Wall ST., New York, Aug. 1O-STOCKS-
Canadian Pacific and ars-Roebuck were
the features of strong and active open
ing of today's stock market, each gaining
approximately 2 points. The Southern
Railway shares again were prominent for
their strength and a majority of the ac-
tive issues advanced fractionally.
Shares of the Southern roads continued
the feature Changers and Hill and Har-
riman issues, as wei as Coalers shared to
a lesser degree in the advance. Norfolk
and Western made a new high price and
New York Central rose a point. Steel and
CopperS were comparatively heavy.
Market closed strong. The rise in stocks,
which came after the publication yester-
day of the favorable crop report, was ia
ken up again today and embraced most
railroad issues of Importance.
Reading went to it's best price of this
movement, Norfolk and Western scored
a record price and New York Central and
New Haven made good advances. Lead
ing induStrialS, Steel and CopperS were
under pressure at times but some of the
specialties made substantial gains.
Profit taking checked activity in the
final hour and in a measure the rise.

WEDDING is HALTED.
Bride Is Arrested on a
Charge of Theft.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Johanna Schaerf
was to have been married in two weeks
Then she was to make her home in CAL
ifCrnia. But her plans have been
broken. Her romance may be shattered
Miss Shaerf, who is 20 years old, was
brought before Judge Williams charged
by her employer with stealing several
hundred dollars worth of stamps. The
charge was made on the strength of an
alleged confession. Miss Schaerf admits
she made a confession. But she says
she was forced by the sweat box
methods of her employers to confess to
a crime she never committed
Saves Money for Trousseau.
Miss Schaerf was clerk in the en-
ploy of the Mccall company, 112
South Fifth avenue, pattern makers.
She handled the mail. She had work
ed for the concern faithfully for six
years. Recently as a token of ap-
probation for her good work and long
service, her salary was raised from IS
to 81 week, according to the story
OF the girl. She began to save for her
trousSeau.
Then came the charge of crooked
ness 1t was made by Frank A. Brod-
er1ck, manager of the company. She
says she was called downtown while
at home on her vacation and taken
into a private office of the company.
She asked that her father or sister
might accompany her, she asserts. 1t
was refused.
When she got to the office four
men followed her into the room On
flat desk in the center of the room
lay revolver, she says. Then came
her grilling. Her story was told in
court yesterday by her attorney. John
A. Mahoney.
Tells of 'Forced Confession
Miss Schaerf was taken into a pri-
vate room,'' he said, land was forced
to make confession that she had stol-
en- $500 worth of stamps The reyol-
Yer lay on the table near four men
who questioned her. They told her
that unless she made the confession
she would be sent to the penitentiary.
Then she confessed when she was too
frightened to know what she was do
ing.
After that the men took her sis
how much money she had. She had
IS in her pocket. They took that with
out giving her a receipt, leaving the
impression with her that the SIS set
tied the affair."
According to her attorney the trou-
BILE was caused by her exchanging un-
Cancelled stamps in incoming mail for
stamps of the company. She used the
uncanceled stamps in mailing articles
for her employers.
'She is not guilty of theft'' said At
the stamps she took in exchange from
the company did not amount to more
than SIS or SO"
The case was continued until Au-
gust Is. Then the girl will tell her
own story in court. She says she does
not know what her sweetheart in Cal
ifornia will do when he hears she has

Edison Company Plans install.
IatiOn of Line.
It VIII Be Miniature Railroad
on COmpany's Property.

Many Other Improvements Are
Now Contemplated.
Interesting Information About
Edison 25O-FOOt Stack.

The Topeka Edison company is con-
templating installing a miniature rail-
way system on their Jackson street
property some time next season rms
will be done in order to tacihate the
handling of the 10000 tons of coal that
it will require to run the plant for a
year.
A switch will be built on the pro-
perty this year SO that coal may pc
brought direct from the Santa re
tracks. However, the coal will have
to be offloaded into wagons and taken
around to the bunkers of the plant.
1t is proposed to install a narrow
gauge system running from the switch
to the vicinity of the bunkers- The
equipment will include an electric en-
CINE and a number of small trucks. A
device for offIoading the coal from the
large cars into the small cars of the
miniature line.
Various improvements.
The size of the bunkers is being in
creased, so that it will be possible to
carry 100 tons of coal above the boil
ers. The coal runs into the fire.
boxes through spout when gate
is opened. The ashes are dumped down
through a chute into an underground
tunnel. Then they go into a conveyor
and are carried to an overhead bunker
From there through a chute they are
dropped into wagons and carted away.
The coal is conveyed to the bunkers
over the boilers in about the same
manner. Next year the management
proposes to purchase a coal crusher
which will be installed underneath the
alley. The lump coal will be crushed
before it goes into the conveyor. The
crusher will have a. capacity of % tons
per hour.
Stack Near Completion.
The big Edison reinforced stack
has now reached the 240 feet point,
and will be completed the last of next
week according to present indications.
The last lap in construction will take
some time to complete as there will be
ornamental features. The huge
chimney will be fitted with equip
ment to guard against damage by cleo
tricity.
There will be a cable circle around
the top of the stack. Attached to this
will project six points several feet in
height to catch the lightning bolts.
Then there will be two large copper
ca bles running to the ground.
When the work at the top pinnacle of
the draft-producer is completed the work
men will slowly lower the scaffoldinS and
in the process will paint the stack with
a thin solution of lime and cement which
will give a finished appearance
Talk of Huge Sign.
The management is considering having
a local sign company ornament 90 the
stack by putting on in big six-foot letters
the words, Use Electricity"
1t is interesting TO note that the base
of the stack which is 27 feet square and
six feet thick, weighs 100000 pounds, ana
the stack above the base will weigh 100000
Twelve hundred and fifty barrels of ce-
ment will have been used in the construc-
tfon of the big chimney. The stack is
twenty-four feet wide at the base, and 1853
feet at the top.

1t was hoped that the war depart
ment would order aeroplanes sent to
Fort Leavenworth to be used during
the maneuvers and a big hangar was
erected for the purpose, but as yet
the machines have not been sent. The
signal corps companies are supplied
with the latest in wireless telegraph
and wig-wagging apparatus, and these
will be used to a great extent during
the maneuvers-

than are the mules. AS the cam

Campaign Plans Secret.
The detailed plan of the Campaign

one army will concentrate at Merriam
and the other near Lawrence Only
know the line of march of his troops.
Army officers have been working on
the maneuver plans for months. If
the operations of the troops were given
out in advance the period would prove
of little instruction to the officers and
men.
1t is believed that the fighting
will come nearer to Leavenworth
each day, as it Is known that the
two armies will meet near the Sol
diers' home August 81. 1t will be a
sight we'll worth seeing. The six thou

which will be as near like actual war
fare as possible under the conditions
The troops will be supplied with
thousands of rounds of blank ammu-
milton, which is to be used when the
two armies meet. Men will be KILLED"

Women Aviators scored.

Miss Blanch Stuart Scott, an avia-
tor, was scolded by Mayor Fitzgerald
in city hall until she almost cried.
Miss Scott had only been in the
mayors office a few minutes when he
launched full into a vigorous denun-
citation of women as aviators.
Aviation the mayor told her 'is
too dangerous for women. Flying is
something which only daredevil men
should undertake. Women are not
fitted for it, temperamentally or
physically"
What would you suggest?" asked
Miss Scott, her voice showing signs
of emotion.
1T seems to me-" answered the
mayor, that settlement work. the
legal and medical professions, and
others which tend to help humanity
as whole, or some other field that
offers real and lasting benefits to
mankind and womankfnd should en-
gage their attention."-Boston dis
