Opening prices showed minor losses in a num'ber of the leading issues, such as Heading. New York Central, Canadian Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio, Lehigh Val- j ley and U. 8. Steel. On the other hand j Hock Island, Eries, local tractions ino- I I tors and equipment shares rose from fractions to over a point. American sugar was prominent for its advance of two points. The feverish undertone of the list was seen in t'lie speedy cancella tion of Bock Island's advance and in other variable movements. Trading in the first hour was again on the scale of a million share session but tapered off later. The market's un usual character was reflected in the ac | tivity of minor railways like Reck Island and Krie, led all others. Standard shares, with few exceptions, fell under yesterday's low quotations, and Rock Island declined until it show ed a ioss of almost three points from the preceding day's close and seven •joints from its high of thait session. Automobile shares became heavy and Bethlehem steel yielded another two points. Rosls slanii debentures were the the features of the bond list, rising 2y s , but soon losing more than its gain.

STEAL SBOO ELK AS LODGE SLEEPS Continued From First Pane. Pittsburgh; Joseph P. Connelly, of Pittsburgh lodge, and P. Montgomery Parks, exalted ruler-elect of Oil City lodge, who is here as secretary of a Senate committee, gained access to the . Elk home. While some of them diverted the attention of those in tho home, Alex ander and Reinecko, with the aid of two bosky assistants, picked up ou the street, removed the elk from its fast enings, carried it through the hall, down the steps, through the big door and put it into a waiting automobile. As tho elk was being taken out of the building one of tho attendants, i who saw the end of the transaction, let out a yell that aroused the neigh born, and made a rush to prevent the abductors from carrying out their nefarioue purpose. Speeding on Way to Oil City He was too late. Beforo he had tho Harrisburg Elks aroused to what was going on, tho automobile, containing the elk was on its swift way to Steel ton. There it was hidden and about daylight was shipped to Oil City, the home of Mr. Parks. It will arrive there in time to be a feature of his installation as exalted ruler at the lodge meeting to-morrow night. The Harrisburg Elks mourn their loss, and are wondering why they went to all the trouble to steal the stuffed animal in Heading if they were to so soon lose it.

WON'T LEAVE IXIEO CITY ; Not Enough Refugees to Warrant the Resumption, of Train Service to Vera Cruz Vera Cruz, April I.—By their re fusal to leave Mexico City in spite of ] the dangers and inconvenience inci dental to a civil war, foreigners have removed what apparently was the only hope of a resumption even temporary of railway communication between the abandoned capital and Vera Cruz. The j Brazilian minister has reported to John IR. Silliman, special consular agent of | the United States in Mexico, that he ; has been unable to find enough Ameri i cans and other foreigners wishing to leave Mexico City to justify asking for trains. General Carranza had told Mr. Silli mun he was willing to provide train service to move such foreigners as de . sired to leave but before he made any arrangements he wanted to know how many passengers there would be. President Wilson's warning to Amer ican citizens to leave Mexico was pub lished several weeks ago in the former • capital but the attitude of virtually all ' citizens of the United States who re side there was that they preferred to ' remain in Mexico City and take their chances unless a plan for intervention ; was behind the warning. They now are convinced that intervention is highly ; improbable and have chosen to stay where they are. ,/ Acting upon instructions from Wash ington Mr. Silliman requested that a • train be provided for the transporta ; tion of Red Cross supplies. The re quest was granted but no supplies have j arrived here. With the exception of i his application for trains to remove foreigners and for a special for the ' use of Duval West, President Wilson's j personal representative in Mexico City, . Mr. Silliman has made no other re ; quest notwithstanding reports that Washington had asked for the restora • tion of something like regular traffic . on the Mexican railroad for the trans . portation of passengers and mails. Reports received at the Carranza ; headquarters indicate that General Al ; varado still holds Moridia, Hie capital ; of Yucatan, and controls the region ad -1 jacent to that city.

E. Jones Prods Ways and Means Committee for Not Taking Action to Raise Additional Funds—Shaffer Says Bills Will Soon Be Reported Tho House of Representatives tihi« morning placed t'he resolution Which is against tho turning back to townshipi of any roads w'hieh linve been taikon over by the State Highway Department and In general terms upholds 'the act of 1911, in the hands of the Com mittee on Public Roads. The chairman, E. E. Jones, of Susqueihanna, gave as surance that She committee will "treat it fairly." - The roßolution, which was introduced in the House on March 24 by Henry I. Wilson, of Jefferson, was a gentle re minder to the administration that a definite road policy had not been an nounced and asked She House to go on record with a definite policy. The res olution sets forth that much valualble time will bo lost, much money wasted and agricultural and other work re tarded if work is not begun soon on the upkeep of the titate roads. There is ap proximately SBOO,OOO available for this purjiose, according to t'he resolution. V Mr. Wilson called up his resolution at the opening of the session this morn ing. He intimated that the administra tion's road policy is ready for an nouncement as, he said, he had assur ances that the matter will receive prompt attention, lie said he offored the resolution in good faith and did not wish to embarrass anyone. His mo tion that the resolution be sent to the Committee on Public Roads was prompt ly seconded. Calls for Revenue Measures Chairman E. E. Jones, of that com mittee, said tihe resolution is a good one and the committeo will treat it fairly. "Little is being done for the roads," he said, "and the session is drawing toward a close. Unless we have some revenues road legislation will be seri ously handicapped. The Ways and Me-ans committee is tardy in not taking action on revenue bills. We onght to have $15,000,000 for roads awl $20,- 000,000 for schools in the next two ye«rs. Revenue bills ought to be passed providing for $10,000,000 additional revenue.'' 'Mr. Dell, of Huntingdon, said it would bo a mistake to drop any roads already provided for and revenue should 'be pro vided. Mr. Oaks, of Cambria, said some of the supervisors of his county ara after a measure providing for a half mill of special tax for road purposes. Mr. Dunn, of Philadelphia, attacked tflie country voters of the State, blaming them for defeating the constitutional amendment which would have permit ted tfhe Commonwealth to issue 'bonds to the extent of $5t),000,000 for roads. Promises Revenue Bill Soon "They were falsely influenced," he said, "to believe that the money would be misspent. It is the fault of the country people in this State t'liat Penn sylvania does not have roads superiot to any other Common weal tJh. The people who would mostly 'benefit by good roads are the people who defeated it." Mr. Shaffer, a member of the Wayi and Means committee, mud that revenue bills will ibe reported out very soon. The Wilson resolution provides "that it is tho sense of the House that the en tire mileage of the iState highwav sys tem as originally outlined in the Sproul bill and as subsequently increased by t'he General Assembly of 1913 bo kepi intact as a nucleus for a State (highway rolicy and system and that the State Highway Department be directed t« proceed at the earliest date in the ac> fcual work of repair and maintenance."
