Stock Gambling is
Betting on What
One Man May Do.
Do not gamble In Wall street.

Do not gamble In Wall street.
Stocks have tumbled to depth
unparalleled In ordinary times,
brokers ale calling on their margin
customers for more money, more
stocks are thrown on the market to
raise this money, and the tendency
of prices Is steadily downward.
This Is a sinister bulletin from
Wall street, but the relatively small
effect 1t has had on business In
general rather indicates that the
public at large Is not doing much
specializing just now.
The reason for the collapse OF
stocks IS reported to be a determi-
nation of the Rockfellers to batter
down prices.
To the innocent outsider 1t would
seem foolish thing for great capt.
talists to diminish the value of the
stocks they own, but the Wall
Street expert explains that the
Rockefellers have so much money
that they have difficulty In finding
profitable investments for 1t.
With $50, 900, 900 a year, or some
such income, rolling In upon him
from his Standard OH stock and
other investments, John D. Rookie
Teller finds himself being swamped
by the money he cannot spend.
His training and career have
made it second nature to him to add
as much as possible to his enormous
accumulation, and he cannot resist
the temptation to get the biggest
return tor his money possible. So
says the wise men, he Is deliberately
smashing prices In order that he
can 1einvest his accumulated In
CONS to the best advantage.
If this Is true, 1t Is also true that
when Mr.. Rockefeller has taken all
the low priced stock he will take
his hand of the market, and stocks
will stagger back to normal figures
ard remain there until his income
again accuuulates beyond the en-
durance of his financial conscience.
Os course, 1t makes no difference
to him whether the market value Of
his holdings ): L:ca or smell. II

Bloomington, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-Fully g.
900 letters have been received at the
Bloomington postoffice during the past
three days from New York collection
agency, all containing the same infor.
nation, and TO the effect that the re-
cipient of the letter had received a Ger.

due, sl.20, was Immediately RENTED
suit would be instituted.
Many of these letters were address
ed TO persons dead, or who had long
since moved away, and the supposi'
ton is that names had been secured
from an old directory or other ancient
source.
Postofiice inspectors have written to
the postmaster here to notify the recip'
tents of the letters to ignore the threat
as the scheme was inaugurated by
blackmailers. It is not believed that
any one here forwarded the money as
ordered.

ROOTS RESIGNATION

Washington. ID. c.. Dec. 2i--It be-
came known some time ago that Sec

Cabinet within the next few months
and he has not changed his intention
OF returning to the practice OF law. Al
though no date has been set. MIR. Roots
resignation viii probably be handed TO
the President TO take effect some time
next spring.

to the effect that Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw would soon succeed Mr..
Root at the head of the War Depart
mont and that Governor Crane o,
Massachusetts, would he appointed Sec
rotary of the Treasury has had no of
fetal confirmation
President Roosevelt has high opin-
ion of MIR. Cranes abilities and this
was shown nearly n year ago. when
he offered the Secretaryship Of the
Treasury to the Massachusetts man
before he offered II to Mr. Shaw. II Is
not known that Mr., Crane ia any more
willing to accept the place at this time
I than he was early in the year.
/ Nothing can be learned in regard to
/ the proposition that Mr.. Shaw be trans
ferred to the War Department. He
will not talk about the matter.
! There has been report in circula-
ton lately to the effect that Governor
Taft would temporarily succeed Mr.
Root as Secretary of War until the
place of Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court vacant. but there is no con-
firmation of this beyond the we'll
understood fact that sooner or later
Judge Taft will become a member OF
that court.

Christmas, the divine healer and for.
mer colleague of Richard Baxter. foun-
der OF the Christian Herald, London,
England, declares that the Doukhobors
were perfectly right in leaving their
wives. families, homes and goods to
preach the fact that Christ was com

hundreds Of testimonials on the cures
and prophesies he has made which
have been fulfilled. When asked how
he could justify such a course he re-
piled:
81 am afraid you are like the aver
age Christian of the day. Read Mat
thew xiv. and then answer me, have
not these things come to pass? Have
we not actual famine here? 1t is
needless TO refer to the pestilence or
the earthquakes. The awful catastro'
phe atMount Pelee is still fresh with
us. The Doukhobors recognize In
these the signs predicted which would
precede the second coming of Christ
and they started out as they are com
manded.
"These people. while simple, are bet

than many suppose. They know how

A New York financial writer in ac-

stocks on the New York Stock Ex-
change conveys the interesting infor-
nation that this is due to the efforts OF
a German financial ring to get control.
He says the buying OF Trust stock that
has been In progress for some time has
been for what may be called reor-
ganization OF the famous Magdeburg
ring. that attempted to corner the Ger
man beet sugar market, but failed.
WithVlt regard to that failure. this
ring IS the RICHEST combination in the
world. and they have sent an agent TO
this country to buy up the control OF
the American Sugar refineries, or, as
we call It, the sugar trust. They have
already obtained all OF the Standard
Oil, Flower, and Havemeyer stock. and
and will buy the control up to 200
They may not pass this figure unless
IL. is absolutely necessary to do so in
order to obtain stock, but IL Is certain
that they will go as high as that price
in order to carry through their scheme,
How much dependence can be placed
an the reports sent out by agencies hav-
ing part in the great gamble of the

say. but 1t would be interesting indeed
