with no indication Of any change other
than the perfectly natural slowing
down of deliveries during December
and January.
In commenting on the excellent bus
mess which the new Cadillac has en-
joyed, Mr.. Fisher seemed To feel that
as yet no gauge had been taken Of
its popularity or sales possibilities.
As TO the future, Mr.. Fisher feels
certain there is no indication OF dis
turbancc which will materially affect
business conditions during the first
half of the year.
BEYOND that, however. II Is his opin-
ion that any prediction is matter
of guesswork.
Attributing the constantly increas-
ing sales 20 national prosperity and
improving conditions abroad. Mr.. Fish.
err volunteered the information that
within the last few months he had
definitely changed his mind regarding
the market for cars selling at $4,000
and above.
Sales figures prove that more fine
cars have been sold in the past year
than ever before.
Talks with other automobile lead
ers will follow.

YESS|N|N, RUSS
POET, KILLS
HIMSELF
Ex-husband Of Dancer,
Isadora Duncan,
Ends Life.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.--LRl-Ser-
gel Yessinin. the eccentric Russian
poet, has committed suicide in Mos.
COW. He was the divorced husband
of 1sadora Duncan, the classic dane
er, whose emulation Of terpschore
while borcfooted and in dishabille
made her famous throughout III
world.
Yessinin was about 80 years old.
some ten years younger than Miss
Duncan. They were married in 1872.
and his wife divorced him last year.
Shortly after the wedding the young
Bolshevik writer came TO the United
States with the dancer and after some
trouble with the immigration authori
ties, they were permitted to enter the
country.
Miss Duncan went on n dancing
tour, visiting numerous cities but was
barred from appearing in several
places because of the scnntiness of
her attire and the added fact that she
was wont 10 wrap red flag abOut
her.
Yessinin accompanied his wife on
the tour and seemingly was mild
hammered youth. Then stories began
to break about his righteousness
when he partook too freely Of the
flowing bowl.
BLACKS ISADORA'S EYES.
At q party here Tessinin was de
clared to have Dlackened the eyes of
Miss Duncan, which prevented her
from carrying out one of her pro-
grams. A similar incident was re-
ported later from Paris and the dane
er was declared to have shipped him
post-haste back to Russia. Before
departing he engaged in fisticuffs
with a couple Of ex-Russian soldiers.
Yessinin got in trouble with the
police in Moscow for alleged anti
in prison. Miss Duncan, who has
also returned TO Russia, instituted a
divorce suit under the Soviet law and
was freed from Yessinin. She is de-
clarcd 10 have said that he was Elm
possible" and that Lincolnshire" made
him crazy.
Yossinin was tall and had curly
blonde hair and blue eyes. At the
beginning OF their honeymoon Miss
Duncan appeared to be highly pleas
ed with her choice. She described
him as the greatest poet since Rus
kin; the greatest genius since Edgar
Allen Poe. Hes man of spirit. a
lofty soul. He is my inspiration" de-
clared the dancer.
BABIES DROWN.
Later when Yessinin had allegedly
carried out one OF his pugilistic in
SEPARATIONS with the wife the receiver
in general, she was reported TO have
said:
Everybody knows he is crazy. He
is no more deserving OF tears than
laughter. He is better off in Russia
where he is loved. even if he is foolish.
He can c.lash things in Moscow and
nobody cares, because he is poet"
All has not been rosy for Miss
Duncan. She has been barred from
giving performances in the United
States, in Germany, in England and
other countries.
Her greatest sorrow, however, came
in April, 1918, when her two children
were drowned in the River Seine.
They were riding in their mothers
automobile, accompanied by maid.
The chauffeur descended from the car
to remedy some trouble, and the ma
chine started and ran over the en-
banbment and plunged into the river.
The children were Beatrice, >. and
Patrick, 8. The maid also was drown

GREATEST BANK

Create Huge Money
Institution.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-CR-
What may become the country's
largest bank, an institution rivallin
the gigantic financial institutions OF
London, began TO take vague shape
today out of the multitude of rumors
in Wall Street pointing to the mcT-
ger Of several existing banks ant
trust companies of New York City.
Given Impetus BY $50 rise in the
stock ~ the Mechanics and Metals
Bank. the report runs that con
solidation of that institution with
the Chase National Bank is imminent
as a preliminary step in the building
of large financial structure. John
McHugh, president Of the Mechani.
and Metals. admits that negotiation,
looking towards analgamahon have
begun.
FIVE MENTIONED.
Five other institutions are men
toned as being involved in the bank
ing venture which it is said Clarence
Dillon of Dillon, Read & Company.
is sponsoring. Their total resources
when and il combined-would be in
excess of S1,S00. 100000. The other
institutions mentioned are:
The Chatham & Phenix. the Ma.
tional Park, the Chemical National
and the Central Union Trust Com
pany.
1t is believed that the banks VIII
first be paired. :nd then after
period of readjustmeut be further
combined. Rising costs of BANKING
transactions and 4 stoppagc Of need
less competition are said 10 be the
chief motives behind the movement.

try's largest. with total resources of
