No considerable appropriation, he said. was made for heavy artillery until 1916. Appropriations in precediiig years, he said, were ‘‘absolutely in- adequate.”’ Machine guns, Gen. Crozier said, were never expected to become such mans, realizing better than anyone about to close for Wack of fuel. Do- mestic supplies, too, are low.

Plans for raising the pay of the k and file of railway workers and uting some of the very high sala- paid to executive officials were iscussed today at a conference be- ween Director-General McAdoo and e Federal Board of Mediation and else their great future, proceeded to obtain them in quantity. Turning to the charges that prej- udice had kept the Lewis gun out of American equipment, Gen. Crozier detailed the official records of the department. Lewis Gun Testimony. The first offer, to his knowledge, was received May 2, 1912, when the Automatic Arms Co. asked for a spe- cial test. The correspondence showed that the Ordnance Board of- fered a regular test with ammuni- tion furnished by e Government. No test followed, but, on March 6, 1913, another Lewis gun was of- fered for test, which was held at the Springfield Arsenal. lhe Vickers was adopted, however, because the board’s report showed the Lewis gun | jammed 206 times, had 35 parts broken and 15 parts required re- placement, while the Vickers gun jammed only 23,times and had no parts broken. The board held the Lewis gun inferior to the Vickers or Benet-Mercier. No other Lewis gun, Gen. Crozier said, was submitted for a test until April, 1916 The War Department| previously had asked for a Lewis gun to test, but the Savage Arms Co. stated none was available. In the tests of April, 1916, Gen. Crozier said the manufacturers withdrew the gun because it was said they were not in condition. Many Desirable Features. All the board formed to test ma- chine guns, Gen. Crozier pointed out, were not subject to his jurisdiction. The board in April, 1916, found the Lewis gun had many desirable fea- tures and offered to again test it when perfected. He produced a let- ter from President A. E. Borie of the Savage Arms Co. stating that the board’s action had been “entirely un- partial.”’ In the summer of 1916, Gen. Cro- zier said, on his own initiative and without funds having been appropri- | ated, he bought 350 Lewis guns for. use with British ammunition on the Mexican border. Letters from offi- cers having charge of the guns, crit- icisiig the Lewis guns adversely, were produced and Gen. Crozier said that in the border service the Lewis gun was generally proven inferior to the Benet-Mercier and Vickers.

Because of machine gun de- velopment and the large 1916 appro- priation, Gen. Crozier said Secretary Baker decided to appoint a special board organized in September, 1916, and which arranged for the tests of May, 1917. Meantime, Gen. Crozier said, the board ordered 4600 Vickers guns, suspended the order at the request of the Lewis people, but later took 4000 Vickers guns in September, 1916. The Vickers gun at that time, Gen. Crozier said, had been proved the best for American ammunition. It was evident, he said, that good Lewis guns were being made in England for use with British ammunition and poor Lewis guns were being made in this country. When war with Germany became imminent, Gen. Crozier said, he asked and several looters have been shot.

Demands for Lewis guns in the latter service, Gen. Cro- zier said, probably will result in con- tinued orders for them. “There is good prospect that our forces in Europe will not be lacking machine guns in any way,’ said the General.

To criticisms that the War Depart- ment delayed rifle production by modifying the British Engield so that it shall be used with American am- munition, Gen. Crozier denied that standards fixed for interchangeabil- ity of parts caused any serious delay. Regarding charges that there are rifle and machine gun shortages in training camps, Gen. Crozier de- clared: “Enough rifles have been manu- factured to equip all the troops in the cantonments, but I do not know if they have actually arrived; they are on the way. And they are abun- dant for all troops that are likely to be called out for service.”’ To show the scope of the Ord- nance Bureau's work, Gen. Crozier disclosed that contracts for ammu- nition aggregating more than $1.,- 000,000,000 had been placed up to Dec. 15. Contracts average $6,000,- 000 daily. In seven months orders for $1,500,000,000 were placed, as It is on a plain at an elevation of 4850 feet above sea level.

ANCIENT ITALIAN CHURCH Padua Saved—Bombs Kill | Three Persons. PADUA, Italy, Dec. 30.—The an- cient monumental Carmini church of Padua, containing frescoes by Titian and Campagnola, was the center of a fire last night which lighted up the skies for miles around. The fire started from incendiary bombs dropped by enemy airplanes in an- other raid. which scattered wide- spread destruction and death. The dome of the massive church burned throughout the night, mak- ing a majestie spectacle, but the sol- idity of the ancient walls, dating from 1250, and the copper roof saved the main structure and paintings from destruction. The bomb hit the outer edge of the dome, which was soon a fiery furnace rising many feet in the center of the city. One of the buildings was pierced from top to bottom and torn to) pieces by a bomb which buried four! persons, three of whom were chil- | dren. The church of San Valentine | and the ancient palace were hit and | partly wrecked. Other private build- ings also were struck. While destruction of property ans great, reports indicate the loss ne life was not as severe as on Friday night. The correspondent today visited the Carmini church, where mass was proceeding in the baptistry. The famous frescoes were intact. The altar was covered with wreckage, damaged greatly. A number of hang- ings and tapestries were burned by red-hot metal from the roof. The tall campanile was saved and the bells were ringing today. A monu- ment to Petrarch in an adjoining square was scorched and surrounded | by debris from collapsed houses, The frescoes saved were the meet- ing of Joachim and Anna by Titian ration of the Magi by Campagnola. The Carmini church was erected | to commemorate the end of the brutal tyranny of one of the Hohen- stauffen chiefs who raided Northern Italy 700 years ago.

Every un- married person earning more than $1000 during the last year, and every married person or head of a family who made more than $2000, must file with the Internal~Revenue Col- lector of his district a report any time between tomorrow and March 1. He will be notified before June 1 of the tax due, and payment will be due by June 15. , The Government expects to re- ceive $1,201,000,000 from income taxes before July 1, including $666,- 000,000 from individuals and $536,- $00,000 from corporations. ; SALARIES TO BE ASSESSED Married Men Must Pay on $2000 This is | more than one-third of the $3,400,- | i }individuals with no capital, or with lonly nominal capital, such as pro- fessional men with money invested in books, dentist and physicians’ in- struments or other equipment, Another kind of tax is laid on ex- cess profits of businesses having in- vested capital. On this basis, taxes on net incomes or profits In excess of certain deductions are at the rate of 20 per cent of the amount of net income in excess of the deduction and not in excess of 15 per cent on the invested capital; 25 per cent on the amount in excess of 15 per cent and not in excess of 20 per cent; 35 per cent on the amount in excess of 20 per cent and not fn excess of 25 per cent; 40 per cent on the amount in excess of 25 per cent and not in excess of 33 per cent: and 60, pe> cent on the amount in excess of 33 per cent.

ETROGRAD, Sunday, Dec. 30.— An interview with Admiral Keyser- lingk, a member of the German dele- gation which arrived in Petrograd last week, is published by the Den. In reply to a statement by his inter- viewer that the Bolsheviki consti- tuted only one party in Russia and were not recognized by a majority of the people, the Admiral said: “That is a matter of your internal politics, which in no wise concerns us. However, Germany would not wish to conolude peace with only one party. That is why we insisted that the delegates from Ukraine be ad- mitted to the peace negotiations at Brest-Litovsk. “We have not declined to hear rep- resentatives of other nationalities in Russia, even of other parties. We understand that a durable peace is attainable only when factional pas- sions in Russia have been allayed. Therefore, however much we desire peace, we await the re-establishment of order,” The Admiral denied that the ques- tion of peace was bound up with the ‘Constituent — bly. ig he was with the Erie Railway.

|TMEFL RATHER FINN | Billy Kent, Elevator-Boy, Con- tributes Comedy Uplift in New Production. * om t. mm UTHERFORD SCHOONMAK- ER, proprietor of the Schoon- maker Department Store, is alone on the floor when his wife, -' who has begun divorce proceedings, ‘arrives to do a bit of shopping, ac- cording to an incident in the Henry W. Savage musical comedy, “Have | @ Heart,” which opened a week's en- | gagement last night at the Jefferson ‘ Theater. Much flustered, he is so }) unlucky as to drop the remark that he is an expert oh lingerie and hosiery. “Of course, of course,”’ he explains hurriedly, “only in the in- janimate phase.” One of the creditable things about ithe play is that its display of sub- surface feminine appare) is mostly inanimate, on the shelves and in the } cages of the Schoonmaker emporium. | Even the chorus is no more reveal- Gingly arrayed than the maids and }metrons seen at an afternoon tea or Sa ball. And the remark may be taken in a deeper sense—the humor ‘was nearly always wholesome and ‘clean, if never subtle and rarely ‘novel; and even the few lines of a ‘suggestive twist seemed to be intro- duced without zest, seemingly from a serge Of duty as to what the public expects ‘in an up-to-date musical v comedy. pom - a ner Story of the Play. The play takes enough situations from Sardou’s “Divorcons” to afford fa plot considerably less tenuous than usual; in fact, few minutes pass in i which something does not happen to fcarry on the story. Schoonmaker tand hie young wife, Peggy, are about Eto be divorced because of her jeal- ousy of Dolly Brabazoy, a movie vampire. But, unknown to their friends, they effect a reconciliation and elope on a second honeymoon. Dolly, of course, appears, with result- ant complications. There is a vil- . lain, Capt. Charles Owen, who wishes to marry Peggy, and who causes the husband's arrest on a charge of pass- ing counterfeit money. That all ends happily is due largely to a two- headed “deus ex machina” in the form of Henry, the elevator boy at Schoonmaker’s. |. This role is taken by Billy Kent, formerly of Park Theater popular- ity, and he was easily the life of the party. It is the familiar Billy Kent fof the grin upturned at the corners, of the agile eyebrows, of the eccen- ric legs, of the dislocated grammar, matter that his style as a com- lian retains frequent slapstick crud- ities, that many of his quips are of ‘able lineage, that he is only o-apparently attempting to ape #BRayriiond Hitchcock, with reminis- : ees of Frank Tinney?

Consequently, it could not help being hummed by nearly every- body as they left the theater. As is usual in the Savage produc- tions, the stage settings were attrac- tive, and there were several pretty lighting effects. To one not overly supercilious, “Have a Heart,” pre- sented for the first time after its success in New York last year and in Chicago this winter, will afford an evening of amusement and enter- tainment. New “Les Miserables” Film, Strongly Cast. Follows Book Closely. Victor Hugo, who died 20 years before the days of the modern mo- tion pftcture play, was, nevertheless, a master of movie scenario writing. the new William Fox film version of “Les Miserables,” which is being shown at the Shubert-Garrick Thea- ter this week, could hardly follow Hugo's text more closely if the great French author himself had prepared it for the screen. In this fidelity to the original, and in the merit of its cast the new film excels the_.“‘Les Miserables” which was produced sev- eral years ago by the house of Pathe, and which was revived a few weeks ago in a West End picture theater. William Farnum {!s an admirable Jean Valjean. The first part of his role, showing the degradation of the convict Jean, makes much greater requirements than the latter part, which follows the miracle of grace wrought in his character through the Bishop’s kindness to him. The role of Javert is taken by Hardee Kirk- land of last season’s stock company at the Players’ Theater here. His appearance is probably faithful to the French police inspector type of 1832, but in modern eyes is more suggestive of a London cabbie. The chief departure from the book’s plot is ths omission of Javert’s suicide. The film shows him merely leaving a note, saying he would not cross Jean’s path again. The suicide of Javert is logical and would prove him to be a devotee of justice as he personations of the Bishop of Geerge Moss. Fantine by Sonia Markova and Thenardier by Edward Elkas, were very satisfying. The scenes of street fighting in Paris are the only massed effects of the film, and the relatively high price of admission must rest chiefly on the exceptional competence of the cast and the direction. The latter is evident when this film is com- pared with the ordinary moving pic- ture made from a famous novel, such as the recent attempted screen version of Wilkie Collins’ ‘‘Woman in White.” Magician Interests, But Can’t Warm, Chilled Audience, Howard Thurston is a good magi- cian on the stage, but he can’t seem to work his well-known hocus pocus on late trains gnd frost-bitten scene shifters, a fact which caused consid.- erable discomfort to his matinee au- dience at the American Theater yes- terday.

Mr. and Mrs. Carr, accompanied by their son, Peyton Jr., and daughter, Miss Thurston deserves great credit for causing his audience to warm up to his show and to remain in the thea- ter until it was over, just in time to set the stage for the night per- formance. Thurston’s show in the main de- pends on the use of ingenious ap- paratus for its illusion effects. All of the best trunk and cabinet light- ning change tricks are shown, culmi- nating in one in which a young wom- an who has disappeared from a cabi- net is found in a box which has slid down a rope from the gallery. A spectacular and clever illusion is “‘Villa’s Capture,” in which there is a realistic representation of a race down a mountain between a motor cycle and an automobile. At the end all the characters in the sketch ex- change places and costumes in a most mystifying way. ee | of the insist- nee eee ee ee ee ee eS eS Se eS Se De DS ee ee De ee ee De ee 4 De Se DD De Se Ge De 4 DG Ge Le Le lll td i ee de i Or After Your Child is 3 Years Old LAX-FOS WITH PSIN Really Acts On The Shear rwTwrvwrTvTyTVT See he lh - A —_ ee aS ee ee long-felt want. or disturbing to Take heneutenamtemeienemeememenmenteaeee \ JAMERSON Clothes Shops ta N | Save Money!

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I am so glad to know that the Post- Dispatch and other St. Louis newspapers and the New York World, the New York Tribune and other great metropolitan newspapers throughout the United States Df America have come out in a “straight ‘fight’ against tlhe ratification of the na- tional prohibition amendment in its pres- ent form. The New York World says: “Prohibition is the smallest part of it. Is the republic of republics, by the delib- erate act of its own supreme members, to confess failuure? If so, let us change the name of it to the United Provinces of America. Here is a momentous question for dry sfates no less than wet states.”’ Just so. It requires but half an eye to see that Congress has committed a “griev- ous blunder” and a “fundamental defect and mistake” in trying at this critical time in the history of our country (and under our American system and form of gov- ernment) to saddle upon the people of this country without their consent a na- tional prohibition organic law which would " in its very nature forever destroy the . a keystone in the arch,of true democracy and strike down the representative prin- ciples of free democratic government in this country as founded by our American forefathers in the first pice. It would ultimately destroy our republic, notwith- standing the fact that President Wilson is now fighting to make the world safe for democracy . In my humble opinion this congressional resolution or national prohibition amend- ment to be submitted to the several states of the Union for ratification is not an emergency and war measure. It was wholly unnecessary, unwarranted and un- justifiable legislation at this time and is unconstitutional per se. GEORGE A. RITTER. How Is Your House “Het?” Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

It is all the more distressing because we fancied that its permanent safety had been assured when the British and French reinforcements reached the front and the line of the Piave was seen to hold. But we are told that Col del Rosso and Monte Val Bella, having been once lost to the Germans and then recaptured by the Italians, have again been lost. Back of these elevations immensely strong fortified positions are still held by the Italians, it is said, but the Germans have now reached a point only about five miles from the Venetian plain. When the destroyers are only that far away from the lower side of the mountain barrier, not only every half-mile and quarter-mile counts, but every foot. If the defenders cannot stay the prog- ress of the enemy at the wall of the mountains, how shall they resist his onslaught when the plains are gained? In the humiliation of national pride, Many cap- itals have had to be abandoned since the start of this mad war. Venice is a capital in a more than national sense. It is not an exclusively Italian city. It is one of the capitals of the world of art. What high revels the devastators of art would hold in this ancient seat of the Venetian repub- lic’s power, could they gain entrance. What profanations of shrines sacred to lovers of the beautiful and artistic; what hackings of master- pieces impossible of removal: what blowings up of stately architectural monuments of long-gone centuries would follow their entrance! But the whole world hopes that they may never gain entrance. Generous art, breathless with anxiety in these fateful days, will be very grateful if*this appalling desecration is averted. is ot oP :.” coat oF el 4 4 rs *¢ ° »* {> ee ae “~ : ay S 3: an oo > 4 co oh et - = ate) " a 8 - + Je KAb a 3 4 Ars “ 4 oe *. a 4 ie set OX «> ee a ae . -_ a ar ~ Pin > eee ry - * 2% ej > ¥ * . a “ ° o a a * a a yy © s J . ~ ’ DAS a # Pr’ asec’ arb’ ; —~n he a 4 > v- a5 2 >. oe * s/ . = ot eae: .

Some- one who doesn’t read our occasional dissertations on ethics seized upon our own bird dog. A few days later the colored man who chaufs the furnace for us saw the dog on the street, apparently out for a walk with his new master Our outpost immediately claimed the dog, and the case went up Lo an approaching po- . liceman. The white man complain: 4 that the colored man was unjustly claiming the dog, which by that time stood across the street aw aiting the outcome of the appeal. Finally the policeman said to the white man: {‘What is the dog's name?’’ at once made the white man wince and our faithful emissary on the outskirts grin. Of course, the white man did not know the dog’s name, * ‘*What is the dog’s name?’’ asked of the colored man. the policeman then ‘*‘Here, Sport!’’ called our fearless attache in the basement, at which the dog bounded across the street and fairly knocked him over with joy, evidently sup- posing that the cop had announced his decision. ‘*It’s your dog,’’ the policeman said to the colored man, in the grand manner of Solomon, which closed the incident. = al Anyone afraid that the local aa press is not getting a high grade of literature from police headquarters ought to be reassured by the following from the Christmas Festival list: Reporters’ Room, Police Headquarters O.

For myself I do not greatly care. I have been poor so long and have done without the things that I wanted so about themselves and their own pleasure and amusement. “The men who are doing things and who are worth marrying are in the world where your daughters live —not where mine are—and your daughters have 10 times the matri- monial opportunities that mine have. + When your daughters marry they will be married for love; mine will be married by men with an eager eye on their dowries.

(JACK) HENDRICKS, manager of the Indianapolis (American Association) club, this morning signed a contract with Branch Rickey nals for next season. Hendricks arrived in St. Louis fter a short conference with the local executive, Hendricks to manage the Cardi early today and, a the latter announced that he.had reached an agreement whereby would become Miller Huggins’ successor. As soon as Hendricks’ here this morning became known the inference at once was drawn that he had relieved himself of obligations to McGill and was now free to deal with Rickey. The local executive at once went to the hotel where Hendricks was stop- ping and the two went into confer- enée. Following this, they retired to Cardinal Field, where negotiations once more were opened. No details as to the duration of the contract or the salary paid were giv- en out by President Rickey. Hendrick’s Salary a Secret. “While the terms of the contract were not made public, it is perhaps safe to say that the Cardinals did not pay one cent for the release of Hendricks. Rickey had previously _ stated that he would not give James .C. McGill a cent to release Hendricks although he ‘had at one time offered the Indianapolis magnate $5000 to, release his manager. It is believed that the offer to Hen- dricks contained a provision whereby the new manager will receive a share of the profits, if these pass $25,000. Miller Huggins was offered $10,000 and a similar share of profits to sign for ,1918, but refused. While the selection of Hendricks came somewhat as a surprise, yet it was known ever since the minor league meeting at Louisville, several weeks ago, that Ri red still was eager to secure the Indianapolis man as his manager. This fact was ap- parent despite Rickey’s oft-reiterated statement that he had ceased to con- bility. ‘ When Rickey first opened negotia- with the Hoosier leader, he James C., McGill, owner of the In- consider Hendricks unless the latter cleared himself of all obligations to McGill. Explaining the status of his con- nections with James C. McGill, owner of the Indianapolis club, Hendricks ceived permission from the latter to still wag held open. “T want to come to Mr. Rickey this time,” said Hendricks, “with a clear mind. I did not want anything to occur that would prevent the deal from going through. Only yesterday I received a telegram from McGill stating that he had released me from all contractural obligations and that I could sigu with whom I pleased. presence | Jack Hendricks Says Rogers Hornsby Will Stay With Cardinals NE of the first decisions A Jack Hendricks made today in tne capacity of manager of the Cardinals was that Rogers Harnsby will re- main with the local club next season. “If I have my way,” said Jack, “Hornsby will not be sold or traded to any club in the National League. I consider him one of the greatest players in the game today and it is my wish that he remain and help me in my efforts to give St. Louis a pennant winner. “fT do not know much about the players as a team, but I ex- peet to thoroughly familiarize myself with them before an- other week has passed. The Cardinals showed a game ball club last season, one that ap. pears to me to have manifold possibilities because of the youth of its players. As soon as I have had a chance to dis- cuss the team at length with President Rickey I will be in a position to say what will be done in the matter of making changes.”’ a a iis Mr. Rickey and he told me I could have the place providing, of course, I had set myself right with McGill. T assured him that I had done so. Then I took the next train for St. Louis and you know the rest. “Tl have achieved a life-long ambi- tion, that is, to become a major league manager. I cannot say yet what my prospects are for next séa- son, but I do say that the Cardinals will give every tea min the league a fight. I’m not the sort of a manager thta wins pennants in Deg@ember and finishes in the second division in Oc- tober.” Will Make — Here. ated that he believes Hendricks McGill will dispose of the Indianapo- lis club, although nothing has beea accomplished thus. far. He says the ‘home ownership” plan is receiving wide consideration in the American Association and he is haertily in fa- vor of it. The new manager of the Cardinals will leave here tonight for Chicago to join his wife and children and spend New Year’s day there. Then he will jump to Indianapolis and wind up his business affairs. Subsequent- ly, he will bring ihs family here anr |. make his hime in St. Louis. As he ‘stated this morning, “I want to be on the job all the time.” Hendricks stated he had no play- ers in Indianapolis that he would make an effort.to bring to the Car- dinals next season, but there is no doubt that a working agreement will be effected between this club and the Cardinals. His successor in Indianap- olis has not yet been chosen. . James |. McGill is expected in St. Louis "TT immediately got in touch with John C. Hendricks, the new man- ager of the Cardinals, was born at Joliet, Ill, April 9, 1876. Because his parents moved to Chicago four years later, however, he has always n looked upon as a native of the Vindy City. His elementary and high school education was obtained in the elty schools of Chicago, and he spent four years studying law at North- western University, from which he graduated with the degree ‘of Bache- lor of Laws. » This is the degree referred to when Rickey stated some time ago that the 1918 manager of the Cardinals would be a man with a college degree. .it was not generally known at that time that Hendricks was a college gradu- ate, therefore, his candidacy in the managerial ‘race was not seriously considered. Subsequé@at to-his graduation, Hen- dricks practiced law for three years in Chicago. Most of this practice was in the Circuit and Federal Courts, and early in his three years of law prac- tice, he was appointed Assistant prosecuting Attorney.

Singularly enough, Denver had finished in last place the previous year, so the constructive ability of Hendricks again was given ample room for demonstration. Hig record with Denver speaks for itself. After having finished last in 1909, Hendricks put the club in set- ond place in 1910, and piloted it into first place in 1911, 1912 and 19138. Then James C. McGill, who owned both the Denver and Indianapolis clubs, brought Hendricks to the lat- ter city to pilot the American Asso- ciation entry. Indianapolis had finished eighth in 1918. Under Hendricks in 1914, Indianapolis finished third, repeated in 1915, placed second in 1916 and won the pennant in 1917. Thus in the 12 years in which he has been a manager of minor league teams, Hendricks has never finished lower than third, has won five pen- ants, finished second three times and third on four occasions, and with clubs that had run last the years be- fore. he took chargé? That Hendricks apparently is capable of adapting self to conditions in any league is foretbly shown in the fact that his 12 years of managerial success were achieved not in one league, but in three, including Class B, Class A and Class AA circuits. This is the record that has earned | for Hendricks the title of the most coveted managerial prospect of the present day. It would seem that his Success is without flaw and it is equally true that there is not a man- ager outside the major leagues who is as deserving of a thorough trial in the big circuit.as is Hendricks. Hendricks Sought as Leader. There is no denying the fact that Hendricks has been the most keenly sought manager in the minor leagues for several years. He has had repeat- ed offerg to pilot major ee clubs, but previous to his acceptance of Branch Rickey'’s offer, no big league magnate could persuade him to part company with James C. McGill.

Last year, by di- viding the squad into two sections, the Chicago club barn-stormed all the way home and not only did not run into debt but cleared ab mt $4000. But this season it will be different. Uncle Sam has taken over the rail service and will discourage all un- necessary traffic, it is whispered. It is even rumored that travel per- mits will have to be obtained, before many more weeks have elapsed. It is expected that passenger service will be cut down wherever possible to aid in the release of engines for This condition will probably weigh heavily against the proposed trip of the Weeghmanites and it is by no means impossible that the rail board will put the ban on spring barn- storming, invol¥ing as it does the frequent shifting of a special ear. However, the credit is due Weegh- man and his associates for going ahead with the “business as usual” program. oo * * Who'll Take This Waif?

B. Johnson, president of the Amerti- can League, and August Herrmann, chairman of the National Commis- sion, meet for a conference here to- day. Johnson and Herrmann were ap- pointed at the recent joint confer- ence here of Afmerican and National League club ‘owners, to devise a plan for distribution of the worlds series money among a larger num- ber of teams, in the hope, it was said, of stimulating interest to the end of the season. Two suggestions along this line have been made. Herrmann is said to favor @ system that would give a portion of the spoils to the first seven teams in each league, leaving only the club finishing last in the race without reward. Johnson, formerly a strong advocate of the theory that “to the victor belongs the spoils,” is said now to be willing to have the first four teams im each league share in the money. y The theory of the change ts that it will stimulate interest after the pen- nant winner has become known in_ each league, frequéntly weeks before the close of the campaign.

Transportation and hetel bills would be wiped out by making the meet a local affair, and a net * profit of several thousand might be raised in this manner. p Rodowe Abeken, director of municl- pal athletics, is serlously consider- ink this plan, the meet to take the place of last year's Western Dis- trict Indoor.

By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—The Evening Post, in its copyrighted financial re- view today, says “For. today's COTTON SHARPLY HIGHER = ON AN ACTIVE DEMAND NEW YORK, Dee. 31.—The cotton pare | : opened firm today, at an advance of 4 to . points. There appeared to be a good a | over-Sunday buying orders, attracted prob- ably by the firmness of Saturday, and there was also trade buying on the advance. January was relatively easy at the start. but soon firmed up to 30.7%¢c or 15 points net higher, while later months reacted slightly under oe with =e selling off from | - 30.2% to ic, and May from 29.95¢ to 20.75¢e before the end of the first hour. Trading was fairly active, with orders pretty well divided after the call. Realizing for over the holiday was promoted by re- ports that Southern holders were willing to sell freely around the 30-cent level, but sell- ing otherwise seemed to be held in check | by the continued presence of trade demand. Cotton futures closed steady ; January, 30.80c; March, 30.30c May, 29.90¢: July. 20.%4¢: October, 28 5S8e Fluctuations were somewhat irregular but the setbacks seemed to bring in good buy- ing and there was a bulge late in the fore- noon, following a revival of peace rumors. January sold up to 30.80c, maven | and May to 30c or 23 to 36 pol Be close was a few points under realizing, with barely steady at a net advance of 23 to 36 points. Owing to the intense cold the board | of managers ranted a petition to elose the market at midda Spot cotton pe — Cotton Cpesing. YORK, De 31.—Cotton Jan., 30. 6le: March, 29 She to 29 5c; July, continued advance in Prices on the Stock Exchange sev- eral reasons probably existed: includ- ing a carry over of strengthenined confidence from last week's events, the imminence of the January rein- vestments, and dispatches quoting a responsible British journal, to the ef- fect that the German peace terms, once they are got formally before the British Government, will receive a carefully considered reply. “Any expectation of a considerable reinvestment of January interest and dividend money was probably based upon the conejderation that the Gov- ernment is not now soliciting loan funds, except through the sale pf Treasury certificates in anticipation of taxes. “From the opening, prices dustrial stocks advanced, though the) railroads moved irregularly. Gains of a point or two occurred in a half hour, and the industrials continued their advance practically without set- hack until the closing. In some of the copper, motor, steel and railway equipment stocks, the gains ran to as “much as 2 or 3 per cent. Railroads, however, closed the day with but little change.
