A TUMBLE IN STOCKS
Various DisQuieting Rumors

(By the Associated Press J

New York. Nov. S.-Stocks broke sharp
ly at the opening of the market under
the lead of American Sugar refining aud
United States Steel shares and also in
fuenced by declines of y to q of point
for some American shares in London be-
fore the local opening. Soon, the entire
list gave way on heavy selling.
Two news reports did much to unsettle
prices-the advices from Chicago that the
yardmen in the general switching termi-
nails OF that city had refused to accept
the offer of the eighteen companies in
reply TO their demands for an increase
of FIVE per cent in wages, the officials be-
ing willing to make an increase of half
that amount The other report was that
Secretary Shaw had decided not to make
further deposits with national banks az
present. On top of this came an appar-
emily authentic statement that the big
banks had come to the decision to make
no more time loans for less than six per
cent, and that they intended to discrimi-
nate sharply in regard to the character
of the collateral on which they would
extend such accommodations.
A fall of Is points in United States

ton in view of the fact that todays low
price, S413, was the lowest ever touched

DEATH IN THE SMOKE
Two Men are SuffoCated. Two
Boys Narrowly Escape
a Like Fate.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. S.-Two men lost their
lives and two boys narrowly escaped
similar fate during a fire, which COM
municated from the subway to the mail
ing and press rooms in the cellar of the
New York Times building, today.
The dead:
JOHN DAILY.
WILLIAM MCCORMACK.
The boys. who were partially sutfo-
Gated, and are now in the hospital, are
John Powers and Myer Fishbone.
The men and boys were overcome by
smoke IN a small room used for mailing
purposes in the front of the cellar close
to where the fire started.
The fire originated in the explosion OF
gasoline lamp burning on one side of
a wooden partition separating the rapid
transit subway from the cellar of the
Times building. The partition, which
was covered on both sides with tar
paper, blazed fiercely setting fire to a
tank containing printing ink, which speed
lily ignited and gave forth dense clouds of
smoke that soon filled the cellar and
rolled up the elevator shafts.
The fire was extinguished in fifteen
minutes. The damage, which was con-
fined to the cellar, was estimated at
So 600.

 The large number of women in attend l ance upon the first lecture indicated un- | usual interest, for Monday morning is a busy one with majority of women. But not only was the lecture a success from 1 this point of view, but the women were enthusiastic and delighted. Mrs. Stevens lecture was preceded by a talk by MT. George w. Smith, who demonstrated the use of the gas stove.
 The stove and cooking utensils were arranged on the stage and every woman could hear and see without the slightest difficulty.
 Mrs. Stevens prepared delicious hot rolls and beautiful roast with Yorkshire pud- ding. Those dainty little bauche cases were also made and a delicious banana fritter. Mrs. Stevens last demonstration was the making of an orange omelet. She also prepared a sauce.
