Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 28.-Despite
| the fact that the average prices of
/ industrial and railroad stocks declined
| last week to a new low level for the
bear market, Wall Street has little hope
for change this week for the better
: In the securities markets.
This lack of hope arises from the
iact that there are as yet no signs that
liquidation has been completed or that
the powerful banking interests of the
Nation have entered the market with
supporting orders.
Another reason for gloom lies in the
unsettled conditions which have grown
out Of the disturbed credit situation
following the temporary abandonment
OF the gold standard by Great Britain.
The financial district realizes that it
will be some time before the readjust-
ment resulting from this has progressed
to the point where betterment can be
! anticipated.
The Poor Rich.
The so-called big banking interests
/ are unable at this time to come forward
and take care of the steady liquidation
, which Is coming into the market from
all parts of the world In former
panicS the banking fraternity has been
able to cope with professional short
selling and raiding. but that element has
grown too large, and financially power
full to be eliminated, especially when
financial and trade developments con-
tinue to show no signs of improvement.
Some vigorous efforts have been made
by the New York Stock Exchange to
curb short selling, but its ability to
restrain bear raiding is somewhat linn
tied by the fact that it has no control
over the operations Of those profess
sional operators who are not members
OF the Stock Exchange, and it is this
class Of professional operators who have
been largely responsible for the vicious
raiding of stocks
The feeling, however, Is growing that
under the usual conditions prevailing
and the inability of the big banking
interests to protect the stock market,
that there should be less raiding of
stocks, especially in view Of the present
low prices.
WatchfuI Waiting.
The Street will this week continue to
watch closely developments relative to
financial conditions in Europe, especial
ly England. Amy favorable news from
abroad would undoubtedly find quick
and favorable reflection in the stock
market here, and stability of sterling
exchange would have favorable in
fuence on sentiment.
The Street received some encourage
ment the latter part of the week from
the apparent elimination Of the down.
ward movement in the pound sterling.
Further liquidation Of American securi-
ties from abroad, however, is expected
this week as part of the readjustment
process which Is now under way in
world finances.
Failure Of general trade and indus
try to show Fall seasonal improvement
has been another reason for the con-
tinued pessimism in Wall Street. The
fact that no expansion in business has
appeared, while. on the other hand,

AS we stated, with the closira -
the terms of Moore, Clifford and
Ethel, the new law went into ef
feet and the county commissioners
took charge of the home. The com
missioners with the county auditor
hold monthly meetings at the home,
on the first Saturday of each
month. We had an invitation to
meet with them in their meeting of
Sept. 5, 1881, but on account of the
fact that we knew we could get the
figures from Auditor Gordon, we
worked elsewhere.
In the beginning of our writing
we told you that the commissioners
and tax payers at the time of the
purchase and building of the home,
had a feeling for the unfortunates
of the county. We might do well to
tell you that that feeling is in the
hearts of the commissioners of the
present, as well as Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor
While some of the inmates are
intelligent, and are unfortunate n
nancially, quite large percent are
lacking of the former. Our friend
Charles gets along with them fine.
For many years the superintendent
| were hired by the commissioners,
and the man who had the most pull
with the board got the job. For
the past several years the position
has been under civil service, and we
believe we are stating facts when
| we say that Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
are satisfactory to not only the
| commissioners but to the citizenry
| anu tdA payers VI thO SouheJ A~
! only some who want the job for
! themselves or a friend, find any
fault; and then they can't find any
| thing that the commissioners, tax
payers and folks who have the best
interest of the home at heart, pay
any attention to.
While we are presenting you as
good a picture of the home as 1t Is
possible to get, you only get
glimpse of what is here. While we
enjoy reading after globe trotters
we enjoy most seeing Morgan coun
ty sights and conversing with the
good folks who make up her cit
izenry. We have felt that thi
work would be. incomplete withou
the picture of the home and of tn
: folks who have the care and man
agement. Again we want to THANH

gathering of facts, and insist tina

Billiard Tournament
Now In Progress

Tho business men OF Vashon are
having lot OF fun, and at the same
time developing their game of billiards
In the tournament now In progress at
the Vashon Billiard Parlors.
The ten men now entered in
Round Robin Handicap Tournament
are Gus Bacchus, Buster Clark, Jack
Collier, DR.. Coutts, H. G. Cronandcr,
Ed Harmeling, Geo. Leslie Geo. Nc
cormick, John Metzenberg and Mr..
Zimmerman.
Ninety games will be played In the
tournament which started last Nom
day night, and the attractive prizes
offered by Geo. Wiley. proprietor, and
several other Vashon merchants, have
greatly stimulated the interest. Play
ing of tournament games begins each
evening at $3.50 and the public is in
vited to come and see the fun.
Mr. Wiley is running billiard par
Tor that is unique. He is determined
that his place shall never warrant the
stigma that has become attached to
such places In the past, and regard
less OF Its effect on future patronage
of individuals insists that the conduct
of those playing on his tables shall
be as orderly as In any other place
OF business. He will allow no one to
play who will not conform to the
rules Of conduct he has laid down.
1t was rather startling when a few
weeks ago Mr.. Wiley issued an invi-
tation to the women of the Island to
come with their husbands to the
billiard room. But after several had
hesitatingly taken advantage of his
invitation they too are becoming en-
thusiastic, and 1t will not be surpris-
ing If the women take up this sport
that is enjoying increasing popularity
with the men. Mrs Wiley spends
good deal Of her time helping Mr..
whey, ana is good company for any
of the Island women who wish to drop
in and watch game Of billiards.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley like vashon Is
land and are well satisfied with the
response they are receiving in ven
ture that is an innovation here. A
billiard room. conducted as theirs is,
fills long felt want for place where
one may find clean, decent amuse-
ment.
At the present writing, up to We'd
nesday evening the results of the
Vashon business mems tournament is
as follows: Metzenberg, won two
games; Cronander, lost one, won one;

sketches by Kate NJ. Forbes, one Of
the Islands most talented women.
Mrs. Forbcs will tell n number Of
interesting experiences she had dur
Ing the nineteen months which she
and her daughter. Marcia, spent
visiting oil parts Of Europe In 1922
and 1923.
Mrs. Forbes Is not only nm author
Of recognized ability and has had
several Of her books published, but
she has also written n number Of

It was given orally. i
We pronounce these articles the
