WALL STREET'S SANTA TO GIVE AWAYMILUONS Employs of Firm Will Receive $100,000,000 in Gifts. By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 14. —Christmas gifts totaling from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 will be passed out to Wall Street employes this year in the form of bonuses. Estimates vary, as each new day finds several firms announcing presents to its workers—in a few cases totaling two times their earnings for the year. This great total is quite separate from other Christmas outlays by corporate interests in Wall Street and throughout the country. This is how some of the big firms will reward their workers with bonuses: The New York Title & Mortgage Company and American Trust Company informed their employes they would receive a share of the company’s profits totaling $839,000. Title Guaranty and Trust company employes will divide a bonus of more than $1,000,000 this Christmas. The State Bank and Trust Company will distribute one of the largest bonuses in its history, payments being based on length of service of the employes. It ranges as high as 25 per cent of their salaries. Peter B. McDermott & Cos. is distributing a bonus equal to 80 per cent of the year’s salaries to department heads and older employes. The bonus of J. P. Morgan & Cos., one of the most talked-of gifts on the street is never announced It has for several years amounted to as much as 100 per cent of the employes’ salaries. While it will be substantial this year, it is said it will not amount to 100 per cent. The New York Stock Exchange and the New York Curb Market have not yet determined their bonuses. The exchange last year gave its employes 6V2 per cent of their salaries. GOVERNOR TO SPEAK Billed to Address Church Gathering Under Anti-Can’t Class Auspices.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HIT-AND-RUN DRIVERS INJURE FOURPERSONS Two Badly Hurt; Score of Minor Accidents Reported. Four hit-and-run drivers, one of whom is believed to be a woman, were responsible for the injury of four persons in and near Indianapolis Thursday night. Nearly a score of others were hurt, none seriously, in traffic accidents. Burl Parham, R. R. 6, and Joseph Hagen, 1445 Charles street, were hit on United States Highway 52 as they were repairing a tire. The driver sped on. Parham suffered a compound fracture of the left leg. Hagen suffered internal injuries. Both were reported in serious condition in city hospital today. After his car is said to have struck Elmer E. Hungerford, 57, of 118 Pratt street, at New Jersey street and Massachusetts avenue, Reason F. Krick Jr., 19, of 2326 West Morris street, was pursued by a passing motorist w’ho obtained his license number and later arrested by police. Hungerford suffered a severe scalp laceration. He was taken to city hospital. Struck twice by hit-and-run drivers, one of whom witnesses said was a woman, Mrs. Iva Taylor, 30, of 23 Karcher street, suffered severe cuts on the head and bruises. The accident occurred in the 1600 block on South Meridian street. Threading her way through the traffic in an attempt to cross the street, Mrs. Taylor became confused and walked into the path of a car which knocked her down, and then was struck by another machine as she attempted to arise. Both drivers stopped, but apparently convinced Mrs. Taylor was not injured seriously, drove away. Many other accidents, most of them caused by wet streets which made driving hazardous, were reported to police. SON DENIES KILLING OF WEALTHY PARENTS Grilled for Seven Hours in Carbondale (111.)
