international Mercantile Agency
Finds Holiday Demand Which
Promises to Extend Beyond Last
Year and Is an Effort to Quiet Con-

New York, Dec. 4.-Special kilograms
from correspondents Of the International

States and Canada are summarized as fol-
lows: The week is characterized by FUR
Their slackening industrialiys by wholesale
and retail Christmas demand which prom-
ises to expand the volume of holiday trade
beyond that of last year: by an increase
in the investment, demand for securities;
by the appreciation that money will begin
to flow eastward by Jan. l, and by the
spreading action on the part of manufac-
lures looking to reduction Of costs of pro-
duction. Wages of 100000 industrial en-
ployes have been reduced 10 per cent OF
more and preparations are making to ef-
feet a similar reduction with respect ia
300, 600 others in various lines on or about
Jan. l. At Philadelphia, cotton and wool
en- mills are running at about half ca
pacity. Paterson's silk year has not met
expectations Some eastern shoe factories
have turned out less Of late. Window
glass factories complain of importaticns
Paper mills have shut down to offset over
production in some cases, but in the pot
terry industry the year has been favorable
and the like is true with respect to coal
and fertilizers, while the copper, lumber
and jeWelry Industries report full average
outputs. A striking feature is the start
| ing up from day to day of establishments
which had shut down from various causes
and the increasing number of small orders
for iron and steel.
| Wooden goods sales have been extended
less than expected. At Philadelphia the
volume of dry goods trade for the season

CHANGED LAWS AND JUDGES
General Woods Action In Cuba Criticized
Before &C Committee,

Washington, Dec. 4.-Before the senate
committee on General Woods nomination
yesterday DR.. Pablo Desvernenie, who was
secretary of finance under the administra-
ton Of General Brooke as governor general
and later attorney for Major Rathbone,
gave testimony relating to the instruc-
lions given to the court by General Wood.
He charged that General Wood changed
laws in Cuba in order to admit ex parte
evidence in the postal cases. The effect
of the order was to@revert to laws in force
under the regime of colonial Spain, thirty
years before.
Witness said General Wood removed a
judge Of first instance and three Of the
associate judges because they did not
comply with the law as modified by Cen
eral Wood. The removal was made over
the protest of the bar association. To ap-
pease it's anger General Wood appointed
the deposed judges to positions on the
board of trustees of the bar association.
DR.. Desvernenfe said some Of the Judges
who tried the postal cases were not named
by General Brooke in the order creating
the courts, but owed their appointments
to General Wood. The witness declared
that General Woods orders to the judge
Of first instance had the effect of con.
trolling judicial powers and made Genera
Wood the court Of last appeal.

Don't confuse a gentle, upbuilding

verstised and commonly used.
Iron-Ox Tablets relieve constipation
by stimulating the stomach and bow
els to natural action. They tone up
the entire digestive system, causing
perfect digestion. perfect assimilation
and a natural flow Of fluids, so that
purgatives and -cathartics are unnec-

BY curing indigestion and constipa-

liver and kidneys, 1ron-Ox Tablets
purge the blood of impurities which
cause disfguring skin eruptions and
disease.
Besides this, they contain in con-
venient form the active principle OF
nerve and brain food, so that they are
unequaled system builders.
Any remedy which shocks the sys.
tenn into activity is dangerous. Do no,
expect immediate perceptible effects
from Iron-Ox Tablets. They produce

FIGURES REGARDED AS Low
Owners Ask About $4,000 for East Side
Rark 4 i !

Park Property.
Between, $4,000 and $4S,0 600 is asked by
owners for the property needed for the
East Side park. So considerate and just
have most of the owners been in fixing
values that it is not probable that the APP
praisers will go much below the figures
named.
At the melting Of the appraisers this
morning lots fronting on both Second
street and Ortman street were offered by
the owners at $500 and the opinions of the
real estate experts were that they were
worth from $3.50 and upwards. The gen.
eral view Of the real estate men was that
property fronting on Central avenue was
worth about $3.50 per front foot. There
is 103 feet Of this frontage With the i'm
provements these figures will make the to-
tai value of the block bounded by Cen
trail avenue Bank street, Second and Ort-
man street $27,325. The value of the block
bounded by University avenue, Ortman
street, Bank street and First avenue Sc,
! is about $20,420. The commission will
meet next Tuesday morning to hear fur
ther testimony and prepare Its report to
the park board.

Parker of New York for president next
year. He also believes Judge Parker
will make a strong candidate and that
the republicans will have to fight hard
to carry New York state for President
Roosevelt.
He has no fear that President
does not share the views of those re-
publicans who think the battle is to
be won with ease. He believes there
is to be a stiff and stubborn fight, and
that the republican ticket will win on
account Of the popularity of the pres
ident in the west and northwest.
Senator Hanna returned from New

and business. To a friend who saw
him there not long ago he expressed
the views given in the foregoing para

oRPHEUs' NEW DIRECTOR
Claude Madden Takes the Place of J
Victor Bergqulst.

Claude Madden has been selected as mu-
steal director for the sOrpheus Singing So
ciety in place Of j. Victor Bergquist who
has resigned. There has been a clash of
interests in the society for some time
which has seriously affected it's success.
Being very sensitive to the apparent lack
of interest in the club, Mr.. Bergquist re-
signed, rendered his resignation which was
accepted, but 1T is understood that his re-
lations with all the members of the So
ciety are extremely friendly.
To clear up, what the majority thought
was the real stumbling block, the resigna-
ton of Axel Anderson was requested and
promptly received. The friction between
the members developed several months
ago, but was concealed until the late
sangerfest which was such a magnificent
success. Robert Holmen has been elected
to the music committee, vice Axel And.
