ELEVATOR MEN TO Fight
GRAIN SHIPPERS TO JOIN IN
CONTEST AT CHICAGO.
Will Oppose Order of I. c. Commits
sion Prohibiting Further Pay
ments of Allowances by r. r.

CHICAGO, November 13.-The large
grain shipping interests Of the Chicago
Board of Trade decided yesterday to join
forces with the eastern grain exchanges
in opposing the order of the interstate
commerce commission prohibiting the
payment by the railroads Of an allowance
for the transfer and elevation service
performed by the grain elevator COM
panies. The railroads have served notice
that they propose to obey the order OF
the commission, and that the payment OF
the allowances will cease after Janu-
airy ].
Although the board of trade itself has
decided to remain inactive in the matter
being content to have the allowance
removed. providing it Is removed at all
other points, fifteen or twenty OF the
large companies owning extensive eie-
vator facilities are decidedly opposed to
having their revenues decreased in this
way. which practically amounts to an in
crease in the rates on grain, and viii
send protest to the individual railroads
and to the interstate commerce commits
sion asking that the allowance charges
be not Cancelled until the litigation in
volving the case as applied to the Mis-
souri, river cities shall have been settled.
The eastern cities in the combine with
the Chicago grain men include Cincinnati
Toledo Buffalo. Mansfield, Louisville, In
dianapolis. Pittsburg and many others.
The regular allowance that has been
paid at Chicago for many years amounts
to one-fourth Of a cent a buShel, and 1t Is
said that II 1t were eliminated the saving
to one large eastern road alone would
amount to about 100000 year.

COURT GIVES WARNING.
Judge Advises Bondholders Of Chi
cago Traction to Get Busy.

CHICAGO, November 13.-Bondholders
Of the Consolidated Traction Company
were advised yesterday by Judge Gross
cup to get together and confer with the
court If DESTROYS of protecting their in
terests. The identity Of the bondholders
is unknown and recent developments in
the receivership proceedings have upset
the theory on which the receivers origi-
nally were appointed.
There is no money with which to pay
the interest on the bonds and according
to the report made to the court by Re-
ceivers David r. Forgan and John M.
Reach, there Is no possibility of bor-
rowing money for that purpose.
The receipts of the company are barely
sufficient to pay the operating expenses,
it is claimed, and under the city ordi-
nances improvements must be made In
the rolling stock and the physical prop
erty, which adds to the financial compli-
cations.
when the Consolidated Traction Com
pany went into receivership, Judge Gross
cup rectes, 1.-The court recognized that
there were three distinctive interests In
volved-the underlying bondholders. the
second mortgage, or consolidated bond
holders, and the Chicago Railways Com
pany, the probable purchaser.
LAS to the underlying bondholders. the
court supposed that the earnings OF the
company were amply sufficient to pay &C
cruing interest. and the personnel OF
the receiyership was made upon the as
sumption that there would be no default
on the interest of the underlying bonds.

Marking Confederate Graves.

4 rom the fnllauelpnla inquirer
Some time ago Congress appropriated
$500. 600 to provide markers for oonfed-
crates who are inferred in national ceme-
teries, most of them being those who died
as prisoners of war. Only one-fourth Of
the amount has been expended, because in
most instances 1t is impossible to iden-
tify individual graves, as most of the
victims were buried in trenches and no
records were kept that are of present
value in determining exact locations. The
head Of the commission charged with the
duty of locating the markers is Col.
Oates of Alabama, long a member of
Congress and later governor, and himself
a valiant Confederate soldier.
He now wants Congress to permit the
use of the unexpended balance in erect
ing large monuments to the Confederate
dead in the various cemeteries. on which
the names of those reposing in adjacent
graves may be given in bronze. me sug

means by which those who died in the
lost cause may have their memory COM
In indorsing this proposition
we do not by any means wish to say
that those who fought for the losing
cause were right. They were, We believe.

possible to close the breach which Is no

Forestry in New England.
From the Hartford Courant


Corporations and private citizens
throughout New England are beginning
to realize the opportunities which this
region offers for profitable forest plant
ing. This year about $500 acres have
been planted in the six New England
states by private citizens. In addition a
number of water companies have adopted
a forest policy.
One of the most important phases of
reforestation in New England is that of
planting abandoned farms and other
waste land which at present is bringing
no income. In Massachusetts, this waste
land amounts to 10 per cent of the total
area Of the state, while the latest reports
in Rhode Island show 22S abandoned
farms. 1t is this type of land which is
now being planted. Wealthy men see a
good investment and number of them
have planted tracts of at least fifty acres
each this year, with the intention Of in
creasing the size of the plantations an
nually. One owner in Massachusetts, who
started q white pine plantation Of sixty
three acres this year expects to plant
fifty acres annually for the next ten
years. while others intend to plant tracts
of various sizes ranging upward to 200
acres apiece next spring.

Railroad Nomenclature.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
1t might be supposed that railroads
which bear usually geographical names
would show by their titles what points
they connect. but there are many excep-
tons in this respect, and some OF them
are surprising. The st. Louis and San
Francisco railroad, for instance. might be
supposed to run from st. Louis to San
Francisco. Actually 1t runs 327 miles
west of St. Louis. The Minneapolis and
st. Louis railroad would appear to run
from Minneapolis to st. Louis. It actually
runs from Minneapolis to Angus. Iowa.
about halfway to st. Louis. The Omaha
and ST. Louis railroad does not run from
Omaha to ST. Louis, but from Omaha to
Pattonsburg. Mo. St. Louis is 267 miles
Kansas City railroad Cor Glover Leaf"
as it is more generally called runs from
Toledo to st. Louis. which is the western
terminus Of the road. Kansas City is
Western railroad does not run from
Toledo to Peoria, but from Indiana state
line to Warsaw, Ill.
The New York, Chicago and st. Louis
railroad Tor Nickel Plate, as 1t is univer-
sally called does not run from New York
to Chicago and st. Louis. 1t runs from
Buffalo to Chicago, and a passenger upon

and Erie railroad runs from Sunbury, Pa,
to Erie. The Pennsylvania. Poughkeepsie
and Boston railroad is 96 miles long, from
Slatington, Pa, to Campbell Hall, on the
Ontario and Western. The Fort Worth
and Denver City railroad is wholly in
Texas, does not touch Denver City and
does not run into Colorado.
These peculiarities in railroad nomen-
clature are supplemented by another. All
the coal-carrying roads running latitude

of their title the words and Western"

fetal Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 13.-Upon no
occasion since election day have the ad-
vancing tendencies and increased activity
in the stock market been more signally
displayed than was the case today. A
glance at the table of comparative price
changes will furnish the clearest idea of
the extent of the movement in prices and
set forth the volume Of the transactions
in the market at large and in particular
stocks. A large number of new high
records for the present movement were
established. and quotations furnished also
a number of new high records for all time.
The United States Steel shares were
particularly conspicuous. and there was
apparent a pronounced revival of interest
in Union and Southern Pacific. which
have been comparative laggards since the
disappointment with regard to the action
taken by the directors of those companies.
The local traction issues showed a re-
newal of the firm tendencies which made
their appearance yesterday. although for
more definite reasons than could be
ascertained then.
II would be almost idle to discuss in
detail the transactions and the price
movements in particular stocks, mas
much as it was plain that the whole mar
ket was altogether SWayeO Dy the CneeT-
full sentiments which have developed since
election day. and the course followed by
one stock or another reflected only the
inclination Of the individual purchaser.
The market opened very firm and de-
veloped increasing strength and activity
with the progress Of the business session.
Prof1t-taking sales were naturally again
conducted in great volume, but were more
than counterbalanced by the fresh thrush
of new buying orders.
American stocks were strong in the
London market. and purchases for for
eign account in excess OIL $1,000 shares
were conducted in the local dealings.
There was a virtual absence of any
real news of importance relating to the
market at large or particular stocks, and
had there been any favorable or other
wise 1t would probably have been discard
ed In view of the generally optimistic
state of speculative sentiment.
Transactions were largest in United
States Steel common, Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania, st. Paul
and Reading.

doubtedly larger requirements Of commits
sion houses. So far as could be observed
not the slightest interest was taken in the
outlook for tomorrow's bank statement.
although II will be interesting to note
the alteration In the loan item. The pre-
limnary estimates of the principal move

about $1.2JO,OOO. nearly all of which was
incurred In their transactions with the

Coffee and Sinkers.

1t is printed among the distinctions OF
the old Putnam House. now about to van
ish before the advancing skyscraper that
it made popular what afterward became
nationally known as coffee and sinkers.' -
This is speaking too much good of the
dead. No landlord and no hotel made the
popularity of the sinker with its coffee
accompaniment. Coffee and sinkers are
as old as New York and presumably en-
abled the Dutch to conquer wilderness
The Dutch succumbed to the English,
but the sinkers went forward to new
conquests.
On a diet of coffee and sinkers reporters
have grown into managing editors. law
yers have developed into supreme court
justices. budding politicians have BIOS
somed into congressman. Even the Presi-
dent of the United States knew them on
their native heath.
They who have become great have not
forgotten the days of their youth. So

Fat and Body Defects.
From What to Eat.

trOm w nat u
But there are other causes of obesity
Some defect in the organs of digestion
or assimilation may have a tendency to
misdirect the natural course Of the
energy in foods, and store it in the
body as fat. instead of permitting the
system to work II off in physical or
mental effort. Some systems in the
process of digestion and assimilation
may extract more of the energy nutrients
of foods than others and store them as
fat Other systems from defective or
gans seem unable to extract a sufficient
amount of the fuel nutrients Of foods
and hence suffer from leanness or emacia-
ton. One Or the other of these defects
in the physical constitution may be in
herited, or caused from certain forms Of
illness, or from a surgical operation or
from other change In the system or i'm
pairment of the organs.
Whatever the cause. however. all cases
of obesity result from the accumulation
Of more Of the fuel nutrients OF food
than Is used by the body. Sometimes
this excessive accumulation may be
caused by some impairment Of the sys-
TEN, but in the great majority of cases
II results from ignorance of or disre-
gard for the proper rules of living

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The common stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company sold today
at the meeting Of the stock exchange at
40, which marks the highest point reached
in the general advance in securities which
is in progress in the local market as well
as in the general market.
The broker who bought the stock dio
not exhaust the supply at that price, SO
that 1t was still to be had at 40 when the
was nearly point, as the buying began
at 80, although yesterday fifty shares
sold for 1914
The course of this security was not fol-
lowed in the case Of any other on the list,
with the possible exception of Gas stock,
which sold for 81, and the bid for which
at the close was maintained at that level
which is high one in recent days. as IL
has been going down instead Of following
the paths of the others and going up.
Mergenthaler also continues to fall away
from the higher levels which were reached
in the recent advance which 1t has en-
joyed, based, however, not so much on
general market conditions as Is the case
with the balance of the list, but on the
rumored improved prospect for the stock
holders. At one time it was thought the
stock was headed for 900, but it paused
short of that notch. and for the past day
made in that direction today was more
rapid than usual. the best bid for the
stock was 212& and the asking price was
213; while yesterday the bid was 2l4h
and the asking price 216.
Riggs Fire Insurance Companys stock
attracted some attention today, as there
were several lots sold, which is rather
unusual of late, as the liquidation Of the
company has advanced SO far that it is
expected by the LIST Of March next the
assets of the company will be turned over
to the purchaser, whose payment will be
equal to $685. per share.
Today the stock sold for rs.
In the sense that the bid for Mitchell
mining stock is higher than it has been.
and better even than it was the day before
yesterday. it may be said the market for
it is improving. Today " was bid for the
stock from the start, but there was no
stock for sale, although over thousand
shares were offered at an eighth of a
point advance. This difference. however,
was sufficient to prevent trading, or at
least there was no trading on the bid Of -
and the asking price Of ", which are the
same as the figures quoted yesterday.

A Mammoth Roadway.
From the University Missourian.

An immense roadway from Kansas City
to st. Louis has been proposed by a
"Missourian" through the columns OF one
of the Kansas City newspapers. In his
communication the writer proposed a
highway to be built along the Missouri
river banks wide enough for a wagon
road, an automobile road. an electric line
and a steam railway.
1t is proposed to build this highway
along with the improvement Of the Mis-
souri, river and IL successful to extend
it as far as St. Joseph. and even farther

would result in one of the greatest high
ways In the United States: 1t would dou-
BILE the freigh. facilities between the two
cities: would make a trip between them
a mere outing, and would be of immeas-

posed highway.
