THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1909;

WALL ST. FLURRY 1 STARTED BY REID i TO LAUD HAWLEY?

That Question Is Now Being 4 Asked While the Stock Exchange Committee Is Mak- ' ing Its Investigation. ENGLISH OPERATORS ALSO GIVEN CREDIT

For the Sensational Actions of . Rock Island Stock Monday Moore Denies Knowledge Of Cause.

New York, Dec. 29. The committee appointed by the New York Stock Exchange to Investigate the sensational rise in Rock Island Monday is likely to have several distinguished financiers before them, as well as Change members, to get to the bottom, of the story that the incident was a trap of Daniel G. Reid to nip Edwin Hawley and some of his friends, Including Benjamin F. Yoakum, who recently parted company with the Rock Island crowd. Mr. Reid had promised to be at his office early in the morning, but had not appeared when the investigating , committee began its work. Judge William H. Moore, who, with Mr. Reid heads the Rock Island syndicate, sent word, however, that he would appear and answer all questions as to his part in the matter Whenever needed. It Is only against members of the Exchange, though, that any action can be taken on the strength of the Investigating committee's report. If the brokers Involved can show that they received bona fide orders and executed them by the letter of their instructions they will thereby exonerate themselves of any blame of Monday's "quick turn of the wheel." Held Two Sessions. , The investigating committee held two sessions. At the conclusion of the afternoon session it was announced by George W. Ely, Secretary of the Exchange, that nothing definite had been established, but that the committee would make its report within

two or three days. .1 One theory for the rise in Rock Is-

iland that gained great currency Monday had hardly a foothold yesterday,

ana mat was tne one wnicn expiainea the erratic course of the stock as due to the buying of London operators against calls. The reason for its rejection was that in London cals do not mature until the option day of the settlement for which they were sold, contrary to the practice of New York, where options may be exercised at any time up to their maturity. i English brokers, through custom, always buy something like1 half the amount of stock on which they have old calls at the time they sell privileges, and it is hardly to be supposed that these brokers, who are generally accounted among the, shrewdest in the world, would be frightened into buying more stock to protect themselves when the next settlement is still ten days away. It was reported after the examination of the witnesses before the committee,

They cracked half way around -and the humor spread .up on to her head until, on several occasions, it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every year. I think it was toward the spring. I always bathed It with warm water and Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out was when she was six years old. It became so bad that I was discouraged. Then I procured a bottle of Cuticura Reaolven t which sooa cleared it out of her blood. I continued the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment with the Resolvent untQ she was perfectly well. She is now about eight years old and has never been troubled in the last two years.

The boy who Is shod in thin, low shoes, will have his feet both wet and cold. The Same Boy, The Same Weather, Our High Shoes, Fun, Comfort and Health We say "onr" shoes because only in these will be found those points which make a high top shoe the ideal winter weather shoe for the active, healthy, fun loving boy.

THE LEATHERS The uppers are soft, wetting does not affect them, and drying out does not harden them. The soles are heavy, durable and practically waterproof. The whole shoe is as nearly waterproof as shoes can be made.

THE PRICE These shoes range in price from $2.50 to $3.25. Every cent spent for these shoes is spent for actual shoe value. The highest possible quality with the lowest possible price.

THE WEAR These are long wearing shoes. The boy who is hard on shoes meets his match when he gets a pair of these. They will outwear many shoes which cost a great deal more. The soles and the uppers are tanned with a view of standing hard wear.

THE WORKMANSHIP These shoes are made by as skilled and as careful workmen as those who turn out our high priced dress shoes. Every hidden detail of construction which might lessen the real worth of the shoes is as perfect as it can be made.

that a brokerage house which frequently has executed important speculative orders for members of the so-called Rock Island syndicate ordered each of 15 brokers just before the Exchange opened on Monday to buy 2,000 shares "at market." When the stock began to leap their brokers rushed in lo buy, and other brokers, short of the stock, to cover. This caused the sensational performance of the stock. Moore Denies Responsibility. Of the. two men back of Rock Island in this city, only Judge W. Moore was down town yesterday. His associate, Daniel G. Reid, who is chairman of the Rock Island Board, has not been seen in the Wall street district since Christmas Eve. The big buying orders for Rock Island are said to have been placed in the interim between the close

of Friday and the opening on Monday.

"I have not seen Mr. Reid," said

Judge Moore, "but I am quite positive j

he had nothing to do with this move. Certainly I had nothing to do with it." Judge Moore was asked as to the truth of the report that Rock Island is

to absorb the Wabash system and later the Lehigh Valley, and subsequently bring out a new transcontinental system.

"I do not own a single share of Wa

bash," said Judge Moore. "Therefore the suggestion may be set aside as a fiction.

"It is true, however, that Mr. Reid

and I have purchased a considerable

Interest in the Lehigh Valley Railroad."

Prom Philadelphia late yesterday

came the information that Drexel & Co., had acquired the Lehigh Valley stock formerly held by the Delaware,

Lackawanna and Western. The transaction involved approximately 20, shares, and represented a transfer of something like $4,000,000 in cash. Control of the railroad is believed to be in the hands of Drexel & Co., who some time ago took over the holdings of J. P. Morgan & Co., in the road. Lehigh Valley is now on a lO per cent basis, and the Moore-Re!d combination will have to part with considerable money to obtain domination of a property which it Is known is coveted. The investigation may be completed today by the committee investigating the Rock Island deal.

EUSAPIA PALLADlNO.

The Famous Italian Medium Who Is Doing "Stunts" In This Country. The American people, and especially 'the amateur psychologists, are very much excited over th performances

of Kosapia Palladino, the famous Italian spirit medium who recently arrived in New York city. She is a middle aged and unprepossessing woman of the peasant type. Her hair Is gray and decidedly white on the left side. Under that part of her hair rests the famous scar which Is said to give put a cold breeze when he awakens from her trances. Her akin la lightly pitted as with an old attack of smallpox. Her large yellowish brown eyes are filmy and dead; they never seem to hold an expression. This la a description of the medium given by a person who attended one of her seances. Palladino Is a woman of no education and no polish of manner. Her family, she says, was of bumble origin In fact, many of her countrymen remember her cooking supper for her husband on the sidewalk of one of the principal streets of Naples and publicly dishing up the macaroni for both him and herself. She has now s second husband, a handsome young Italian of twenty-five, of whom she seems very proud. How did M me. Palladino come to know that she was "gifted?" She was cleaning up her father's bouse one morning many years ago she is now fifty-three when she saw a chair moving around apparently of its own accord. Xoung as Eusapla Palladino then was, she knew that this was no way for a chair In a respectable household to be have, and so she began to investigate. Mow and then, an acquaintance) whispered, she used this gift In her boosebold work, especially at the spring and fall cleanings. Then she gave little exhibitions to friends, and after that professional "mediums" took ner up. In 1872 Slgnor Damianai. an ardent spiritist, began to "develop" ber, keeping ner under his tutelage for ten years.

New York, Dec. 29. Asking Uncle Sam to act as guardian to all the birds that flock through his various states and territories, sportsmen, ornithologists and agricultural authorities throughout this country have today joined the national association of Audubon societies in urging congress to provide federal protection for the nation's rapidly dying races of migratory birds. Unless these helpless wanderers who wing their way over the continent are speedily guarded by federal law at every roint in their travels many valuable bird species will soon become extinct, as several have already, it was declared here today by leaders of this new movement. As a measure providing for the proper care of its bird wards by the national government, the sportsmen's and Audubon organizations announced today that they would unite to support the Weeks bill, which was introduced at Washington last May and is now in the committee on agriculture of the house of representatives. This bill provides for the custody of all migratory birds to be assumed by the federal government and authorize the department of agriculture to determine and fix closed seasons in all the territory traveled by the birds that undertake inter-state flights. Affects Every Section. Without interfsiing with the state law for strictly resident birds, this proposed federal legislation is designed to Insure protection of the migratory flocks in the interests of the people of every section of the counrty. Reciting the practical difficulties of obtaining uniform state legislation to protect this impoilant class of birds, resolutions have lust been passed by the American Ornithologists' union, in convention in this city, endorsing the Weeks bill and expressing the belief that "all birds which do not remain permanently within the borders of any

state or territory are logically the wards of the nation." By the New York association for the protection of game, as well as o-her bodies of sportsmen in every section of the country, similar endorsement has been given to this movement. From Minnesota, Oklahoma and many other states it is reported that public sentiment has already insured the active support of this measure in congress. Seriously Threatened. That not only the healthy recreation of the sportsm.n but the nation's health and agricultural prosperity as well are seriously threatened by the lack of federal projection of migratory birds, is shown by iecent records of the investigations of government authorities. Hosts of irsects that harm the crops and carry deadly germs are now known to be consumed by these very birds that the nation is asked to guard from wholesale slaughter. If the lack of uniform protection to these birds by the states which they must cross is allowed to menace the interests of the American people any longer, it is pointed out that the consequences will be serious. "Farmers, ranchmen, planters and lumbermen, as weli as sportsmen and

bird lovers, in all parts of the country are offering us their support in this campaign to place Uncle Sam on guard over the nation's migratory birds," said William Dutcher, president of the national association of Audubon societies at its headquarters, 141 Broadway, today. "Twenty -five years of constant and aggressive effort for uniform bird protective laws has resulted in some progress; but a century of effort would not accomplish what this Weeks bill will, if it is made law. If every American who care3 for the continued existence of his country's birds will come to our aid, however, I believe that we shall soon see the national government placed in, control of this serious situation."

How a Plant Protects Itself. One little plant of South Africa protects itself by assuming a curious likeness to a white lichen that covers the rocks. The plant has sharp pointed green leaves. These are placed close together, with their points upward, and on the tip of each leaf is a little white, scaly sheath. The resemblance of the smooth surface these present to the lichen growing on the rocks, beside which it is always found, is so great that it is not till you tread on it that you discover the deception.

When she was quite a young woman Mme. Palladino was waked up one night by a shade which stood near by. "Is that my father?" she quotes herself as as kins. Two knocks said "No." She asked, if it was her mother, and again there came two knocks. "Is it, then, my good guide whom I

i call John?" she asked, and three knocks i on the side of the bed said it was

truly John. Mme. Palladino when asked If all spirits used the same code answered that all mediums do. The code, she said. Is as follows: Two knocks mean "No." three knocks "Yes." five knocks

"Turn off the light" and seven knocks "Call off the seance." Dr. J. H. Hyslop says that a great many people bear knocking and that they pass them by, thinking them only the creaking of the wood under change of temperature or explaining them by .assuming that some one sweeping in the next room has hit the wall with a broom handle. If people who hear knocks would but ask questions, he says, they might get In touch with another world la a most commonplace jsort of way. Mme. Palladlno's greatest stunt Is making a table rise unaided by some occult means a foot from the floor. Directly under the full light of a sixteen candle power electric lamp, with two men holding her feet and knees and with her hands In plain view a foot above the table, Slgnora Palladino recently caused it to rise again and again three times with all the feet clear of the floor. In an of these levi--tatlons the spectators on the edge of the circle could look under the table and see her feet and knees quiet and absolutely controlled. ' The price of being present at one of her seances Is $250, but doubtless that will make no difference to those who can afford to be psychologists and lire is New York at the same time.

Excellent natural pottery is manufactured by nature in the case of a certain cactus. Woodpeckers are apt to excavate nests in the trunk and branches, ' and. in order that it may protect it self against these incursions, the plant exudes a sticky juice, which hardens, forming a woody lining to the hold made by the birds. Eventually the cactus dies and withers, but the wooden bowl remains.
