Prominent retail merchants of the

Saturdays. All leading dry goods
stores in the city close at this time
during the entire year.
H c. Hasemeier, chairman of the re-
tail dealers committee of the Com
mercial Club, declared today that he
and members OF his committee had
made an effort along this line each
year but that while a few of the mer-
chants had fallen in line. others re-
fused to close their stores until 6
O'Clock in the evening.

NEW YORK FEEDS
NEARLY 100000
One Notable Christmas
Event was "Spug" Tree
Celebration

New York, December 25.-Well attended
church services and the distribution of
Christmas dinners to nearly 100000 of the
city's dependents We're the features of
New Yorl5s observance OF the day OF
nativity. The day broke with the gentle
ness associated with Indian summer"
clouded up Overwhelmingly about noon, and
ended in showers and drizzles. One re-
suit of this was that the celebration
planned in connection with the people
out of door Christmas tree in Madison
square had to be postponed until tomor-
low night
The Salvation Army led in the distribu-
ton of Christmas cheer. In addition to
issuing 5000 Christmas dinner baskets,
each of wf1ich contained food enough for
six, the organization entertained $500 chill
dren with a Christmas tree party One
thousand baskets were given by the Vol
unteers of America and 5000 dinners were
served by the heirs of big Tim Sull-
van.
Turkey dinners We're served In all of
the public and charitable institutions and
afternoon entertainments were given In
mates of New Yorl<s prisons were not
overlooked, though in some cases the
usual entertainments were omitted Ono
of the notable events of the day was the
celebration organized by the "Spugs" or
Society for the Prevention of Useless Civ
ing. More than 600 adults and children,
rich and poor, attended it's Christmas
tree party, at which presents, coffee.
cake, sandwiches and candy were dis
tributed.

POLLA'S ROOMS
HAVE BEEN SEALED
BY CHURCH'S ORDER
Was Done to Guarantee the
Safety Of Documents
Valuable to the
Church

fome. December 25.-The apartments
occupied by the late Cardinal Ram
polla have been sealed up in conse-
duenee of request made by Monsis-
nor ID Bizogno, administrator of st.
Peters. This step was urged by Cardf-
mai Merry Del Val, papal secretary of
state, simply to guarantee the safety
or documents of great interest to the
church, the possible loss of which was
suggested by persistent reports regard
ing the disappearance of Cardinal RAM
polla's last will and testament
That will was executed by Cardinal
hampolla bearing a later date than the
VIII found is considered almost certain
because the cardinal left a key with a
tag attached, on which was inscribed
In his own handwriting the statement
mat the key opened a box containing
his Will, and those close to the cardinal
think 1t incredible that he would not
alter his testament of 1889, explaining
That his estate had grown fourfold
since that date.
The box referred to has not been
found, and no one has come forward to
say he has absolute knowledge of the
existence of the testament reported
missing. There is no evidence that it
was stolen and no claims have been set
up by anyone that he has sustained
damage by loss of the will The au-
thorities, therefore, are not in a posi-
ton to take action.

Havana, December 25.-The murder of
the 6-year-old While girl Eugenia Herman
6ez, ON November 25, at Artemisa, the
province of Pinar del Rio, in connection
with the practice of ''Voodooism'' is at
trlbuted to two negroes, Jose De La Cruz
and Eugenio Cardenas, now under ar
rest.
According to those who investigated
the crime, the negroes obtained the con-
sent of the parents to draw blood from
the childs body for the purpose of cur
ing a sick woman, Salvatore Arizona.
They went through the usual wierd cere-
monies in the presence of the parents
preparatory to taking the blood. The lit
tie girl was seized, but managed to free
herself and ran to her mother, clinging
to her skirts This was repeated each
time she saw the knife in the wizard s.
hand. The negroes then decided to wound
the girl by an explosion of powder, but
the explosion proved so violent that il
killed the child.

Within the frontier village. opposite
Preside, Tex, the federals have fortified
themselves behind trenches and are pre-
pared for u siege. The Importance of
the rebel movement toward that point
lies in what the federals will do if de-

necessity for first besieging the village,

long period OF waiting might ensue.
General Villa sent word from Chihuahua
today that he had TO intention TO order
japanese to leave the country. Reports
had been current that General Huerta
had placed orders in Japan for arms and
ammunition and that because of this the
rebels intended to expel the few Japanese

their countrymen.
I'VE intend to modest no foreigners who
do not actually mix up in our domestic
