SQUABBLE SEEMS CLOSED
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-San
Francisco's fire chief, Thomas Muir
ply, is back on the job tonight and
undisputed head of the department
so far as rival for the office is
concerned, but the city is without a
board of fire commissioners. Late
today Mayor Rolph suspended the
entire board after they attempted a
second time to Gust Murphy and put
Patrick Shaughnessy, former chief of
the fire department, in his place.
The mayor then proceeded to re-
woke the commissions order supplant-
ing Murphy and notified all members
of the department that Murphy must
be recognized as chief Wherf
Shaughpessy heard the news he put
on his hat and went home to dinner,
leaving Murphy in fun possession of
the fire departments headquarters
1t is believed tonight that Shaugh-
messy will make no further effort to
obtain control of the office pending
the trial of the commissioners We'd
fnesday on the charge contained in the
mayors suspension order of violation
of the city charter
The commissions act on behalf of
Shaughnessy was taken Immediately
after Percy Long. city attorney who
was asked by them for an opinion,
ruled that the commission. in the
first instance, has violated the char
ter provisions in removing Murphy
without a formal profferng of
charges against him and granting him
n public trial.
1t was contended by the commits
sion that such procedure was not
necessary.

FINANCES AND
MARKETS

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Such hopeful
differences as the financial district may
have drawn from last weeks rate de-
cision which granted the eastern rail-
roads a general freight advance, was
largely nullified or set aside when ii
was known today that the Pennsyl-
lania public service commission had
ordered a drastic reduction in coal
freight rates between some important
anthracite oenters and Philadelphia
While the officials of roads concerned
professed to regard the decision as en-
tirely local in extent, speculative Wall
Street evidently accepted it less favor
ably. This was reflected in the per-
sistent selling Reading and Lehigh VAL
ley shares which fell to a new low
price for the present movement.
In the final hour the list was sub
jected to further unsettlement and
lower prices. United States Steel led
the decline. This stock held a fraction
above fifty despite continued offerings,
some of them in blocks of thousand
shares or more. In the course of the
days business, which was far below
normal, some equipment shares of
bethlehem Steel preferred showed signs
of demand at slightly higher prices,
but this group fell back with the entire
list at the close, which was weak.

Business organizations of the Mississippi valley
are preparing to secure the fullest value from the
Panama canal. A conference called by the New
Orleans Association of Commerce. the Business Mems
Club of Memphis and the Chicago Association of
Commerce is now in session Memphis. Its pur
pose is to consider and establish means of getting
into close touch with Latin American and other
world markets 1t will consider the subjects OF
transportation banking, credit and trade fac-
ties
Properly transportation is the first of these
subjects And to the Mississippi valley. which can
furnish water transportation along the river to the
canal it is matter of vital magnitude Trans
portation along the Mississippi valley. including the
Ohio, should barge transportation to the Gull
of Mexico, where the goods dealt in be loaded
on ships to any part of the world. The opening OF
the canal makes this route especially available for
shipments to western South America, our own Pa
cifc coast, Japan. China the Philippines and Aus
tralia.
This subject is of vital interest to Pittsburg. We
are at the head of navigation on the Ohio. We are
the chief IRON and glass centers of the United
States. large and remunerative business should
be available for barge line TO New Orleans, and
thence by steamer to the chief Pacific ports
This should be much the cheapest route Tor any
freight in which time of delivery is not OF vital i'm
portance, is the with many OF our large
shipments of manufactured goods.
Pittsburg should certainly be ready to furnish
a large freight tonnage to first-class barge line
by way of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New
Orleans, and thence to all parts OF the world She
can greatly increase her own business ana that OF
the rivers by engaging earnestly in this movement

TO THE lEGlONS OF GOOD FELL
lOWS-YOUR CHRISTMAS
WORK is AT HAND

1t becomes the pleasant privilege of
the Tribune this morning to sound its
sixth annual call to the Christmas
Good Fellows. Little more than a
month remains in which to organize
this vast resource of kindness into an
efficient agency for carrying holiday
happiness into those byWays of Chica-
so and its environs which know too
little of the blessings of life.
Tens of thousands ofreaders of the
Tribune have been enlisted in the army
of Christmas Good Fellows since the
ume-December 10, 1909-when the
Original Good Fellow called at this
office with letter which said in part:
Last Christmas and New Years
Eve and spent from $40 to 5000.
Last Christmas morning over 5000
children awoke to an empty stocking
the bitter disappointment that Santa
Claus had forgotten them.
Perhaps it wasn't our fault. We had
provided for our own. But they seemed
far off and we didn't know where to
find them. Perhaps in the hundred
and one things we had to do, some of
us didn't think of the heart sorrow of
the child over the empty stocking"
Remember the letter? OF course you
do. The wave of cheer started by that
letter rolled out into the darkest cor
ners of Chicago.
And every year Size then the Tribune
has made an appeal at this season
based on the original lteter or the orig.
inal unnamed Good Fellow And thou
sands of the same type of unnamed
Good Fellows have filled empty stock,
ings by sending a little of the money
that might have gone for useless
things.
This year the war came, and with it
temporary hard times And the suffer-
ing was visited upon the poor To the
Tribune made its emergency appeal
several weeks ago TO the great I'M
known brotherhood of Good Fellows to
get out early and help.
The United Charities testifies to the
noble generosity of the response Thou
sands of unnamed Good Fellows are
providing for the daily wants of thou
sands Of Chcagos worthy poor. This
work will go on without interruption.
At the same time there is now before
us the specific, joyous duty of bright
ening the Christmas of the poor-the
Children's Day! There must be a
the year-round help.-Chicago Tribune.
