WALL STREET EX-
PECTS BETTER TIMES

New York, Dec. 4.-Certain of
the leading financial institutions Of
Wall Street are preparing circulars
to be mailed to their customers with
in a few days. putting forth business
conditions in very rosy light. 1t Is
believed that the coming of the new
year will see vast improvement
along all lines. Although the year
just closing has been one Of the most
disastrous in many seasons, even for
big firms, the lack of investment de-
mand has not been entirely ques-
tion of the scarcity of funds for in
vestment as much as the, extreme
caution displayed by investors. Rail-
roads are not making money, speak
ing broadly. because they are unable,
owing to opposition of the interstate
commerce commissioners, they say,
to charge remunerative rates for the
transportation of merchandise. Divi-
dends of important stocks have been
reduced and this has had its natural
effect upon the price level of such Sc
curities. Now that the business In
terests feel that they understand the
president better. clearer sailing is ex-
pected after Jan. | next.

THINKS FLORIDA HAS
SOME RIGHTS

Tallahassee, Dec. 4.-With 4 refer
ence OF the coupon law, which was
recently enjoined by the United
States court, Attorney General West
made it plain that he is a States
rights man. He had the following
to say: "I am not appealing the
coupon case because there appears
any desire on the part of the people
of the State that the statute be up
held. In fact, it seems to be gener-
ally regarded as unfortunate legisla-
tion in several respects. But there is
question of Importance to the peo-
pie of this State involved in the
case. ut is whether or not we
should submit, without question, to
the federal courts enjoining officers
of the State from the enforcement of
a State statute and, in doing so, to
wipe the statute off the books.

trary to expectations there was no
disturbance today when Mrs Emme-
line Pankhurst, militant suffrage
leader, was arrested on board the lin
er when she arrived from New York
and transferred to the tug which had
been chartered by the police.
Mrs. Pankhurst was taken by the
police to the government dock, where
all but officials were excluded. Mill
tants meanwhile are parading at
Plymouth.
A heavy sea helped the police to
elude the posse of suffragists who
planned the rescue of Mrs. Pank-
hurst. The waves were too much for
the small launch with which the mil
itants tried to hold off the police
boat. Suffragists are on guard at
all prisons in London where it is
thought Mrs. Pankhurst might be
taken.
