BARGAIN HUNTERS LEFT
NO EVERETT-MOORE SECURITIES
TO BE SOLD
Equities of the Syndicate at Pres
ent Appear to Promise a Sub
stantiaI SUM Over the
Liabilities.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 5.-The bank
ers' committee of seven, temporarily in
charge of the affairs of the Everett-Moore
syndicate, will resume it's sessions to-
morrow. No meeting of the com nittee
was held today. the members simply
81 mining up the work done during the
past three days. OF the future Chair
man Newc)mb SID:
"We are rapidly finding how nnch IN
debtedness. If any, there is on he diff
ferent traction companies, and If mem
bers of the syndicate have individual OBJ
legations, and if so, what the nature If
them is. This work probably will take
up something like two months
''Any statement of the amount of mcn-
ey over liabilities that may have been
reported was not official, ana ill net
have the sanction of the committee. No
such statement can be given out for
some time. Before the committee of seven
took charge of the syndicate affairs a
cursory examination showed that from
81, 100000 to $3,000000 could be reason4 blV
expected in equities after all obligations
have been entirely cancelled But this
largely depends on the keeping of mar
ket prices. There is no dicL osition to Sell
syndicate securities on the part of the
banks, and we do not expect any to be
thrown upon the market. In this case the
bargain hunters will get left, and will
have to go nome empty handed

MILLIONS FOR CRONKS
HEIRS OF JOHN CRONKHITE H.
SPIRED WITH HOPE
Senator Depev's Wife Said to BE One
OF the Hopeful Beneficiaries of
Large Estate Made
in Gin Trade.

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 5.-Western heirs
to the Cronkhite estates of $S000O,O00 in
Holland are cheered by a revival of hope
that they may secure the payment of
their claims because of the fact that Mrs.
Chauncey M. Depew is one of the claim
ants, and is expected to enlist the serv-
ices of her distinguished husband in
pressing the claims through the govern
ments Of the two countries
The money was left by Casper Cronk-
hite who amassed a vast fortune in the
gin industry. He had quarreled with a
brother, John, who had come to America,
and in his desire to cut off the latter
left the money to the government of Hol-
land, with the provision that after 100
years it should be distributed among the
descendants of his brothers.
This period recently expired, and the
Holland government advertised for the
heirs. They include, beside Mrs. Depew,
Fred Cronk, of Chicago; Frank Cronk,
of Elllhart, Ind; Mrs. Charles Mason,
of Argentine, Kan, and about fifty 9TH
ers living in Pennsylvania, New York
and Michigan. These are the descendants
of John Cronkhite, the family name hav-
ing been shortened after the quarrel with
the rich HOllander.

THE BOY WENT HOME
PROMISING NEW YORK SENSATION
PETERS OUT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The police today
sent out a general alarm, telling of the
disappearance of Allan Mallory, ten-year-
old son of Charles Mallory, a Chicago
stockbroker. Mrs. Mallory and the boy
were on their way from Chicago to Bos-
ton to visit relatives. Stopping over
here Mrs. Mallory went shopping yester-
day afternoon with Allan, and lost track
of him. Private search having failed the
police were asked to take the case, and
a telegram was sent tonight to Mr.. Mall
lory. The boy had with him $50 in money
and a railway pass between Chicago and
Buffalo.
Later-At 1920 o'clock tonight, while
Mrs. Mallory was talking to Mr. NAL
lory in Chicago over the telephone, Mr..
Mallory suddenly interrupted her, and
announced that Allan had just walked
into the house at Englewood, Chicago.
1t seems that it was the intention to
place Allan in a school at Stamford,
Conn. Last week he was taken to see
the place, and announced that he did not
care to enter the school. He was not
taken seriously, but when he and his
mother reached New York to make some
purchases the lad quietly boarded train
and set out for home.

WILL NOT WEAR TIGHTS
MARGUERITA SYLVIA TELLS THE
REASON WHY
PhysiOIOgicaIly, if Not Morally, TIC
Skin-Fitting Garments Have
Very Bad Effect on Those
Who Wear Them.
Special to The Globe.

OMAHA, Neb Jan. 5.-Marguerita
Sylvia, who has starred for three years
in the comic opera Princess Chic,'' has
foresworn tights. She expresses the hope
that when her resignation from the
Kirk LaShelle company takes effect next
Saturday, she will never be obliged to
don the odiOus garb again.
The actress aversion to tights is from
physiological rather than moral reasons,
and her views are seconded by her ply
sician. Tights are the most exhausting
clothes than can be worn,'' said the
singer. when l -aise my arm the ef-
fort is as great as if i were lifting one
whole side of my body" The role of
Princess Chic requires changes from
white to black and to red tights, and
there is no relief from the excessive pres
sure during the entire three hours. The
princess makes an appearance in skirts,
but the interval is so brief that the
tights must be worn underneath, and
there is no relief"
Miss Sylva's physician was more ex-
plicit, explaining that vital organs are
so compressed by tights as to cause pos
tive injury.
