Picks Guardsman
For Hotel Porter

LONDON - There was a terrible
misunderstanding in Oxford street
recently. A young soldier came
along, a tall, fully inflated guards
man, very proud of his new gray
coat and with the light of man
euvers in his eyes. But the crowd
of shoppers was thick, and with
true military courtesy he stepped
aside into one of the entrances 10
a large diapers to let little group
of women pass.
At that moment portly dame
came busting out of the shop with
a couple of bandboXes in her hand.
AS she crossed the threshold she
stopped, apparently bethinking her
self of forgotten commission. She
barely glanced at the young guards
man, but into his arms she pushed
the two bandboXes. "Quicg, porter"
she gasped, quickly hold them while
go an" the swing doors clos
ing behind her stopped short her
explanation.
How is a guardsman who has drop
ped his sWagger stick and is desper-
ately clutching at two slipping band
boxes to account for things to a
growing group of onlookers? The
temperance of the woman and the
proper apologies hardly removed
the stain

BOOKKEEPING
MIRACLES
Railroads Accomplish Them,
Says Professor
Ripley
ECONOMIST SPEAKS
AT CHICAGO
The Physical Valuation Is
a Preventive to
"Jobbing"

Chicago, Nov 1.-THE railway prob.
lem" was attacked here yesterday at the
eighth conference OF the western eco
nomic society, and while most of the
speakers were ready to grant that the
railroads were efficiently managed, Pro-
lessor w. 2. Ripley of Harvard univer-
sity remarked in effect that the book
keeping of some of the roads was more
than effieient--t was miraculous.
Professor Ripley's subject was "The
Investors Interest in Railroad Valua
ton, "and he argued that physical valua-
ton, on which the government was
spending $l5,000000 to $2o,000000,
would have protected the investor from
the stock iobbing apparent in the diff
culties which now bcset the New York,
New Haven and hartford, the Rock
Island. the Frisco, the Boston and
Maine and other roads.
The Harvard economist observed that
the attitude of the railroads had changed
from vehement objection to government
regulation to a rather cheerful accept
ance OF new conditions.
This change OF opinion has followed a
gradual appreciation of the protective
value to vested interests of complete
revelation OF all the existing financial
facts" he said. He asserted the physi
cal valuation was merely phase of
sound accounting system. Every rail
road accountant, the professor continued,
was aware that the cost of property
item in bookkeeping was veritable
catch-al OF the balance sheet, as much |
SO as the profit and loss account so often |
used 20 even up discrepancies between |
liabilities and assets.
THE only difference is that cost of |
stretched back over a long |
greater impunity than profit and loss,
which is linked more directly with re-
'ent events" commented the speaker.
Professor Ripley asserted that there is
/ very real danger to investors having
-everse created out of the undivided
'arnings OF past years, capitalized by an
management, which might
hereupon foist the new securities on an
public. The most notable
Instance of this. he said, was the re-
irganization of the Chicago and Alton in
sos by the late f. H. Hartman.
Othr speakers yesterday were T. s.
ADAMS of the Wisconsin tax commission,
.ho spoke on Valuation of Railway
property for Purpose OF Tsxation;"

GIRL is KILLED,
2 OTHERS. HURT
Sequel of Skating Rink Filtration and
Night at the Dancing
Places.

New York, Nov. l4.-While speeding
along Pelham parkway near the New
Rochelle road yesterday morning after
an all night party, an automobile con-
tanning two men and three young girls
plunged from the road and overturned.
One of the girls was pinned under the
automobile and instantly killed. The
others were thrown clear and escaped
with few minor bruises and cuts.
The dead girl was Miss Elizabeth Day
ton, 90 years old, living at 1921 Decatur
avenue, the Bronx. 1t was said that
she had recently left the home of her
step-father, Paul Askenasy, at 207l
Broadway, to live temporarily at the
Decatur avenue address. Mr.. Askenasy
was notified shortly after the accident
and arranged to have the girls body
brought to his home.
The others in the car were William
II. Roche, 25 years old, of 6S West 6sth
street. Miss Violet Van Setback, l6, of
ID Franklin avenue, New Rochelle, and
and Anna F. Wiley, %, OF Winthrop ave-
nue., New Rochelle.
The police learned that Roche went
to the st. Nicholas skating rink Thurs
day afternoon and there met the three
girls. After making himself acquainted
Roche stayed with them all afternoon
and then made an engagement to meet
them in the evening.

STOCK EXCHANGE MAY
OPEN FIRST OF YEAR
This Expected In New York as Result Of
nferences--Financial Situa-
ton Is Improving.

New York, Nov. 1.-the New York
stock exchange probably will resume
regular business with the beginning OF
the new year unless unexpected obstacles
are encountered. This statement is
made on high authority and is the re.
suit of a series of conferences recently
held between officials of the exchange
and the leading financial interests OF the
country. 1t appears to be the unani-
mons opinion of the financial commu-
nifty that nearly all the difficulties in
the domestic situation have been over
come and the recent decline of exchange
on London, with easier discounts there,
indicates greater confidence in that quar-
ter. With the Inauguration next Mon
day of the new currency system large
amounts OF cash will be available for
credits, both financial and mercantile,
and these will be distributed as equally
az possible throughout the more important
reserve centers of the country. In con-
nection with the proposed reopening a
seat on the stock exchange sold yester-
day at $4,000 against the recent low
price of $4,000, while another seat is
said to be under negotiation at $4,000.

EARL ROBERTS OFF TO
SEE INDIAN TROOPS
Veteran British Fighter, Despite His 81
Years, Goes To the Front
in France.

London. Nov. l4.-"Bobs" is off to the
war despite the weight of his 80 years
1t was officially announced yesterday
that "Bobs," otherwise Field Marshal
Earl Roberts. was going to France for
tho purpose, it was explained, of seeing
the Indian troops
Just what this phrase meant no one
outside the confidence of the ministry
could explain. In view of the fact that
the field marshal is England's most fla
nous soldier and that he spent more
than half his life in India, his visit, to
France is believed to have peculiar
significance which may develop to the
public later on.
Field Marshal Roberts was born in
Cawnpore, India From childhood he has
had a command of the Indian dialects,
and just half Of his life has been spent
there, most Of that time in service.
As "Bobs." Earl Roberts has been
known for years to every soldier in the
British army. He retired as commander
in-chief of the forces in 1904. Since
then he has devoted his time to telling
Great Britain how badly prepared the
empire was in a military sense for the
present war, which he predicted was
sure to come. Earl Roberts has written
and spoken often in favor of some form
Of CONSUMPTION for Great Britain, mainly
in preparation for the war with Ger
many.
Since the war began the old soldier
has been in frequent consultation with
Lord Kitchener and has taken an active
part in the recruiting throughout the
British Isles.
