FdD0rS Old Time
o the Editor of the Tele1raph

To the Editor of the Tele1rdph:
| noticed few days ago a good
article by one who signed himself
"A Taxpayer" on this much talked
OF subject of Daylight Saving" and
l agree with him entirely over this
agitated question OF meddling with
the clocks. l know the farmers
truckers and any other hard worker
all say it Is curse to have to get
up an hour sooner and be deprived
OF their much needed rest and then
when their help comes in the morn
ing it is generally too wet or early
to work in fields or lots and tban
when they might work to a good ad-
vantage and convenience later in the
day to have their help stop an hour
sooner; in fact, they lose at both
ends of the day. I have a nephew
who owns q fine large truck farm
within few miles of Trenton, N. T..
who is put to great deal of in
convenience over (to me) a foolish
interfering over old "Sol's" rays who
has had his supreme way for all
time! 1t might do for Younger
people-or, as this gentleman saws.
for those in office, ETC., who do not
have to get to their work so early.
but conditions and circumstances
aitei SaseS anyways, ana lt certainly
goes against the grain" to have to
change our clocks and rise an hour
sooner when there is really no need
for it-no garden to hoe, or even
balls to bat, in many cases. And be-
sides l cannot see where there is
any saving from the transaction. but
a great loss in more ways than one.
and as before quoted if those who
must have their recreation, let them
get at 1t an hour sooner in the even
ing. rather than upset other peo-
ple's days.
A FRIEND OF OLD "SOLS."

[From the Altoona Mirror.l


In some cities in Pennsylvania
politics is a live issue all the year
round. This is true of Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Johns
town. We often wondered If the
people in those centers of popula-
ton did not get tired of trying to fol-
low the sundry and divers political
moves, but apparently they do not.
for the papers are printing political
news all the time and they usually
know what the people want.
Here in Altoona and Blair county
the citizens take their politics in
small doses. They like short, in
tensive campaign. They are too busy
with other things to be bothered
more than a week or two before the
primaries and again at the election
with the opportunities of the candi-
dates. And they experience a sense
of relief when they cast their bal
lots.
And it is the better way, we
think.

Life Term Threatens
Alimony Club Member

After serving six months of what
threatens to be life sentence in
Ludlow Street Jail, David Goldhaber
was before Justice Hendricl in the
Supreme Court yesterday on writ of
habeas corpus seeking his release
Goldhabor became q guest Of Sheriff
Knott because of his inability to file
$500 bond to guarantee the payment
of alimony to his wife, who sued for
separation. The order of the court re-
quired that Goldhaber be kept in Gus
tody until he filed the bond, his wife
charging that her husband intended
to flee the city.
Mrs. Goldhaber was in court Her
appearance presented a contrast to that
of her husband. She was we'll gowned
and clad in furs. Goldhaber appeared
in the only suit he has worn since
being placed in Jail. Mrs. Goldhaber's
counsel argued that Goldhabcr should
remain in Jail until he has filed the
required bond. Justice Hendrick re-
served decision, after questioning
counsel as to why the prisoner should
be held for more than six months
which is the limit in cases where hus-
bands are committed for contempt of
court for failing to pay alimony
Goldhaber did not refuse to pay. He
was arrested only because he could not
file $500 bond, and in case of that
kind the law does not fix n limit

James n. Wallace.
Financier, Is Dead
OF Heart Disease
President of Central Union
Trust Co. Stricken When
Playing Checkers With
Doctor in Country Home

James N. Wallace, president of the
Central Union Trust Company and one
of the country's leading bankers, died
of heart disease at his country home
near Nyack. N. Y, at 1885 a. m. yes
terday. Mr.. Wallace was stricken
earlier in the evening while playing
checkers with his physician.
The news of the bankers death cast
q gloom over the financial district, and
all morning the Offices Of the Central
Union Trust Company were filled with
bankers and business men offering ex-
pressions of sorrow. Among the visit
ors were Pierre Jay, chairman of the
Federal Reserve Bank, and James
Speyer
Mr.. Wallace rose to a position Of
leadership in the world Of finance
from clerkship in the old Central
Trust Company, which last June was
pany, making the combined institu-
tions the third largest trust company
in the United States. He went to the
Central Trust on January l, 1882, and
was made assistant secretary in 1901,
q fourth vice-president in 1901, and
president in 1905. Upon the amalga-
nation with the Union Trust he not
only became president but chairman
as we'll.
Mr.. Wallace was known to his Wall
Street associates as an expert on re-
organization. He gained particular
prominence in this respect when,
shortly after the beginning of the
European war, he interested himself in
behalf of the preferred stockholders
of the international Mercantile Marine
Company and defeated the plan sub
mitted by the bondholders' committee.
Mr.. Wallace was a director in many
corporations, including the Bank Of
America, the Continental Insurance
Company. the Edison Electric Illnmi-
mating Company, the Sloss- Sheffield
Steel and Iron Company, the Union Car
blde Company, the Kings County Elec-
trio Light and Power Company, the
New York Dock Company, and the Sim
clair Consolidated Oil Corporation.
One Of his associates in the manage
ment of the Central Union Trust said
Mr.. Wallace had probably only two
peers in his ability to make money.
The two were the late J. P. Morgan
and George F. Baker
Mr.. Wallace was born at Walling-
ford, Conn, January 3, 1864. He leaves
wife, who formerly was Charlotte
Chichester, Of Brooklyn, and five chill
dren, including James n, jr., John X.
Josephine, Ralph and Howard c.
The funeral services are expected to
take place either next Monday or
Tuesday.

Edison Revisits
Scene of Early
Triumph in City
Creets Old Employees at Site
of Station in Pearl Street
Where New York's First
Electric Lighting Began

Thomas A. Edison visited New York
yesterday, for the first time in more
than two years. After attending a
luncheon in honor of Cardinal MERCER
at the Waldorf the inventor
returned to the scene of his early
labors.
He rode in an open automobile down
to 257 Pearl Street. the site of the
country's first underground central
lighting station. 1t was there that
Edison brought his great work to a
began the electric lighting of the city
September a, 1882.
On the thirtyffth anniversary of
this event the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation Society unveiled
a tablet of commemoration at the
Electrical Exposition of 1917. There
was a notable gathering of Edison's
early associates, city officials and men
prominent in the electrical industry,
but Edison was not there. His war
work kept him too close to his labo-
ratory.
After the exposition the tablet was
placed on the building on the site Of
the old station. When the plant was
opened the company had fifty-nine GUS
toners. There were 1884 incandescent
lamps on the system and 250-candle
power illumination cost $1.01 for a
period of four hours. To-day the
watersde stations of the New York
Edison Company supply current to
100000 customers who have 100000
lamps on the system and $50, 900
horsepower in motors. The same illu-
mination that cost more than a dollar
thirty-seven years ago now costs seven
cents.
The Pearl Street station was de-
stroyed by fire in the early ninetes
and the city's supply Of electric light
ing current was completely cut off.
But it took Mr.. Edison just eleven days
to rig up another plant and resume the
service.
Some of the employees who helped
him do this were waiting yesterday
afternoon on Pearl Street. AS soon
as Mr.. Edison stepped from his ma
chine he was surrounded by these
workers who had been with him in the
old days. Mrs. Nellie Curran, of 6S
East Twenty-seventh Street, still in the
service of the company after thirty
eight years, was among the first to
reach the inventor. II. A. Campbell,
who helped Mr.. Edison start the work
on the Pearl Street station. was an
other. The old employees gathered
around as Mr.. Edison read the tablet
and We'd with one another to shake his
hand
w. II. Meadowcroft, Mr. Edison's
secretary, introduced the employees in
turn and told of their length of SER
vice. Smilingly he greeted each one.
