STOCK PRICES 90 DOWNWARD
 TO NEW LOWS
Net Losses of from One to Three Points Take
 Place Today

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The Stock Market began the first full week of the new year by registering a new average low level for the bear cycle.
 Net losses of from one to three points were numerous with a few wider declines.
 The turnover was about 1500,- coo shares.
 Lack of signs for a January pick up in such heavy lines as United States Steel, and concentration of attention upon the economic con- ditions calling for emergency action by the President in his message today to Congress, are among the factors making buyers wary.
 Case and Eastman tumbled about six points.
 Rails held up fairly well until the finish when selling of New York Central and Union Pacific carried the issues off from two to three points.

THE president of the United Mine

recommends the acceptance of this
agreement by the membership Of dis
trict II, for the overpowering reason
that no better agreement can be OBJ
tanned under present conditions and
that it is beyond the realm of human
probability to expect that a continu-
ance of the existing strike, with its at
tendant horrors of hunger, malnutri-
ton, illness, community bankruptcy,
deprivation of opportunity and mental
depression, will in any way exercise

MANCHESTER, England August q
A faded marriage certificate, some old
letters and mysterious remittances of
money from America form the back
ground for the claim to the vast Wen
del fortune that Thomas Patrick Morris
is pressing in New York, his foster
brother, Bernard Morris, said yesterday.
Bernard averred that on her death
bed, in 1904, his mother revealed that
Tommy, who had passed as her son.
really was the son of Mary Ellen
Devine.
A search of family papers elected a
marriage certificate and old letters
which indicated that Miss Devine, a
stanch Catholic, had married man
named Wendell, Methodist, in Amer
lea, the foster brother said.
Supposedly the understanding was
that he would change his faith, but
he did not do so, the letters stated, and
they parted.

DiSClOSeS Library Gift.

In disclosing to book lovers that this
treasure" has been entrusted to the
care of the Library of Congress, v. Valta
Parma, curator Of the rare books collec-
ton. said:
The gift is made in recognition Of
Mr. NeWton'S peculiar ability to write
about books in such a delightful fash
ion that his readers are lnoculatsd
with the book collection game and
become not only collectors, but dis
eliminating collectors.
Mr.. Newton has been honored by
many articles about him and his books.
There was even issued a finely printed
limited edition of photography of the
Newton writings.
Mr.. Ulizio has chosen the best posi-
bic recognition of Mr.. Newton by CIV
ing the writings themselves to the
American people. BY placing them in
the rare book room of the Library OF
Congress he insures their permanent
preservation in their present immacu-
late condition.
Christopher Morley says of Mr.. New
ton: He happens to be a natural born
genius in the art of familiar essay.
When he writes he pourS himself out
with the same candor, vigor and charm
as when he talks.
Creates Book Lovers.
He has created a whole new genera
ton of lovers and understanders of the
tenderest pleasure-the pleasure OF as
sociation books.
He is more than a witty essaytst and
great bibliophile. He is very deep
hearted and human man, with an enor-
nous capacity for affection.
"Mr. Newton'S works aren't luSt
books-they are printed personality"
Many of Mr. Newton's books are now
classed as very rare and some are
considered unobtainable.
The Library of Congress copy OF Mr..
Newton's first importont book, The
Amenities of Book Collecting" has been
in almost continuous demand since its
issue in 1918 and its present condition
of decrepitude is evidence that 1t Will
live for all time with the few great
classics of books about books.
Mr. Ulizio sends the books from his
great library of American first editions,
which he has gathered around him in
his beautiful home at Pine Valley, N. j.
A. Edward Newton, business man and
book-collector extraordinary, Is chair
man of the board of the Cutter Elec-
trical Equipment Manufacturing Co.
Established in 1884, it is one OF the
oldest concerns Of its kind in the coun-
try. In 1895 Mr. Newton took over the
then almost bankrupt concern and be-
gan building it up to its present success.
