WOMEN IN THE STOCK MARKET
Wall Street Brokers Have Private
Rooms for Fair Patrons.

The number of women spectators
Is amazingly large-mucb larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but it is fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rooms for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-.
frances There are several reasons
for this. One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, without
the knowledge Of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this ac.
count they desire privacy, desire to
move and have their Wall street be-
ing unknown. Another reason Is that
the broker himself desires it, princi.
pally, be 1t confessed, because he is
anxious that if there be any Scenes"
they shall be private ones, "far from
the maddening crowds ignoble strife"
and sight. For truth comDels the
statement that women are poorer los.
ers than men. 1t Is the testimony OF
conservative brokers that woman
gambler is much more of a gambler
IMAM man-much more; that is, in
absorbing tenaciousness and almost
Vlndictiveness. She seems to be car.
ried out of and beyond herself to de-
gree that becomes uncomfortably dis
quieting when she loses. Even when
she is a winner, and, as l have said
me proportion of winners to loser
among women Is about one to twenty,
there seems to be in her satisfaction

Saturdays Tragedy.

on Saturday morning ]. P.
Farmer, an officer of the law,
serving warrant in the discharge
of hia duty, was mortalIy shot by
w. II. Sellers, at The threshold Of
house in which Sellers lived,
and in which Sellers was illegally
storing whiskey.
Before the waters become mud
died. a few facts should be made
clear. Sentiment is invaluable,
hu! it should not be misplaced.
The officer that was killed was
armed With all legal euthoritv
necessary to search the house. If
that was Sellers "home," the sem
timenta sanctity given such q
place was lost when b. prostitu-
ted It by making it q stnrehouse
for illicit whiskey. Again, the
man that attempted to make a
bargain with the officer before
su bmitting to legal process as to
what part of the house should not
be searched. was AID for years
has been utterly regardless and
defiant of he law. So far as his
conduct could make him, Sellers
was an outlaw.
The evolution Of Sellers from a
petty malefactor to a murderer lie
along natural lines. First, as news
bu cher, he imported small quan-
titles of whiskey and paddled it
to friends. Then he. established
himself in Columbia as "blind
tiger" handlirg liquor in larger
quantities. He was successful. He
has been known to import whis-
key in carload lots. Sometimes he
was fned; and he lost much
whiskey, but his profits were
great. He took pride in the title
"King Of Blind Tigers" We have
heard that Sellers pe~ma apently
retained a Columbia lawyer, for
an annual fee of $1,000 to care
for his interests when he got into
trouble through violation of the
law. So, openly and brazenly vio-
lating the law against selling IL
quor illicitly, and making money
in the process, Sellers got to con-
slider that be had "rlghts" in the
premises; for the protection Of
those "rights" he could command
legal talent, and when the officers
of the Law pressed him closely he
used q Winchester rifle against
them.
Who are responsible for Sellers
openly operating all illegal buei-
ness in Columbia in defiance of
the law? Who are responsible for
the law of the state and city be-
ing held in contempt? Who are
responsible for permitting public
nuisance to be maintained here?
Who must bear their share in this
shocking tragedy by which an
officer of the law is slain? Those
that for years have had the pow
er to crush this insolent outlaw
by utilizing the legal power in
their hands, and that have failed
70 do SO. Habitual violation of
aw has been treated lightly, as
in the nature of a joke.
AID from that seed this murder
has grown.
