JOYOUS XMAS FOR
MOTHER OF LEST
Young Drug Clerk Whose Mis-
take Cost Woman's Death
Pardoned.

seven or eight hours later. Leist was
arrested. and after he had confessed
that he had made a mistake in COM
pounding the prescription he was al
lowed to plead non vult to man
slaughter. He was sentenced to Rah-
way on June "a last.
In order to release him so he could
spend Christmas at home. it was nee
cssary for the pardon board to give
him a full pardon, as a parole would
not become operative until he had
spent thirteen months at the reforma-
tory.
In the investigation of the case it
developed that young Leist had also
to attend to the soda water fountain,
in addition TO his other duties in the
drug store. He was very busy at the
soda fountain at the time he made the
mistake in filing the prescription.
'.And my boy will be home today
slowly said Mrs. Leist, as the reporter
started to leave. Thank God and
God bless you and the Evening Star
for this good news and as the re-
porter started down the snow-eovered
street she was standing at the win
dow anxiously watching for the home
coming son.

SETS MAY e FOR FINAL
MOTORDROME HEARING
Vice-ChancelIor Grants Post
ponement in Case.

Final hearing in the proceedings
brought by Alderman Maurice II.
Welsh to close the Motordrome was
today set down for May 6 by Vice
Chancellor Stevens. 1t was originally
set for December &c, but inasmuch as
the Eastern Motor Racing Associa-
ton. which formerly controlled the
track, has sold out it's interest, the
postponement was made.
Michael Tansey appeared for the
petitioner and applied for the post
ponement. The court conceded with
his views and declared that if the
new owners attempted to open up Mr..
Tansey, on behalf of his client. would
be allowed an opportunity to file n
supplementary bill. If any attempt is
made to reopen the track the proceed
tngs will be reopened Immediately.
The track property was sold sew
eral months ago by the sheriff to
satisfy judgments obtained by the
contractors who erected it. 1t was
bought by a William Gerth. who, it
Is now declared, is merely a figure
head.

ASK RECEIVERS
TWO CEMETERIES
Linden and Rosedale Companies
Alleged to Be Unable to
Fulfill Contracts.

On the ground hat both the Linden
and Rosedale Cemtery companies are
heavily involved and will collapse
under the strain, application was
made today before Vice-Chancellor
Howell for the appointment of re-
ceivers.
Osborne & Cornish, as counsel for
several lot-oWners, secured a rule to
show cause why the application
should not be granted, which is re-
turnable next Tuesday morning.
In the bill filed it is claimed by the
petitioners that the organizers of both
cemetery companies have "bled' both
to such an extent that they are UNI
able to CARRY out agreements made
with purchasers of lots. The agree
ment between both cemetery COM
panies and owners of land sets forth
that the owners shall have their lands
looked after for all time, free of
charge. 1t is now claimed by the
petitioners that they are Unable to
carry out this agreement.
The action is filed by William Bliss,
of Railway, sand Walter p. Vining,
RODp1I M. 0IdlCl oti0 OtiA
all of New York.
On November %. 1910, Mr.. Bliss
purchased a lot in the Linden Gene
terry. for which he paid 1855, with the
agreement that the lot was to be
kept in good shape without n adj
ditional cost to he purchaser. Mr..
bliss now claims that the income OF
the company is insufficient to carry
out this agreement.
The bill sets forth that the liabili'
ties of the Linden Company are $780,
600, while she assets, exclusive of real
estate. are but S2O.S21.56, which
amount includes SIS, 265.60 due from
the Rosedale Company.
1t is further set forth that a por.
ton of the original property of h
has been sold to the town
of Linden for unpaid taxes of 1911.
The same sort of a bill is filed
against the Rosedale Cemetery Com
ngnN.

success of the club seemed anything
but assured. Pathetic little appeals
to Santa Claus were rising mountain
high on the Empty Stocking editors
desk, but the answers were few and
far between. Convinced that the
generosity of it's Teaders would sooner
or later be demonstrated, the Eve
ming Star continued to- print it's re-
quests for help, and 700 or more
youngsters in this city. and the sub
urbs will be ready to bear testimony
that efforts to make their Christmas
happy were not in vain.
Slowly but regularly Santa Claus's
aides appeared. They came from all
walks Of life. Rich and poor alike
were united in a desire to take all
possibility of gloom away from the
Christmas of the poor children of
Newark. Church clubs. Sunday school
classes and social organizations Of
fered to help fill empty stockings on
a big scale. Persons who had them
selves investigated the appeals that
We're sent to them, and had received
proof of the vast numbers of suffer-
ing families and hungry, poorly
clothed children, who were in the
city, urged their friends to take up
the work with them. So it went.
Many Knew Suffering Themselves.
The majority of persons who Joined
the Empty Stocking Club were those
who had knwn suffering themselves.
Many who came to this office ad-
mitted that filling empty little stock
lngs entailed sacrifice on their part.
But they saw the amount of good it
was in their hands to do, and per
formed their self-imposed task quite
as cheerfully as those to whom the
nlhng of a dozen stockings or the
supplying of as many Christmas din
ners meant a personal loss that was
negligible.
During the past few days the Eve
ming Star office has been literally
sWalnped with persons who wanted
to help the Empty Stocking Club
along with the gifts they brought or
sent. So many persons desired to
help and were unable to attend to the
delivery of the Christmas packages
themselves that almost the entire
r~eportorial staff of the Evening Star
had to be pressed into Service as
Santa Claus messengers after office
hours.

DILLON AxWoRTHY WINS
 HORSE REVIEW FUTURlTY.
Sets New Record of 211 IA For Two Year olds-Evslyn w. Takes Free For All Pace.

Columbus, Sept 27-Dillon Axwor- thy, owned by A. B. Coxe, of Paoli, Penn, today showed racing superiority over eleven other trotters that came on the Columbus track for the Horse Re- view Futurity two yoear old division. He did not win in straight heats, the first being taken by Lord Allen. Dur ing the scoring of the second mile the Axworthy colt several times would not strike a trot but he was going good when the word did come through four lengths back of the leaders. He made up the lost ground and won rather handily from Lord Allen in 2.11 IA, new mark for him and a seasons rec odr for the trotters of the age.
 There was a brilliant race through the last quarter of the third heat The full mile was in the slowest time of the three, but the final quarter was stepped in 30 1-2 seconds with Lord Allen close up to the winner all ~the way.
 Evelyn W. took the free for all pace the time average being poor. She lost the first heat to Independence Boy, but beat him in the next three. In parts of these there was fast sprinting. The last quarter of the second heat was paced in 29 1-2 seconds and the same quarter of the third heat in 29 fiat
 ne last half of the third heat was in 59 3-4 seconds Earl, Jr., the second choice was distanced in the first heat.
 Helen Stiles, favorite, won the POT trot after the first two heats had gone to Todd Mack, which was the only horse not to make break in one or both of them. The first choice was steady from the third heat on. Babe. g half mile track pacer, was three times in from of Sara Ann Patch in the 2.07 pace. The original favorite was Walter Cochrato.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
A STRONG UNDERToNE.
Movement Narrow, However, and Out
 put Comparatively Small.

New York. Sept. 27.-Regardless of the monetary situation, which was sufficiently tense to cause local banks to call more loans, today's stock mar ket manifested strong undertone The movement at times was narrow and irregular and the total output smaller than for several days. Money on call opened at @ fraction under yesterdays initial rate, but soon rose to 6 per cent, at which figure the bulk of the days loans were negotiated.
 The rate eased in the afternoon when the stock market recorded Its low prices under lead of United States Steel, which scored its highest quota tion of the year on exceptionally large offerings. Other standard shares also were in demand. but most of them failed by a slight margin to equal re- cent high levels.
 The further rise in Steel and allied issues was generally attributed to trade conditions, which showed in creased activity at all leading centers of that industry. Demand for pig iron is reported to be so large that addi tional capacity is required at Pitts burg. Contracts for various sorts of finished products are already being taken for the coming year. Similar conditions prevail in the copper trade, the domestic inquiry for the current month having been the largest, ac- cording to authorities, in more than three years.
 Among the strong and active rail- way stocks were Canadian Pacific and it's ally, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie, New York Central, Reading and Illinois Central, with such minor issues as Missouri Pacific, Toledo, St. Louis and Western, com mon and preferred, and Western Mary land. In the final hour Rock Island and the Gould group also became ac- tive at smart advances.
 An unexpected inflow of money from the interior promises to reduce the cash loss of the local banks to a nom inal figure.
 Bonds were steady, with special strength in Wabash Pittsburg Terrni- nal issues. Total sales, par value, s2,60o,ooo.
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-Washington and Philadelphia, in battling for sec ond place broke the major league rec ord for this season when they played 19 innings here this afternoon, the for mer winning, to 4. Two games were to have been played. but the contest lasted trif1e more than four hours and could not have proceeded further on account of the gathering darkness. The visitors scored four runs in the first two innings on five hits, two bat tery and fielding errors and a fielder's choice. After that Plank held them to no runs and six hits for IS successive innings. In the 18th Williams received base on balls and Johnson beat out a bunt Williams was forced at third on Moeller's grounder. Foster forced Moeller at second. Barry to Collins.

 Groom pitched the first nine innings for Washington. Twice with the bases filled scoring was prevented by double plays, and in the seventh with the bases filled and one out the home team scored on an out Four hits and an error in the ninth enabled Philadel- phia to tie the scors. Johnson, who took Groom's place in the 10th inning, was also hit harder than Plank. but brilliant fielding, especially by Foster and Mcbride, prevented scoring.
 Plank, veteran of 12 seasons, out twirled both of his younger or~onents, the majority of Washington's runs be- ing due to battery and fielding mis- plays.

 'The Giants are not playing good ball now and they haven't been up to their best standard since July 1. But when they tackle the Red Sox I be- lieve they will take mighty brace.
