The controversy be- tween the railroads and their en- ployes is also of threatening char acter, and is seriously disturbing con- fidence. The steady offering of American stocks held abroad has also tended to prevent recovery in rail- road shares and high grade invest ments that might otherwise have oc- cured. Rumors of a United States bond issue in this direction were sug- gestive. Rumors of a British bond issue were probably without founda- ton, and due to the distribution of a large block of these bonds as divi- dend by prominent munitions con- cern.

The Dancing Of Today.
(New York Evening Post).

The annual convention of dancing masters is a reminder that the new dances of two years ago did not de- velop along the lines predicted They were to lead us out of the desert of waltzes and two-steps into the prom ised land of graceful and complex dances. But along came the one-step and that quintessence of simplicity soon monopolized the field. Nor do we hear so much of the older genera tion on the dancing floor, or stories of grandm others. dancing away their 8Oth birthday celebrations. Follow ing the revival of many forms of folk dancing, there might we'll have been a frightened interest in artistic va rieties of social dancing.

Pick Fred El1iott's Pockets of $50 But Get Frightened and Return Coin

A band of wandering gypsies stopped at the office of the Gulf Re- fining company late yesterday after noon and one of the female mem bers of the party entered to tell for tunes. The staff had an enjoyable time jollying the fortune teller, but when she left she had the laugh on them for she had picked Manager Fred Elliott's pocket of $50. Elliott followed the band up Stanley street, demanding the return of his roll He was laughed to scorn whereupon he telephoned for the police In the meantime the gypsies returned the $80 with interest, the interest con- ssting of threats and epithets.
 When Officer Malone and he patrol arrived MT. Elliott whose anger had been appeased by the return of his cash, declared he did not want to prefer any charges and would not identify any of the party. The police then ordered the nomads out of town.

 Advocates of woman suffrage md realize that the best they can exp| in the way of democratic platfoI declaration is plank along the lil of that adopted by the repubIics in Chicago.

This does not md that many of them may not be p fectly willing to indorse the eQI suffrage principle, as was done Chicago.

Bankers Vs. Promoters.

If we look at the reverse situation,
 the unfavorable factors are fairly nu- merous, and somewhat spottf. Per haps the most unfavorable feature is the Mexican situation which is threat ening and will probably develop with . more or less c1earness during the next few weeks. Another element of weak ness is the liquidation in munition shares, which are inevitably affected by the shrinkage of orders in that direction. The motor stocks have also come somewhat into disfavor, owing to the recent manipulation, also the failure of the newly proposed Combination which should be really regarded as a wholesome feature, in asmuch as it proves that the best of banking opinion is opposed to such wholesale and questionable promo ton schemes. Had this Notation been successful it would undoubtedly have excited much hostile criticism and probably started another anti corpor- arion movement. One other element of grave uncertaintf which cannot be Overlooked is the labor situation. The krecent advances in wages in the mu- <attion industries and the spectacular

GERMAN SUBMARINE CAPTURES

FLYING KAIsEa'S FLAG
GERMAN SAILORS SEIZE VESSEL
CARRYING 42s PASSENGERS
AND ELUDE FOES.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Norfolk, Va, Feb 2.-Given up for
lost days ago, the British passenger
liner Appam, plying in the west Afri-
can trade, sailed like an apparltlon
into Hampton Roads, flying the Ger
man naval ensign and with her ships
company under guard of German
prize crew. She brought word of
mysterious German commerce raider,
the Moewe, which now roams the
seas, and had on board the crews Of
seven British merchantmen and ad-
miralty transports captured by the
Moewe before she seized the Appam
and started her across the Atlantic
for an American port with Lieut.. Hans
Berge of the German naval reserve
and twenty-five men in charge.
The Appam now lies off Old Point
Comfort, under the guns of Fortress
Monroe waiting for the State Depart
ment at Washington to determine her
status--whether she is a man of war
subject to interment, or a German
prize.
According to the story told with
great reserve by Lieut.. Berge to Col
lector Hamilton, when he formally re.
ported his presence in American ter
ritorial waters, the Moewe captured
the Appam, bound from Dakar,
French West Africa, for Liverpool,
after brief show of resistance, Jan.
16, sixty miles north of the Madeira
islands.
On board the Moewe then were the
crews of five vessels. previously cap
tufed, all of whom were transferred
to the Appam.
From all reports the raider is con.
verted German merchantman with a
false canvas forecastle concealing a
battery of guns of fairly large caliber.
Jan. II she engaged in battle an
Australian trader. the Clan MacTav
ish, which she sank after an exciting
combat with loss of fifteen men
killed on the Clan MacTavish.
The Appam, ten miles away at the
time in charge of the prize crew,
steamed hurriedly back to the scene
and rescued four members of the
| crew OF the sinking Clan MacTavisb
struggling in the water.
On board the Appam, all told. are
452 persons. The prize crew Of twen.
ty-three; twenty German civilians
who are on their way to England for
interment; 13S seamen captured with
the British ships; 116 passengers on
the Appam, and the Appam's crew OF
155.
