WALL STREET
IS INACTIVE
LITTLE BUSINESS DONE ON Ex-
CHANGE
CROP REPORTS HAVE BAD EF-
Feet
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Stocks Take Drop-Money
on Call Continues
Easy
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Today's small total
OF business accomplished at the stock ex-
change was done mostly in few short periods
or comparative activity.
For the greater part Of the session the
market offered an appearance of stagnation
greater than at any time this year. this alone
sufficing to account for the general tendency
OF prices to strengthen. The wide declines
recorded in some usually inactive stocks on
light transactions made bad impression,
owing to the suggestion OF paralysis OIL any
demand to necessitate such radical price con-
cessions to effect sales. New York. New
Haven, & Hartford was conspicuous example
with a drop to 142 following reports that new
stocks were to be offered to stockholders az
125 without provision of an underwriting syndi-
cate.
The company's last offering of stock was at
150. The prices in the general list were moder-
rate and showed evidence Of occasional re-
straint. The most important news develop
rent to account for 1t was the report OF Kill
ing frosts in the west extending to the north
ern portions Of the corn belt, the lateness. OF
the crop in maturing this year giving occasion
for some reaction This was soothing TO some
extent when the moderate effect OF the news
on corn itself perceived.
One cause for the halt In speculative activity
was the desire to await the outcome OF con-
ferences in progress to decide the pattern for
new steel rails as It is felt that the decision
will be followed by clearer light on the di,
mensions of the steel rail requirements and
it's bearing on the future activity of the steel
trade as whole. A recovery in the London
price of copper was feature of the day
news and this helped the copper industriais
to resist the depression.
Money on call continued easy but the ship
nent of currency 20 the crop regions Is nov
actively in progress and likely to continue loi
some time.
The covering of shorts put out in the morn
ing before the session closed marked the pro
fessional and narrow nature of the marke
and reduced most of the declines to trivia
propositions.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales par vaiue
se,074,oOO Government bonds were unchanged

Taking her son to a home for boys. she
walked the streets seeking work. Her
strength soon failed and she was found
late at night lying in hallway.
The police thought she was vagrant
and she was locked up. In court the next
day the countess tried to tell her story,
but the judge believed she was shamming.
He sent her to the Raymond street Jail
for ten days.
The countess after this experience re-
established herself in the dressmaking
business and now has a lucrative Glen
tele.

yesterday. Il shall devote the rest of my
life to helping others. My terrible ex-
perience has taught me how necessary it
is for woman to know how to support
herself. While in jail met many women
who told me that every bit of hard luck
they knew had come from their inability
to earn money. 1t made me forget my
own sufferings to hear the heartbreaking
stories some of them told. I resolved that
if / ever was able to do it 1 would start

CLAM CH0WDER MAKES HIT
WITH CHEF TIC PRINCESS
Culinary Ambassador Finds Only One
Good American Diet in New

the Kaiser

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Delighted at
having one dish of distinctly American
origin in New York, Albert Neumann,
chef to Crown Princess Cecelie of Ger
many, has sailed for home. He's going to
serve clam chowder to Kaiser Bill next
time Bill drops in to lunch with his
daughter-in-law.
Neumann has been up against it, He
came over to study American cooking and
somebody shunted hims into the st. Regis
hotel, where nearly every dish was an
old friend He never got a glimpse Of
scrapple, and clam chowder was virtu-
ally the only un-European. thing he
sighted.
Albert took to clam chowder instanter
1T will, of course, said he. "be diff
cult for me to say wnat American dishes
shall submit for the approval of her,
royal highness, but 1 think that, every
thing considered, clam chowder is as dis
tinctive and as palatable one of purely
American origin as l have yet tasted
Here in New York the influence of
European standards of cooking is marked
But / am interested in finding things
here that are unknown in Europe and
for that reason l venture to admire clam
chowder, which / regard as a most ex-
cei;ent dish. have tried it in several res
taurahts and l think it would be greatly
appreciated if introduced in Germany.
The CLAIMS would have to be sent from
here, but in these days of cold storage
that ought to be easily done. I find all

especially, well cooked in this country.

COUNTESS OPENS SCHOOL
TO AID WOMEN IN NEED
ONCE sHoNE IN COURT OF
EMPRESS
ProfitIng by Her Own Sad Experience,
Titled Austrian Will Teach
FriendIess How to Make
Living

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-Countess Caro-
line o. s. Won Schimon, once attached to
the court of Empress Elizabeth of Aus
tria, but lately living in obscurity In an
unpretentious fiat at 525 Wythe avenue,
Brooklyn, will on Monday open school
to aid friendless women. The institution,
which is being fitted up from her slender
means, will be at 166 Broadway, Williams
burg, and the countess intends 1t shall be
self-sustaining.
The idea will be to teach girls and wo-
men dressmakng, millinery, cooking and
other accomplishments that will enable
them to make their own way in the
world. The scheme was evolved by the
countess while she was a prisoner in the
Raymond street Jail in Brooklyn three
years ago.
Her iail experience came as a climax
to several years of hardship, while trying
to support herself and her son, Maximil-
ian, now IA years old. Countess von
Shimon, despite her years of trouble, still
shows evidence of the beauty that was
hers while she was member OF the Aus
trian empresses' household.
Father Lost His Fortune
The countess father was years ago a
general in the Austrian army and for
time was at the head of the war depart
ment of that government Her mother
was of the Austrian nobility. In 1873,
while the countess was young woman,
her father lost his fortune in the Aus
trian worlds fair, as did many other
wealthy Austrians. 1t preyed upon his
mind and the following year he died A
wear later the countess lost her mother.
For some time the countess had been
attached to the court, and 1t was under
the espionage of the empress that she
was brought up. After she lost her pa
rents she decided to make her own living.
Against the protestations of the en-.
press the young girl left the royal palace
and obtained situation as housekeeper.
Her relatives strongly objected asserting
1t degraded the family name They in
duced Emperor Franz josef to offer the
girl a substantial pension by which she
might live in the style fitting her title,
but she refused to accept it. The count
ess further scandalzed her relatives by
marrying George Scnwandorf, plain.
hard working Austrian, whose family
tree had no touch of nobility. They lived
happily for several We s, then her hus-
band died.
Twelve years ago, with her boy. the
countess came to this country and moved
into fiat at 1926 Fulton street. Brooklyn
She had learned how to make dresses and
hats and for time her custom was large
and profitable. Then she became Ill and
for months was unable to work Her Gus
toners went elsewhere and the countess
savings dwindled.
She managed, by dint of economy, to
maintain herself and her son for some
time by living out as a housekeeper but
sickness again intervened and the coun-
tess in the winter of 1904 found herself
unable to pay the rent for her fiat Then
came the dispossession.
In JaiI as vagrant
1t would have been easy for the countess
to obtain aid but her resolution not to
accept assistance was still dominant.
