Such as Nothing Less Than Calamity. New York, Feb. 27. Now that the interstate commerce commission has broken the endless chain of rising prices the stock market is not really afraid of anything but an extra session of congress. An extra session of congress would be a positive calamity to the stock market. Such a development would Justify wholesale liquidation of Invest ment securities. It would bo doubly disconcerting since the Republican party would be held responsible by the country for the extra session, because of the Republican senate's refusal to take a final vote on reciprocity with Canada. In addition to the uproar that might be caused by a Democratic revision of the tariff just when business is beginning to thrive again chances of a complete change of national administration in the election of 1912 would be Increased. A period of readjustment must come within a few years anyhow and an extra session in congress would precipitate it. ' Overshadowing in Interest any other recent event In railway, tnanclal and business circles, the decisions of the Interstate commerce commission that the railways east? and west are not entitled to the udvanc-es in freight rates they sought caused a pronounc

ed Impression in the latter part of the week. Waiting for Court Decisions. Industrial interests are still await Ing the decision of the supreme court In the Standard Oil and American To bacco cases, which. If not forthcoming tomorrow, will be anxiously looked for on each succeeding Monday until they are handed down and the status of the large corporations settled. While the executives of the rail roads arc generally disposed to take the rate decisions to heart, the optlm 1st points to the fact that at least the( railways now know where they stand, and have a definite basis upon. which to work during 1911. There Is talk of retrenchment on some lines, but others, notably tho Harrlman system, will go right ahead with projected Improvements. The double tracking of the Union Pacific and subsidiaries to the I'aclflc coast, entailing an expenditure of $75,000,000 at least during the next Ive years will be pushed. "We cannot stand still; neither can we afford to go backward; we must grow fommensurately with the territory which we serve," says Judge R. 8. Iovett. head of the Harrlman system. And on the heels of the adverse decision tho bankers of the system announce negotiations for the placing of $rn.no0,000 Central I'aclflc 4 per cent bonds In France. Railway presidents representing the eastern lines traversing "classification territory" arc to meet today at tho Trunk Line association offices to discuss what action Is best In the light of the decision. Not Much Chance for Appeal. Appeal Is talked of, but the decision was based upon facts and figures of the railways own returns, and it Is questionable whether any point of law can be adduced upon which to hang a program of recourse to the new commerce court. The decisions contain a proviso that If the roads can show inability to make both ends meet they may protest to the commission and their appeals will be given attention. Meanwhile general business Is good and money Is easy. Reports from the steel ' companies ' indicate improvements In nearly if not quite all the branches. Kxport orders during the week Included 45.000 tons of rails for Uruguay and 15.000 tons for the Argentine, 20.000 tons of billets and 10.000 tons of bars for Canada. Domestic roads placed orders for 45.000 tons of rails. Including 40.000 tons for the Chicago and Northwestern. February rail contracts aggregate 371.000 tons. The stock market here, influenced by London's opening declined considerably at the opening on Friday but much of the loss, was recovered. A feature of tho bond market was the advance of 4- points in Wabash first refunding fours on- transactions involving I4.8tl.ooo. Commodity markets, especially In wheat, declined during the week.

VERY ran. BOOK Being Distributed to Penn.

Railroad Employes. That any employe or passenger on tho Pennsylvania railroad may receive immediate attention in case of sickness or accident, the company is extending its methods of giving instruction on "first aid to the injured." To this end demonstrations are to be given to employes and a circular card has been prepared for distribution to employes at the lectures delivered by medical examiners of the company. The printed instructions that will be distributed to all employes of the Pennsylvania railroad are entitled "Hints on First Aid to the Injured." "Keep cool" is the first admonition. Employes are then advised to send for the nearest physician after which the injured or ill person should be placed on a standard stretcher, a number of which are provided on cars, in stations, shops and other places. "Keep the crowd away" is the next heading on the circular, which also warns employes against touching open wounds with their hands. The "llrst aid" packet is described in the circular. It contains two aseptic compresses in oil paper, one cambric bandage, one triangular bandage and two safety pins. The details of dressing a wound are then gone into. Following the general instructions the circular deals with accidents and ills which are most frequent, giving specific and detailed instructions for first aid. An Important part of the first aid work of the Pennsylvania railroad is in instructing employes in methods for resuscitation from electric shock. The use of electricity on the New York Improvement and the West Jersey and Seashore railroad has made it necessary to lay stress on this. Since the Pennsylvania railroad undertook to instruct train, station and shop employes in methods of giving Irst aid to the injured, practically every such employe on the system has attended lectures by the company's medical examiners. Last year 228 lectures were given to no less than 6S54 employes. This year it is the management's intention to prosecute this work even more vigorously.

CHANGE THEIR NAME

Rich Smith Family Named Clinton. Now The Smiths never had any arms, and have invariably sealed their let ters with their thumbs. Sydney Smith's Memoir. . San Francisco, Feb. 27. Washing ton would have its hands and imagina tion full if all the Smiths throughout the United States should decide to follow the example set by tho very wealthy Mr. and Mrs. Delmar Smith and demanded a new name. Tho Delmar Smiths are no more, but in their stead are the Delmar Smith Clintons They reside in Mill Valley and are so cially prominent in this city. Clinton is Smith's mother's maiden name. It was she who suggested the change during his recent visit to Washington. Mrs. Smith, sr., who is prominently connected with the temperance movement in the capital, is nothing, if not original. "There are so many Smiths in the world," she said, "it is really quite confusing. Now is a good time to put a stop to it; let us decrease the number by becoming Clintons." And forthwith she offered to give $10,000 to each of her five children if the change were made. The Clintons, who enjoy an enviable social position In Washington and San Francisco, were married about five years ago in Manila. "Mrs. Clinton be fore her marriage was Miss Helen Davis and with her brother, Duncan Davis, made her home in this city.

Viterbo, Italy, Feb. 27. The docu

ments with the aid of which the gov- i ernment hopes to conuct Lnnco Al-, fano and forty of his associates of : murder and thus rid Italy of the lead-; ing spirits in the dread Camorra, re- ( veal that Gennaro Cuoccolo and his wife, "the beautiful Sorrentino," the I killing of whom led to the roundup of their band, had romantic, but far from worthy careers. j Part of the story which will be laid bare when the trial opens on March 11, may now be told. The victims were about of an age. The husband at the time of his death was 42. They lived in the Via Nardones, opening into the Piazza San Ferdinando. only a few steps from the royal palace in a pretty fourth floor apartment. Here, after the discovery of Cuoccolo's body at Torre del Greco, the police found the lifeless form of the wife stretched upon the bed in a charmingly furnished chamber. The pink silk night gown was perforated indicating the position of numerous wounds. Among them was the characteristic dagger cut known as the fregio, the wound given to one who has broken an oath. Mark of Evtt Life Inflicted. If inflicted upon an honest woman or a girl it is made by a slash on the cheek, but if given to a woman of doubtful character it is always upon the body. In the case of Maria Cutinelli Cuoccolo the assassins left the mark of an evil life. Then began the police search for the records of both victims. Cuoccolo in his youth had been condemned for theft, swindling, opposing the police and other offenses, but for ten or twelve years before his death he had not been before the authorities and apparently had become respectable. He was accustomed to define his situation by saying: "Even if I have married a beautiful woman of not illiberal habits I am content, as she is a faithful wife, and anyway, my marriage was the result of a vow. At the age of 30 years I was ill and vowed to San Genarro, my patron, if I recovered, to rescue some unfortunate woman from sin and make her my wife. San Gennarro heard my prayer and I have kept my word. Since then I have been tran quil and home loving and have only once risked compromising myself when in public in the Galleria Umberto, I boxed the ears of Enrico Alfano called Erricone." Motive of Murders Discovered The oft repeated story reached the ears of a detective and led him to investigate whether the murders might not have been due to the hatred of Er ricone and his companions. Erricone denied that Cuoccolo had struck him and swore that he had not even known him. Nevertheless the police persisted on this clew and learned that Cuoccolo had been in active serv ice in the Camorra, limiting himself, however, to organizing thefts and tak ing the lion's share of all operations Both he and his wife were known among criminals as clever organizers At the same time the police archives show that on various occasions they acted as police spies. Notes written in pencil have been found in which the two denounced thefts and crimes ar ranged by persons affiliated with the Camorra. These papers, through the connivance of certain persons, were inspected by the Camorra and were the cause of suspicion of the Cuocolos and of hatred against them. Having established the double deal Ings of Cuoccolo, the police set about to prove his death was at the hands of his criminal associates. Erricone and several friends who were with him at i the Mimi a Mare on the night of the murders were arrested. Police Foiled by Priest. Public opinion applauded the police but soon afterwards all of the prison in crime. Now it appears that the release of Erricone and his gang was due to the intervention of a priest. The Rev Fr. Ciro Vittozzi. who is Erricone's god father, went to the judge and solemn ly said: "I swear in my sacerdotal character that you are about to condemn those who are innocent. I know the real murderers, but I cannot reveal thei names, as they came to me with the seal of the confession." The priest put the authorities in communication with one Ascrittore, who was alleged to have confessed the murders. This man denounced two others. De Angelis and Amodeo All three were fugitives from justice When found they established alibis, but in the meantime Erricone and hi associates had been released. Later the priest was accused of be ing a member of the Camorra and the investigation turned again toward Er ricone and his companions who were arrested again on new and further ev dence.

In setting forth her opin ions Miss Kelly says: "Most of the girls who come to colge do so with an object in view. amely, to educate themselves in ord er to better make a living. Why Education Is Sought. "The girls at Wellesley, as a rule, are not beautiful, and for that reason these girls must educate themselves for the time when they will go out into the world and be obliged to sup port themselves. If they were more attractive they would be married or engaged and there would be less pressng need for a college education for them. 'The majority of college girls pos sess that quality of looks which warns them that it is better to prepare for future self-support than to depend on the chances of marrying. jntidy Habits Are Acquired. "The average woman in college does not think it worth while to be particu lar and scrupulous about her gowns and what she wears, because she fig ures that only girls will see her. As soon as she enters college the habit begins to grow on her of dressing has tily. "It a little while it is a fixed habit and a bad one. It is combined with the habit of hurrying to class, hurry ing to meals, hurryirig to study, and other hurry habits, which go a great way toward making one look slipshod and carelessly attired and mannered."

-There is refollowing a bkOTM nm th n,u-5 rrnm capital of the killiug cf the proposed new divorce bill landing before the legislature. The bill was intended to extend the required residence in Nevada to one year in cases wherein the cause of action occurred outside of this state, which would have been disastrous for Easterners coming here. Wine Flows; Joy Riders Active. Telegrams were sent to New York and other Eastern centers conveyius the news that Nevada's existing divorce law would not be changed as feared. The action yesterday was a surprise. It was a clever, quick move during the absence of the author of the bill and his supporters in tho senate. The bill was brought up sudden- , ly and action upon it indefinitely postponed by a vote of eleven of tho evi enteen members, which, by the rules precludes further consideration during the present session. Expect Influx of Newcomers. Local attorneys report that a large number of Eastern women have been waiting to learn what action the legislature would take In changing tho present law before deciding to start for Nevada. Unless some flaw is dis covered in the bill now buried justify ing the Introduction of another bill, it is probable that there will be an influx of newcomers to the colony. And slo Reno is jubilant.
