Conditions Not Looked for

' There appear in the authoritative state mont to be some conditions not looked for when the list of the members of the un- derwriting syndicate was in preparation. How does 1t happen that one great finan- cial center is not represented by any bank. but exclusively by private banking firms, while on the other hand another community not conspicuous for financial strength and not as yet directly benefited by war orders is represented in the sym dicate almost exclusively by banks and trust companies? It would have been pre-

By HOLLAND

New York, October 24.-(Special.)-W ia eight months the market value of the stock of 10 industrial companies in Con neoticut has increased a little over $15,- OO1 0OO. These figures undoubtedly explain. in part at least, the participation of Il banks in Connecticut and two firms of private bankers in the underwriting Of the Anglo French loan. Such a vast volume of business as the Connecticut in- dustries are now engaged in carrying on, much of it representing war orders, fully justifies the underwriting participation of banks and private bankers whose places of business are in the three Connecticut cities which have received war orders in vast amounts
 A study of the list of underwriting par ticipators in this loan reveals some in- tesesting and highly significant features Twenty eight states and in addition the District of Columbia are represented in this underwriting. Some of these states have not as yet been especially bene- fitted by war orders. For instance, the Pacific coast states, California. Oregon and Washington, have not received any notable trade impulses on account of the war California at least in it's fruit in dustry, has experienced the same depres- sion which was characteristic of indus tries in the east just after the war began. Yet California, Oregon and Washington have participated in this underwriting not through the direct association of any banks with it, but instead, that of pri- yate bankers

BIBLE To MIKADO.
Christian japanese in Amer
lea Send Book to Emperor.
Three Hundred Natives Meet to
Express Their Thanks.

| Toxic, Nov. 13.-"When we think that
the Bible, which was presented to the
| emperor today by DR.. Surge, is a
book whose teaching was interdicted
within this realm less than fifty years
ago we have some idea of the great
development of the Japanese Empire"
That was one of the most striking
remarks made during a notable din
ner Of 800 representative japanese
VINO assembled to express their graft
tude to DR.. E. A. Surge, of San Fran
cisco, who has done much in the in
| terest of the Japanese residents on the
Pacific coast and much to develop the
relations of friendship between Japan
and the United States.
The function was in a sense a coro-
nation festivity for it followed the
presentation to the emperor by DIR.
Surge of a beautiful Bible, contrib
uted as coronation gift by the Chris
tan japanese who live in the United
States The Bible is bound in white
leather, has the rising sun" embossed
on the outside in red while on the in
side of the covers is represented the
Empire of Japan in gold side by side
with the coast lire of the United
States. The idea of the engravings
which include also the national flag,
is that Japan and America are bound
together in lasting friendship.
Beside being an expr assion of graft
tude to DR.. Surge, the meeting of last
hight WAS u striking manifestation OF
japanese n friendship. All of
the speakers, who included Viscount
Kaneoko, Admiral Baron Uriu, Baron
Kanda, DR.. Soyeda and others dwelt
impressingly upon the desire of Jap
an to continue and develop her annie
able relations with the United States.
Would Fight for America.
DR.. Soyeda, who is president of the
Japanese railways, went further than
voicing the usual expression of friend
ship. After saying that Japan could
never forget that the United States
had led her into the paths of right
eousness he declared: II want to say
this: in case of danger arising to
the American Republic, L am conf
dent shat our compatriots who reside
within The borders of the United
States would be ready to spend their
last penny and give up their lives to
help save that Republic if it were in
danger"
DR.. Surge was grateful for the
warmth of the reception accorded
him. He said he felt somewhat
ashamed to come to Japan after the
disagreeable things that had occurred
in California but he was delighted to
find that the Japanese people were
showing him even greater kindness
than during his visit several years
ago.

he returned to the house nor at any
time until the grand tragedy occurred.
Mrs. Bowser read in the Monday
paper that the fellow had played the
Tuesday paper. 1t was possible that
he might call. At what hour would
he make his appearance?
1t was hardly likely that he would
show up during the day. 1t would
probably be between five and six in
the evening. The man of the house
would not be home yet for dinner and
the cook would be busy in the kitchen.
That would leave the wife alone up
stairs to answer the bell. woman

as good as those of a detective.

That was what Mrs. Bowser did. At
O'Clock in the afternoon, she placed
the broom with its hard-aSh handle
behind the hall door and stood and
smiled at it for a moment. At four
O'Clock on a Thursday afternoon, Mr..
Bowser called her up by the telephone
and stated that he might not be home
until half an hour beyond the usual
time HIS message was given to the
cook that dinner might be delayed.
1t was a sign to Mrs. Bowser that
business was good at the office.
1t was about a quarter past five
and the cook was busy peeling her
potatoes when there came a soft ring
of the door bell. Mrs. Bowser answer
ed it, but before opening the door she
made sure that her weapon was all
right and at hand. Then, she swung
the door back to find a muff1ed fig
ure with a package under his arm.
That muffled figure muttered some
thing to the effect that he had been
out of work so long that he was
obliged to part with his family Bible
to buy food. Would she give him ten
cents for the precious volume.
Let me see it," she asked in reply.
1t was an invitation to step within
and the stranger stepped. AS he did
so, he pushed the door to behind him
and dropped the Bible to the floor.
The crash it made gave out the sound
of a brick, but, as he said it was

business on hand just then.

whir1ed twice around Mrs. Bowser's
head and then came down upon the
skull of the caller with crack

shout when the end of the broom

by joint" exclaimed Mr.. Bowser.
The cat waited with bated breath
for what might follow.
The family cricket paused in the
middle of chirping a gospel hymn.
Mrs. Bowser looked up from her
book but not too soon. She was used
to Mr.. Bowser's EXPLANATIONS and
they had never amounted to much.
THE scOundreii" Missed Mr.. Bow
ser. Here is an account of a man
who goes around with a package
under his arm, nearly always in the
evening. If he finds a woman alone
in the house, he mutters something
about a family Bible for sale for ten
cents. IF she lets him into the hall,
he demands ten dollars in cash and
threatens her life if she does not give
1t to him. 1t is said he has made as
high as $50 a week playing this vile
game. If the police were worth their
sat he would have been captured long
ago. 1 wish to goodness had taught
you how to shoot with my revolver,

like a brick weighing eight or ten
pounds. 1t brought LOUD gruAit anu
Mrs. Bowser had to laugh as she stooo
on the steps, the trusted broom III
hand, and watched the fellow pans
the gate open and disappear in the
darkness.
Mr. Bowser was nearly an hour late
that evening, and there was an air OF
desolation about him, as he came IN
There was a liberal piece OF court
plaster on his chin and three bl bps
were growing on his head. He bent
over when he walked as if he had
pain in his stomach, and now and
then he reached hand back to where
something seemed to have struck him
on the spine.
Good gracious!" exclaimed Mrs.
Bowser, but what has happened to
you p"
Nothing" he replied.
But there surely has. You look
like a man who got in the way of a
street car. Have you had a doctor
examine you to see If any of your
bones are broken?"
Il will tell you all about it after
dinner" he sulkily replied.
There was not much conversation
at the dinner table. Mr.. Bowser did
not once refer to the Scoundrel who
was playing his little game, and Mrs
BowSer seemed divided in her opin-
ion as to whether he had been run
over by street car, or had a little
riot with five hold-up men. After
reaching the sitting room, the story
of his adventure was not Immediately
begun by Mr.. Bowser, nor was there
any impotence on the part of Mrs.
Bowser to hear it. She quietly wait
ed for five or six minutes and then
said:
II also have had an adventure"
Mr.. Bowser sighed. Then he groan-
ed. Then he put his hand to his back
and got up and took a ten dollar
bill from his wallet and laid it on
the stand before her.
For me?" she asked.
Yes"
But what for?"
For being frail little woman!"
he answered with a good deal of bit
terness, as he sighed and groaned
again.
Thanks
And Mrs. Bowser, like a polite lit
tie woman, asked no more questions.
Was it Mr.. Bowser in disguise who
called to sell that family Bible and
ask for So? Only he knows and prob
ably will never tell, and If Mrs. Bow
ser has her suspicious she is going
to keep it to herself, but the broom
no longer stands behind the door in
the hall.-(Copyright 1915, by Nc

but you were always so timid.'
"Oh, I don't know" languidly re-
piled Mrs. Bowser.
you don't! That man may come
here any time within a week"
well, what if he does?"
He may demand ten dollars OF

flourished his fist in the air.
He wouldn't get ten cents. In the
first place L wouldn't have it in the
house, and in the next, I wouldn't
give it to him If had it,"
DO you mean to say that. you
would defy q villain of that stripe z"
IT might do even worse. At least
I should have no great fear of him. ="
Mrs. Bowser, you are frail little
woman. A man could strangle you to
like to hear you talk as you do. 1t
sounds like Boosting. A woman
weighing 200 pounds, and having a
hand like a ham and a foot like a
wash board, might talk of resistance,
but it is nonsense on your part"
1T may be-" was the quiet reply.
But you may send him along in case
you meet him"
"Oh. I may. Ell? Well. if that is
come. At his first words you would
curl up like a worm. I'd like to be
home and he not know was in the
house. How you would scream for
me to rush to your rescue"
thanks to you for your kind Offer"
Mr. Bowser was vexed. He was
nettled. He had set out to scare Mrs.
Bowser and she didn't scare. He
walked back and forth three or four
times, scowling at the cat and the
clock and finally said:
Mrs Bowser, I ttm going to apply
a cure for your Boosting, presumfng
that the man will call some day or
evening. I'll bet you ten dollars to
five that you faint away and are
found as unconscious as an old log.
If lose, 1 pay at once; if I win, I'll
take the five dollars out of your pin
money at the rate of dollar a week.
Come, now, Mrs. Brag. what do you
say?"
1T say I'll do it," she replied. but
the matter is so indefinite that it isn't
worth our discussion. I don't want
to choke you off. but I am reading a
very interesting book"
Mr.. Bowser lighted a fresh cigar
and left the house to take a walk and
do a little planning. He was vexed
enough to plan against Mrs. Bowser,
but it was not a very wicked plan.
The matter was not referred to, when
