YEAR SEEN
FOR BUILDERS

PROVIDENCE, R. T., Feb. II.
The difficulties of the past year
have taught industrial leaders to
face reality. Although the build
ing industry continues to be con-
fronted with many serious prob
lens and should not expect a
rapid upturn in volume of busi-
ness, there is no cause for the
pessimiSm that is existent in the
industry today, E. B. Moran,
executive sales director of the
Bradstreet Company, New York,
told the annual convention of the
New England Builders Supply
Association here last night. He
added:
Easy Money Day Gone
"ValueS have changed and
1868 prices will not return
for three to six years. The
quicker we forget what prop
erty sold for three or four years
ago, the better it will be for
every one in the building trade
and kindred lines.
Optimism, by all means, but
realism with it. Forget your
dreams of fantastic boom
values, easy sales, a buyers
market, and big rewards for
indifferent effort.
"ThiS is going to be a test
year for business. For the fly
by-nightS it will be dog cat
dog. For the dependable types
of business, 1888 will demon
Strate that there has been no
repeal of the law of the
survival of the fittest."
Adaptability Is Guage
The fittest to survive, Mr..
Moran pointed out, are those who
are able to adapt themselves to
their new environment and pres
ent day conditions, which means
ingenuity and adaptability m
methods of production, distrou-
ton and financing.
It means a Shrewder selection
of material for popular appeal
and intelligent and aggressive
salesmanship in the presence OF
the buyer.

I ON NEWS Of
WET VOTE
BY LESLIE GOULD

ny LESLIE NOOAD
NEW YORK, Feb. II U.N.S0 .
Unexpected victory for the anti
prohibition forces in the Senate
dispelled some Of the gloom in
Wall Street today and brought
a firmer stock market after
three days of decline.
Sentiment was further cheered
by better advices from the Michi-
gan banking area and reports of
the accord on the German stand
still agreement.
Some Weak Spots
There were sufficient weak
spots, however, with Standard of
New Jersey Slumping to a new
1888 low on renewal of heavy
selling to hold rallyi1g tendencies
in check and gains in the major
ity of stocks were only frac-
tional.
A few, though, like Case
Threshing. American Telephone
and Delaware and Hudson scored
gains running to a point and
more.
The so-called liquor stocks we're
stimulated by passage of repeal
and the expectation Of victory
in the House on Monday.
Gains ran to two points with
National DistillerS leading, but
the group failed to show the
buoyancy of several months ago
when the drive to end prohibi
tion first got under way in Con-
greSS.
Coca Cola SlumpS
Coca Cola was hit by the pro-
hibition news, slumping more
than two points. National Bis
cult, Woolworth and Borden were
other heavy spots.
Leaders like U. S. Steel, Allied
Chemical and American Can dis
played a better tone. Tobaccos
were aided by Lorillard's excel
lent earnings report for 1882.

JAPAN TO FACE
ISLANDS FIGHT
Demand of Surrender of
inundated Territory to
Be Ignored.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
TOXIC, March 14.-Japan will
ignore stipulations providing for
surrender of 500 inundated islands
in the Pacific wien the nation re-
signs from the League of Nations,
1t was learned today.
The written resignation from
the league, now in the hands of the
privy council, and soon to go to
Emperor Hirohito for approval,
makes no mention whatever of the
islands, it reliably was learned.
A government spokesman previ-
ously had said of the islands: IF
any one wants them, they'll have
to come and get them"
Observers here believe japanese
refusal to surrender the mandate
to the league on resignation from
that body would evoke a league
protest.
A possibility that the United
States might join in attempts to
repoSsess the islands was seen here.
The islands show a favorable
trade balance to Japan. 1t is said
they possess great strategic value
as bases of naval operations.
Recent inquiries as to whether
submarine bases we're being built
there drew Japanese replies that
harbors were being improved for
commercial purposes.

Sheaffer Wins Point in Plea
to Judge Ryan After
SkirmiSh.

Indianapolis municipal courts and
Marion county superior courts are
tribunals of equal rank, it was de-
cided today by Superior Judge Rus
sell j. Ryan.
The decision is a signal victory
for Municipal Judge William II.
Sheaffer, having been based on a
case in which he was defendant.
Plaintiff was Frank J. Sibert. city
prison turnkey. who sought a writ
of prohibition against Sheaffer fol-
lowing a clash over release Of a
prisoner Dec. 30, 1882.
Sheaffer attacked the writ petit
ton on the ground that the superior
court was without jurisdiction ana
authority to issue a writ because it
was a court equal in rank with. the
city courts, and Ryan upheld that
contention.

Three-year- old Robert E. Swat
ford, 4514 East Seventeenth street,
is playing as usual today, with
only few bruises as reminders of
an accident early Monday night
which easily might have cost his
life.
Robert climbed on the back of a
truck as the driver, Ferdy ]. Gibson,
IS, of 1643 Roosevelt avenue, started
in the $500 block East Seventeenth
street.
Deciding to turn, Gibson backed
the truck into Linwood avenue with
a jerk, and the boy was thrown off.
The truck backed over him, but he
was not touched by the wheels, and
escaped with slight bruises incurred
in the fall.
Gibson said he was unaware the
child was near until he heard Rob-
ert scream. Gibson found the boy
beneath the truck, one Of the real
wheels of which was only six inches
from his body.
Today Robert was playing in the
neighborhood with other children
and it was necessary for his father
Charles U. STAFFORD, to round him
up" so picture could be taken.

A Liberal landslide marked the provincial election held Thursday in British Columbia. Liberal party candidates every where rolled up overwhelming majorities and only 3 repre- sentatives of the much-dis- cussed c. c. F., 2 Indepen- dents, 1 Unionist and 1 Labor candidate were able to nose in at the finish.
 Locally the Liberal candidate for the legislature, William J.

Ker- gin, present M. l.. A., carried the town of Anyox, beating MT. Asseltine by 17 votes.
 MT. Asseltine's total vote, as reported up to the time of writ ing, was 381, as against 269 for his closest opponent, F. J. Shenton.
 Returns from Stewart and Premier gave Asseltine 201; Shenton 138; Rolston 70; Ker- gin 21 and Falconer 6.
 The absentee vote is still to be heard from but is not suf- ficiently large to affect the re- suits as indicated above.

Troy Says Gold Price
 Increase Boosts Mining

Enroute to Washington, D. C., Wednesday, Governor John W. Troy of Alaska told press representatives that the in- creased price of gold is giving increased impetus to mining in the Territory, according to rad 10 broadcasts.
 The new gold market is not alone providing increased rev. enues for operating mines, but is also stimulating prospecting and the development of low grade gold deposits heretofore unavailable owing to the val ues, measured by the former gold price, being too low fo1 profitable operation. Thou. sands of acres of low grade placer ground may now be brought into production, as we'll as many low grade quartz properties, the governor said in prophesying a large increase in mining activity in the Terri tory.
 Governor Troy said hundreds of inquiries regarding oppor- tunities for gold mining and prospecting are being received from all parts of the country.
