Picturesque Stock Trader Sells Seat
After q Years on New York Exchange

On the floor Of the exchange he
worked so fast that fellow members
operating at the same post, often were
unable to tell whether he was long
or short of any particular stock.
Some of the operations amazed his
associates by their magnitude and
daring. One of his most tempestuous
battles was with the famous Jesse L.
Livermore. When Livermore and his
followers sold Baldwin Locomotive,
Field bought all that was offered,
caught the Livermore followers short
and forced them to settle.
Mr.. Field started as a messenger
boy and wtas trader in the old open
curb market before buying his Stock
Exchange seat. His speculations be-
gan with $40 bill given him when a
messenger boy, as a reward for with
holding a deposit from q bank that
failed.

CHILEANS MAY APPEAL.

Procedure followed by the Chileans
thus far in their protests against Gen
Pershing's handling of the prelim-
inaries for the Tacna-Arica plebiscite
was said by informed officials here
today to lay the proper groundwork
for an appeal to President Coolidge
as arbitrator, although the intention
of the Chilean government to present
such an appeal has not been indi-
Gated.
Inasmuch as Augustin Edwards, the
Chilean member of the plebiscitary
commission, has not withdrawn from
the commission, but merely refrains
from attending sessions, no compli-
cation has been put in the way of
the orderly procedure toward an ap-
peal If Chile desires to go over the

STATUS SEEMS UNCHANGED.
Some Expect to See Peace Moves
Soon, However.

PHILADELPHIA, November 25 Ho).
-DesDite the activity of various in
teraStS to bring about a resumption Oh
the wage negotiations between rep
resentativeS of the anthracite miners
and operators, the situation, on the
surface at least, appeared unchanged
today.
There were some, however who
held to the belief that way soon
would be found to bring the two sides
together and that the end of the long
suspension was in sight. The more
pessirhistic could see no significance
in the recent move of leading opera
tors and union officials, nor did they
entertain any hope of a settlement
through the efforts of outside inter
eStS.
Reports from Scranton last night
said that Gov. Pinchot had again sum-
moned Maj. w. w. Inglis, chairman
of the anthracite operators scale
committee, to Harrisburg to discuss
the suspension. Maj Ingls said he
expected to meet the governor today.
Keeps i'm Close Touch.
1t is known that Gov. Pinchot has
been keeping in close touch with the
situation. He had upon two occasions
conferred separately with Maj. lnghs
and John L. Lewis, but beyond the
statement that the strike was under
consideration none of the conferees
divulged what took place. What the
State executive had in mind when he
invited Maj. Inglis to confer with him
again today could not be learned.
The governor had retired for the night
when the fact became known and
his secretary said that he was not
even aware that the invitation mad
been sent.
Mr.. Lewis said today that he had
received no word regarding the gov
ernor's plans Mr.. Pinchot was in
Philadelphia yesterday for several
hours, but he did not see the miners
leader.
Puts Blame on Operators.
Declaring that the mine workers
had made overtureS to the operators
for a resumption of the wage negotia-
lions, Mr.. Lewis placed the blame for
The continuance of the strike on the
operators He called attention to his
statement last week in which he Of
fered to resume negotiations on a
give and take" basis and said that
the offer had been ignored by the
mine owners.
Meanwhile, the supply of anthracite
coal rapidly is becoming exhausted.
The shortage has forced many per-
sons to resort to substitutes, the price
of which. in most sections has ad-
vanced far beyond the normal cost Of
hard coal. In the homes of those
who cannot afford to pay the price
most coal bins are empty and some
suffering already has been reported.

NEW YORK, November 25.-Il
health has driven from the New York
Stock Exchange one OF its most active
and picturesque floor traders.
Jacob Field, known generally as
"Jakie," has sold his seat after So
wears in Wall street and q years on
the big board. incidentally he got
s152, 1000 for the seat, the highest price
on record. 1t is the second time that
he has set q record for stock exchange
seats, for the $19 900 he paid for 1t in
1898 was a record then.
Although he won and lost millions
in Wall street, a cubby hole in a

operated as a free lance, and needed
only enough space to answer a few
letters and telephone calls each day.

POLICE Modified
FOR BANDIT HUNT
Entire Force to Concentrate
on Capture of Master
Criminal Here.

Washington Police Department
detectives, footmen, motor cycle,
bicycle and mounted forces-was dedi-
Gated today to the specialized search
for the bandit who has furnished
police with long list of neatly plan
ned and deftly executed holdups and
robberies in the last month. This is
done despite the prevalent belief that
the bandit has forsaken Washington
for the time being.
Detectives, who already have been
doing IA to 16 hours a day duty
since the ever increasing reports of
hold-ups, today had their days "off"
duty withdrawn-a provision reserved
for special emergencies-and Inspec-
tor Grant has issued orders that they
are to be on d.lty every possible hour,
only necessary time for sleep except
ed. until some definite trace of the
whereabouts of the bandit is un-
covered.
Brought to Head Yesterday.
Three deft criminal operations yes
terday-in which $500 in cash and
jewelry and an automobile were
stolen, one man being shot, a woman
bound and gagged, and another wom-
an and man bound up with neckties
during robberies-resulted in Maj. Ed
win 3. Hesse, chief of police, taking
the situation under personal super
vision today.
He issued special instructions to
every precinct commandant to keep
men specially posted on lookout
posts for possible scenes of banditry
operations. He appeared at roll call
when the detective force, grim and
drawn from steady night work since
Saturday, gathered to confer general
ly on the case this morning, and urged
them on with words of confidence
and praise for their activities. which,
he said. had been unproductive thus
far only by adverse strokes of for
tune.
May Issue Warning.
Throughout the city, indications
coming to police clearly infer, special
cautions are being taken wherever
large sums of money are stored, trans
ported or held in hand temporarily.
Maj. Hesse. it is understood, is con-
sidering issuing a general warning
for care on the part Of civilians han
ding money, and request for the
general assistance of the public in any
emergency coming to the attention of
any individual will probably be made
in the near future.
If there had been quicker action on
the part of an employe in the delica.
lessen store of Jack Heros, at 2O16 P
street yesterday, some advantage
might have been gained over the ban
dit. The bandit entered this store
early in the afternoon and attempted
to hold up Heros while Maurice Lane,

ploye, was in the rear. Heros struck

NO ALARM CAUSED
BY STRIKE THREAT
Most of Soft Coal Fields Not
Unionized, Officials Here
Declare.

There is little occa sion for alarm to
householderS in the possibility of
sympathetic strike in the bituminous
coal fields, according TO fuel experts
here. The unionized districts of the
soft-coal industry constitute small
proportion of the entire field, and the
open districts could quite comfortably
take care of the public demand from
now until mild weather approaches,
they say.
On every hand there is a growing
appeal to the public now to stay in
the fight against high anthracite
prices until the finish. High Govern
ment officials declared today that If
the people can get through this Win
ter without hard coal. the anthracite
monopoly will be dealt a hard blow.
Then. as a result of its being thrown
in direct competition with bituminous
coal, the prices of both grades must
drop, it was said.
Supply in Yards.
Most of the yards of the local retail
dealers have a comfortable quantity
of both soft coal and coke. In the
latest bulletin of the Coal Merchants
Board of Trade it is stated that 10S,
044 tons of bituminous fuel had been
delivered in Washington during the
month of October. Although official
figures are not available, 1t is safe to
say that at least the same amount has
been shipped here thus far this
month.
A statement just issued by the Ma
tional Coal Association, the bitumi
nous operators organization, adds fur
ther substantiation of the statements
of Government officers that the Ma
ton can carry on in comfort through
not only the existing anthracite strike,
but a possible bituminous walkout as
we'll Although some curtailment of
waste may be necessary in the latter
event, no suffering is anticipated.
The National Coal Association es-
Inmates that during the coal year,
which will end March 81, the country
will have consumed 100000 tons
of .bituminous coal. OF this supply
there were 100000 tons in the con-
sumers' bins last April l. and there
had been harvested up to August 81

mage actually in sight the day before
