$40, 1000 YEAR NOT ENOUGH
Princeton Professor Asks Court
for Additional $4,000 Per An
mum to Support His Family.

New York. Oct S.-Professor Henry
Lane Emo, of Princeton, has confessed
his inability to provide a suitable"
home for his wife and two children on
$4,000 a year.
Professor Emo, formerly rated as
one of the wealthiest educators in the
United States, stated in a petition
filed in surrogate court that he had
met financial reverses six years ago
which had forced him to sell his es-
tate in Bar Harbor, Maine, and two
houses in thisacity.
Because his income had been re-
duced, he asked that 100000 and S12,-
600 be advanced to him annually, as
guardian for his children, out of the
estate of their uncle. Amos F. Emo,
whose will is being contested.
The educator set forth that, which
ever way the cat jumped, his children
will receive between s1,500,000 and
$4,000, 900.
The professors petition added that,
up to 1914, he had frequently. with
his wife and children, employed the
best instructors and Tutors in music,
foreign languages and science for the
education of the latter and gave them
the social and educational oppor-
tunities appropriate to their situation.
His reverses, the petition continues,
forced him to change his entire mode
of life.

Chicago Youth Stole $4,000
and Squanderod 1t.
StOrk Calls on Father-in-LaW,
Who Calls Cops.

Chicago, Oct. S.-CarI Steiler, Jr.,
prodigal son, came home after squan-
dering $4,000 loot obtained from d
mail robbery and Carl Steiler, ST.,
turned him over to the police. The
son is in a cell today and faces an ex-
tended prison term.
& Steiler was one of the four men who
stole 1924, 600 from the Standard Oil
company at Whiting. Ind, in Septem-
Der. 1919. The other three, John
Wedja and Leo and Walter Filpkow-
ski. already are serving prison sem
fences.
After the robbery. Steiler and Bessie
Jasiak, his sweetheart, fled. They
went to Los Angeles, where Ste:ler
spent money lavishly. bought dia-
monds. airplanes racing cars and gen
orally "cut a wide swath." He studied
aviation at the Sidney Chaplin Ayta-
ton school and later founded the In
ternational Aircraft corporation of
California. The concern shortly went
into bankruptcy.
Leaving Los Angeles, Steiler and his
bride went to Texas, where he became
a STUNT aviator. He smashed his
airplane, however, and eventually
went broke. The couple drifted to
Memphis, where Mrs. Steiler scrubbed
floors to keep food on their table.
With a visit from the stork expected
soon, the Steilers came back to chi
cago and appeared at the home of the
prodigaTs father. Steiler, Sr., took
down the telephone and called the
police.

Improved Railroad Inquiry

The Iron Age in its weekly review
of the steel situation says:
Railroad inquiry for rails for 1922
and what may be the beginning Of bet
ter buying of cars have appeared in the
past week. Otherwise the chief devel-
opmcntS in the steel market have been
in tin plate contracts for the first half
Of next year and some good business in
wrought pipe.
Tin plate buying came after n re-
duCtiOn in price on November > to
S4.75 per box and was in volume suf-
fcicnt to insure large operation Of
tin plate mills through the winter. Can
makcra bought for the first half of 1922
and iObbers for the first quarter.
"Rail inquiries for the next year in
cIude 100 900 tons for New York Cen
tral, with n possible 200, 900; also 40,
GOO tons for Norfolk and Western.
Pennsylvania Railroad is considering a
1920 quota Of $50, 900 tons. Thus far
leading interest has booked 100 600 tons
Of rails since the price was named.
"ConspiCuOus items in new fabricated
steel projects tOtal!ng $4,000 tons are

Maine bridge and railroad bridge at

amount to about 100, 900 tons in size.
able projects.
, weakness has developed in the pig
: iron market. particularly in buffalo,
Cleveland and Birmingham, and cOnCes
sions of SOC to 81 ton are reported.
Though the upward turn in produc.
tion came in July, further price deha-
tiOn on the present move Is recorded for
this week. The Iron Age composite for
| finished steel now stands at 2.13ic Il

the average for ten years before the

Western Money Rates Easier

Some further evidence of easing in
money rates in the West is diScerniDle
with the indication from now On toward
Lhe end of the year money will be avail
able on more advantageous terms. The
action of the Federal Reserve banks in
further reduction Of the rediscount
rate in the majority Of districts has
resulted in a better feeling in financial
circles in western sections of the coun-
Try.
The success Of the Treasury Depart
ment in floating its new issue Of AZ
and AZ per cent certificates evidently
lad some influential effect upon what
should be the proper level of rediscount
rates. The reserve ratio having reached
point we'll above the percentage nee
cssary to be carried against notes in
circulation. the opinion among mem
bers of the Federal Reserve was such
that a substantial reduction in discount
rates was in order.
Tho contraction Of loons and dis
counts among banks at the larger cen
ters have been going along steadily, and
owing to the forwardings of grain from
