w. Maloney. aged 80, who boarded q;
the home Of his cousin, John Maloney,
at No. l706 Tulip street, committed
suicide yesterday about 3 o'clock by
shooting through the heart with re-
volver while standing in the ward At
the rear of the house. Mr.. and Mrs.
John Maloney were awakened oy che
report and, thinking burglars were in
the neighborhood, Maloney dressed
and searched the house. Then he went
into the backyard and almost fell over
the body of his cousin, which was
attired only in his night clothes.
Worry over family troubles is be-
lieved to have prompted the deed. Ma
loney had been separated from his
wife for about two years. She caused
his arrest some time ago for non-sup-
port. and under a court order he was
paying Agent Stout certain sum
every week for her support. He made
a payment yesterday afternoon and
at that time told Stout he was going

DEMAND :EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Four Hundred Thousand Dissatisfied
Railway Employees

New York. Jan. 2S-More than SO
per cent of the 100000 employees of
the big four brotherhoods of engineers
firemen, trainmen and conductors
employed on the 52S railroads in the
United States will vote in favor of
the demand for an eight-hour day and
time-and- for overtime in the
freight and yard service, according to
indications at Chicago, where the vote
is being counted The count will not be
completed before March |.
This is not strike vote That fact
has been clearly stated by the rail
road officials, as well as by the Off
GERS of the brotherhoods.
A distinctly new situation is pre-
sented For the first time in the his
tory of the United States all employ
es of the operating force of all the
railroads of the country are making
the same demands simultaneously up
on all of the railroads.
Heretofore it has happened that en-
ployes of one or more of the four
brotherhoods might present demands
to the Eastern railroads at or about !
the same time that one or more of the ,
brotherhoods presented similar de-
mands 70 the Western railroads. More
frequently it was one of the four mak-
ing demands on the roads of the East
or West.
REIMBURSEMENT Of economic condi-
tions has had much to do with the
decision of the officers of the brother
hoods to now make united demands.

BIG BLOW TO Be
DEALT IN NORTH
Renewed Activity in Riga
and Dvinsk Indicates
Attack Soon
CZAR RUSHES CANNON
Kaiser Expected to Make Determined
Move in Russia, Judging From Pre-
sent Conditions.

Petrograd, Jan. 29.-Early renewal
of military activity along the north
ern end of the Russia front, in the
Riga and Dvinsk district, is forecast
by Russian military critics. Their ex-
pectation is based in part on the un-
usual activity of German aircraft in
accommodating the Russian lines. Not
only aeroplanes, but Zeppelins are
being employed.
This activity, in connection with in
formation obtained from prisoners
captured in Bukowina concerning re-
moval of German troops from that re-
gion leads to the belief that the Ger
mans may be preparing an offensive
in the north to counter the Russian
attack in Bukowina.
Along the Stripa River the artillery
fire of the Teutons is increasing daily
in intensity, and it is assumed that
they are preparing an offensive under
cover of the bombardment. Trench
battles, in which hand grenades and
mines are employed, are occurring
along the banks of the Dneister, and
between Boyan and Rarance. Boyan
is Immediately to the east of Czerno-
WITT, which indicates that the Rus
slams are holding conquered territory
close to that important centre.
The comparative inactivity in Buko-
wilma during the last few days in en-
planned by seasonal conditions. Mud
is knee deep. which is said to have
had much to do with bringing opera.
tions to standstill.
AS for the Caucasian campaign
there has been no official report OF a
further advance since the recent sue
cesses were made known, ad it is as
sumed the Russians have halted be-
fore Erzerum fortress while awaiting
the arrival of artillery.
According to statement made to
the foreign press by the military ex-
pert of the Birzhevu Vedemosti, it is
a practical impossibility for the Ger
mans to send reinforcements from
Constantinople to assist the Turks at
Erzerum. Even the bringing up of
troops from Bagdad, the most likely
expedient. would mean the weaken
ing of the forces which are facing the
British in Mesopotamia.
The Russians are now within three
or four miles of the outer fortifica-
tions of Erzerum.

Russia Has One Million Men at

London, Jan. 29-"I think that for
US the war is only beginning" said
David Lloyd George, minister of NUM-
tions, in an interview yesterday with
the London correspondent Of the Milan
,Secolo.
II am, however, absolutely con-
lident Of victory" he added, because
although we all have made mistakes
in the past. England and her allies
are now taking counsel together and
will be stronger because they are unit
ed.
"By next spring we shall have for
the first time more munitions than
Germany, and our superiority in men
is unqueStioned. Beside this, Ger
many's financial position is growing
worse daily"

beginning to fight" said DR.. Frede-
rick w. Eastman who arrived in port
yesterday on the anchor liner Califor.
MIA. DR.. Eastman is graduate Of a

GERMAN FINANCES
Alleged Teutons' Credit Balances
Abroad Are Exhausted.

London. Jan. 29-Bankers and other
financial experts regard Sir Edward
Holden's address before the meeting
of the shareholders of the London
City and Midland Bank yesterday as
the most important statement on war
finance yet delivered outside Of Ger
many.
The speech constitutes a reply to
recent attacks on Great Britain's fl
nancial position by the German minis
ter of finance, Herr Helfferich. SIR
Edward declares Germany's credit
balances abroad are exhausted and
her exports have diminished so seri-
ously as to make it difficult to fnan-
ce her imports. He adds that the Ger
mans have sold nearly all their AM
erican, Swiss, Scandinavian and Rus
sian securities, and hence gold ex-
ports have become inevitable for her
He challenges Herr Helf'erich tc
reply to ten categorical questions COW
ering these and other points regard
ing Germanys economic position.
Financiers here also derive great
satisfaction from Sis Edwards re-
ference to the fact that. on account
equal to from Is to II per cent under
the existing law, the first British war
loan returns were only 8 per cent and
the last only 8 2-3 per cent, and on
this basis Great Britain has raised
about 1,000,000,000 pounds sterling.
At the same time, Holden urges
that the British government consid-
err the fact that other belligerents
have flung aside the income tax on
war loans, which forms a deterrent
influence on the complete success OF
the issues. Incidentally Sir Edward
said:
"We are under great obligations to
the American bankers for the magni-
ficent spirit they showed in buying
straightout, that $500,0OO,OOO loan."

It will surprise q good many
people no doubt, to learn that,
barring accidents, Secretary of
state Robert Lansing will be the
lrxt president of the United
States. His term Of service in
tils office is to be very brief, how
ever. for at the end of twenty
four hours after assuming the
presidential toga he will doff it
ngain in favor of President Wilson
or the nominee of the Republican
convention, according to the re-
suit of the November election.
Foe explanation of this statement
Is to be found in the fact that the
4th Of March, 1917, falls on Sum
day, and from noon of that day,
when President Wilson'S present
term expires. until such hour on
the following day as the oath Of
Office is administered to the newly
elected president, the secretary of
state must fiji she chief executive
ship according to the constitutional
requirement.
