES
HEAVY TODAY
Pressure Most Effective
Against IndustrialS-RailS
Also Downward

New York, Aug. 8-4P)-The stock
market turned decidedly reactionary
today on heavy selling for both ac-
counts. Selling pressure was most
effective against the high priced in
dustrials, several of which broke
four to eight points. Rails yielded
with the industrals although the
losses were nto as large.
The weakness Of the stock market
contrasted with the strength of the
cotton market, which advanced $40
bale on publication Of bullish
government crop report, saying pros
pectivc yield about one million bush
els less than expected.
In the absence Of any definite
news developments, the selling Of
stock was construed as a further cor
rection Of a weakened technical posi-
ton. Despite rumors of substan-
tial extra distribution to stockhold-
ers, Du Pont broke more than eight
points and General Motors, four.
Collins and Altman, Thinker Roller
Bearing, International Harvester,
Case Threshing, General Railway
Signal, Houston Oil, United States
Cast Iron Pipe and Manhattan Elec-
trieal Supply all sold down five or
more points.
A few issues moved against the
current trend. Bethlehem Steel
crossed 60 to new 1927 peak on
buying influenced by the belief that
the company would profit through
the expected increase in naval tom
mage asa result of the failure of the
Geneva naval conference to reach an
agreement. International Nickel
and Congoleum also showed evil
dence Of strength.
The closing was weak. The mar
ket failed to show any recuperative
power late in the day, when profess
SIGNALS ordinarily even. up their con-
tracts. Federal mining and smelling
slumped 10 points and Union Pacific,
United Drug, National Tea, Allied
Chemical, American Smelling and
Eastman Kodak were among other
shares which sustained large losses.

The historic record, however, shows this differ ence between Alaska and the other Territories: The legislators of form CT Territories seemed to direct their efforts toward restricting and cur tailing the power Of federal officials and to strengthening their own self government. In Alaska there are legislators who persist in maintain ing the power of these officials in controlling our local affairs. Tn fact since tie first legislative session. there has been no movment made to strengthen our Territorial admin- istration but has been thwarted by our legislators.
 The history of the struggle to separate the state or territorial units from the control of representatives of the central government is Writte7. in the many of the Acts of Congress for the Territories.
 Section Eleven of the Alaska Or ganic Act which provides that mo person holding a commission or ap- pOintment under the United States shall be member of the legisla- ture, or shall hold any office under the Government of said Territorv' was written into the Organic Acts of the old territories to prevent usurp- ation of powers by Federal officials and not for the purpose of limiting legislative powers. Congress did not conceive it to be possible that self governing unit of the United States would be disposed to have

for it by the central government But Congress did know something ot the unlimited desires for more powers which all bureaucrats DOS ses, and that their federal powers would be exercised to gain Territor- ia1 power.
 It was for the purpose of keeping Federal Officials out of territorial affairs and to prevent legislators from appropriating public funds for their own benefit, that James A. Gar field, a member of Congress from Ohio, on January, 8, 1873, placed in our statutes the following provision: 'That no law of any Territorial Le- gislature shall be made or enforced by which any officer of a Territory or the officers or members of any Territorial Legislature shall be paid any compensation other than that provided by the law of the United States" Surely that language is clear enough to be understood by anyone, and yet the letter and spirit of that law has been constantly vio- lated by our local legislators. This disregard or, perhaps, contempt for the laws of Congress that places in~ hibitions on local legislative auth ority, inhibitions that are certainly for the public good, has fastened itself upon our legislators to such an extent that this contempt has become challange to those who would follow the spirit of the Or ganic Act, and it Is my opinion that the challange has been accept ed, and it now remains for us to see what view the people of the Terri tory take of the question.
 The pernicious effect of what was recently called Establishing a lia- son with Washington" by allowing officers of the United States to mix in State and Territorial affairs was clearly understood by American statesmen of the past.

Saturday Evening Session on Woodstock Avenue Not

The Ku Klux Klan continued it's sessions in Putnam with meeting at the Spencer lot on Woodstock avenue last Saturday evening. This meeting, attended by several hundred klansmen, was very peaeeahle and run off without interruption. in marked contrast 10 that of ten days before, when Putnam firemen were summoned to the scene by box alarm and then attacked when they endcav- ored to extinguish the flaming cross.
 Last Saturday evening the hooded order took great precaution lest there be a duplication of the previous ex- perience. The grounds were closely guarded. with a gowned and hooded man posted every few yards. armed with baseball bat a shovel or some other implement Around the adjacent fire alarm box a detail from the klan kept close watch against any attempts Co pull in fire alarm
 In one respect the session last week was the most gorgeous ever held here. for the usual ceremony of igniting enc cross was amplitied SO that three of them blazed shortly after l0.30 e clock Having been set up on q mound only a few rods distant from the state road. they cast their glow over wide area. and about four hundred hooded figures were east in outline by their illumination.
 Cars of the curious were parked for a long distance along Woodstock avenue, and there was almost a steady stream of automobiles passing by the grounds Persons not in the Klan uniform were not admitted un- less vouched for by figure in white.
 At five minutes of eleven taps was sounded within the meeting ground, and as the crosses smouldered men and women of the ku klux klan filed and drove out. Most of the depar- ting machines bore Connecticut num- bers with a few from Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Both Enrolled in Scientific Course

Charles Murphy and Gordon Win slow. two of Putnam s most outstand- ing young athletes, have arrangements completed for entering Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs in the fall There they will both take four year scientific courses leading to the E. = degree Their records. both scholastic and athletic. at the Put nam High school, point tO brilliant futures for them at Storrs.
 Charles Murphy was graduated from the local high school with the class of 1925 Since then he has been employed locally and has continued tics. The "Gelties' of which he was the manager and one of the star play CTS won the city league basketball title last winter As a schoolboy Mur- phy was q letter man in three sports. He played two years at end on the football team. where his reliability as a forward pass receiver made him particularly marked Tn his senior year his work al forward featured the play of thc school basketball team. One game against Kllliuely High. Murphy won almost single handed with eight field goals AS a baseball player his singles over the intield and sure fielding of all balls hit to his area gave him position on the team for two years
 Winslow Is known widely as one of the most promising young sprinters recently uncovered in Connecticut. He has thrice hung up the record of ten seconds flat for the hundred yard dash and of twenty two seconds for the Z20 yard dash He has par tieipated in many meets, including competition against some of the lead ing prep school runners of New England. and invariably makes an excellent showing However great name he has made by his sprinting, Win is equally famed in Putnam for his football playing As quarter back on the 1925 and 1926 teams he flashed as no high school star in decade has done. In 1925 the team won every game played. and scored oyer two hundred points. most of them coming when NiHslow crossed the liae after priuts of ten to ninety yards. His exceptional speed kept bim clear from tackles after he had rounded Che end of the line As cap tain of the l926 team Ninslow con tinued his sensational hackfeld work.
