DEALINGS ARE RESTRICTED Minimum Prices Are Established, but These Are Subject to Read justment Dealings Are on Circumscribed Scale. JfEW TORK, Nov. 28. The New York Block Exchange opened Its doors to day for the first time In nearly four months to permit limited trading In bonds. The conservative element had successfully resisted all efforts to re new business, even In tentative form, until home Investment conditions re flected some Justification for such ac tion. It was evident, however, that the re sumption of operations, even under the rig-id terms Imposed, which included the establishment of minimum prices, exercised a marked effect on senti ment throughout the financial district. There was an unusually large attend ance of members and the sound of the opening- gong- was echoed by loud and prolonged cheering from the floor, which was taken up by the visitors in the galleries. Investors Timid at Firat. Trading all through the brief session reflected hesitation and timidity on the part of the investors and brokers. There resulted several material de clines from July 30 prices, with a few gains, chiefly in the industrial division of the bond list. At no time was there any movement suggesting " serious' liquidation, and of foreign selling, con cerning which some apprehension had been felt, there appeared to be none at all. Dealings at all times were moderate, this being shown by the total business of the Besslon, which amounted to (644,000, par value, exclusive of $5000 in Government bonds. The largest single transaction was a sale of 26,000 Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul general mortgage 4 per cent bonds, which was recorded in the early dealings at a loss of 2 points. Only SO Issues Quoted. For the most part offerings were in lots of one to fire bonds, best prices being established at the outset, after which fractional recessions were gen eral. Altogether about 50 different Issues were quoted Instead of some 150 or more in active times. It was evident from the disparity between July 30 prices and some re corded today that the exchange au thorities had virtually waived mini mum prices in a few of the inactive issues. For instance, bonds of the Southern Railway, "Wabash, Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line and one or two other railroad companies lost from four to nine points, while the 4 per cents of the International Mer cantile Marine Company fell 11 points. Some Iaanea Show Gains. Among the few Issues which sold at prices higher than the closing of July 30 were American Telephone & Tele frraph convertibles, Bethlehem Steel re funding 5s, Central of Georgia 6s, Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul convert ible 4s, Distillers Securities 6s, Inter borough Metropolitan 4s, New York Railways adjustments and Texas Com pany convertibles. It is significant of l.ie attitude of the exchange that minimum prices are subject to change from day to day. In a word, today's minimum may be low ered on Monday and with each passing day the list will undergo "general readjustment." Y9 Will remove their business Feb. first to the new Stevens building, corner Washington and West Park. On Tuesday, Dec. l,We Will Inaugurate a . mm o w si L 470 YOUNGSTERS AT FEAST La Grande Man lias Poor Children for Thanksgiving Guests. LA GRANDE, Or., Nov. 28. (Special.)

The guests were only those children of La Grande whose own homes did not afford dinners of this kind. BANK APPRAISERS NAMED Property of Defunct Vancouver In st 1 tut Ion to Be Examined. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 28. (Spe cial.) Almost four years after the fail, lire of the Commercial Bank, of Van couver, today & board of five apprais ers, all disinterested persons, was ap pointed by Judge Back, of the Supe rlor Court of Clarke County, to ap praise all property owned by the bank and to list all indebtedness against it. Twenty per cent has been paid to the depositors, but nothing has been re celved for about two years.

TERMS OF SALE CASH A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY TAKE ADVANTAGE Morrison at Fourth Morrison at Fourth 1 PUBLICITY LAW M SQQfi BE Of TRIAL Representative Kent, Califor nia "Independent," Says Campaign Cost $6966. ACT ALLOWS ONLY $5000 Officials of House Making No Move to Prosecute; Member la Expect ed to Support Democrats In an Matters. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington Nov. 28. The campaign pub licity law. enacted by Congress more than three years ago, 19, or soon wui be. on trial, and it will be determined whether It is to be disregarded at will by men who care to spend lavishly In Congressional campaigns. Expenditures in the recent election having been made a matter of record cannot well be ignored, unless the Ad ministration is willing to let the word go forth that this law, so far as the Federal authorities are concerned, ia to be looked on as a dead letter. The campaign publicity law, among other things, provides that candidates for seats in the House of Representa tives may not spend more than $5000 in their campaigns for- nomination and election, and candidates for the Senate may spend not more tnan $10,000. All candidates for either branch of Con gress are required to file sworn state ments showing the amounts they have spent, and the amounts contributed to their campaign funds. Campaign Cost Is $6966. In conformity with the .latter require ment of this law, William Kent, Rep resentative from the First District of California, and the only "Independent1 member of Congress, recently filed a statement showing he had spent in his recent campaign a total of J6966. If the publicity law is a virile act Kent must be prosecuted. The Kent case has directed attention to the publicity act, and it is found, upon scrutiny of that Ingenious statute, that there is no provision which in validates a candidate's right to a seat in Congress even though his election 1 may have been procured by the expen diture of more than the legal amount. The only penalty clause is found at the end of the act, and reads : "That every person wilfully violating any of the foregoing provisions of this act shall upon conviction be fined not more than $1000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both." Member's Arrest Foiled. Under the Constitution a Member of Congress is immune from arrest during the term for which he is elected. Sec ondly, there is no provision in the penalty clause, or elsewhere in the law, for prosecuting those who spend more than the legal amount in their cam paigns; Jurisdiction is not conferred on anyone and no official of the Govern ment is authorized to enforce the law. Whether any private citizen so dis posed can file a complaint against Mr. Kent and seek to have him prosecuted, or whether any Government official would undertake to make complaint is a question to be decided later. There is no disposition among the of ficials of the House of Representatives to prosecute Mr. Kent. While he styles himself an Independent, he is for all practical purposes, a Democrat, and the Democrats count on having his support in the next Congress for all partisan legislation. Votes wilkbe badly needed by the Democratic leaders in the next House. OSTEND IS CHANGED LITTLE ' READER WHO WILL APPEAR IX IlECITAL TUES DAY AFTERNOON. Wapato Irrigation Plans Filed. WAPATO, Wash..
