Side as big Tim" to-day distributed
among the poverty.stricken clans OF

shoes were given to each Of the 5000
men who were the guests Of "the Big

secret is buried in the big heart of
''Big Tim" but on this same day every
year several thousand of sillivan's
political supporters put on a warm
pair Of new shoes and stockings. Per-
haps the "Bowery buns" who share
in this generosity don't know that
they are helping their leader keep an
ami, ersary. but It is certain that
they all think of him on that day of

WHEELING, W. va, Feb. G.-Thers
is general sentiment in this city and
vicinity, regardless Of political: afilia-
ton. in favor OF the Aldrich financial
measure that comes up for considers
tion in the United States senate Mon.
day OF next week. The bill is one
which provides for an increase in the
currency OF the country OF s5oO,Ooo,-

currency a necessity.
tits hardly likely that there is an
other section of the country which
has suffered so greatly because of the
recent panic as Wheeling and yicin-
ity. This is an Industrial section
where thousands are employed in the
mills and in the coal mines. When
the panic started and the banks and
the big manufacturing concerns were
unable to get currency there was a
general shut down OF mills and mines.
Big Industries that were forced to
stop were the Riverside plant OF the
National Tube Company, employing
$500 men; the Wheeling. Martins Fer
ry and Benwood plants OF the Wheel.
ing steel and Iron Company, employ
ing 5000 men: Wheeling plant OF the
La Belle iron Company, employing 500
men: the La Belle plant OF the Ameri-
can Tin Plate Company, employing
i 900 men. But few OF the big mines
were able to work and almost all Of
the smaller factories and plants closed
down.
The heads Of these various con-
Germs are unit in saying that.the rea-
son they were forced to shut down
was their inability to get currency.
They depend on the local banks for
their pay rolls: the local banks de-
pend on the. Pittsburg financial insti-
tutions and as Plttsburg refused to
send currency to the Wheeling banks
Wheeling industries had to stop. The
Fittsburg banks say they depend ON
New York and as the New York banks
were suffering with money tlghtness
they were unable to get additional cur
rency, In tact. eondit ions. reached
such a stage here that local banks
would not cash out of town checks.
Manufacturers and business men
say that had bill in the nature of the
Aldrich bill been law there would
have been no panic. Under 1t they
would have been able to get all the
currency they needed and the mills
would still be in operation. 1t is in
deed true that within the past few
weeks there has been an Improvement
in conditions, but normal conditions
are still far away. So serious have
matters become that hundreds of peo.
pie are in want and this city and the
surrounding communities are support:
ing them.
A very prominent business man who
favors the AldrIch bill is Mr.. Roy B.
NayIor, the secretary of the State
board of trade, whose home is in this
city. He. states that with the Aldrich
bill a law 1T would be simply impos-
sible for another panic, such as we
have had, to occur. He says the bill
is one which fills the necessary want.
The opinion of Mr.. Naylor is we'll
worth consideration as he is man
who has given the matter careful and
considerate study.

GETTING TOGETHER.

Within tho last few days the ques- Ition of the taxation of Yale has taken on an entirely new aspect From being a problem of taxing every inch of ground which Yale may own in the city of New Haven, it has changed to question whether those properties should not be taxed which are owned by the university within the city but not used for educational purposes but rather held for its future growth or as revenue producers,
 Tho Journal Courier has insistently refused to endorse tho plan to tax Yale It has shown any number of grounds why such a thing should not be done These do not need rehearsng at this time. It realizes, however, that if a beginning were to be made toward tax ing the university, 1t would most prop Iery come as regards these properties about the city which the university Is not today using directly for educational purposes There can be no question but that the Yale charter exempts the campus and it's adjacent buildings from taxation, but there may be some doubt whether the charter allows that cx- emption to be extended to other prop critics about the city,
 It is interesting 10 learn, in this con
 nection, that the university officials have expressed a willingness to meet
 with the aldermanic committee on leg
 islation to take up this pressing mat ter in detail. Such conference has
 y been arranged for this week with Treasurer Lee McClung of Yale.
 Scarcely a month passes when there Is
 not some new evidence of town" and
 gown" getting nearer together to take | up matters of interest to each. This Is |another example of It. The question Of taxing Yale is a highly important one
 For that reason it is necessary that it
 should be settled as soon as possible. Such a meeting as is planned for this week can materially hasten that final Iseltlement

 It Is not at all surprising that prose- cutting officers hesitate to push Tor trial cases in which employees of great corporations are charged with man slaughter in causing the death Of per sons in accidents, The announcement comes from New Haven that State Attorney Williams of New Haven coun- ty entered a nolle in the case of Will Ham b. Fisher of Waterbury, the en- gineer who was in charge of the train which was conveying Governor Woodruff, his staff and the New Haven Grays home from Waterbury over a year ago, when an accident occurred which resulted In loss of life.
 Fishers case showed negligence up- on his part, but there were circum- stances accompanying his service for the company which did not seem 10 fix the blame entirely upon him. The case was tired by jury and there was a disagreement IL Is this fact that no doubt led state Attorney Williams to enter the nolle,
 The average iuryman does not feel like holding q workman responsible for even actual negligence when lt may be that tho actions of officials over him were indirectly the cause for the ac- cident This seems to he the meaning oG the outcome in the Fisher case,
