END SESSIONS OF CONFEREES ON HOUR LAW

NEW YORK Deo. 28. Resumption f of conferences here today between repL resenUUves of the railroads and the employes' brotherhoods was quickly terminated. The reason was understood to be that the conference com

mittee of railroad managers sought tj apply the recent switchmen's arbitration awards to the present controversy over the Adamson act The conferees had been in session less than two hours when an adjournment wa3 taken, and no announcement was made by either side as to whether future meetings were to be held. The brotherhood men were obviously disturbed when the session ended. Neither side would be quoted as to what had transpired.

PAPER MAKERS MEET FEDERAL COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. Paper manufacturers, here for the resumotlon tomorrow, of the federal trade commission, open hearing in its news print Investigation, were called into conference today by the commission to discuss certain phases of the situation.

PARIS, Dec. 28. The appointment of the Bank of England as agent for the federal reserve bank of New York Is likely to be followed by the conclusion of a similar arrangement with the Bank of France.

LIQUIDATION MARKS OPENING DEALINGS

NEW YORK, Dec 28 Liquidation In fairly large volume accompanied today's, opening dealings, . the move

ment being attributed to the latest

European developments and the Mex

lean situation. Losses of 1 to over 3 points were recorded by most leaders other than rails, with heaviness con

verging about the metal group, petroleum. Central Leather, motors and

various other specialties. Shipping shares also yielded easily and the bet

ter known equipments and munitions

were plainly reactionary. The few unimportant gains recorded at the outset were soon changed to losses. Deal

ings were more active than in any

similar period of the week.

SHIPMENT OF GOLD SET8 NEW RECORD

NEW YORK, Dec. 28. The largest single day's Importation of gold into this country was recorded today with the deposit of $33,000,000 by J. P. Morgan & company in the New York and Philadelphia assay offices.

ROADS RESIST ORDER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. Representatires of railroads throughout the country today appeared before the interstate commerce commission to show cause why the commission should not take into its own hands the car shortage situation heretofore dealt with by the roads themselves and Issue drastic orders to relieve congestion.

BRITISH EDITORIAL SAYS GERMAN NOTE IGNORES PRESIDENT

LONDON, Dec. 28. The Manchester Guardian, taking the point of view that Germany has rejected the proposals made In the American note, says that President Wilson's suggestion, instead of being "the outcome of a dark German scheme" is so embarrassing to Germany that it is evaded altogether in the reply, which recurs instead to the proposal Germany herself has made, which the allies already had rejected.

CLAIMS LEGITIMACY IN SINKING VESSEL

BERLIN, Dec. 27, Via London, Dec. 28. The reply of the German government to another of the American inquiries in regard to steamships sunk by submarines, in this instance relating to the destruction of the Norwegian steamship Delto, with Americanns in the crew, declares that the steamship was chartered for transport purposes to a belligerent government and hence its destruction was legitimate.

RAILROADS CATCH UP

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., Dec. 28. With all coke producing plants idle

Christmas day the railroads entering

the region were able to make up in

some measure the car shortage of the

week before and Tuesday and Wed'

nesday fully eighty per cent, of requirements were provided. Today,

however, saw another slump, and oper

ators were doubtful whether thirty

per cent, of their needs could be filled.

By Hazel Dale. HAD bo Idea it would be hard." said Janet a little mournfully. She was seated

opposite Jarvia in a little) Italian restaurant, where they had arono to " take luncheon.. . " ? Jarvis smiled. "Well, I knew wo were groin to have our hands full." he responded, '"but don't lose hope, yet, sweetheart, we have spent only one morning-." Janet had looked forward with such a lot of hope to selecting- a place to live. She and Jarvia bad made out a list of thing to adhere to, and they had determined no matter how much they were tempted not to give up one of their precious wants. The list was very much as follows: 1. Must toe downtown. 2. Must have a skylight. S. Must have a bathroom .and heat. 4. Must be In a fairly good neighborhood. . 5. Rent not over forty dollars. This list might not sound exorbitant to a layman, but to an artist who is searching out places of the kind continually, the requirements are well nigh impossible. Jarvis had lived in a studio before. He had bunked in with another artist in an apartment where they paid forty dollars iXr one large sutdio and three little holes in the wall called rooms. There Was no heat save that-afforded by a diapidated stove in the studio proper, and nor-

ror of horrors, no bathroom. Jarvis had told Janet this after they had turned disconsolately away from several place. "I don't see why places are so expensive." she had said, turning her wide eyes upon him in surprise. . rVorse and Worse. But they were, and worse and worse, even the most dreary places were taken almost immediately if they happened to possess a skylight. They were told at one real estate office that places downtown were at a premium. "Everybody wants to live downtown," he had explained, "and therefore we can get the prices." Janet hated the uptown - apartments. She had lived in one herself, a very expensive one, where the rooms were I! the same and life seemed cramited and domesticated. Jarvis had confided to her that he would rather have two rooms that were large than half a dozen small square ones, and so they had resolved not to give up, but to runt

wntll New York had been well looked over. Janet was cheered and comforted by the excellent food, and the bright glances of the little old Italian woman who cooked the food and occasionally came to the door to look at the young lady In green who looked as though she had just been married. vWe'U go to this place on tha square now," said Jarvis, as they went out. "I don't want to move down here for good if I can b.elp it, but there is no harm in trying." ' The place on the Square was a two-room studio apartment.' Soma one uptown had given them the address, and they had decided to try. it while they were in the neighborhood. But when they finally climbed the stairs and were ushered into the rooms. Janet shook heirhead. They ' were large rooms,' but had evidently belonged to a person of wealth who had furnished them for a fad and then had left the atmosphere of Bohemia as a reason for asking more rent. There were only two rooms and a bath, but they were heavily tapestried and looked like the studios in a beok. The bath was lovely, evidently a recent addition, for it boasted of a 'sunken tub and immaculate white tiling, but the rent was $80, even if the place had possessed a kitchenette, a price far exceeding what they could afford te pay.

A Gilded Cage. "Anyway," Janet said as they left, "I don't want that kind of a place, do you? I want a bare old room that we can fix up ourselves, not a gilded cage." And Jarvis grinned and wished they were anywhere else at that moment, so that he could tell his girl wbat she meant to him in the proper way. They wandered up Fifth avenue slowly, looking at the old business houses as they passed, but, as Jarvis said, the kind of a place they wanted would not be advertised. "Janet. I have an idea." he said suddenly. "Dick Armstrong told me about a place up in the Thirties. I didn't pay much attention to him at the time because we hadn't decided things definitely then, and I don't know just what kind of a place it is, anyway. But it seems to

me that Dick said it was a gold mine for any one who could fix H up." Janet's face brightened until it fairly radiated. "We'll go right up there," she said, eajerly, "and even if the place Is taken, we might get some more addresses. Anyway, it's a chance."

"Germany, says the Matin, "intentionally reverses the terms of Presi

and talk at random without knowing what they intend to say. She knows the allies will never make peace on terms which she at present is disposed to offer but during the period of temporary slackening in hostilities she will be able to obtain fresh supplies, while secretly planning new military operations, Just as 6he prepared for mobilization during the diplomatic conversations of July, 1914."

WAR LOAN IMMINENT FEELING ON EXCHANGE

LONDON, Dec. 28. Dealers on the stock exchange show little inrlination to make fresh commitments pending the turn of the year or developments in the war theatre. In the meantime gossip is reviving that a fresh war loan is imminent which, perhaps was responsible for an easier feeling in the gilt edged section today. Russian securities, Roumanian oil issues and shipping shares were steady, but otherwise there was little of interest to the dealings. American securities were-idly steadily. Heavy maturities of treasury bills keep the money market easy. Discount rates were quiet. ROBBERS OBTAIN $800.
