ssTEL. & TEL. CO" SPLIT WILL NOT
 BOTHER CONCERNS

l New York, Dec. 22-When the Amer ican Telephone 6 Telegraph Co. and the Western Union Go. reach the part ing of the ways as provided for under the agreement reached with Attorney General McReyno1ds, there will not be the slightest need for the re-alignment of the organization of either concern, according to statement made by President Theodore N. Vail of the American Telephone & Telegraph com pany.
 We built up the mutual interests of the American Telephone & TeIe- graph company and the Western Union in such a way MT. Vail said, that we did not encupber ourselves with an organization that would have to be broken up in case the compan- tes should withdraw from the ar engagement.
 In other words, the organization of each concern was rigidly maintained and preserved and, when they draw apart, each will carry with it as per feet an organization as when the two entered into mutual relations
 The officers of the Western Union company are: Theodore N. Vail, pres ident; Newcombe Carlton, vice-presi- dent; William H. Baker, secretary, and R. A. Brewer, treasurer With the exception of MT. Vail none of these men is an officer of the Ameri- can Telephone & Telegraph company

SERIOUS REPROOF OF CARABAUS IS
 ORDERED BY WILSON

Washington. Dec. 22-President Wilson today made public a letter to Secretaries Garrison and Daniels, re- spectively, requesting that "a very serious reprimand'' be administered to those army and navy officers who par ticipated in the recent dinner of the Military Order of the Carabao at which the administrations Philippine and other policies were satirized. The letter follows in part:
 'fThe officers who were responsible for the affair are certainly deserving of a very serious reprimand which hereby request be administered and I cannot rid myself of a, feeling of great disappointment that a fine body of of fcers assembled at a dinner should have greeted the carrying out of such a program with such indifference to the fact that 1t violated some of the lost dfgnified and sacred traditions of the service.
 My purpose therefore in admins tering this reprimand is to recall the men who are responsible for this low ering of standards and to hold them selves as responsible men and trusted soldiers even while they are amusing themselves as diners out.
 Sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON,

MUL vIHILL IS COMMISSIONER
 FOR COUNTY Supreme Court Supports Governor Baldwin at
 Every Point DECISION MAKES
 GREENWICH GLAD Walsh Regime Ended So Far As Control of Justice Is
 Concerned

County Commissioner Denis lTuIv-i- | hill arrived at the office of the county l commissioners, County Court Houss | this morning, at 10 o'clock, and took | up the duties of his office as a de iurs member of the board. County Com | missioner Whitman S. Mead, who haa been in the service for many years. retired. Both men had been present ing themselves at the meetings Of the commissioners but were inactive in some of the work of the board, while title to the office was in process of being tried out.
 County Commissioner BIulvihnI said today. ''I do not feel there is anything for me tc say. The courts have tried the title to office and have sustained the appointment of the governor. had assumed that a gentleman of the eminent legal attainments of Cover nor Baldwin would be right in his estimate of the law. T want to say that my relations with County Com missioner Mead have been very pleas- ant, and that his conduct during the interim when the title to the of1ce was in dispute has been that of a gentle man"
 The salary of the county commis- sioner is $1,SOO per year. Commis- sioner Mulvihil1 will be entitled on Jan: 1 to arrears of salary amounting to $45O, it having been part of the agreement that neither contestant should draw pay while the litigation was in being.
 The decisions confirming Governor BaIdwin's appointments to -5udgeships and country commission ershfps were rendered Saturday.
 The principal decision is written in Eberle vs. Clark, and the decision iu Lyons ys. Watkins is based upon the principles therein asserted
 The effect of the city court decision is to seat many Democratic city court judges throughout Connecticut. The other decision seats seven Democratic commissioners one having been elect ed by the General Assembly, for New London county.
 The gist of the city court decision is to the effect that the constitution provides a definite term of two years for a city court judge, which term cannot be extended, though Judge Clark is held to have been the de facto judge and his acts valid as to the public and other parties.
 The right of the General Assembly to empower the governor to i'll va cancies is sustained
 In the. county commissionership case a two year term is established by the statute.
 The termination of the term creates a vacancy, which the governor is em- powered to fill. He may anticipate the vacancy, and fill it before ft ac- tualIy occurs.
 At the annual election of officers held this morning Commissioner NuIvfhfU was elected secretary, and treasurer of the County Home Commissioner Brophy was named chairman Of the board of commissioners and Commis- sioner Pease was reelected secretary mad treasurer.

Anxious for Holiday

A general desire among legislators to get away from Washington for the Christmas holidays resulted in a pro- gram calculated by Democratic lead CTS to place the bill before the presi- dent for his signature tonight and to clear the way for an immediate re- cess. In the House procedure called for the setting aside of the rules in order that the conference report might not be forced to lay over for a. day to be printed.
 In the Senate, the leaders endeav- pred to smooth away the obstacles, ehief of which was an incipient pro test by the supporters of the provision for an insurance of bank deposits which was stricken out of the hill in conference.
 The conferees agreed on practically all of the fundamentals of the meas ure as it passed the senate, including the provision that not less than eight nor more than 12 regional banks be established. The reserve requirements for banks entering the system. which had been slightly let down by the 5es...--o, were strengtna fn eoEtur- ence, an amendment allowing the use of present bank notes and the pro posed new federal reserve notes in bank reserves being stricken out.

 ACCUSED IN LONDON i.
 BY HOTEL KEEPER

London, Dec. 22.-NIfs Hannah Cor don Watson, who says she is the widow Of a former American cone5.1l at lien Tsin, China, was charged to- day at Bow street police court with obtaining by false pretenses credit to the amount of $40 from a London h.o- tel.
 The testimony showed that Mrs. watson went to the hotel last week With four children ana brought with her two valiseS.

REALIZING HOLDS
 UP ADVANCE IN
 WALL ST. STOCKS

New York. Dec. 22-Opening- abrupt upturn in stocks late last week led to reaction at the opening to- day. The effect of realizing sales was increased by disclosure of decided weakness in a few spots. Canadian Pacific dropped back IA. Western Union fell 3 3-s to a new low point and American Telephone receded 1 IA.
 Most Of the leading stocks opened fractionally lower but the list later stinened with gains of a point or more for Lehfgh Valley, sugar and Western Maryland. Canadian Pacific and Western Union failed to rally with the rest of the list, however, and their persistent heaviness checked the ad- vance and brought back the general list to the opening level
 Noon-Traders who went into the market for turn on the long side last week were disposed to realize to- day and their offerings held the ad vance in check. Conditions of the market recently and the uncertain outlook for money during the closing days of the year caused holders of long stock to take profits rather than nold on for 9 further advance Weak ness Of special stocks also imposed restraint upon the market as did for elgn selling Of Canadian Pacific, steel ana Amalgamated. Bonds were ir- regular.

Washington, Dec. 22.-More applied tions from nationa9 banks for mem bership in the federal reserve system piled into the treasury today. The elimination of the federal guarantee of bank deposits in the new currency bill is to be followed by the introduc- ton of a separate Dill to establish such a guarantee. Chairman Owen, of the Senate banking committee, ex- poets to ntroduce it early next month
 The administration currency bill in its final form was reported to the houses Of Con gress to be written into law.

 by her neighborS tO De in flames as the result of a lamp explosion.
 Taken to Bridgeport hospitalF she died on Friday night, but not until Capt. George Arnold, and Detective Simons had secured an ante-morten statement in which the woman alleg- ed that her husband came home in toxicated; that he was very ugly upon such occasions, though doci1e and quiet when sober; that the boarders brought in some beer and left some upon the table; that she did not wish her hus- band to have more and though he re- scented the act she carried the pail downstairs and threw it intq- the back yard.
 This so enraged the husband, she all leges, that when she returned to the foot, of the stairs and was about to ascend he stood at the top and hurl- ed lighted lamp at her, striking her in the chest. The lamp broke and the illuminating fluid was ignited about her dress. She rushed upstairs where boarders and nefghbors pulled off her burning clothes.

WILSON KNOWS OTHER TRUSTS TO ACCEPT THE LAW Corporations Are to Accept Provisions of the Sher-
 man Bill WOULD HAVE ACT
 FULLY UNDERSTOOD Action of 'Big Business" Tn Taking Initiative Vel
 comed By Executive
Washington,

Washington Dec. 22-President Wilson let it be known today that some other corporations besides the Aneri- can Telephone 6 Telegraph Company had shown a disposition to take the initiative in congratulations to con form with the sherman antitrust law.
 The President did not specify what corporations he referred to, though in informal discussion of the subject with callers today he spoke of having some in mind. He reiterated that there seemed to be a very general dis position to inquire what the law was, to know what would be expected of big business and a desire to comply with the spirit of the law.
 MT. Wilson made it clear to his call CTS that it would be the policy of his administration to cooperate in every way it legitimately could to bring about a satisfactory understanding of the law by the business men of the country. The President pointed out that the attorney. general would CO.,. operate and heartily welcomed the impulse the part of the business to take the initiative.
 The President has been conferrine with congressional leaders of the anti trust subject and will read a special message to Congress after he returns from his vacation in which he will point to the necessity of a rigid en- fcrcement of the Sherman law and will endeavor to make clear the in depreciation of that statute which the department of justice will follow
 When the President signs the cur rency bill he probably will accompany his signature with some sort of a statement on the trust situation. Al note of confidence that the business
