Aaron Burr a Busy Man
in War and In Politics

Aaron Burr, born in Newark, N.
J., February 6, 1855, was educated
at the college of New Jersey Cater
called Princeton university and
was prominent in the war of the
Revolution. In 1778 he resigned his
commission as colonel, partly on
account Of i'll health and partly
through disappointment at not being
promoted more rapidly. In 1872
he was admitted to the bar in Al
bany.
His progress in politics was rapid.
In 1884 he was elected to the state
legislature; in 1889 became attor-
ney-general of the state, and was
United States senator from 1871 I'M
til 1897. His efficiency in the pres
idential canvass of 1900 caused the
friends of jefferson to bring him
forward for the vice presidency. An
equal number of votes having been
thrown for Jefferson and Burr, the
election went into the house Of rep
resentativeS. On the thirty-sixth bal
lot Jefferson was chosen President
and, in accordance with the constitu-
tional provision, Burr became Vice
President, serving from 1901 to
1905.
His methical conduct in trying to
defeat the candidate Of his party
caused him to lose his political in
fiuence, observes a writer in the
Philadelphia Inquirer. He ran for
governor of New York and was de-
feated. The bitterness Of that con-
test led to a duel, in 1904, between
Burr and Alexander Hamilton, in
which the latter was killed. Burr
was later tried for treason on the
charge Of attempting to establish
an empire which should embrace
some of the southwestern states Of
the Union. He died September IA,
1885.

John c. Calhoun Served
u. S. in Manv CAPACITIES

John c. Calhoun, South Cardinals
distinguished statesman and orator,
who was born March Is, 1882,
served his country in many capaci.
ties, twice as Vice President of the
United States. He was secretary
Of war under Monroe and in 1874
was appointed secretary Of state un-
der Tyler. In 1845 he was elected
senator from South Carolina and be-
came the foremost champion Of the
South.
A man with the courage of his con-
victions, Calhoun believed in the
most extreme form of states rights
and developed the theory of the multi.
fication ordinance of 1882. He de-
Tended slavery and furnished argu-
ments which were to greatly inf1u-
ence the political course of the South
in regard to slavery.
While Calhoun was Vice President
under President Jackson, writes
Leslie Hartley in the Washington
Star, it was the only time in Ameri-
can history that two Southerners
held these two high offices during
the same term. Their political
views differed widely, however, and
Calhoun resigned to enter the Unit.
ed States senate This was also the
only time in American history q
Vice President voluntarily left Of.
fee.
Calhoun was held in great esteem
by his native state, which struck
of a medal proclaiming Calhoun
the first President Of the Confed-
eracy." He died in 1850 without
achieving his ambition to become
President of the United States.

RED CAPS
RATTLE RAILROADS

Continued from Page One)
and Nashville, Illinois Central ana
the Cleveland Terminal Company.
In answer to these petitions, the
Commission ordered wholesale
investigation of the relationship OF
the red cap to the railway indus
try. The order included every
railroad in America. Impetus and
moral support was given to the
legal campaign through the forma-
ton of a National Advisory Coun-
ell which was composed Of many
prominent liberals and labor lead
ers. Among those serving In this
capacity were: DR.. Douglas, Phil
lip Murray, Lester B. Granger,
Homer Martin, Haywood Broun
and many others.
In early January of this year,
the organization drive among red
caps gained impetus through the
unifcation conference held in Chi
cago. The conference, ably assisted
by the astute guidance of A. Philip
Randolph, brought together the
various amalgamated and local or
CARNATIONS of red caps throughout
the country. At this meeting the
red caps decided to establish a
common front through the forma-
ton of the new International
Brotherhood of Red Caps. Mem
bership increased over 5000 and
today local organizations have
been established in every major
terminal from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
The railroads have left no stone
unturned to defeat the inclusion of
red caps within the Railway Labor
Act. In filing exceptions to the ex-
aminers' report, they have ques-
toned the authority of the Com
mission to make a decision of this
nature. In pursuing this course,
they have injected the "due proc
ess" clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment. This tactic intro
duces a bit of irony, since the
Fourteenth Amendment was origi-
nally written to guarantee certain
rights to Negroes and over 800
of the red caps employed through
out the country are Negroes.
The issue of the case has broad
ened somewhat, since the Brother
hood filed it's first petition. In all
probability, favorable decision in
behalf of the red caps, will fine
the railroads scurrying, to the U. S
Supreme Court to test the author,
ity and working scope of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission.

Children Born at Sea

When a child is born on a steam
er in the middle of the ocean it takes
the nationality of its parents. The
flag of the vessel does not make
any difference. If the ship were
in territorial waters, and not on the
high seas, that might make a diff
ference. If a child were born to
immigrant parents on a ship bound
for New York just after it had en-
tered the three-mile limit, it would
probably take a ruling of the i'm
migration service to settle the
question of nationality.

Coal Gas, Carbon Monoxide

Normally, coal gas is harmless.
Only when it contains carbon mon
oxide is it deadly. 1t forms when
coal burns with too little air, such
as when furnaces have been banked
at night, drafts tightly closed. Odor-
less, carbon monoxide warns only
by increasing a victims pulse, max
ing his breath more rapid. But it
confuses the mind, makes these
symptoms unacceptable. Artificial
respiration is the first cure. Mere
ly opening the windows is seldom
sufficient.

Top Of Submerged Range

Like the other smaller islands of
the West Indies, jamaica is the
very top of a submerged range of
mountains, which rise out of the
sea as the last vestiges of remote
age. The contour of the land was
quite aptly described nearly 400
years ago by its discoverer, Column
bus, who, in telling his queen, Isa-
bella, about it, crumpled pie:e of
paper in his hand to make an Inn
promptu relief-map.

Stock Averages

Bv VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, Nov 30-The stock
market renewed its efforts to get
going on the rally road today after
having difficulty making headway
in the forenoon.
Leading shares made a lively
start on the upside, then lost most
of the gains. But after midday an
other furry lifted prices back to
the days best levels and left many
shares / to around 3 higher as the
final hour approached.
Between the buying spurts, deal
jngs were slack and transactions
ran at the rate of only about 750.-
600 shares for the session.
Financial Circle Impressed.
The initial furry seemed to have
been set in motion mainly by the
reports the French general strike
had been broken. The firm stand
of the Daladier government, brokers
said. impressed financial circles.
which have been following the de-
velopments in France as another
critical test of the democracies.
Leading the upswing were United
States Steel Chrysler, Westing-
house Electric. Sears -Roebuck.
Douglas Aircraft, American Can
Bethlehem, American Smelling, Du
pont and other recent favorltes
among the industrials.
On the curb minor gains were
chalked up for American Cyanamid
B. Electric Bond e. Share. Lake
Shore Mines and American Gas e.
Electric.
Bonds started forward with stocks
early, then paused The big COM
modities mostly continued to move
in narrow path.
Spectators. it appeared. were un-
willing to resume the early autumn
campaign for higher prices, despite
the favorable Interpretation some
quarters put on the success OF the
French government in keeping es-
sential public services going in Paris.
Expect Tax Adjustments.
The desire to prolong the recent
waiting policies in trading circles
was attributed partly to expectation
of more year-end tax and other
business adjustments, which usually
bring some liquidation into security
markets.
Moreover, brokers said, there has
been growing skepticism in many
financial places as to whether in
dustry could keep up its recent re-
covery pace into 1889 if Federal
public works expenditures are cur
tailed. Many traders, it seemed.
have been sticking to the sidelines
lately waiting for the Administra-
ton to reveal its hand on future
spending plans.
There was more interest in some
utility shares as the big power
companies moved to get under the
wire on the December due deadline
for filing integration plans with
the S. E. C. North American was
more prominent than usual on the
ticker tape following disclosure the
Harrison Williams interests had
been reducing holdings in North
American through their investment
companies in order to avoid hav-
ing the investment units classified
as utility holding concerns.
