CLEVER THIEF STOLE
 MANY TYPEWRITERS

Paris. January 6.-(Special) )-Appar- ently the way is made very easy for thieves in French public offices and other buildings under the charge Of the French government. There was the case of the Louvre, where a suc- cession of thefts eliminated in that of the Joconde. And oH Saturday young man named Maurice Migeon, only IS years old, was charged with. and con- fessed to. series of thefts from all the ministries in Paris.
 His speciality was typewriters. He had shopful of second hand machines, which he could afford to sell very cheaply because of the simplicity and ease with which he got them. He made point of going out and stealing one typewriter every day. He got them from the ministries and the public off ces. His method was ridiculously sim pie. He dressed himself like a shop messenger, went to the concierge of the ministry and said, I've come for the typewriter which needs repair"
 In a ministry or big office there is always at least one typewriter which needs something done to it. The con- cierge told him where to go, and he went up and took the machine away.

A Jolly Death

Geneva, January 6.-(SpeclaL)-The Es- calade festival. which has just taken place in Geneva, was marked by grim error. Every night the streets were
 crowded with merrymakers in all sorts of fancy costumes. During the height or the festivities, M Frederick Stern, aged s2, fell dead in the street. The masquer- aders in his vicinity thought he was hav- ing a game at their expense. They cheered him, and perrots, pierrettes and others joined hands and danced around him. As Sterne did not move one of the gay party made an examination and found that he was dead. Several pier rots then carried the body to the nearest

Wall street has been talking a gerat deal of politics this week. The announce- ment by MT. Taft that he would not per init himself to be aide-tracked or run over and that he would be in the presidential race to the end ought to have been con. soling, but It's soothing effect was more than offset by fears that the Big Game Hunter would do lot of rough housing and promote agitation generally. Wal street has about made up it's mind that MT. Taft win be able to force his own rcbomination. The question is as to the expense of party strength this triumph can be nained. The wish expressed by Banker Forgan of Chicago that the two rarties might nominate Taft and uar- mon finds cordial indorsement in the New York financial district In such an event the business community could be reconciled to whatever the result might he. being assured that in either case fhe business world would have nothing to fear from White House anarchy.
 In connection with politics it is timely to mention a curious rumor which is floating about very quietly and only in inner circles. It is to the effect that friends of Governor Woodrow Wilson are preparing mattress for him to fall upon in the now concededly very probable event of his failure to secure the demo- cratic nomination for President-an event very nkcly to De IOllOWed by failure to be reelected governor of New Jersey. The mattress plan. according to the re- port mentioned. is his election to the presidency of the Prudential Insurance company. job that carries with it s5f 00o a year salary. If Is not stated that Mr Wilson himself has been consulted in this matter. but it Is we'll known that ir- fluential friends have the matter under consideration and that controlling in- terests Tn the great insurance company take kindly to the idea. The late MT. Dryden was an admirer of Governor Wilson and personal friend. His estate controls the company The Prudential Is distinctly a New, Jersey proposition and there is a patriotic desire on the part of its control to keep it sv. Governor Will son is today the leading ctizc, of inc state and the theory is that he would lend dignity 10 the position, even though he should take the job as sort of con- solution prize

Railroads as rule are having a hard and pinching time of 1t to make both ends meet. Many of them are obliged to cut heavily into maintenance expenses
 in order to keep up dividends. This pol icy can pc pursued by majority of the going roads for a year or even longer without serious impairment to property but pursued for longer period 1t means run down rolling stock, unsatisfactory carriage of freight and increased danger to passengers. New York Central is mak- ing a very deep cut into maintenance The average of eastern trunk lines spend B per cent to 3l per cent of gross earn ings in keeping up their plant New York Central has reduced expenditures for that account down to 25 per cent, as shown by the reports filed with the inter- state commerce commission for the first five months of the current fiscal year. New Haven has cut it's outlay for main terance down s to 23 per cent. Pennsyl- vana. Baltimore and Ohio and Erie are the three roads which are conspicuous for having put back into property the full normal percentage. They have cut down in cost of operation but not at the ex- pcnse of property. West of the Mlssis- sppi all the roads excepting Missouri Pacific and Burlington are making heavy hroads on the amounts which would or dinarily go back into maintenance and equipment The Hill group have made an awful slash. Northern. Pacific only spending at the rate of 25. per cent and Great Northern p per cent. Union Pa cific is down to 201a per cent and St Paul with better showing is 2Sh per cent.

A desire tc avoid spotlight performance under the stage management of Congress investiga ting committees may have been enc of the reasons for MT. Morgan's secrecy, but that is not the real cause of his trip. Neither is he going abroad al together for pleasure. He usually combines business with his foreign smusemcnts. This time it is held by Wall street bankers that his chief object on this trip is to put through some heavy financing for the New York Central and New Haven systems. He is personally heavily interested in both of these rail- road companies and 1t is understood will enlist the active cooperation of London. Paris and Berlin bankers in a plan to provide new capital required. No definite statement has been made as to the amount which will be needed. but various estimates place the total requirements for the year at between s200,O0O,000 and $3O0. 100000. Both of these vast transportation enterprises are being carried on, with un- comfortably thin margins for operations. They are confronted with the absolute necessity of borrowing more money to spend on property and facilities New York Central has schemed to raise it's new capital under cover of a grand con solidation of Vanderbilt properties New Haven is siashing around in an aimless sort of Il way and SO far as the public can see is getting nowhere excepting more deeply in debt

BY ". c. NICHOLAS

New York. January 6.-(Special )-The stock market has settled down very cuickly after a bright and sunshiny start following The birth of the new year. Con siderable money is going into new invest mcnls. lut en Q very quiet scale and with no pretense or desire to mark up prices. Real buyers of real securities who take hold for income returns try to get the goods as chaaply as possible. It is the speculatofs who make a boot and hur- rah every time there is sny good buying going on. that, in order that they may make a market upon which to unload. Tine sitataion this week has undergone no particular change excepting that there is c manifest toning down In publicity efforts to talk mp values. There is also acknowledgment that industrial eondl- ticns are TOT quite up to expectations ani predictions so freely indulged in during the last month of the old year. The conspicuous feature of the moment is a tendency to let prices down by withdraw
 ing artificial support from the speeiatias and desisiing from open manipulation. Several of the most important figures in the financial and industrial world have gone on their winter vacations or prepar- ing to do so. Mir. Morgan led tho process sion by t somewhat nasty and entirely unannounced sailing for the old world. and others are going on every steamer ,or taking trains for Florida and California. Indications point to a quie, winter in the stock market.

One of the greatest natural wonders in the world Is the falls of Kaieteur, in British Guiana. The valley through which the river flows, below the falls, is quite impossible. and probably no one has ever reached the bottom of the fall The fall Is I41 feet high, more than four times the height of Niagara, more than three times the height of Bunker Hin monument, 200 feet high. CT than the Washington monument and 800 feet higher than St Peters dome X smooth but rapid river, nearly 400 feet wide, flows quietly to the brink and turns quietly downward.
