The Keene pool in Eouthefa Pacific stock, whleh has lately twn referred to as the nslnoritjr holders.

answered yesterday the defiance of the Union Pacific Interests In Southern Pacific, by extending the; pool tintit A Tkrl "I A m-An alflv aft tia annual meeting of the Southern stock holder. By this extensionthe managers of the pool are able to prevent Us disruption Just prior to' the meeting which woul necessitate the securing of proxies on this oek, which they are now controlling ab solutely. The pool in Southern Pacific was to have expired on April 1. The Union Pacific Interests were suspected of the Intention to keep transfer, books open until after that date, no as to have the pool dissolved and the pool stock retransferred to the. owners before the annual meeting, would be held.

By extending the time. of the pool the minority Interests will be able to present a Strong front and to make themselves heard even If they should he unable to force out the present management. This step was definitely decided on at a "hurried meeting of the pool managers on dlonday evening, althoagh It had been under consideration for some days.

It was not, however, generally known in- Wall Street, as an endeavor was made to keep It as a surprise card for the Union Pacific tn fa 4 i The action taken In extending the time for the pool was considered by those who Heard of it as the minority holders' reply to the statements of the majority's representatives.

Emboldened by the emphatic and official denial, over nfcht of any settlement of the fight between the majority and minority Interests In Southern Pacific, the bear, in the tock market resumed their campaign of depression yesterday, and before the day was ever succeeded In forcing many declines, acmo of them not They were aided in their crusade by the aone too encouraging developments in the affairs of the Ice Trust, whose stocks broke badly on the that the year's operations had resulted In a deficit; further calling of loans by the banks, together with continuing firm money; by a ridiculous rumor that the Government intended forthwith to make a call on depository banks for money for the Panama Canal purchase, and by the dribbling out ef long stock by weakly margined holders. Under the pressure the prices of many active stocks broke from 2 to. 3 points each, while there were such exceptional declines as 4 in Ice common. 0 in Ice preferred, and each in Minneapolis and ft. Louis and Central.

In the standard stocks New York Central fell nearly 4 points to the lowest price recorded on the present movement 137 this comparing with Its high figure of I74tf recorded Jov. 25. 1901; Pennsylvania dropped to Its lowest on this decline, yesterday's prico J142 comparing: with a high figure of 1.0 on Sept. 4. 1002; while St.

Paul fell to or -within an eighth of the low reached, lit the decline last December. -Not unnaturally the greatest interest centred In the movements of Southern Pacific and Union Pacific because of the fight on there. In London, before the opening here, the prices of both stocks were down, and It did not surprise the Street, therefore, when Union Pacific opened down at 92. as compared with Monday's close of H3. while in Southern Pacific the initial transaction was at 624, as compared with Monday's close of C34.

Prom these figures to tti. with the close at 91 H. a ions of i points, on dealings involving 69.000 shares. Southern Pacific fell to tiOH. rallied to above 62.

and then In the final dealings rapidly receded to HO-Sr a net loss of 214. on 0.000 shares- Some of the late selling was undoubtedly due to the belief that the fight between the minority and majority Interests promises to be a bittr one. The market generally closed at near to the lowest price of the day. but with operations not on an extensive scale and showing little niirns of other than professional manipulation for a fall. Banking interests who supported fche market on Monday were buyers on a scale-down yesterday, while Western houses were heavy sellers.

I COTTON EXCHANGE SURPRISE. Bull Clique, Thought to Have Been Disbanded, Advanced Prices Almost to' Ten-Cent Mark. Yesterday was a day of surprises on the Cotton Exchange, for the bull clique, which It was supposed had been practical ly suddenly returned with evidently refreshed strength and with a good long pull hoisted the prices of the com modity back to a point near the ten-cent mark. The opening of the market was nervous and -uncertain. News from Liverpool showed a sharp rise in the market there and dispatches from the South told of flood dangers and, other dire disasters which threatened the stocks of cotton already gathered, as well as the seeds which had been planted In the ground for next year's crop.

Under these influence the bears became Vorrted, and after an effort to sell down the market, which, however, yielded only a few points, they decided It was about time to cover. But when they tried to buy rotlnn fhrft was. ntn fnr a a 'mwiA eagerness to sell Arned Into a frenxy to buy. Here the bulls jumped la and advanced prices until at the close they had reached nearly the highest for the dav. ine loiai rise over in lowest prices of Monday was forty points, or 2 a bale.

The advance over Monday's closing 1s about 30 points, and over the opening it -waff about 25 notnts. The upward movement was led by Daniel J. Sully without any spectacular show, but the brokers at the end had worked themselves Into such a state of excitement that the big Exchange room fairly trem-. bled with their shouts. The movement, however was declared by the bears to be entirely a local affair, without- backing from oilt-of-town Interests.

WANTS MONEY TO TEST GAS. Commissioner Monrce Asks the Ccard of Estimate for $51,000. Commissioner Monroe or tie "Department Of Water Gas and Electricity made a request yesterday on the Board of Estimate for to be used in extensive tests of Illuminating gas. mandatory provisions of the law require that gas shall be tested at least twice a year and may be Inspected as frequently as the Commissioner thinks but not oftener'thin once a week. In discussing the complaints made frequently about the quality and pressure of gis.

Commissioner Mcnroe writes; "The only means at th disposal of this department at the present time for carry--Inx out the mandatory provisions of these two sections consists of photometric stations in the Borough of Manhattan, where the illuminating power, pressure, and quality of illuminating gas are tested. Of course these tests are necessarily confined to the localities in which these stations are Situated. Of course is impossible for this department with ths facilities to test the candle power of gas in any particular lamppost at any and It Is alo impossible to test the quality of gas furnished to any building other than those photometric stations, In view of the many complaints which are now being made as to pressure. Illuminating power, and quality of the gas furnished to private consumers, it becomes Imperative that this department should bo properly equipped to make any Inspections at any time and at any place. This can be done by constructing and equipping movable stations on wagons, which can proceed any time of the day or night to any par-icular building or any particular street lamp and make the test at such place.

It Is also Imperative that this department should be furnished with the funds to test the accuracy of electric meters so that the mandatory provisions of law may be carried into effect for the public benefit."

Six actions in the Supreme Court to foreclose mortgages were filed with the County Clerk of Westchester at White Plains, yesterday, on. behalf of the Irvin National Bank" of New York City. They are directed against William Radford of Yonkers, his Clara Radford, and the Yorkera Savings Bank. Through their fll-tng it became known that for a week James Radford, father of William Radford, had been missing from and that he had left under financial difficulties. James Radford Is a son of the late Will-lam Radford, one Congressman from Westchester, who served In the House of Representatives during the civil war.

When the ex-Congressman' died, in 1870. he left upward of which was divided between his sons. William and James. Ttl "lx foreclosure actions aggregate fiU.am, and are said to be directly due to the financial troubles of James Radford. It Is said that Mrs.

Radford, the wife of WlliUm Radford, stands to lose about unles her father-in-law's affairs are straightened out. William Radford Is also 'suld to be a loser, end with banks, firms. atl private cttisens having claims of va-rkws natures against James Radfoad. It said the lattefa troubles will footup to something like 10O.Otx. During the week conferences of the claimants have been held, but, so far as has been learned, nothing wis done until the New York bnk.

So far as can be learned, he had no large sum of money when he saw the crash was inevitable. James Radford was a large holder of real estate here and lid a real estate business.

For some tlmo past he- Is reported to have- been doing more or le Wall Street speculating, and it is reported that tt waa in this way that he became LEGAL NOTES. Transfer' Tax on Child's Leoact. On a hearing to fix a transfer tax on the estate of John U. Lane it was not disputed that the decendent stood toward Elizabeth 8. Albertson, the residuary legatee.

In the mutually acknowledged relation of a parent from June 20, 1870. Mrs. Albertson -wished to Uke advantage of the 1 per cent, tax allowed If the relationship of that of parent and child should exist between a legatee and a testator at or before the former's fifteenth birthday. She. however, on June 29, 1871), was older than fifteen years by five months.

On that date Mr. Lane had married her mother, but as she was able to show that she and her mother had for a long time before been members of -Mr. Lane's household. Surrogate Thomas hat, held that she can take advantage of the fctatute. One of the grounds on which he places his decision is the evidence of George B.

Borton and Susan W. Borton. who Jointly affirmed "that the said Elizabeth S. Albertson went to live with John G. Lane when she was a small child, and before she was eight years old.

and then- became a member of his family, and that before her fifteenth bUthday the mutual relation of father and daughter existed between them, and that they addressed and introduced each other si ttuch. Extravagant Fvnerai. Expenses. A case on ths question of what are extravagant funeral expenses wss lately decided by the Supreme Court of Iowa. The case Is entitled Foley vs.

Broeksmlt, Is reported in Northwestern Reporter 344 It appeared that a decedent, having no relatives in the city where he lived and who waa a man of very humble station, left an estate of lexs than 3.000v It was held that an allowance by a Jury of $453 to the undertaker for funeral expenses charged at was excessive. "The plaintiff, an undertaker, received to go to the place where the body of the decedent was lying and take charge of the remains. Just by whom this direction was given did not appear, but It was shown that the plalntirf relied upon his own discretion in determining the character of tne casket and other articles to be furnished, and of the services to be rendered. The court temarket that a decent burial should comport with the racial condition of the ileceased and the amount of hi fortune. Justice to creditors, as well as to one's surviving family, demands, however, that there should be no extravagant outlay to their loss." The court further said: "The idea that a mnn dying leaving an estate of lenA than ooo should have a casket costing and that his estate should be burdened with funeral fxpenxes amounting to is little short of ridiculous.

Courts will not permit such an Injustice to be tolerated, no matter what the finding of the Jury. The rase is reversed and remanded for a new trial, or at rlainriff's omion. he may have Judgment this court for the sum of $15x This option is to be exercised within thirty days from the filing of-this opinion.

Harrison Mill.

Hi. bearing, bis stories of plans and ambitions, and his familiarity with art. and New York patrons Inspired confidence. He told the men upon whom 'he called that he was planning to go into business with a certain well-known dealer ln picture frames and artists' materials, and that he Intended to. open a gallery.

Hi plans, however, were aa yet Immature. In the meantime, he said, he knew of several person, who would buy' paintings by the artists be had visited, and asked permission to show these canvases at the homes of his prospective patrons. "This was granted by severe' painters. The artists started out In search of information about young Mills and learned yesterday that he had pawned a number of the paintings. The pawn tickets had been left with a picture frame merchant as security for a thlrteen-dollar loan for two days.

The merchant turned the ticket over to the artist, and the painting, were redeemed by the one of whom for leu than it would cost gild the frames." Amon the paintings that had been pawned were found two by William-J. Whittemore. one by Prof. I M. Wiles, and a painted and owned by George Reeves.

Six of the pawn tickets surrendered by the merchant were for paintings by unknown artists that were not deemed worth the money that had been realized on them, and they were not redeemed. George H. 6millie received an unhonored check from young Mills. Harry W. Mills, elder brother of J.

E. Mills, when seen at his office at West Fifty-fourth Street yesterday afternoon, said: "The boy is still less than twenty-one years old. He was always -very proud. He dressed to beat the band, and always: smoked the best cigars. I guess about all t-io money he ever had he put on his back.

When he worked for me here In the packing and shipping of paintings he always dressed fine and never wanted any one to know that he had to work for a living. I never knew of any other bad habits he had." Mention was made to Mr. Mills of the fact that hui younger brother had submitted a worthless check for paintings he had received, and Mr. Mills said.
