OVER sl,OOO,00O FOR
 WALL STREET XMAS
Bonuses Given to Employees of New
 York Financial Firms.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1


 NEW YORK, Dec 27.-A tidy little fortune in Christmas gifts was placed in Wall streets Christmas stockings. It is estimated that about s1,00O, 900 was paid out this year in Christmas presents to the army of salaried em- ployes in the financial district The distribution has been going on for a week but in the majority of cases the payment of bonuses was made on the day before Christmas.
 The year now ending, although a fairly prosperous one for bankers has been a lean one for stock brok- CTS, on account of the dullness in speculation. For this reason the Christmas total was smaller than in some former years in which trading in stocks were heavy.
 In some houses in "the street" fixed amounts in gold are given to clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers and mes sengers and in others of the employees receive a percentage of their yearly salaries. One of the large trust com panies presented to each employe. from the president down, 50 per cent of his salary for the year.
 Employees of J. P Morgan & Com pany will not receive their bonuses until just before the close of the year. There is a growing tendency in the financial district to substitute salary 1 increases at the first of the year for | Christmas bonuses on the ground that ndiscriminate distribution of lump sums places no premium on merit. A number of large Wall street institu- tions also have inaugurated the pension | system for superannuated employees in | place of Christmas gifts.
 | Charity leaders predicted it was also going to be "big Christmas" if. in I addition to their own efforts to relieve
 want and to dispense cheer the num- | erous special Christmas surprises were 1 taken into account
 For weeks past a number of news papers have been printing lists of the
 so-called most needy persons among New York's millions. Detailed stories were given of their circumstances and wants ana subscription lists have

HAYDEN NOW HAS
 ODOFElLOWS LODGE
Grand Officers Institute Gila Valley
 Lodge, No. 29, l. o. o. F.

Another important epoch in the his 1 tory ttf this district was marked by l the organization; on the night of the 21st. of Gila Valley lodge, No. 29 l. | O. O. F., by Grand Master R. A. | Langmoor and Grand Secretary Geo. | A. Mintz of Phoenix lodge No 2. | who were ably assisted by Past Grand Masters F. P Trott and H. P.
 Reynolds of that lodge The degree team of the Phoenix lodge was on | hand in the persons of Chaplain | Kidd, Messrs Elwell, Oliver. Stall
 maker. Bogart. Dr. Brown, M T. l Brown, Galbreath, Tait and Furman, and they saw to it that all of the 32 new members who were initiated in | to tic mysteries of the order got all | that was theirs. F. Kennedy Poe. I who brings joy to many hearts about twice every month in his capacity of paymaster for the Ray Cons, was one of these 32. and it has leaked out that his amiable disposition got for him an exceptionally hard grilling, but that he acquitted himself most creditably. taking it all like a little
 man and is really the "oddest fel- low Of the bunch.
 Officers of the local lodge are: L. Zimmerman, noble grand; John Griffin, vice grand; John MacIntyre, secretary; Dr. C. B. Wiley, treasurer, all holding legal Withdraway cards from other lodges. and w A. Smith, chaplain; Charles Orr. R. s. S; James Dunlap, l.. $. S; James Graves, R. & N. G.; H. K Dona- telle. L. s. N. G.; Thomas Coleman, | G.; F. Williams, o. G.; John Orr R. S. V. G., and John Knapp. L. s. V. G. As trustees, Carney, Ivy and Coleman were chosen to serve three, two and one year respectively.
 After few preliminary remarks by the grand master the grand sec retary spoke quite at length, dwell ing upon the benefits that the com munity in general will derive from the perfection of the organization, the good prospects of encouragement and assistance from the heads of the corporations operating here and also in praise of the large gathering of representative young men who were so enthusiastically offering them selves for membership in the order
 The gathering was a large one, there being 25 visitors on hand, in addition to those actively participat
 ing in the ceremonies. These visit
 ors represented lodges from Massa
 chusetts to California. George Gal breath, who accompanied the Phoe
 nix delegation. is a member of the Twilight lodge of California
 Meetings will be held on Wednes
 day Of each week in the old ware house building of the A. S. & R.
 company beginning with the first Wednesday of the new year.
 Opening the lodge here is probably the largest job that the Phoenix de
 gree team has handled for some time. Ceremonies lasted from an early hour in the evening until , o'clock in the morning.

hibit the use of such water in adjoin-

their origin in Idaho, without legisla-

court of this state in the case of AL

none OF the spirit Of the p%lutocrat

Der whose interests We're involved,
and within the rights OF the posi-
non, regardless of whom or what
may be the sacrifice TO duty and
the people SC long as it was a
reasonably evident fact that it was
a good business course to pursue

STUDENTS WANT
DOCTOR JONES
TURNER PUPILS RE-
GRET TO LOSE HIM.
Favor His Election as Editor, Though
Strong for Him to Be Made
Both-SchooI Prospers.

In order that the general public
may understand more thoroughly Just
how the students of Turner Normal
College look upon their President,
who Is now Tennessee's choice for
Editor Of the Southern Christian Re-
corder, we, representatives of the
student body, state these facts: Some
time ago meeting was held among
some Of the students, and a petition
was sent to the president of the Board
OF Trustees, praying that he would
try to arrange matters SO that DR..
Jones could in some way still pre-
side over the school even If he should
be elected to the editorship of the
Southern Christian Recorder.
1t is 6 welN-known fact that this in
stitution has grown and prospered I'M
der his administration as it has never
grown before hand; and the growth
would have been much greater had
there been greater accommodations.
All of the rooms have been well filled
each year. since the boarding depart
ment opened under his administra-
ton five years ago AT present the
rooms are so crowded that no more
students can be admitted, and the
growth Of the schooN will naturally be
retarded until further arrangements
for room can be made.
When we compare the conditions Of
the institution when DR.. Jones be-
came president, with the present con-
ditions. one can readily see the great
work he has done.
We are aware of the fact that he
is abe to give the race the best of
service as editor of paper of this
kind, for it is known throughout the
whole country by the reading class,
that he possesses that talent which is
not found in every educated man.
More than this, he is we'll acquainted
with the conditions of the Negro race
in the South, and Is willing to faith.
fully do his part in making such i'm
provements that are needed most. But
the students feel that change of the
president will mean no good to the in
stitution, and if it could be possible
they would be glad to see DR.. Jones
serve the race in both capacities.
