invading an entirely new and i'm proper field. The exchanges them selves, however, can place a limit up- on margins and that is recommended by the commission.
 Taking it all through, the recom- mendations of the report are directed rather at the stock exchanges than at the law making power of New York
 That the exchanges will take notice of them is quite likely for their own good. for if they should permit the abuses complained of to continue they would invite legislative action which would necessarily interfere with the legitimate operations of the exchanges, the thing which the commission be- lieves should be avoided

We notice with amazement that it has been decided by the senate to put radium on the free list. And yet Mir. Aldrich and his friends pre- tend that they are preserving the principle of protection. This is a nice way to uphold American indus tries and protect American labor against the cheap radium diggers of the old world

THE ABUSES OF SPECULATION
 Those who expected that the Hughes commission on speculation in securities and commodities would rec ommend stern oppressive legislation on the subject will be disappointed Those spectators who feared or pre- tended to fear that the recommends tions would be revolutionary or even disturbing will be agreeably disap- pointed
 The report finds in a general way three things. One is that many of the abuses complained of are so tangled with legitimate practices that they cannot be separated by legisla- ton; that there is more of good than bad in stock exchange operations and that the exchanges themselves are more powerful to effect reforms than laws would be for the reason that they are invested with plenary powers to enact rules and regulations. Even the practice of short selling" which has been generally condemned as open gambling. the report finds to be not without its beneficial uses in that it tends to prevent a manipula- ton, by lowering prices from an ab- normally high level.
 Corners, the commission believes, may be prevented by q rule or order of the exchange fixing maximum fig ures at which settlements may be ef- fected. Such an arrangement would prevent squeezing" and would de- prive the manipulators of an incentive to gain control of stocks for purely speculative purposes.
 An interesting suggestion is found in the belief of the commission that the frequently proposed limitation of margins is impracticable. It is point ed out that the margin is only a measure of credit and that when the law undertakes to prescribe the amount of credit one may enjoy, it is

A just complaint reaches this office of the extreme summariness of the proceedings against untagged dogs. The killing of dogs because there is no one to buy tags for them is a perhaps necessary brutality, but it should be robbed of as much brutality as possible. Dogs and their owners who may be only negligent, should be given a chance, a day or two any how. Beside, under the new regula- tion, if a dogs tag is lost, he is killed before it is discovered that his right to live had been bought and paid for. Give every dog at least his day. The city would make few more dollars out of such an arrangement.

That Prisoner Has a Right
to Sanity Investigation.

NYACE, n. J., Jan. 16.-Harry X.

cured. no date was set by Justice

Justice IOmpkius held that the only
questions involved In ThaWs petition
were the validity of the commitments
ana the present mental condition of the
prisoner. The first question the court
held, had been already decided bv JUS
tees Mills and MOrschauser. and JUS
tice TOmpkins would not pass upon H.
As TO the question of Thaw's present
mental condition, Justice Tompkins de-
cided the prisoner entitled TO have in

TOmpkins refused trial by jury on Ire
ground that Justice Mills had already
decided adversely on this point
The transfer OF the case back 70 New

JerOmes familiarity with the case and
for the additional reason that the cost
OF the trial, which viii be heavy,

WAGNER'S ARREST j.
SURPRISES FRIENDS
Former Washington Bust
ness Held in Baltimore
On Serious Charge.

Friends in this city of Howard G.
Wagner, a former Washington business
man, were surprised today TO learn of
his arrest in Baltimore on charge of
obtaining money under false pretense
He was indicted several days ago on
the charge Of obtaining 1875 from Mrs
Meta c. Peterson, OF 1887 Rhode Island
avenue northwest, by alleged fraudu-
lent means. Wagner will probably be
brought 90 Washington this afternoon
The arrest OF Wagner came as the
climax OF a series of unfortunate bust
ness ventures, il being alleged that the
money which Mrs. Peterson gave him
fcr investment he appropriated 10 his
own use TO meet debts incurred while he
was In business in this city.
over a year ago Wagner's wife, Mrs
Daisy NJ. Wagner. committed suicide
while walking near the Geological Park
Following the finding OF his vyife's

METHODS OF F. MARION CRAWFORD
ARE ILLUSTRATED BY STORIES OF
THE DIVA'S RUBY"

A friend of F. Marion Crawford tells
a story that throws some light on the
working methods Of this veteran
novelist.
His latest book, The Diva's Ruby"
opens with a description OF an almost
inaccessible ruby mine somewhere in
Central Asia, the secret OF which is
known only to one family. a European
adventurer who was exploring the coun-
try learns the secret from a girl who
has fallen in love with him, and under
her guidance he Tobs the mine, barely
escaping with his life. It IL one Of the
most exciting ep!sOdes Mr. Crawford
has ever put on paper, and il is not sur
prising to learn that it Is a souvenir
OF one Of Mr.. Crawford's visits TO the
orient, in which he stumbled on a
place very like the description in the
novel
What is more interesting, however, is
that his episode was writer long before
the book Of which It now forms a part
had been planned. Mr.. Crawford wrote
il out simply as a capital episode, and
then laid il away because h had no irr-
mediate use for IT,
When planning THE Diva's Ruby"
the last OF the three stories about the
opera singer Margaret Dome, he sud
denly remember this whole episode of
the ruby mine and was struck with the
effective use he could make OF IL in con
neCtiOn with the great love affair OF the
Drima donna. The ruby plays so i'm
pOrtant a part In the story, and the
opening chapters form so effeCtiveA and
natural an introduction, that 1t is hard
to believe they were actually written In
the first instance without a thought Of
Margaret Dome.

A Story Of Two People.

From the press Of the Frederick A.
Stokes Company comes a very unusual
story, called Dreaming River" It has
only two characters, with the execution
Of good, queer old doctor who comes
into one chapter y man and a Rirl on
the Minnesota prairie. that is aILand
nobody else lives within twenty miles
OF these two characters one is uncOn-
scious during One-third Of the story. and
out OF this material the author has
mace book full Of events, a book
whose interest is by no means confined
TO psychological situations, one in which
something unexpected is continually
happening. Another original feature is
the fact that the hero is a poet whose
verse is not imaginary. but is set down
in the pages Of the book. It is very
good verse, distinctly worth reading.
ana 1t IS woven very cleYerly into the
nber Of the novel.
Barr Moses, the author. has never be-
fore published a novel JIe has written
shorter fiction for many years. At one
time ne studied writing under Robert
Herrlck, at the University Of Chicago.

ICELAND as Kennedy s. II.

Although "The WinteTfeast' Charles

on why The Winterfeast' interests
American readers lies in the fact hat
8 voyage TO Vineland is the pivot OF
the story, in a period when America,
then called Vineland. first became
known to European history
Mr.. Kennedy says that his story Is
entirely imaginary. although Influenced
by the spirit Of the sagas Of the age.
b. the simple plan OF presenting three
genera lions, Mr.. Kennedy has driven
home an interesting point in the Teligi-
