The Rail Labor Problem,

While the statement that the return OF
the railroads will be orderly and subject
to due notice is reassuring the final and
fundamental problem is that of the re-
lation OF rail wages to net operating in

vor OF continuing the present rate scale
after the expiration Of Governmental
control. but there Is no assurance that
Congress or the Interstate Commerce
Commission will permit the rate struc-
ture to stand for any considerab BILE period
The railroad men. fearing that the Ad-
ministration will duck the moral re-
sponsibility of readjusting wages to meet
lessened income. are planning ener-
getic measures TO force the settlement
of the problem OF railroad wages upon
the Federal Railroad Administration, to
which they say the real responsibility
belongs. One OF the real reasons of the
struggle for an extension of Federal con-
troll until January 1. 1924. Is said to lie
in the labor problem, and former Direc-
tor-General McAdoo's proposal to turn
the roads back on March II he didn't

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Driving In the shorts.

The popular theory in, Wall, Street
that yesterdays upward swing was the

the loan crowd yesterday afternoon that
there was absolutely no business In their

borrowed were returned, It was said.
and there was no new business to make
up the declinq The consensus OF opin-
ion seems to be that there Is still a

An Exchange Speculation.

ulated on the profits he has made for

has speculative possibilities. It is pay
able in Paris at $50. but the notes must
be forwarded by October /. The specu-
lation lies in the course OF French ex-
change. Should exchange on Paris get
up TO the normal practical parity OF $50
francs to the dollar the notes would be
worth close TO l0s. The value OF the
notes. therefore. depends upon the rate
of exchange. which in turn may be az

REAL MISCHIEF CONCEALED IN
 NEW WEAPON

If purveyOrs of vicious weapons were ir the habit of advertising their wares, this narrative would constitute fine testimonial for a new form of hardware, designed to induce the same effects on the victim as wood alcohol.
 R. B. Singleton, colored, ex-soldier, now an inmate of the county jail, is the exponent of the newer meanness. Possibly he learned it from some disciple of Hunnishness.
 A nickel plated brass knob, evil dently the handle of some valve on a piece of machinery, formed the busi. ness end of the bludgeon with which Singleton is accused of having paid his score for a nights lodging with Charlie Nun, a Jerome Chinaman.
 Attached to the knob was lengti of rag, so twisted as to form a flexible handle Swung by its tail, the weapon was most deadly, as the bloody con dition of the cloth proved when eX amined at the sheriff's office yester- day.
 Singleton is said to have taken ref uge i'll one of Nuns cots the other evening. The following morning, Nun awakened him and requested CD that he remove his muddy shoes from the cot: @ that he get out himself, and (3) that he pungle up the sum ot half a dollar. Singleton's answer IS said to have been a whirlwind of blows with the knob.
 Nun was taken to a hospital and examined by physicians, who declar- ed that it was a perfect marvel that he survived the deadly beating. Singleton was charged with felon- ous assault and remanded to the GUS tody of the sheriff pending bail, which being fixed at $1OO, bids fair to in fuence his stay with the county until justice has been satisfied.
 He was brought to the city yester- day by Charlie Sauer, who also brought in a man named A. D. Lyons, accused of forgery. Lyons is said to have issued a number of small checks all of them worthless. It is under stood he was got out of similar difficulty recently, but that the habit of gambling and patronizing boot leggers got him into the clutches of the law again.

GREAT MEDICO'S LIFE ENDS; WAS WIDELY KNOWN
 CANADIAN
CBy Associated Press)

OXNFORD, England, Dec. 29 - Sir William Osler, the noted physi- clan, died today here after an illness of several weeks.
 Dr. Osler was one of the great men who sprang from Canadian soil. He placed the imprint of his skill on the entire medical profession, and i'll a few years came to be accepted as an authority in medical science
 His great art was that of diagnosis and a deep knowledge of the parts of the human body and their functions and disorders. He was, if it can be so termed, a specialist in all departments of medicine.
 In 1905 at a commemoration of the birth of John Hopkins, Dr. Osler spoke of the comparative uselessness of men above 40 years of age. These words, spoken without thought of how they might be taken, passed around the world in garbled form, and the statement was attributed to him that men past that age were of no value in human progress, and that men past the age of 60 should be chloroformed.

 The declaration, framed at a con- ference with President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, declared it the sense of organized railway employees that penalty clauses in pending railroad legislation against workers ceasing their employment, should be eliminated.
 There were reports in congression- al circles today that some railway executives were opposed to the labor section of the Cummins bill and later it was suggested that this may have been one of the questions discussed by Mir. Gompers and Mir Willard
 Elimination of the section, said senators and representative oppos- ing it, would make it possible for the conference to reach a speedy agree mcnt

Perkins and Paul Moore since the war, the latter two serving at diff ferent army camps. The event coy cred several days and the menu was turkey, beef and mutton galore, by day and night, and with a chaser of every vintage in which the soft drink was devoured. The intervening time was devoted to dancing, music and range riding, and the buddies gave their thrilling experiences in lining up for action. One of the guests stated that the bird odor had a distinctive touch of the wild flavor, but this could not be so, as the Lead of the Perkins household was in the last legislative assembly and helped to close the turkey season long before Christmas and if one got into the oven with the tame bird 1t must have strayed in from the range to get some of the good eats in the coop.

DOCTOR REFUSES BAIL; KILLED
 CHARGE
By Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. 29.-Dr. Christopher s. Schott, charged with killing Miss Elizabeth Ford Griffith. his office assistant and central figure in the most mysterious Louisville murder case in many years, refused to furnish $l0,000 bail bond at the conclusion of arguments on motion for bail in the police court today and elected to stay in jail pending his ex- animation trial later in the week.
 Dr. Schott's attorneys asserted the amount was excessive in view of the showing that has been made for their client by Laurine Gardner. a girl of l3, who has asserted that she was in the physicians company, delivering Christmas presents at the time it is believed Miss Griffith was shot and killed.
 A feature in connection with this case was police announcement that Dr. Schott, in effect, had advocated a trial marriage between Miss Griffith. his One-tirne fance, and soldier. The theory of pr. Schott. according to this version was that such marriage would fit her eventually to become his wife

VERDE ID DIG BURNING
 COPPER OUT
By Associated Press)

JEROME, Dec. 29-The fire. which for more than twenty years has burned in the upper levels of the United Verde copper mine, here, IS about to be eliminated by a drastic process of lowering the entire surface of the property to a 400-foot level All attempts to extinguish 1t have failed.
 It is the general opinion that the fire was started by a slip in the rock producing sufficient friction heat to ignite the ores rich in sulphur. It has burned its way through veins of copper, gold and sulphur
 The process of suppressing the fire involves the removal of l4,000000 cubic yards of material. The area to be evacuated is roughly estimated at 400 by 500 feet Monster steam shovels are to be employed in the work
 It is expected that the task of re- moving the entire top of the mine, and to extinguish the fire, will occupy several years.
