STOCK MARKET.

New York, Dec 1.-The week on
the stock exchange began with no
essential changes or indications that
general events were influencing the
prices. Aside from Anaconda, which
gained almost 2 points, and Crucible
Steel, at 3-point loss, which was
almost recovered, the net loss was
reduced to a fraction.
The news over the weekend was
conflicting and the opening of Con
gress caused the traders to assume
a waiting attitude, especially in view
of the continued urging from fnan-
cial houses to restrict as far as pos
sible transactions.

AN EPIDEMIC OF CAR STEALING

Saturday night there was an cpl
demic of car stealing in Wilson and
vicinity and our police were busy
yesterday looking for cars or endeav-
oring to apprehend those who had
taken them
About Z p. m. Saturday, F. D. Swim
dell left his car, a Hudson, in front
Of his mothers residence on Vance
street, and when he went out to use
it again he found it gone After no
tifying the authorities here and tel
ephoning around over the country,
the report came from the police of
Rocky Mount that his machine had
been left in front of a warehouse in
that city at a. m. yesterday, ami
that three men had been seen to
alight~ ~thereffom. Mr.. Swinde11 and
| party of friends went over after
| the car and found that it had been
| damaged to some extent by those
| who had purloinel it. While on the
way to Rocky Mount they passed a
| deserted Ford car in the road about
10 miles from w tson. The number
on this car is $3.50. AS to whether
this was one of two Fords stolen the
same night, we have not learned a
this writing. One of them belonged
to Mr.. James Eason and was taker
from in front of the moving picture
shows in Wilson while the other wa
the property of Mr.. G. T. Manning; o
near Bailey, and was taken from hi
garage. So you can't be too careful
with your cars, to leave them so 9th
ers can't run them.

New York, Dec. IA period of

dation of some two weeks ago. This

Trying to Draw Matter i'm Legal
Snarl

Washington, Dec. 1.-Renewing g
the request for the immediate re-
lease of Consular Agent Jenkins,
who was imprisoned at Puebla, the
United States government charac-
terises the defense of the Mexican
government as a studied attempt to
draw the matter into a legal snarl
for the purpose of getting the
Mexican people and the American
people away from the true facts in
the case namely that Puebla the sec
ond largest city in Mexico is over
run by bandits and that the Mexican
government is remiss in it's duty.
The note further goes no to say
that it is the wilful purpose of the
Mexican government to turn an in
different ear to the fact that it has
outraged diplomatic courtesy an
subjected American subjects "a
American officials to the indignities
of Imprisonment and the suffering
both mental and physical incident
thereto.

THE NATIONAL ISSUES

(R. E. Powell, in News and Observer)
Washington, Dec. flames Thos.
Hef1in, the Big Bertha of the Demo
cratic speaking forcessin the country,
will take the ninth district next week
along with Senator ]. r Robinson to
warm up'' for the battle coming
after the national convention next
June
Senator Robinson and Congressman
Hefiin will probably go in the ninth
district and speak as the district
committee may direct. The Demo-
cratic national committee has not
been called on for any assistance in
the ninth, neither has the congress
sional committee; but in view of the
fact that Mr.. Fess and his associates
Ian an intensive campaign, the con-
gressional committee is ready to meet
any issue that the Republicans may
inject.

course, charge the defeat of the peace
treaty to the Democrats. Chairman
Hays and Representative Fess may
choose to send Representative Rod
enberg and other bitter partisans in
to the North Carolina district Such
a prospect is the principal reason fol
the selection of Mr.. Hefiin and Sena
tor Robinson.
Most everybody in North Caroline
knows Tom Hef1in. He has made {
great many speeches in the state
Senator Robinson is not as wei
known among the people of the state
but is veteran campaigner of Kan
sas. For speed, he has it on an.

member of the House, governor o

If the Republicans want to tax

SMALL PAPERS SURE TO COME

New York, Dee. 1.-Smaller news
papers better newspapers and hlgher
priced newspapers is today's best pre-
diction. There is not enough news
print paper to go around. So the
average newspaper must be made
smaller in size. To atone for this re-
duction the quality is to be bettered
by more careful editing. The price
of the newspapers must be increased
because the pennies paid by the sub
scribep today actually do not cover
the cost of the white paper in many
instances. The cost of newspaper pro-
duction has increased 100 per cent
in the past year.

 ~ to take from Ambroise, France, and e-inter at Santa Croce, Florence. the mortal remains of Leonardo Da Vinci
 A special dispatch to the New York Times says that France would not object to the removal. but notes that great doubt exists as to the authenticity of the re- mains, because all marks were removed in the period of the French revolution. I. adds: "Leonardo is the only great ltal- ian whose bones still lie in foreign soil." This seems to be historical slip. Leo nardo was a great man. artist, military engineer, anatomist, supposed discoverer of the circulation of the blood, inventor of the hydrometer and the science of ny craulics, meteorologist, astronomer; nav ing a range of mind perhaps only equaled in human history by Benjamin Franklin But he was no greater than benlamih Fra nkln, in the common judgment of hu- nanjty And while Da Ninci was paint
