Tabernacle Organ to Have Thousand
New Pip pes.

It is probable that between $4,000 and
$4,000 viii be expended on the Taber-
nacle organ in the near future. dou-
bling its size and power by the addi-
ton of about ], 600 new pipes and bring
ing it up to a much higher degree of
perfection by various other improve
ments.
Z. w. Hedgeland. who has charge Of
the pipe organ department for the W
W. kimball company of Chicago, is
here in this connection. He has met
and talked with President Snow, after
thoroughly inspecting the organ as an
expert, and while no definite decision
has been reached, it is pretty well IN
derstCOd that the improvements viii be
ordered. Mainly through the efforts of
Organist Mcclellan has the first pres
idency been persuaded to take up the
question so long delayed, and through
his efforts also MIR. Hedgeland's ser
vices We're secured. That the organ is
in need of attention is well known. no
repairs worth mentioning having been
made on it since its construction. By
the endituTe of a few thousand dol

can be made just twice as grand as it
is at present.

Third Assistant Postmaster General

Washington, Dec. THE report of
the third assistant postmaster general
shows that the total receipts from all
sources of postal revenue during the
year amounted to S102 S54. 579 while the
expenditures reached s107, 740267. The
value of the total number Of pieces of

but urges legislation on book serials, -
premiums for subscription and the re
turn Of unsold matter to news agents, -
It is also asked that congress be urged
to pass an act consolidating the third
and fourth classes of mail matter
The report comments upon the excess
sive number of articles registered free
by the executive departments. and says
the abuse of the registered mail in
this respect viii continue until con-
E~ess acts in the matter. 1t is said
that could the amount paid as indem-
nifty for lost registered first class do
nestle mail be raised TO the full value
not exceeding $780, many letters which
now pass in the ordinary mails would
be gathered into the registered mails.
An indemnity fund not exceeding SIS. coo
is estimated to be sufficient for this
purpose.

WEEK IN FINANCE.
Speculation Shows a Marked Dimf-
mutton

New York. Dec. 7-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
During the past week there has been
a further slackening of speculative ac-
tiVity in New York The public is no
longer buying stocks with vigor. and.
while advances have been scored in
various parts of the railroad share list.
they seem to be the result of support
by large interests or manipulation by
Dull pools. The professional element
has also continued to exhibit more or
less inclination to work on the bear
side, although so far as railroad stocks
are concerned. the impression produced
by their attempts to depress prices has
been comparatively small.
In the industrials. however. decIin-
ing tendencies have been more pro-
nounced. The fact that the directors
Of the American Sugar company. in
stead of increasing the dividend on
that stock up to per cent quarterly.
as was anticipated, kept the rate at 12.
Der cent, resulted in a sharp break in
that important security. and later on
there was a decline in Tennessee Coal
which also had an effect on the market
at large. American Steel & Wire has
been the object of a great deal of at
tentiOn on account of the stories which
are circulated of dissensiOns in its man
agement and the announcement that a
stock exchange house has asked for
proxies FOR the use at the coming an
nual meeting, the purpose being to eff
feet a change in the management
Statements that the iron and steel
trades. while in a sound condition, are
bv no means increasing. have a ten
dency to create caution. not only in
regard to industrials, but the railroad
Est as well. and offset to a consider
able extent the continuance of good
earnings by nearly all the leading sys-
TENS. Rumors of deals and cOnbina-
tions are still heard, and support is
given to many different groups of rail-
road stocks on this basis
1t may also be noted that while spec
ulative buying is of small proportions.
the investment demand for bonds and
dividend paying stocks of the best class
is on a large scale. The scarcity of
high grade bond issues is noteworthy
and has led to a marked demand for
securities of what may be termed the
second rank.
The January disbursements for divi-
dends and interest viii undoubtedly be
the largest in the history of the United
States. and the demand for securities
in which to re-invest a considerable
portion of the fund thus released is
being to a certain extent anticipated
and discounted.

She retired the night before apparent

death is attributed to heart failure to
which she has been subject for some

About o'clock yesterday morning

answer and on going into the room he
found her apparently dead. The young

neighbOrs, but it was evident that his
mother had been dead for some time
Dr. Mccoy was called and after ex-
aiming the body he said that indica-
lions were that death had resulted
from heart failure and he thought the
woman had been dead for six OF seven
hours when found. The body was
taken to O'DOnnei's undertaking par

Washington, Dec. THE complete
report Of the deep waterways commits
sion was sent to the house of repre-
sentatives today by Secretary Root.
The project is one for a deep water

of a twenty zone foot waterway is given
at S206, 35s 900, and of thirty-foot
waterway at SSI7, 24s, 500. An additional

channel Of 1926, S92. 900. The cost of an
nuai maintenance of the twenty-One-
foot waterway is given at $2.34S. AIS. and
of the thirty-foot waterway, $2s930, 30S.
The most favorable route, the COM

For the first time in many weeks the

extensive decline. Wheat was started
upward by the foreign markets and
prompt response here compelled cover
