AWAITS SEVERAL
NOTABLE EVENTS
Wall Street Fixes Eyes on
Meeting of Rail Di-

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-While de-
velOpments outside of the stock
market Tuesday were ofgittle note,
several events of Importance are in
store for today, prin cipally the meet
ing here of the Van Sweringen
brothers and the Pere Marquette di-
rectors' meeting. Stocks Tuesday
turned irregular near the close after
continuing their upward movement
earlier in the session. Several nota-
bic gains were scored, however, and
the confidence in the market did not
appear to have been badly shaken.
Just now the market, after
month or more of irregularity and
professional manipulation is prone
to hair-trigger changes either way.
With an almost unwieldy short inter-
est involved, bears are willing to go
to any length to prevent an advance,
and the bullish element has not been
given a strong enough tool to pry the
market out of its rut except for brief
intervals.
Rail Meetings
Wall Street was in an eXpectant
mood over the probable outcome of
the Nickel Plate meeting, the belief
being that the long delayed merger
plan might be accepted by the vari-
Gus roads involved. Feb. l was the
deadline set by the Cleveland broth
ers for the presentation of a new
plan, and that. passed, Pere Mar
quette directors are no longer
obliged by gentleman's agreement
to withhold dividend action. Incl
dentally Pere Marquette's meeting is
also to be held today, and if no fur.
Their action is taken on the new
Nickel Plate line an extra dividend
may be declared even though this
meeting is not for such purpose.

BoRGIAs DIDN'T USE POISON.
Historians Find No Evidence of
Killing by This Method.
From the Kansas CITY Times.

From the Kansas CITY Times
1t is difficult to vision the Borgias-
Caesar and Pope Alexander VI--apart
from their venomed rings, drugged
cakes and toxic chalices--even though
Gregorovius, as long ago as the sew
enties, forced the world to acquit their
daughter and sister Lucrezia of the
charges of murder by poison. 1t ap-
pears now, however. that these subtle
slayers and their magical drugs are
merely creatures of gossip
The Borgias did lot of killing. but
they seem never to have used the
poisoning method. Theirs was an
age in which all Europe was excited
over alchemical experiments. when
every one believed in magic formulas
and chemical miracles. Poisoning
was then often employed by princes.
potentates, hierarchs. and still more
frequently by discontented wives. Ac-
cordingly, it was the instinct Of the
public to attribute every death not
clearly explicable by the limited medi-
cal science of the times to some MUIR
derous bane.
1t appears clear now that the poi
soning yarns are largely, if not alto
gether. fiction. They arose, with a
large mass of other sea ndalous stories,
out of hatred, envy and love of
gossip. There is no real evidence to
show that the Borgias ever used
poison.

Many disabled veterans OF the
World War receiving compensation
from the Veterans Bureau, who are
continuing in force their Government
insurance. do not know that they
have the privilege of having that bu-
reau deduct their insurance premiums
from their regular compensation
checks, thereby eliminating the neces-
sity of sending their insurance pre-
miums each month, thus avoiding any
chance of permitting their insurance
to lapse because of non-payment of
premiums, according to officials of the
American Legion. A plan, has been
formulated by the bureau. after con-
ference with leaders of veterans or.
ganizations, to cover this situation,
and is now awaiting final approval of
Gen. Frank 7. Hines, director of the
bureau. This plan provides that
special form be inclosed with each
compensation check mailed in a given
month in all regional offices of the
bureau, informing disabled veterans
that premiums on their United States
Government life insurance may be
deducted from compensation pay

ments or training, allowances''-in-
stead of rendering direct remittances
to the bureau.
1t is believed that this method of
paying premiums is a far more de-
sirable and practical one and would
unquestionably avoid the lapsing of
Government insurance contracts. 1t
is appreciated that many disabled
veterans are in Government hospitals
and find it inconvenient to forward
premiums to the bureau on their in
surance regularly. Because of this
ii is believed that the plan suggested
would not only be beneficial to the
veteran receiving disability compen-
sation, but to the interest of the Gov
