cause December why they should not
be enjoined from negotiating or trans
ferring certain stocks and bonds. in
which the plaintiff claims to be inter-

Through Attorneys Wilton J. Lam
bert, j. Fithian Tatem and Rudolph H.

deposited stocks of the par value of
$109.900 with the brokers as collateral
for loan of $4,000.
He charges that these securities have

intervenes.
Mr.. Moore offers to pay the debt due

NEW YORK, November 2s.-Harry
Vardon, who won the open champion

winter to give instruction at school
to be established along elaborate lines
at the RitZ-Carlton, unless all reports

indoor course of six holes equipped as
nearly as possible like outdoor links.
except, of course, in distance and driv-

and pits and grass putting greens arc

Although Vardon's acceptance OF the

not been received as yet, II is said that
the terms were so fiattering that even
this one of the great triumvirate" Of
British professionals could not refuse.
In fact, Vardon was asked to name his
own price.

ELEVEN GAMES PLANNED
FOR 1915 WORLD SERIES
Ban johnson, American League
Chief, Says New Plan Is
Virtually Settled.

CHICAGO. November 27.-The base
ball series for the championship of the
world will consist of eleven games next
year instead of seven. and the prices
will be lower. according to B. B. John
son, president of the American League,
when he made public a letter he had
received from August Hermann, chair
man of the national base ball COM
mission.
The question of cutting prices for the
world series was considered at a re-
cent meeting Of the American League
here and after a tentative agreement
was reached Johnson submitted the
proposal to National League club own
ers.
Herrmann's letter said the National
owners had agreed to the change and
that a plan would be worked out and
adopted at the annual meeting in jan
uary. Some of the club owners. he
said. had objected to cutting the prices
on the grounds that it would decrease
the amount given the players. Accord
ing to the proposed change, the players
will share in the first five instead of
four games. SO their total will not be
decreased.

Military Portable Wireless.

From the Enginee>-g Nasa>>ae-
Quick and efficient communication be-
tween the tremendous forces of COM
patants with battle fronts of 5O-25O
miles is no longer possible by scouts,
couriers and photographic devices. The
iong-range combat with terrible engines
of destruction means radio or wireless
communication. and every one of the
powers now at war is employing port
able wireless telegraph plants carried on
lnotor-truck chassis seared for speeds
Of 1856 miles per hour. The truck
motor drives an electrical dynamo which
generates the primary current of the
hight tension transformer necessary in
radio transmission, and the complete
paraphernalia of condensers. inter-
rupters, collapsible antennae, etc, are
carried on the truck which is generally
fitted with a protecting shield for the
driver, and special convertible body
with sliding paneled sides which can be
tightly closed in stormy weather. These
effective land range of 100000 miles
have enabled the armies of the dual al
lance" and the triple entente to keep
in communication with their base wings
and reinforcements--a task impossible in
modern warfare without the radio tele-
graph and-inost important-the motor
truck on which to move swiftly the
instruments and their relatively large
space-requiring auxiliaries from posi-

Petrograd-Stronghold Of Peter.

From the Youths Companion.
In the center Of Admiralty Square,
within the shadow Of Kazan Cathedral.
stands the equestrian statue of Peter the
Great, founder Of st. Petersburg, "the
City of Cars" Perched on a huge
the monument of Peter surveys the
dream he conceived, whose name Gar
Nicholas has changed from 'Sankt Pc
tersburg' to Petrograd. in his effort to
purge the city from its Teutonic name.
That little peninsula was a dreary.
marshy waste. surrounded by thickets
and forests, and inhabited by a few
Finnish fishermen. On one Of the islands
commanding the entrance Of Lake La
doga, the Swedes maintained a strong
fortress. Peter the Great, realizing the
advantages OF the position, waged a re-
!entleSs war for the possession of these
little islands. In 1903 the Swedes were
driven from the fortress, and. even be-
orders for the erection of the city, which
he named after his patron saint.
The building and maintenance OF ST.
Petersburg mark continuous struggle
with nature. The soil Is a marsh SO deep
and spongy that a solid foundation in
many places can only be attained by
subterranean scaffolding of piles The
highest spot OF the city is not more than
fifteen feet above the sea. The weather
is severe-bitter frosts in winter and
months each year tho Neva is frozen
solidly.
An old legend has 1t that after Peter
the Great chose the site of Petrograd
he noticed q heavy ring above the trunk
of tree. He turned to one of the Fin
nish fishermen who stood near. and
asked him to explain the meaning Of 1t.
THAT" replied the fisherman, is the
spot to which the foods of the Nevs
reached last spring"
oh Tod
mad! 1t can't be! 1t is impossible!'
1t was not long. however. before he
was convinced of the truth Of the fish,
erman's statement Ono year after the
work on the city had begun. the western
winds drove the water from the Gulf
of Finland down to the Neva.
In 1712 the floods were so severe that
Peter the Great nearly lost his life.
Of people died, and the city
was nearly destroyed. Peter, however,
was undismayed by the misfortune, and
urged on the work moro eagerly than
ever. Every building had to be con-
structed in a manner suited to the dig
nifty of a national capital, and St. Peters
burg was proclaimed the capital Of Rus
sia.
notwithstanding the beauty Of the
city, the people for many years could
not accustom themselves to regard It
as the capital. BY centuries Of tradi-
ton they had come to look on Moscow
as the only capital Russia ever could
possess It is an interesting fact that
none Of Russias poets have ever spoken
Of the city as anything but Petrosfad.
