SMOKING MAKES
CLUB SQUABBLE
Modern Chicago Women Get
Edge in Row and Put
In Ash Trays

CHICAGO, July 18.-(P-When
the Chicago Women's club moved
into S1,15O,O00 of the very latest in
clubhouses, there was an old-fash-
Toned squabble to mark the event
and it isn't settled yet.
The battle was between modernS
and mid ictorian5 over cigaret
smoking, with finances giving odds
to the moderns.
The moderns somehow got the
idea Gall wrong, it seems), that the
smoking question went out with
hatpins, and prevailed upon the
house committee to install indi-
vidual ash trays in the luxurious
new clubrooms.
Then Mrs. Howard Kretschmar, 4
member Of 40 years standing,
Sauntered in. She was startled by
blush smoke which would have
Mortified the elite group of Chicago
women who founded the club.
There ought to be one fine club
that does not c~ountenance smok-
ing" she said, "and I do not be-
lieve the best element in the club
approves Of the vicious habit.
Smoking lowers the tone Of the
club, for one thing: I hate to see 3
woman smoke and I'm sure men
hate it more"
But the modern woman smokes"
another member, Mrs. w. F..
Grower, rejoined, "and she will go
where it is convenient to do so.
This club is modern, sort Of half
way between an old-time woman'S
club and an up-to-date sports
club"
Mrs. Grower says she does not
smoke, thinks it doesn't look nice,
but believes each woman has the
right to decide for herself.
Whether it is pretty or healthful,
the question has an important eco
nomic side, which may decide it.
I'VE have to rent the club to
outside organizations to help make
up the debt Of $450,O00," Mrs.
Grower pointed out. IF we ban
smoking we will lose this patron
age, which we need very much"

For Protection Of

WASHINGTON, July 1872
Original thoughts and ideas will
become the sole property Of the Gre
ators instead of the property Of the
world at large if a resolution Of
Senator King of Utah is adopted at
the next session of congress.
The measure would give to human
thought the same protection that
now guards writing and patentable
articles. It's author contends that
thoughts and ideas are the basis of
invention and should, therefore, be
reserved to their creators.
He would give the property rights
now granted for means of doing"
to the idea Of doing" and the use
Of doing SO that original ideas and
novel and operative Utilization Of
original ideas capable of forward
ing the progress Of science and the
useful arts would receive equal
statutory protection with dimen-
sional, physical, material or tangi-
BILE means of doing"
ut is commended by artists, au-
thoys, scientists and inventors"
Senator King says, that proprie-
tary and property rights and own
ership, morally and ethically exist
in an original idea or combination
of original ideas, if definitely form
ulated and forwarded and function
able, and that proprietary ana pro-
nertv rights and ownership flow
to the use or application Of the

duced to record form, irrespective
of, or in combination with physical,

STOCKS ARE LOWER
/ IN QUIET SESSION
Market Becomes Steadier as.
Reassuring Statements
Aid Confidence.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, October 26.-A further
backwash of selling carried prices mod
erately lower in q comparatively quiet
session today, the ticker fell only about
20 minutes behind the market, in con-
trast to the delay of hours on Thurs
day and considerably more than an
hour yesterday.
The great accumulation of reassur-
ing statements by leaders of business
and finance as to the fundamental
SoundnesS of conditions, capped last
night by statement by President Hoo
yer, had tended to quiet the market
considerably, but many traders who
had suffered a severe nervous strain
while hanging on to their stocks dur
ing the week had lost their appetite
for speculation and decided to unbur-
den themselves of their holdings and
have a peaceful week end.
Business News Encouraging.
Furthermore, definite indications
that banking support which came into
the market late Thursday and yesterday
has no other interest than stabilizinR
prices made the prospect of any i'm
mediate substantial upturn rather dis
couraging. Also, the fact that much
stock bought for support purposes will
be unloaded on advances, and tend to
hold stocks stationary, caused many
traders to lose interest in the market
for the time being.
Business news was fairly encouraging.
The week end trade reviews stated
that there had been some falling off in
retail trade, but attributed it largely
to unsatisfactory weather conditions.
While fears have been expressed that
the break in the market may have i'm
paired public purchasing power, the
head of the largest mail order house
said his firm was preparing for record
breaking holiday trade Further rail-
way earnings statements for September
were fairly satisfactory. Widely ac-
credited reports that large banking in
terestS are pushing plans for another
large food merger were also encourage
ing as indicating that these interests
are definitely acting on the expressed
conviction that financial conditions
have been stabilized.
Gains at Opening.
At the opening of the market there
was wide assortment of gains of
to 5 points. Case Threshing Jumped
141a and Hershey nearly 10, the latter
being reported as included in the prof.
ected food merger Much of these ad.
VanceS were later lost, however.
General Electric was depressed near

inghouse Electric, Johns -Manville, Sim.
mons and Columbian Carbon, about q
to 9. American Can, American and
Foreign Power, Eastman Kodak, Macy,
Columbia Gas and Ludlum Steel lost 4

little, but again f1uctuated in an
extremely narrow range, indicating
strong efforts at stabilizing it around
the current level. A few shares
reached new lows, Hupp sagged to 20.

News Trend.
Reassuring statements by banking, in
duStrial and governmental leaders on
the SoundneSS of the business structure
occupied the forefront of the financial
news of the day. The weekly and mer-
camille reviews also emphasized that
the drastic securities readjuStment had
no parallel in the existing commercial
situation and that the market action
represented primarily purging of a
situation inherent to itself. The trade
reviews pointed out that while general
business had not retained all of its
former buoyancy, there obviously was
sharp distinction between moderate re-
cession in business and fundamental
unsoundneSS.
Bank clearings for the week ended

MARROW IN DEBT
$29O,00O AT DEATH
WhaIen Reveals That Broad
way Habitue Was "Broke"
When Slain.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, July 6.-Frank NARROW,
racketeer, was not only broke" but
owed more than $250,000, to Broadway
associates and his friends in the sport
ing world when he was taken for a
ride" a fortnight ago, Police Commits
sioner Whalen revealed today.
The commissioner did not think Mar
low was killed because of his debts,
since it was automatic that dead men
pay no bills" but he did think 1t was
Marlow's attempt to invade new fields
in his endeavor TO collect money to re-
establish himself that led to his killing.
Mr.. Whalen had advanced this theory
prior to naming the total of NARROW
bills.
Tried to Finance London Trip.
The racketeer's financial straits were
illustrated, said the commissioner, by
the fact that NARROW was unable Sc.
Gently to raise $4,000 for trip to Lon
don to see his actress friend, Dolores
Ferris, now playing In THE New Moon" "
Letters obtained by the police showed
that Miss Ferris was anxious TO have
him make the trip and was annoyed
because he delayed doing so.
One man from whom NARROW sought
a loan for this purpose had once adj
vanced him $4,000, said the commits
sioner. But this time the friend snarled
at the racketeer and sent him away
empty-handed. This incident was typical
of the attitude of those who once were
Marlow's closest associates, said the
commissioner.
Mr.. Whalen, mentioning that Scar
face AL" Capone, Chicago racketeer,
now in a Philadelphia jail, was an
enemy of Marlow'S and that Frankie
Uale, slain Brooklyn gangster. was Mar
lows friend, revealed that he though
the police had uncovered enough EVIL
dence to convict Capone and his men
of Uale's murder. The commissioner
said: "Of course, the guns found in
enough evidence was submitted TO the
district attorney to warrant an indict-
ment-InSpector John j. Sullivan, In
charge of Brooklyn detectives, told me
this
The commissioner added: an my
opinion there was not only sufficient
evidence for an indictment but for q
conviction"
Uale Murdered a Year Ago.
Uale was murdered in Brooklyn
year ago. District Attorney Charles j.
Dodd of Kings County was away over
the week end and efforts to obtain
comment from him on the commits
sioner's statement were unavailing.
Mr.. Whalen will begin Monday re-
examination of the girl and six men
held as material witnesses in the Mar
low case. He also will question Mrs
Minnie Curto. wife of NARROW, who
was born Gondolfo Curto. The COM
missioner had hoped to talk with Mrs.
Curto yesterday, but his men were UNI
able to find her at her former home

MEXICO CITY, July Cen. p.
Elias Gales, has postponed the date of
his departure for a European trip for
at least several days and possibly until
the end of July, newspaper reports said
tonight.
Gen. Gales had intended to leave to-
morrow. The Mexico City Press said
he was going abroad to seek cure for
illness caused by physical strain in his
recent campaign against the Mexican
