FINANCE STOCKS SHOW WEAKNESS IN ALL PARTS OF TBE LIST Resumption of Trading After Double Holiday Is Marked By Declines Ranging From One to Two Points In the Important Issues B\t Associated Press. New York, Feb. 23.—(Wa1l Street) —Resumption of trading in stocks aft er the double holiday was characterized by greater weakness in all parts of the list, the local market taking its cue from London, where international issues were lower. Declines ranigcd from 1 to 2 points in important stocks, U. 8. Steel showing more steadiucsa than any of the speculative favorites. American Car ami Sea Board Air bine, pfd., fell to their new minimum and ,Baltimore and Ohio and New Haven were within fractions. Miscellaneous shares also weakened. The selling which came largely from interior sources and represented an ac cumulation of orders over the holiday, ceased toward the end of the first hour, stocks recovering a surtwtaiitia] part of their losses. Toward midday however, liquidation was resumed in more mod erate volume, some prices going umler their early declines with Baltimore and Ohio and Southern Railway, jrfd., touch ing their minimum. Foreign conditions continued to exercise a decidedly ad verse influence investors showing no in clination to make purchases in the tonse situation now prevailing. Ex change on London and the continental market was weaker. Bonds were under pressure, with further selling for Euro pean account.

But Aceop evidently thought otherwise when he wrote his /able of the sour grapes, and there is plenty of testimony that Aesop was right.

Instead of 5U Per Cent. As the Amount of Wages an In jured Employe Shall Receive While the text of the wrokmcn's com pensation bill, w'hich shortly will be introduced in the Legislature as the Brumbaugh administration measure will not 'be niado public until near the end of the week, it is learned that the 50 per cent, schedule clause to which Sam uel Oompem, president of the American Federation of Labor, is opposed, is in corporated. Attorney General Brown said yester day in Philadelphia that fhe printed copies of the measure, wihich are to be spread broadcast throughout the State, have not yet come from the printer, and that it will not be possible to begin thear distribution until next Thursday or IFriday. The bill, in its present form, wfoile complete in detail, is tentative in that it as still open to suggestions that may impress its backers favorably. The schedule of compensation to which Uompers objects provides that in the event of a working man being injured he shall receive compensation at the rate of 50 per cent, of his wages for a period not to exceed 400 weeks. Uontpers, it is understood, wants the rate raised to 65 per cent, and will re quest a hearing before the legislative committee which handles the bill. Attorney General Brown, in adopting the 50 per cent, rate, which was that proposed by the industrial accidents commission, amended it so that in no case rfhall an injured employe, no mat ter what his wage, get less less t/han $5 a week nor more than $lO a week. In Uie case of a dependent family of an employe Who has been killed, additional payments are provided. Upon the copies of the bill distributed for the informa tion of interested persons will be a no tice requesting What suggestions be for warded directly to Governor Brum baugh. TO FIGHT FORMAL TAX LAW Administration Will Oppose Repeal of Revenue Measure But Seek to Re move Doubt of Constitutionality The introduction in the House ef a bill to repeal the law placing a tax on anthracite coal for State purposes is to bo fought by the State administration, aud Governor Brumbaugh has already expressed his opposition to this repealer in view of the uncertainty of State revenues. Attorney General Brown is preparing a new bill for early presentation Whioh 1 is intended to remove the issue of con stitutionality now being tested in the Dauphin county court, the argument having t>ean made and a decision from tho Court in process of preparation. The 1913 'bill provided for a special tax oil all anthracite coal, half of the revenue to go to the State and the other 'half to the nine counties in which an thracite coal is mined. The State's in come from this source was estimated at $4,000,000. The effect of the legis lation, 'however, "has been that the State has tbeen unaible to collect any of this income so far on account of litigation over tho act, while the dealers, to es cape paying the tax, have placed the burden in advance on the consumers by riming coal prices. Mr, Brown contends that the 1913 act is constitutional, but is preparing a new bill to overcome the technical ques tions whic'h are stated to be at issue in the present litigation. In the now bill, as in the old, it will be provided that t'he counties of Luzerne, Lackawanna, Schuylkill, Columbia, Carbon, Northum berland, Sullivan and Susquehanna share oquallv wiWi the State in the in come thus obtained.

FIVE KILLED AS ZEPPELIN DROPS EXPLODING BOMBS IN FLYING OVER CALAIS Calais, via Paris, Feb. 23, 1.55 A. M. —Warning of the approach of the Zep pelin which 'bombarded this city yester day morning rwas given the sentries by the throbbing of fhe engine as it ap proached rapidly fro hi the scat at a 'height of aibout 1,000 feet. The airship flew straight across the city toward the Fofftinette station, dropping no <boirfbs on the way. The first inißsile fell when the Zep pelin was above the point where the railroad tracks intercept. It went through the footbridge and struck the track, leading to Dunkirk. The airektp then rose somewhat higher in the air and dropped five bombs in raipid suc cession. All fell in the vicinity of the railroad. One burst in the court yard of houses close to the grade crossing, de molishing a ifted and breaking win dows. The occupants of the houses, ~ awakened toy the explosion, escaped without injury. Victims Burled In Ruins Other bombs fell in the garden and on the roof of a little 'house in the Rue Dognien. Am old man and a little girl asleep in the garret and the fajnily which occupied the cottage on the ground floor, consisting of the father, mother and two dhildren, were buried in t'he ruins. All were killed except one child, a bafby five months old, which was taken from the twisted mass of brick and plaster. The front of tihe house was cut off as cleanly as though it had been done ■by a gigantic knife. The violence of the explosion shook the neighboring houses to their founda tions and broke ail the windows within a wide radius. After dropping the bombs the Zeppelin disappeared rap- ; idly over the sea. It evidently was manned by pilots acquainted with the locality since at came from the sea di rectly to Fontinette, crossing the city at the point of its greatest width. A' long German pennant attached to a ' sack containing sand was found on the roof of a house near one of those de molished and banded over to the mili- ' tary governor.
