FINANCIAL AND CONNIE RCIAL
STOCK PRICES WERE DEPRESSED
By Foreign Selling of Standard Securi- ties and .Heaviness of SpeciaIties.

New York Dec 2-Foreign selling of standard securities and pronounced heaviness in specialties served to de- press prices substantially in today market. Europe's. renewed. offerings of our stocks lacked explanation other than it may have. been necessitated by the extensive French and British commitments to the new French loan.
 The further setback in war shares was directly traceable to the utter ances of a Heading dnancier, who ven- tured the pFophecX that, the allied forces would henceforth reduce their war contracts in this country. The principal reason advanced in this con- nection was that cash would be lack ing to meet additional obligations.
 Professional selling, which again concentrated upon such leaders as United States Steel, the coppers and a few of the representative rails, gave added force to the decline. Steel fell tofi84s 1-2, while. .Uhions Pacific, Canadi- an Pacific. Atchison. St. Paul. Erie and New Haven lost one "to almost two points. Anaconda'ss loss followed @pub- lication of the, companyss statement flor November, showing a reduction Of 0,o00, pounds ins production compared with the preceding month. s
 Among the severe declines of the session, some of which were partly retrieved in the later dealings, were General Motors, which lost 10 at 460 Studebaker 3-8 to 14S 1-2, Baldwin Locomotive to 109 1-4, Crucible Steel IA to 70 1-2 and U. s. Industrial Alcohol 3-4 to 116.
 Other shares of like description av- eraged two point declines, with reavi- ness in Petroleums. Tobaccos and United Fruit. Cuban-American Sugar was the only high priced speciality tc hold it's frmness, probably resulting from the, official statement that the stock had earned practically 63 per cent. for the year. Total sales amount ed to 6S0,000 shares.
 Exchange on Berlin fell to 7S 3-4 for demand bills, the lowest quotation yet reported, and three cents under the rate of a month ago. London's rates also shader for both demand and ca bles, but francs were firm.
 Readings October statement, show ing an incl ease in operating revenues of $752:O00. and New Haven's increase of sSS4,OOO were confirmatory of re- cent exhibits by other leading railway systems.
 Bonds were heavy, with marked weakness in Missouri Kansas and Texas issues. Total sales, par value aggregated $4,185,0O0
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

JENNINGS TO BE OFFERED
 MANAGEMENT N. Y. FED
Harry Sinclair, Baoker of the Team,
 Has So Announced.

Chicago Dec. 2.-Harry Sinclair, packer of the team which the Federal league proposes to put in New York, said here today that he would offer the management of the team to Hughie Jennings of the Detroit Americans and also had bid for the services of Frank Baker, of the Athletics. He said he believed Jennings was not bound le- gally to the Tigers for the coming season and that he considered him the man-to round up a winning nine. If Jennings does not accept, MT. Sinclair said he might make an offer for Field CT Jones, of the St. Louis Federals, or might retain George Stovall, who is to be transferred to New York with the rest of the Kansas City team.
 Some of the leading minor leaguers have been engaged for the New York club, the list including among recruits several players from the Pacific coast.

Expects Little Opposition from the
 Eastern Association.

Commenting on the subject of a possible merger of the best paying and most populous cities in the old New England and the Eastern association circles, Louis P. Pieper of Lynn, says;
 If our plan goes through, not city would have a summer population of less than 100000. The cities we vant are Worcester, Lynn, Portland, Lowell. Lawrence, Springfield, New Haven and Hartford. Portland has is swelled to over the 100000 mark by summer visitors. The Maine city has proved, too good a baseball town to drop. and will be in the merger.
 We expect little opposition from the Eastern association to the merger. The International may try to secure Worcester. Hartford and Springfield. Now the International has the serious problem on it's hands of placing it's Harrisburg and Richmond clubs in other cities and the Federal league and the possibility of baseball peace, whether near or remote, must all be considered. However, without being over-optimistic, want to tell you the prospects of the merger never looked % bright as now.
 q think that when President Bar row finds out the sentiment in Spring field and Hartford, where I am told everyone favors the merger rather than the International league, he will turn his attention away from New England.
 ITO my mind the future of an In- ternational league team in any of the three cities would be precarious, to say the least. I don't think the club would last over a year or so. Then it would be hard for the fans to accept the grade of ball in a slower league. In fact, the town would be spoiled.
 Tn my opinion the baseball future of all the towns in the proposed mer- goes, and I think it will, you will see good, fast baseball"

him plenty of trouble and the once great pitcher had the worst season since joining the Giants.
 Tesreau one day would shut out his opponents with few hits and the next time show no control of the ball. Stroud started out in a for midable manner. but his hurling near the end of the season was not nearly as good aSs in the early part of the campaign. The other pitchers failed to make good.
 At the meeting next month. Mo- Graw hopes to land at least one pitcher of note for the Giants. He has couple of young pitchers who may come through with flying colors. They are Emilio Palmero. the young Cuban. southpaw and Fred Herbert who joined the Giants at the feg end of last season. Both these young sters are said to have all the ear- marks of big league pitchers.
 To land a first class pitcher from one of the other clubs in the Ma tional league McGraw will have to sacrifice one or two of his players. What players will be cut loose from the string is still dark secret.
 Hans Lobert may start next season at third for the Giants, but if his work does not show a vast improve mont over his pastimign around the difficult sack last season, McGraw will relegate him to the sideline.
 Lobert started the 1915 campaign like a house afire until one day Alexander the Great cracked him in the ribs with the ball. A long lay off followed this accident and when he returned to the game failed to show his best form.

IS EDDIE MARIAN THE
 GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER7
Ted Coy of Vale Cut a Big Figure on the Gridiron.


 Is Eddie" Mahan the greatest foot ball player of all time? It is a difi- cult question to answer, especially since some of the other great play CTS performed under different rules and under different conditions. It is also made difficult to answer because some of the other great players were supported by teams not as perfectly organized as that which Mahan has played on for three years at Harvard.
 But when everything has been weighed it certainly can be said with out danger of refutation that Mahan has never had a peer on the grid Whether he is greater than Willie" Heston, Jim" Thorpe, Charley" Bar rett and Ted" Coy is open to debate. In the opinion of many qualified ex- ports he is He is greater than Charley" Brickley and Walter Eek ersaH.
 Heston. Barrett Mahan and Brickley played football under much the same conditions namely that all were and in the case of Barrett are supported
 by great teams. Heston played on the
 famous point minute" Michigan
 team Barrett is aligned with the
 Cornell team of this year which com
 pleted the season without suffering l defeat. Mahan and Brickley played
 with Haughton's greatest Harvard elevens.
 Thorpe Coy and EckersaIl were not N played with the University of Chicago
 His teams were not the best ma
 chimes of all time by some strieds. Thorpe played with the Carlisle In- dians and he himself with the chief asset in trade. Coy, in 1907, almost single handed presented Yale with a victory over Princeton by a score of IF to 10, when the teams had left the | field at the end of the first half with the score standing 10 to in favor of the Tigers.
 It matters little who was or is the greatest of those seven players, the fact that they stand out as seven of
 the greatest players who have ever | trod a gridiron remains unchanged. There were others, such as Heffelfing- CT of Yale; and Jim Mccormack, of Princeton, but for all round football | ability it would be hard to add any | to the brilliant constellation Mahan,

Half Cooked Proceedings.

The outcome of the prosecution of
Van Mugs and Huston-one for per-
Jury and the other for malfeasance-
illustrates that there are lot of half
cooked criminal proceedings started
IN Idaho. Both men were acquitted,
as was right and proper, since there
was nothing more than technical guilt
at best. And yet, because someone
wants to make record as a conserver
OF the peoples interests, the time of
the courts IS needlessly taken up, the
defendants are put to considerable
expense, and a lot of bad feeling
created all around. One of the re-
forms needed in our criminal iuris-
prudence is the limiting of the power
to institute major criminal actions to
the county attorney. No one else
should have this authority. 1t gives
too much chance for blackmail as has
been evidenced several times in this
county of late.-Kimberly Call.

The bank prosecutions connected
with the state treasury loot have
resulted in the assessment and paw
inent OF two fines. one of $3.50 for a
former deputy treasurer, who had
also been connected with the bank.
and $500 for the bank
Without some sort of an illegal ar
rangement between the state treas
urers office and the bank, it is doubt
tul If Allen and Coleman could have
ever made the first misrepresentation of
public funds. With a cover up Dian"
between the bank and Allen and Cole
man and carried out through the
bank 1t was possible for Allen and
Coleman to go from bad to worse
until they were landed in the pennen-
tlary, while those pleading guilty TO
contributing to plan to make the
looting treasury possible get off with
small fines.
The proceedings with reference TO
the prosecution of tie bank and the
former deputy treasurer are. to saw
the least, most unusual. The whole
matter suggests that the bank people
are considered in the class of "hipher
ups and are immune from prison
sentences. Certainly the man who
helps to plan crime, is as guilty as
the man with whom he planned and
who carried into effect the consnir-
acy
This travesty OF common Justice is
deplorable. 1t may have been brought
aoout by the prosecutor failing to do
his duty in formulating the proner
charge against the former denntv
ana the bank; but however it came
about, 1t is still deplorable.
