MYSTERIOUS MUSIC IN BAD
LANDS.

One of the most interesting pheno-
mena is to be observed in the bad
lands of Arizona. Out in the midst OF
an alkali plain there is a desolate for
nation of rock covering only about an
acre in extent. and from these rocks.
or rather from beneath them, there
issues sounds of music as though an
organ was playing, and the strains are
echoed from every direction. The place
has never been excavated or fully eX-
plored, and the theory of scientists is
that there is a peculiar formation Of
stalactites in q cave there with an OPP
ening somewhere through which the
wind plays upon these stala cities, pro-
ducing the music. The Indians claim,
however, that a cathedral was at one
time built upon this place. and that
there was a bad priest placed in charge
of the cathedral, who abducted Indian
women and children. One night the
ground opened during a violent storm
and the earth closed in over the top
of this cathedral. The Indians believe
that the music which comes from the
ground proceeds from the ghosts Of
those who were inferred at the time
of the earthquake.

The Panama Canal Treaty.

1t is quite likely that the message
OF the president regarding the Panama
canal treaty will be transmitted to
congress today though that document
may be held until a later date. The
chief interest in it does not
lie in its treatment of the
affairs which have been hap
pening on the isthmus since early last
November. The views of the president
are already we'll known. If they could
not have been surmised from the
course of the administration in dealing
with the Republic of Panama they
would still have been rendered very
clear by the recent public address of
Assistant Secretary LOOMS of the
state department.
There is now belief that the treaty
will meet with little opposition on the
part Of the democratic senators. There

Canada cannot afford to ignore the
lust for expansion, which is rapidly
becoming a national sin in the Ameri-
can republic. We have already felt
Yankee encroachment. 1t is time that
we began to take measures to reduce
the supply of available pretexts upon
which further encroachments may be
attempted. Runners of United States
efforts to purchase the islands of Mi
quelon and St. Pierre are not pure fic-
ticn To the United States these two
islands would be of great strategic

But while q defeat of the treaty
would not alter political conditions on

SALARIES OF ENGLISH PREACH
ERS.

a considerable stir was caused bv
the proposal to increase the salary of
Bishop Potter to $4,000 Il year just
about the time he married a widow
worth s20,000,000. Clergymen draw
higher pay in England than here. For
instance. The archbishop of Canter-
bury, head of the Anglican church, re-
ceives $751; 900 annually. Bishops get
from $4,000 to $4,000 The emolu-
ments of deans vary between $4,000
and $4,000. Rectors, Wears and cur

LONG DISTANCE TRIAL. SERMON

The Jewish Chronicle says the pho
nograph has been put to very novel
use. Some time ago the Hungarian
Jews in Chicago wrote to the chief
rabbi of Pressburg in Hungary asking
him to recommend an orthodox rabbi
able to preach in their native language.
Pressburg is a long way from Chicago,
and it was too much to expect that
a rabbi could drop across for a Sabbath
to preach trial sermon. That was
where the monograph showed it's use.
The recommended candidate spoke his
best sermons in his best German and
Hungarian, into the instrument. and
when the records were reproduced in
Chicago, they gave such delight that
the preacher was elected at u hand
some salary.

Chicago, Jan. 2o.-The city council
last night adopted resolution permit
ting the reopening of theaters under GER

specified prerequisites that in the opin-
ion Of theater managers they cannot be
complied with in less than from three to
six months. This means the playhouses
will remain closed for an indefinite
period.
Chicago, Jan. 23.-Before the coroner's
jury Friday Harry J. Powers. director
and treasurer of the Iroquois Theater
company, and an associate manager of
the Inflated playhouse, placed the re-
sponsibility for the absence of fighting
appliances from the stage and audito-

admitted none of the blame for the con-
ditions which made the holocaust pos

TRADE REVIEW.
The General situation as Viewed BIZ
Leading Commercial Agencies
Effect of Weather Felt.

New York, Jan. Or. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather
conditions have furnished the chief in
fluences in the general trade situation.
To some extent traffic has been hindered
especially at the east. Retail distribu-
ton Of footwear and heavy wearing ap-
parel felt the stimulus, and annual clear
ance sales removed accumulations of
dry goods, millinery, etc. Wholesale
business is fairly active, travelling sales
men sending in about average orders,
and jobbing trade is normal. Manufac-
turing plants are more active, with lit
tie change in quotations, and the outlook
for spring trade is considered favorable.
Iron and steel plants that resumed at
the turn of the year have obtained suf1i-
Gent business to continue operating,
and thus far the adjustment of wages
has not produced the threatened strikes.
Failures this week numbered 1853 in
the United States against 265 last year,
and SO in Canada compared with ~ q
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Confidence in q
prosperous spring trade finds support in
an charging volume Of business at
southern and southeastern markets, an
awakening of interest at some north
western centers and growth even at CEN
trail, western and eastern markets,
where. however, weather conditions are
o drawback to the fullest activity"

"Citizen" George Francis Train, the
most eccentric man in America and one
OF those who for over half a century
has been one of the most conspicuous
ly notorious men of the world, was
born in Boston, Mass, in 1913. His life
was one of adventure, most of his
strange experiences arising from his
own idiosyncrasies, and he was before
the public more perhaps than any man
not in public life.
In 1902 Mr.. Train was candidate
for the presidency.
"It seemed to me-" he said, "that
with the effect always had on people
in my speeches and in personal contact
and with the record of great achieve
