Amplifying his talk with reporters at Milwaukee, Moyer said James McNaugh- ton, manager of the Calumet and Hecla, passed the mob in his machine and was at the railroad station when the mob ar- rived.

Plaintiff Is Said to Have Caused Attorneys to Avoid Publicity in Van Cleave Loan. By Asscciated Preas. ROME, Dec. 27.—Many rumors were in circulation today concerning the recent death of rdinal Rampolla. One of them hinted that he died from unnat- ural causes and there was a possibility of his body being exhumed for the pur- pose of a postmortem examination. Attendants, intimate friends and rela- tives of the late Cardinal, as well as of- ficials of the Vatican, deny all these rymors. In spite of the Vatican denial, the Messagero, a popular newspaper, says exhumation of the body of the Cardinal has been ordered in consequence of sus- picions aroused by his sudden death and disappearance of his will All the evidence thus far adduced con- cerning the black box which was taken from the room of the Cardinal the day he died tends to show he was fearful it would be tampered with. The box, which is believed by some persons to have contained the last will and testa- ment and other papers of Cardinal Ram- polla was placed under his pillow by the Cardinal the day he was forced to take to his bed with the seizure which shortly afterward caused his death. Soon after the Cardinal passed away and while the body was being moved from the bed to be prepared for the casket, the black box fell to the floor. Some person picked it up and laid it on the Cardinal's ‘writing desk. Since that time all is a mystery concerning Annette C. Greer of Greenville, Miss.” i the box.

Greer of 5620 Water- man avenue, who was formerly the wife of Russell E. Gardner, a wealthy bug- gy manufacturer, Saturday dismissed at her own costs a $10,000 suit she had brought against Dr. Mare Ray Hughes, an alienist, with offices in the Metro- poiitan Building. Her attorney, R. M. Nichols, and Vital W. Garesche, at- torney for Hughes, both said there had been no settlement out of court. Nichols said Mrs. Greer’s poor health caused her to abandon the proceedings. Dr. Hughes expressed surprise when told of the dismissal. He had received no intimation of it from the other side, he said, but rather expected the case would not come to trial. He declared he never owed Mrs. Greer a dollar and added that he had not paid a dollar to bring about a settlement. The suit grew out of an alleged transaction in which Mrs. Greer said she loaned $10,000 to Benjamin L. Van Cleave of the Van Cleave Lumber Co., on the advice of Dr. Hughes. She de- clared she thought she was lending the money to the company instead of to Van Cleave personally. Van Cleave’s business failure, she said, had cost her the money. Case Mystifies Public.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—An operation never before attempted or concelved— the injection of 11 tubes of radium into @ cancer to prevent its growth and cure the malady—was performed upon Robert G. Brenner, Democratic Representative from the Seventh District of New Jer- sey, Christmas day. The radium used in this wonderful test of the power of the newly discov- ered eloment is worth more than $100,000. Brenner has suffered from cancer of the shoulder for several years.

He.said he.was John Rudesky of 1028 North Eleventh. street. The highwayman told the detectives he was Robert Cook, of 2907 Franklia avenue. He,said the glass revolver was a saloon souvenir. and that he had started out with it to have fun and, not to rob anyone.

Restitution suits against certain Frisco officials and directors, ordered Friday by United States Circuit Judge Sanborn, in chareg of the Frisco receivership, will be instituted as soon as the spe- cial counsel, John D, and Loomis C. Johnson, can prepare the bills of com- plaint. Loomis Johnson said Saturday he did not know just how much time would bu required for the preparation of the pe- titions. It is understood the _ special counsel] will have access to ail the Fris- co .records for the purpose of info-m- ing themselves thoroughly as to all the details of the various syndicate tran- sactions in which the Frisco officials were involved. The Interstate Commerce Commfssion, at the St. Louis hearing in November, inquired into several syndicate deals in which B. F.. Yoakum, chairman of the board of Frisco directors, was interest- ed, and which at various times other directors or officers participated. James Campbell, the petitioner for the Frisco receivership, and a vice-president of the railroad company, and W. K. Bixby, a director, were interested in the Brownsville syndicate, which rold the Brownsville Railroad to the Frisco. The syndicate made a profit of $3,000,000, ‘of which more than $500,000 went to Yoakum, Campbell, Bixby and the late Edwin Hawley, all of whom were Fris- co directors at the time. T. H. West's Interest. Whether Thomas H. West, formerly one of the Frisco receivers, will be made a defendant in any of the suits, has not been determined. West became a director of the Frisco Dec. 4, 1909, im- mediately after the resolution authoriz- ing the purcnase of the Brownsville Railroad was passed by the board. West was one of the principal pro- moters of the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico Railroad. The records of the directors’ meeting at which the Browns- ville resolution was passed show that Yoakum, Campbell and Hawley stepped out of the meeting when the resolution Was called up for passage. The de- talis of the purchase are said to have - been arranged by Yoakum and his im- be “mediate associates before the meeting. Yoakum, at the time of the sale, was president of the Brownsville railroad. In a statement recently issued he said his gross profit on the Brownsville deal Was $227,580.42. The interest on his in- vestment, at 6 per cent, reduced his net profit to $111,759.49, he said.

A law passed by the Legislature in 1911 also may have a bearing on some of the deals since that time. This law provides that “if the officers and directors of any corporation § shall knowingly purchase for the corpora- tion, of which they are officers and ‘directors, any property, *eal or per- sonal, and pay therefor more than the thereof, they shall be jointly and severally liable for the . debts of the corporation to an amount equal] to the difference between the pur- .

Judge Sanborn, after dismissing the application of W. W.

Hurled to the floor by a policeman, Rodowa Abeken, physical instructor for the Public Recreation Commission, was seriously injured in a basket ball game in the police gymnasium, Friday night. His right shoulder was dislocated and four ribs were hroken. Abeken, though only 23 years old, is a noted athlete, having been specially trained since childhood by, his father, Dr. Frederick Abeken, with whom he lives at 914 Utah street. It was Patrolman William Schneider of the Mounted District, an expert wrestler, who threw Abeken to the floor. A report made by Patrolman Palucek of the Central District, a spec- tator, said that if Abeken had not vio- lated the rules of the game by jumping on Schnelder’s shoulders he would not have been hurt. The basket ball game was between the Concordia Turnverein team and a picked team of policemen. When Abeken jumped on Schneider's shoulders, the police report said, Schnzi- der exerted all of his strength to shake Abeken off. Abeken was hurled head- long to the floor and was picked up up- conscious. At the city dispensary Dr. Drake re- vived him and, on learning the extent of his injuries, advised him to go to the city hospital. Abeken refused to do this and was taken home. He was accompanied by M. McGrath of 3302 South Ninth street and Edgar Zimmer of 3244 Pennsylvania avenue. Piles Cured in 6 te 14 Days.

Says He Expects to Go Back. “I believe the strike is won in the Calurnet district. I expect to return to Calumet in a few days under Govern- ment protection, State and national. “I have been trying to settle the strike. The Governor and Attorney- General of Michigan, the latter having visited Hancock a few days ago, ac- knowledge I have been doing my ut- most to settle the strike.

They admit I have kept my word with them, the State officials and local authorities.’’ When asked the question: “Is ‘tt true, Mr. Moyer, that the mine own- ers ere willing to form local unions but are against unions being affili- ated with the Western Federation of Miners?’ he said: “No, it is not true,” he answered “The mine owners are against organ ized labor. The miners cannot belong to any but the Western Federation and be a part of the labor movement in the country.” Moyer would not say whether any of the men who attacked him were in Sheriff Cruz’s party which had talked with him in his room at the hotel just a few minutes before the attack. He said he did not recognize ony of the men who came in after the Sheriff's party had left, as members of that party. Had Tickets in Readiness. “But,” he said, “I cannot understand how the deputies happened to be at the station waiting when the mob got there. Neither can I understand how it was they had Chicago tickets for Tanner and myself, nor how they could summon a doctor and tell him to charge the treatment to the county unless the Sheriff knew all of the time that the attack was going to take place.” He hinted that he thought the Sher- iff's conference as to burial arrange- ments for those who lost their lives in the Christmas panic was a ruse to find out if he was alone and if it would be safe for the other party to attack him. Former Congressman Victor Berger of Milwaukee entered the car upon its arrival here and was greeted by Moyer warmly. He invited the injured man to his home and said that the Mil- waukee Socialists would go to the aid of the Calumet miners. “Kidnaping” of Moyer Will Have Neo om Conduct of Strike. Mich., Deo. 37.—It was shot in the shoulder and head be- fore he ‘was deported by unknown per- sons late last night. This report can- not be confirmed. It was said by local union officials that the “kidnaping”’ will have no effect on the future conduct of the strike, al- though they believed it would result in a congressional investigation, which fed- eration leaders have been urging for several weeks. Sheriff Cruse is investigating the Moyer case, but has not announced re- } sults. Up to a late hour this morning no word had been received at union head- quarters from Moyer. The strike dis- trict was calm. In many quarters hope was expressed that the Citizens’ Com- mittee would be able to prevail on the families of the Christmas disaster to accept funds collected for them. More than $25,000 has been raised from this source. Feeling between the strikers and the Citizens’ Alliance, embittered by the Cisaster of Christmas eve, reached a point where the conservatives look for- ward with relief to the early arrival of John D. Densmore, Federal Agent, who has been delegated to investigate conditions. It is the opinion of some there never was a time since the strike began when there was less chance for arbitration. Men prominent in the Citizens’ A)}i- ance would make no statement except . general denial that the alliance had anything to do with the deportation of Moyer.

CULIACAN, Sinaloa, Mexico, Dec. 27.— Constitutionalist officials of Sinaloa were accorded official honors when they visited the United States cruiser Pitts- burg at San Blas, according to details of the visit related yesterday when the party returned here. The insurgent state officials had vi:3- ited the Pittsburg upon request of Rear Admiral Cowles, whom they had enter- tained at the state capitol at Culiacan. The insurgent version of the visit wus that when Gov. Riveros and Iturbe boarded the Pittsburg they were re- ceived by a salute of 16 guns. The Mex- Gen. ‘liean tri-color floated with the Stars and Stripes of the American ship of war. The visitors were entertained at lunch- eon and inspected the ship and crew.

BRITISH MARINES ARE LANDED NEAR ' MEXICAN BORDER Six Hundred Put Off in British Honduras to Watch Line Near Belize. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Six hundred British marines from the cruiser Her- mion have been landed at the port of Belize, British Honduras, for the pur- pose of patroling the border between that country and Mexico. They have not touched Mexican soil, and it is not their present purpose to do so. They are watching Gen. Manuel Brito, who is said to be equipping a revolt of his own near Belize, to operate against the Mexican Government, John Bassett Moore, acting Secretary of State, said the State Department had no information on the action of the British Government. He added that the United States could not object to Brit- ish marines landing in British terri- tory. Japanese Officers Reported to Be Seeking Mexican Army Places. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—A special cable to the New York Times from Mexico says: “According to an official state- ment made by the Government today, it has received a request through the Mexican legation at Tokio from more than 50 Japanese army officers to be allowed to enter the service of the Mexican army. This ts generally taken here as an indication that much better feeling has been created between Mexi. co and Japan as a result of the visit of the special envoy, Francisco de la Barra. “The Government has not acted on this request, but it is generally believed that this will depend largely on whether Japanese artillery is introduced in the Mexican army.”’ Mexico to Pay Interest on Its Na- tional Bends.

Watts Is Chairman of Committee Appointed by the Clearing House. The committee appointed by the St. Louis Clearing House Association to represent the banking interests of the city in an effort to get one of the new Federal Reserve Banks for St. Louis. held its first meeting Saturday in the office of Chairman F. O. Watts in the Third National Bank. Plans for presenting the claims of St. Louis to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Secretary of -Agricu.tur: tiouston when they hold a public hear- ing in St. Louis Jan. 22, 23 and 24 were discussed by the committee. The Busl- ness Men’s League will appoint a com mittee to co-operate with the bankers committee. The members of the bank- ers’ committee are Chairman Watts. Festus J. Wade, president of the Ciear- ing House Association; Walker Hill, preeident of the Mechanics-American National Bank and J. C. Van Riper, president of the American Trust Co. Bank in Each District. The newly enacted currency law pro- vided that as soon as practicable the Secretary of the Treasury and no fewer than tWo other members of the Federal Reserve Board shall designate not less than eight nor more than 12 cities to be krown as Federal reserve cities, shall divide the United States into districts and establish in each district one Fed- eral reserve bank. Secretary McAdoo and _ “Secretary Houston in Washington Friday selected l4 cities at which hearings will be held These cities were St. Louis, New York Boston, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Port lei.d, Ore., San Francisco, Los Angeles Houston, Tex., New Orleans, Atlanta Cincinnati and Cleveland. The first meeting will be held in New York Jan. 2 and 3 and will then swing aiound the circles of other Cities. Chairman Watts said the St. Louts ci mmittee, in conjunction with the Busi- ness Men’s League, would be prepare‘ to present to Secretaries ‘McAdoo and Houston a statement of facts showing why this city should be selected for one cf the Federal reserve centers. Watts said the St. Louls bankers were not only interested in having one of the reserve banks established here, but were also interested in having the Federal reserve district for the bank established to include the territory that is naturally tributary to St. Louis and in which this city does the greatest volume of business. Should St. Louis be selected as one of the reserve cities, all the national banks within the St. Louis reserve dis- trict would be required to subscribe one-sixth of their capital stock to the reserve bank. Trust companies and State banks would also have the privi- lege, but are not required to subscribe to the capital stock of the reserve bank. Will Show What City Has Done. In a general way it has been decided i furnish to the committee statistics showing how much money St. Loute has distributed throughout the territory tributary to St. Louis in former years’ what a large territory can be readily served from this city, and how it can be served through excellent mail, ex press and railroad facilities. St. Louis is now one of the three reserve cities of the United States and this fact proba- bly will be a strong point in its favor. President Shapleigh of the Business Men's League sent a telegram to Sec retary Houston, whose home is in St. Louis, stating that this city would be in the contest for one of the regionai banks. Shapleigh said the league would co-operate with the Clearing House As- sociation in the effort to get one of the banks established here. f WHAT SHALL I BUY for a New Year's ift?

For the first time since he left Wash- ington the President had a ruddy glow on his cheeks. He had grown somewhat pal@ during his recent illness, but rest, bracing air and exercise apparently was restoring his health. Citizens of Gulfport, through which place the President daily passes on his way to the golf club, today were on the alert tc see him. Wilson's prowess 4% a fire fighter, when he saved the home of Judge J. H. Neville from destruction yesterday, has added to his fame here. One member of the volunteer fire de- partment of Gulfport today revealed that the President is quite mandatory in an emergency. Questions Volunteer Firemen. “I was standing outside the Neville residence waiting for the apparatus to arrive,” he said, “when a man came up. He noticed my uniform and asked me why I was standing there looking at the fire,”’ “Why don’t you get up there and help?” he asked. I told him I couldn't go up until the hook and ladder wagon came. *“ Well,” he said, ‘my men could climb up on the inside. I don’t see why you can't.’ It suddenly dawned on me that I was talking to the President and I went inside to help.” The President was returning from a quiet game of golf yesterday and on passing through Gulfport, eight miles from here, saw a blaze on the roof of a big house. It was the home of Judge Neville, who won fame in 1891 by prose- cuting John L. Sullivan for a prize fight at Richburg, Miss., with Jake Kilrain. Mrs. Neville, who was alone in the building, had run to the window to watch the President go by when sud- denly the two machines stopped and the darted up the front steps, followed by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. 8S.°N., the se- cret service men and chauffeurs who nad unstrapped the fire extinguishers from their machines and awaited the President's orders. Mrs. Neville was confused. “Don’t be alarmed!" said the Presi- dent, coolly, “‘your house is afire, but these men will put it out’ quickly if you will show them the way to the at- tic.” Mrs. Neville hastened to comply and in a few minutes the fire fighters de- scended with the report that little dam- age had been done and that the blaze was out. Tells Chief Fire Is Out “Well done,” said the President, and the entire party left the house for the automobiles. The Chief of the local Fire Department was just arriving with his hook and ladder and other apparatus. “The fire’s over,”’ announced the Pres- ident, and added with a proud smile: “My men have just put it out.” Judge Neville and his son came run- ning up at that moment, and a big crowd collected.

Lusk, who has not been connected with the Frisco, exclusive charge of the suits and appoints the attorneys for Stockholder Niles, who sought te bring suit, counsel for the receivers. As Judge Sanborn remarks, the only way to assure a fair hearing for all parties and to get a just conclusion is in court. The case must take its course there. All the facts will be brought out and the rights and interests of the persons concerned adjudicated. As an agent of publicity which has thrown the searchlight on the Frisco scandal and has done all in its power to destroy the wretched system of across-the-table dealing the Post-Dispatch s¢es in this action a greater reform victory than that ef obtaining justice for stockholders. We hail it as a decisive blow at the railroad graft system. If restitution shall be ordered, officers and di- rectors of railroads will stop dealing with them- selves. If there are legal obstacles to just resti- tution they will be removed, But beyond all this is a greater victory which a complete disclosure of the facts will bring. This victory lies in governmental supervision of rail- road finances for the honest and efficient expendi- ture of railroad money fof necéssary railroad purposes. Stock watering and jobbing will cease. In the approval by leading raflroad men, such as B. F. Bush of the Missouri Pacific, ©. H. Markham of the Illinois Central, H. U. Mudge cf the Rock Island, 8. M. Felton of the Chicago & Great Western and others, of Federal regulation of railroad finances is the end of railroad oppo- sition to the proposal. The railroad men, like the bankers in the matter of banking and cur- rency reform, see the light. They recognize that honest and efficient railroading must be assured if railroad development is to go on. They must take the pubife into their confidence and show clean hands. This will solve the railroad prob- lem. a ee ee er OR “eee en er = = * _ —- aS w= Hobson’s mistake is in carrying his Chau- fauqua manner into the congressional debates. = = * i. ii A PRESIDENTS UNDER FIRE. President Wilson entered the house, (says the account of the fire in the home of Mrs. J. H. Nevilfe at Gulfport, Miss.) and encountered Mrs. Neville. Addressing her, he said: “Your house is on fire, but do. not be alarmed. These gentle- men here will put it out if you will-show them how to get to the attic.” ‘This is the least bit academic, but it does very well, considering the stress of the moment and the fact that he had spent the morning on a strange golf course. Be- sides Mr. Wilson went South for rest. Mr. Roosevelt would have dashed into .the house crying “Stand aside!” in the tone of a fire- engine gong. He would have galloped up the stairs like a troop of cavalry, and extinguished the fire himself with great enthusiasm, pausing only to acknowledge the cheers of the spectators. Mr. Taft would have remained unhappily in his automobile and, after due consideration, have sent the secret service men in to put out the fire. = = — a ——————— That great storm along the New Jersey ovnst similitudé to some new F..

Heap Jr., was fated to die, while carrying Christmas cheer to a crippled lad in Denver? Young Mr. Heap was a former resident of Pat- erson, N. J., who had become a health exile in the West because of tuberculosis. Learning that the mother of a boy of eight years had said that there “wasn’t any Santa Claus for peor childrés,” Mr, Heap left the sickroom, stocked his automo- bile with a sled, a train of toy cars, clothes, candy and other gifts for the destitute family and start- ed out to deliver them, His car Becoming stalled in the snow he staggered along with his burden, was overcome by exhaustion, and died. - The living may felicitate this fine-fibered young man on a manner of death that must excite a giow of pride fn all hearts, He died as men may pest desire to die, on a mission of generosity and self-sacrifice. Is there a higher impulse of human character? It is not long since a newspaper thrashed out the question “What is a gentleman?” through columns of correspondence exhibiting vari- ous contradictions of opinion on the subject. At least there can be no disagreement that a man who died-as Mr. Heap waa a gentleman. Can justice afford to avail herself of the princely bribe offered her from his cell by Elmer E.

Within three days after the approval of the cur- rency bill 1000 banks had made application for stock in the regional institutions established by the bill. While state banks are included among the applicants, the number is about one-seventh of the total number of national banks in the entire country. It indicates the submission of the banking fraternity to the new order of things under which their business is to become a regulated utility, conducted with a view to the needs of the public. The rush to get in gives plausibility to the belief of Vice-President Ed- mund D. Hulbert of the Merchants’ Loan and Trust Co., Chicago, that much of the opposition to the bill in the West was insincere and was in- spired by mistaken notions of fraternal courtesy to Wall street banks, which were fighting the destruction of their advantages under the pres- ent system. , oi No national bank of importance and established business can afford to stay out of the new sys- tem. A greater*success than that predicted for it while the measure was under consideration is already promised. = & i i a ——— Belgian Minister May, villifying President Wil- gon's Mexicag policy to repay Huerta for helping him get a railroad concession, is important only as he illustrates the evil of the system of Gov- ernment by concessionaires, which President Wil- son has feelingly and justly denounced. a A — THE PEACE OF THE OHILDREN. “We will take care of our own dead,” was the grim response which union miners at first re- turned to offers of assistance after the frightful Christmas tree panic at Calumet. Fortunately the hostility between the factions in the Lake Superior copper district softened in the hours succeeding the calamity. Neither side to the controversy can claim a monopoly of the poor privilege of relieving,’ so far as material re- sources can, the suffering that will result at this inclement season in the doubly desolated region. Scores of. bodies are to be buried, orphans and half orphans are to be cared for and educated and stricken homes, already in want because of the strike, are to be maintained until the shadow of grief has passed. Mine owners and businéss men in sympathy with them offer almost unlimited contributions. If the strike is not settled now when all causes of friction are subordinated to the tragedy, when will it be settled? The death of these little children who perished so unnecessarily should at least have the effect of ending in this instance the wrong and injustice chargeable to the fero- cious tenacity with which each side pursues its own ends in bitterly contested industrial con- flicts. The war of the workers and the magnates at Galumet should terminate in the peace of the children. —— |} Kansas City wants a regional reserve bank. Tut, tut, Httle neighbor.

Cardinal Rampolla received 24 votes on the first ballot when only one was cast for Cardinal Sarto. This was seven in exeess of the number cast for Cardinal Serafino Vanutelli, his nearest competi- tor, and for several ballots this long lead was not only maintained but increased. When it began to look as though a deadlock were impending Cardi- nal Rampolla induced his nearly 30 supporters to transfer their votes to the Patriarch of Venice, and it waa in this way that Cardinal Sarto be- came Pius the Tenth. haps generally believed, that Cardinal Rampolla was defeated through the intervention of the Aus. trian veto, but this version of what happened has never received any official sanction and has bean repudiated by those who were in the best posi- tion to. know the facts.

It wag not signed» but it contained ample internal evidence of authenticity and ite writer described the inci- dent of the veto. He related how, at a certain stage of the proceedings, one of the Cardinals, an- nouncing that he had a communication to make, drew a paper out of his pocket and read a prief protest emanating from the Austrian Government, against the choice of Cardinal Rampolia, but he was very emphatic in asserting that this inter- vention did not influence the result, and he statea that after the veto had been read the Rampolia vote was increased. In the opinion of the better informed it wag not the Austrian veto that excluded the former gec. retary of state from the papal throne.

Yoakum, Frisco Railread director and member of the syndicates whose sale of independent lines to the Frisco at great profit was the subjéct of investigation by the Interstate Com- merce Commission a few weeks ago, is- sues a defense of the syndicates. “Those who participate in pioneering ventures are entitled to larger profits than the ordinary rate on funds invested in standard securities or business ventures,”’ Yoakum, This view {fs common among promo- ters of utility enterprises, the theory being that, since the possibility of loss }is gonsiderable, investors ought to be recompensed with larger return. The principal has governed the financing and exploitation of many public utili- ties, particularly those in new but grow- ing cities. Its error lies in the fact declares Mr. consumers an additional charge neces- sary to support the inflated value. , Such a principle is impossible in com- petitive business, as a general proposi- tion. In sporadic cases, to be sure, where there.are agreements for price maintenance, a business may be- sus- tained’ on a fictitious capitalization largely in excess of its actual invest- ment, but in most mercantile lines ‘| nothing of the kind ever occurs.

Escaping early from the ‘mfll— Well knowing that a miller’s son Would never cause a mortal thrill we entered London on the run. Here he concealed his origin, And thus escaped the blight of birth, As miller’s sons must do to win ' Respect and homage on this earth.

(Appleton.) THE LUCKIEST HUNTING STUNT. AVING falled to convince a good many readers of newspapers that he actually spent two months in the Maine woods without weapons om any of the means of civilization, Joseph Knowles has written a beok, “Alone In the Wilderness,” detailing his adventures, at the end of which he promises that he will, “in the near fu- ture,”’ conditions. that will leave no ground fo> disbelief. His book is worth while, as it contains a great deal more wood lore and nature sketches than did his newspaper story. And it is well fMlustrated. The boys and Young men. who. are unspoiled by city life will enjoy it. Incidentally _ it contains some good hunting aneo- dotes, one of which is called “The lLackiest Hunting Stunt.” Here it is, as told by Andrew Dougias, an old guide:' ; “It was back fmm the ol4 days of the muazzle-loading gun. One day I started out hunting ducks. I went down the j bank of a stream and after a while scared up a flock, which rose from the water and lit on the limb'of a tree I tried to get fnto position to make a clean sweep of them all, but couldn’t _geem to do it. So I went under the tree, and taking aim fired at the center of the limb on which the @ucks sat. “Of course, as the bullet sped through it split the limb, but before the ducks could fly away the split came together again, catching everyone of them by the toes. While they were fluttering and trying to get away I loaded up again and took aim at the butt of the /t6 the*tree: This shot cut repeat the experiments under 3 the limb off, and as it fell it ézosned. into the stream. “I rushed into the water after it, and finally caught it, with every duck sti!l attached. I sogged out of the water with about a score of fish in the seat of my pants, which had swum up the legs of my trousers. | “T remember, just as I made an extra high step to get a firm footing, one of my suspender buttons snapped off, buzzing away from me liko a bullet. A rabbit coming down to the stream to drink got the button right in the eye and it« killed him “That was my luckiest day in the way of hunting.” (Small, Maynard % Co.) re chaplain of Sing Sing prison, has written and published a book of 174 pages which he calls “Twenty Years in State’s Prison,’’ through a judicial blunder. It is a’recital of the case of Alfred Schwitofsky, “the story of an in- justice and a plea for justice.” The conviction of Schwitofsky and his sentence to 2 years in prison are de- clared by the author to have been a ju- dicial blunder by which an innocent man is made to suffer. Schwitofsky was convicted in New York of entering a dwelling and making e felonious assault. The crime of an- other is alleged to have been inflicted upon him because he had incurred the enmity of certain: police officials by threatening to complain to their su- periors of certain alleged irregularities on their part. The author proposes that a petition be presented to the Governor to appoint a judicial commission to re-try the case and everybody connected with it.. The book pleads for help in this -move- ment. The case ts gone into by the author with great care and diligence and he ar- raigns severely the persons he accuses of responsibility for the infliction of tn- fustioe on Schwitofsky and the’ judicial system which made it possible. 7 es “A JUDICIAL BLUNDER.” ABBI JACOB GOLDSTEIN, Jewish s ST TEXTBOOK. has brought forth a number of {important books about the subject. Many things coming from the press are tin favor of this idea which only a few years ago had only a few obscure ex- ponents. ; The latest addition to the literature on the subject comes in the form of a textbook by Jessie Wallace Hughan, Ph. D., under the title “The Facts of Socialism.” The book was really writ- ten at the request of the Socialist party because the need for a short, concise treatise of the subject was felt by So- cialists. Dr. Hughan has demonstrated her abil- ‘ity to treat the subject in an unbiased manner in her book “American Social- ism of the Present Day,” which ap- peared a short time ‘ago. The author has not declared herself an adherent of OCIALI T = growing interest in BSoctalistn.| Socialism, but her work has won favor THE BEST SELLERS. Following is‘: a summary of the St. Louis booksellers’ reports to the Post~- Dispatch on the best selling books of the past week. The leading book on the list is given six points, the next best‘is given five points, etc.: 1. “The Inside of the Cup,” Winston Churchill (McMillan), 2% points. — 2. “Laddie,” G. 8, Porter (Doubleday- Page), 15 points. 3. “The Woman Thou Gavest Me,” Hall Caine (Lippincott), 7 points. , 4. “Iron Trail,"” Rex Beach (Harper’s). 6 points. 6. ““T. Temberon,” Burnett (Century), 4 points. 6. “Polly Ann,” G. 8. Porter Cpe Cay-Page), 8 points. : among Socialists for her fair treat- ment of the subj In “The Facts of Socialism” the author gives a statement of the principles. She does not theorise. She gives the student an opportunity to form his own opinion of the subject after reading the book. Each chapter contains a bibliography to enable the reader to pursue the sub- fect further. There are also a series of questions at the end of each chapter which should prove helpful to the seri- ous student of the subject. The book may be used in connection with college classes. It is a book which will give a good understanding of the subject to anyone desiring to under- stand Socialism without going to the ponderous volumes of its originators. (John Lane.) “THE LARGER VISION.” * HE larger vision which A. R. Lam- 4i bert brings to the consideration of vital .gsubjects affecting human life is tinged with optimism. By ‘“‘the larger vision” he means, in fact, the out-and-out optimism which he has come to éspouse.. He undertakes to reveal God not as blind force making for righteousness, but as an all-wise an‘ loving heavenly father, who takes note of life from the beginning, making the amplest provision therefor. His treatment of various religious sub- jects ts in the sermon-lecture style. Through all there shines a cheery spirit and there is no mistaking the optimism that moves the man. He has put forth the small volume in the hope that others may catch this spirit. (Sherman, French & Co.) N Cornelius Vanderbilt commanded a’ steamboat and the first John Jacob Astor’s home stood on the site later used by the historic Astor House, and when the only “white lights” on Broadway were moonlight and starlight, the New York Chemical Manufacturing Co. obtainéd a New York State charter authorizing it to engage in the business of, banking. It opened, in —_ the first —_---— THE CHEMICAL BANK... INETY years ago, when the first bank on Broadway. Under seven presidencies ‘the Chem leal tias come sturdily down the map years, conspicuous always, and about equally, for ultra remarkably high divi- dends, its ultra-conservative banking methods and its ability to stand square ly and firmly upon its own feet, in good or evil times. The bank’s history, and something of the personal history of the men who made and maintained it. is told in a book of 170 Pages, privately printed. Fifty or more illustrations in- clude many views of old-time New York, examples of the pank’s early banknotes, portraits of its presidents and views of its new banking house. It was not until. 1832—nine years, after obtaining its charter—that the Chem- ical company subordinated the manu- facturing to the banking end of its busi- ness. Thereafter it became, and for more than a half century has continued to be, one of the most profitable insti- tutions in the whole history of bank- ing. Its dividend rate rose steadily un- til, in 1888, a dividend of 150 per cent was declared. The amount has been main- tained without change up to the present time, though the rate per share was of course changed when the capital was increased in 1907 from $300,000 to $3,000,- 000. The market valuation of the bank’s stock reached highwater mark—and set a record not equaled by any other big bank in America—when in April, 18%, two shares sold on the Real Estate Ex- change for $4900 per share, par value $100. In the book’s concluding cnapter, “Surrounding and Origin of the Chemi- cal Bank,” several pleasant anecdotes are told, and sidelights on the life of the Manhattanese in that early day are given, for contrast, with present condi- tions. For instance: “The Astor House was opened in 1836. The regular charge for room and board was $1.50, including four meals—break- fast at 8, dinner at 8, tea at 6 and sup- per at 9. The bill of fare contained all the delicacies of the season and was served in a most ample manner. A peep into the inner workings of the hotel re- vealed the most meager furnishings for the sleeping rooms—no carpet on the floors, a scanty supply of water, and no hot or cold baths at any price.” A LITTLE GIRL’S DREAM. é é ARY ELIZA’S WONDER Mi LIFE,” by Mrs. Ozoro 8B. Davis, is a volume of real fairy tales worth while, which, perhaps, might more properly bé called the day- dreams of a little girl. The little stories are just the things a child would do ane think, and portray the fanciful thoughts of a_e girl’s imagination if given a free rein to wan- der in the land of what she would like to have, and what she would like to be, if she had her choice. The volume is without pictures, but the word-pictures convey the thoughts so graphically in simple sentences that illustrations seem wholly unnecessary. It_is a relief from the many weird tales for children which are truly fiction and deal with the impossible. Mrs. Davis’ characters have the fas- cination of the fantastic, yet the hap- penings told of are the things every little girl dreams almost every day of her tempestuous childhood. (Sherman- French Co.). THE COLONELS ‘ HIS is a charming story for girls in the younger age, for it deals with the most interesting period of a young girl’s life. It is a story of a northern girl who visits relatives in Maryland, It shows how she is able to clear up a misunderstanding that dated back to the Civil War, and how she was able to reopen the home of her grandfather, a house to which no vis- itor had been welcomed for over forty years. After the house had been opend the Colonel gave his granddaughter en- tertainments to which the whole coun- try side was invited. A short love scena gives the story an interesting conclu- sion.—(Appleton.) O. Lawton, who occupies the chair of English in Lander College, pre- sents a.collection of. concise essays of high moral purpose, written in an ef- fective and graceful style touched with the charm of a certain poetic quality. The brevity of the essays will commend them. This feature is likely to be the more apprecidted because brevity is not one of the merits of persons who write essays of high moral purpose. The essays are in the main theodlogica! and also religious, which cannot be said of all theological writings. The mean- ing and mission of life are discussed in fresh, vigorous fashion. Most of the contents of the book have heretofore appeared in Southern Methodist publica- tions. (Sherman, French & Co.) “THE GREATEST OF THESE.” N “The Greatest of These,”’ Robert WHEN SAINTHOOD WAS IN FLOWER. ~ HE saints that are the subject of H. G. Henderson’s discussion are well-remembered heroes and hero- Ines of scriptural record, Daniel, Ro- becca, Joseph, Ruth, Jonah, Samson anid others. He does not confine himself to an analysis of the characters of these representatives of sainthood, but uses them rather as a basis for the citation of modern instances of sainthood along the same lines. His viewpoint is con- ventional and conservative. The book will be found suggestive and useful by ministers and other public speakers on religious subjects, providing very ade- quate materia] for discourses along sim- lar lines. (Sherman, French & Co.) FRESHMAN AT RIDGE, ' STORY of college life showing the characters of the different fresh- men by contrast. The hero, Clif Sterling, a remarkable football player, makes the team in his freshman year and plays the position eoveted by an- other. The other freshman, who comes to the college with a big reputation, also makes the team, but beth he and his friends think he should have the posi- tion that Stirling won. The friend con- trives a scheme te show that Stirling is a professional. He not only proves that that Stirling is not a professional, but that the schemer is dishonest. It culminates in the downfall and eviction Oe PTT of the schemers. (McKay Co.)

Om Schedule Makers to End Season on Oct. 4 CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—Work on the 1914 playing schedules of the Ameri- can and National leagues will begin Jan. 2 at French Lick, Ind. President B. B. Johngon of the American League received word today that President Dreyfus of the Pittsburg club and Secretary Heyd- ler of the National League would meet him at the Indiana resort on that day. Secretary Harridge of the American League will ac-- company Mr. Johnson. April 14 has been definitely agreed on as the date for opening the next season, but when the schedule can be completed is not s0 cer- tain. Oct. 4 will be the closing date if the regulation 14 games can be booked by then. ~Aithough the silence of the Federal League in the matter of reorganization for the coming season has had a de- pressing effect on those supporters of the national game who wanted to see the outlaws gain a foothold, indications are not wanting that the assembling of teams and other plans to go ahead for 1914 are under way. That one bona fide offer to a St. Louis player has been made very recently is known to the writer. OlHe O’Meara, who is going upto the majors next sea- son, has had an offer from the Pitts- burg Feds and turned it down, figuring that as he had his way to make, it would be better to string with the national agreement clubs. ; Chicago is busy arranging for a grand stand, and Ned Hanlon is going right on with work on his Baltimore club. St. Louis seems to be at a standstill, owing, #80 Dame Rumor says, to the failure of its financial backers to come through with the support needed. Many of the league’s friends think St. Louts will be a drag, rather than a help to the game, owing to the low ebb of in- terest in the Mound City support. Transportation Too Heavy. The chief argument being urged against the Federal League's existence under the semi-officilaily announced cir- cult, is the territory covered by the cir- cuit. From Kansas City to Baltimore is a far cry when it comes to hauling 16 to 20 men around. John T. Powers, the deposed president of the league and the man who organ- ized the original league, wanted to con- tract the territory covered by the or- ganization, instead of expanding it, be- cause of the transportation feature, Tt was because he wanted to cut off Kansas City and St. Louis and take in cities east of the Mississippi that he was sidetracked from the league. PO a il el i at tt i i i a a - —_—_—- Miller Huggins rushes to the reseve iF ape é } iy . : ii National League are already Among the points to be considered by the committee are the following: The “Intentional” pans. . Interference with the bataema by the catcher. The trapped ball. The baik rule. O’Day to the Rescue. ALKING the dangerous baiter at critical times is one proposition that cannot be properly restricted, it is feared. Nevertheless Hank O’Day, a member of the Rules. Committee, is in the limelight with the suggestion that the way to accomplish the result is to limit the width of the catcher’s box. O’Day figures that by making the box narrower the ball would necessarily be hurled near enough for the batsman to at least make an effort at it. No other suggestion made in this con- nection has been worth while consider- ing, as all compelled the umpire to decide when the pitcher was intentional- ly pitching wide and when not, A Peculiar Condition. NDER the present rules the catcher’s interference with a bats-' man is penalized by giving the hitter his base, the other runners retaining their old positions unless the bases were all occupied. The weakness of this system was shown in a game last season when, with a man on third getting ready to steal home or score on a squeeze play, the catcher cleverly tipped the batter's club in plain view of everybody, causing him to foul. The play, of course, sent the runner back to third, while the bat- ter trotted to first base, the privilege granted him for the interference of the catcher. But the almost certain score was prevented. In future it is proposed that all run- ners, when a catcher interferes with a batsrnan, shall advance a base. In this way killing the squeeze play in the man- ner described will not be permissible. That Balk Rule. HE trapped ball has always céused umpires worry, and a more specific definition of the play is desired. The balk rule change is asked because of a peculiar play that happened during the season when a flinger dropped the ball while winding up for the pitch. Under the National League rules the only way this play can be judged is to call it a balk, and let the runnefs advance @ bag. This is a palpable injustice, as the mis chance was not a ‘dalk’’ in the spirit of that term, and the ruling causes an unfair penalty against the pitcher. Cut Him Out of $50,000. CCORDING to Adolph Woilgast the “most unkindest cut of all” in hig taking under advisement plang to alter several playing rules of the national game. in my bouts. While I did not suffer pain in my side I felt the weakness there and had to usé extra caution in protcet- ing that side. But.I believe I am as strong as ever.” Quit kidding yourself, Adolph.

The decision was rendered against the stock brokerage firm of Hirsch, Lilienthal Co., in a suit brought by a customer, who alleged saat the firm sold out 100 Shares of railroad stock at a _ loss, contrary to his orders, greater than the margin he had put up on the stock. By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says: “After the usual nabit of the Stock Exchange, at the end of a week of suddenly rising prices, today’s market sold gradually off and ended at mod- erate net declines from yesterday. “It was again the rather noteworthy fact that activity in trading, which ina- to small dimensions on the downward movement. “The one marked exception to the movement of the day was New Haven stock, which advanced 2 points further, touching a figure of 12% points above its low level of two weeks ago. “Except for a decrease in cash hold- ings somewhat larger than had been anticipated, the weekly bank statement fairly met expectations. “On the actual week-end showing, loans expanded $1,700,000, while cash re- serves decreased nearly $7,000,000. The upshot was a decrease of $3,000,000 in the surplus. “Last year at this time the. strplus decreased only $1,700,000, but our market had then been taking gold from Lon- don. It has availed itself of no such recourse during the aoe on month, ‘Even with this week’s large reduc- tion, surplus reserves of. the banks in the clearing house, at $8,700,000, again considerably exceed the figures of the raga girs ya — in 1912 ‘or 1910, or mn any of the three years be innin with 1906." . . r “So far as concerned the field of news developments, the week ended with little o importance. “Foreign exchange advanced % cent, thereby perhaps suggesting what conceivably may happen after the turn of the year when currency will flow back to New York in quan- tity from the interior and when it may be a solution of Europe’s linger- ing embarrassments for our banks, then in a comfortable position, to send out gold to the French or BPnglish market. “The Bank of England, reporting today because Thursday and Friday were bank holidays at London, showed a decrease of $11,600,000 gold, an increase of $44,500, 000 in’its loans and therefore a heavy fall in its ratio of reserves. “All three changes are natural in- cidents or the approaching year end, but ali are larger than in this week of 1912, when gold holdings deceraes“ iy 700, eee’ and loans expanded only 13,000,600. “But the 43% per cent ratio of re- serve, which is still maintained, ex- ceeds with one earepyten that of every other year since 1 —_ ~~ —- “| DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S WALL STREET TRANSACTIONS NEW YORK, Dec. 27.
