OPENING PRICES OF LEADING
ISSUES SHOWJfIINOR LOSSES
Reading, New York Central and Other
Securities Decline—Rock Island
Suiters a Loss of Three olnts From
the Preceding Day's Close
New York, April I.—Wall Streeit —
Uncertainty marked the course of to
day's early trading in the stock market.
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.
Bainbridge Spelling Bee
; Bainbridge, April 1. —A spelling bee
and entertainment will be held for the
J benefit of the local High school to-mor
• row night. Ther° will be music, reci
• tations and dialogues. Three prizes
will be awarded in each of four classes
in the contests.

THE QUESTION OF
REVENUE RAISED
E. 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."
