INVITATION
GIVEN NOT
AN INSULT

New York, Dec 19-Two deaf mutes
gave Magistrate Whitman a judicial task
in the Harlem Police court that held up
the court routine for nearly an hour. The
prisoner was Frederick Menkin, an Eng
lishman, who lives at 26l9 Eighth avenue.
The complainant was Mcritz Schoenfeld,
who lives at 2S6 West one Hundred ana
Twenty-ninth street. Both OF them are
deaf mutes, hut are proficient I'm the sign
language.
Menkin can speak I'm the English finger
symbols with great volubility. Schoenfeid
Is equally as adept In the German sign
language But the English finger-wag-
ging is all Greek TO him and 80 Is the Ger
man TO Menkin.
The charge against Menkin was that
he had called Schoenfed "a liar and
blackleg" The Englishman was accused
OF beating the German I'm free hght In
the street A policeman told the magls-
trate what the charges were.
But how could he have called this
man such names" said Magistrate
Whitman 1T certainly passes my under
standing"
Menkin had a half dozen deafmute
friends I'm court and so did Schoenfeld.
Their hands all shot up at once, and
there was a tempest OF finger wagging
that completely upset the dignity Of the
court.
II was evident that they were saying
some very hard things about one another.
II was observed that Menkin and his
friends were dropping the letter II
around on the floor.
"Can any one here tell me what all
this wiggling OF fingers means?' at last
called out Magistrate Whitman. 1T looks
ia me as II these two men were calling
each other the hardest kind OF names
right here before the court.
At that n little girl OF II stepped TO the
front She was the daughter OF Menkin.
and explained that Il was all due TO
mistake She said her father had not
called Schoenfeld "a liar and blackleg."

but had really said, Lets go and have a
drink"
But Schoenfeld could not be made "a
understand, and so the magistrate held
Menkin In nominal bail 20 keep the peace.
and advised him to teach his fingers the
German language.

Duke, who was sitting behind her coun

toward the witness in n half admonitory,
half -coquettish manner.
The testimony was in denial OF the
point raised by Mrs. Dukes counsel that
Mr.. Dukes actual residence WIS IN New

was led by Rev. Isaac Skoog of Paxton,

The artificial revival, it was declared,

rests it's success upon the popularity and

MINNESOTA MAY
LOSE EDUCATORS
D1sPLEAsURE OVER CoNTINU-
ANCE OF BOARD O FCoNTRoL.
Rumor Says that This Resentment May
Lead to the Seeking Of New Fields by
Some of the Most Brilliant Tutors
Connected with the jFaculty.

The university may lose some of the
strongest men in it's faculty.. Several
professors, opposed TO the board of con-
troll system, had planned, it is said, to
leave, unless measures were taken by
the legislature to obviate the intolerable
of the present system. The
action of the senate yesterday in killing
the Peterson bill is looked on as death
blow to hopes in this direction, and it
is probable that offers to some of the
professors by other universities will be
accepted.
Two years ago the rumor that three
of the most popular of the academic
professors were considering accepting
more lucrative positions elsewhere re-
suited in mass meetings and petitions
from the students who asked that they
reconsider their determinations. DR..
Woodbridge resigned and went to the
Columbia chair Of psychology.
The present situation resembles that
of two years ago except that the salary
question is not uppermost. Dissatis-
faction, prevalent thru all the depart
ments, is especially strong in the de-
partment of engineering where there
has been the most annoyance caused by
the delays in obtaining materials and
supplies.

500 BOOM BASED
ON EARNING GAINS
QUOTATIONS FLUCTUATE WILD
LY; TRADERS EXCITED.
Directors Will Meet in Minneapolis
March New York Looks for a Di-
vidend Increase, but Minneapolis
Holders Don't-London Said to Be
Buying Largely and Further Rise Is
Expected.

500 common stock having advanced
yesterday from '1o5B to lis, opened
this morning on the New York Stock
exchange at III and sold to ll71h. Prl-
vate-wire advices to Minneapolis bro
ers said the excitement around the 500
crowd on the exchange was very great.
The stock, had sold from 1l7h
down to 1875, back to ll5 and up
to 116, then to ia, and in one jump
back to 11e and 1l614. Other stocks
caught the fever. Twin City common
sold up to 108. 5s
Rumors of a corner in 500 came out
again, but were unsubstantiated. Sew
eral Minneapolis traders are reported
to have bought in short stock yester-
day at heavy loss, having sold it
around 104 and paying Ill and 112 for
it to cover short sales. This morning
they were consoling themselves with
the thought that it might have been
worse had they remained short over
night.
The close was 1854 for the common
and, ISL for the preferred, and 5000
shares of common changed hands.
The directors will meet in Minneapo-
lis about March l to act on the divi-
dend. It is not believed here that the
rate will be increased.
NeW 1OIh ISepOlt'
A special dispatch to The Jour
n a from New York today says:
The boom in 500 stock is due to ur-
gent buying. The earnings of the 500
have shown marked improvements in
the last six months, and now that the
company's Winni peg extension is in &C.
tive operation, the results are so salts
factory that at no remote period the
company will increase it's dividend on
the common stock. It is not likely
however, that such action will be taken
at the Forthcoming meeting, as there
is little of the stock available for mar
ket purposes. Its advance Of 9 points
in a day is not surprising, and it is
not unlikely that in the course of the
current year much better quotation
will be recorded.
The Canadian Pacific company holds
81 per cent Of the 500 stocks and is
also getting the benefit Of the boom.
The Canadian Pacific has valuable
asset in its 500 holdings, not merely on
a basis Of present market prices, but
also on the basis of substantial earning
power.
It is understood large holder of
500 stocks recently received an offer
considerably above the present market
price for 10000 shares of preferred
stock. London is buying 500 common
and it is understood the preferred will
now be taken in hand by the same peo-
pie who are interested in common, adj
vancing the price to 200.
