To Dim New Year Revel
Hotels Select Night of January
10 for Final Farewell to
John Barleycorn

According to managers of some of the
plarge local hotels like the Waldorf
Astoria, Claridge. McAlpin, Majestic
and others, the celebration of prohibi-
tor, eve promises to surpass any New
York event in the history Of New York
City, judging by the rush Of applications
for reserved tables for the night of
January 16.
1t looks like big night for the
funeral of John Barloycorn, even
though some hotels have as yet re-
) ceived few demands for reservations.
For time the managers were doubtful
on what night to hold the celebration.
on the eve Of the 10th or on the eve
of the 18th, but finally decided that
since the 18th was the last day it
would be best to have the celebration
on the night of the 10th.
The patrons will carry to the tables
their own wines and alcoholic LIQUORS
and celebrate in public for the last
time "the passing Of the old, the com
ing Of the new And ali the liquor
must be consumed by midnight.

Grand Jury Takes Up
Strike Plot Again
Union Counsel and Local Leader
Called by Inquisitors; Swami
Also Is Heard

The extraordinary grand jury yester-
day apparently switched back to its in
quiry into the alleged Interborough
strike conspiracy and the allied cover
shadowing crime"
Among those who were called into the
grand jury room were Lsuis j. Fridiger,
counsel for the Amalgamated Associa
tion Of Street and Electric Railways
Employees Of America, and Patrick j.
Shea, Of it's executive board, who is in
charge of the organization in this city.
1t was explained the jury wished to
question them in the case Of "the Peo-
pie agt. Frank H. Hedley ct al.," the
inquiry started following Mayor Hy-
lan's charges that Interborough Of
ficials conspired with their employees
to force increased fares through the
recent subway strike.
the I. R. T. brotherhood, also appeared
before the jury.
Fridiger and Shea were asked
whether they would waive immunity.
They agreed to do so and left the jury
room after short talk with the men,
bers. 1t is believed they will return
to-day.
Rumors that the jury was contem-
plating request that it be dismissed
were. dissipated yesterday, when Ray
mond F. Almirall, the foreman, an
nounced the jury would remain in ses-
sion until all business before it was
finished.
District Attorney Swami also ap-
peared before the Almirall panel at
that body's request yesterday. This is
the first time the District ATTORNEY ha 9
gone before the jury in more than a
month. Before entering the jury room
Mr.. Swami, whom the jury has sought to
oust as it's legal adviser, said he
thought the panel wished advice con-
cerning the sufficiency of the evidence
produced in regard to the possible COM
plicity Of persons in charge of the
Rand School in disseminating an
archistic literature.
The District Attorneys Office con-
tends that there is not sufficient evi-
dence In this case to indict, while the
jury is known to be anxious to go on
with the investigation.

Store Hours, 8 to S
Good morning!
This is January 8!
The weother today aUW
probably a0iW be raimy.
To make these
little corner
pieces

compliment ourselves is farthest
from our intention.
Indeed, to be frank about it, the
writer would regard it as an inn
pertinence upon the public if such
were fact.
Plainly speaking, while there
may be a touch of selhshness in
everything that most of us do, in
this particular matter of store max
ing and keeping the theory and
practice observed here is off the
beaten track, and though original
with ourselves, can be copied and
initiated anywhere and everywhere.
If what we are doing entities us
to distinction, it is because we are
doing something more than the
commonplace.
Copyists of Raphael or Murillo
were often disappointed in their
efforts, because they only copied
what their eyes saw, and could not
catch the spirit of the master
painter.
1t is not difficult to see figures
and initiate colors of picture, but
the other something in the paint
ing is often beyond analysis or
possibility of transfer.

State Bank Balance
To Be Four Million

Austin. Textile state of Texas
will have a balance of $4,420,75S in
it's treasury at the end OF the fiscal
year, according to estimates or the
controllers department this week. The
estimate is based upon new figures
by the department, which places the
total valuation Of property in Texas
at approximately s3,985, 100000 instead
Of $500, SS3,714, as estimated by the
tax board, and which gives the total
income from other sources as $9,2oO,-
600 instead of 1861 ,496.
Income from the ad valOrem tax OF
&c will be $6,33O,OO0, according to
the controllers department, and this,
added to the income from all other
sources and the surplus in the treas
ury at the beginning Of the year OF
$S,S40,758, would produce a total In
come of $24,42O,75S.
In fixing the tax rate Of 2oc per
500 valuation, the state tax board
estimates that the taxable values
would be only $500, 100000, and pro-
ceeds from ad valorem taxes based
upon these figures. together with the
tax board estimate of income from
other sources and the surplus, would
have made total income OF only
$19,211,726.
Outstanding warrants and appropria-
lions fixed by the controller will
amount to approximately $2O,OO0,OOO.
This would mean that under the tax
boards estimates the treasury would
have faced a deficit.
A considerable portion of the rev.
enue formerly yielded by the 40c tax
now is going to the apportionment for
schools, which was fixed in 1919 at
14.5c as against 75c in 1918.
