BATH CONGRESS OPENED; BUDGE! $1,258 850 000 Both Branches Adjourn After Organization and Appoint- ment of Committees to Wait on President, Who Will Read His Message to Joint Session Tomorrow. CROWD GATHERS AT THE CAPITOL EARLY Speaker Clark Predicts That Time Is Near at Hand When National Legislative Body Will Be in Virtually Continuous Session. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Congress re- assembled at noon today for what prom- des to be the most important and his- toric session of a generation. Proceedings in both House and Sen- ate were brief, being confined entirely to organization and formal introduction of some bills and resolutions. In ac- cordance with custom, both soon ad- journed and sent a committee to formal- ly notify President Wilson that Con- gress was in session. Tomorrow the real work of the ses- sion will begin when President Wlison delivers bis annual address to a joint session assembled in the hall of the House. Speaker Clark was re-elected and sworn in amid cheers from the floor and galleries. In the Senate the organ- ization was perfected by the re-clection of Senator Clarke of Arkansas as pres- ident pro tempore. Vice President Mar- shall was not in the chair for the open- ing, being detained at Indianapolis by the illness of his wife. 92 In his opening address to the House the Speaker paid tribute to Republican Leader Mann and predicted a practical- ly continuous session hereafter. . Speaker Clark’s Remarks. 1 am profoundly grateful to you at the high honor of the speakership, thrice conferred by your friendship and partiality,” he said. I thank the Dem- ocrats for their personal good will, which has attended me all my days here. By reason of the amasing growth of our beloved country and the bewil- dering increase of business, the time is in sight when the Congress will re- maln practically in perpetual session. I hope this Congress will go into history as a working Congress.” The Senate floor and gallery presented the usual scene. James M. Baker, the Secretary, called the seusion to order, and the chaplain prayed for Divine guid- ance for the preservation of *peate at home and its restoration abroad. Thirty-two newly elected Senators then were sworn in. Each was escorted by his colleague. The vote on the speakership was 221 to 1%, with six members voting present.

DECEMBER UP TO $1.13% May Tops $1.18%—Price and Associates Expect to Recover Losses in Corn. Come traders made big profits in wheat on the Merchants’ Exchange to- day, when under an avalanche of buy- ing orders at the openings prices on options recorded high records on the crop. December wheat sold at $1.13% compared with Saturdays close at $1.11%. May rose to $1.18%, against $1.14. Since last Monday, when the Canadian Government commandeered bushels of wheat in Canadian elevators. prices have mounted 16 cents per bushel. T. E. Price, head of T. E. Price & Co.; Thomas P. Lehy of the same firm, and Dennis J. Canty, who last week lost between them nearly $100,000 by being short specuiating in May corn, when it reached a 12-cent advance, are credited by traders with having made large profits on th? rise in wheat. Price Making Morey. Price told a Post-Dispatch “reporter that he was long a big line of wheat, and said he expected to more than make back his loss in corn, which was esti- mated by a member of the firm at 360, 000. Lahey's loss on corn was $10,000 and Canty’s $20,000. Oscar Lamy, E. B. Immer, J. M. Fuller and other well- known traders are credited with having made good profits on the advance in wheat. The position in William Lanyon, and grain dealer, the wheat market of wealthy mine owner of 4440 Lindell boule- vard, is causing much speculation on ‘change. Lanyon was credited 10 days ago with holding contracts on more than 1,000,000 bushela of December whea. bought between $1 and $1.03, an amount which practically gave him control of all the wheat in St. Louis elevators, ‘Yast Gy of” wm the option become imperative, Wheat Shipped Here.

Cornwall, Liberal member for the Northeast Division of Bethnal Green, that an intimation be sent to Henry Ford and William Jen- nings Bryan that their proposed peace mission to this country would be “‘irri- tating and unwelcome” at the present time, drew the response from Lord Rob- 20,000,000 ert Cecil, Parliamentary Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, that as the pass- ports of the members of the peace mis- sion only had been issued for neutral countries, the contingency contemplated by Sir Edwin did not arise. Not Wanted tn England, A rapid bombardment of questions came from different parts of the House inviting the Undersecretary, seeing that these people left amid a storm of ridi- cule, “that he convey to them in what- ever neutral country they find them- selves the intimation that they are not wanted here at any time.” Lord Robert Cecil parried the ques- tions, saying: “Speaking for myself, I think it ena be in the highest degree undignified for! the Government of this country to send any intimation to a lot of ladies -and kentlemen who, whatever their merits may be, are of no particular import- ance.“ Discussion of the subject. closed in laughter aroused by Will Crook, Labor member for Woolwich, who asked: “If they have the right of asylum here, can we certify them to be insane?“ FORD PARTY NOT KEEN TO FOLLOW HIM TO GERMANY} 5 : Envoys’ Enthusiasm Tempered by Visions of Inspecting In- teriors of Kaiser’s Jails.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 3.—Women suf- frage workers, undismayed by defeat in Eastern states last month or by the fail- ure of the last Congress to grant equal suffrage, took their fight again today to the National Capital. The Susan B, Anthony amendment, in- troduced and -defeated.for many years, was introduced again today in the House | if it is found. by Representative Mondell of Wyoming. A demonstration by suffragists of many states, including a parade to the cap- itol, preceded the introduction. The petition for equal suffruge brought by’ Mrs. Sara Hard Field of Oregon, and Miss Frances Joliffe by motor from California, was lost at the last moment. It was about 18,000 feet long and bore approximately 0,0 names of voters in suffrage states. An- other petition, however, containing sev- eral thousand names of voters in non- suffrage states, was presented to Repre- sentative Mondell on the east steps of the capitol and the original will be given It disappeared somewhere between here and Wilmington, Del., from which city it was shipped by ex- press.

Today, before the terrible obstacle which confronts _ them, justice and liberty haye only one road—that which our nation in arms opens to them with the machine gun and cannon.”’ The declaration of M.

ALTON STEEL PLANT PURCHASED Laciede Company of St. Louis Gets It After Foreclosure. The Laclede Steel Co. of St. Louis has purchased the plant of the Alton Steel Co. at Alton, III., which went into the hands of a receiver 18 months ago and was sold under foreclosure pro- ceedings to H. C. Fownes of Pittsburg’ N. L. Mosler, secretary of the old Al- ton company, today confirmed the re- port of the sale of the Alton plant, but declined to announce the price. The plant cost about $1,260,000 at the time it was built three years ago. Fownes paid $625,000 for the plant at the foreclosure sale. The Laclede com- pany is believed to have paid an ad- vance upon this price. It is reported that the plant will be opened shortly after the first of January and about 400 men employed manufacturing steel hoops and steel billets.

MORE TO WIN, SAYS CHINESE REBELS CAPTURE CRUISER BUT ARE REPELLED About Forty Board the @hao-Ho by Ruse, Fire on Arsenal and Warships. SHANGHAI, Dec. 6—Three outbreaks bs small bands of rebels within the las 24 hours have been put down by the au- thorities, who now apparently have the situation well in hand. The cruiser Chao-Ho, seized yesterday afternoon by 40 men who boarded her by a ruse from a launch, was aban- doned by the rebels early today after the ship had been shelled and set on fire. It was reported at first that the crew of the Chao-Ho had mutinied, but it developed today that the bombard- ment by the cruiser of other warships and the arsenal was carried on under compulsion from the rebels, who sur- rrised and overpowered the crew. Thre? men on the cruiser were killed and five wounded. An attack from land on the arsenal at midnight was repulsed quickly after dome rifle firing. The third outbreak occurred at 4 o'clock this morning. A party of 30 or 40 rebels attacked the Chapel subpolice station, throwing bombs which killed one policeman and injured three. The cutlaws were dispersed by troopg. The rebels were unable to make use of the heavier guns as an officer of the Chao-Ho threw overboard the keys to the magazines containing the six-inch and the four-inch shells. His action probably saved the arsenal and the for- eign settlement from serious damage. Numerous shots fell in the foreign con- ceasions, but no serious harm was done.

Attorney Laughlin called on Circuit Attorney Harvey Friday and asked that an information be issued against Bon- tle Becker, a member of the firm.

Circuit Judge Grimm, in hie instruc- tions to the December grand fury to- day. called attention to the fact that in the last 11 months more than 99 per- sons have been killed by automobiles in St. Louis. He did not know, he said, how many of these deaths were due to carelessness of drivers, but thought the frequency of such accidents demanded consideration. If a person was killed through the culpable negligence of another, he point- ed out, it was manslaughter in the fourth degree and could be punished by imprisonment in the. venitentiary or i> jail or by fine and imprisonment.

It was doubtiess true, the Judge said. that petit juries in many cases had shown too great leniency, but this, he said, should not deter the grand jury from indicting all who violate the stat- utes relating to drivers of automobiles. The grand jury was also instructed to | continue the investigation begun by the October grand jury into the conduct of city employes and employes of the Sher- It's office. Persons in public office, he said, should be held to the etrictest ac- countability.. The conduct of city and State employes should be investigated thoroughly, he said, and if the evidence justified they should be indicted.

BIG BRITISH CRUISER SEEN IN GULF NEAR GALVESTON Belief Is That She In Wailtieg te else Ship Leden With Cottea, GALVESTON, Tex., Dec. 6—A Brit- ish crulser steamed slowly along Galves- ton's gulf front for several hours yes- terday, remaining just beyond the three- mile limit. Shortly after noon the cruls- er put on full steam and disappeared east ward. The signal corps at Fort Gan Jacinto signalled the man-of-war and asked her identity, receiving the reply: “A regie- tered British crulser.” The opinion prevails that this was the same cruiser which has been reported in the gulf for several days and which is throught to be waiting for the departure of the steamer Ausable, formerly the Dutch steamer Laura, recently changed to American registry. The Ausable is loaded with cotton and her owners re- cently announced she would sail for a Danish port. It is said that the British Government alleges the Ausable was purchased with German money and has threatened tv seize her as soon as she leaves Ameri- can waters. Bread.

— 1S ABOVE PARTY, Former Presidents, Governors, College Heads , and Others Unanimous in Opinion That Question of Preparedness Should Be Studied and Dealt With by Congress Without Re- gard to Politics—Few Republicans Who Think Otherwise, Condemned. j The Post-Dispatch publishes today a collecttion of views of leading men as to whether ‘‘preparedness’’ transcends party lines. The opinions of both the living former Presidents of the United States, of former Ambassadors, of Governors, of presidents of the leading universi- ties and colleges and of men of big business are given. The unanimity of their views is unusual. All agree that ‘‘preparedness’’ is the parämount issue of today and that it is in no sense a party question. They urge that in its consideration by Congress, pratisanship ‘be put aside and that the plans for national defense be studied and acted upon from the broad viewpcnit of Americanism.. Even Col. Theodore Roosevelt, keenly critical as he is of President Wilson, urges the members of the Progressive party, as well as Democrats and Republicans, to lay aside all party feeling and affiliations and co-operate in an effort to secure the most adequate defense and the greatest good for the nation. The attempt of a few Republicans in Congress to make a party issue of “preparedness,” does not meet with the approval of the real leaders of the various political parties. These leaders frankly express their vigor- ous disapprobation. Inquiries Put te Public Men. This telegram was sent by the Post-Dispatch and the New York Worlg to a selected list of men ot prominence, whose views are of real value on a matter of this character; “De you belleve that the ques- tien of national preparedness is one that transcends party lines? “Do you not think that both Republicans and Democrats ghould put aside all partisanship in seeking a solutidn of the prob- lem confronting the nation?” The responses were prompt and to the point. In none of these answers was there any evasion or equivoca- tion. FORMER PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT: I emphatically believe that the question of national prepared - ness is one that transcends party lines. 1 think that both Republicans and Dem- berats, as well as Progressives, should put aside partisanship In the matter and that Congress should reject the utterly inadequate measures, not even half measures, set forth in the President's Manhattan Club speech and should give & génuine measure of preparedness by providing, not within five years but at once, a navy that will make us the sec- ond naval power in the world; by secur- ing such reorganization of the navy as will prevent a repetition of such fright- ful mishandling of the navy as that which caused it to deteriorate probably % per cent in efficiency during 1913 and 1914; by securing provision at once for a professional army of at least 260,000 men, | an army which, relatively to the popu- lation of the United States would be no bigger than the police force of New York ip relatively to the population of the City of New York. “We should abandon at once. the at- tempt to create an inefficient volunteer force, such as the so-called continental army or any similar organization, which will only be an inefficient rival of the National Guard. We should put back of the regular army a real reserve of trained troops. We should provide for a very large increase of officers; and, fin- ally, in my judgment, we should work steadily toward the only thoroughly adequate and proper system for a de- mocracy, the system of universal prepa. ration by universal service on the lines of the plans successfully applied in the democracies of Switzerland and ceed with deliberation in adopting adequate measures for self-protec- tion, CHARLEMAGNE TOWER, former Ambassador to Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary: Unquestionably the Government of the United States ought to be prepared to protect the rights and the integrity of the American people against all contingencies. The history of the country points to this, and all our traditions as 4 nation confirm it. I am strongly impressed, however, with the necessity’ of systematic procedure in that direction. If danger threatens us, it is natural it should be ascertained and that plans looking toward the de- fense of the country should be built upon a thorough foundation and in such & manner as to be carried out immedi- ately and effectively, when the occasion presents itself. I think this is the aim of all loyal Americans, without regard to politics or creed. We must not give way suddenly to misdirected agitation, but must be preparea to fulfill our duty a6 4 great power, whenever the occa- sion arises. Careful foresight and thor- ough system are to me the indispensable condition of national defense. EFFINGHAM n. MORRIS, lawyer and financier, chairman Cambria Steel Co., Philadelphia: The efforts of the National Security League seem to me to indicate clearly, conservative- ly and effectively what the attitude of the country should be in preparing for adequate defense. H. B. LEDYARD, ratiroad presi- dent and banker, Detroit: No more vital matter can come before Congress than the proper organization and in- crease of the regular army and navy of the United States, including a reserve force. In the solution of this problem the truest interests of the country de- mand that political partisanship be ab- selutely set aside. 1 FREDERICK R. COUDERT, emi- neut authority on international law: National defense obviously transcends party lines and is a question in regard to which, in principle, Americans should not differ. Unfortunately some poli- ticians of all shades will endeavor to use the issue to further personal am- pitions. The public should have all the reports of the general staff and the va- rious consulting boards and experts of the army and navy 80 that they may form an adequate opinion of what may ‘be necessary to guarantee America against the danger of war. When this information has beer’ laid before the public, it fy the duty of every American Citizen to stand behind a proper. pro- gram, regardless of any consideration other than the welfare of the country. WILLIAM E. CHANDLER, former Secretary of the Navy and United States Senator from New Hampshire: I do not believe there should be any fever over preparedness for war. Our mation should make haste slowly as originally taught by President Wilson end small farmers who, ve all, in- sisted on universal military Servi. Col. Roosevelt BLIC MEN} and Secretary Daniels.

Cn all these ques- tions President Wilson's deliberate d- vice should have great weight. for thoughtful men of both parties, because he and his party have solemnly pledged themselves to the vital principle that no President shall be elected more than once. When he acts under this prin- ciple, his advice will be almost con- trolling with me, although I have been an inveterate voter since 1856. LAFAYETTE YOUNG, editor of the Des Moines (tIo.) Capital, former United States Senator and one of the most influential Republicans in that State: Every member of Congress should vote to protect and defend the United States. Partisanship should be forgotten. The man who puts his party ketore his country is unworthy of a seat in Congress. GEORGE W. PERKINS, banker and |= State committeeman from New York of the Progressive party: Most cer- tainly the question of party lines should be put aside in deciding the question of national preparedness. 3 We are just as unprepared for peace as we are for war. We may not have war at arms; we are certain to hays war in industry, We have no modern, up-to-date weapons of defense for war at arms; neither have we any modern, up-to-date weapons of defense for war in industry. We have no stable, *well-de- fined, modern, forward-looking policy on which large interstate and international business corporations of this country can legally do business. Our tariff is made on a political and not a scientific basis Our merchant marine is a joke. So long as these conditions continue, we are pre- vented from embracing the greatest op- portunity ever offered to any nation to acquire and hold foreign trade. In ad- dition to this, we are exposed to the greatest period of industrial depression and further loss of trade when this war shall have closed. No Congress that ever assembled has such an oppor- tunity for broad, constructive work and the country needed ſt se sorely as it does now. .

Frederick Grewe, 60 years old, who was shot in the abdomen, in his saloon at 4428 North Broadway, late Saturday night in the attempted robbery of the place by two youthful robbers, died at the ‘city hospital at 10:30 last night. Michael McCarthy, 30 years old, a one- armed man, was also shot and killed by the robbers. | Seven men held by the police of the North Market Street Station in connec- tion with the killings were released |this morning, when Mrs. Louise Grewe, wife of the saloon keeper, and George J. Schneider, bartender in the place, failed to identify any of them as having been in the place on the night of the shooting. Because of the meager de- scriptions of the men given by Schneider and Mrs. Grewe, who were in the bar- room when the men entered and who witnessed the shooting, the police say they have little hope of apprehending the robbers. A revolver was found on a shed in an alley through which the men fled after the shooting and was turned over to the police. Two of the chambers of the re- volver contained exploded cartridges. Mrs, Grewe told the police she thought the men who shot her husband and Mc- Carthy were joking when they entered apn demanded that Grewe and the bar- tender hold up their hands. After her husband was shot he ran to their rooms” above the saloon, Mrs. Grewe said. She followed and found he had been shot. He returned to the saloon a few minutes later, thinking he was not seriously hurt, and collapsed. Schneider said he th nt the robbers were joking when they entered and laughed at them when they ordered him to hold up his hands.

Before the evening performance it has been the custom of Spear and Castanis to go to an unused dressing room under the stage and box and wrestle. After the shooting Spear told the police he and Castanis were wrestling when his foot accidentally struck the rifle, which was standing against the wall. The weapon was discharged and Castanis fell. Spear ran for a doctor who hurried to the theater, but found Castanis was dead. At the Newstead Avenue Police Sta- tion Spear said both he and Castanis kept rifies at the theater to shoot rats. He could not identify the rifle with which Castanis’ was shot as his. He said he was under the impression his riile had been stolen and the one which remained in the dressing room belonged to Castanis. WOMEN TEACHERS OBJECT TO EXAMINING DOCTOR BEING MAN Six Hundred and Sixty in Atlanta Threaten to Strike Because of Educatien Board’s Order. ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 6.—Six hundred and sixty women teachers of Atlanta are threatening to strike if the Board of Education persists in its announced in- tention of forcing a physical examina- tion of them by Dr. W. N. Adkins, a young physician, head of the medical in- spection department. The examination will include tests of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, heart and lungs. All the teachers will be required to remove their clothing from the waist up. Dr. Adkins said he had no option in the matter, but that a sheet might be wrapped about the body if desired. One young woman who has recently been examined for life insurance asked if this examination would be accepted and was told that it would not. The City Council, it is understood, will take the 4 matter up. 0 Mrs. E. W. pattison Became In- terested in Work After Husband’s Hearing Became Impaired. Mrs. Everett W.

MEZES of the College of the City ef New York: 1 hope and Progres- sives will put aside all partisanship tn dealing with and arranging for national e The question far tran- ascends party lines. GEORGE W. KIRCHWEY, Dean of Columbia University: I am strongly of the opinion that the question of rea- patriotism and common sense, and hot of party politics. While I personally believe that the present agitation is the fruit of panic and has no justification in the actual facts of the international situation, I also recognize that prepara- tion for possible.contingencies is proper und necessary. What this should be will depend on a far-sighted consideration of our national policy with respect to other nations. If this is to be one of fear and suspicion, there will be no limit to the armed forces we shall re- temptation to mix in the rivairies and ambitions of other powers, we can af- ford to go quietly to work to get and keep our own house in order. JOHN GRIER HIBBEN of Prince- ton University: I am strongly of the opinion that the problem of national preparedness as it essentially concerns the whole nation should be solved with- CHARLES S. WHITMAN, Governor ically YES, to both questionz. FRANK T. WILLIS, Governor of Ohio: Any program for preparedness which relegates the National Guard or- ganizations to the rear is fore lou. ned to failure. The National Guard of the United States is made up of trained men, many of whom hav e given years io the service. This s * organiza- tion should be strengthened and made the second line of defense. Ohio is proud of it smilitary organization, perfected through years of effort, aud will not consent to have it obliterat:d. DAVID I. WALSH, Gevernor of Maseachusetta: This question of na- tional preparedness is a patriotic and not a party question. Both Democrats and Republicans should settle this prob- lem as Americans and not as partisans. PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, Governer of Maryland: The atestion of preparedness is one of patriotism and not of party. I therefore feel that while parties may differ as to methods, they cannot do so as to purposes. I am an adherent of adequate national defense to be accomplished without unnecessary delay. R. M. LIVINGSTONE BEEKMAN, Governor of Rhede Isiand: 1 con- sider preparedness a national question and not one for the advancement of any political party, but rather one for the safety of every citizen and the se- curity of his property. H. C. STUART, Governor of Vir- ship in the consideration of the my Mind the conservative program out- lined by the President should afford standing ground, at least for the pres- ent, for all elements of political par- ties. CHARLES R. MILLER, Governor of Delaware: Military and naval prepar- edness is the most important question now before the country. It should re- ceive immediate attention and lberal on other national issues. Failure at this time to provide complete and adequa * means for the protection of that hef- itage which came to us untarnished from our forefathers will be a crime Against Christian civilization and the W. 8. HAMMOND, Governer of Min- menotas Citizens believing the wel- fare of the country of more importance than the advancement of a political party will, in my judgment, hold qués- tions of preparedness partisan. Pa- war-loving brothers, but, in considera- tion of preparedness, all should ask what is dest for the country and not what is best for 4 political party. . i. PHILLIPS, Governor of Wis- consin: Better preparedness for na- tional defense is a public necessity and should not be made a party question in Congress. I would oppose the creation of an army so large that it would mean militarism, in the sense that it has ex- isted in Europe. However, we should have an increased army, ready for im- mediate service. That can be done by reasonable increase of our standing army and by proper encouragement by the United States Government of state military organizafions. Our Washing- ton Government should adopt a broad American policy and be entirely just in its relations with all belligerent na- tions. Such a policy should receive the support of the American people regard- leas of party affiliation. JAMEG B. MeCREARY, Governor of Kentucky: I believe the question of national preparedness is one that transcends party lines and I am sure that both Republicans and Democrats should put aside all partisanship in seek- ing a solution of the problem confront- Our country is not at present prepared as it should be, ac- gta: I believe that the question of national preparedness is of paramount importance and oUght to appeal to all sonable preparedness for war is one of | quire.

GEORGE w. . HUNT, Governet of President in holding that no political protection and peace for the nation. WOODBRIDGE N. FERRIS, Gever- nor ef Michigan: The question of na- tional preparedness ‘transcends party lines. It should be impossible, in con- sidering this question, for members of Congress to classify themselves as Democrats or Republican. Real patriot- ism surpassed party allegiance. National preparedness is for all of the people all the time. : JOHN B. KENDRICK, Governor of Wyoming: The necessity of making adequate provision for national defense should be apparent to all. Partisanship ‘should not be allowed to hinder or em- barrass the enactment of necessary leg- | { lsiation, therefore. PARK TRAMMELL, Geverner of Florida: I ‘believe adequate prepared- ness for national defense is a matter of vital importance to the nation as & whole, and not a party matter at this time. Political parties might differ as to the program to be followed, but for the present I believe the question too big and too vital fer becoming @ bone of It is evident that the people of the | United States, or a majority of them, feel that the nation at this time is not beyond what is necessary for def as the lesson en militarism is ,lainly before us. CHARLES WINSLOW GATES, Gov- ernor of Vermont: The question of national preparedness is the greatest problem that now confronts us, and our representatives at Washington, Demo- erat or Republican, Progressive or non- partisan, should realise it and act with- out party prejudice, and with but the ultimate good of all in view, BARL BREWER, sissippi: I think the question of na- patriotic citizen should feel is larger than party partisanship aui he should stand by the President as a patrioctis citizen and uphold his hands.

Dis 0 JEFFERSON CI „Dec. 6.—In a brief filed by his calls winx: before the Public Service Commission today opposing the reorganization plan of the Frisco rail- road, B. F. Yoakum charges that the misfortunes encountered by the road which resulted finally in the receiver- ship were due entirely to the bad fin- ancing of Speyer & Co. and Seligman & Co., the two firms most prominent in the reorganization scheme and which have been named as the reorganization managers. The brief dodanie that Yoakum built the property up and the New York fin- anciers wrecked it. The brief of the re-organizers also was filed today by Judge H. 8. Priest, attor ney for the receivers, and B. T. Swaine, attorney for the New York flanviers. It contends that an analysis of objections to the plan shows them to have been without merit. The question of wheth- er the fixed capital of property would be mereased or diminished by the re-organ- ization plan is carried into the briefs. Counse! for Yoakum show that the in- debtedness against the Frisco property is increased by $32,000,000. Counsel for the re-organizers explain that by relin. quishing the C. & E. I., the N. O. T. & M. and the New Orleans Terminal, whose outstanding obligations aggregate $€1,,000,000, the total is reduced by §29,- 000,000, They maintain that these roads must still be carried as an obligation by the Frisco because their bonds are guar- anteed by the Frisco. “This property,” says the Yoakum brief referring to the Frisco system, 10 the creation of Benjamin F. Yoakum, a big strong man mentally and physi- cally, born in Texas, not indeed to the Tyrian purple, but starting with nothing and making his way by his own ef- forts.’’ “Referring to the charge by Frederick Strauss made on the witness stand that Yoakum wanted to be made chairman of the board under the reorganization plan, the brief continues: Can it be wondered at that, after the misfortunes of this company, occurring while he was in control of its opera- tions, but due solely to bad financing. first by Seligman and afterwards by Speyer, after he bad worked faithfully and diligently for over two years, en- tirely without compensation, in the ef- fort to rehabilitate this property and he put it upon a sound financial basis, he should have had a not unnatural desire to be continued in some important ca- pacity with an enterprise with which he has been 80 long and so closely identi- fied. But, say some, untruly because these lesser matters do not determine the fate of great enterprises, he was the man that was responsible for the misfortunes of this road. It is not go."

GREECE INVESTIGATES REPORT OF ATTACK ON AMERICAN SHIP Destroyer Sent to Vicinity of Wire- less Call for Help Received in Athens on Saturday. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Greece has officially informed the United States Government that a destroyer had been sent to investigate a wireless call picked up at Athens Saturday saying an Amer can ship was being attacked by a sub- marine south of Crete. The name of the ship was not made out by the wire- less receiver. The American naval collier Caesar, | mentioned in press dispatches as having been in the vicinity from which the call for help came, reported her safe arrival at Alexandria to the Navy Department last night. The cruiser Des Moines, on her way to Cyprus, probably was near the scene, but navy officials attach no tmportance to the suggestion that she might have sent out the call.

BOLISHING baseball would sure- ly settle the baseball end of the proposition, in colleges. But what of the other sports? The college boy may now play pro- fessional baseball and earn his tui- tion; but is he to be barred from golf or football, because he has be- come a professional baseball man? And if it is so decided by the Con- ference Athletic Board, will it not be equally difficult to prove the case against the unfortunate guy? . Be reasonable, Mike, or, we should say professor. Let this professionalism ban stop at the sport in which the gentle- man professionalizes himself. Because he happens to be professional in one sport doesn't necessarily make him so in another. N The broad definition of a professional is: “One who makes his living by em- ploying his knowledge or skill at a per- ticular branch of sport.“ The college boy usually makes his beard for the summer, as we get it, out of baseball, which is the ‘'particular branch of sport” referred to here. And for this he is barred not only from baseball but from all other sports on the college calendar, whether he can play them or not.

COLLEGE COACHES. DISAGREE AS TO BARRING BASEBALL Stagg Defends Abolition of the Game in Big Nine, Murphy and Huff Oppose It. CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—Dropping baseball from the list of “Big nine!“ sports would, in the opinion of A. A. Stagg, athletic director at the University of Chicago, uphold amateurism in college athletics. He believes that by aban- doning the game colleges will cease to have an attraction for men interested primariiy in that one branch of athletics to the exclusion of their studies and other sports. A movement ti abolish baseball will take away the great masse of men w perjure themselves to retain their amateur standing, Stagg said today. Those in favor of permitting summer baseball have brought up this argument, and if it is true, it means that most of the per- jury is done by men who play IJ. As only a comparatively small number ball men compete in other up the branch is not expected the other sports. The ruling to abolish baseball, as was threatened at a meeting with the Western conference here Saturday, was received with é@isfavor of Coach Leader Murphy of North- western University. Murphy was a former Yale captain and star performer in football and baseball. „The dropping of baseball does not elim!- nate trouble with professionalism, except as it applies to the single branch of baseball, Coach Murphy said. George Huff, athletic director of the Uni- versity of Tlltmois, is opposed to abol- ishing the sport. Maupome Wrests Second Place From Kieckhefer, in Three-Cushion Race Pierre Maupome, playing for Peterson in the Interstate Three-Cushion League, moved into second place, passing August Kieckhefer. who made a dae of his title match with Alfredo de Oro. However, in- asmuch as De Oro ran 150 points in 148 in- nines, there's no reflection on Kieckhefer. But Maupome is runner-up to Charles Me- Court of Pittsburg. eccording to the latest Interstate standings. Maupome plays George Feiton of Boston at Peterson's Thursday evening. while Bob Cannerfax wil! tackle Joe Stone of New York at the Rex Wednesday night. — — — — Official A. L.

There were few vacant seats in the boxes, the parquet or the balcony. The program began with Zach's own “Oriental March,“ a tuneful and vigor- ous composition, which pleased its hear- ers so much that part of it was repeat- ed. The orchestra's playing of Delibes’ Overture to “Le Roi L’a Dit“ earned an encore, which was Gillet’s pretty “la Lettre de Manon.” Even more successful was a fine performance of orchestral selections from Puccini's Madame Butterfly,” and as an encore Drigo's Serenade“ was beautifully played. Rachmaninoff’s Prelude,“ Opus 3, No. 2, which is a prime favorite at the pop“ concerts, received an eloquent perform - ance, But the ‘“plzzacato ostinato” Scherzo from ‘Tschaikowsky’s Fourth Symphony, whether it was because it suffered by removal from its context or for other reasons, was considerably less effective than when played with the complete symphony at the regular con- certs two weeks ago. The program closed with the Strauss waltz, The Blue Danube,“ given at the request of admirers of this popular composition. The soloist was Ridgely Hudson, ten- or, of Springfield, Ill. His aria, “Che Gelida Manina, from “La Boheme,” wave the orchestra a chance to play some more of Puccini's music. Direr- tor Zach played the accompaniments to ia group songs at the plano. The au- dience liked the soloist well enough to ask for and obtain an encore.

By Leased Wie From the New York Bureau "a> Post-Dispatch. NEW TORK, Dec. 6.— The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- ew, today, sa says: “The week opened with decided activ- ity on the Stock Exchange, though the pace slackened considerably after the firet hour or two. Movement of prices continued upward, with a number of substantial advances. But the relation news or rumors of the day was peculiar. “To the controversy between the Ger- man embassy and our Government, the Stock omer seemed to pay no at- tention. It give a great deal of notice to reports as to what the Presi- dent will recommend in his message to Congress, and the assertion that a com- mission of inquiry into the needs of the railways will be advocated, held the foremost place in the day's discussions. The stocks which advanced most sharply, however, were not the railwa shares, but the industrials—on whic the message to Congress can hardly have any Bin scesong bearing. cure Seling Stocks, “This fact gave the impression that the day’s early market was in- fluenced more by readjustment of speculative accounts than by specific news or rumor. There also remained the continuing influence o fthe Euro- peas selling of American ghares still foreign hands, which means for — most part railroad issues, Noth- | of the apprehension, which pre- led a year ago, regarding the — of such liqul ation, exists ; on the whole, aa feeling of street seems to be that the sooner these foreign holdings shai: have come back to us the better. “But naturally, the process hag. a 9 influence on prices, espe- clally when so much obscurity sur. rounds the purposes of the London financial authorities regarding the ee args of such holdings. “If the Government ts actually ac- quiring those shares from English investors, for the purpose of future use as collateral ioe loans (this has been one report) the prospective ressure of liquidation would be to hat extent reduced, But the actual program seems not to be at all clear, even to financial London. Meantime the remrakable reports of earnings continue. Of today’s batch of total Kross earnings for November, on a number of important lines, mostly in the West, all but one or two broke all records for the month. “In the closing hour, the railway shares again assumed the leadership in activity and strength, and a number of noteworthy advances occurred. This movement was entirely based on expec- tations regarding the President's mes- gage; though a good deal of attention was also paid to the full statements of gross earnings for November, most of which broke all records for the month.“ “Exchange on Berlin held firm today, at a slight advance over last week's closing rate, which was half a cent above the week's low figure. Sterling also was somewhat higher: but the rate on London still 5 * to revolve around what may be the ‘pegged price’ of the bankers’ syndicate, somewhere in the neighborhood of 4.70. “Italian exchange, however, moved rather decidedly against the Italian market, touching today the most unfa- vorable figure yet reached.

This year the future situa- tion is absolutely reverséd.
