about them. Naturally also in their It. tie world of the Paris slums, each apache is likely to look to his girl for the money he needs. As she may fail him and his own settled determination not to work does not bring him money, he is further more likely to resort to any violence nec- essary to procure it, sometimes as a sol- -itary footpad, oftener as a bandit infest- ing dark street corners with his gang. And this Is why he is so often confound- ed with the mere white shaver and thief. Many of his worst pranks, murder h. cluded are not for money at all. but for glory or to avenge his honor in his own world.
 What is the problem in all this? Xvi dently the Paris apache is not essentially different from the well-nigh extinct Lon don 4'fooIigarf's or San Francisco hood lum.'' A sociologist would begin by in- vestigating the origin and evolution of the breed.
 A Probfem for Paris
 It must always have existed in Paris in the latent state. If it has suddenly come to light-chiefy the uncertain light of night lamps propitious to dark deeds there must be reason for it. Whatever the reason may be-parents' carelessness or loss of authority lack of formation of conscience since religion has disap- peared, decay of serious apprenticeship to trades, freedom Of alcohol and debauch from extreme youth-there is no present question of suppressng the breed in itS origin.
 Only oppressive measures remain. Pre- feet of Police Lepine, on whom the bur den is cast, says openly that penal laws already existing would do much if en- forced; and he planes the leniency of the police courts. Here is an example: On 26 out of the 31 days of last July. persons in Paris were shot with revolv- ersers. Of these 56 crimes IS were due to apaches pure and simple If the laws concerning the carrying of concealed weapons were enforced, this would not have been possible. Can such laws be enforced?
 All this has led to an agitation which is to come up in parliament. Why not use the successful London remedy, the cato -nine-tails? First, say all republi- cans, because it is contrary to the human principles of the French Revolution. Sec ond, says nearly everyone, because polit- teal influence would intervene to save apaches of the right party-and to dis grace by a whipping those of the oppo- site party, apaches or not.

Tt is, therefore, heard with satisfaction that there is @ possibility of the To- hacco trust and Standard Oil cases be- ing argued before the supreme court ear ly in January instead of the middle of February as programmed. There is noth- ing official in this announcement, but Is is generally believed as the report came from Washington sources usually relia- be. The street has been taking con- siderable interest in the question of ap- pointments of new judges on the supreme bench and listens eagerly to all the gos- sip coming from the capital on that subject. So far as can be ascertained, the street has had no candidates though. of course, the background log rolling would be kept a deadly secret. The public would be the last to hear anything about 1t.

STOCK MARKET
 HAS EVEN TONE Street Is Comparatively Free of Pestiferous Manipulation PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Has q Bad Effect on Trading, When It First Appenrs-Large specu-
 Iative Accounts Are Taken
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
By W. G. NICHOLAS

New York, December 10.-The market has been comparatively free from pesti- ferrous manipulation this week. That is because the pestiferous manipulators have been set back and kept in state of sub jection They were taught that 1t was not good form to advertise their plays too openly and that brass band and string instruments did not make music pleasant to the public are or alluring to investors.
 It now appears that the much exploit ed speculative syndicate which had vol untarily come to the assistance of the Morgan party was not real, sure enough hard and fast syndicate, but group of successful plungers held together by sort of gentlemen's agreement, leadership in the movement being given to an oper- ator who had been exceptionally success ful during a series of campaigns extend- ing through three or four years. That kind of a record was supposed to have IT ade him a leader.
 The experience of the past month has dlsillusioned this plunger and his friends and has shown them that something be- sides that is necessary for leadership of the kind that inspires confidence and large public following. Thos fact hav- ing been impressed upon the small and | ambitious membership in the gentlemen's syndicate by bankers of great power, tne campaign so noisily began collapsed, leaving the street full of mixed emotions of sorrow over losses sustained on im- riudent purchases and of joy over the suppression of a bunch of plunging gamb- blers when performances had driven away the public. cut the commission busl- ness down to nothing and brought the Stock Exshange into worse repute than 1t was before.

The Presidents message and discussion over the prospects of political legisla- ton have engrossed large share of the attention of Wall street this wee. Al The start-off the measure had bad mar ket effect. It is true that the, main fea- lures of the document had been com mon property in the street for 24 hours before it's submission to Congress, but something more than a knowledge of the striking passages was required before thero could be a satisfactory analysis. Smmered down, the message does not give whole lot of enjoyment to the large and anxious element whose prayer IS to be let alone.
 The President assures those whom it may concern that no new legislation on business subjects need be looked for with in 8 year. That is because the next Con- gross will not convene until a year from now His assurance therefore amounts to little more than a pledge of exemp- ton from doing anything for year that can't be done. Meantime, the existing laws will be vigorously enforced' and tested out. There is nothing in this to fiji Wall street with exuberant joy.
 There is in this section no wild clamor for the enforcement of anti-corporation and antitrust laws, either in whole or part. Come to think of it, Wall street discovered that it is not as anxious for a years respite as it is for an early set tiement of important pending questions.

 Those who have known all along how the interstate commerce commission was going to decide those freight rate ques tions are not quite so cocksure now IS they were. The railroads who let it be known that they had presented a case so very strong that it must perforce fla yorable influence the commission to de- eide their way have apparently seen a new light
 They are obliged to admit that the shippers have also made a strong case and presented facts and arguments cal culated to impress mortal mind, particu- larly political mortal mind, with the force of public opinion against showing railroads special favors. It will be a great and glorious thing for the stock market when this rate question will be decided one way or the other. If the railroads should bring all or part of what thev are asking there will be no further excuse for not going ahead with i'm provements and replacements now held in abeyance.
 On the other hand, If the railroads should be turned down, they can adjust their affairs to fit conditions and go ahead on a modified scale. They will remember that they have worried along and earned dividends without the advance in rates and may conclude that they can pull through without the revenue that
 would be derived from an increased tax on traffic. In any event, the situation will be cleared of the element of doubt, and that will be big thing from bus mess and stock market point of view. One of the incidents of the week has
 been the taking over of a large specua-
 tive account by interests that did not
 care to see a big block of stocks thrown
 on the market. Late Tuesday afternoon
 and during Wednesday forenoon 8 line of
 between 4OO 900 and 600,000 shares was
 shifted in open market within the limits
 of one point or less, the principal stocks
 being Steel Union Pacific, Reading and
 Amalgamated Copper.
 The stuff was tossed out and taken over
 in blocks of 5000 and 10000 shares and
 1t came so fast as to fairly startle the
 exchange. There is no certainty as to
 the identity of the party or parties who transferred their holdings and got out but the finger points to one or two or three heavyweight operators. And after all it doesn't make much difference as if was not a case of threatened insolvency but merely sudden and violent change of heart from rampant and impatient bvllishness to a position of doubt and timidity.
 MT. Morgan's failure to mutualize the
 Tolitable Life Assurance company as per half promise made when the great banker took over MT. Thomas Fortune Rvan's controlling interest in that com rany. caused a mild thrill. No explana- tions were offered as to why he did not announce a plan at the annual meeting. He simply did not do so, and let it go at that.
 Retention of financial control of this great money collecting agency might easily be a matter of the very highest importance should there come an urgent need for the use of the huge life in- surance deposits. MT. Hartman always found it very desirable to have control

KENYON
Football Squad To Assemble
On Sept. l9

Gambler, o., Sept. 10-Coach Pierce
has ordered the Kenyon candidates to
report to him on Sept. 10th at Gam
bier. Last year the Kenyon team
reported a week earlier, but this year
Pierce feels that the work will not be
so heavy and he wants the men to be
in such shape towards the last of the
season that they won't go stale for
the State game.
In letter to one of the candidates,
Coach Pierce, who is one of the best
authorities on the new game, says
that the new rules will give the
coaches plenty of chance to expert
ment.
Kenyons season opens with Colum-
bus East High on September "a at
Gambler. On October Kenyon meets
Otterbein in the annual game. This
game has become more interesting the
last two years because of the fact
that both elevens have been instruct
ed by rival Indian coaches.

RALLY
OF St. Paul'S Episcopal Sun.
day School Tomorrow

Several years ago the Sunday school
of st. Paul's parish was arranged ac.
cording to a graded course of study,
eight years of primary and prepara-
tory and four years advanced grades,
the lesson running parallel with the
day schools, from the first of Septem-
Der to the end of June. Special pro-
grams are arranged for a shorter ses-
sion during July and August
Another years work begins with
regular sessions at this time, and ev-
cry scholar, as well as teacher, should
take UP their work just as punctually
and conscienciously as at the day
school,
Tomorrow, in place of study ses-
sion, the school will meet promptly at
the parish house at 1915, and march
in a body to the church and attend
morning prayer. In place of a SER
mon addresses will be made by the
rector, Rev. w. E. Hull, the superin-
tendent of the Sunday school-Mr.
Clyde G. Conley, and probably others.
1t is hoped that there will be a
large attendance of the parish as well
as of the Sunday school to consider
this vital question, which so deeply
concerns the welfare of the church.

Was Joseph URdGrWOOd'S
Foot Under Street Car
When He Attempted To
Alight From Moving Car
At Corner OF High And Jack
son StS. Friday Night

Joseph Underwood, a laborer, re-
siding on the Granville road, South
Vernon, was the victim of most dis
tressing accident Friday evening at
about 1880 o'clock when a portion of
his left fooot was crushed by street
car at the corner of West High and
Jackson street
Mr.. Underwood had been to the
state fair, Columbus, during the day
and upon going home he found his
wife absent and supposing her to be
at the residence of his daughter In
the west end of the city he boarded
west bound High street car WILDER
Bickel was the motorman in charge
of the car and according to his story,
Mr.. Underwood did not wait for the
car to stop at High and Jackson
streets, but attempted to get off while
the car was in motion. Mr. Under
wood was on the front end of the car
and in some manner his foot caught
and he was thrown directly in front
of the car. The car was almost at a
stop when the accident occurred, but
Mr.. Underwood's left foot was
caught under one of the wheels of
the car and portion of his left foot
was crushed. The little toe was en-
tirely severed and portion of the
side of the foot badly mangled. Mr..
Underwood was wearing heavy shoes
and this probably saved him from
more serious results.
The injured man was removed to
the Office of Dr. Stanton e. Deeeley
where the injury was dressed, it being
necessary to amputate the little toe
and small portion of the left side
of the foot After receiving surgi-
cal attention the injured man was re,
moved to the home of his daughter-in-
law on West Vine street.
