STOCK PRICES ADVANCE
IN NEW YORK MARKET
Conference at the White
House Increases Confi
dence of Buyers'.
RAILROADS HOPEFUL
Belief That; Administration
Will Moderate Policy
of Prosecution
NEW YORK. June S.— The stock)
markot today was Inclined to show i
wide deductions from the conference at I
the White House last night of the
members, of the national administration
to discuss the results of the Investi
gations -of the interstate commerce
commission into the affairs of various
corporations and railroad combina
tions. The common assumption In the
financial district was that a moderation
of the policy of prosecution of cor-.!
poratlons was to be inferred as in con- ;
templation. The responses of prices In- j
dicated that the Harrlman group was j
regarded as most immediately, involved
In this decision. The feeling is very
general in financial circles, how
ever, that a large part of the diffl- '
cultles In securing capital for railroad
extensions and general j improvements
has been directly due to the discredit
thrown upon the corporations in'gen
eral by the attitude' of the adminis
tration toward these bodies. There' ls
a. deep seated sentiment in Wall street
that a moderation of governmental
• severities toward corporations would
operate materially to facilitate the
raising of needed capital.
The poor bank statement was a tem
porary offset to the influence of the \u25a0
Washington reports, the known move- !
raents of money during the .week ac- 1
counting for only about half the losses \u25a0
of over $9,000,000 in cash holdings, as
the $3,600,000 gold which goes out to-i
day is not supposed to figure in the]
\u25a0week's statement, but to be reserved
for appearance in next week's return.
The loan increase, although slight,
helped to swell the deposit item and
the reserve requirement with a net re
sult of cutting down the surplus re
serve more than half. It Is the opin
ion that further, gold will go out to"
Paris next week, although the exchange
rate at Paris on London advanced again
today and narrowed the margin of
profit on shipments of gold from here^
Prices recovered after the hesitation
caused by the bank showing and closed
firm, but rather below the best prices.
Total sales of bonds <par value),
$565.000.

AERONAUT SANTOS DUMONT
HAS A NARROW ESCAPE

Bungling Workmen During At
tempt to Fly Machine
PARIS, June B.— Santos Dumont had
a narrow escape today from . sustain
ing serious Injuries if : not losing his \u25a0
life. He started to try a new airship
at daylight In a field at Bagatelles. The
machine was mounted 'on "' bipycle ;
\u25a0wheels and was sailing along at a
rapid pace preparatory to making a
Cight when a bungling workman ,
tightened the guide rope, causing
the tail of a small balloon over
the aeroplane to sag. with the result
that Ihe propeller touched the ground,
rebounded and ripped open the gas
bag. ,„\u25a0;.
Fortunately Santos Dumont shut off
the motor in time to prevent an ex
plosion being caused by the escaping
pas. The aeronaut was badly shaken
up. but Is not discouraged and will try
again* as soon as bis combination bal
loon aeroplane apparatus is repaired. -
He hopes, eventually to develop a
Epeed of about 100 kilometers an hour.
