London, Sept. 29.-Having been an
alderman for thirteen years and filed
the office of sheriff for one term, Sir
Thomas Boor Crosby, wealthy mer-
chant and financier, today went
through the solemn farce of being
elected Lord Mayor of the City Of
London. He will be formally in
stalled in office on November 9, when
the time-honored pageant known as
the Lord Mayors Show" will take
place.
Unlike all other great municipali-
ties, London's Lord Mayor is not
chosen by the people, though there
was a time-some 300 or more years
ago-when they really were elected
by the citizens. But the aldermen,
who are elected for life, decided that
a position so exalted as that or Loro
Mayor should not be thrown open to
outsiders and made dependent on pop
ular favor. So they fixed things up so
that every alderman, if he live long
enough, is assured of becoming LORD
MAJOR when his turn comes. When
Sir Thomas Vesey Strong was elected
last year, Sir Thomas Crosby was
next" and now it is his turn to take
the civic chair.
The system pleases the aldermen
and does not make much difference
to anybody else. The office OF LORD
Mayor has long since been shorn OF
its once great powers and has become
a mere figurehead billet, though 1t is
invested with more fictitious dignity
than any other post in England. NO
more violent contrast is to be found
the world over than that existing be-
tween the various duties of the LORD
Nayor. Theoretically, at least, the
King of Great Britain and Ireland and
Emperor of India cannot enter the
city of London without his consent.
Yet he spends a considerable part or
each day dispensing justice upon the
inebriates and other petty Offenders
who have broken the peace of the
square mile of territory over which he
rules. In addition to his duties as a
magistrate he is required to attend
probably five hundred public and semi
public dinners, balls, receptions and
meetings of various kinds during the
year he spends in the high office. Fol
these duties he receives salary equal
to that of the President of the United
States and twice as much SIS tnat OF
the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Perhaps it is as well that the Lord
Mayor nowadays does not possess the

According to the Cotton Bill of Lad
ing Bureau, New York, seventy-five
railways of the Southern State, in
Guiding all of the principal cotton
carriers, have signed an agreement
under which they will send to the
bureau copies of bills of lading of all
shipments of cotton destined for Eu-
rope. A representative of the Liver
pool conference which helped estab-
fish this bureau says that losses by
frauds of a year ago aggregated $6,-

using bills Of lading for which no cot

play he and Chase have been known
to lunge across the plate and clout
near wild pitch safely past the in

Another star hitter, Eddie Collins, Is
loose and shambling at the plate HIS
movements, however, are under per
feet control. He hasn't the quiet
poise of the more statuesque LaJoie,
and his bat is held in various posi-
tions, though he doesn't wriggle 1t as
do some batters. Wherever held, he
brings it into use with the swiftest

absolutely unconstrained at the bat,
