OPPORTUNITY
FOR LADIES
Smart Shoppers Should Take
Advantage of This
Offering

Many people, no doubt, wonder why
the beautiful suits offered by the EN-
pire Sample Suit House, 444 South
Broadway, can be sold so cheaply, but
it is very easy to explain why $40
suit can be sold for about half of this
price, and others just as sharply re-
duced The great manufacturers OF
ladies' fine suits in New Yorv, Phila-
delphia and other eastern cities find
that the great number of travelling
salesmen's samples come back to them
too late to sell the regular trade. HaV-
ing but one suit and size of each model
and pattern, they are punched to-
gether and sold for what they viii
bring The Empire Sample Suit House
buys all the sample suits from five OF
the largest makers in the east and
offers the choicest of these at about
one-half regular prices. These sample
suits are much better made and fin
ished than regular goods. as they are
used by statesmen to sell from. 1t VIII

suit cheap to call tomorrow morning
and make a selection. Come in and
look at the garments anyway. Room

ROOSEVELT, FOND OF
Ills EDITORIAL WORK
WOULD RATHER HUNT IDEAS
THAN WILD GAME
Former President Said Almost to Be-
grudge Time for Outing in
Africa-First Day
Strenuous

NEW YORK. March 20.-Former
President Roosevelt as an editor, has
become so much attached to his work
it is said he begrudges the time neces-
sary for his hunt in Africa.
Mr. Roosevelt has received word that
his camping paraphernalia, with the
exception of several features which he
will carry with him, already has ar
rived at Mombassa.
AS the day for his departure APP
proaches he is kept exceedingly busy
preparing the last of a series of articles
to be printed after his departure in the
magazine of which he is to be one of
the editors.
Mr.. Roosevelt's first days record as
an editor eXempliies his capacity for
strenuous work. Here is the record:
Arrived from oyster Bay at 8 O'Clock;
stood up in crowded crOsstoWn car;
took formal possession of his suite in
the editorial office of the magazine; had
luncheon at the National Arts club
with staff of the outlook; shook hands
with 100 employees of a building at
Fourth avenue and Twenty-second
street: received 100 callers; kept two
stenographers busy with dictation
rushed around in a taxicab for an hour
doing errands; departed for oyster Bay
at $3.50 o'clock.
During the day the eX-presdent was
visited by a score or more of newspaper
men, but all he had to say to them was.
I'm having a bully time"

The Blanchard gallery is hung with
thirty-four oils by Elmer Wachtel, a
painter of established reputation, and
one whose work has claimed the adj
miration of many lovers of art, and
who until recently held exhibitions of
his paintings in his private gallery
only, there being such demand and
ready sale for his pictures. Latterly
the general public has had the priv
lege of viewing and the opportunity OF
buying if so DESTROYS. The present
showing consists of landscapes from
California and Arizona, a number of
village and street scenes in an Indian
settlement in the latter state, and sew
eral SeaScapeS.
AS a technician this artist is strong
and forceful; in fact in some instances
this feature is so vigorous as to make
us forget, in beholding it, the color
harmony and vibration in his skies,
almost invariably in the same handling,
one much used among impressionists i'll
the east, but confined, with Mr.. Wach-
tel, to his skies alone, and which
when at proper distance for viewing
the remainder of the picture, which is
in a different technique, gives an eff
feet of direction so strongly at times
as to seem an Interpretation of rain,
albeit from a clear sky, and one that
is marvelously luminous.
The most dominant feature in Mr.
Wachters landscapes is the striking
contrast between sky and land, the
one being effulgent in prismatic color
ings, usually cloudless and luminous in
a marked degree, while the other is
dark and glowing TO a most depress-
ing extent There is no diffusion of
sunlight over the landscape, no filter
ing of it through the tree-tops, no
playing across the pathway of a ray
of sunshine.
This painters Interpretation of nature
leads us through an eternal valley OF
dark and foreboding shadows, into
which no hopeful inner light has pene-
trated. The real glory of CALIFORNIA;
hills is lost, and they, with all their
many forms of growth, are sorrowful
or full of dread and ominous meaning.
For courage sufficient to wander
through these valleys and on these
hills, unless it be their very crests, we
must look ever skyward. The poetry
of purple shadows plays no part, the
gladstone song of nature is silenced,
and we can imagine no bird nor butter

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
MARKETS BRAVE START
 CULTIVATED IN UPSET
Speculation Confused on Adjusting It.
 self to New Considerations.


 New York, Sept. 21.-After making a brave start today the stock specula- tion experienced some confusion in adjusting itself to some new consid- erations. The miscarriage of the movement which has centered in Read ing will be given responsibility gen. orally for the upset in the market, heavy unloading of that stock follow ing the declaration of only the regular quarterly dividend of two per cent. on the Central Railroad of New Jersey stock. Up to a very short time before the directors of the company had as- sembled, the financial district was re- galed with positive assertions that that stock was to be placed on a twelve per cent. dividend basis. The influen- tial place held in the speculation by Reading and the excessive commit ments in the stock made it inevitable that slump in it would affect the whole market. In the Philadelphia stock market Lehigh Valley stock broke nearly 13 points on the Jersey Central dividend action. The disap- pointment in this matter brought home keenly to the speculative mind the ex- tent to which it had been relying on rumors as vague and ill-authenticated as was this one. Various other incl dents had been sowing the seeds of
 
 given out for publication yesterday by the Vulcan Detinning company declar- ed that many of the rumors put into circulation concerning this company are grossly exaggerated and likely to mislead the public" The stock broke six points in the early stock market today. As the same kind of rumors were being circulated to the accom- paniment of rapid advances in a host 0f Il1innr CtnpkS fhara Of alarm sounded by these object lessons. Since the money market resources have begun to be constricted the stock market has given evidence of a steady movement to sell stocks under cover and to take advantage of all strong sustaining influences. The lesson was clearly implied that the leaders of the speculative movement were reducing their commitments and seeking to dis tribute their holdings at the high prices and realize their profits. Probably they are more or less constrained to this course by the pressure of the money situation and by the admonitions of the banks which have supplied the credits. The orderly and skilful man. ner in which the realizing movement IS conducted indicates it's exemption from any very urgent pressure. Even today the market gave further evidence of the continued control exercised by the forces back of the market in the sharp rebound in prices which followed the break United States Steel ex- tended it's record price to S5. Atten- tion was paid, also, to a report, im- possible of confirmation, of the in- tended dividing up of control of the Wabash system amongst a number Of other railroad companies. The storm reports from the south bore heavily on stocks of the railroads in the region affected The substantial recovery from the break left final prices not much changed from last night. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $5,- 312,000. United States bonds were un- changed on call

McGrath Wins In Straight Falls
Clayton Not in Class with Giant Athletics Lose a Game They reeded-Detrot Wins Then is Shutout Pirates Take Doubleheader.

Another wrestler who had an idea he could lift the scalp of Jack McGrath, the Irish Giant, and tried to do it Tuesday night in T. A. B. hall, went the way of the dozen or more who have preceded him. This was Captain Chas. Clayton, the strong man and weight litter, but he was hardly a breakfast for the Giant, who stripped bigger and stronger than ever before. It was evident when the men faced each oth- CT, with an advantage of 20 to 30 pounds in Jacks favor, that Clayton was not in his class, which was a dis appointment to the Giant as he sup posed he had arranged a go with a husky opponent who could give the crowd a rugged workout to watch.
 There were about 200 enthusiastic shouters for the Giant in the hall when the referee, Joe Houston of Pawtucket, introduced the wrestler, Kid Wilson being timekeeper. McGrath lowered above Clayton, who showed a consid- erable bald spot at the apex and traces of gray in his hair, while his build was slim and wiry rather than rugged and heavy. The match was best two pinfalls to count and strangle hold barred. Clayton was aggressive at the start and worked hard to put Jack in danger, but the Giant was never seriously threatened, his great strength and weight enabling him to break out of the strong mans grip any time. At the end of IA minutes and 30 sec onds McGrath caught Clayton in head scissors and finished the job and the first fall with a wrist hold.
 One of Claytons ribs was consid- erably mussed up in the first scrim- mage and he could offer no long re- sistance when they grappled again, McGrath getting him this time with a farther arm hold in 3 minutes and 30 seconds, thus winning the match, the gate receipts and side bet
 The main bout was preceded by 135 pound preliminary between two young Greeks, George Dolchen and Strathey Ragopoulos, and was won by Dolchen after Ragopoulous had taken the first fall in 1-2 minutes. Dolch- en. who b krd -he heavier, took the next two in 5 minutes and minutes. The boys / provided an interesting match.
 A ringside challenge for the winner of the main bout was received from Bill Harris of Wisconsin. who sent telegram from New York.

CAN KICK BALL AFTER A PASS. New Rule on Forward Play Adopted.

One of the most interesting points brought up at the meeting of the foot ball rules committee in New York last week dealt with a forward pass which had been fumbled by the man desig- mated to receive the ball.
 Several of the officials claimed that if the ball was fumbled and rolled on the ground the player who had been designated to get the ball should be barred from kicking it along the ground. Others thought the player should be given a chance to kick it, if he cared to take the risk, and finally it was put up to Walter Camp for dis position.
 The old Yale leader gave the matter considerable thought and finally sug- gested that the player be given per- mission to kick the ball. This sugges- tion was followed by further argu- ments which brought into light the rul- ing prohibiting the kicker from med ding with the ball after the kick un- til the same had been touched by an opponent As others on the kicker s own side could not touch the ball be- cause it had started down the field on a forward pass, and only the fumblipg player could recover it before kicking. the committee had to adopt ruling to cover the case, which was substan- tially as follows
 When the ball on forward pass has been legally. touched by player on the side making the pass that play CT should he tumble or huff the pass. can kick the ball only once. The play CT thus kicking the ball is the only member of the team who can regain the ball unless 1t is touched by a player of the opposing team"
 The committee also announced tha. penalties for side line eoac>ing may be declined this year by the offending side.
