GRAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Prospects of q considerable enlargement of receipts next week had much to do today with declines in the value of corn. Prices although steady at the close were l4 to 1c net lower with Jan., s1195s and May, $1.17& to $1.177s. Oats finished $s to a4 cent down and provisions off 35 cents to 55 cents.
 Railroads appeared to be furnishing cars for corn a great deal more readily than has been the case of late, and receiving houses were encouraged by weather likely to improve the quality of the crop and facilitate shipments. Peace talk received some attention. Selling was not of an aggressive char acter. Week end evening rlp of trades lacked volume, and there was a no ticeable absence of any important rallies.
 Oats weakened, owing chiefly to abatement of car scarcity. Later prices recovered somewhat.
 Sharp breaks in hog quotations car ried down pork, lard and ribs. Buying increased, but the market failed to re- spond.
 Close:
 Corn-Jan. S1199s; May, s1.17A.
 Oats-Dec., 79Ac; May, tSl3c.
 Pork-Jan S46.95. Lard-Jan, $2445; May, s2425.

Three Turks Held
Pending u. S. Inquiry
Accused of Throwing Man
Out of Window--Federal
Officials Act Suddenly

Three Turks were held in $4,000 bail
each on a short affidavit before Magis-

that the Federal authorities were in
terested in the case.
The prisoners are Ahmed Shukri, OF

Djevad Eyoub. of l6 Beekman Place, a
mining engineer, and Abraham Sefa, OF
1913 West Twenty-eighth Street, editor
o. a Turkish newspaper. Shukri and
Eyoub are Columbia graduates.
Patrolman Clair arrested the men
soon after o'clock yesterday morning
when he found them following ALI
Nehae, of 81 Rivington Street, at Beck
man Place, near Fifty-frst Street. All
four men were in their shirt sleeves
and Nehae was limping. He was found
to have a sprained ankle and internal
injuries. According to the police,
Nehae had been commissioned TO solicit
subscriptions for the Turkish news
Paper and an argument arose over
commissions during which Nehae was
thrown from a second story window.
Assistant District Attorney Direnzo

War to Make Jobs
For 100000 Women
Will Be Needed to Replace
Men in N. Y. Offices, Says
Company Manager

One hundred thousand women "sii
be needed in New York business Offices
to take the places OF mon who go to
war, according 10 Joel Rathbone, gen
cral manager OF the National surety
Company, at ll5 Broadway. To prepare
for the change, 4 war substitution
bureau" has been established by the
company, with Miss Kathryn Heatheron
in charge. The bureaus function Will be
20 assist other firms in the problems
connected with taking on large num-
bers Of women in place OF men. =.
Unless these one hundred thousand
men can be replaced a. once business
in New York will be a. stsndstlll.'
said Mr.. Rathbone. "Foreseeing this,
many downtown firms have already
undertaken a movement for the whole
sale substitution Of women in Office
work in New York.
"The movement in the Na'ions!
Surety Company began two years ago,
and was dictated partly by desire 10
provide sgains: loss OF office help in
case the United States was drawn into
the war, and partly 70 follow what we
believed TO be worldwide economic
movement toward the general substltu-
ton of women for men In office posi-
tons"
Mr.. Rathbone said that the men who
went 20 the Mexican border last sum-
mer from his concern had all been
taken back into his employ, and tho
women substitutes had not been dis
charged because the business was
growing so fast this was not necessary.
"Will the men who go TO this war
lose their positions permanently" he
was asked.
Certainly not" he answered.
The next question was whether the
women received the same salary q. the
men.
"No. they don't ask as much,' said
Mr.. Rathbone. Labor is commodity
to be bought at the lowest price. We
pay the young women what we think
proper for their station in life and
their responsibilities"

pointed by Mayor Mitchell to determine
what could be done in public construc-
ton through mobilization of the city'1
working forces in the event Of war met
yesterday at the City Hall and received
reports from large public utilities cor
porations.
Some members Of the committee de-
clared that the possibility of the de-
struction of subway work already COM
pleted or in the course of construction
by hostile forces had to be considered.
1t was desire TO ascertain just where
the necessary labor could be found at
the quickest possible moment to restore
work which might be interfered with.

the city departments and public service
corporations to submit reports as to
how quickly and TO what extent they
could mobilize their laporing forces.

Leniency Urged
For City College
Pacihst Editor
Student Council Protests
Suspension After Hot
Debate

After a three-hour session, during
which the militarists and pacifists dis
charged verbal broadsides at eacn
other. the Student Council at City Col
Jege Yesterday adopted resolution re-
ouesting President Sidney +. Mezes 70
reconsider the case of Samuel Ii. Fred
man, the senior suspended until May l
because of pacifstic editorials consld-
cred disrespectful to nigh officials.
The council net following an I'M
promptu gathering of Friedman sup
norters on the college plaza, during
which they were rushed by small
army of the militarists. Both factions
had been aroused by speakers who ad-
dressed little groups all morning IN
the various alcoves. Because OF the
strength of the militarists, it was
finally decided that no direct protest
should be made, but that the council
should advise leniency. The following
letter from President Mezes was read
to the students:
81 am not concerned with the views
the two editorials-'A Hotbed of Pac-
ifsm' and The Complete Rebuttal'--
express. though ! think some OF them
are historically and otherwise mis-
taken. / am not concerned with the
views. because the college upholds free
dom of speech. But the right to speak
freely is not unqualified; it is limited
by the duty to speak temporarily, ana
especially for young men to SPEAK
with a proper respect for more eXpe..
rienced men who hold positions OF
heavy responsibility when the latter
are criticised. Your editorials and
notes, in particular your reference to
Mayor Mitchell, disregard both these
duties, and it is we'll to remember that
Incorporate and inhammatory speech
is the worst enemy of free speech.
The resolutions state that while the
students deprecate amy such express
sion which is Incorporate and infam-
ma.ory," they believe the punishment
melted out to young Friedman Is too
severe.
While some of the "pacifist' meet
ings were being held during the morn
ing. the newly organized battalion OF
Townsend Harris Hail. the college pre-
paratory school, was passing in It's
first review, a stones throw away, be-
fore President Mezes and Director
John r. Sim, OF the academy depart
mont. A hundred students already
have enrolled in the battalion.

City Has a Zeppelin
Neck After Air Visit
Crowds Stare Skyward as Planes
Skim Over Library

New York this morning is having a
fresh experience with the Zeppelin
neck. II came about this way: Three
fiers from Governors Island, headed
by Philip A. Carroll, decided yesterday
afternoon TO pay their respects TO the
Aero Club of America. 1t was a duty
incumbent upon them because they
knew that Carroll, instructor at the
government school, was 70 receive a
medal Of merit at the annual Aero Club
dinner at the Waldorf last night.
Consequently the three iiers climbed
into their military tractors, circled out
over the bay and swooped down on the
city. Flying quite low, they sped over
the Aero Club, the Public Library and
the surrounding buildings Later they
flew over Central Park and had upper
Broadway excited. Almost every per
son near Forty-seccnd Street and Fifth
Avenue at the time stood still and,
turning their noses skyward, stared at
the skimming planes.
Hence the Ieppelip necks.
