TO BE SPUDDED
in TOMORROW

Representatives from all parts OF
Imperial Valley viii attend the
ceremonies in connection with the
spudding in OF the first carbon
dioxide well tomorrow afternoon
at o'clock southwest of inland.
The valley will be represented
by city and county officials and di-
rectors of the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce on this occasion,
when Mrs Carl NJ Einhart. wife
of the president of the proposed
Valley Dry Ice company, will chris
ten the first well Mary l. with q
cake of dry ice brought from the
coast for this purpose.
The proposed dry ice plant near
inland has caused much comment
on the coast and the FL Centre
Chamber of Commerce reports thai
a great number of letters have been
received from manufacturers, re-
frigeration companies, and others
interested in dry ice. 1t is expect
ed that a number of persons from
Los Angeles and other coast cities
will be on the property tomorrow
afternoon to attend the ceremonies
and examine the property, together
with the mud pots which adjoin
the land of the proposed company.
and which first aroused interest
in the possibility of obtaining pure
carbon dioxide suitable for the
manufacture of dry ice in that vi

sident of the company. to deter
mine the quality and quantity of
carbon diox:de oota-nas-e and, up
on the results of these wells de-
pends The erection of a dry ice
plant in Imperial Valley. If the
plan is found feasible, Einhart
states, the gas will be piped to a
plant to be built near inland and
compressed into liquid carbon di-
oxide and then into dry ice. whicn
is rapidly increasing in use for re-
frigeration purposes. 1t is expected
that it viii take about three weeks
to complete the first we'll.
The El Centro Chamber has been
much interested in the proposed
dry ice plant because such a pro-
duct would be invaluable to a COM

INSANE MOTHER
TRIES TO KILL
FOUR CHILDREN

LOS ANGELES, Sept. %. U.P)-
Four fatherless children faced
death unflinchingly early today
when their mother, in a moment
Of alteration, slashed the throats
and wrists of three of them and
then attempted to end her own
life, police reported.
The mother, Mrs. Harriet Paup
81, was held in a barred cell at
police receiving hospital, while in
a nearby room were the children,
i'll and weak, but expected to sur
vive.
The injured children were Mar
vim, 8, Harriet May, 7, and Roland,
6. Three year old, curly headed
Courtney, was not attacked.
Last Christmas day, police learn
ed, Mrs. Paup and her husband,
Dr. Marvin K. N. D. Paup, were
involved in an automobile accident
Mrs. Paup received severe head in
juries. On July 8, the father left
home.
Mrs. Paup continually saw faces
at her windows, it was learned. 1t
seemed that people were trying to
harm her.
So last night she decided to out
wit her hidden enemies, police
decided, after piecing together the
incoherent stories of the children
and neighbors.
Marvin was awakened this morn
ing by a soaring pain as razor
cut across his throat. He screamed
"Motherp
I'm not your mother" the fig
ure said. But it wore his mothers
clothing and white cloth across
the face.
The figure turned and left as
/ Marvin struggled to his feet. He
turned on the light and saw Har-
riet May and Roland in their beds
with their throats and wrists cut.
Apparently Mrs. Paup called po-
lice, officers said. The children
told investigating officers that their
mother had given them little white
candies last night which made
them i'll.
But Mrs. Paup, hysterical, told
weird story of masked woman
garbed in black, who invaded her
home at midnight and attacked her
with a razor after slashing the
children.

series of WHY'S cars. The cars are
"up-to-tle- minute" in every de-

notable features.
AS the result of a careful re-
check made of the WHY'S Six 500

According to the A. A. A. Off

stock car speed records than any
other car selling below 81 600. The

New York Cotton

NEW YORK, January 10 (P).-Cot-
ton opened steady today. 2 points up to
3 points off, with near months relatively
steady on trade buying and some South
ern selling on the later deliveries. March
sold at $50 on the call.
Otherwise orders appeared to be
fairly we'll divided, but after selling at
$50 on the call March reacted to 6.73,
and the market showed rather an easier
tone at the end of the first half hour.
The weather in the South was con-
sidered more favorable for the move
ment of cotton and there may have
been some selling in anticipation of in
creased spot offerings, but there was
not much selling by the South at the
start
Liverpool cables said that Bombay
liquidation in that market had been
absorbed by Continental buying and
trade calling, and reported steady buy
ing of cotton cloths for the British
home trade
The market sagged off to GIL for
March and TOP for July later in the
morning, making net losses of about 7
to 10 points under continued scattering
liquidation. Rallies from early decline
in the stock market seemed to bring
in a little buying later, however, and
the market at midday was quiet and
steady, at rallies of or 3 points from
the lowest.

new YORK BANKS

Institutions Finish Year Much
More Creditably Than Had

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 19.-Con-
sidered as a group, the New York City
banks have acquitted themselves much
more creditably than had been popu-
lar belief, says the Standard Statistics
Co. OF New York, in a current survey,
which continues, in part:
"Year-end statements of the leading
New York City banks and trust COM
panies were considerably more favor
able than generally had been expected
These statements revealed that the
institutions, in aggregate entered 1882
in even more liquid condition than was
the case year ago. On December 81
1880, the average liquidity of 19 metro
pOlitan institutions, as compared with
deposits, was no less than 58.6 per cent.
At the 1881 year-end liquidity, on the
same basis, averaged 62.3 per cent.
Moreover, if quick assets are Included in
tie compilation, the recent ratio was
778 per cent, as compared with 727
per cent at the close of 1880. In short
the important banks and trust COM
panies of New York City have sacri-
feed a substantial amount of possible
earning power to place themselves in
impregnable positions
Meanwhile, the average decline in
book values of the institutions amounted
to only around Is per cent last year,
an exceptionally favorable showing,
considering the action of the bond mar
ket, the contraction of credits and other
retrenChmentS."

RETAILERS MAKING
BRILLIANT RECORD
Biz Firms Meet Lower Prices
by New Sales Efforts
and Economies.

One of the most encouraging features
of the disordered and perpleXing busi-
ness situation Is the record that has
been made by retail trade in the past
year. Although handicapped. says the
American Bankers Journal, by con-
tinually diminishing purchasing power
on the part of the public, practically
every important merchandising COM
pany has rapidly passed on the lower
ing level of prices to consumers, and
by means of intensive and exceptional
sales effort has succeeded in moving
physical quantity of goods only moder-
ately below that of one or two years
previous. OF course this is an aid to
all business. in that person whose in
come has been cut Is able to purchase
approximately the same amount of mer-
chandise as before, which means sus-
tanned employment to the workers in
all of the supply industries.
According to reports submitted to
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
by large number of department stores
in the second district, their dollar sales
in 1881 were approximately per cent
below that of 1890, but the physical
volume of goods was practically the
same. 1t may be that the department
store group is not entirely typical Of re-
tail trade in general. in that the large
stores have been able to buy and sell
to better advantage than the small in
dependent retailer, although there is no
proof that this has been the case. Dur
ing a period of rapidly changing condi-
tons, the moderate sized concern has
definite advantage over the large cor
poration in that it's methods are more
flexible.
New ideas, economies, wage adjust
ments. etc, can be adopted, the journal
adds, without cutting red tape" and
the head of the concern is closer to the
workers and the customers than in the
case OF the corporations capitalized at
q million dollars and upward The
small organization is free from the fixed
overhead expense of the Nationwide
distributors, and was not asked to join
in the campaign of the big business ex-
ecutives in keeping up pay rolls and
other expenditures in the futile attempt
to thereby bring back prosperity.
Value of merchandise stocks held by
the stores reporting to the New York
Federal Reserve Bank we're substantial
ly below those at the corresponding
period of year ago, except in the case
Of drugs. Ratio of collections to &C
counts receivable outstanding however,
was slightly higher than a year ago, the
Journal concludes.
