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.

Are Foxes Vegetarians?
Foxes are not generally accredited
with vegetarian instincts. You never
Bee tbfcir tracks, as you see those of
rabbits, around a young oak tree shoot
which has been nibbled down to the
tough stem. But Aceop evidently
thought otherwise when he wrote his
/able of the sour grapes, and there is
plenty of testimony that Aesop was
right. Foxe« do eat wild graipee, as
many observers have testified, climb- 1
ing a considerable waiy to get them,
and probably all times they oat berries
and perhaps apipieo. I have found their
tracks, at any rate, beneath apple
trees. T have alio been confidently as
sured that they eat the persimmons in
Virginia, that the " ol' hioun' dawgu"
know haw good this fruit is, too, and if
you wish to find the very best bee tree

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

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.
