RALLY NEAR END OF SESSION alnea Advance on ")!( by shorts, bat It Iw Is ot Held Money Is Firmer Recaase of Demand from Trast Companies. NEW YORK. Jan. 29 The narrow pro fessional dimensions of the current sunk market were demonstrated In the limita tion of the price movement. The slmrt Interest built un In the course of yester- v s tsnsrp decline and its moderate ex tension esrly todav was sufficient to bring about a rallv before the day was over, which was, however, poorly held. Tho character of the market was not rtaily changed. The abundance of money, however, seems without stimulat ing effect on the demand for securities nd the market fell Into a aeml-slHgnauv condition after the needs of the shorts were supplied. Various degrees of dissit Isfaction were felt and reflected In the truxlif lention of valus or the recom mendation of senate Judiciary committee at washtnaon against protoHed changes in he Sherman anti-trust law and with the nnounccment of the coming oral ex mlnallon of stock exchange officials by he Hughes committee to suggest changes In laws. The Impression was conveyed that refotm will be attempted through this ommlttee s recommendation of some features of stock market procedure, which may prove embarrassing to speculative operations. December net earninas of railroads showed gratifying improvement in net earnings over those of the depressed period tho preceding years.. A noticeable. feature of the iHKember returns as they Increase, Is that where gross earnings have begun to show growth over last year's low level the cut In operating cist is not made so drastic aa In earlier months and ven. In some cases. Is substantially ex- ponded over December of last year. The principal Item of the monthly money mar- et settlement now due will be the addi tion to trust company reserves for Feb- uary 1. A slightly firmer tone In the call money market todav mar have been due to preparation for thia. Money Iihh flowed lo New York In large volume from the Interior again this week, but withdrawal of government deposits and exports of gold have made the subtreasury a gainer from the banks on tlte weeks exchanges.

But when it Is stated by a prominent rallwray offleer that vagrants cost the American railways at least $25, 000,000 a yeaf1 because of their depredations. the matter looks more serious. A isew York charity organisation officer has re cently received from a half hundred rail roads In the United Btates the latest word regarding vagrancy, on their lines. W. H. Canntff, president of the New Tork, Chicago & St. Iifruls railroad, states that on one occasion during June, 103 men were ejected from one of the freight trains of the company In e. Journey of 132 miles. J. B. CThllds, general manager of the New York, Ontario At Western, ssys that there are probably 60 per cent more vagrants passing over the lino than a year akgo. Typical depredations of these vatrranta are hold-ups and breaking Into cars and sta tions. The Norfolk ft Western reports. through Its president, that the Increase In vagrancy over a year ago Is 25 per cent. a fact particularly noticeable in the In creased robbery of ears. "We have had," reports the president, "Instances of brako men and conductors being killed or as saulted in attempting to eject trespassers, and not all of these trespassers are vag rants and without means." George B. Blade, general manager of the Northern Pacific, reports that the line Is more troubled with vagrants this year than ever before. They pilfer cars, set tires along the right-of-way, build fires Inside the cars, use the company's shanties, ter rorise the occupants of section houses and commit the various usual depradattona. The . Pennsylvania railroad, reporting through Its president, shows that it Is thoroughly stirred up by the tramp nuls ance, and during April, May and June, 1908, made 3,100 Arrests, aa against 1.074 arrests for August, September and October, 1907, In some of the eastern states there is a plague of yegg-men committing petty thefts breaking Into stores, robbing farm houses and In general committing various kinds of lawlessness. These "yeggs" are accus tomed to travel on freight trains. For tunately for a woman who had been threat ened by a vagrant In Camden. N. J., re cently, her husband wss at home and gave the beggar a sound thrashing. 'When such things happen the police often make 'round-up," which, because spasmodic and because the vagrants are frequently let off with a suspended sentence, has little effect A New Yorker Interested in the tramp question, who for a year has gathered from all over the United Btates clippings relat ing to vsgrsncy, ssys that the most strik ing thing about the clippings is the entire absence of p'sns anywhere for treating the question ot vagrancy systematically. He also states that far too frequently there come to his attention reports of most atro cious assaults upon women and children, these brutal crimes being possibly because of the continued Indifference displayed by most communities toward an systematic plan for reducing vagrancy.

Bright and Dnrk Sides of the Battle) for Honesty In San Fran-rlseo. HOGS Up until noon less than 2,500 hogs had been reported In the yards, and at that time It was uncertain whether any more would get In In tlrnei for today's market. Under the circumstances packers were not disposed to take hold sndl do much business, ss there waa hardly encaigh hogs on sale to make a killing for one house. The result was that what few hoga sold went to shippers and speculators st prices strong to be higher than yester day. However, nothing had been dons up until a late hour. SHEEP Receipts of sheep this morning consisted of only twelve loads, of which nine rars were feeders bought to arrive at $440, the sme price that the same stuff brought yesterday. Some ewes sold st $4.76. a good strong price, and a small bunch of Iambi sold at $7.26, a good strong price. There was a good demand from all the packers on account of the change In the weather, and had there been anything at all desirable here the market would undoubtedly have been quite a little stronger, as the depression this week baa been due entirely to the unseasonably warm weatiier. Up until yesterdsy there had been a decline of liijICc for the week, but. with today's advance, a good share of this decline was regained and r losing prices pre not so very much lower than a week ago.

The public s.tvlce board cf New York City has given out details of a new plan which Is Intended to do awsy with car fenders. The inventor, who lives In Can ton, O., ssys that compressed air may be used to blow persons off ths track when they fall In front of A car. He adds that If (he plan Is adopted It will do away en tirely with fenders and wheel guards. The Inventor, whose name was not given, heard of the fender and whel guard tests mhlch were conducted by the public service commissioners of this stste recently in Sclenectady and In Pittsburg to determine the most efficient safety device of this sort. Then he wrote to the commission, say. Ing: "With my arrangement the contact with the moving ear is avoided. The motor man, seeing the person In danger, strikes a push button with his foot or finger, and a blast of compressed sir blows the p-rson off snd to the outside of the trscks. The valve ts operated by electric action. It Is a fact that a blast of air with pressure enough to remove a person win not necessarily Injure the person. There is not much ap paratus to this, and I think it would be as cheap at first cost, fsr mere durable, and not at all so liable to get out of order ss the average fenders In use. The air brakes may be operated from the same tank. The tank should be large enough for at least one good blast and to carry 150 pounds pressure, as th's high pressure Is the most reliable." New York Press. Wallace Irwin said the other day that It was the fate of the San Francisco graft probecution to have a romantic veil thrown around all the events in connec tion with It. The mystery about the death of Chief of Police Blggy has not been dispelled. Why this big, full-blooded man, at the height of official power In his avoca tion, should have slipped to his death, over the atern of a launch Into San Fran cisco bay no one knows. The romantic and yet the most conceivable explanation Is that he crossed tha bay to take or ders" from the anti-prosecution ring. In connection with the successful effort to conreal how Haas, Heney's would-be as sassin, got a pistol for his Jail suicide. Blgay was appointed as a reform chief, and it Is supposed that the gang's "or ders" In this direction simply proved too much for his sense of decency and per sonal honor, and made him drown himself as ths easiest wsy out of sn unbearable position. The police commissioners have just a p. pointed Blggy's successor. Under pres sure brought by Mayor Taylor, the poeW scholar-lawyer head of San Francisco, the commissioners with picturesque un expectedness raised the department prop erty clerk to the position of supreme command. This wss dons only after a mist aggressive fight by the prosecution pres.-i, as the mayor hsd determined to keep his hands off and the commission ers had made up their minds to appoint an Instrument of the machine. Jess Cook, the new chief, receives the tenta tive approval of rlpreckles and Older, as his record for' honesty and efficiency ta good and ha never has been associated with the Schmltz-Ruef grafters. For the prosecution the nest thing la sight Is the actual trial of some of ths "higher ups." Ruef may use legal de lays to keep himself out of prison for a, period estimated at three years longer, but with his conviction and fourteen year sentence actually on the records, the) way Is clear for other convictions. Where the fight will lead and where tt will rcme out not even a San Franciscan, can asy. Other American cities can but watch and Interpret events for them selves rejoicing in the successes of ths enemies of corruption and grieving At their disheartening setbacks.
