Hu .United Pres* / ' NEW YORK, Feb. s.—Explanation for the rise in call money to 514 per cent ye&t&rday was afforded in the weekly statement of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which set forth a loss of 5 points its reserve position at 81.6 per cent, against 86.7 per cent a week ago. However, no apprehension over the money situation was noticeable in the early dealings on the stock exchange. Industrial shares attained a further record high at yesterday’s close, Dow-Jones’ average pushing about 160 for the first time in history. This demonstration of strength brought further buying at the opening and new highs on the move’ were reached in many representative issues. Motor shares were in urgent demand, Chrysler spurting to 52%, Jordan 1% to 62% and I Hudson % to 116%. Although the official call rate held at 5 per cent around noon, money was available at 4% per cent in the outside markets. This indication of easement stimulated further buying in the various sections of the list. Coppers displayed a strong tone under\he leadership of Anaconda, which pushed into new high ground on the move at 50, up a point from yesterday's low.

SCHOOL HELPS 0 Copyright. Compton’s Pictured r_l HE son of humble French-Ca- |' I ’ nadlan parents, the Right I 1 Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, prime minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911, was born in 1841 at St. Lin, Quebec. He studied law, but very early his interest in politics * overshadowed his interest in law. He identified himself -with a group of advanced Liberals in the province of Quebeo, who were known as “the Reds,’’ and in 1871 he was elected a member of the provincial legislature. Three years later, in 1874, he was elected a member of the Canadian House ofCommons, and In this body at Ottawa, where he played a continuous and most distinguished part until his death in 1919, he found his life work. Laurier’s rise to the “front benches’’ in Parliament was rapid. In 1877 he became minister of inland revenue in the Mackenzie administration. On the defeat of this administration at the polls, in 1873, he went into opposition; but in 1887 he was chosen, though a FrenchCanandi&n and a Roman Catholic, to succeed Edward Blake as leader of the Liberal party. Under his guidance the fortunes of the Liberals soOn revived. Though defeated in the general elections of 1891, he swept the country in 1896 on the question of separate schools in Manitoba —a question on which he found himself at variance with the official heads of the Roman Catholic Church in Quebec. He was called upon to form an administration, and thus he entered on that fifteen-year tenure of th 9 prime ministership, which was to make him on of the greatest figures of Canadian history. He was the first French-Canadlan to hold this important office under the confederation. Two Divisions • His work as prime minister of Canada falls naturally 'under two heads. On the one hand, there is the very important contribution he made toward determining the relations between Canada and the mother country; on the other, there iswhe contribution he made toward the building up of Canada itself. In his attitude toward Great Britain, Laurier may perhaps best be described as a Liberal Imperialist. When the South African war broke out, not long after his advent to power, he dispatched several contingents of Canadian volunteers to South Africa to fight there the batties of the empire. Then, and always. he was thoroughly loyal to the British Crown. But he was also loyal to Canada. He conceived of the British Empire as an alliance of free and equal nations, and he opposed every attempt, from whatever quarter, to limit Canadian freedom. It is *a significant fact that it was during his period of office that the last British soldier was withdrawn from Canadian soil, and that the beginning of a Canadian navy was made. He was a prominent figure in the colonial conference held in Lon-

INDICT TWO IN MURDER PLOT (Continued From Page 1) left the car at Washington St. he was sent to the city hospital. Note Found On Man Clary 4 first said he was hurt In a fall. The State will attempt to prove an old typewriter found at the home of Mrs. F. D. Feasel, 517 N. Delaware St., Mrs. Gipprieh’s mother, wait used to write the “love” note. Mrs. Gipprich said Clary had made love to her, but she regarded him as an “elderly friend of the family.” Wallace McCutcheon, 17, Negro, 1433 Mlnocqua Ave., who admitted fatally shooting John Ward, 42, 1226 Cottage St.. Jan. 18, was indicted for first degree murder, anu murder to commit robbery. McCutcheon is alleged to have phot Ward, who wus riding a bicycle at the elevation and Prospect St. when he held up Ward. “I’ve been expecting that,” Mrs. Gipprich said when told of the Indictment in jail. “There’s something back of all this," sha said, “something I don’t understand. I’m innocent of all this, and I have faith to believe that my Innocence will be proved. Says Clary Jealous “Clary is an old man and I don’t want to harm him, but he’s been terribly jealous of me all along.’JL She said that frequently Clary had threatened her and at one time had at the point of a revolver made her sign some papers. “But I don’t know what they were and also I don’t know anything about that note they say I wrote. I never saw it until the police showed lt to me,” she said. She said that from the time she ine.t Clary when she was less than 16, he had been violently in love with her, had given her p/esents and been very jealous of her. “Until about five years ago I didn't know he was married,” she continued. “Then I only found it out by accident. I never had any feeling but respect for him as an elderly man, who had been kind to me. Since I’ve been married he has continued to try to show me attentions and has wanted me to leave my husband and come to him. I wouldn’t consider lt, and anything he’s done lately has been done without my consent or knowledge.” Admits Borrowing rfie explained that she had borrowed money of him, but Insisted that she had paid him back. “I did borrow the SI,OOO and I wanted ta give him my Bulck car, a diamond ring and my typewriter as security. He took only the ring, and X later paid him back S6OO. “The contention that my husband killed for his insurance money is silly, because I opposed his being Insured in the first place, and some time ago, when an Insurance man talked to him about getting more insurance, X opposed it.”

So far as his domestic policy was concerned, Laurier was guided by a splendid faith in Canada's future. His Immigration policy brought into the country hundreds of thousands of settlers; and hi? railway program looked toward the spanning of the country with not ene transcontinental line, but three lines of railway. “Build up Canada,” became the watchword of his government. What proved his political rujn, however, was his attempt to carry out this idea by means of reciprocity in trade with the United States. In the general elections of 1911, which were fought over this question, he was defeated; and Mr. (now Sir) Robert Borden, the leader of the Conservatives, succeeded him as prime minister. - Supported Government When the World War broke out, as a leader of the opposition he gave the Government his whole-hearted support. When, however, in 1917, the Government adopted compulsory military service, Laurier found himself unable to continue his support, and he had the tragic experience of seeing a large element in his own party desert hftn. His policy was defeated in a general election; and on Feb. 17, 1919, he died, still at variance with many of his former followers. Sir Wilfred Laurier was one of the best loved of Canadian statesmen. With his picturesque personality, his graceful French ways, his wonderful eloquence, he cap-

tured the imagination, not only of Canada, but of the world. Though French was his native tongue, he became- one of the greatest living masters of English oratory. His dearest ambition was to bring about peace and harmony between the two races in Canada, the French and the English. Just how near he came to realizing his ambition, few people even yet perhaps understand, and if. In the last years of his life, he disappointed some of his admirers, the bitterest of his opponents never ventured to dispute hia intgrity and sincerity.

He denied their other charges of cruelty. “This was their third attempt to escape,” he said. “Boys of their caliber will make most any kind pf a statement. “There's not a word of truth in their charges.” \ Steal Auto Gardner, escaping, slipped his metal cuff, which fitted loosely, off his ankle in the dormitory, he said. When the guard opened the dormitory door to let the convict barber in, Maley and Gardner shoved the guard and ran.

EASTERNSTORM TAKES TOLL OF THIRTY LIVES Suffering Follows in Wake of Blizzards —New Epics -of Sea Written. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—-Terrlfla storms which for twenty-four hours whipped the eastern from Georgia to Maine are passing out to sea, leaving in their wake death and distress. Although the fury of the blizzard is spent coastal shipping still is imperiled, hundreds of cities and villages are banked with snow and continued cold causes acute discomfort along the north Atlantic. Closo to thirty deaths are attributed to the storm. Os these eight came at sea when towering waves assailed three helpless barges. Nine persons died from accident and exposure in the metropolitan area and several others in nearby districts. Eight workmen died and eleven were injured when a factory building at New Britain, Conn., collapsed from the weight of snow on its rooj. Several epics of the sea were written as coast guards and volunteer* rescued those aboard craft left to the mercy of the waves. Three men were snatched from death a moment before a barge gave way at Ashbury Park, N. J., of them only to die on the way to shore. After an hour’s long fight eight officers and men were taken from the schooner Kenwood, which floundered with a heavy load of lumber neaf Boston.

DIVORCE VIEWS ARE OFFERED (Oontfirood Fr.*n Page 1) The four walls of every home are love, confidence, respect and appreciation, and the foundation Is—re* llgion.” Mrs. David Ross, national profit dent of the Indorsera of Photoplays, and chairman of the Seventh Dia tricl Federation of Women’s Club, believes that the women are spoiled, “I have great syrqpathy for thl young husband,” she says. "Thej seem to be giving a lot and nol getting much out of marriage. There’s more independence todaj among the women. There are mor< things open for them to do. Thej have more and they want more. Bui the great responsibility for th( failure of marriage as well as a number of otjier things with th( parents. They are shirking thelj responsibilities. Parents to Blame “Nine times out of ten it is th( parents who should be taken to taslj for juvenile crime. There are to< many laws. Too much red tap< wrapped about everyone, and noj enough responsibility vested in thi parents. Hasty divorces often fol low hasty marriages. Education ot| this great subject of marriage it needed.” Mismatnig is the easy road to divorce, says Mrs. Edward Frankllq White, reporter of the Supreme and Appellate Courts. “The laxity of marriage laws fol the unfit are aiding and abettlna marriage failures and divorcesThings would be greatly help<>d even if the present marriage laws were enforced. We need to tighten up tha laws to keep the diseased, oplleptio and insane from marrying. The plan of publishing banns or at least posting in a public place the list of thoia who have obtained licenses, son fl days before the wedding, would do much to prevent mismating, and ultimate divorce. Runaway marriages would be impossible and the marriage of those mentally or physically unfit or under age could be prevented. “What raises the ratios Isn’t really divorce so much as annulment of marriages that never should have been permitted. A survey some years ago showed that between 75 and 95 per cent of marriages performed in the southern part of the State were in violation of the laws.” GOAL COMPANY INCORPORATED Incorporation papers for the C. ft O. Coal Company, Indianapolis, were filed today with F. E. Schortemelor, secretary of State. Capital stock was given as SIO,OOO. Incorporators are H. C. Tope, L. a Tope and B. S. Buenting. _
