Brisk Public Buying Sends Outside
List Forward.

NEW YORK, March 24.-with deal
ings on a large scale, stocks in the
curb market moved forward under
public buying. The Independent Oil
shares, as usual, were the most promi-
nent, among which Merritt Oil fea-
tured, selling above 80 at a sub
stantiaI advance. Federal Oil and
Oil were firm also.
In the industrials, the motors were
exceptions to the general upward
and large fractional losses
resulted. Chevrolet lost five points
from the opening sale, while United
Motors declined a fraction. Midvale
Steel was firm, as was Submarine
Boat and Wright-Martin Aircraft.
Bonds were strong and active, es-
peciaIly Long Island railroad deben-
ture SIS, which sold up three points
from last nights close and is FIVE
points above the initial transaction
of yesterday. The foreign govern
ments were active and slightly higher.

ROBBING.HUBBY'S
POCKET Is UPHELD
Wife Justified If Spouse Holds
. Out on Pay Day, Magis-
trate Rules.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Probably
the most important thing that hap
pened in the court OF domestic rela.
tions recently was the decision of
Magistrate CORNELL in the case Of Mrs.
Dora Kell against her lawful hus-
band, Samuel Kell, Of AT West Thir-
ty-fifth street, that a wife whose hus-
band holds out on her on pay day
has a perfect right to get up in the
middle of the night and go through
the pockets OF his pants-not trous-
ers, because Samuel was asked which
they were, and he said they were
pants, and, what's more, SO long as
he made S15 a week driving a furni-
ture van he guessed he'd keep on
calling them pants. Furthermore, as
serted Samuel, they were his own
pants and private property, and he
wanted everybody but himself to keep
away from them.
That's why he was in court-be-
cause he tried to discourage trespass-
ing in the pockets OF his pants. Mrs.
Kell told Magistrate Cornell that
Samuel actually objected to her pleas
ant custom Of rising about g. m.
and exploring his pockets, and she
stated positively that she wouldn't
live any longer with a man who got
peeved about a little thing like that
For nine years they had been mar
ried, she and Samuel, and In all that
time, she said, he has given her but
"a or IS q week to run the house and
care for their two children. while he
always had plenty of money to spend
with the boys down at the corner. So
she began picking his pockets while
he slept, and last Friday night she
made a rich haul, getting ST which
she didn't know Samuel had and
which Samuel didn't intend she should
ever know anything about.
The next morning, she said, Samuel
made loud and indignant protest, and
that night came the last straw. Sam
uel not only sewed up his pockets,
but he kept his pants on and took
them to bed with him. So she had
him summoned to court.
"And that isn't all either, Judge"
said Mrs. Kell. HE never takes me
anywhere or gives me anything"
~ do too" cried Samuel "I took
her to the movies twice last year."
You'll have to do better than
that" said Magistrate Cornell. "If
q wife can't get the money she needs
any other way she has a right to
pick her husbands pockets. Now you
pay her $3.50 a week, and I'll adjourn
the case for a month. Meanwhile you
buy her some candy once in a while
and take her to q show"
"rll go back IL she'll quit picking
my pockets" said Samuel. 81 don't
want to have to keep my pants on
for a whole month"
Mrs. Kelr promised to keep away
from Samuers pockets so long as he
kept up his payments.

After being III since last November.
DR.. Charles s. Braddock. tr., one Of
the most noted cholera and smallpox
experts in the country, Is dead at his
home here. DR.. Braddock was a mar

out the world for the work he did In

no known vaccine virus for use In
tropical climates. This he perfected
and with its use and the establish
ment of isolation CAMPS. he rid Siam
of smallpox. He then began burning
entire villages where he found chol-
era existed. In that way he enec-
lively checked the plague

According to the National Conduit
and Cable Company, the copper in
dustry in this country is on the best
footing ever known in Its history,
and yet the absorption of the metal
has been on such a huge scale that
nearby product is difficult to obtain
In large Quantities. More copper
was produced in 1917 than in any
preceding year, and a still greater
tonnage is expected in the current
year. The Unprecedented demand
for copper during the last two years
has led some leading producers to
construct additions to smelters and
refineries. These engagements will
add enormously to producing capa-
city, thereby practically insuring an
output fully adequate for a large in
crease over last years consumptive
requirements. The new extensions
and equipment have cost millions of
dollars, and are satisfactory features
OF the situation of recent months.
The tonnage of copper which will
therefore be available for consumers
this year will be greatly in excess
OF that in 1916.

CHAPLIN SALARY REAL COIN
New York Legislators Find Charlie
Gets $75o,ooo.

ALBANY. N. Y, March 24.-Charlie
ChaplIn's salary Is really S750,000 q
year and perhaps by now a round mil
lion, according to the Wheeler COM
mittee.
The evidence before the committee
showed that even such salaries are
not an unwise investment. The com
mittee heard evidence that Douglas
Fairbanks receives as much as Chap
Inns present contract and that there
are several other stars making more
than $780, a year.
The European war has played havoc
with the profits of the movie" men,
and the committee therefore does not
at this time recommend a rigorous
tax.
An unexpected development OF the
report, however, was the strong
for censorship which,
the committee says, is backed by the
best people in the picture business.
Sex, vice and vampire films, the com
mittee finds, are produced as a spec
ialty by one large and two small COM
panies in particular.
The committee finds that most of
the tangible property OF the industry
is outside OF the State, except the
theaters, which are the least profit
able end OF the business, the smaller
ones being barely able to- make ex-
penses since the cost of films has in
creased.

SHEPARD FAMILY BALANCES
Second "LIttIe Sister Plays With

NEW YORK, March 24-Finley J.
Shepard, jr., has q second "little sis
ter" Although her identity remains
a mystery to all except the members.
of the Shepard household and those
who were concerned in her going there,
she has been romping at viii about
the residence of the one-time Miss
Helen Gould and her husband for sew
eraI weeks now, and provides the
balance" for the kindergarten that
has been built up about the legally
adopted son OF Mr., and Mrs. Shepard
Finley ]. Shepard, jr.. was about five
years old when Mr.. and Mrs. Shepard
signed the papers that made him their
legal heir in June. 1915. A second boy
was taken into the sheppard home,
5T9 Fifth avenue. He was about the
same age as Finley J. Shepard, jr., but
was not legally adopted
Still later It became apparent that
little sister, was necessary to the
proper development OF Finley J. Shep-
ard, jr. She was obtained, although
nothing of her identity has become
known. She was not legally adopted
Several weeks ago the second ~little
sister" was obtained by Mrs. Shepard,
making a family of four Juveniles,
each receiving the same care and edu-
cation as Finley ]. Shepard, Jr. The
only difference Is that only he has
been legally adopted.

WALL ST. MARKET
MOST OF LEADING ISSUES
SHOW SLIGHT ADVANCE.
Higher Prices Given Rail Stocks
in Yesterdays Sensational
Spurt Were Well Maintained
at Opening Today-Reading
Sold Above One Hundred.

NEW YORK, March 24.-The stock
market opened with desultory trad.
ing and slight price changes. Most
OF the leading issues showed frac,
tional advances with the exception
OF U. S. Steel, which was off Il at
1l6&. Marine opened at 36J5, up Il
kennecott Copper Az, up a; Cen.
trail Leather 95, up u; Marine pre-.
ferred s415, up n.
Advanced prices given rail stocks
In yesterdays sensational squirt were
well maintained. Reading sold
above 100. New York Central was
unchanged at 80. Erie was strong,
selling at ~, up points.
There was little in the overnight
news developments to affect mater
Tally. 1t seems to be pretty well es-
tablished that our participation in
the war which everybody recognizes
must come will be in a financial way.
The state of general trade is ex-
cellent, according to the trade jour
mails and not unduly disturbed by re-
cent events. The movement of the
banks toward clearing their daily
balances through the Federal Re
serve Bank is growing and appears
to have the approval of the banking
fraternity. Bank clearings this
week totaled $5,536, 6,52s,0T2, an in
crease OF 27.6 per cent. New York
city clearings against 21.3 per cent.
The railroad continued in active
demand throughout and firm, with a
few conspicuous exceptions like
Union Pacific which at no time sold
as high as its previous closing. Read
ing later moved up above 102 and
gains of 1 to 2 points or so were
general in that department until well
into the second hour when prices in
the entire market began to ease off
from the top. There were numerous
cross currents which kept price
movements more or less uncertain to
the closing. The munition and equip
ment issues were neglected and mar
row save in one or two isolated
cases. The steel shares ruled frac-
tionally above Friday and the COP
pers wer quite strong at times.
Bonds were likewise more active and
firm. The commodities markets and
cotton were firm.
London was quiet with little
change. There was further ease in
money rates over there and the con-
soils continued to decline gradually.
Foreign exchange on this side was
quiet and but slightly changed save
for firmness in both rates on Rome
and on Petrograd. Gold to the
amount of $500, 900 was engaged for
shipment to Cuba.

Investor. Buying western Union.

The recent action of the directors
OF The Western Union Telegraph
Company in increasing the dividend
on the stock from a to a 8 per cent
annual basis has attracted some quiet
absorption OF the issue for the ac-
count of investment interests. The
company has been doing the best
business in its history, and it is un-
derstood that the forthcoming re-
port OF the operations in the last
year will make a most favorable ex-
hibit in earnings and surplus. The
cable operations are heavy because
of the European war, but even with
the end OF hostilities interests iden-
titled with the concern see no slack
ening in undersea transactions, as
they believe the transmission OF
peace news will be just as large as
that OF war news, also that through
in handling its service
the company will be able to save
on costs and increase its efficiency.

from Kensett, Ark, signed II. E.
Watson" which stated that James
Douglass Glass, the four-year-old boy
who disappeared May IL, 1915, had
been found A request for the $500
reward was made in the message, and
it was said that a letter and photo
graph were being forwarded.
Jimmie" Glass is the son of
Charles Glass, an auditor of the Erie
railroad. He was with his parents at
Greeley, Pa, when he disappeared
Since that time boys resembling him
have been reported to have been seen
in various parts of the country. One
of these futile clues took Mr.. and
Mrs. Glass to Oklahoma.
