Market Closes Heavy—Rout of
Bull Interests Is Made
Complete.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—The supply
of stocks was not large when trading
began today, and, although business
was on a comparatively small scale,
prices rose smartly. American To
bacco made the best showing, ad
vancing 3. Gains of about a point
were made by Reading, Union Pa
cific, Canadian Pacific, New York
Central, Rock Island preferred and
American Car and Foundry. Interna
tional Harvester fell 1.
11 a. m.—Speculators bought on the
fear that a rally was due and good
gains were established. Some of the
advance was lost later when the
Rock Island issues went to last
week’s low figures.
Noon—After a brisk advance in the
early session, the market grew quiet,
but prices were well maintained.
The steady absorption for investment
account recently apparently reduced
the floating supply of stocks, and
shorts who attempted to cover were
forced to raise their bids
Forced liquidation of Rock Island
securities carried them down abrupt
ly to new low records, which check
ed the advances elsewhere.
Bonds were Irregular.
1 p. m.—Prices Improved In the
face of a further scaling down of
Rock Island values, and the reaction
In the New York Central to 89%, com
pared with 91% earlier Amalgamated
rose to 77% on the decrease of over
4,000,000 pounds in copper supplies.
2 p. ra.—Weakness of Eastern rail
road stocks caused the whole market
to sag. Early gains, outside of the
copper group, were generally elimin
ated. International Mercantile Ma
rine securities became weak, the
bonds falling 4% points.
3 p. m.—The market closed heavy.
Unloading of stocks bought for the
long account, and sel.lng by the be ir
faction completed the rout or the bull
interests. The break In various low
priced issues had a damaging influ
ence. Prices of the active is ues
shaded further, but net changes as a
rule were unimportant.

CHICAGO. Feb. 9.—Evidence that
a fair amount of export business was
In progress tended today to lift the
wheat market There were com
plaints of the nferlor quality of the
Russian crop, and It was pointed out
that the bulk of the Canadian sur
plus had been disposed of. Return of
mild weather in the United States
winter wheat belt, however, acted as
a check on the advance. Opening
prices, which were % to % to %
higher, were followed by a dip, but
then the market again showed
strength.
Falling oft in the visibe supply to
day led to a further upturn In prices,
but the effect failed to last. The
close was easy at a net advance of
a shade.
Corn suffered from lack of de
mand. Selling pressure, though, was
only moderate. Quotations started
unchanged to % to % lower, and un
derwent a further sag.
Enlarged reclpts caused additional
weakness. The close was heavy at a
decline of % to % net.
In oats, a little speculative buying
kept prices comparatively steady.
Some, but not all, of the purchasers
were shorts.
Higher prices for hogs gave firm
ness to provisions. Initial sales ranged
from Saturday night's level to 6c. ad

Legislative Committee Turns
It Down at Request of Fire
Commissioners.
At the request of the Board of Fire
Commissioners, the city legislative
committee In session today at the
City Hall decided to oppose Assembly
and defines general specifications
relative to booths and other enclos
ures for moving picture machines.
Senate bill No. 118, which again gives
justice of the peace power to perform
marriages, was severely criticised
and finally turned down.
The old matter of the stripe of land
between the Erie railroad and the
river, opposite Mt. Pleasant Ceme
tery, was again discussed at today’s
session. Henry H. Dawson, appear
ing for the cemtery company, told
of a bill which was about to be intro
duced which would ratify and con
firm the present deed. The matter
was finally referred to the tax com
mission. city engineer and Mr. Nugent.
Assembly 222 was disapproved be
cause of five reasons. They are:
1. Chapter 197, laws of New Jersey,
1912, already covers this subject of
moving picture booths fully.
2. This bill does not tend toward
greater safety, but rather weakens
present law.
3. In this bill, portable booths are
to be of asbestos cloth. Newark does
not permit such booths. It would be
a mistake.
4. Booths must be fastened to
the floor except in first and second
class cities. This classification is ab
surd.
6. Portable booths must be ap
proved by the “department of fac
tory inspection of the State of New
Jersey.’’ There is no such depart
ment. If the department of labor is
meant, the idea seems to be to add
one more department to the fire de
partments now having joint Jurisdic
tion.
House bill 231 was approved by the
board following the dictates of the
Board of Assessment and Revision of
Taxes. This bill enables the local
board to name clerks with the consent
of the finance committee of the coun
cil.
Dili Z48 was aleo approved. This ex
empts the taxation of all religious,
charitable and educational buildings
while in the course of erection.
The members of the committee also
placed their stamp of approval on bill
236 which provides that all complaints
in tax assessments must be taken up
with the local boards before the State
board is taken into consideration.
A bill granting the board of tax
commissioners of flrBt-class cities the
power to appoint a chief clerk and
secretary was also approved by the
local board.
It was also decided to hold another
hearing on the police and ftremen pen
sion-fund matter on Wednesday after
noon at 3 o’clock.

Cotton Market
NEW YORK, Feb. 9—Reports of
financial trouble in Memphis helped
to unsettle the cotton market during
today’s early trading. Cables were
lower than due, and prices here
opened barely steady at a decline of
8 to 10 on old crop and 4 to 5 on new
crop positions as a result of scatter
ing tlquidation, straddle selling or bear
pressure. Offerings were pretty well
taken around the initial figures by
covering of shorts, or some fresh buy
ing attracted by the new low level of
prices, and the market rallied 4 or 5
from the lowest. The undertone, how
ever, continued more or less nervous
and subsequent fluctuations were ir
regular.
Active months sold 11 to 17 potnts
net lower later under continued liqui
dation and the market was still very
much unsettled at midday, although
prices showed rallies of 8 or 4 from
the lowest on covering.
Trading was less active during the
early afternoon, and the market seem
ed u shade steadier, with active
months about 7 to 10 points net lower.
London Stock Market
LONDON, Feb. 9.—Discount rates
were easy today owing to the large
supply of money available.
Dealers on the stock exchange were
principally engaged with the mining
carry-over. Transactions were mod
erate and the tone was generally
Bteady, although a hardening tendency
which developed at noon was re
placed later by an easier feeling.
Consols lost an early advance of a
quarter of a point and Brazilian
shares finished weak. Copper stocks
were firm features.
The American was the brightest of
the various sections. Prices opened
steady and about unchanged and
later steadily advanced on covering
for over the settlement. The closing
was steady.
The weakness in consols was due
to the prospective South African gov
ernment loan of $20,000,000 4 per cent,
bonds at $8%.
POLICE ORDER ENDS
SUFFRAGIST’S TALK
Montclair Meeting Too Near
Vaudeville to Suit Town
Official.
Montclair suffragists held their first
public Sunday meeting yesterday aft
ernoon in the Montclair Theatre. One
of the speakers, Miss Agnes Best, of
New York, came under the censor's
ban and was stopped before she had
concluded her speech.
When the local suffragists first
asked for a permit to hold a public
meeting on Sunday members of the
rown Council objected on the ground
that such a meeting would be political
and would be a precedent for future
political meetings. The suffragists
explained that the purpose of the
meeting was educational; that they
were not campaigning or laying down
campaign issues. They wanted to
discuss the application of the equal
suffrage movement to the cause of
the laboring woman. With this un
derstanding the permit was granted
and It was arranged that Arthur G.
Wilson, chairman of the police com
mittee of the Town Council, should
be present to see that everything was
all right.
The speakers were Miss Margaret
Hlncbey and Miss Best. Nothing
happened during Miss Hlnchey'g
speech, but while Miss Best was talk
ing Mrs. Arthur Hunter, president of
the association, stepped forward,
tapped Miss Best on the arm and
wh.spered something in her ear.
Miss Best promptly sat down and
the meeting went on as if nothing had
happened. Miss Best had been giv
ing a series of anecdotes, dealing
mostly with the Bast Side of Man
hattan. Most of these related to per
sonal experiences, and In narrating
them she frequently found occasion
to imitate the enunciation of the peo
ple of whom she spoke.
After the meeting was all over Mr.
Wilson explained the reason for the
sudden stopping of Miss Best's speech.
He said he thought her lecture "sav
ored too much of vaudeville," and
that it was outside the bounds of an
educational discussion and not In full
accord with the statements made
when the permit for the meeting was
obtained. So he wfote a note object
ing to Miss Best’s lecture and sent It
to Mrs. Hunter, who stopped Miss
Best.
Rev. Edgar S. Wlers, pastor of
Unity Church, presided at the meet
ing, which was opened with prayer
by Rev. Henry E. Jackson, pastor of
the Christian Union Congregational
Church. The women who acted as
hostesses at the meeting were Mrs.
George E. Barstow, Jr., Mrs. Board
man Wright, Mrs. Herbert W. Dutch,
Miss Margaret Reed, Miss Cassandre
Hinsman, Mrs. Alfred W. Dlller, Mrs.
Alexander Eakln. Mrs. B. L. Raetzer,
Mrs. Frank H. Davis, Miss Eva Rose.

Orange Assessor Stops Sale
Until Back Taxes Are Paid
Tax Assessor John P. Lee, of Or
ange, wag strolling along Main
street, that city, this morning when
he noticed a red flag boaring an
auctioneer’s name snapping merrily in
the sharp breezes in front of 183. He
recalled the city had back taxes
totaling 117.74 on $400 stock that was
charged against the proprietor, and
walking inside found a group of men
waiting for Alber* E. Robinson and
M. ' Birnbaum, the auctioneers, to
start the sale of fixtures.
Mr. Lee sought out the owner and
found two men named Goldberg and
Per] were the present owners, and ho
insisted upon payment of the taxes
before any of the property was put
up for sale. There was a short parley
between the official and the latest
proprieors of the store. 1 ut the as
sessor was obdurate nnd soon after
wards emerged, smiling, with his
$17.74, which he turned over to the
citv treasurer.
Mr. Lee has collected quite some
money in this manner.

SENATE LIBERAL IN
DEFENSE BUDGET
Votes $6,895,200 for Fortifica
tions—Senators Deplore Un
preparedness for War.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.—'The Sen
ate today passed the fortification ap
propriation bill carrying 16,895.200 and
materially increasing the House ap
propriations for artillery and ammu
nition. Preparedness of the United
States for war was debated during
consideration of the bill.
Senator Bryan said the increases
were made to meet as nearly as pos
sible the estimate for an army of half
a million men.
"If there are only 76.000 men in the
army now, why should we have an
army of half a million men," asked
Senator Sheppard.
“So as to be prepared for war,” re
plied Senator Bryan. "While we had
I only 20.000 men operating around San
I tiago in the Spanish-American war,
we had some quarter of a million men
enlisted. With this allowance of guns,
America would still have less guns
per man than any other first-class
power. We would have about the
same proportion as Bulgaria and Ser
via. We should remember it takes
vears to make these guns ”
“Think of the great Pacific coast
without enough powder to last thlrty
minutes under attack," exclaimed
Senator Warren.
Senator Smoot said the lack of
ammunition was almost criminal.
“Even Mexico possesses more mobile
guns than we do." 6aid he.
Senator Ashurst attacked the ap
propriations aa extravagant.
"We are now spend ng sixty-five
cents out of every dol’ar raised by the
federal government for wars past, or
which we think or pretend to think
are in the future.
Senator Sutherland challenged his
figures.
Senator Ashurst retorted there were
"patriots for profit only" in the coun
try, who "filled the country with
alarme of war." because they- had ar
mor plate or powder to sell.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the military committee, p'eaded for a
more efficient army as the b st
method of keeping peace.
"I do not th'nk I am out of place In
saying that the situation now -on
fronting this country is a delicateone,"
he added. "I hope we never wil have
trouble, but we ought to be prepared
for trouble if It ever comes."

CONTI, BANKRUPT,
HAS DISAPPEARED
Failed to Return to His Home
from Hospital Last
Wednesday.
! Cesar? Conti, the banker, who,
while a patient in the Flower Hos- j
pital in New York last Wednesday, |
placed his affairs In the hands of an
assignee has mysteriously disappear- .
ed and cannot be located by his
friends. He left the hospital on the j
same day that the bankruptcy pro-1
ceedlngs were started, but failed to
return to his room at Old Maria's
Hotel at 109 West Thirty-eighth j
street, New York.
Conti was formerly a resident of j
32 Cedar avenue, Montclair, but j
neither ir. that town nor in Hast Or- ■
ange, N. J., where his mother Is re- j
siding, can any news of the missing J
banker be secured. Conti formerly ;
conducted a branch of his banking
business In this city, at 19 Market
street
During the banker’s Illness E. C.
Buchignanl, Mr. Conti’s manager,
said debts had accrued and some
creditors had pressed for a settle
ment- Some alarm also was ex
pressed among Italian depositors In
the Conti bank because of the con
tinued absence of Mr. Conti, and
mainly for th’s reason, the manager
said, Mr. Conti had deemed It advis
able to place his affairs in the man
agement of Mr. Conklin. The private
bank was declared solvent The
Green River Distilling Company Is
one of the largest creditors
In addition to his importing and
banking business. Mr. Conti is agent
for the Ita.o-American Stores and the
Uoyd Sabaudo Steamship Company.
He owns a large block of stock (n the
latter company, estimated at 8200,0AI.
Cesare Conti, who was for years
Italian consul here, has long been
prominent In charitable work among
his countrymen. He was foremost In
aiding the Messina earthquake suf
ferers, and has assisted the police 1
In running down vagrant groups of ,
the Black Hand.
There Is likelihood that the busi
ness will be closed during an at
tempt at readjustment of Mr. Conti’s )
affairs.
A reporter called last night on Ar- !
thur Thompson, who lives at the
Paterno apartments. 116th street and
Riverside Drive, and Is a heavy de- I
positor In the Conti bank. Mr i
Thompson said:
"1 haven’t the remotest Idea what
has become of Mr. Conti. Besides be
ing a depositor in his bank I am his
personal friend. A few days ago 11
called up the Flower Hospital to j
learn how he was progressing and
until you called here tonight I be-1
lieved he was still In the hospital.
“I have known Mr. Conti for a'
number of years and have dined 1
with him at his home in Montclair, at.
Maria's and when he lived on Sixty- |
third street. In fact he has been'
both banker and friend to Mrs. I
Thompson and myself.”
Mr. Thompson was then told that
he was reported to have had 1850,000
In the Conti bank. He said .
"Oh, no. that Is greatly exagger
ated. I had about 875,000 as near as
I can recall, and have placed the
matter In the hands of my attorney,
Louis Stockier, with authority to
take any action that be may deem
necessary under the circumstances.
As far as I know only the routine
procedure has been followed.
"I know of no reason why Mr.
Conti should disappear. He was a
sick man and on that account as
signed his business. If he has left
the hospital I feel sure that Inquiry
at his office will establish his where
abouts.”
At the Flower Hospital last night
It was said that Mr Conti had left
the Institution on Wednesday and
nothing was known as to his present
whereabouts. His condition seemed
to be greatly Improved.

REALSCULPTORS’
Borglum Says Most Statues
Not Made by Those Whose
Names They Bear.
NEW YORK. Feb. 9.—“Nearly Gfl
per cent, of all the monument® end
statues in the United States, includ
ing those in Statuary Hall, Wash
ington, were not made by those
whose names they bear," said Gutzott
Borglum, the sculptor, yesterday.
“The artists who made them are
probab’y starving somewhere. Pov
erty forced them to let their bra©
children bear the names of foster
parents."
This statement, and others con- ;
demning the commercialization of '
art. was part of an address on art
ma«i. yesterday before the Woman's
Political Union in the Berkeley The*
at re.
The sculptor said in part:
“Tb;e nation has stood fo; freed**
We hav e written the word 'Freedom*
in large letters across our skies. We
have invited the courageous to come
here and give expression to their
ideas. Now we see we have no such
thing as freedom. One must kowtow
to a certain clique, one must get In i
the circle to get recognition. Genius
knocks on the door and gets no an’
swer but its own echo.
“Right here in your city I have
known two or three sculptors who
committed suicide. They had been
doing other men's work, the other
men getting the credit and they
getting barely enough money to ev
iet. I know that most of the work
of statuary in thin country has not ;
been done by the men whose names
are on them.
“I received a letter recently from
a friend of mine in Washington ask
ing me jf I had submitted sketches
for a certain monument the govern- 1
ment is to have built. I replied I had
not been asked to. but I added that
I had received a letter from a tomb
stone maker asking me my price
upon certain work of a similar kind.
"That is now America gets her art
Contracting firms get the contract
and the honor. Starving artists do
the work. The government pays for
sculpturing thousands of dollars, of
which the sculptor gets a hundred or
so.
"Nowadays it is the fashion to
build monuments. We are building
them for anybody, everybody and
nobody. But there are no monu
ments built to those men who made
our country. I think It was foolish
to have built a monument to .the
Maine. The soldiers were asleep and ,
knew nothing.
"The Titanic would have b*»«n a
fitting subject for & monument. There
w© hive a great spectacle men show
ing the best that is in them, giving
those they heM dearest, their women
and children, to the care of the sea.
