WOMEN WHO WON.

At the November election two
women were elected governors, Mrs.
Miriam Ferguson, governor of Texas,
and Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, COVER
nor of Wyoming. One woman, Mrs.
Florence E. S. Knopp, Secretary Of
State for New York, and Mrs. Mary
T. Norton of New Jersey goes to
Congress. Thirty-six states elected
women to the state legislatures, 119
to the House and to the Senate.
The Woman Citizen in speaking OF
the election says: women governors
are the great novelty of this election.
Both of the women governors came to
their high honors through unusual cir
cumstances, and with their husbands
as factors. 1t is true that neither
case is an Atwood feminist triumph.
Yet both women were freely chosen
by the people, with plenty of chance
to choose otherwise, and the election
means a remarkable advance in the
political recognition of women. To
realize it, one has only to remember
the fuss made over women mayors a
few short years ago. And the fact
that two great states in whatever
circumstances, have given to women
the highest political Office in the coun-
try next to that of President, will
make it easier hereafter for other
women to succeed wholly on their own
records. Texas is perhaps more
amazing than Wyoming because
Wyoming gave women the right of
suffrage away back in 1869, first of all
the states in the Union.
Mrs. Ross is of old Southern stock,
born in st. Joseph, Missouri. She is
about forty, gracious, of striking APP
pearance and fine poise; the mother
of three sons. Two of them, twins,

cent paper will dirty it's columns with
this rot. In the first place, it is said,
Loeb will write concerning his own
beliefs about life. He has shown al
ready what they are, vicious and de-
generate. He does not believe in
moral law. We want no such stuff
in our newspapers. And murderers,
doing time for brutal crimes, ought
not to be allowed to write articles for
the press. They should be treated
humanely, but not pampered and
made heroes of, and given publicity
which will tend to soften in the puD-
lie minds thei" atrocious acts.-Slay-

no material success in life, or who
| is a Socialist or single-taxer, or a
constant critic of bankers, big bust
ness and the whole financial structure
of today, offers suggestions as to
ways of carrying on practical affairs
or the proper attitude of moneyed
men toward the rest Of the commun-
ity, one is Immediately tempted to
ptuously.
The tendency is to ascribe the Of
fered suggestions to envy or prejudice,
or pure ignorance of the subjects in
volved, and to give no heed to the
actual worth of the ideas advanced.
When, however, man who has
been conspicuous success in bank
ing and finance presents thoughts on
the personal conduct and general at
titude advisable for business men to
assume and use, one is likely to listen
very carefully and to give much
weight to what he says.
Otto H. Kahn and an address he
gave recently before the Harvard
Business School club in New York
furnish an interesting case in point.
Mr.. Kahn is not only a successful
New York banker with an interna-
tional reputation, but he is known as
an active participant in public and
political affairs and as patron of
the arts, particularly of music.
So he seems to possess a combina-
ton of practically and idealism that
should give any advice he may offer
to young aspirants for business sue
cess unusual weight.
In his message to young business
men, Mr.. Kahn condensed his ideas
into few sharp and cogent points. !"
They were of extreme value to his
young" hearers, and they would be
of immense benefit to business men
of all ages, if considered carefully
and then put into practice. Here are
some of them:
Remember that the most SER
viceable of all assets is reputa-
ton.
Go for a ride on the horse of
your Imagination from time to
time. But remember it's a high
strung animal and needs keeping
under careful control.
Be neighborly, be a good sport.
Don't think you can lift yourself
up by downing others.
Work hard. Presumably you
have ideals; keep them. Don't
become cynical. Don't scott
Don't lose faith.
Take an interest and a due
share in public affairs. Business
cannot prosper unless the ship of
state is run on a steady keel and
steered with competence.
If the so-called capitalistic
system is to continue, as l be-
lieve it will and should, it is par
ticularly incumbent on those
whom it places in positions of
business leadership to exercise !
self-restraint and consideration
for others. Be patient, courteous.
helpful, conciliatory. Avoid os-
tentation Abhor purse pride and
arrogance.
All these hints are helpful and
forceful, but perhaps the last is most
important of them all.
Imagine what criticism, just and
unjust, would be disarmed and dis
appear, if all business and financial
! leaders should exercise self-restraint
and consideration for others, and
should avoid and abhor ostentation,
purse pride and Observation-Disclosures

MERGER
Minority Stockholders Refus-
ed Injunction by Court
at Richmond

RICHMOND. Va, March 26.-
minority stockholders in the Chesa.
peake and Ohio railway, who are
endeavoring to prevent the merger
Of the road with a number Of others
under the direction Of the Van
Swer1ngen brothers, received set
back today when Judge William A.
Moncure, in Chancery court, denied
their, petition for an injunction to
prevent q stockholders meeting
scheduled here for March 80.
The stockholders meeting to be
held here is for the ostensible pur.
pose Of passing upon a proposal to
lease quarters to the MCKEE Plate
system, one OF the roads in the
proposed merger. The minority
stockholders made 1t a test case,
and sought the injunction.
In denying the injunction sought,
Judge Moncure said he did so with
the understanding that In the event
the lease 10 approved on March 80,
no effort will be made to execute
1t until he has had time to consider
more fully several legal questions
raised in the argument in his court.
One Of these questions involves
the right or the Interstate Com.
merce Commission to pass upon the
validity of the merger, rather than
the court itself.
While the decision seemingly
represented a victory for the Van
Sweringen merger plans, actually
the broad question Of the legality OF
the whole project was left for
future determination.
Ine Van Sweringen plans cal
for the combination Of the Chesa
peake and Ohio, the Hooking Valley
the Nickle Plate, the Erie, and the
Pere Marquette. This would create
a trunk system in the East, whose
valuation Is placed at 81, 500 900 900

noted in a number Of the active
industrial stocks, including the

ton of the oil stocks, led to a

NJ A n MISSING
SINCE LAST
TUESDAY
Benjamin Franklin Adams Had
Been III, May Have Wan
dered Into Woods

The mysterious disappearance of
Benjamin Franklin Adams, of
Silver Springs, Montgomery county,
Maryland, Is causing alarm to mem
bers Of his family and friends. Mr..
Adams is a well-known Montgomery
county resident and his home is
near Silver Springs, on the road
between Wheaton and -Four
Corners.
He disappeared from home last
Tuesday night. following illness,
and Mrs. Adams and members Of
the family have been unable 70
get any trace of him since. It ID
feared he may have wandered into
the woods in that region Of the
county and lost his life in the cold
and rain of last week. He was
about sixty years Of age, was en-.
gagged in farming and fruit-growing
and when last seen wore blue
overalls; an army trench coat, and
cap. His hair was white and he
wore q full white beard. He was
five feet and six inches In height.
Mr.. Adams was q veteran Of the
regular army, had spent part Of his
life at sea, and was widely read
and well-educated. It was thought
possible he might have gone to the
hospital at the Soldiers Home here
for treatment, as he sometimes did,
but inquiry there has failed to
locate him. Mrs. Adams, who ID
greatly distressed over her hus.
bands disappearance, requested to-
day that If he was located she be
notified by phone at Woodside.

BOARD OF ACcoUNTANCY

In refusing a mandamus asked
for by H. Ely Goldsmith, certified
public accountant of New York,
against the Board Of Accountancy
of the District, Justice Robb OF the
Court of Appeals has held that
the board could not be required TO
accept the New York certificate
because the terms Of comfy be-
tween the District of Columbia and
that State in reference to account
ancy certificates are not 1denical
The court, however, took occa-
sion to advise the board that 1t
must permit applicants to inspect
any papers containing charges
against them so that they may
make refutations Of. such allega-
tons.
Although the applicant is en-
titled to inspect the papers. said
the court, he has no right to con-
sumo the time of the board in m
specting the files OF other appli-
cants. The granting Of right is
one thing, said Justice Robb. while
the qualification of mere curiosity
is quite another.

EARTHQUAKES
DISCOUNTED
Father Tondorf, Of George
town, Takes Little Stock
In Italians Claim

Little significance is attached by
the Reverend Father Tondorf
director of the Georgetown siesmo'
graphic laboratory and a noted
authority on earth disturbances, to
the predictions Of Professor
Bendandi, the italian earthquake
diviner.
While Father Tondorf does not
say that Bendandi's predictions OF
earthquakes occurring at stated
time are untrue, he said today the
prophesies Of the Italian are not
regarded as Of real value by men
high in the scientific world.
az am not acquainted with
Bendandi's methods" said Father
Tondorf today when shown re-
port Of the Italians predictions
land so am not In position
to state whether his predictions are
true or untrue.
However, If he has discovered q
system for foretelling when these
disturbances are to occur, he
should be big enough to make ii
known to the scientific world. /"
Father Tondorf said that
Bendandi's predictions have stirred
up considerable discussion among
scientific men in Italy as to their
accuracy.
He read a letter from Doctor
G. Agamennone, Of the Geodynamic
and Geophysical Observatory Rocca
di Papa, OF Rome, in which the
professor, referred to the "fallacy
of the prophecies Of Bendandi" and
pointed out numerous occasions
when the predictions Of the
"diviner" were not borne out by
subsequent disturbances.
