FIRST THINGS

The first woman in America to adopt literature as a profession was Hannah Adams, who died eighty-one years ago. She was born in 1755 at Medfield, Mass, the daughter of a merchant of scholarly inclina,tions. The father, asLatin and Greek scholar, had little business acunaen and while his financial failure forced her to earn her own living from the age of seV- enteen. For time she was a teacher, and augmented her scanty income by making lace. Her first literary work was a History of the Jews, and this was followed in 1799 by a History of New England She wrote many Hooks on religious subjects. The World is described by her biographer, Mrs. G. G. Lee, as small in stature. an inveterate snuff-taker and fond of very strong tea, and deaf in her lat ter years The peerniary gains from her writings were small as compared with those enjoyed by the popular feminine authors of today, but, with the assistance of an annuity provided by her admirers, she managed to keep the wolf from the door and to devote her entire mature life to the profes- sion in which she was the feminine pathfinder.
 The first great exposition of the products, manufactures and arts of the New World was opened in New OrI0d1iS IW0uLy-G1SnL years ago IOOdy- The exhibits from European countries were of minor importance and did not compare with the previous exposition at Philadelphia, but the displays from Central and South America, Mexico and the West Indies were most com plete. and gave a tremendous impetus to the trade between those countries and the United States. All of the States of the Union, and Canada, were well represented. The Panama canal movement, as a. United States govern

STOCK GAMBLING

The stock exchange is not particu- larly scrupulous, apparently, about anything except commissions.
 Frank K. sturgis. a stock exchange leader, admits that patrons always lose their securities, when brokers fail
 The manipulation of stocks by syn dicates and pools for the purpose ot inflating and depressing prices is re- garded as perfectly proper. Brokers deliberately borrow money upon stocks belonging to customers, without much regard to the amount of the custom CTS investment therein.
 A brokers seat in the stock exchange is worth something like s95,000, but when broker fails his seat is not sold but its proceeds are first used to sat isfy the claims of any other members of the exchange.
 Millions Of dollars are loaned in a single day to carry on stock exchange operations. This money is withdrawn from sources where it would other wise be used to finance legitimate bus mess
 These are serious facts. They are facts which the American people should seriously contemplate. They are not faneiful, but are based upon the admissions, before a Congressional Investigating committee, of a man who knows the stock gambling game through and through as an active par ticipator in it.
 What are we going to do about it?

Louisiana Constitutional Convention in 1S9S.. In 1903 he was elected to Congress, ands has been returned regularly ever since. Upon his re- tfreme ent. next March he will be sue ceeded by Dr. L. Lazaro, and will re turn to Lake Charles to resume the practice of law. Chasing the Money Devil around stump he has found good sport, but not very lucrative.
 As the Big Probe of the Pujo Probers the Louisiana Congressman has spent ting the affairs of practically every big financial institution of the Unit ed States, but he will leave Congress with his task still unfinished The money octopus has thousands Of ten tacles, and is related to similar mon ey devils in all great nations of Europe and South America Skeptics who laughed at the so-caIled money trust, and denied the existence of such a devil have been forced to amend their views owing to startling and sensational revelations already made by the Pujo probers. It has been shown that most of the great trusts railroad companies and banks of the United States are in close communion and have an identity of interests ow- torates, and that one man, J. iP. Morgan, is really the ruler of this great empire of dollar domination
 As a remedy for the evils of the money trust, Chairman Pujo is un5 deretood to favor scertain national banking Legislation. In this he differs with some of his colleagues, who ad- vocat te other methods for putting the Morey Devil out of commission

FIND RO DEED SAFE
Inspectors of Public Utilities ConnInfs.
 sion Have Made Their Report.

New Haven, Dec. 16-The three in- spectors employed by the public sltili- ties commission to inspect the road bed of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company have fin ished their work and have made their report ito Engineer c. c. EIwell, un- der whose orders they have been working. Their report is that the roadbed is in very good condition and it is said that Engineer EaweI will so report to the utilities commission within day or two.
 The inspectors went over, on foot, every yard of track between New Ha- ven and the New York State line. They inspected ties. track. spikes, crossovers, switches and everything g else pertaining to the physical con structfon of the road
 Some defects have been found under this minute inspection but they have been comparatively few. The reports of the inspectors were on the whole that the roadbed was absofut ely safe for travel and that the defects found were of a nature to be emedied be- cause they were not up to the stand ard of the rest of the road.
 Today Engineer E1wen will go over those portions of the road where de- fects were found and will personally inspect these defects in order that he may report by actual observation up on them.

MSS CORCORAN
 NOT TO YIELD
SHE AND HER FOLLOWERS WON'T ATTEND SPECIAL CONVENTION
 CALLED BY MRS. POTH.
MAY APPEAL TO COURTS
Fight Over Headship of Companions of Forest May Be Settled In
 That Way.

New Haven, Dec. 16-At a meeting yesterday afternoon in G. A. R. hall, called by Miss Annie B. Corcoran, suspended supreme chief companion of the Companions of the Forest of Am erica, it was decided not to rec ognize the call for a special conven- ton, to be held in the Paibst coliseum, New York city, January 13, sent out by Mrs. Poth. The meeting was at tended by the State advisory board, which is a local body, and followers of Miss Corcoran. Miss Corcoran takes the stand that, inasnlt1ch as she de- posed Mrs Poth some months ago, the latter has no legal right to call a special convention. As a result of the decision vest erday, no delegate of Miss Corcoran will go to the conven- tion. Circulars counteracting the call of the supreme executive council, signed by Miss Corcoran, will be sent
 with the idea that she is still the ultimate authority in the order. Miss Corcoran has appointed women to take the place of those already in the supreme offices, notably that of Mrs. Susie Prince to succeed Mrs. Poth.
 t'Mrs. Poth.'' said Miss Corcoran pie minded members of the order. She has tried to ride Tough-shod over me, and because she could not sWerve me from my allegiance to the order. which
 
 world, she has attempted to get me out of the way. She is in desperate condition now. She has taken daring steps before, but never has her act been equa1led in deposing from her high office the supreme head of the order in the United States"
 Tn the event of her case being de- feated in the special convention, Miss Corcoran and her followers will carry the matter to the courts, but whether she will secede or not she would not say last night. When we get to bl1at bridge we will cross it, she said. That Miss Corcoran is determined to bring the matter to the highest court in the land if need be, to determine her status as head, is pretty certain now, according to her friends. and rival order if defeated is suggested. That being the case, the chief body would have two seeding arms. The Lady Foresters is small offshoot of the parent body. formed some time ago.

ARsENE PUJO, 51, IS THE SWORN
 FOE OF THE MONEY DEVIL

If you want to see a Money Devil vince with pain, and turn pale around the giIls, and stamp it's cIoven hoofs in rage and lash its forked tail in impotent anger, follow these direc- tions: First, find a Money Devil: sec ond, hiss into its ear this one fatefuI word:
 PujoI
 Just like that. I promise you will witness all the phenomena described and more It Arsene Paulin Pujo, congressman from the Seventh district of Louisiana, who introduced the Pujo resolution directing the mittee to investigate the money trust alias the Money Devil De- spite internal iSsensicnS, the commit tee has already accomplished much toward showing up the hateful Money Devil, and MT. Pu5o, as chairman, has been the leader in the investigations.
 It follows that MT. PujO is not popu- lar with the malefactors of great wealth, and they will not be among those to celebrate the Louisiana law makers hfty-hrst birthday His voluntary retirement at the expir ation of his fifth term in the House next March will probably be the signal for a great sigh of relief from all the big and little Money Devils
 Arsene Paulin Pujo was born in 1ylther, Paul Pujo, was a native of Tarbes, France, and his mothed was Mile. Eloise LeBleu- The future prober of the money trust was educat- ed in the schools Of Lake Charles, the city which he still calls home At twenty-four he was admitted to the Louisiana bar. and practiced law at Lake Charles His first inporta mt public service was member of the judiciary committee of the

The incorporation of the stock ex- change should certainly follow the disclosures that have been made be- fore the Pujo committee. If the in corporation is by the Federal govern ment, so much the better.
 The government may then compel accounts to be kept and enforce a system of regulation that will keep the transactions of the exchange with in legitimate bounds. Trading in shorts-which means sell ing what you haven't got-is a prac- tice that must be stopped. It is from this part of the system that many of the evils of stock exchange gambling flow.
 It is proper enough that there should be place where traders in securi- ties may meet to sell and exchange what they own.
 But it is not proper that the busd- ness of the country should be subject to the perils of an institution by which business credit may be inn paired at any moment to get profits for big and dangerous gamblers
 The ten per cent of stock transac- tions that are legitimate buying and selling are unobjectionable.
 The ninety per cent. of stock trans actions, which witnesses have testi- fled as constituting the bulk of stock exchange business, have no good pur- pose except to furnish commissions for brokers strip lambs of their prop erty, and injure honest business of every kind

THE LATEST WRECK

Railroad wrecks flow from three great causes. and some minor ones. Railroad employees fail to obey or ders.
 Defects in equipment are a source of numerous wrecks.
 Defects in road bed take almost equal rank with the first named gen era1 causes
 In the second class of causes are included defective wheels defective axIes or journals, and defective brake apparatus
 In the third class are broken rails, spread rails, soft track, rotten ties The recent wrecks on the New Ha- ven between New Milford and West port have been due to one or another of the causes above named. or some times to combination of these causes. The wreck of the Federal Express and the wreck of the Springfield Ex- press were compounded of the dis obedience of employees and the failure to have modern safety appliances. But the Merchants Express and within a few hours of each other, come separately under the classifica- ton of wrecks caused by defective equipment and wrecks caused by de- fective road led
 The fall of an equalizer bar was
  wreck of the Merchants Express.
 A defective switch, in the neighbor hood of which were poor ties and loose spikes, was the cause of the wreck of the Portland Express.
 The most remarkable wreck of any that have occurred, from some stand points, was that of the freight, Satur- day. at Westport-
 4 brake beam gave way in South Norwalk. The car to which the beam was attached. gave way at this point and was dragged three miles to the westport drawbridge. where two more ears were derailed.
 This wreck apparently falls under
 
 the evil consequences were acceIerat- ed by the failure of the train crew to perceive earlier what had happened. It Is fortunate that no lives were lost In this wreck all of the eIe- ments were present for a disister That none occurred must be attribut- ed to good luck, rather than good management.
 Each of these happenings does Berve to strengthen the opinion that something is constitutional1y at fault In the mana cement of the New Haven system.
 One wreck may be accounted for. So may two wrecks. But when wrecks, and near-wrecks repeatedly occur. from causes covering the en-, tire range of railroad catastrophs, the result must be assumed to be due Do some general condition.
 If the public utilities commission, which has much power. will honestly seek the causes that underlie these Happenings and will honestly seek to provide a remedy, much may be done.

There has been a decided reduction in the level of prices for securities The immense liquidation of the last two weeks must have greatly relieved banks It would be interesting to see how the short interest in stocks would meet any test of aggressive bull buy ing, even for a turn. It is gratifying to note that at the lower quotations investment orders are appearing for the first time in a long while.
