the curtain is up. and the pictures are
appropriate and worthy Of the applause
they inspire. The play will be present
ed four times more and should be greet
ed by large houses each time.

NEW YORK, July Incorporation
Counsel Pendleton has received the
Legacy of $1S7.746 given to the city by
the will of Betsey Head. She died In
June last year and left one-half OF her
property TO various charitable insti-
tutions and the other half to the city
to be devoted to the Improvement of

before her mothers death, eloped with
VIM. F. Bodley. the family coachman.
Bodley afterwards got a job as gar
dener on the nearby estate OF VIM. X.

"Oh. no. did not miss a single

NEW YORK. July 22.-Although
American stocks were active and
showed evidences OF realizing sales In
London. the opening In Wall-st., today,
was buoyant with all issues showing
fractional advances. During the first
ten minutes of trading. the gains were
increased until they averaged nearly
point In Reading and Union Pacific.
The copper shares also showed an inn
provement; Amalgamated Copper
gaining rs, Anaconda 3-S and Smelt-
ers 1-2. The steel shares showed evil
dences OF profit taking at this point.
Realizing sales made their appear
ance, resulting In losses OF about half
point from the high figures in the
leaders. The steel shares were the
chief sufferers In this movement, the
common declining quarter and the pre-
ferred half. In connection with these
issues II was reported about the street
that a junior partner Of J. p Morgan
Is interested in pool In the common
stock and has a company OF noted
magazine editor and director OF the
steel trust who Is now in Europe. IL
Is said that they acquired their stock
around 80 and as yet show no DISPOSE
ton to take profits.
Westinghouse Electric was again &C
tive and strong, advancing l5 IL
points during the first hour OF trading.
This makes a gain of nearly twenty
six points in the last two days.

NEW YORK HAS A BATTLING
BOILER ROOM MuRDER-vlcTlM
PROBABLY pRUeeEo BEFORE
4 BEING KILLED.

NEW YORK, July pa pretty
young woman, apparently "a years old,
neatly attired and OF refined appear
ance, was shot and instantly killed in
Irving Square park, Brooklyn. early
today, by man who escaped.
Every possible means of identified
ton has been destroyed by the assas-
sin, save silver handled umbrella
which bear the name Of New York
department store.
The body was found In the boiler
room adjoining the shelter house of
the park 20 minutes after the girl
was slain, but SO skilfully had the
murderer laid his plans. the police ad-
init, that he left for them one OF the
most mysterious cases with which
they have been called upon TO con-
tend In many years.
Policeman Rudolph Kohler, heard
the shot and began search. He was
walking by the shelter house when
he noticed that one of its doors was
open He found that the house was
deserted and went into the boiler
room adjoining. Striking a match he
saw the form OF woman on top OF
coal bin. She had been shot through
the right temple.
The woman lay on her back with her
feet crossed. Her clothes were neat
ly arranged and there was no indica-
ton that she had struggled. 1t seem
ed to the police from the manner In
which the head rested that the slayer
had first given his victim a drug and
then shot her while insensible.

ADDITIONAL EXIT
FOR ELECTRIC PARK

The common council adopted a
resolution Tuesday evening allowing
the Electric Park management TO con-
struct an exit bridge connecting with
Belle Isle bridge. The reasons for the
permission are told IN the following
emotional near-sentence:
Ii is quite apparent upon a personal
investigation OF the premises that
should fire occur at any point on the
pier, particularly about midway. those
OF the people who should be unfortu-
nate enough to be on the pier proper
would be cut of absolutely from all
exits, and they full well knowing that
IL would possibly result In the loss of
many lives. the very thought OF which
alone makes one shudder even though
we were absolutely certain and conf
dent that nothing OF this character
could ever happen.
The city's legal department had ad-
vised that the council has no right
to grant such permission.

Dear Sir: This is in regard TO the
general movement on the part of the
railroads To increase freight rates. to
which so much publicity has been
given and which has received consid-
cradle attention from the committee
on transportation and the directors OF
this board. am addressing you on
the subject at the request OF the
directors, whose unanimous opinion II
is that carriers ought not TO put ad-
vanced rates into effect at this or at
any time without formal hearing OF
the interests affected. The following
recommendation from the twenty
first annual report of the Int, state
Commerce Commission embodles ex-
actly the view taken by our transpor-
tation committee and directors:
There ought TO be some tri-
bunal To which shippers can ap-
peal with authority. If such a
course seems just, TO prohibit the
advance or the change until the
general question can be consider
ed.
I'VE therefore recommend that
when an advance in rates or
change in any regulation or prac-
tice Is attacked by complaint TO
this commission, the commission
shall have the power, at its dis
erection, after notice 10. and hear
ing of. the parties. TO prohibit the
taking effect OF the advance or
change until the matter has been
finally heard and determined"
Your good Offices TO help bring
about legislation that will clothe the
commission with the power necessary
will be appreciated by your constitu-
ents and fellow members OF the Board
of Commerce.
