RIGID INQUIRY FOR
WALL STREET CRASH
Third Firm Goes to the Wall in
Collapse of Columbus and
Hooking Pool
Head of Suspended Firm of Rob-
erts, Hall & Criss Puts
Blame on Welchers

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Roberts, Hall
g. Criss of New York and Cincinnati
were forced to suspend as members of
the New York stock exchange today
following the two failures yesterday
brought about by the collapse of the
Columbus and Hooking coal and iron
pool.
Hugh f. Criss was the board member
of the firm and had charge of the
Hooking pool on the exchange. He
estimates the liabilities of the firm at
10000 900. but is quoted as saying that
he hopes to pay 100 cents on the dollar
unless governors of the exchange per-
nit welching on the part of the other
members with whom l had contracts
Affairs of all three firms involved
J. NJ F'iske & Co. and Lathrop, Haskins
& Co. which suspended yesterday, as
well as Roberts, Hall & Criss-are now
being investigated by the committee on
insolvencies of the exchange.
1t is not unlikely that the situation
may get beyond the jurisdiction of this
committee, necessitating the appoint
ment of a special committee with full
power to act, such as was done in the
Rock Island case.
In announcing the failure of Roberts,
Hall & Criss the president of the ex-
change said there were peculiar cir
cumstances, calling for rigid investi-
cation.
A petition to remove the stock of the
Columbus and Hooking coal and iron
company from the list of the stock ex-
change is said to be under considera-
ton.

Famous Dancer OrnitS SOIOme in Her

her place of entrance. There was grace
in her bodily pose and in the postures
which the dancer assumed to illustrate
her ideas of her Impressions of the
Rubinstein music, but in it's general
aspect there seemed no radical de-
partures from the classical dance which
Isadora Duncan has given here.
Miss Duncan has said publicly that
her rival is ungrateful and disinclined
to acknowledge the assistance she rem
dered Miss Allan before the latter be-
came known as a dancer Miss Allan
disavows any such assistance and de-
clares she has never known Isadora
Duncan. Both women left California
about Il years ago and both have made
world wide regulations as classic
dancers
Miss Duncan spitefully declares that
Maud Allan's attempted limitations of
her own Greek dances are mere vulgar
caricatures." They did not appear to be
so at today's performance although 1t
is said that the Salome dance. in which
Miss Allan appears with the upper part
OF her body quite bare and her neither
limbs clothed in an iridescent robe. is
rather suggestive, not to say sensual
This. it is believed. is her reason for
electing to omit the Salome dance in
this country.

CHICAGO. Jan. 20.-Paul o. stems

kee avenue state bank of Chicago, and
Henry w. Herring, formerly its cashier
who were convicted in connection with
the wrecking of the bank and the dis
appearance of s1.300,000 of its funds
were paroled today.
Stensland, whoswas captured after a
sensational chase extending across the
Atlantic ocean, has served three years

The looting of the Milwaukee ave-

of $4,000 depositors and the disappear
ance of $1,000 900 of deposits.
The suicide of the banks paying
teller and of three ruined depositors
the death of another from worry and
four victims adjudged insane from the

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Maud Allan,
whose vision of Salome" dance in Lon
don attracted the attention of King Ed
ward and caused sensation through
out Europe some two years ago, made
her first American appearance at Car
negie hall this afternoon. Miss Allan
elected to omit Salome and TO make her
debut in the classic branch OF the art
rather than in the one which first
brought her success, and her efforts
won general approval
It was a curiously expectant gather
ing which listened to the overture to
Nicolais Merry Wives of Windsor,
played by the Russian symphony or
chestra- When the Rubinstein melody
was commenced the dark curtain on the
stage parted at the back and a white
robed figure moved slowly into view.
Miss Allan was clad in a long white
robe Of filmy substance, which hung
Imply about her TO point just above
her bare ankles and feet, and from her
head at the back a streamer floated
down almost to her knees. The dancer
moved deliberately toward the edge of
the dimly lighted stage with sort of
half waltz step, waving her bare arms
before her. and passed in circle with
scarcely any variation of the step TO

SUNDAY PAPERS ON WANE

The Memphis News Scimitar has
quit the field of Sunday journalism.
Hereafter the owners of this pro-
gressive and wide-awake sheet will
publish no Sunday edition.
But the entire force OF the paper
from the top floor to the basement
will be concentrated in an effort to
make The News Scimitar for six days
in the week the cleanest, the strong
est and the best newspaper in the
whole Mississippi region.
The proprietors of the paper have
not been Influenced primarily. at
least. by either religious or moral
considerations in adopting this course
of action.
II has been found that the demand
for the Sunday newspaper is grow
ing less and less.
For years past the News Sclmitar
has published one of the best Sun.
day editions in the country, but
whereas the advertising patronage
for the daily issue has increased %
per cent since 1906, it has increased
only IA per cent for the Sunday is
sue during the same period. The re
suit cannot be attributed to bad man
agement No newspaper in the coun'
try pays better dividends on the cap
ital invested. II is prosperous and
independent.
The explanation is to be found in
the fact that the tide of public senti-
ment which demands the publication
of Sunday newspapers has COM
menced to ebb.
Indications are neither few nor
far between to the effect that the fut-
ure of Sunday newspapers Is duos-
toned.
One thing is certain: II the great
city of London. within whose limits
center the vast financial and mercan-
tile interests of the globe, can do
without them, there is no urgent or
imperative necessity for them any
where else.
As one of the fundamental reasons
for abandoning the Sunday newspa-
per our contemporary states that a
pre-eminent success can not be made
of anything which is not permanent
And II does not regard the Sunday
newspaper as permanent.
Moreover. ii is claimed that the
Sunday newspaper represents wasted
energy. to eliminate which is the aim
of modern economics.
Since the business of the world
closes at - O'Clock on Saturday. II
is insisted that every paper with
modern equipment has ample oppor-
tunity to finish the final details OF
the news from twelve to fifteen
hours before the Sunday morning
paper appears.
Consequently. 1t is claimed, the
news columns OF the Sunday morn
ing paper consist In the main OF re-
petitions.
In other words. It is sheer waste
for the literary and special features
could just as well be published on
some week day.
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1910-07-06

The experience OF the Memphis
News Scimitar with the Sunday morn
ing edition Is said to be the exper-
fence of afternoon papers generally.
the exceptions to the rule being less
perhaps than half a dozen. Further
more, II is claimed that the same ex-
perience is shared in less degree by
morning papers also. The tendency
to leave business behind when Sun
day comes is becoming steadily
more pronounced.
Thousands of men who possess no
religious computations whatever re-
frain from going TO their offices on
sunday or from looking into their
mails for the simple reason that they
wish to ENJOY one day of absolute
freedom from business vexations and
responsibilities.
By this same sign the future Of
he Sunday morning newspaper is i'm
periled. The endless array of adver-
'tising matter suggests to the mind
. the very thing which we wish TO dis
miss for the time being. and for the
greater part what we find in the
news columns IS only the rehash OF
what We have already read
So positively nothing so connects
the mind with the business of the
week as the Sunday newspaper. Yet
It adds substantially little either TO
our store of information or to our
fund Of entertainment.
Hence sooner or later Il must go.
II the retirement of the Sunday
newspaper is not demanded upon a
warrant of the decalogue which says:
six days shalt thou labor"-if
neither religion nor morality can Of
fer any convincing argument for the
dscontinuance OF this form of Sab
bath desecratio. then sociology pure
and simple will pluck the banner OF
this much needed reform.
The worlds rest day must be re-
speCted.
Back OF the law OF Sinai. which
was written upon tables Of stone. is
the law of nature. which was writ
ten upon tables of flesh. It has not
been abrogated.
One day IN seven Is well earned
by the faithful army of men who
serve in the ranks of newspaperdOm
They cannot continue day after day
the incessant grind. II not only de-
stroys enthusiasm for work. but II
robs thought of it, edge and fancy
