SHARES REBOUND RAPIDLY New York, June 29.—The rapi with which stocks rebounded at today's open- ing with the more encouraging news from Mexico seemed to indicate an enormous over-extension of the short or bear ac- count, rather than actual investment in- quiry. The action of the Mexican authorities was recelved with rellef, although It was recognized that other important questions bearing upon the controversy remain un- settled. Initial recoveries embraced virtually all parts of the list, the Mexican group natur- ally showlng greatest improvement. Petroleum opened with a block of 8,000 shares at 100 to 101, a maximum recovery of exactly 10 points. Greene Cananea and American Smelting rose more than 3 points, d Southern Pacific, whose Interests are argely bound up in the situstion wcross the border, made a clear gain of 2 points. There was “wide” or excited openings at extreme advances of from 2 to 4 points in Reading, United States Steel, Marine pre- ferred and some of the other stocks which have contributed so largely to the trading of recent weeks. Motor shares rose 3 to 6% points and munitions 2 to § points, with average advances of 2 points for coppers and_affilated lssues, while unclassified stocks participated in variable but sub- stantial degree, This advantage was largely effaced be- fore midday, by which time the covering movement appeared to have spent ity force. Thereafter the market became in- creasingly dull and heavy, but conditions were suddenly reversed in the last half hour, when United States Steel again came d with the Marines, the latter belng ecial demand on reports that all obstacles toward the reorganization had been overcome. Stocks closed with a tone, except in United States In 1 Alcohol and other high priced where pressure was manifest. les of stocks amounted to 760,000 ements of rallway dian 29,000 Further brilllant earnings for May were submitted, C: Pacific leading with a net gain of §. while Erle showed a In of $761,000, Northern Pacific $600,000 and Southern Rallway $684,000, the latter representing an Increase of more than 51 per cent, The strength of Marine 4ls featured the frregular bond market.

L. Mohler, the big banquet of the Com- mercml club in honor of the retiring president of the Union Pacific was held at the club rooms Wednesday. Over 200 were present. Ellsworth Pryor, steward of the Commercial club, had been losing sleep in his ef- fort to outdo all his previous records in the matter of correct and tasty ap- pointments at the banquet. Recalls Former Banquet. Just ten years ago when the club welcomed President Mohler with a banquet in the old club rooms at Sixteenth and Farnam streets, Pryor had charge of the dinner. At that time diminutive trains ran on tiny rails round and round the great line of tables, furnishing an attractive spectacle. Last night, red, white and blue electric lights blazed from the center of the table in great rows that made a beautiful appearance. Nap- kins were folded as onc might have thought human hands could not fold them, until they described a perfect letter “M.” The caviar canape was decorated with a tiny red “M.” The initial of Mr. Mohler was kept con- stantly before the banqueters, and when the ice cream was served, be- hold: It came a deep chocolate, mold- ed in the form of perfect little loco- motives. But the dinner had no more than started when the wireless receivers began to roar. Dr. F. H: Millener had arranged his wireless receivers in the banquet room, bringing a wire down from the apparatus on the roof through a skylight: The telegrams of regret from invited men all over the country who were unable to be in Omaha at the banquet were re- ceived at Uunion Pacific headquarters and then relayed by wireless to the Commercial club rooms where the toastmaster, Ward Burgess, read them as fast as they were cqmmm:d to writing. Telegrams of regret came from John W. Hay of Rock Springs, Wyoming, from Alex Millar of New York, secretary of the Union Pacific road, from George W. Holdrege, gen- eral manager of the Burlington, and from C. J. Lane, general freight agent of the Union Pacific. Toastmaster Commends Mobhler. In his introductory talk Toast- master Ward Burgess said with re- gard to wireless development: Ten years ago Mr. Mohler decided that in addition to the block signals, more safety might be achieved by the use of wireless on the Unfon Pacific. In casting about for some one to do the work, he selected Dr. Millener. Experiments have been carried on during this time with more or less success with the wireless telegraph and telephone. For some months there has been installed on the Union Pacific headquarters a wireless station. Before the end of the week ome will be installed at Grand Island and com- munication maintainéd on trains between Omaha and Grand Island. It was Mr. Mohler's pet scheme to utllize a system of wireless telegraph for the protection of llves of passengers on moving trains. Like every other true railroad man, his thoughts were constantly on the alert devising further schemes by which .the accidents should be brought to a negligible minimum, “Tonight at the Union Station there is a special car equipped for wireless telegraph d telephone which will go to Grand Island tomorrow. A movable telegraph of- fico on land ofters the e results as a ship at sea. By the system to be used telegraphic or telephonic messages may be exchanged between stations and moving tralns or sent from one moving train to another. The patents covering this work are owned by Dr. Millenef and the Union Pacific. And the work has been done in Omaha and by Omaha men. Not a Farewell. W. S. Wright, W. F. Gurley, N. H. Loomis, H Ig Baldrige and Frank W. Judson were the speakers. “Do not get the idea that this is a farewell banquet,” said Mr. Wright. “This is but a commencement. Mr. Mohler is just now coming into his own. He has worked and toiled in the heat and the cold, he has had his trials and tribulations, and he is just now coming into the position where he can enjoy the fields and brooks He is going to be a real farmer.” Going farther, Mr. Wright said: “You may always depend upon the man who rises from the ramks. Some- one has said that you may be safe in buying stock in any company or cor- poration, if the men who have control of it have sense enough to choose a man from the ranks to take charge 1048 101% Ve ok 8 Rubb!r 68102 selling at and manage it.” Personality in System. W. F. Gurley said that when Mr. Mohler came to Omaha he impressed the power of his personality into the arteries of the community and that his influence for development here had % |been wonderful. “It is in Wall street,” he said, “where the money is centered which makes iossible the great enter- prises; but when the plans are once ready and the money is invested, they search the mountain and plain for the man to execute the ;flan He quoted Lord Lytton as saying, “There is in genius ever something of the boy,” and declared that this was to a re- markable degree true of Mr. Mohler. Mr. Gurley closed with a little jingling toast he stole from Eugene Field's tribute to Charles A. Dana, only he paraphrased it to fit the occasion: Bless you, Mr., Mohler, may you live a thousand years To sort of keep things lively in this vale of human tears; And muy we live a thousand, too—a thou- sand, less a day— For we shouldn’t wish to be on earth to hear you'd passed away. Could Handle Men. N. H. Loomis praised Mr. Mohler's diplomatic and kindly treatment of all the men under him. “He retained the sxmplnmy of the boy in many re- spects,” said Mr. Loomis. “He ar\vays treated all his employes with the greatest courtesy. They reciprocated his feeling with all the affection their nature possessed.” H. H. Baldrige, as a member of the; committee on arrangements, said a few words, stating that the Union Pa- cific did Omaha a great favor when it gave us Mr. Moehler. Frank W. Judson, also a member of the commit- tee, said no man had more love for al Omaha than did the late Mr. Harri- man, and that nowhere was that more Mohler’s Response. Mr. Mohler, in response, reviewed hastily his pleasant relations with the people of Omaha in the twelve years and a quarter he has been in the city, and said in part: When I came to this city there was less harmony between the business and rail- road interests than there is today. In fact, you have so solidified your various organiza tions that you are a power and your in- fluence fs felt, and it is certainly vividly represented In the character of the struc- tures of your city, which has changed from a city of more or less indifference to one of first class standing_ And it stands a show in the future of having a population of 500.- 000 bacause there is a vast territory in this state which les west of you without any important near competitors. Fou may be interested in knowing what has been accomplished on the Unlon Pacific proper. As a matter of information, since I have been connected with this company we have spent in the way of operating ex- penses, for material and labor $32,000,000; for taxes, $20,000,000, and have spent $87,- 000,000 in double track, depots, sidetracks, ballasting, equipment, etc, making a total of $487,000,000. And in the matter of equipment we have been thoroughly alive to the modern de- mands and average well in the matter of steel passenger cars with all other roads. The double track when I came here repre- sented practically 100 miles. The double track and its equivalent today represents 926 miles. In addition there is now under construction in Utah sixteen miles of double track which will be completed this year, costing over $3,000,000. Our gross operating revenue represents $581,000,000. Whilq these earnings are large, the sudden things that happen on a railroad —sauch as crop failures, severe washouts, wrecks, curtallment of crops and legislation —make it necessary for every rallroad com- pany to have some balance on hand to weather the storm. The Payroll in Omaha. For your information, and which you are very much interested In, the number of employes who received their pay in Umaha in April, 1916, & light month, was 4,684, and the Omaha payroll is $4,500,000 per annum. This shows the value of the Unlon Pacific to yo eity. As representative of the large number of men which the Union Pacific employs on its lne, 1 take pleasure in stating that May represents 23,605 employes and a payroll for the month of $1,803,968. Thia is a large dis- tribution of money to make along the Unifon Pacific line, and s helpful in numer- as the Union Paclfic since my with it never defaulted upon its payroll, but has always pald its men promptly, so that the merchants and others could always depend upon the employes liquidating thelr indebtedness at the proper time. Heavler Steel in Future, ..The Unfon Pacific has decided that mext year we will lay nothing but 100-pound rails between Omahd and Ogden. This will make 8 property that it will be hard to surpass in the wes shown than when he gave us Mr. Mohler. Lobeck and Piatti Urge Labor Bureau Put in Branch Here (From a Staff Correspondent.) Washington, June 29.—(Special Telegram,)-—Representative Lobeck and L. J. Piatti of Omaha made out a strong case today with Secretary of Labor ‘Wilson in behalf of the estab- lishment of a branch bureau of immi- gration in Omaha. They showed the secretary that the cost of maintaining an office of the department in Omaha, for that is what it amounts to, would go far toward supporting a branch of the department outright in that city. Incidentally it was suggested that Omaha was advantageously situated for the location of one of the arbitrat- ors of labor conditions. Mr. and Mrs. Piatti and daughter left tonight for New York. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Roberts of Lincoln are in Washington, enroute to their home, after a visit in New England and New York. U. S. Demands Not Referred To in Mexico City Message El Paso, Tex., June 29.—A message received today from the official bu- reau of information at Mexico City by the Mexican consulate makes no mention of President Wilson's latest demands and speaks of the situation in a hopeful tone. Diplomatic correspondence between the constitutionalist government and the Spanish-American states, request- ing aid in prcvcntmg mterven!v\n has been published in full in the Mex- ican papers. J. J. HilP’s Son-in-Law Goes To Viadivostok for Czar Seattle, Wash., June 29.—Samuel Hill of this city, millionaire son-in- law of the late James J. Hill, and noted as a railroad executive and road builder, has gone to Vladivostok at the request of the Russian gov- ernment to take charge of the traffic department of the trans-Siberian rail- way, in order to facilitate the move- ment of war supplies, according to an article which the Seattle Post-In- telligencer will publish tomorrow. Coffee Market. New York, June 20.—The market for cof- fee futures showed a steadler tone today The opening was unchanged to 2 goints lower under a little further liquidation in- spired by the easier ruling of Brazil late yesterday, but offerings were light, and prices soon rallled on covering or scattered buying for a reaction. The better tone of the stock market and a more optimistic view of Mexican affairs may have promot- ed the demand, while smaller receipts at the Brazillan ports yesterday also attracted some attention on the rally from $7.90 to $7.96 for December and from $5.07 to $8.12 for March. The market closed at a net advance of 3 to 7 points. Sales 18,750 bags, June $7.67; July $7.67; August'$7.74; Sep- tember $7.81; October $7.85: November $7.90; December $7.95; January $8.01; Feb- ruary §8.06; March $8.12; April §8.16; May $8.21.

Bank Clearings. Oriaha, June 29.—Bank clearings - for Omaha today were $3,432,423.47 and for the corresponding day last year $3,132,179.63.
