SURE THAT SKELETON
% THAT OF DAUGHTER

Learning on her eighty third
birthday that the mystery of
the disappearance of her daugh-
ter, Bessie Apgar, might be clear
ed up by the discovery of a skel-
ton on the Mini Hartman farm at
Long Lake, Mrs. Anne Bissett of
Minneapolis, mother of the mis-
sing woman, last night declared
that her daughter had been slain
and that she believed an investi-
cation, even thirty-flve years af-
ter the disappearance, would
prove her contention. Mrs. Bis
sett and her son, Freeman Bissett
who live at 1908 Fifth avenue S
will go to Long Lake and will
take physician to examine the
skeleton. If it is pronounced that
of a woman the skeleton will be
given burial and an investigation
will follow.
II know my daughter was muir
dered and l have been confident
of it for thirty-five years." said
Mrs. Bissett. Nov this mystery
which has grieved me for all these
years may be cleared. If the
physicians say that the body of a
woman was buried in that grave
there can be no other solution .

PASSAGE OF CURRENCY M,

Sentiment In banking circles
has been more favorable and op-
timistic at the present time thIn
at any time siace the advent OF
the Wilson administration. This
cheer was derived in great meas
ure through the governments .ac-
ton in working out an amicable
dissolution of the American Tele-
graph & Telephone company-Wes
tern Union combination, the pas
sage of the currency bill and De
strong belief in financial cirQes
that other gigantic problems grbw
ing out of a few more so-caifed
combinations in restraint of trade
/ are to be settled out of court1l to
the satisfaction Of all concern ID.
Business men and banksrs
took heart at President Wilson'S
letter to the attorney general,
complimenting him on his solu-
ton of the telegraph-telephone
combination and interpreting his
remarks as indicating that "big
business" was not to be mofes-
ted as long as those entrusted
with its management showed aan
inclination to cooperate with The
government and comply with the
Sherman antitrust law.
The buoyant feeling which per-
meated Wall street at today's op-
ening was reflected to wide mar
ket for all classes of securities
and in sharp rises in the prices
of the stocks of other concerns
which have been operating under
the vigilant eye of the attorney
general and not altogether to the
liking Of the government.
The significance of this move
ment, say those willing to proph-
esy, is that the country may soon
expect to read announcements of

Three years ago about fifty
children visited the Trinity ceme-
terry of the Chapel of the Inter-
cession at Broadway and One Hun
dred and Fifty-third street, in
New York City on Christmas
morning and sang carols in honor
of the writer of this poem. Since
then this custom has been kept
up. Last year over five hundred
children san4 many others gatlpt
cred at the grave with banners
and trumpeters, sang carols and
laid wreaths upon it. The Rev
Grant Milo H. Gates of the Chapel
of the Intercession. started this
custom and hopes to see it con-
tinue.
"Twas the Noght Before Chris
mas was written by DR.. Moore
for his own children. In some
unknown way it found a place in
the Troy Sentinel OF December 30,
1923. but for some years the au-
thor did not acknowledge it.
Probably he was rather ashamed
of SO light production, but il
has proved to be his only title to
posthumous fame. He gave II
very little thought. but today
children gather yearly at his grayy
IL remembrance. ~
So a very beautiful and unex-
pected thing has happened to tie
man as the result of his spontan-
eous love for his own children
It's influence has spread far and
blessed many older children in
all lands.

further dissolutions without the
expense and suspense of the long,
drawn-out litigation that charac-
terized past performances in this
respect. The United States Steel
company's troubles were especial
~ associated with this prediction.
Today's violent rise on the stock
exchange was the discovery that
the market had been heavily over
sold and that. it only required the
slightest bit of favorable news to
rout the bears. This would in
dictate that today's recovery is sub
stantial and not the natural re-
suit of hysteria or a concerted
bear raid.
. Another important factor con-
tributing to the spirit of optimism
is that the bankers who fought
tooth and nail against the cur
rency bill appeared satisfied that
when it energies from the joint
conference. it will not be so i'm
practicable after all and many of
the banks who declared they
would not subscribe to the re-
serve banks will, in all likelihood,
be among the first applicants.
Final judgment on the effect of
the currency measure, however,
is being reserved until it can be
seen how many changes are made
in the senate bill before it be-
comes a law, but, meanwhile, the
bankers are coming to lay stress
upon the favorable features of
the measure and, for the moment
at least, the feeling of satisfac-
| ton is outweighing the uncer-
tainty which is felt over the way
the new system will work. All
concerned appear TO be willing to
brush aside. the suspense of the
last few months and steam 4

J. The heads of three of the iarg-
est banking houses in New Yorl
were interviewed recently and the
} general expression was that they
were satisfied with the currency
bill.
