Frederick Mace, Movie Man, Forced

may be you've heard of him-is a movie
play producer. He can produce two
three-reel plays at one time. IL he

or six reel play is candy for him. Con-
fdentially-his lawyer says so-he is
one of the highest paid men alive in
that line. But that doesn't entitle him.

Mrs. Mace, who lives in Hunting
Park avenue, Philadelphia, and who is
known on the stage. he says, as Ger
trude Wallace. charges that he did
abandon her and that is why he did not
go last night TO a dinner at the Wal
dorf-Astoria, where he was to have
been the guest of honor. He would
have gone, gladly. but some detectives
and others wouldn't let him. He had
to stay at police headquarters. a pris-

DEPENDS ON RATE DECISION.
Bearing of ThF Matter on Market
Is an Important Element.

Bearing of Thr Matter on Market
Is an Important Element.
In their monthly market review. Spen-
Ger Trask & Co. have the following to
say regarding the rate case now pending
before the Interstate Commerce Commits
son:
There IS only one danger we can for
see, and its extent is viewed differently
by different eyes: The decision o. the
Interstate Commerce Commission in the
Eastern rate case. So much has been
written on this subject. and the railroads
have produced so much evidence OF their
impaired credit, that nothing is to be add
ed here. There is no denying the fact.
however that II the railroads do not re-
ceive at least a large portion Of the in
crease for which they have petitioned.
they will face a very serious situation, 4
situation which may conceivably hasten
government ownership, or else produce
some radical change in the methods
adopted to establish rates. On the other
hand, If the decision is in any way ia
vorable. conditions are so shaping them
selves that We may see a satisfactory
bend market for some time to come"
