that women are progressing

They claim that men are daily grow

gradually lowering their standards OF

But there are some students OF hui

These persons cast attention TO the
curious phenomenon taking place III
our midst on the subjects OF drinking
and smoking by both men and women.
Time was when cities were smaller

countryside joined in the merrymak

POSITION OF TRUST CERTIFICATES OF
 DOMINION
Bigelow Has Yet to File His Bond Before Going to the
 Higher Courts

BOSTON. December 14.-Notwith- standing the fact that executions in the old Dominion.A. s. Bigelow ease were issued on the 27th of last month, and that Mr. Bigelow will carry his ease to the United States Supreme court through the granting of writ of error by Chief Justice KnowltOn of the Massachusetts Supreme court, no bond has yet been filed by MT. Bige- low,
 We understand that Mir. BigelOw, if he chooses, can carry his cae to Wash ington without filing a bond. although. in this event the Old Dominion company likewise would immediately proceed to collect on the execution in Massachu- setts even though the case were pend ing before the Supreme court of the United States.
 In this connection there seems to be better appreciation of the strategic position occupied by the Old Dominion trust reeeipts-strategi because of the large profits aeeruing thereto in the event that the Supreme court at Wash ington affirms the Massachusetts deci. sion and the very small risk in the event that MT, Bigelow wins out.
 The possibilities of the trust receipts, which ahe evidence of the beneficial in terest which the former stockholders of the Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelling company had in certain assets and the litigation against Messrs. Big elOw and Lewisohn which was Set apart when the Old Dominion company of Maine, was formed, figure o6t about as follows:
 The judgment against Mir. Bigelow in round figures is $2,2OO,OOO. Six per cent interest will have to be added to the original judgment and interest may run for two or more years, or to the date of collection after the United States Supreme court hands down its verdict, This period is likely to cover at least two years; it may be longer
 Two years interest at 6 per cent on $2,200,000 is $264,00O, which added to tn original iudgmnt, brings the total sum for which Mir. Bigelow may be Ii. able up to $2,464,000.
 From this amount various expenses and counsel fees must be deducted be. fore final value can be worked out for the trust receipts.
 Lawyer Louis D. Brandeis will have substantial interest in whatever is re- covered; the trustees are also entitled to a certain percentage and there are, of course, miscellaneous expenses in connection with the long conduct of the case in the courts of the various states. The toltal of these expenses, however, should not be more than $350,000, which would bring the net amount applicable

Washington Thinks That Such Action May Be De-
 clared Necessary
MAY TAKE MEXICO
 IN ON THE DEAL
Huge Monopolies Controlled By Zelaya in Defiance
 of Constitution

WASHINGTON, D. C., December II. One of the projects for the solution of the Nicaraguan situation which has been strongly urged upon the state dc- partment is the establishment of pro tectorate, either singly by the United States or jointly with Mexico.
 This may be regarded as necessary in the event the insurgents fail to displace Zelaya, and may follow an insurgent triumph that would leave the country without responsible leaders.
 It is said the precedent for such ac- ton will be found in the case of Santo Domingo, and Cuba.
 Today s news from Managua, ndicat- ing the imminenee of rioting beyond the ability of the local government forces to suppress, might serve as basis for landing marines and their despatch to Managua, if necessary to maintain or der. It is not part of the plan to maintain a force in Nicaragua perma- nently, but only long enough to permit a fair and free general election and the establishment of a president pledged to observe constitutional obligations.
 The attitude of Mexico is set forth in document placed today in the hands of Secretary Knox by Governor Greet of Chihuahua. Creel, who recent ly arrived in Washingtonf had an in terview with Knox this afternoon.
 Greet presented statement from President Diaz containing his views.
 The state department announced that no statement would be made at present
 A report from Managua that the Nicaraguan congress, anticipating the early retirement of Zelaya, has attempt ed to authorize number of important concessions of Zelaya, calls attention to a number of vastly remunerative moDop- olies already enjoyed by Zelaya and his friends.
 This attempt of wholesale monopoliza. tion of the resources of the republic, and tOleration of monop0lies in any form is a direct, deliberate violation of the Nicaraguan constitution, which spe' officially ordains That "there shall be no .monopolies that pay large dividends. ''
 One of those is called the Aguardientc Syndicate, which handles rum made of sugar cane. This monopoly paid last year l5 per cent. Still another is the cattle syndicate, which includes the slaughter tax and cattle export duties which pays 2 per cent per month. Other monopolies include the following:
 The sole right of exportation of co, coanuts on the Atlantic coast; exporta, tion of turtles, sponges, pears, and mother of pearl on the Atlantic coast fisheries on the Pacific coast; a com. tany formed for the introduction of c,ude oil refining in Corinto; monopoly fer nail manufacturing; soap trust.
 It is said that Zelaya controls all these monopolies and the concessions erein mentioned, and receives the lion s share of thei rabnormal earnings

TAX ROL[. FINISHED
 AND DELIVERED
Marshal Anderson Will Be gin at Once the Collection
 of City Taxes

As the duplicate tax roll of this city has been completed by City Clerk James II. Welch, this volume will be tur,ad over to City Tax Collector R. M Anderson today and the collection of taxes commenced at once.
 The total amount of taxes to be col leeted will amount to $27 ,332.25. Of this amount, $2O,643.33 will be collect ed on real estate and improvements with $6,6sS.92 coming from personal property.
 In taking the final cheek on the total amount of the city's valuation, as sub mitted to the council on the figures of the city assessor, discrepancy of over $30.00O in the valuation of personal property was found. While this re duces the original figures to that extent it will make difference of but little more than $500 in the revenue of tho city for the coming year.
 As the tax rate this year is an ever cent on the dollar, the work of pre- pairing the tax books has been compar atiyely easy, as much multiplication work usually required was unneees sary. the taxes of each property own CT being just one per cent of the as sessed valuation of the property.
 The tax rate this year is slightly higher than that of last-year, by reason of a number of public improvements which are to be effected during the next few months.
