Is Object of Meeting of the American Civic Association This Week.

HELD AT WASHINGTON

Four Hundred Delegates From All Over the Count try to Be Present.

(American News Hervl-) Washington, Dec. 13. At the sixth annual convention of the American Civic association to be held in Washington, December 14. 15 and 16, more than 400 delegates from various parts of the United States will be in attendance to discuss plans for the improvement of the physical condition of cities and towns throughout the country. Considerable attention will be given to the betterment of the public health and morals and the establishment of more federal and state parka and land reservations. The American Civic association is a national organization having aeveral thousand members and Is devoted to the beautifying of American communities and the preseravtlon of their natural beauties. A considerable portion of the December session will be devoted to the discussion of city planning upon which subject a number of papers will be presented and aeveral addresses made by prominent landscape architects. Frederick Law Olmsted, one of the best known landscape architects of the country will speak on this subject City Planning Feature. Richard B. Watrous secretary of the association, with headquarters in Washington, said today that the consideration of city planning Is to be one of the features of the convention. He pointed out that this subject is now prominently before the American people and will be presented to the convention In many phases. Reports will be made by municipal officers and others of the success met by cities and towns where modern plans have been adopted and put Into effect. Regarding the subject of national, states and municipal parks, which will be discussed, attention will be called to the scarcity of state parks. Resolutions will be offered providing for the advocacy of a large public park In every state In the union. In this connection much stress will be laid upon the fact that less than half a dosen states have established public parks of any particular note. It Is the Intention of the convention to call the various state government's attention to the Importance and necessity for creating these parks. Certain public nuisances will be discussed, most prominent of which will be the so-called public bill board and sign board affair and a number of pa pers will be read dealing with the legal side of this subject. It Is known that some of these papers will discuss the progress being made In the work of various clUei drafting ordinances prohibiting or modifying public billboards which can be enforced. The American Civic association opposes the bill board because it considers it a blemish on civic art and a menace to public health, and to public morals. The Smoke Nuisance. The smoke nuisance and the typhoid bearing house fly will come In for criticism. Sessions will be devoted to the intimate work of beautifying the home and the neighborhood surroundings of cities and towns and to the discussion of the campaign started last year for a "safe, and sane Fourth of July." The convention will be conducted as a clearing house for all Ideas upon civic government and as a school of Instruction of the various subjects of what the association stands for. The officers of the association are J. Horace McFarland of Harrlsburg, Fa., president; Clinton Rogers Woodruff.

HITS A MOTORMAIi WHILE III A. RAGE

Frank Shute Is Injured by G. Eadler for Alleged "Home Breaking" "You're a liar and a thief." cried George Eadler, of Easthaven avenue, to Motorman. Frank Shute. then he leaped on the moving street car at the corner of Easthaven and Roscoe avenues, with a drawn revolver, so Shute says. Eadler grabbed the brass controler handle and struck the motorman a vicious blow under the right eye. "You broke up my home. I've done what I wanted to," yelled Eadler. after the attack, as he jumped out of the car and ran for his home, nearby. The assault occurred at 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A warrant for EadIcr's arrest la out and he will probably be aprehended during tho day. Shute was felled by the heavy blow from the controler handle and lay on the floor unconscious until passengers that rushed to the scene carried him to a nearby grocery where he was cared for by a physician. The car was moving slowly and was stopped by Shute before the assault occurred. Lay In Pool of Blood. Passengers at first believed the motorman bad been murdered. He lay prostrate in a pool of blood and. to use the expression of a witness, the floor looked "like a slaughter house" after be had been carried out. This morning Shute was In a fair condition although he had a deep cut under his eye and could not see with It. He claims Eadler had been drinking. Eadler it is said, alleges that Shute won the affections of Mrs. Eadler. It Is said Eadler and his wife have separated. Shute says that he has had several arguments with Eadler and has been fearing trouble. Eadler, he claims, drew a thirty-two calibre revolver on him and threatened his life. Only on one or two occasions had Shute, according to his own statement, been to see the wife of Eadler and on those occasions nothing improper had occurred. He said it was absolutely false that he had broken UP Eadier's home.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

A somewhat better feeling has lately developed on the stock exchange. Last month prices were pushed upward at too rapid a pace; liquidation ensued, and the decline which follow-j ed appears to be bringing in fresh ; buying of a better character. j Other factors have also contributed to improvement The president's mes

sage was well received, inasmuch as it advised a cessation of attacks upon capital and advocated strengthening of confidence in business. This moderation of ' government activities which undoubtedly did much to make capital timid and aggravate unfavorable economic conditions was favorably accepted in financial circles. Since the president's message marked out no new program of Importance It can now be taken for granted that there will be little if any important legislation in 1911, beyond providing for appropriations and regular routine affairs. An important stimulant in the market was the continued case of money. This must be attributed to slackness of trade, a decline in values and liquidation of speculative risks which unquestionably released large sums of money. For some time past bankers In all parts of the country have been Insisting upon conservatism, the result being contraction and retrenchment in nearly every direction. These efforts were necessary and wise; and as a result the banking situation, though not entirely satisfactory, is greatly Improved, and there is no longer any danger of the crisis which It was seriously feared would materialize about this time. Instead of distrust and pending disaster we And loans contracting and interest rates comparatively low not only at home but also abroad, where reactionary forces are beginning to manifest themselves. The strength of the bank of England at this time is particularly reassuring as it renders gold exports from this side later on more difficult and will materially facilitate the raising of much needed capital for the completion of railroad enterprises. Our borrowings abroad Just now are already quite liberal. Owing to the tendencies Just alluded to the stock market approaches the close of the year under rather

more favorable conditions than anticipated. Preparations for the usualyear end settlements and January disbursements are not likely to have any serious effect upon the local money market, and after the middle of Janentering a period of cheap money, as to be expected Fortunately we approach the new year with fairly good Investment conditions; prices of many good stocks having declined to a point that will yield good returns to the investor. The same remark applies to bonds, many of which offer opportunity not likely to be repeated for a long period. Certainly if we are entering" a period of chaep money, as seems inevitable, many high class bonds will be taken permanently out of the market. Returns recently made public indicate that stocks have becu more widely distributed during the past year, many corporations having materially increased the number of their stockholders. This suggests that the public has been buying stocks for permanent holding. As the floating supply of stocks in the "Street" has diminished rather than increased it follows that stocks hare been going into the strong boxes of the small investor, where they will probably remain. This should assist in leaving the market in good condition for the new issues, which it is expected will be shortly forthcoming. Since the conditions just outlined favor the placing of bonds and short term obligations the inference is that new financing will be largely on these lines, and that little new capital will be raised by means of stock flotation Our railroads are greatly in need of funds to carry out projected improve

ments, made imperative by growing! traffic requirements. Success in the placing of these issues will undoubt-j edly stimulate business activity. Or-j ders for rails and equipment which have been held back for months will be placed, perhaps gradually, but with sufficient freedom to Impart fresh life to the iron trade, which is now run-! ning only a little oer half its full capacity. Other lines of constructive work will also benefit; so that while many business conditions must still be classed as unsatisfactory the out-j liik is for betterment, chiefly because ( of easier money. It i3 thus that liquid-j at ion and lower prices pave the way for a freeh forward movement. J The most serious uncertainty ofj

immediate imjxrtance are the action of the Interstate Commerce commission on railroad rates, and the pending supreme court decisions upon, oil and tobacco cases. Recent railroad returns have been discouraging, owing to heavy losses In net earnings, resulting entirely from the increase in expenses.
