NEW TORK. June . The Irregularity
and heaviness which have been the dis
tinguishing cfaturce of the local stock
market recently culminated today In an
avalanobe of liquidation In the first two
hours, greater than any witnessed for
many months, which carried prices of
Important Issues to lowest quotations
registered In a considerable period of
time.
The movement centered largely about
such representative stocks as Union Pa
cific Reading, Great Northern preferred,
Northern Pacific Lehigh Valley, United
States Steel, Amalgamated Copper and
American Smelting. Numerous other
stocks of less prominence also felt the
force of tho Impact, which resulted In
an overturn of 600,000 shares by noon.
Among the many economic and tech
nical causes which contributed In greater
or less degree to the retrograde move
ment may be cited the distrust engen
dered by the St Louis & San Francisco
railroad receivership, discouragement at
the apparent InablUty of the Union Pacific-Southern
Pacific roads to arrive at
a satisfactory solution of their troubles,
the recent liquidation In Canadian Pa
cific bespeaking extreme financial ten
sion across the northern border, and over
night dispatches from Washington Indi
cating that the administration Intends to
renew action against so-called trusts,
more particularly the tobacco Interests.
In this connection tobacco sharese. on
light dealings, declined from 6 to IT
points, the greatest loss being lncurrcde
by American Tobacco.
The decline was partly checked this
afternoon upon advices from Washington
that all reports respecting government
prosecution were premature as yet. Short
covering helped materially In further re
covery recorded in final dealings, but net
results showed an unusually large num.

of Forest by States
KANSAS CTTT, Juno 4. Planting and
maintaining of new forests by the state
was recommended as the only feasible so
lution of the problem Involving the rapid
decroose In the lumber supply In tho
United States by Captain John B. WhIK
addreislng the National Lumber Manu
facturers' convention here today. Captain
whit, is a. director of the National Lum
ber Manufacturers' association and past
president of tho Notional conservation
congress. "Conservation" was his subject.
"It Is safe to say," said Captain White,
"that in all questions relating to the for
ests and to tho timber Industry, whether
thrv concern tree cutting, tariff or taxes.
they should be judged and selected by-
end to tne nest inter oats oi conoervnuun.
"Who Bhall ulant lumber trees Tho
Tln.ntlne of fruit trees Is a commercial
business, as they mature to boar fruit
in from four to twelve years. Tho har
vest comes two score or more times dur
ing the life of some who plant. But wltn
lumber trees there Is only one crop In a
generation. As an Investment It Is not
attractive.
"The state pays do taxes, con get
money at a lower rate of interest and
can establish and maintain a uniform
system of forestry under the charge of

Charlie Pool of the Tecumseh Journal
Tribunal, was yesterday elected presi
dent of tho Nebraska State Press asso
ciation for the ensuing year. The election
was made by acclamation, as there Ib no
fight over this office In the association,
since the understood routine has been es
tablished of letting the vice president
ascend to the presidency at the end of the
term of his vice presidency.
H. A. Brainard of the Hebron Champion
was chosen vice president on the third
ballot. As the fight of the association
naturally falls to the vice presidency since
that means the presidency a year hence,
several men were on the floor soon after
the nominations for that place were de
clared In order. Five candidates were
nominated as follows: II. A. Brainard of
the Hebron Champion, Clark Perkins of
the Aurora Republican, Charles Ready of
the Hayes Center Republican, A. V. Scha
fer of the Alma Record, Don C. Van
Deusen of the Blair Pilot.
Vote for Vice Prealdrnt.
Will Maupln moved that If there be no
election on the first ballot In the event
that no candidate receive the majority of
all votes cast the two low men should
bo dropped for the next ballot. On the
first ballot the vote stood: Brainard 22,
Perkins 25, Ready 2, Schafer 4, Van Due
sen 4. The tie between Van Duesen and
Schafer made It possible to drop but one
candidate practically. By the time tho
second ballot was taken tho hall filled
up and the vote was much larger. It
stood: Brainard 32, Perkins 29, Schafer

Editors Decide
to Issue State
Boom Editions
A feature of the closing session of the
Nebraska State Press association was the
adoption of a resolution for the Issue
of state editions of Nebraska papers at
a given date, probably In the fall.. The
suggestion came from the publicity de
partment of the, Commercial club of
Omaha and will be fathered by the State
Association of Commercial clubs.
The plan Is to secu.ro the publication
at one time of matter of official char
acter bearing on the resources of Ne
braska. The country papers and all pub
lications identified with the state asso
ciation will co-operate.
Ross Hammond of Fremont, president
of the State Association of Commercial
club believes the plan a good one. "It
will result in the publication of much
valuable advertising for the state," said
Mr. Hammond last night.
"This will be printed at one time and
a combined effort will be made to send
It outside the state's borders. The out
come cannot help but be beneficial. It
will be one of the -greatest advertising
campaigns Nebraska Yxb had. The 163
commercial clubs in the association will
combine to aid In every possible way and
give the state's resources a wide field
of publicity."
Hungarian Cabinet
Resigns After a Row
BUDAPEST, Hungary, June 4. Scenes
of great disorder occurred when the Hun
garian premier, Dr. Ladlslaus Von Luk
acs, today announced the resignation of
the Hungarian cabinet at the opening
of the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies.
The premier determined to resign, owing
to the acquittal of Deputy Desocs In a
suit for criminal libel brought against
htm for accusing the premier of corrup
tion In connection with some contracts
with the Bank of Hungary.
A violent uproar arose when the premier
spoke today. Dr. Von Lukacs and Count
Tlsza, the speaker of the chamber, were
greeted with Insulting epithets. The
speaker was utterly unable to keep order,
the members banging the desks and
shouting to one another incessantly.
Count Tlsza then ordered the sitting to
be suspended and summoned the parlia
mentary police, who ejected somo of the
more disorderly deputies and persuaded
others to depsrt from the house. The
sitting was later formally adjourned.

PROMISES MADE BY THE BOARD

Would I)n Anything to Get
Fire Protection.
It was Just one durned thing after an
other for Commodore Howell nnd his
Omaha Water board all yesterday after
noon. Tho low and the high, tho rich and
the poor, came down in one conglom
erate horde to protest against tho water
commlisloner's plan of assessing prpp
erty to pay the cost of water main ex
tensions. In one room the Water board held a
meeting, all excited over tho demand of
Mayor Hoctor and the city council of
South Omaha for "fair play." The room
was crowded with property owners.
Across the hall In tho city council
chamber the city commission wrestled
with the nerve-racking problem of equal
ling the astonishing Inequalities of tho
Water board's assessments.
After promising Mayor Hoctor to look
after his proposition which Is that moro
fire hydrants are needed In South Omaha
and that the Water board, having ac
cepted money from South Omaha under
the contract made with the old company,
ought to live up to the other side of the
contract Mr, Howell went Into the city
council chamber, where they at once put
his on the rack.
No Ileneflt Received.
Edson Rich came first. He said he
owned a house and certain corner prop
erty at Thirty-fourth and Dodge streets
and that the Water board, defying all
the laws of Justice, had taxed him nearly
three times as much per front foot on hi a
lot than his neighbors', who were bene
fited. "I wasn't benefited," said Rich. "I
have had water In my house for ten
years. Thoy have assessed me $67 when
the assessment on the other lots range
from $23 to $25. How Is my lot benefited?
I get water from the main on Dodge
street. A a main on Thirty-fourth Is of
absolutely no benefit to me."
The council confessed Ignorance.
"Because of their peculiar locations the
the corner vlots ore more valuable," said
Howell. VThey .are-nsesaed on-both sides
for "paving."
Assistant City Attorney Lambert told
Rich he could conceive of the property
not being benefited by the water pipe
when It would have been by paving.
Harry Zlmman, representing twenty
Irate householders who had been assessed
various sums under the 60 cents per front
foot clause, opened fire.

CHICAGO, June 4. Jack Johnson, the
negro heavyweight champion, today was
sentenced to ono year and one day In
tho state penitentiary at Joliet and fined
$1,000 for violation of the Mann white
slave act
Sentence was pronounced on Johnson
after Federal Judge Carpenter had
denied a motion for a new trial made
by counsel for the negro. Johnson ob
tained two weeks' time In which t
prepare a writ of error, and the bonIs
for $30,000, on which he has been at
liberty since his conviction, was allowed
to stand,
Half a dozen deputy United States

about Johnson In anticipation of re
sistance when the prison sentence was
given, left the room when Judge Car
penter announced that the fighter could
continue at liberty.
Federal l'rn Crowded.
The sentence In th estate penitentiary
Is the result of a recent order from
Washington that ail persons convicted
In the federal court In this district should
be sent to the state prison, owing to the
crowded condition of the federal peniten
tiary at eLavonworth, Kan,
Johnson left the court room declaring
that he would not give up the fight for
liberty and that If the writ of error
were dented he would make further ap
peals. The arguments for a new trial came up
as a surprise late this afternoon. The
case had not been set previously and the
