STOCK BROKERS III mm REVELS "High Jinks" Cut Up on the New York Exchange in Honor of Saint Nick.

NO CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS. Avant, Okla., Doc. 21. No Christmas Blocking will be hung up In Frank McCoy's homo hero thin year. Ills two children, Ethel, aged 1 year, and Raymond, aged 2. were burned to death when the McCoy residence was burned yesterday. The parent were down-town shopping when the fire started. They had left the children alone. New York, Dec. 24. Business was thrown to the winds in all the speculative markets yesterday and the funliving element reigned supreme. Wits and comedians shone In their full glory, and on tho Stock Exchango everything was done to dispel gloom that has fallen upon the brokers because this has not been a "bull year." A real effort was made there to provide one of the old time Jolly Christmas frolics, and when the members whose heads are gray and whose steps are not so light as tho younger element's cut up high Jinks. A half a dozen of the "Sandows" carried a street piano out on the floor f the exchange, and from 10 until 3 o'clock regaled their associates with what they called music. The crowd did not go Into rhapsodies over the tnglng. In fact, they threw things. Some of the gayer members pirouetted about the floor, and having male partners, were able to do a little boxing when their toes .were stepped upon. v Laughable Costumes Worn. The real treat came after 2 o'clock when two dozen of the brokers who claimed to have taken music lessons (though to judge from the sounds nome of them stopped years ago) pa-. raded cn the floor in all sorts of laughable costumes, led by that frivolous splilt. Charlie Kocblaueh, wiio was with Roosevelt In the Rough Riders. The fun was.rd fast and furious then, und tho members took part in a general parade. fc'ome of the band were John Shaw, who bad u kettle drum; George Seldenburg. who played the trombone; Robert Nlles, who made a good deal ot nolsn with n cornet; Major Harrison K. Wry, with cymbals; 8. C. Amone, Clinton Miller, r.llly Wallace and John McCulloth. Fur the sake of order and discipline it was thought best to have a mounted ikjIIcc detail and this role was ettsayed by Georgo I). Huchanun and Thomas Clark. Like the vaudeville "cop" they were always in tho way and never managed to arrest anybody. A number of footballs wer kicked about the floor, and generally aimed at some broker whose spirits were oHnlIy ruffled. From the galleries and from nil parts of the floor there was a r! ;'l ' f ticker tape and confetti. 7.U1 ct Cotton Exchange. . .. .. v,.)ii K:.change. where the year, r.aJ li.-c.i an un'usualiy goad one. the fun wa Impromptu.

Between $10,000 and $11.000 was collected on the Stock Exchange and over $1,000 on the Cotton Exchange. Friday was Christmas Day for 2,000 immigrants on Kills Island, gathered from all the seven seas. Amid the clamor ot a score of different tongues, the missionaries ot the island made It a day ot long to be remembered, with gifts ot candy, fruit and trinkets. While the throng laughed and shouted like children, SO downcast men and women we led through the room, bound for the steamships which will lake them back to Europe. They had oeen adjudged undesirable by the immigration authorities. A LESSON FOR HIS WIFE. The Husband Found That He, Tee, Had Something to Learn.

HOMELESS PEOPLE FACED THE MAYOR Fifteen Men, with No Christmas Joys Awaiting Them, in the City Court. .

8hlp builders, cooks, moulders, laborers and "bums" In a motley crowd of fifteen, assembled in police court this morning to hear an interesting lecture on "The Christmas Spirit," by Superintendent I. A. Gorman. Following the affair, the police department and the mayor organized an employment bureau to get the men Jobs. One, however, was "fired" out of town. He said he came from Knightstown and wanted to go to ConnersiIle, but got on the wrong road. Reside3 other features the meeting had its pathetic side. The fifteen men had slept In the basement of the city hall last night. Several were working men, but the -majority were liars, to quote Chief Gormon. The men came from all walks of lire. A little, very black negro, called Rastus, from Southern Georgia, whose father was a slave before the Civil War, wanted a Job as cook, porter or general man. He lived the last six months on $21.07 without working or stealing, he safd. Johnnie Franklin, of Springfield, Missouri, left home because his "stepdaddy" wouldn't let him stay any logger. With a traveling circus he made his exit from the Missouri town, as a tentmah. The show went "to the wall" several months later end since early autumn he has been "bumming." He Is seventeen years eld. With tears In his eyes and a breaking voice. Franklin said that he was trying to get home before Christmas,, but there was no use now. A husky ship builder from Portland, Ore., was making his way, slowly, from Chicago, to Cleveland, where he hoped to get a Job. He had no family, and he has had no home since the age of nine years, when he ran away from home because of a cruel, drunken father. He was adjudged the most cheerful liar of the bunch, by Chief Cormon. The Island kingdom of England was represented in the meeting by a Jewish cook from London. He had been to Cincinnati and left here this morning on the "hike" for Chicago, where he has a job. A Buffalo leather worker was taking a trip to Cleveland, but he got "switched off." somewhere "down east," and got to Richmond. He claimed he was trying to get a job here. Five moulders, who said they ("blew" into Richmond because they heard there was plenty of work here, were sent to the different foundries of the city to secure work. They were considered the best of the crowd. PRESIDENT KELLY FIGHTS FOOTBALL Earlham College Executive Is in Favor of Adoption of the Rugby Game. President R. I Kelly of Earlham college hopes for the abolition of football In tho Indiana colleges and accordingly has started a movement of this kind at the meeting of the college presidents in Indianapolis on Friday. He suggested that the English game of rugby be substituted for football for a year at least. In order that it may have a fair trial and then if the experiment proves successful, popularize the game. President Howe, of Butler college, chairman of the college presidents' ssociation, appointed a committee including President Kelly, chairman, President W. A. Millis of Hanover, Prof. Stanley Coulter, of Purdue, Prof. Thomas, of Wablsh and Prof. B. B. Moore of Butler, to confer in regard to the practicability of the change and report at a meeting to be held soon. The meeting of the presidents was called at the suggestion of President Kelly, whose principal reasons for the change are that the game is now a great expense to the colleges, and. in a way, is an injury to the schools, in that many students slight their studies, and, furthermore. . is dangerous, as shown by the serious injury to Dalton Lewis in the Earlham Cincinnati university game and the death of Wilson in the Wabash St. Louis game. "YOUR HAT AFIRE" CRIED SPECTATORS "Lady, your hat's afire, was the frantic yell that caused Mrs. John Bartel to quickly grab her blazing bonnet and throw it into the street. Mrs. Itartel had been in Quigley's drug store on North K. street, and in some way the trimming on the back of her large hat became ablaze.Not noticing the fire she walked onto the corner of Ninth and E streets, when the dense smoke and blaze from the hat. attracted the. notice of pedestrians. Mrs. Bartel was uninjured, although if the tire had not been noticed she might have lost her hair. The accident is one of the most pecul.'ar that has occurred In Richmond fcr many yeais. Persons walking near her stopped in blank amazement hardly knowing; whetL.r to laugh or to cry out. The hat v. as a wreck. Onco Was ....jujh.

FIND All AIRSHIP

AVIATOR Aeroplane Was Picked Up in North Sea, but Grace Is Missing. (American N"ws Service) Amsterdam, Dec. 24. A report reached here today that an aeroplane had been picked up in the North Sea. It la thought to have been that of Cecil Grace, the American aviator, and Grace is believed to have been drowned. Dover, Eng.. Dec. 24. Although the search for Cecil Grace, the missing aviator, went on today, hope that he would be saved was abandoned. With a gale raging on the North Sea it was generally admitted that, even if Grace had descended safely and had for a time been able to keep afloat with his cork jacket, the storm would swamp him beneath the waves. Claude Grahame-White, the famous flyer who won the international aviation cup at New York, was union? the first to admit the loaa of his fellow aviator. "With the gale rasing the chacces of finding Grace or hi3 aeroplane have been lessened to the minimum," declared Grahame-White today. At 11 o'clock this forenoon Grace had been missing nearly 48 hours and nothing had been Eeen or heard either of hira or hiB aeroplane. The general belief prevailed that the mystery would be solved by the finding of Grace's bedy on the shore of the North Sea. The gale, which swept the North Sea today blew up in a southerly direction and the water was lashed by a wind that caused huge billows to roll landward. LQRIMER FACING SERI0US ORDEAL Insurgents and Many Democrats Will Oppose the Whitewashing Report. (American .Xcw3 Service) Washington, Dec. 21. Senators Cummins. Borah, Bristow. Beveridge. Culbsrtson, Kaynor and probably others are now mentioned as likely to bump into the fight in the senate which is coming on the Lorimer matter. Hitherto the name of Cummins has not been mentioned in connection with the probable fight. It is now said he will in all probability take a hand, and that if the minority report is filed by Beveridge or Frazier he will help back it up. A number of senators who are mildly regular and who are sometimes denominated R3 near insurgents ure uneasy over the situation. Several of them may be drawn into the fight against Lorimer. Should there be a serious split in the ranks of the regulars on this matter there is no telling what would happen. It Is already clear that most of the insurgent senators are bent on attacking the majority report in the the Lorimer case, that part of Democrats will do so, and if the near regulars begin to break away from Lorimer, something like a panic may be stirred up among the senators on whose support ho has been relyinng. A WANDERER FOUND IN A SAD PLIGHT Christmas eve, the happiest time of the year, found John Wilson, with no home, no people, lying at police headquarters, ill and crippled from a fall on the ice this afternoon on North Fourteenth street, as he was seeking work. Wilson did not have a cent of money, and with hardly enough clothes to keep him warm, shivering even in the warm headquarters, with fever. The man says he has been walking over the country many days of the cold weather seeking work, but he cannot find anything that he can do. He will be examined by the city physician and probably be taken to the hospital. A POLICE OFFICER DRIVES A BARGAIN One of the members of the Richmond police force who Is fortunate enough to have six boys, all under the are of twelve years and the youngest still wearing baby clothes, feathered the nest on Friday when he visited a Ft. Wayne clothing firm, being closed out by creditors, and purchased sixteen pairs of servicable trousers for five cents each. For at least a year or two there w ill be plenty of boys' -pants" in this family. The trousers purchased ranged in size from six years to sixteen and as the boys gTOw up they will find clothes awaiting them. Not only did the officer look forward to the future and provide for it but he aiso provided for his children in respect to other kinds of clothes handled by the firm. While all are bargains, the officer says the trousers were the biggest of all. YES, NATURALLY When a plono from a Starr Piano company wagon fell on his leg.

DEMAND WAITERS

T BE HEALTHY Large New York Hotels Are to Require Physical Exanimations of Men. (Palladium Special) New York. Dec. 24. The Geman system of supervising the health of hotel employes for the protection cf guests is being put Into force in tha larger New York hotel. A large Broadway hostelry employ its servants put the system into operation this week. The serving of food by infected waiters imperils the health cf pi'.rons. according to tanitarians. "The hotel guest," said oae manager, in speaking of the innovation, "is at tbe mercy of the management cf tho betel which he patronizes in respect to the selection of employes. A hotel ought to protect i's guests from diseases just us any private house-holder wouli protect hirr.reif and family." "Only recently it was biojght to my attention that a maa and his wife and child who had been staying at a hotel, whose rarae shculd have been a guarantee fcr the utmost cleanliness, b?camc infected with a horrible skin disease. It v;za learned that a scrub-woman who suffered from the disease had used a drinking glass in the guests' room. The disease had bsen communicated to a cut oa his lip and thence to his wife and child." The question of requiring similar inspection cf dining car waiters presents mere difficult aspects to .the health authorities attempting to solve the problem. They point out that congress should authorize a National Health Bureau, as recommended in the President's message one cf the powers of which might be to supervise tbe sanitation of interstate carriers. Of the 450 employes in the first hotel to initiate the German system only twelve refused to undergo the physical examination. They were discharged. YOUNG FARMERS TO E FINE OUTING Will Be Given a Fine Time at the Capital Enroute to Purdue University. Arrangements for the fifty winners of Purdue scholarships to the short course in January made by the executive committee of the Wayne county boys' corn club include several hours' visit in Incianapclis during which Governor Marshall will bo p-.iid the respect3 of the club and the Indiana legislature will be visited. A special interurban car will be chartered, leaving this city early on the morning of January 3. It will be transferred from the tracks of the T. II. I. & K. at Indianapolis to the traction line which goes to Lafayette. The representatives of the club will leave Indianapolis in time to arrive in Lafayette late in the afternoon. The return trip will be made on January 14. Joseph Helms, K. H. Harris and C. W. Jordan are planning to accompany the club's representatives to the university. It is probable that Mr. Helms will be the only one to make the trip clear through. The boys have been instructed not to prepare to spend a cent of money, the c:i'o standing all expenses. At Indianapolis tbey will go to dinner at one of the best cafes or hotels. MASONIC CALENDAR . Wednesday, Dec;. 28. Webb lodge. No. 24. F. & A. M. Called meeting. Work in entered apprentice degree.
