FIRST CALLED TURF FIRMS FRAUDULENT Sever and Then Acts for eerns Advamcing Reasons for Allowing Them Privileges. Connection with Government WASHINGTON, March 15—It fs an- | nounced that Mr. James N. Tynor, assistant | agent for the Postoffice department, will | be required in the near future to tender his resignation. The announcement s however, accompanied with the statement that this action has no bearing on the com- | plaint filed with the president by T. C. Campbell of Cincinnati, an attorney repre- senting several of the turf concerns whose | affairs recently have been aired in the courts. Mr. Tynor s Incapacitated by ill- | ness from performing the duties of his office, and it is said his resignation will be | requested eolely on that account. Mr. Ty-| nor is 77 years of age, and suffered a stroke of paralysis last July, and in December had a relap He denounccs as absurd and ridiculous | the charges that there was wrgngdoing | in connection with decisions by his office | respecting the right of turf investment | companles to use the mails. The matter, he sald, was taken up in the report of an inspector and disposed of as hundreds of other cakes are. No evidence was submit- ted with the inspector's reports, showing that the firms were either lotterles or fraude, and under the law the department bad no right to interfere Tyner Mnkes Admiksions, Mr. Tyner admitted yesterday that Har- rison J. Barrett, his nephew by marriage and formerly his assistant in the law di- vision in the Postoffice department, against whom chiarges had been filed, had replied s an attorney for one of the turf invest- ment concerns, but sald it was after Bar- rett had severed his connection with the department, Barrett had rendered legal | services to a number of the “Bond In- | vestment companies” as to the legality of which he had written an official opinion while still in the Postoffice department Thic service also was rendered after Bar- rott had left the department. The opinion prepared by Barrett declared that the bond concerns as organized were in violation of law and not entitled to mail | privileges, but to the opinion was at‘ached | an appendix stating that by certain changes | In their bylaws ‘and in the wording of their literature they could be admitted to the | use of the mails. The appendix, Mr. Tynor sald, was not written by Barrett, but by Postmaster Gen- | eral Smith. The department hud official knowledge of more than 500 of these concerns, and the capital involved was estimated at $50,000,- | 900. It was the opinion of Mr. Smith and | other offieials of the department that the business should mot be crushed out if it | could be made legal, and such an eminent | lawyer as John G.

Johnson of the District of Columbla, who | sirce 1886 ‘has been United States consul | at Venice, Italy. At the time the officers of the cruiser Chicago went ashore last summer and became involved with the Ital- fan authorities Mr. Johnson was criticized in some quarters for his action in the mat- ter, but it is not known whether this has anything to do with his supercession.

YOUNG IS A GOOD SALESMAN Sells a Quantity of Furnl bat There Is Trouble Over Tutle, re, H. C. Young, alias Fraik Culver, also using the name of Wildon, who was ar- rested in Sioux City Saturday on informa- tion from the Omaha department, was brought to this city last night by Detective Donahoe. He was booked as a suspicious character last night, but will probably be tried for obtaining money under false pre- tenses. Young is said to have sold the fur- niture in a house at 708 South Eighteenth street, of which he was not the owner. The house, which has been used as a room- | ing establishment, has been the cause of | considerable litigation. Young, it is said, knew the conditions surrounding the prop- erty and by way of turning it to his own advantage inserted an advertisement in the papers offering the furniture for sale. He used the name Wilson and asked purchasers | at the Thurston hotel, where he lodging. His advertisement was an- a not too worldly wise woman, who needed some furniture and scented a bargain. Young took her to the house, it | Is said, and showing her the goods, took ber into a room which was occupled, by an old woman who was deaf. Sitting there he gave the intending purchaser his idea of a just purchase price and threw in a few anecdotes as to where and when he ac- quired the various articles. The woman who could not haar, smiled politely at all this and of course did not deny any of his | statements. The purchaser was pleased and, so she later informed Chiet Donahue, | pald $150, with the balance to come with the possession of the furuiture. The day following the deal she visited the house to examine her property, and was told its true Young dis- appeared atter the deal, but was located in Sioux City, SANTA FE READY TO EXTEND was all Roads as Prep. Construction of Coast Line. SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.—Paul Mor- ton, vice president of the Santa Fe, who arrived from Santa Barbara yesterday, speaking of the recent purchase by the Santa Fe of the Bureka & Eel River road and its extensions in Humboldt county, said The company has bought those roads with a view of using them as a nucleus for a coast line at some future date. It is not true, however, that the Santa Fe has pur: chaged the California Northwestern road. There will be a_time, and it Is not far off, when the Santa Fe wiil find it necessary t3 extend its lines to the north to meet the requirements of business. There is a grani lot of tlmber in that particular section of Callfornia, and there is a great demand for the materlal at the eastern end of our road, oonsequently we have good reasons for avalling ourselves of the supply and meet'ng the demand. Mr. Morton admitted that a syndicate had made the purchaee for the company and haa been acquiring large timber tracts on the coast side of California. Among those in the syndicate are Mr. Chency, one of the directors of the road, and several close friends of tac Santa Fe company Asked 1f (icre were any orospects of the Santa Fo entering Sacramenty and Taa Jese In the near future Ms. Morion ans- wered Well, I cannot say as to the nea~ futue, but I am satisfied that we will eventually connect with those cit'es.

Woman's Fancy Waist, Closed in Back, 4263—Fancy waists that give a drooping, long-shouldered effect are among the not- able features of the season and are essen- tially smart. This pretty and stylish model has the advantage of suiting the cos- tume and the odd waist equally well, but as shown is designed for theater wear with a contrasting skirt, and 1s made of pastel pink louisine satin, with yoke and.cuffs of tucked mousselin and trimming of deep cream-colored lace. The lining is carefully cut and fitted and closes with the waist at the cemter back. The walst itself consists of front and backs which are laid in narrow tucks, and the yoke that falls over their edges. The tucks at the back extend for its full length and so give the desired tapering effect, | but those at the front exterd for a few | inches only and are left free to form grace- | ful fullness over the bust. The sleeves, in Hungarian style, are tucked to fit the arms closely at their upper portions, while they form soft, full puffs over the elbows, the lower edges being gathered Into the pointed cuffs. with the smart strap extension at the front, and at the waist is a narrow belt, Lo which is attached the postillion plaited in Jabot style.

Liquida- tion has been severe, and in some cases in- tensified by personal differences; but the | declines were chiefly due to exhaustion ot money supplies through the locking up of large sums in financial operations, which would recelve scant consi:eration If pre- sented now in their ariginal form. Although the situation has been greatly Improved by the herolc treatment of the ‘ast few months, and the credit situation is much stronger thaa a year ago, it would be pre- mature to assume that the turn has come It Is practically certain there will be no re- lef for the money market until the funds required for April settlements find their way back again to the banks, and this is a matter of several weeks. The west Is rapldly galning In its power over the money market, and this year its regular re quirements are unusualiy heavy owing to the large volume of business. A great jand speculation is In progress in the west and p ‘new properties on which large pay- ments must-be made on April 1 according to custom. It fs quite possible, therefore. that the return movement of currency ma. be not only backward, Hut emaller than usual, thus preventing low rates of inter- est here for some little time ahead. No Onuse for Worry. A good deal of unnecssary concern has been excited by the ;lrusxv(‘('fl\'@ payment of $0,000,000 to France for the Panama canal in all probabllity that payment v i1l not be made before ‘midsummer, and the full amount, including the $10,000,00 to Colom- ibfa, wiil most Ilkely be paid out of the treasury without touching the government depcsits held by the banks. The treasury now holds $71,00,000 in .ddition to the amount deposited in banks, ‘and judging by the heavy customs receipts, which promiss to continue, that sum will be very consider- ably augmented before the canal payment becomes due. This transaction when co pleted will, - therefore, contribute (o es rather than make stringency in the money market. While in the treasury this $10,000,- 000 or $0,000,000 w'll be unavailable, when released it will probably go to the Parls banks and there eventually reach the inoney market, or if interest rates were high the owners might find it more profit- able to temporarily use the funds in this market. In any case the transaction is likely to make little or no_disturbance in this’ market,"and the exchange required will_probably be provided well in advance, | Such” operations are always discounted by | shrewd bankers, who for the smail profit n wheels_agalnst extreme movements. The only unpleasant feature in this connection is the steady absorption treasury fhrough customs recelpts; but this movement fs in no sense due to the canal payment. Some improvement in the monetary situation ought to take place after the middle of April, yet loanable funds are likely to continue more or less least, besides, the requirements for strengthening trust company reserves must not be overlooked. Credit is In better shap than for mahy montha, thougt no means out of danger in this respect. Shrinkages in Stocks. Prices of securities are now considerably below the high level of 1902.

The industrials, in many instances, have made more serfous declin but thesé are less satisfactory indicator than the more substantial railroad proper- ties. In the face of such heavy liquidation it Would seem hazardous to calculate upon much lower prices, so long as business con- tinues at its present volume. Production in all lines of Industry is steadily increas- ng, and thus far has not caught up with onsumption; the only cerlous menace to continued actlvity being the probability of renewed labor agitation during the coming spring. Many of the large operators are still ubsent from the city, and no import- ant developments in financial circlis are expected until their return. A conservative fecling is prevalent among bankers, and in some quarters there s a bellef that' further liquidation i¢ needed to bring the market into a really healthy condition Such aif- ferences of opinion favor activity In stocks and sharp fluctuations. On the recent de. clines there was excellent investment b ing of good securities at bottom figur which promises well for the future; but the railies which followed were due more to short covering than to purchases on the long side. There are still too many uncer- talnties to warrant a sudden reviyal of confidence to justify any enthusiastic at- tempt to create a buoyant bull market at the present time. But hereafter it will be an excellent trading market to buy on the ralds for quick turns. Foreign Financlal. LONDON, March 15.—The stock market opéned with an uncomfortable feeling last week and prices continued irregular until the close yesterday, when there were some evidences " of strengthening. Wall street held the center of the stage and reports re- garding the financlal situation there caused prehension and a rush to reallze, but the later reassuring reports brought d re- turn of confidence and prices recovered slightly, although almost all the American lists showed a decline. This flurry affected the whole market and attested to the ex- tent'of Wall street's influence on the stock market here. One of the features of the week was the fact that the consols re- ceded to a lower point than they had reached since 1870. This fall was due mainly to the continued lightness of money and the approaching reduction in their in- terest. There was not much doing in other directions, investors playing a waitin game, Mexicans and Certral and Sout | Amerlcans showed a decided Improvement | and South Africans were also regarded more favorably. Copper shares aroused a | short-lived interest because of the advance in the price of the metal, but the later de- cline in the price sent tintos back sharply, BERLIN, March 15.—All the weekly finan’ cful reviews point out the intense interest { of the bourse here last week in the finan- clal, sltuation In New York.

For the week supplies have been fairly Iltberal, as there Is a slight gain over the corresponding week of last year, but as compared with last week there is a sifght falling off. The beef sieer market th rather uneven. On Mond and Tuesday the tendency of prices was downward, but j ort Wednesday and Thursday prices ad- vanced, while on Friday the market was rather weak again.

The cow market has also fluctuated back und forth to some extent, but still the changes from day to day have not been quite as great as was the case with steers, Tr;dlng was fairly active on most days and thd prices paid yesterday were very much the same as those in force the close of last week. Lanners are selling largely from $2.00 to $2.75, failr to good cows from £ to A0, cnd #ood to choice from $.50 to $4.25. Bulls have sold to better advantage this ‘week than last, and Erlcu are, if anything, @ little higher. As high as $.00 has been pald for good fat bulls. Veal calves are also a ilttle higher, as $6.25 was the top last, week, while $6.50 is the best price this week. The demand for stockers and feeders has been brisk all the week and In excess of the supply. As a result trading was active every day and® the tendency of prices ug‘; ward. The better lrndel are fully 10@1 higher than a week ago, and in extreme cases the advance looks even greater than that. Cholce feeders may be quoted from $4.25 to $4.60, fair to good from $3.75 to $4.25, and the common grades from $3.00 to $3.75.
