WAIT FOR REBATES
Court VIII First Pass on Repayment.
Negro Newsboy Pr sents $4,000
Worth and Waitress $4,000

Monday at Charleston, w Va,
scores CT persons We're turned away
disappointed from the offices of the
committee appointed To- redeem the
rebate coupons issued by the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railroad, while the con,
stitutionality OF the 2-cent passenger
fare law was being tested in the court
Chairman M f. Matheny announced
that the coupons would be received,
audited and a report made to the Cir
cult court of appeals before the mon
ey was paid. This, he thought, would
require one year.
Many instances of speculation in
coupons came to light. A negro news
boy presented $4,000 worth, and a
waitress fro m railroad restaurant
in the coal region came with $4,000 in
coupons, while travelling salesman
had $4,000 worth most of them pick
ed up at slight cost from fellow trav-
elers, who had less faith i'm the law.
1t is estimated that coupons to the
value of 100000 are outstanding.
The commission was asked to de.
eide whether state employees should
turn the money they received from
coupons into the state treasury. It
was held in some quarters that since
the money was given by the state for
travelling expenses the state should
receive the rebate The question viii
be decided later.

The Threshold Of Pros
perity

Keen observers OF the commercial
and financial conditions agree that a
great turn for the better has come
that we are at the beginning OF long
business upswing. Even the ultra
conservative newspap RS of the east
are beginning to comment on the ex
tent of the change in business senti
ment.
The most confirmed pessimists say
that we are in for good times" again
very good tines even go 50 far as
to say that the Balkans, the money
stringency Ia Europe, the Mexican sit
uatson, the tariff. the currency bill
and the corn crop combined can't
hold down general business boom
Within the past week large per
cent OF advertisers have reinstated
cancelled contracts in big newspapers
and iagazines an ordered larger
space. All OF which goes to show
that period OF prosperity is about
TO dawn and that business is prepar-
ing for it,

Tammany Senators Now Say
They Made One Bic Mistake

Tammauy Senators. fresh from the m

another last night :hat they made one
big mistake and that was that they didn I
dsqualify Suzer from holding othcc under

him b. !, into the Assembly pointed their
regret
With Su,zcr back IN the .\ssom mnly they

next session Of tho Legislature. whatever

Sulzer Impeachment Issue is not dead nor
will II die with the present campaign.
It would have vanished in smoke. they
say. n Sulzer had been forever disqualified
from holding offices OF trust under tho
state.
No specific statement was coming from
Fourteenth street or Dclmonicos as To the
effect of suffers candidacy. Charles T.
Murphy, in conversation with newspaper

James J. FrawIcv. Who was chairman

william Barnes. Republican state leader
who published an editorial To that cffec,
in his Albany newspaper last February.
Frawley was talking of the Sulzor inter
view with James trctlman. in which he
charged Murphy with Furnishing him FOR
refusing to carry out his wishes.
'I don't see that the statement au-
