OF course not. You sit there while hatred fills
your bosom. All you need Is an automatic
pistol and you could Immediately enjoy COM
mitting a well-merited murder BY gad, sub!
It is as good as duck shooting, without the
ducks or the shooting. Auction pinochle can
not compete with contract in this respect. It
bears the same relation to contract as 15-ball
pool does to championship golf. 1t has
chic, no class and that is another reason why
auction pinochle is passing.
Auction pinochle was also a great time
waster. True enough, the time wasted at
pinochle might have been utilized only in Sleep
for in the days when auction pinochle was
played in the coffee house as well as in the
home, it was no unusual occurrence for an es-ly
riser to operDthe door OF a coffee house, intent
on breakfast, only to find the place filled with
smoke and pinochle players every shade low
cred and every light burning while the pro-
prietor, the walters. the players and the kib-
bitzers were quite unconscious of the sun Shin
ing brightly outside.
Onlookers seem fascinated by pinochle,
whereas auction Is as sad a spectacle as Su-
preme Court motion for writ Of certiorari to
review street opening assessment. IT, for in

portunity to compare the behavior of onlookers
at a'game Of contract and kibbitzsrs at game
Of pnochle. The contract players were mem
bers Of foursomes, meeting regularly every
morning and entering the train at such stylish
stations as Green Farms and Southport, while
the pinochle players came from Bridgeport, q
manufacturing town which no doubt has beau
tiful suburbs, but which has its fair share of
apartment houses of the auction pinochle class.
CTRANGERS were rarely If ever invited to
- join contract game, nor were onlookers en-
tirely welcome either. The pinochle players,
however, were not so exclusive I have de-
hberately watched an auction pinochle game on
the $40, with that hungry expression Of the
little boy who stands outside the candy store
window and gazes at the all-dayt suckers, and
If there were only three players, was usually
asked to join the game, which was AZ modest
one; but do you for one moment imagine that as
as an entire stranger, received mercy or even
justice from the other players? There was
leveling influence in auction pinochle. As soon
as the game began, all restraints were of, and
my partner In the game felt no compunction
in asking me: why didn't you hold of with
your ten? You had the ten bestzt didn't you?

Bic INCREASE

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 GN.SD.
The first 16 railroads to report
for August registered a substantial
increase in net operating income
over August, 1882, and also showed
sizeable increase over the same
1881 month. The gain over 1882,
however, did not measure up to the
betterment reported in July over
the comparable month last year.
Their combined net approx
mated $13, 100000, compared with
$7,506,000 in August, 1882, an in
crease of 82.5 per cent and SILL
948,O0O in the same 1881 month, a
betterment of 1916 per cent. in
July their operating income was
$14,765. 900, or 345 per cent above
July, 1882.
Ten of these carriers reported
an increase in August net operat-
ing income over the like 1881
month, and all but the Florida
East Coast made a better showing
in operating results as compared
with the corresponding month a

VICTORY ON TAX
PLEASES MANY

NEW YORK, Sept. 27 QN.S).
Thousands of brokers, clerks,
stenographers and messengers
went to work in the financial dis
trict today happy in the realiza-
ton that their lives were not to
be dislocated by the stock eX-
change moving to New Jersey.
For with the veto by the mayor
of the two bills taxing stock ex-
change houses, Richard Whitney,
president, and the board of gov
ernors of the exchange, immedi-
ately agreed that the exchange
would stay in the marble temple
surrounded by skyScrapers at
Broad and Wall Streets.

ordered suspension of work in the

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 G.N.S0
The curb market turned sharply
reactionary today as heavy selling
developed on reports that stabili-
zation of the dollar was shortly to
be effected.
Pressure was heaviest on the
speciality group, inasmuch as
this section had been in the fore
front of the upturn of recent
weeks. Aluminium slumped 8

Seagrams dropped point to 245s.
Consolidated Gas of Baltimore
led the dip in the utilities with
a sell off of ia points to so.

Atlas Corporation was in sup
ply among the investment trusts,
showing a loss of almost a point

Cities Service common was we'll
supported at its previous close

INSULTS FIRM
ON|TS DIVIDEND

CHICAGO, Sept. 26 GN.SD
The Peoples Gas Light & Coke
Co., one of the three major
operating units in the former
insult chain of utilities, today
omitted the capital dividend pay
ment due october IT. On July
II last, the company paid 81 a
share, while for the four previous
quarters $1.25 a share was paid.
James Simpson, chairman Of
the board, said current earnings
are not sufficient to pay a
dividend, with gross running sub
stantially below 1882, owing to
reduced consumption of gas and
to rate reductions effective July
/ last. He said:
'1n addition, our operating
expenses, due to reasons be-
yOnd the control Of the direc-
tors or officers of the COM
pany, have been increased in
many directions. UncOntrOl-
liable expenses, such as State,
local and Federal taxes, inter
est. compliance with the NRA
code, and the imposition of the
new 2 per cent Illinois re-
tailers OccupatiOnaI tax, the So
called sales tax, are Substan-
TALLY increased"
Simpson added the sales tax
and the increases in State and
local taxes are being contested
in the courts. but meantime, the
company is "obliged to establish
reserves against them"

Scrap Is Weaker
Scrap shows further weakness
throughout the country. and price
declines at Chicago and Philadel-
phia have reduced the Iron Age
composite for heavy melting steel
from SILT to $11.04 per gross
ton, the fourth consecutive re-
duction since the last week in
August. Notwithstanding this un-
favorably augury, the trend of
prices in other primary materials
seems to be definitely upward.
The Iron Age composite price
for pig iron is unchanged at
$16.71 a gross ton, but the fin
ished steel composite has risen
from 1890 to 1920 a pound,
with a further advance due next
week when fourth quarter prices
on heavy rolled products go into
effect.

South and local traders with

Steel operations in the current
week have thus far failed to re-
fleet the launching of a Govern
ment sponsored capital goods pro-
gram, the speeding up OF public
works and a renewed wave OF buy
ing set in motion by price ad-
vanceS, with ingot output placed
at Al per cent Of capacity, a drop
of 2 per cent from the rate of q

points out today.
A rise of 2 points to 46 per

unable to offset 3-point declines
to 20 per cent at Pittsburgh and
to 72 per cent in the Wheeling
district.
Move Is Disturbing
The chief disturbing feature in
the iron and steel outlook, the
review states, is the fact that the
continued upward movement OF
prices, forced by rising costs, has
driven in business considerably
in excess of consumers current
needs.
The greatest current impetus
to steel demand has been sup
piled by advances of 81 a ton on
