Amid ruch excitement on the floor of the stock exchange as has been equal led only during the corner In Northern Pacific live years ago, K H. Harriman, It was estimated, wort $2,000,000 '.n two hours, while King Kdward of England, who hue been buying these securities through his New York representative, profited to almost the same amount. The rise in the two railroad stocks followed Immediately upon the declaim Mon of the largr dividend of 10 per cent on Union Pacific and {5 per cent <>n Southern Pacific. No sooner had the news of the dlvl .’end Hpreaa throughout the financial district than orders to bu> Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific flooded the *narkct. Brokers rushed on to the floor of the exchange frantic to place (heir commission. In the first moments after the an nouncement of the dividends, the price of the stock jumped so swiftly that the tickers were unable to keep up with the changes. In the fractions of min utes the stock shot up the same frac tions. It was a scramble to buy, buy, bay. Shorts Flying to Cover. To add to the bullish sweep that sent the market soaring, the short Interest, us it la called, made the wildest light of all to buy stocks so that they might cover the sales. It was known that E. H. Harriman was a big holder of both Southern and Union Pacific. Of the former it was stated, that he had acquired 200,000 shares. King Edward bought through Sir Ernest Cassell, hls New York repre sentative, and Is one of the largest .adder* of the securities. * He cleared $25 a share on hls Southern Pacific and $80 a share on Ills Union Pacific took.

If they need money, Mr. and Mrs. Harwell, or whoever is at the head of the institution, should raise it, not the chil dren. “Bringing the children out on the streets is not benefiting them In the tenet. It Is only teaching them to be beggars and when they are turned out from tho Institution they will know nothing else. Then, I un derstand, there are some girls getting along In their teens. They should not be allowed to be brought out on the streets In this manner. It Is for the children that I have told the police to break up the meeting and not because of any desire to Injure the Institution.” When asked what would be done with the children If thay were again brought out, Mayor Woodward said: •They will be taken back to the institution, and, if this does not stop the practice, I will have them taken before the recorder uml seat^o .m* -f «uMtHHi»t*te institutions tnSUl proper disposition can be made” Mayor Woodward states'that Rev.
