A Shock for Wall Street.
One Drunk, One Dead.

The Supreme Court, which
upholds contracts, surprised'
AVull Street Monday. New York
City supplied money to bui'd
subways. Private individuals,
allowed to operate the subways,
wrote into their contract with
the city a 5-ccnt fare agree
ment. The late Thomas F. Kyan
.told this writer tlrat this was
put in at the special request of
the subway operators, for, said
he, "we could have cavricd pas
sengers profitably for 3 cents,
then.'''
'
But wages went up, oulra
r gcous overcapitalizations made
a 5-ccnt fare apparently un
profitable. '
"Wc want 7 cents, please,"
said the subways.
The stock speculators were
short when the Supreme Court
replied, "You must keep your
5-ccnt contract with the city,
as the city would keep a con
tract with you."
Old timers in Wall Street
"loaded up" with subway
stocks, acted quickly as usual.
They spread a report that the
Supreme Court had decided in
favor' of a higher fare, and sent
prices up while they "unload
ed." '
When the truth came out,
