TNEthis-- story the gifted author conducts the
reader into the inner circle of New York
society showing him the fast set in their cid
dy' rounds of pleasure or their fierce combats
for business supremacy. AS he reads he will
diecover that happiness dwells in the human
breast as much in the gloomy grandure of
Fifth avenue mansion as in the cottage of
the poor. So he finds his supreme interest
and sympathy fixed upon the unhappy
couple---old New Workers both of them---
whose friends declare it would be the widest
folly for them to marry because of heredi-
tary tendencies on both sides.

They OBJECT
TO Low FARES
RAILROAD MANAGERS SAY TOO
MUCH POLITICS IS RUNNING
THEIR BUSINESS.-FARE RE-
DUCTION MEANS FINANCIAL
RUIN.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Jan. 81
Presidents and other officials of the
railroads operating in Tennessee to-
day held a conference with Governor
ing passenger fares in the state. 1t
is hoped that the meeting may re-
suit in a satisfactory solution of the
matter, without the necessity of a
special session of the legislature. 1t
is likely, however, that the roads
will choose to fight the order of the
railroad commission, ordering a re-
duction of fares from 3 cents to
21s cents mile.
In a speech made last fall Cover
nor Patterson declared himself as
favoring such a reduction II the
agitation and legislation in other
southern states should be success
full, since it would only be fair to
the people of Tennessee to be ac-
corded the same fares. He declars
IudL uS 10 uCLlL6 III IlO oplI IL VI III
antagonism to the roads, and that
he desires to be fair to them as we'll
as to the people of the state.
Railroad officials assert that the
passenger fare reduction is politi-
cal movement, and that the politici-
ans are attempting to curry favor
with the voters at the expense of
the railroads. It is declared that
the reduction would have an in
furious effect upon the development
of Tennessee and the south, since 1t
would discourage the building OF
new roads to undeveloped communi-
ties.
Among the roads affected are the
Louisville & Nashville, Illinois
Central Mobile & Ohio, Southern,
Central of Georgia and the Queen
& Crescent.

HOUR LAW
HrADS OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
MEET TO STUDY MANAGE
MENT AND CONTROL-wILL
VIEW EFFECTS OF La FOL-
LETTE LAW.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. II.
A committee of the operating
heads Of some OF the leading rail-
roads of the country hadga conferen-
% with the president today, when
important matters relative to the
management and control were toch-
ed upon.
One of the most important of
these was the provisions of the La
Toilette law, which provides for a
nine-hour day for railroad telegraph
operators and which become sef-
fective March 1. The members of
the committee attempted to con-
vince the president that the clause
Is impracticable. There is little
disposition among the railroad men
to oppose the hours prescribed by
the law for train men, but they
cannot see their way clear to ad-
justing conditions for the universal
observance of the nine-hour law for
telegraph operators.
The question of legalizing pool
ing agreements was discussed In
formally. In this matter the persi-
dent has indicated his position as
favoring such an agreement under
proper supervision by the interstate
commerce commission.

WORLD WIDE
ExTRAvACANCE
ECONOMISTS SAY THAT ENG
LAND, GERMANY AND JAPAN
ARE RAPIDLY APPROACHING
ERAS OF DEPRESSION

LONDON, Jan. 27.-According to
economists, Great Britain, Germany
and Japan are likely to soon feel the
effects of a public and private ex-
travagance which are likely to be
manifested in these nations by pc
RODS of business depression of far
more serious character than that
from which the United States is now
emerging.
Japan has been the first to recog-
nize the plain exigencies of the sit
uation and has begun to retrench
as the only method to revive her dis
appearing credit. Great Britain, on
the other hand, is going ahead with
Legislative plans that are certain to
increase her burden of debt, without
providing any adequate means of
relieving the situation.
| Chancellor of the Exchequer AS
quith announced the other day that
he would introduce an old-age PEN
sion scheme at the coming session of
parliament, adding that it would re-
quire a little money and limiting
that the necessary funds might be
raised partly by local taxes and
partly by national taxation.
The labor party sees signs of an
attempt to evade the governments
full pledges in matter that calls
for universal pensions.
So it has passed resolutions de-
handing that the governments
schemes shall be nondescriminatory
and shall be applicable to all who
have reached the age of IS years.
The economist points out that
what Sydney Smith said 80 years
ago is true today:
"The world never saw so extrava
CANT a government as the govern
ment of England. Not only Il
economy not practiced, but 1t is de
spised. Such scene of extrava
gance and corruption must paralyz'
industry and mar the fortunes Of thu
most spirited people that ever ex
isted."
Germany is confronted with tn
difficulty of obtaining money to car
ry out the program of naval expan
sion planned by Kaiser Wilhelm
Germany must reduce her naval pre-
:. gram or pay a higher rate of inter
:. est. The latter alternative will onl
: be postponing the day of reckoning
