Gould Resigns as Chairman of Board
of Directors.

New York. Jan. 4.-B. F. Bush,
president of the Missouri Pacific, today
was elected president of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad, and a member of
the later company directorate. Geo. j.
Gould resigned as chairman of the
board and e. T. Jeffrey, former presi-
dent of the company, was elected to
succeed him.
According to a statement made by
Mr.. Gould after the meeting, Mr.. JEFF
ferry, although resigning the actual
management, will continue in charge
of its financial affairs. Mr.. Gould as
serts that the change long has been
considered by Mr.. Jeffrey and himself,
but was postponed from time to time
to afford Mr.. Bush an opportunity to
become conversant with the Missouri
Pacific situation before assuming ad-
ditional duties.
One of the principal reasons for the
new arrangement, the statement con-
tinues, is to take another step toward
bringing all the properties belonging to
the Missouri Pacific family under sin

officials located at traffic centers on

Fleming, who was a devoted church
worker. Fleming became jealous of
his wife and secured a divorce from
her. A few days later Mrs Snyder
heard of her husbands new affinity and
applied for a divorce. None of the real
issues in the case were brought out In
the hearings and the defendants in the
two actions filed waivers of appear
ance.
The six months limit for marriage
after divorce, expired in the two cases,
a short time ago.

Restraints N0ISE
ENAcTs LAW TO PREVENT MO-
florists FROM MAKING NUS
ANcEs OF WARNING SIGNALS.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. A.
A new city ordinance regulating the
use of automobile signals goes into
effect to-day.
This is the result of efforts of the
Automobile Club of Southern Califor-
MIA and the Police Department here
to reduce the automobile accident
record and at the same time suhdue
the Objectionable noise element
among motorists.
The new measure contains several
unique provisions. 1t demands the
use of a truly adequate warning sig
nal and defines such as one prcduc
ing an abrupt note, sufficiently loud
to be heard under all traffic condi
|tions; but restricts it's use to times
when it is actually necessary SIS g
warning of danger.
Preliminary to the enactment Of
the ordinance a test of auto horns
was conducted by the traffic police
The results showed that the horr
Operated by means of a rubber hull
was inadequate to the demands O

FOURTH SUICIDE
in THREE DAYS
STANDING BEFORE A MIRROR,
SHOOTS HIMSELF THROUGH
HEART AT LOUISVILLE.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 5.-Harry
Pulliam, 80, killed himself today be-
cause he could not take care of his
family. He shot himself through the
heart while standing before mirror
that he might better direct his aim.
He took his life at the rooming house
of Mrs. Jessie Briggs, where he en-
gagged room yesterday. Pulliam
had been employed as electrician at
the brewery for many years. Recent
ly he sustained injuries which, made
him unfit for physical labor. Daily
he had grown more respondent. His
suicide marks the fourth in three
days in Louisville.

MEMPHIS PHONE
RATE REDUCTION
THE FIGHT FOR 1T is JUST BE-
GUN, SAYS MAYOR
cRUMP.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Dec. 5.-The
tight to 1secufe lower telephone rates
has just begun, says Mayor Crump
and other city officials. 1t is ander-
stood that an effort will be made at
once to try the city's case for the re-
duced rates on it's merits. Following
this the legislature will be askel to
grant the city of Memphis the low
er to regulate the phone rates as set
down in the decision just rendered
at Cincinnati by the United States
circuit court of appeals.
Further says the Mayor: "Fhe
promises of reduced rates and i'm
proved service by the Cumberland
are not taken seriously and the de-
cision of the federal court in favor
of the company has not in the least
altered the determination to- secure
rates which will benefit the small
consumer, as well as the large one. :
THE promise of a slight reduction
in rates on business phones is 10th
ing more nor less than sop, thrown
out with the hope of appeasing pub
lie sentiment against the telephone
trust. No reduction whatever lie
promised to the users of residence
phones, who are the very ones who
most need it,"

IMMENSE CROWD
THRONGS STREETS
COLUMBIA MERCHANTS HAVE A
GOOD DAY AZ RESULT or
EAGER SHOPPERS.

One of the largest crowds seen in
Columbia i'll a long time is seenshere
today, The crowd is larger even
than that Of four weeks ago, which
was the day before the election,
time when there is always large
crowd in the city.
The crowd here today is out strict
ly for business. The people are trad.
ing and buying. There are a large
number of ladies from the country
shopping and all of the merchants re-
port good business. The crowd is
so large that some of the livery sta
BILE are overrun and have had to turn
away the horses that were tender
ed them. "Just touch of Wilson
Hooper prosperity" said a passerby
when one of the leading liverymen
announced that It would simply be
impossible for him to take care of
any more stock today.
