New York, Aug. 17.—With a sharp upwnrd swing of 10 points In Union Pacific and 5 points In Southern Pacif ic today, leaders In the tremendous bull movement cleared all the way from 2100,000 to $3,000,000 each. Amid such excitement on the floor of the stock exchange as has been equal led only during the corner In Northern Pacific live years ago, E. H. Harriman. It was estimated, won $2,000,000 In two hours, while King Edward of England, who has 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 declara tion of the large dividend of 10 per cent on Union Pacific and 6 per cent on Southern Pacific. No sooner had the news of the divi dend spread throughout the financial district than orders to buy Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific flooded the market. Brokers rushed on to the floor of the exchange frantic to place their 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 sc rankle to buy, buy, buy. 8horts Flying to Cover. To add to the bullish sweep that sent the market soaring, the short Interest, as It Is called, made the wildest* fight 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, his New York repre sentative, and is one of the larges: holders of the securities. He cleared $25 a share on his Southern Pacific and $30 a share on his Union Pacific stock. Others who made profits were John W. Oates, James R. Keene, John D. Rockefeller. William Rockefeller, H. H. Rogers. James Stillman, Daniel Gug genheim, Harry Weill, Jacob Field and William Oliver and Jefferson M. Levy. The rise in the Union Pacific repre sented an Increase In the value of the capitalisation of $20,090,000, while that In Southern Pacific represented an In crease in value of $12,(TOO,000.

O “We are all praying for Mayor Wood ward. We had the children pray for him last night, and today, too.” says Mrs. J. R. Harwell, who, with her hus band, runs the “Memorial Orphanage*' at 52 and 54 McDaniel street. Mrs. Harwell was called upon by a Geor gian reporter Friday morning and gave out an exceptionally Interesting inter view as to the orphanage and the work ings of the devil through the city of ficials. Despite the order of \he mayor to the chief of police to break up any street meeting in which the children of the orphanage participated, Mrs. Harwell declared: “The Lord 'willing, I will be out on the streets with my children at 6 o'clock this afternoon." Mrs. Harwell and her bevy of little ones % will first appear In Decatur street near the Kimball House, and If the mayor's Instructions of Chief Jennings are carried out the children will be are carried out the children will be taken with all klndncqp and tenderness, back to the home by a squad of big, large- hearted polleempn. It Is claimed In two reports made by City Warden Thomas Evans, who mnde a thorough Investigation of the insti tution some days ago, and also In the report of Secretary Joseph Logan, bf the Associated Charities of Georgia, that the Institution is run on very slack lines, that the children ace not properly cared for, that they are drag ged out on the streets wnen they suould ATLANTA CRIPPLES Dominick Mullaney’s band adminis tered the second dose of a bitter mix ture to the Atlanta cripples Friday afternoon.

BRING CHILDREN^ ON STREE7S” “In no way am I against the Institution,’’ said Mayor Woodward Fri day morning when Interviewed on the subject of the “Memorial Orphan age.” “As long as the institution Is run In a proper manner I will do all I van for it. but they shall not bring those little tots out on the streets at night and use them to create sympathy, so that money may be niised for carrying on the orphanage. 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 least. It is only teaching them to be beggars and when they are turned out from the 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 they 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 and sent to one of the state institutions until proper disposition can be made.” Mayor Woodward states that ’Rev. John R. Gunn, superintendent of the Georgia Industrial Home at Macon, has offered to take care of the little ones.

The failure was not generally known until today, although Bank Examiner E "er had ordered the Inatltutlon to tea., hualneaa last night. Until before ! o'clock the examiner and officials of :, ie hank worked on the hooka. Preil- ient H B. Hinckley would not dlacusa h * failure nor would any officer* of tie bank. The news of the failure spread over •’teleea. People flocked to the hank "tildlng by scores and for a abort time the scene waa a wild one. One woman, partly clad and crying to get at the bank door, waa prevented by Patrolman Harrison, who tried to calm her. The woman said that all the money she had In 'the world was In the bank. Large crowds of men, workingmen of all types, who, ordinarily, would hava been on the way to work, lingered about the bank. Many Hebrews were In the crowd and gathered In groups by themselves, wildly discussing ths names of the officials of the bank and telling of their savings. The determination to close the bank’, doors was reported at a special meet ing of the directors last yesterday. The United States authorities left for Chelsea today. All the employees of the bank were called to the building last night. The exsmlner began his work and the ataches of the bank worked on the book* all night.

McDonald has been appointed chief engineer of the terminal compa ny and has arrjved to take charge of the work. He Is at the head of the engineering staff which Is ao busy In the Empire building. The freight depot of the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic and Sea board Air Line will be erected west of the Atlanta Terminal station. It will contain the freight offices of the com panies while two long warehouses In the pear will be used for handling In bound and outbound freights.

The terminal yards, local freight tracks and necessary buildings will cover the ground between Magnolia and-Nelson streets, practically all of which Is owned by the Gate City Ter minal Company. The strip Is about half a mite long and requires an enor mous amount of grading. The distrib uting yards will be located about two miles from the station near the Inter section of the Seaboard and Western and Atlantic roads. The terminal com pany will assume rontrol of all track age within this point. The contracting company will send a large force of men and a number of steam shovela to Atlanta within a short time and actual work will begin.
