CORONER DECLARES MOORE
DIED OF HEART DISEASE
Post-Mortem Examination on Body of
Son of Financier Fails to Reveal
Foul Play

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-After a post
mortem examination of the body of
Nathaniel F. Moore, son of James
H. Moore, the financier, who was found
dead in a resort here today, Coroner's S
Physician Reinhardt announced that
.oore had died of heart disease su-
perinduced by gastritis and nephritis.
"A more thorough. post mortem eX-
animation could not have been made
said the coroner "It proved conclu-
sively that Moore died of heart dis
ease Not the slightest trace of drugs
or poisoning was found, nor was
there an external mark of violence"
Moore was known to be lavish with
money and did not confine his spending
to any one section of the country.
When he was 81 years old, in 1905. he
was given a check for 100000 by his
father.
According to the police Mr.. Moore
reached the house in a taXicab at z
o'clock Sunday morning. He had been
drinking, and at o'clock complained
he was Ill. He died a short time later.
The body was taken to the Moore
home in a private ambulance.
Young Moore in the winter of 1907
caused Broadway, New York, to gasp
by giving a $4,000 dinner to a select
few. Gold and diamond sleeve but
tons were given away to the guests.
At a dinner given on his twenty-tirst
birthday Moore gave away to the
guests pearl necklaces costing several
hundred dollars each.

ASQUITH DRAWS
LINES PLAINLY
SAYS LORDS HAVE VIOLATED
CONSTITUTION
REJECTION OF BUDGET is MAIN
QUESTION AT ISSUE
Ministers and Former Ministers Again
on Platform at Close of the
Campaign in Great
Britain
Associated Pressl

LONDON, Jan. 10.-Parliament hav-
ing been formally dissolved. Herbert
S. Asquith, prime minister, tonight
issued an address to electors in a brief
document, ignoring all side issues
raised in the course of the campaign,
and confined strictly to the constitu-
tional question involved in the lords
rejection of the budget.
In defense of the budget the premier
says: "It apportioned new taxes
among luxuries, superfuities and mo-
nopolies. leaving necessaries of life
untouched
Again he says: I'm that sentence
the house of lords has violated the
constitution in order to save the cause
of tariff reform from a mortal blow"
The premier declares the lords claim
to the control of the country's finances
is usurpation and that the experience
of the parliament Just dissolved shows
the possession of an unlimited vote by
a partisan second chamber is an in
superable obstacle to democratic leg
islation.
After a brief weekend respite, A. ].
Balfour, the opposition leader, Chancel-
lor Lloyd George, Winston Churchill
and other ministers and ex-ministers
are again busy on the platform. Mr..
Balfour. at Aberdeen, reiterated To-
night that all the great problems
thrown pell nell before the country
by the present government could not
be decided by one or even two general
elections. AS for home rule, he said,
the electors ought to be allowed to
pronounce upon it by itself.
Mr.. Churchill, at Birmingham, suf-
fered considerable interruption from
suffragettes, several of whom were ex-
PEELED.
A crowd of unionists invaded Lib
eral meeting at Cumberland, parlia-
mentary borough of London, and Gre
ated such disturbance that Thomas
James MacNamara, M. p, for that
district, could not get a hearing and
was obliged to abandon the attempt.
Sir Edward Grey, foreign secretary,
at Edinburgh, declared there never has
been less reason to talk about war
between England and Germany than
there is today

waste any time trying to graft 'ad-
vanced" vaudeville onto the old va
riety. What they give us is well
chosen, nevertheless, and the oldest of
their jokes go down without struggle.
Another new act, although the play
ers were here last week, is Lawrence
Grattan's whmsicality, "Dreamona."
A millionaire and his negro bodygudrd
get lost in an old New Orleans garden.
Tired out, they go to sleep. a sleep
walking damsel with a novel penchant
for talking up to date slang with
dreamy twang ambles up on the scene.
Comedy situations there are none,
properly speaking, but the dialogue is
amusing and the character work of
Miss Blanche Craig and Earl Ford, in
two negro roles, is very good. Miss
Eva Taylor is the sleep walker. Her
dramatic opportunities are practically
nil, but she poses effectively and
charmingly. 1t makes an agreeable
change from last weeks vehicle, al
though hardly so creditable to Mr..
Grattan's pen.
The four Readings do several novel
turns in hand balancing, showing
muscular agility and a bit of inter
polated comedy. 1t is hard for the Sc
riCus minded athlete to be a comedian,
but these performers make fair stab
at it. Their acrobatIc work is we'll
worth seeing.
The Klein family mingle humor with
most of the old riding feats and some
new ones. They conclude the bill
agreeably. Carl Nobel is a Scandi-
navian ventriloquist who introduces
some original elements into his work,
although we have len so spoiled for
this sort of thing by the big ensemble
acts of the sort recently seen on the
circuit that quality minus quantity is
slow to impress us. The old French
soldier sings the stirring Marseillaise
with fine gusto, however.
Holding over are Florence Bindley
in a new and better act, Stella Nor
risini and her dogs and ponies and the
Fox -Millership trio There are new
pictures.

NEW ORLEANS EXCHANGE is
SCENE OF Widest TRADING

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 10.-One of the
widest days of trading ever recorded
on the New Orleans cotton exchange
was seen today following the census
bureau report on the amount of cotton
ginned up to January l. This report
was regarded as decidedly bullish, and
the first tendency of the market was to
so up.
Active deliveries first advanced 81
above, and then under an avalanche of
selling orders, which increased rapidly
in volume, slumped off and finally
broke $3.50 a bale.
Partial recoveries were made on profit
taking by shorts, but the market was
unable to withstand the terrific ham
mering of the bears and at one time
went as low as 116 points below the
high level of the day.

PASADENA TOURNAMENT
WILL HAVE SMALL DEFICIT
Postponement and Extra Cost for Re-
pairing Track Cause for Not
Breaking Even

PASADENA, Jan. 10.-Practically
complete financial figures indicate that
in spite of the postponement of the
Tournament park program for one
week and the big expense of repairing
the track, the net deficit will not eX-
ceed $500. This means that if it is de-
cided to call upon the guarantee fund
at all that call will be under 10 per
cent of the amount subscribed, and per-
haps not more than per cent.
The estimated expense of the Tourna-
ment of Roses for 1910 is $1,000. This is
q fair indication of what the rose
pageant really means in dollars and
cents, for the cost of decorating the
entries is not included, and this year
every expense incurred by the manage
ment of the association was cut to the
utmost. President Cary of the associa-
tion places the probable attendance at
Tournament park at between 5000 and
10000, with probably 500 free admis-
sions. The average paid was something
under a dollar and the gate receipts
should total about S6500.

ALL READY FOR DEMAND
OF AERIAL MILK STATIONS

Farmer John McCullum says he
never told lie, according to the Phil
adelphia Telegraph. The other day.
in the company of friends, he unreeled
a yarn that put to shame any ever
heard by them. This is it:
'I once had a calf that had its leg
broken. l cut a willow sprig and
bound it up. About three years ago
that calf disappeared, and L never
heard anything from it until the other
day, when 1 happened upon willow
tree that looked familiar, and, looking
up, saw a COW at the extreme end.
What do you suppose? That twig
that 1 tied to the calf's leg had taken
root and grown, and that calf, sus-
pended at the end of the tree, is to-
day a full grown cow"
McCullums friends advised him to
keep it there, for the day was coming
when aerial milk stations would be in
demand by aviators.

BEARS HAMMER
COTTON PRICES
LOSSES REACH AS HIGH AS
$4.80 A BALE
NEW YORK BROKERS SELL ON
ENORMOUS SCALE
Bull Element Takes Profit on Large
Lines of Commodities to Allow
Shorts to Sell Themselves
Into Hole
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK. Jan. 10.-Under press
ure of enormous liquidation, involving
the sale of approximately 100000 bales,
the New York cotton exchange was hit
hard by a bear raid today, with losses
of as high as $3.50 bale.
William P. Brown and Frank B.
Hayne, who are credited with being
among the leaders in the bull cam
paign, which of late has taken profits
estimated at $13,000,000, were on the
floor of the exchange, active figures in
one of the most exciting sessions in its
history.
May cotton, which recently has been
at high as $1619, dropped as low as
SIS. 90, March touched $15.06 as its low
est point, while July opened at $3.50,
dropping to $15.32, and closed a point
higher. May closed at $15.34 and
March at SIS II.
The bears fought bitterly and sold at
an enormous scale, several brokers each
selling 25,000 bales. The bull element
seeing the drift of things, took profits
on a large line Of cotton, probably with
the idea of allowing the shorts to sell
themselves into a hole, and the slump
of 81 to S2 points resulted.
The second parliament of King Ed
wards reign ended today. The cere-
mony was brief.
Four privy councillors attended at
Buckingham palace, where the king
signed the proclamation dissolving the
present and summoning a new parlia-
ment to meet February 15., Within an
hour the royal writs had been dis
patched from the crown office to every
constituency of the United Kingdom.
