FINANCIAL
ERIE

In Market Letter 22, published July
10, attention was called to Erie and as
high price as rs was predicted for it
eventually. In Market Letter q, pub
lished August %, was stated: 1.-THE
showing which Erie will make during
the next few months will surprise
even it's English stockholders. The
advance in the price Of common stock
will also be surprise to them"
The recent strength and activity Of
Erie is only the beginning Of the move.
The stock is recognized today as a
Hartman issue and under the same
speculative influences which control
the price movements in Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific, the stock
should be one Of the most attractive
for trading on the New York list.
Erie has the advantage of being low
enough in price to admit of its being
carried on relatively small margins
with safety and for this reason alone,
it should be inviting to the small
trader.
Before the present move is over, the
stock ought to sell at least as high as
$50 per share, and if the bull market
which we expect, develops during the
winter, the price predicted six weeks
ago would not look high for it.
Buy on every recession.

JACK BLACKBURN FINDS
CAPONl EASY MARK.

Philadelphia, Sept. 15-Tony Ca
poni, the Chicago middleweight, was a
punching bag for Jack Blackburn in
three of the six rounds at the West
End A c. Monday night. After being
jabbed in the mouth and nose until the
latter organ had assumed twice its nat
ural size Caponi thought it best to
cover up. BY this method he protected
his jaw and face in the last three
rounds ana probably averted Il knock
out
The Chicago boxer could not land a
punch on a lead. but pounded Black
burn about the kidneys in the clnches
For this he got a straight jab in the
mouth, which was followed by right
on the point of the chin which straight
ened him up. The fifth was tame, Ca
poni not caring to take chances, while
Blackburn was carefully keeping out
of the way of his opponents right hand
swings. Blackburn took the initiative
in the last round and Caponi was con-
tent to cover up.

WOMEN'S CLUBS SPEAKER
DENOUNCES BEST SELLERS
Mrs. Wagner Pleads That The Modern
Novel Be Kept From Homes.

Utica, N. Y, Nov. 12.--Mrs. Wagner
of Albany made vigorous attack upon
the degeneraey of the average modern
novel in a brief paper presented by her
at the afternoon session of the New
York state federation Of women's clubs
in the auditorium of the Men Century
club today.
"The usual best seller of the eoun
try is nothing more than plea for
looseness in the home life Of the ma
tion,' said Mrs. Wagner. Eve owe it
to ourselves and our children to keep
such books from our homes They are
pruient, vicious, and dangerous. Honest
criticism will not eurtail the circulation
of such books, and so we have nothing
left except the power of public opinion.
If We would carry out the belief of
President Roosevelt that the hope of
the nation lies in the mothers of the
country, we should use our best en-
deRvor to prevent books that are i'm
moral in tone from circulating in our
homes and our clubs"

Philadelphia, Nov. 12.-Only one
hour to reach Philadelphia from New
York With the admission by Pennsyl.
vania railroad officers here that the
electrfcation OF the road between New
York and Philadelphia had been decided
upon and definite plans made, the cut
ting in half OF the fastest running time
now made between the two cities be-
came a certainty.
While much OF the necessary equip.
inent for the new electric system has
been ordered, and while the work will
60 ahead as rapidly as physically pos
sihe il is expected that tive years
must elapse before work on the elsc-
IRRIGATION Of the New York .Philadel-

20 months viii be required 10 complete

Harrison, n. j., to Jamaica, l.. !. The
tlcctrifcstion west of Harrison win
then be begun.
Contracts for 100 electric locomotives
and power plants capable OF generating
100000 horsepower already have been
let to the Westinghouse Electric com
pany. The locomotives will be capable
OF making 100 miles an hour. The mi
tiAl electrifcatioR contract was for
So 600 900.
II was said in the Broad street Off
ccs Of the company that only short
time would be required 10 eleetrify the
Philadelphia division OF the road after

il was completed steps would be taken
TO use electric motive power between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, Work will
be begun simultaneously at New York
and Philadelphia as soon as the electri-
fcation Of the New York terminal is
completed
The very high rate of speed neces-
sary to clip an hour from the present
running time between New York and
Philadelphia was expected to generate
enormous rail pressure. The tests,
however, proved that the proposed one
hour schedule could be maintained with
the locomotives planned without the

Mitchell, Duncan and Keefe VIII Not Go
TO Presidents Dinner-Cannot Divine
His Purpose in Calling Them from
Denver, They Say.

Denver, Nov. 12.-John Mitchell,
James Duncan and Daniel j. Keefe
have decided not to accept President
Roosevelt's invitation to dine at the
White House. Samuel Gompers, to
whom no invitation was sent, declared
that the snub of the president was a
tribute to his work for labor. Other
officers of the American Federation of
Labor in session here have declared the
invitation is part of plan to divide the
forces of organized labor so they would
be weak in future contests.
Mitchell, Duncan and Keefe said
they expected to be in Denver at the
session OF the federation while the
presidents dinner was in progress. They
say they cannot divine the presidents
purpose in calling them away from
Denver in the middle of the annual
convention. They think ii would nave
tendency to disrupt the forces Of the
organization and cannot see their way
clear to accept.
They do not understand the leaving
out of Samuel Gompers by the presi.
dent. The entire membership of the
convention is wrought up over the mat
ter, although nothing is said in the con
vention openly.

BrattlebOrO Schools Closed
Yesterday
THE TOWN FACESEPIDEMIC
Schools Will Not Reopen Until Danger
Passes-cases Between 20 and 20
First Diagnosed as Chicken
Pox.

Brattleboro, Nov. ia consultation
was held in Brattleboro yesterday morn.
ing between DR.. C. S. Caverly Of Rutland,
president Of the state board of health,
Dr. Henry D. Holton Of Brattleboro,
secretary Of the state board, and DR..
Henry Tucker Of the local health board
over the so-called cases Of chicken pox.
Later il was reported that Brattleboro
is facing an epidemic Of smallpox.
As a precautionary measure toward
lessenirg the danger Of further spread
Of the disease, all of the public schools
were closed at 10 o'clock, and they will
not reopen until all danger from intec'
ton has passed. Every pupil who has
been in attendance in the Brattleboro
public schools within the past two weeks
will be vaccinated.
Within the past two weeks local ply
sieians have been reporting numerous
cases Of chicken pox. The local health
officers and Or. Holton of the state board
made thorough examination Tuesday
of o number Of the so-called chicken
pox cases. These they at once pro-
nounced as cases OF smallpox, and a
strict quarantine was ordered TO be
placed on all houses where chicken pox
had been reported, until more thor
ough examination of the patients could
be made.
In response 10 call sent TO Rutland
DR.. Cayerly yesterday morning visited
Bratlsboro and, in company with Dr..
Holton examined seven patients, and in
every case declared them suffering from
smallpox. Although neither Of these
physicians nor the local health officer
would make any statements as to the
number OF cases now known, DR.. Holton
placed the number at between 20 and
30, and stated that several more chill.
dren who had been at school, and who
had complained Of illness within the
past two or three days, would have their
cases looked after.
The disease is not confined to any
one quarter 10 the town, but has spread
in all sections, and If many new cases
are reported the state officers will take
desperate measures to check it. II is
the first time in the history Of Brattle-
boro that the town has faced crisis OF
this nature, and every precaution will
be taken to prevent its spread.
The cause Is not known, and both
children and adults have been taken i'll
within the past week.
The schools will be closed until all
further danger is over, and If the serious
aspect continues all public gatherings
and parties viii be forbidden,
The health officers viii make careful
canvass and new developments may be
expected in the day. DR.. Cayerly re.
turned to Rutland at IL o'clock, but it
Is probable that be will make his head
quarters in Brattleboro until the danger
is over. A strict quarantine win be
placed on the town should necessity de.
mand such action.

nle commissioner OF agriculture in place
of the five headed board as now. The
bill had been introduced by Mr.. Hitch
cock Of Pittsford, and on the question
Of It's passage yesterday afternoon a

Mr.. Cook of Dandy moved to amend
the bill by making the salary OF the

which amendment was lost. Mr. Davis
Of Springfield moved to amend by max
ing the salary $1,000, and Mr., Nnsley
Of Rutland city moved TO make the sal
AIRY $1,000. Both proposals were voted
down. Mr.. Batehelder of Townshend

didn't want to pay the commissioner
anything, and he moved 10 dismiss the
bin and keep the old system as it ex-
osts. On this motion Mr.. Hitchcock of
Pittsford demanded the yeas and nays
The whole number OF votes cast was
