a hercuiean task in connection with
the TRANSFORMATION and delivery Of
millions of Christmas gifts.
Postmaster General Burleson, who
is responsible for the conduct of this
service has made extraordinary pre-
paratioas to prevent congestion In
Post Offices and to insure delivery
OF these parcels. Several thousand
additional employees will be added to
the force during the holiday season
and the connection and delivery
equipment will be augmented when
ever necessary. Every possible eff
fort has been made to strengthen
those parts of the postal Organization
which will be under the greatest
strain and Mr.. Burleson stated today
that with these special arrangements
he is confident of the ability OF the
service to handle successfully the
avalanche OF parcels that will be
thrown upon it during the rush
period.

PLUNGERS few
in WALL STREET
Days of Big .coups of the
Money Barons Have
Passed.
NONE MAKING MONEY
Conditions Have Changed on Floor of
New York Stock Exchange In
Recent Years.

7 he Twilight of. Wall Street; the
daring and spectacular plunger gon,,
forever, the public apathetic toward
stock speculation, the passing of one
OF the most picturesque elements in
our public life-these are some of the
conclusion drawn from the great
dizziness on the New York exchange,
the failures of brokers to make what
they consider a living, the dry rot.
Certain 1t is that we have no Jay
Gould today-or an e. H. Hartman,
or a Keene, or Gates, or even a
David Lamar. The days of the big
market manipulation have apparently
passed. These men are dead and
there are none to take their places.
If as big things are put over" as in
the old days. they are done now in
secret. with the aid Of much law and
lawyers. through numerous agents
and multitudinous blinds and devices.
1T was not SO In the older days. >"
Way back in the Black Friday era,
Jay Gould or Jim Fiskei /; wouldn't
hesitate at all to appear in the public
share mat and flay the opposing
crowd of either bulls or bears with
the utmost freedom. Everybody knew
what they were about and nobody
thought OF complaining In the sense
Pine Bluff daily graphic. (Pine Bluff, Ark.) 1893-1942, 1913-12-07

of considering their faults as OF a
public character.
Later came the great speculative
eras of Our national life, when a
million share day" was considered
nothing, when doctors and lawyers
and merchants gambled in stocks
from every hamlet, when the little
spectators were myriad and the big
Spectators were fierce, if slightly
more cautious than in the Seventies.
Hartman flinging railroads into
the gambling pit, John w. Gates and
other men Of his type leading specu-
lative campaigns which netted ,nenl
tens of millions, foxy old James r.
Keene, engineering pools-for many
years the American people stood fro
them and simply aughted.
Then the great outcries began.
They've never led to the actual gov
ornamental reformation or obolition Of
the Stock Exchange, but they seem to
have put it almost hors de combat
simply ~ The force of public opinion.
"Nobody's buying!" the brokers
cry.
1--WE never sell anybody from up
town." complain the hungry eyed
ones, meaning that the merchants
who accumulate fortunes no longer
follow the custom of retiring, seat
ing themselves next the, ticker, and
proceeding gradually to turn their
hard earned wealth over to the men
of stocks and bonds y The men
from uptown" are coming to realize
that this is the brokers' game-1ot
theirs.
And the broker is selling his auto
mobile. Hes no longer known as the
wine buyer" He's no longer known
as the patron saint of the chorus
lady. He manages to keep his MEM
bership 81 his clubs and considers
himself pretty lucky if he has fifteen
cents for whiskey and soda once in
While.
1t is related that a prominent
broker came on the floor the day be-
fore election and said to group of
friends:
Boys, we all ought to go up to
the Sixth District and vote, for Bill
Sulzer toncrrow-he's the only man

Perhaps he would call it, folicular
pharyngitis. 1t causes you constant
annoyance. You are always making
slight disturbances when seated in an

still. Stringy mucous bothers you.
Worse in the morning.
:. A-hem! A-hem! A-hem! That is
the way you are going nearly all day.
Sometimes in the night when you
wake up. You ought to garg,e your

Peruna is the treatment. Begin

from upton who's bought anything
from us for two years
There VAS laughter at this. but of
a mirthlcss variety. The stagnation
in stock is no joke to the brokers'.
They can stand it for stocks to go up
and they can stand it for them to go
down, but when they stand still-good
night.
The Exchange has recently had the
worst days business since 1888,
twenty-five years ago. Only $4,000
shares of stock and 81S bonds chang
ed hands. There are LOO members
of the Exchange. 1t was figured
that each of them would have $40
for his days work if the commissions
were divided equally. A dollar and
forty cents, not the wages of a man
who digs ditch in these days-and
for brokers whose business expenses
might run to 800 day each. No
wonder taere are .'unorganizations"
and few failures. No wonder that
staid old firms settle all their ac-
counts and Quietly go out of exis-
tence
For one thing each member ofe the
Change" has lost about forty thous-
and dollars. This is the difference-be-
tween the high quotation for a seat
in 1909 aid the price seats bring to-
day.
The floor Of the exchange these
days often resembles the lounging
room of clubhouse. The Exchan &c
is club in reality. VIII 1t become
one in name? Will it tura into a
mere social organization, with ira
ditions of business? Hardly, because
there are more securities to be trad
ed in each year. There must be a
pblic auction room where they can
change AaDds. The trouble Just at
present is the brokerage machinery
is too big for it's proposes. 1t is
built on scale to handle great
speculations and little speculations,
and when it has to come down to
calm peaceful transfers, it is like a
automobile carrying a
single passenger. There is no profit.

 The hotel men were frankly wor- ried by the new turn in affairs but expressed themselves as confident of the ultimate outcome. Twen ty-nine hotels are involved, so far, in most of which, however, only part of the force of cooks and walters has re- spended to the call to strike. The union planned, today, to put some of it's members secretaly at work in these hotels to urge the recaIcitrant members to join the strike.

COREY, FINED
 S25 IN CITY COURT, APPEALS
Wouldn't Deny Testimony That He Was Speeding 35 Miles

Says He Had No SpeedOmeter But Believes He Was. Go ing Less Than That
 Speed

! Allan Corey, brought before Judge Carl Foster in the City Court this morning upon a reopened case charg- ing him with violating the automobile regulations was found guilty and fined $25 and costs. Sensational evidence anticipated was not introduced, and fighting the charges with demurrer and testimony in direct contradiction of that given by his captor, Corey has taken an appeal carrying the case to the higher court under bonds or $1o.
 Attired in a plain business suit cov- cred by a fur lined coat with collar to match Allan Corey, son of the well New York and Braddock, Penn, ap- peared early this morning to answer a charge of automobile speeding. He and they mingled before the opening of the session with the officers and court attendants in the corridors ted with the officer who had caused his arrest
 Seated with his companion in the rear of the court room he was com pelled to await his turn which follow ed the disposition of a number of in toxication, petty theft and non-sup- port cases. When he reach the Corey case. Judge Foster was informed by Prosecuting Attorney Delaney of the incidents yesterday, of his causing the bond of s100 posted by John T. King
 
 ing the case reopened. Although not epresented in court by counsel a de- Tnurrer had been entered which was promptly overruled.
 When Patro1man Clifford Gorgas was called to the stand the defendant displayed no emotion, and appeared to take little interest in the recital, all though at the Suggestion of the prose cutor he stepped from among the spectators and took a seat immedf- ately facing that of his accuser
 According to Patrolrnan Gorgas on the 22nd day of November he was at CourtIand avenue, Black Rock when he observed the Corey car proceeding towards Bridgeport at rate of 35 the driver to slow down. A chauffeur was riding upon the running board. A number of shop hands as well as school children thrOnged the street and She young millionaire drove his car through Fairfield avenue among them at the testified rate of speed. Once he slowed near the railroad viaduct resumed his speed. Trolley cars were in his path on State street.
 Questioned particularly by Judge Foster as to whether there were any unusual features in the case to which he had not testified, Officer Gorgas said there were not. Again asked by the court if it was a case of speed and nothing else, the officer said that was all.
 Tn his own defense young Corey testified: Officer Gorgas is mistaken about the chauffeur being on the run hing board. I am familiar with the regulations of traffic about Bridgeport having often been here and did not raanze I was exceeding the limit. I
