DISILLUSIONMENT FOR HUB BRIDE (Continued from Page one latter in company with her five weeks" old baby girl. - The bursting of the bubble came when Oddey was arrested Thursday on the charge of obtaining $15 by" means of a worthless check. Rufus C. Munday of 9039 Ontario avenue, is the complainant. Joseph N. Pierce, on the other hand, president of the Pierce Electric company of ' 355 West Madison street and who lives at 5955 Calumet avenue, who is alleged to have lost $1,$00 through his acquaintance with the young Englishman, is willing to pocket his losses without prosecution. He claims Oddey cured him of three chronic ailments and says it was worth the price and then some. Pierce says he offered to set Oddey up In medical practice and loaned ;him various sums. He rented him an nfficse in the Republic building, Chicago,' and had It sumptuously furnished 'and Shen Oddey disappeared. That wus several months ago. When arrested Oddey was in company with a man who said he was George McDonald of Minneapolis. McDonald had a loaded revolver In his pocket and Oddey had two books full of blank checks. , After his arrest Oddey became ill of heart trouble ,and was taken to the Washington Park hospital. He Is booked to appear before Muncipal Judge Scully for arraignment today.

Funeral Services Held Over Remains of Mrs. Jiranek. Funeral cervices were held today

MS0HS TO CELEBRATE , AT HARBOR

over the remains of Mrs. Alice Clinton Jlranck who died in Muskego. ' Mich., and whose remains were brought to East Chicago for burial.

The funeral took place at one p. m. from the residence of the parents of the deceased, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Clin ton of Olcott avenue. Rey. R. H. Crowder officiated in the presence of a large gathering of friends of the deceased and of her family, who are old residents of this city. The pall bearera were the three brothers of Otfra. Jlranek, Roy, George and Earl Clinton, a brother-in-law, Clarenie Eder, and Arthur Goodrich and Benjamin Parker. Interment was in Oak Hill and the funeral was in charge of Huber Bros., undertakers. Mrs. Jiranek was a member of the Muskegon Hive of Lady Maccabbees and quite a number of the members of the local hive attended the funeral. She was very well and favorably known in East Chicago being possessed of a large circle of friends. . POOR SEASON FOR SLEDS M SKATES Cobwebs Gather on Cold Weather Devices; Christmas Receipients Mourn. Boys who received sleds and skates for Christmas, are arranging for a con certed action against the weather man. Of course It was Just their luck to get these cold weathef implements for an open winter Christmas, and they are going to see whether something can not be done. Their Indignation will not be appeased when they read the weather prediction for the next thirty-six hours. This is the latest bulletin tne weather man has sent oui for this vicinity: ".Mostly cloudy Monday and Tuesday; continued mild temperature; moderate southerly winds. On Tuesday, increasing cloudiness probably followed - by rain." By rain! If anything was needed to add to the gloom of the new owner of Bkates and sleds, it was that last provision, "probably followed by rain." As the ice is all done for anyhow, It should make llttlei difference, but it looks as thought the weather man wus trying to rub It in. Another objection to the unseasonable weather is that the calamity howler who comes forward with the suggestion "Green Christmas, fat graveyard," is perpetually on the Job trying to make everybody believe his end is at hand. COMPANY STORE IS OBJECTJF ATTACK Pittsburg District Workers Ask Currency Instead of Merchandise Checks. Pittsburg, Dec. 30. A fight against the so-called "Pluck-Me" stores, com pany stores conducted by the steel and iron and coal and coke companies op eratlng in the Pittsburg district, will be inaugurated tomorrow. The workers want real money instead of tin merchandising checks for their labor. A. C. Stein of Pittsburg, attorney and member of the state legislature, acting for others, will appear before the state's attorney general to ask for a writ of quo warranto against the Jones & Laughlin Steel company. The act of 1891 provides that in case any company or corporation is convicted of maintaining a company store its charter shall be revoked. Several years ago a similar request by the same lawyer was Ignored. In the present Instance Mr. Stein declares that if the order is refused he will demand of the legislature a full investigation of the company store system. It Is charged that in the conduct of these stores the corporations violate the act of 1891. It Is further charged that the workmen employed by the manufacturers and producers are forced to buy all their personal and family supplies at these stores; that they are overcharged for inferior goods; that on pay days they are compelled to accept tin checks redeemable in merchandise only at the stores owned by the company, and that the workmen seldom, if ever, receive cash for their labor. NOW EMPLOYES NEARLY 10,000 The South Chicago works of the Illinois Steel company, the sister plant of the Gary works, now has 9,765 on its payroll as compared with 8,500 at the Gary works. Operating conditions at south works are as follows: Mills In operation: Eleven blast fur naces, twenty-four open hearth furnaces ,two plate mills, two rail mills, two blooming mills, two structural mills, slabbing mill, gas engines, ore bridges, bessemer converting works, electric furnace, all mechanical shops, electric stations, pumping stations, dry blast plant, sintering plant. No. 2 cement plant (south works), cement plants Nos. 3. 4, 5 (Buffington). Mills down: North and south docks. VERDICT SETS WILL ASIDE Fowler, Ind., Dec. 30. In the Benton Circuit Court a Jury returned a verdict setting aside the will of the late Jennie E. Caldwell, where she had bequeathed more than 31,000,000 for the establishment of a memorial home for poor, helpless mothers and their babies. The will was set aside on the ground that in the making of it the decedent was unduly influenced by her belief in spiritualism. The trial has been in pro- ! gress since Nov. 7 and the Jury succeed- ! ed in reaching a compromise verdict !

TRADE REVIVAL IS II FUL

New York Sun Financial Review of Year Points to Period

of Prosperity

New York, Dec. 30. The New York Sun in its financial review of the year tomorrow win say; "As the event has proved to the satisfaction of most persons the era of forced liquidation following the panic of 1907 and the era, of at least the fury. o" the political assault on buiness clasi.J in the autumn of 1911. From the low prices then reached the market for . securities moved rapidly upward as from an oversold condition until the early part of the present year, when the shadow of approaching election brought it to a halt. "A revival of business proper began in March, and accelerated by the prospect, since fulfilled, or enormous crops, and not deterred either by the progress of the election or its results, is still in full swing. But a secondary advance in the stock market was stopped and a decline induced, this time by a tightening of money throughout the world in consequence of the Balkan war. Uneventful Year In Stocks. "The stock market history of the year has, therefore, been less eventful than for any similar period in the last decade. As far as the future Is concerned the Balkan war, though it cannot be entirely dismissed as a financial factor, is rapidly disappearing as an active force. Easy money or relatively easy money may be counted upon with reasonable assurance in the months immediately at? hand. "Questions still remaining to be settled are those relating to our tariff discussions and to the attitude of the new administration concerning the trusts and other matters affecting business, as well also as the action the Supreme court may take in the settlement of legal controversies connected therewith; and to how great an extent these mhay offset the influence of the extremely favorable fundamental elements in the situation is something beyond any man's telling. "Judged by analogies drawn from past experience and upon the assumptionalso jutslfied by analogy that the coming agricultural year will not be one of disaster, there is firm ground for the belief 1913 will be a period of continued prosperity. Security Market Sold Oat. 'As far as concerns the security market itself, it has been bo thoroughly old out that a xeal public buying move ment of even moderate dimensions would cause' a rapid absorption' of the small floating supply of stocks and a sensational advance in prices. All that is' necessary to this end is a restora tlon of confidence. ..'- "There was no ' investment demand for Becurltles, and quotations for such securities were steadily falling; and the underlying reason for it all was continued public and private extravagance and a high cost of living that It did not seem possible to lower. "Business was larger In many directions, but it was all being done at so small a margin of profit that there was not much point in its being done at all. Labor costs were excessive and were increasing, and when to all thia was after twelve hours' deliberation. There was a special verdict for the plaintiffs and a general verdict for the defendants in the case and a motion to set aside the verdict will be argued before Judge Sounderson next Tuesday. KILLS WIFE AND MOTHER Indiana Man Few Months Married, Slays Spouse. La Grange, Ind.. Dec. 30.

added the fear engendered by government lawsuits seeking to disturb property titles that had been unquestioned for a generation, why hould one go further to seek a reason for stagnation in the stock market? Living: Cost Carbs Stoska. "There is no doubt hatever that the high cost of living which has coma about in recent year has been and Is a drawback in the security market. It has made the saving of money difficult on the part of a good many people and it has increased the expense of business operations. "But the figures of th saving's banks and other similar records taken as a whole show that saving of money has, in fact, gone on just as before, while the evidence of a vast general accumulation of wealth In the United States is too plain to be disputed. 11 "The price of farms all over the country; that is. farms that can produce anything, is rising and our farmers are far and away wealthier now than at any time before. I ad u trial Coaerns Praiprr. "Industrial securities having a sound financial basis have not been greatly depressed nor is the business of the companies represented by these securities in a bad way. The industrial companies In the year just ending hav? passed through one of the most profitable periods ever known.

"Investment traditionally used to concern itself more with railroad bond than any other form of escurity. Now this investment has been compressed into small proportions. "The true cause of this state of affairs is not far to seek. The railways are suffering from illiberal, unwise, and what will prove to be, carried on a great while further as it has been in the past, the disastrous policy adopted by the government and the public regarding railway rates. Fair treatment of the railway companies is the most important reform now needed."
