I - (American News Service) . New York. Deec. 11. One of the most thrilling mid-air rescues ever effected by New. York firemen, was made by three men of Truck 2, in the course of a f 20.000 fire in the seven-story loft and office building at 148 Broadway today. ' Mrs. Caroline Richmond was seen in the window of her manicuring parlor on the fourth floor, -wringine her

j hands and apparently making ready to

jump with clouds of smoke and an occasional tongue of flame showing be

hind her. Fireman Robert ..Nelson

ran up the extension ladder, which was seen to be several feet short, carrying a light scaling ladder. Hooking this in the sill of the window above he mounted to where the woman had fallen unconscious across the sill. . - By this time a sheet of flame had burst below. With the unconscious woman over his .. shoulder Nelson climbed half way down the scaling ladder to a point between the two floors. Rescue the Rescuer. In the meantime a longer extension ladder had been run up to the fourth floor, enough ! aside to escape the flames from the window below. Firemen Edward Keegan and Patrick Kirwin mounted until thev were but a foot

away from Nelson and ' his helpless j burden. But apparently that foot could

not be bridged and Nelson and the woman were doomed. Then came the almost miraculous rescue, i "Hold her - tight,? said Kerwin. Keegan encircled both him and the ladder 'with his arms, while Kerwin, bending over until he could grasp the book of the scaling ladder, swung It and Its two occupants clear of the wlndowsill and with herculean strength swung it, pendulum-wise until Its sweep was sufficiently wide to permit the lower" end to be grappled to the ladder on which he and Keegan stood. f The rest was easy and the three

The beaten Spanish armada was dispersed by a storm, and Japan was delivered In much the same way, but without an engagement A Japanese writer, Okakura Yoshisabura, says: "The mighty Kublal, grandson of the great Genghis Khan, haughty with bis resistless army, whose devastating intrepidity taught even Europe

court to demand the subjection of the country. The message was indignantly dismissed. Enraged at this, Kublai equipped a large, number of vessels with the choicest soldiers China could furnish. The invading force was successful at first and committed massacres in Ikl and Tsushima, islands lying between Korea and Japan. The position was menacing. Even the steel nerves of the trained samurai felt that strange thrill a patriot knows. Shinto priests and Buddhist monks were busy at their prayers. "A tremendous Chinese fleet gathered in the boisterous bay of Genkai In the summer of 1281. At last the evening came with the ominous glowon the horizon that foretells an ap-1

proaching storm. It was the plan of the conquering army victoriously to land the next morning on the holy soli of Kyushu. But during this critical night a fearful typhoon, known to this day as the 'divine storm,' arose, breaking the jet black sky with its tremendous roar of thunder and bathing the glittering armor of our soldiers guarding the coast line In white flashes of dazzling light The very heaven and earth shook before the mighty anger of nature. "Dawn of the next morning saw the whole fleet of the proud Yuan that had darkened the water for miles swept completely away Into the bottomless sea of Genkai, to the great relief of the horror stricken populace and to the unspeakable disappointment of our determined soldiers. Out of the 100.000 warriors wbo manned the Invading ahlps only three are recorded to have !

survived the destruction to tell the dismal tale to their crestfallen great khan."

New York, Dec. 11. Neither the president's message nor the opening of congress created any disturbance In the security markets. On the contrary President Taft's views were In many respects received with special satisfaction. The emphasis which he placed upon the necessity of public economv

moderation in regard to the use of the maximum tariff and his rational atti

tude regarding railroad and corpora

tion problems show his determination to carry out necessary reform movements with as little disturbance to business as possible. This is naturally, reassuring. Congress as yet, shows no signs of breaking out with antagonistic legislation, although it is quite apparent that the radicals were disappointed at the conservative tenor of President Taft's message. Political

ly speaking, the situation is hopeful, for while it Is evident that large corporations must prepare themselves for more or less government regulation.

and enforcement of the Sherman AntiTrust Law, in Its present drastic form, may cause ' disquiet. Btfll the outlook in these directions is less threatening than during the sometimes unwisely aggressive policy of the previous administration. As the year draws to a close the stock market finds itself In a more

hopeful condition. It is undeniable that a strikingly optimistic spirit prevails, based upon exceptional business activity in the United States and aided by decided Improvement of Industrial and political affairs abroad. The favorable conditions are many, the chief drawback being that the business of the country and values generally are alreadv nnon snr-h a hih ivii na

to prevent the return of complete confidence. It Is quite evident that the countr is passing through a period of inflation, the causes of which cannot here be discussed, but which are a very positive element in the situation. The most unsatisfactory feature is that values are not noon a stable basis, hav

ing fully discounted all favorable conditions. Investors are consequently shy and discriminating. The better

class of railroad securities are aJreadv

upon a prohibitive level, and made

more so by the firm rates now -demanded for money. " Our railroad situation is not without serious perplexities. Traffic is heavy and earnings show corresponding improvement, but expenses nave grown seriously, and net results are very often unequal to those of two years ago. That the companies should have to face a demand for higher wages at this time is unfortunate for they have scarcely more than recovered from the effects of the Dan-

ic Wages were not reduced at that

period and labor suffered little from that disaster. It is true that the cost of living has risen. So too have wages; and many, of the railroads. If obliged to concede to latest demands

will have no other alternative than advancing the rates and compelling shippers to pay the bills. The latter will as usual pass on the increase in expenses to the consumer. For reasons such as these railroad stocks and bonds have been comparatively neglected by both investors and speculators, and the large owners of these properties are still finding it difficult to distribute their surplus holdings. Attention is consequently being turned to the better class of industrials, especially preferred issues which have not been advanced to such' an extent as railroad lsues and which are benefiting by trade activity quite as much as the railroads. Hitherto this section of the. market has generally been upon a lower plane than the railroads; but as many of the concerns become seasoned and prove their steady earning capacity the effect is to raise the standing of such issues, especially while the railroad section stands so much in danger of reaction.
