Richard Mansfield has made Ivan. :
translated into English by Madame de
Meissner, well known TO play-SoerS

ment, to concentrate all power in the
hands Of the weak though well-nean-
ing Tsar The liberal element is en-
bodied in the character of Prince Shu-

were being brought in from the parish
house. Even then many stood throughout
the services.
As DR.. Crapsey entered with the vested
choir any one who might have expected to
see a change in his appearance was dis
appointed. His manner at no time during
the morning betrayed any change or gave
any evidence of emotion. He went about
his ritualistic duties apparently unmoved,
and when he addressed the congregation
il was calmly, dispase!onately, and in a
manner entirely free from any bitterness
which the events of the last few days might
have occasioned.
Mrs. Crapsev sat throughout the SER
vice in the south transept, At the close OF
the service she went to the rectory. She
has been closely associated with her hus-
band in his illustrations to the members
of st. Andrews and evidently finds it more
difficult TO bear up against the strain. She
was visibly affected to-day, and after church
had 70 refuse to see visitors.
Before he ginning his DR.. Crapsey
read a call for "A meeting OF the congre ga
ton Wednesday night for the discussion
Of important matters. 1t ia supposed that
the meeting is for the purpose of acting on
DR.. Crapsey's withdrawal from the church
and to arrange for supplying the pulpit.
DR.. Crapsey will preach al the Thanks
giving Day service and next Sunday morn
ing he expects TO preach his last sermon as
rector of st. Andrews. So far there has
been no indication of a general withdrawal
of DR. Crapsey's 'sympathizers from the
church, although il il known that some
members intend to leave with him. On
the other hand. DIR. Crapsey has planned
10 have the work of the parish continueu
uninterruptedly and hopes that his parish

ceeds him.
In his sermon to-day Or. Crapsey denied
the theory of an eternal God sitting in

STILL CROSSED THE STATE LINE.
IN His Desire TO See His WIFE He Gets into
This state and Is Arrested for Forgery.

M%IDDLETowN, N. Y, Nov. 25.-The desire
of an alleged forger to see his wife before
going to jail has saved the police authorities
Of this city and Gov. Higgins the trouble
of making requisition on the Governor Of
New Jersey for the person Of Frank F.
Still. 1t is alleged that on August IA Still
forged the names of Wesley Clark n
Hobert Ebenbradt, well known farmers Of
Greenville, n. Y, to a note for sS5.55, which
was discounted by the Merchants National
Bank Of this city. Still fed to Sussex.
N. j., and was located there Saturday
night.
Chief of Police Brinkerhof and Charles
d. Boyd, cashier Of the bank, went to Sussex
late Saturday night and found Still in the
barroom of the Harrison House, in COM
pany with twenty-five men. Cashier Boyd
picked him out and Constable Martin of
Sussex made the arrest. Still was to be
taken to Newton Jail to await requisiti0n,
but pleaded so hard to see his wife that
Constable Martin drove him there. Chief
Brinkerhoh followed in an automobile, and
during the journey discovered that the
State .ine had been crossed. He imme-
diately drove the automobile alongside the
wagon containing the alleged forger and
placed him under arrest in New York State.
Still was brought to this city at l o'clock
this morning, where he will ave a hearing
tomorrow.

FOUND A HEADLESS GRAIN POOL.
Interstate Commission Discovers Thai o
Elevators COntr oiled Trade.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-A combination OF
900 Northwestern grain elevators, dominat-
ing the whole market of the United States
and largely that Of the world through a
headless pool. was discovered by Frank in
X. Lane and c.. A. Prouty OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission in their hearing in
Minnesota last week.
Commissioner Lane told Of this pool
while in Chicago yesterday. Every book,
letter OF other document of the pool has
been carefully burned. Not a scrap of
discriminating evidence has been discover
able. Had it not been for the testimony
of the witnesses that trail would nave been
hard 20 follow.
A great part of this burning was done
recently, sale Mr.. Lane, apparently TO
foreetall Investigation. 1t il said hat
La Toilette investigating act by Congress.
No evidence was discovered that the
pool is o in operation, but its trail il plain
up TO the first Of this year.
Throughout Minnesota, North Dakota
and South Dakota, according To Mr.. Lane,
agents of the -headless pool were sta
toned. Business was divided among 900
elevators at more than two hundred rail-
road stations, at which the pool controlled
the market on wheat, barley, fax and oats,
As the Northwest produces more than one
third of the wheat of the United States
and is a factor proportionately large in
other grains, it was able to dictate the mar
ket price at Chicago, Baltimore, New Or
leans and all other dealing and shipping
points.
Testimony Of agents Of elevator COM
panies who in behalf Of their corporations
had concluded the dominating agreement
was obtained by the commissioners
Though the pool was headless, being
without president or secretary or any other
officer, except a somewhat indefinite cen
eral agent, ' a system Of penalties was agreed
upon and was rigidly enforced when any
member Of the pool was caught violating
the edicts of the central council. All wit
nesses, said Mr.. Lane. strenu ously denied
there is any such "gentlemen's agreement
at present. One explained that it is no
longer necessary. As books and papers
have been destroyed. this possibly win be
difficult to disprove.
"The effect of this pool on the price Of
grain must have been one of the dominat-
ing factors" said Mr.. Lane. by COM
bining at the head waters Of the grain cur
rent. this pool apparently was able to reach
and control the market at the mouth Of the
Mississippi and on the Atlantic Coast"

MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS.


a meeting Of the board Of directors
OF The Fifth Avenue Rank Of New York, held
November %. 1905. the following minute was
adopted:
The honored and successful career Of Edward A.
Price Is ended. For many years the Fifth
Avenue Bank has had the benent of his great
business ability. .and II Is difncult 70 record in
words our appreciation of his merits and OF
his services to this bank.
His great store Of expert knowledge. the fruit
of nifty years OF active business life, was always
al our command. Year after year his almost
infaliible judgment guided this institution
safely past the dangers OF douo tfuI mercantile
credits.
The Fifth Avenue Bank is much poorer by tho
loss OF MIR. Price. but Its loss is merged IN the
greater loss OF the city OF New YORK. He was
one OF those who make our city and nation
great. His name was not seen In the public
prints; his work was not OF the sort that calls
for public acclaim; but the great current %
that Is the likelihood Of our com.
mnnlty moved faster and freer because OF bis
Efforts.
Modest. genial aud kindly. II was a pleasure ~
meet him. He had learned TO carry the bur.
deus OF responsibility with an unruined temper,
and the cares and worries OF business found
no reflection In his demeanor,
His memory Is a choice possession Of those VaO
knew hlm; we feel ourselves the better for
having been associated with him: We share
the sorrow OF his bereaved family, and tender
To them this slight appreciation OF his merits.
Resolved. That an eng TOSSED copy OF this minute
be sent TO the family. D.. H.. FANCHER.
