Joliet, Wis, June 2l.-Josepn M
Stage, the Wisconsin soldier who was
informed of the existence of his broth
er, Cornelius, who was thought to have
been killed sixty-three years ago, is an
old Joliet resident. The Stage broth
ers and their father were former con
tractors here and had much to do with
the construction of numerous old

nesday. He passed the store of Bush
| & Handwerk's where Mrs. Frank

Kelly took one look and said:
That is either my father or his
brother"
She knew her father was dead and
cried out, Uncle joe"

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
A BRISK MARKET.
Lively Trading During Forsnosn n
Advanced Prices.

New York, March 2e.-In response to
movement of broader scope than had
been attempted for some time, the
stock market today shook of its Ieth-
argy and advanced briskly. Opening
prices were at good gains, and in the
nrst hour about as much business was
transacted as in the entire session OF
yesterday, the rise soon reaching q
point In some Of the important issues
Trading did not proceed long at high
patch, however, and although gains
were generally held, the afternoon ses-
sion was quiet.
There was no evidence to show that
the increased activity today was due
to outside demand or to any cause
other than professional manipulation
which took the form of a demonstra-
ton against the short interest. Prices
were bid up just before the close yes
terday and buying orders in the Lon
don market Increased the rise there
before trading began here today.
There was some uneasiness on the
bear side when the market opened still
stronger, and urgent covering doubt
less was large factor in the days
advance.
The English market was reported to
have bought extensively Of Union Pa
cific and United States Steel and while
some of the business may have orig
mated in Now Yorkinlanipulation, ar
Uitxd8o 1iouSeS mere sara l4e movement
rejected In part at least the effect OF
hedging, on account of options soon
falling due abroad.
Canadian Pacific still forged ahead
to another high record, rising 2 SIS to
224. 1t was learned today that the
company had purchased a large tract
Of land to add to its holdings, and the
probability of still higher dividends
from land operations as result of
this transaction sent the stock I'D
brislkly. Union Pacific, LelMgh Valley,
Reading, and Norfolk and Western, all
of which gained from one to two
points, were among the stronger
blocks. American Woclen common
and preferred broke sharply, evidently
In response to disagreement of various
elements in the company as to the
of the common stock of the corpora
tien.
International bankers received ad :
vices from Paris indicating that me-
getfations for the listing OF Atchison
on the Bourse are well toward the
point of contamination. If today,s re-
ports be supported, the stock will be
placed In the "officiaI department OF
the Paris exchange. Tt is understood
that a foreign syndicate, chiefly of
French composition, has taken a large
block Of Atchison convertible bonds.
Apropos Of this 1t is noteworthy that
several issues of convertible bonds,
namely American Telephone, Norfolk
and Western, and Union Pacific, were
features of today's trading in the bond
division, the last two in particular
keeping pace with the activity in the
shares of those companies.

FOUR VARSITY BOATS
ROWING AT YALE.
Competition Will Be Keen for Places
in the First Eight.

The spring plans for the Yale crews
are still a matter of doubt, as Captain
Frost has made no announcements as
yet. The date of the Yale-Harvard
race on the Thames is still undecided.
Although some of the afternoons
during the past week were more like
those of February, all the Yale crews
were out upon the water daily, and
the boathouse from 2 to was the
scene Of greater activity than at any
time since the opening of thu work
there.
There are four varsity boats rowing
now, and some keen competition for
seats in the first boat Is certain to be
shown. There are a number of heavy
men in the boats and the football men
who reported show much promise.
-Four crews represent the freshman
squad also and the men have taken
hold with will. The remainder of the
1914 men are divided into the following
crews: Pierson hall, York street, Shelf
and the Club.
The class crews which are being
coached by Fred Plaisted, the famous
seuller; have organized.
One of the features Of the work this
spring has been the large number of
spectators which turn out every after
noon to watch the men row. This
sign Of added interest in rowing there
Is laid of course to the opening of the
new modern house.
The most spectacular feature of the
week was the near capsizing of one Of
the shells when it was caugllt-in gale
in the harbor. One of the men snap
ped his oar and wrenched an outrig-
ger, and when the wind hit the frail
shell for a few minutes the men were
in danger of going overheard. Be-
tween the stroke and the coxswain the
boat was headed into the whitecaps
and the trip to she boathouse made.
One of the men hoped into the icy
water when near the house and waded
ashore.

| EASTERN LEAGUE, HAS
HEAVYWEIGHT UMPIREs.
President Barrows Has No Fears for
His Staff of Arbitrators.


President Barrows of the Eastern
be of the brow-beaten sort For size
they stack up well with any staff that
the circuits produce. Only one mem
Der of last years staff James Muir
ray-was re- engaged by President
Barrows, but two of the new execu-
tive's MISUNDERSTANDING Rudder-
ham and. Robert Black-have umpirod
in the big minor organizations Of the
east before and also have played In
it; Pat Wright also has played in
the eastern. Rudderham was for six
seasons one of the Providence clubs
most effective pitchers, and umpired
with success in the Eastern in 1904
Black was with the Rochester club
many years ago and umpired in the
Eastern, part Of the season of 1908
In selecting his umpires, President
BarrOws worked along the same lines
as he did when he was q manager and
was after players. He got the best
men available from the other leagues.
Two of the new arbitrators-Jofn
Pollock and Pat Wright-were rec
commended to President Burrows by
the American league, while Judge
Cavanaugll, president of the Southern
association, assured the Eastern's new
executive that in Rudderham he was
away the best umpire in the Class A
organization of Dixieland. Robert
Hart, Bob Fender and Bill Bannon
also came tothe Eastern highly rec
commended.
The Eastern's umpires all are big
men, six of them being six feet or
over in height and five of them weigh
| ing 200 or more pounds. The distinc-
ton of being the tallest arbitrator lies
between Black and Bannon, each
! man being six feet one and one-half
inches tall. James Murray, who tips
the scales at 215 pounds, is the heav-
| Test member Of the staff, and Rud-
| derham, weighing 170 pounds, the
| lightest. Wright, Fender and Black
each are 20 years old; Murray and
Rudderham each 2S, Bannon IS, and
Hart and Pollock each &c.
Six of the arbitrators were born in
the United States, one first saw the
light of day in Nova Scotia, and ons
claims Scotland as his birthplace. Tha
man from Canada is Black, and the
person from the land of the heather
is Pollock. The Scot, moreover, is a
college graduate, having attended
Dixon college, Dixon, Ill, an institu
ton of learning of which Davy Jones.
the fleet outfielder of the Detroit
Tigers, also was a student.

Wind shields are often productive OF
a peculiar variety Of squeak which is
at times difficult to locate. The reason
for the squeak is that of wind shields
which are cut to conform to the shape
of the dashboard seldom fit the way
they should fit, which is to say that
while they may appear to fit perfectly
there may be one or two high spots
which rub. One way to obviate the
trouble is to place a strip of felt be-
tween the dashboard and the filler
board of the shield, which will not only
do away with the squeak but protect
