CECILIAN ASSEMBLY
 AT ST. MARY'S HALL

St Marys hall was the scene last evening Of the initial Cecilian Assem- bly,, which will likely be followed al an early date next season by a similar event. The hall, one of the most ar tistic in the city, was prettily decorat- ed with daisies and palms. the color lines of which harmonized with the gowns of the young women to form a most pleasing picture.
 The dancers were from both sides of the city. as we'll as from the north and south sections. The patronesSes of the event contributed not a little to the success of the evening, and en- joyed themselves as much as the bret tiest of the pretty girls who graced the occasion.

The postal savings bank bill, hav- ing been adopted by a. House Repub-

The postal savings bank bill, hav- ing been adopted by a House Repub- lican caucus, will evidently be passed by that body. An amendment divid- ing the deposits has been approved. Sixty-five per cent must be redeposit- ed in banks in the State; 30 per cent. may be invested in U. s. bonds, and the remaining per cent. must be held as a reserve fund. It is not very probable that the measure will pass the Senate. unless so amended as to allow the bulk at least of the de- posits to be dumped into Aldrich's proposed central bank. But most probably, the bill will drop between the two houses.

MT. Joseph T. Talbert, vice presi- dent of the National City Bank of New York city which is classed as a Standard Oil-Morgan- institution, re- gently delivered an address before the Texas Bankers convention upon ''Our National Vice." which is, in his opinion, extravaganza. He attributes it to wealth of natural resources. ease of acquiring a living and long cycles of prosperity" which ''beget habits of wastefulness and prodigal- ity." He finds this extravagance in National, State and municipal gov ernment, but lays the most stress up- on individual, extravagance which has One item of this extravaganza he cites as follows:
 We are sQuandering on pleasure vehicles annually sums of money run ming into hundreds of millions of dollars. The initial cost of automo- piles to American users amounts to not less than s250,000,0O0 a year. The upkeep and other necessary ex- penditures, as well as other incident als, which would not otherwise De in cured, amount to at least as much more. This vast sum is equivalent in actual economic waste to more than the value of property destroyed in the San Francisco 4ire-perhaps to twice as mulch.
 Thousands upon thousands of our people, frenzied by their desire for pleasure and crazed by passion to spend, have mortgaged their homes, pledged their life insurance policies, withdrawn their hardearned savings from banks to buy automobiles; and have thereby converted their modest assets into expanding and devouring liabilities. The spectacle is astound- ing.
 There is undoubtedly much of truth in MT. Talbert's indictment, and yet it is noticeable that most of the pleas for individual economy come from men of wealth whose example is demoralizing in that they, do not practice what they preach

greater share in the high cost of living to the tariff, saying:
 The tariff has had more to do with the increased cost of living than any thing else, unless it is that the high wages of America have, unconsciously perhaps, carried the people up to gen erous living, if not extravaganza.
 The fact that cotton, beef, milk, and breadstuffs can be "cornered'' by skill full financiers and the syndicates that are formed to control almost every commodity that enters into living and building, sets pace which stimulates a rise in almost everything that is made and sold, and this may have a bearing upon the higher cost of liv- ing and working in these days.

TWO PREACHERS IN
HARD FIST FIGHT

Atlanta. February 23.-Another exciting
incident in the affairs of the Congrega-
tional Methodist church Of this city and
the Atlanta Bible school, an affiliated in
stitution, came today when the Rev. Rolfe
Hunt, pastor of the church and president
of the school, engaged in a fist fight with
the Rev. o. S. Talent of Talent, Mo-.
senior student in the school.
The trouble between the two men has
been brewing since Christmas, according
to Mr.. Talent, when he was reprimanded
for paying TOO much attention to young
woman student. The complaint against
Talent was taken up at a meeting OF the
school faculty yesterday, when Talent
was suspended for six months for alleged
violations of school rules.
After the chapel exercises this morning
Talent went to the presidents office and
proceeded to read a statement In answer
to the charges against him, which result
ed in his suspension. In this statement,
it is sai0 he mentioned the name of Mr..
Hunts daughter, which angered Hunt and
provoked the attack.
What action will be taken by the Bible
school and the church is not known. but
1t is stated a full investigation will be
made and the incident Officially aired.

Take 1.-THE Post-Offfiice
Out of Politics

In attempting to charge up the deficit in his
Department against the magazines the Postmaster
General has done the country genuine, even It an
unintentiona, service. He has drawn attention to
the necessity for thorough reorganization Of the
Postal Department. He has emphasized the i'm
portance of taking the Post-Ohice out Of politics
for all time.
The Fifty-ninth Congress authorized an inves-
tigation of postal affairs, and joint commission,
headed by Senator Penrose and Representative
Overstreet, made thorough investigation of the
whole subject AS a result, the Overstreet bill,
which contains many excellent recommendations,
was presented. 1t is not from guesswork that we
have concluded that the Department is in need Of
radical reorganization, but from the official reports
of this Joint Congressional Postal Commission
and of the disnterested accountants hired by it to
investigate the business methods of the Depart
ment We quote from these reports, remember
ing that the findings and criticisms are not ours,
but those of Congressional Commission and its
authorized agents First read these recommended

Prominent residents of the Eastern Dis

District Subway League attended a meet
ing last night at No. 759 Metropolitan ave-
nue., at which the president of the cygani-
cation, Ernest Gilmore Gardner. spoke
glowingly Of the prospects of the league
and referred with much enthusiasm TO the
kindly reception the organization received
from Public Service commissioners.
THE recent snowstorm has demonstrated
more fcrcibly than ever the need of bet
ter transit connections with the rest of the
city" he said. The time has arrived when
We must act. The Public Service Commits
sion has pointed out TO US that, while we
offer businesslike plan and one that will
receive their full consideration, yet the
city's money is wellnigh exhausted and If
no help comes from the city We must either
do without A subway or look to private
ca pital or assessment methods for construc-
tion and operation. In order that there may
be no excuse for not securing a subway, |
have been interviewing prominent business
men and other financial interests. and they
express their willingness TO cooperate with
us IN any plausible plan we may offer. l

proceed with the formation Of q company
which will spply to the Public Service Com

COPPER MERGER PLANNED.
Amalgamated and Cole-Ryan Interests
to Consolidate.

Negotiations are under way, it was said
in well informed quarters yesterday. look
ing to the consolidation Of the Butte cop
per properties controlled by the Amalga-
mated Copper Company and Cole-Ryan in
terests. The consolidation will include the
Boston and Montana, North Butte, Butte
Coalition. Butte and Boston, Washoe, Tren-
ton and Anaconda copper companies and
the coal and lumber properties of the Anal
gamated and the Great Falls and ~4VasfIoe
smelters The combined output of the
companies mentioned is close to 300 900, 900
pounds OF copper d year.
The plan proposed 1or the consolidation
of these various companies, ii is said, pro-
vides for the formation of a new company
which will offer TO buy the properties and
not the shares of the concerns it is pro-
posed to take over. The Amalgamated
Copper Company under the plan, is to take
pay for its properties in the shares of the
new, company, giving it complete control
of the new concern. The idea of offering
cash stock in payment for the operating
concerns, it is said, is to avoid any obiec-
tions which minority stock holders might
offer to the plan.

BIG BREAK IN COTTON.
Prices Fall More than 60 Points in Last
Half Hour of Trading.

There was a sensational break in the cot
ton market in the last half hour of the ses-
sion yesterday, prices dropping more than
60 points, s3 a bale, from the high point
of the day. and the decline ending only with
the close of the market. May, which has
been selling we'll above IS cents since
Christmas, led the break, dropping from
1924, the high point of the day, to 1850,
a decline of Ga points. or So 20 a bale. The
other active options also slumped in sensa-
tiOnal fashion. July showing the biggest
loss in the whole LISTS points, or IS 80 a
bale.
The break was due to enormous liquida-
tion by Wall Street houses and bear pres
sure. following reports of an unsatisfactory
demand for spot cotton in the South. On
the way down many stop loss orders were
uncovered. which aided in the demoraliza-
ton of the market, and the downward
movement once begun, was continued un-
checked until the close. which was at the
lowest point of the day.
