WAS HUBT ON CHRISTMAS EVE Hews of Death of Former Employe oflfm-ry Yard, "Who Wu Ram Dowa "Waile Shopping;, Withheld from Septuagenarian Wife for Fear Shock Stay Caaae Her Demise. Death yesterday afternoon claimed John J. Peabody, seventy-five years old, a former employe of the navy yard and one of the oldest residents of Washing ton, who, with his wife, Mrs. Mary Pea body, seventy-three years old, was run down by a car at Ninth and L. streets northwest on Christmas Eve, when they were returning to their home at 91S L street, with their arms laden with gifts purchased a short while before. When the aged couple were removed to Emergency Hospital, physicians believed the -wife to be the mot seriously hurt, and held no hopes for her life, but they believed the husband would ultimately recover from his injuries. His death at 3 o'clock -.estcrday afternoon, following a l'n;r period of unconsciousness, came as a surprise to the attending physicians. News of her huhband's death is being kept from Mrs. Peabody for fear the shock might be fatal. Relatives may be allowed to inform her in a few days that death has separated her from her husband. She is still in a critical condi tion, suffering from a fracture at the base of the skull, internal and other In juries, and physicians arc dubious whether she will eer leave the bed. Wan Well-known Machinist. An autopsy was performed late last night by Dr. Charles S. White, deputy coroner, who found death was due to concussion of the brain and shock. Pea body was in a weakened condition at the time of the accident, and the efforts of physicians to force a rally were of no avail. Peabody v.as a native or this city, and for many jcns was a well-known ma chinist at the navy yard, lie retired sev eral years ago. because of advanced age. He was a mimlicr of the Oldest Inhabi tants Association. Washington Lodge, L O. O. F.; Columbia Lodge. No. 174. in ternational Association of Machinists, and the Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Associa tion. No arrangements hae been made tor the funeral. An inquest will be held to determine xne responsibility for the death of i body, but the hour for the inquiry has not jet Leen set. The motorman and conductor of the car which ran down the couple were arrested after the ac cident, but were later released on bond. YACHTING AND BOATING. .cnwosiasuc yachtsmen all over the country are carefully laying their plans for the season of 1911. A host of new boats will be on the water during the coming summer, -nany of which art be ing built with a view to entering them In many of tho famous events. One. of the principal boats now in tho course of construction is the handsome motor sacht which is being built in Cam den. N. J., for J. P. Betz. third, of Phil adelphia. Mr. Betz Intends tu use his new boat as a cruising yacht and has expressed his intention of entering ner in the 1311 Philadelphia-Havana race. The new yacht when completed will be eighty-two feet long, with a beam of thirteen and one-half feet. Her construc tion will be of the very best material obtainable, having in view at all times strength as well as speed. She will be powered with a specially built 6-cylladcx engino or JjQ horsepower, and It Is ex pected that this powerful piece of ma chinery will drive her through the water at a speed of at least fifteen miles per hour. Tho distance to Havana from Phila delphia is given officially as lSM miles, and in 1310 the Bemeyo, owned by S. W. Granbery. of Newark, N. J., negoti- atca uiese ijuo miles In six days six hours and nineteen minutes. Berneyo's engine was one that Is rated by tho man ufacturers at 5 horsepower, and as her average speed was a HtUe less than eight knots per hour, it can readily be seen that should this new boat of Mr. Betz come up to expectations, the best previous time record w ill be smashed. Mr. Betz has spared nothing in the way of expense In order to have this new boat the very best in all ways, and confidently believes that, barring mishaps, lie will equal the time by steamship from Phil adelphia to Havana.

DEVITT. EDITOR "WHO'S WHO IX BASEB.U.U" (Copjnrht b National Weekly Letter Bureau. 13WL1 Ten times in fourteen years Charles W. Bennett led catchers of the National League in fielding. The nearest approach to this that records show Is the case of Warner, who led twice in the National and once in tho American League. Six other catchers have led twice each. It is upon that record that tho old-timers claim that Bennett was the greatest catcher that the game has ever known. His lead began in 1SS1, and the last year in which he led was 1KC, the year be fore he suffered the dreadful railway ac cident by which he lost both legs. He belonged to what may be called the mid dle period of the game. Many are the stories that are told of the persistence with which he caught, day in and day out. with only the protection of gloves with the fingers cut off. and handled some of the swiftest pitching in" his long career. In his day he was regarded hero, and his following was most loyal. Bennett began with the old Ne shannocks, wjth whom he played in 1S75 and 1S76; Etnas, of Detroit, in 1ST6; one game with Athletics in 1S77 and the rest of the season with Milwaukee, with whom he played in 1S7S; Worcester In 1ST9; with tho Hop Bitters team to Cuba in the winter of 1S3-1SS0; New Orleans in 1SS0; Worcester In 1SS0; Detroit Nationals in 1S81-S; Boston Nationals In ISO; Boston Players' League in 1SS0, and Boston Na tionals in 1S31-2-3. During this time Ben nett handled the pitching of the leaders of the leagne, Derby, Whitney, Getzein, Weidman, Stivetts, Clarkson. Fred Shaw, Conway, and "Lady" Baldwin. He caught in the world series of 1SS7, when his team won the championship from St. Louis, his batting record of .33 helping some. In three other years his batting was over .300 .301 In 1S1. .304 in 1SS2. and .301 In 1SS3. And the last three jears ho caught with Boston that team won the league cham pionship. Great Early Catchers. The best part of "Jim" White's career as a great early catcher was spent be fore the National League was formed in 1S76. Ho led three times in all. but the first two were In 1S71 and 1S75. He stands, however, as the leading catcher in the first year of the existence of the league. He caught Pabor. s Pratt, and Matthews with tho Forest City club, of Cleveland: Spalding throughout the championship years of Boston from 1S72 to 1S73. and went with him to the Chicago Nationals in 1S76. He went back to Boston in 1S77, and the championship went there that year, too. With Cincinnati the next three years, Buffalo the next five years, Detroit the next three, and 1SS9 with Pitts burg. His name is to be seen on six champion teams In the league and once on the world champion Detroits in 18S7. In his later years he played on the bases. but his fame lives as a leading catcher. For seven years after the National League was formed White batted over 300, and seven times before that. Anotner two-ime leader of the league catchers of early days is "Charlie" Sny der, w ho- lead in 1S77 and 1S7S, the former year with Louisville and the latter with Boston. Good as Snyder's National League record as a catcher is, it by no means gives the full measure of man as one of the foremost of the early ball players. After twenty years' service on the ball field, when he first began to play in 1S73 with the Creighton's, of Washington, ho retired with the enviable reputation of never even once having been censured by an umpire. His first lead was with the Louisville team, in the in glorious year of 1S7. When Craver, Nichols, Devlin, and Hall were playing into the hands of the poolrooms. Sny der, behind the bat, was winning the leading place among catchers by his capable, honest, and brilliant playing. He was handling the terrific pitching of Devlin, who, crooked, as he turned out to be, could pitch with a speed that few beside Snyder could hold. Then next year he led the catchers while handling Bond for the Boston Nationals. While the records cf the National League end there, so far as Snyder is concerned, his work !n tho old American Association eclipsed even that enviable honor. He caught for Cincinnati in 18S2 when It won the first pennant of the old associa tion, and did the finest sort of work with them until he went to Cleveland in 188$. One prominent writer goes so far, as to say of Snyder's work behind the bat. that "in those days he 'was turning tricks behind the bat that modern catch ers' have yet to learn." The honor place in the next two years is taken by old "Silver" Flint, with Chi cago In 1878 and 1879. It was "Stiver's" great work catching, the "Only" JJolan on tho Indianapolis team that crave him a place on the Chicago team In 1879, -where he remained until 'the end of 1890. '" His name 'appears In the five chamolonshln years that Chicago enjoyed, .and in two world series, 'winnisVg'that or 1886. Had Flint been as strong in batting as.hVwaa TRjDE AWAKENING IS BARRETT'S AIM Pan-American Conference to Open February 13.

A Pan-American commercial confer ence will be held here during the week beginning February 12 next, under aus pices of the Pan-American Union. The purpose, according to John Bar rett, director general of the union, will be to awaken the business men of North and South America to an appreciation of the possibilities of Pan-American com merce and the necessity of preparing for the opening of the Panama Canal. invitations will be sent to the principal commercial organizations, individuals, companies, colleges, and other organi zations interested in the development of trade between the United States and the countries of Central and South America. Will Describe Conditions. Diplomatic and consular officers of the United States will deliver addresses, de scribing trade conditions and opportuni ties, based upon their official observa tion In the countries to which they are accredited. The diplomatic and consular officers of the twenty Latin nations ac credited to the United States will be in vited to discuss the subject from the standpoint of their countries, particular ly with reference to the exchange of commerce and the extension of the mar ket for their products in the United States. The practical side of the export and import business will be discussed by trade experts.

Briody. Ganzel. Mike Hinrs. Farrell. Zim mcr. Bergen. Hackett. and others who have led league catchers. Tom Deasley, who tied Charlie Ben nett for first place among league catch ers in 1SS2, when, with Boston, he passed Into the old association, and did great work for St. Louis, especially in 18S3 Martie Hackett, who led in 1SS4 with Boston, was on that team in 1$S5 when it won the championship, and he shared catching honors with Mike Hines. Buck ley, who led in 1S91. took "Buck" Ewings place on the New York team and caught Rusie. with whom he had played in In dianapolis in 1SS0. and in whose develop ment Buckley played a big part. Klt tredge led in 1SD2 while with Chicago, and again in 1902 with Boston. ZImmer led with Cleveland in l3i. handling "Cy" Young, and again in lPOi. with Pittsburg. In 1K6, Wilbert Robmhon. of Baltimore, and Clements, of Philadelphia, divided honors for first place. II. Vaughan, who led In 1S36 with Cincinnati, had caught In his eight years with that club such men as Chamberlain, Tony Mullane, Dwyer. Sullivan, King. Derby. Parrott, Foreman, Breitenstein. Rhine, Ehrct, Hawley. and Hahn. Cincinnati had the leading catcher in the next year in C. H. Pcitz, who led again in 1KW. Jim MtGuire led for Washington in 1S0S. It was the "DeaconV record that Gibson broke, when, in 1909, he caught 10 games in one season. Yet in a way McGuire still holds his record, because the 142 games that he caught in one season with "Washington were consecutive games, while Gibson's were not. Mar tin Sullivan, who caught for Boston three ears, led in 1500. In that year Joe Sug den led the Chicago White Sox. and again in 1904, when he was with the St. Louis Browns. In the latter year he made the record percentage of .990, which he holds in common with J. O'Connor, who made the same In 1906, when he led American League catchers. With St, Louis, and with Fred Bowerman, who made that figure In 1307 with New York, leading National League catchers in that and the previous year. Lou Crigcr led American League catchers in 1901 while with Boston, and again in 1909 with St. Louis. Jack Warner led American League catchers while with Boston In 1502 and National League catchers in 1903 and 1901 with New York. Moran. while with Boston In 1905, was the lead ing catchere of the National League. Schreck Is a two-timer, .having led In 1905 and again in 1907, both years for the Athletics. Bowerman led two succes sive years, 1906 and 1907, in the Na tional League, while with New York. "Billy" Sullivan, who led in 190S with the Chicago White Sox, had played in more games than any other leader of either league up to that time 1S7. Gib son, who led National League catchers in 1909, played 150, which is the record. Bergen, of Brooklyn, led National League catchers in 190S. Other Facta of Record. One of the most peculiar records is that of Roger Brcsnahan, who, In a ten-Inning game on July 2S, 1908, Pitts burg vs. New York, did not have an assist or a put-out during the entire game. Schreckengost, in addition to his record of leading American League catchers twice, holds the- record number of chances accepted, S99. Charles Street, catcher of the Washington Americans, and "3illy" Sullivan, catcher of the Chi cago White Sox, both have the unique record of catching a ball thrown out of the window at the top of the Washington Monument. The ball fell a distance of 505 feet and it Is estimated that when caught the ball was traveling at the rate of161 feet a second, nearly 110 miles an hour. Notes from the Records. Prior to 18S3, C. N. Snyder was the only catcher whose percentage was over .900, and his figure of .913 stood at the tcp until C. W. Bennett made .941 In 1SSS. Two American League catchers and one National Leaguer have made the record per cent of .990 O'Connor, Sugden, and Bowerman. No leader of the American League catchers has ever made a lower percent age than that of .989, made by Lou Cri gcr In 1901.1 The lowest percentage ever made by a leading pitcher In the National League was that of .70L made by James White in 1876. The average of the percentages of the leading catchers of , the American League up to the end ot 1909 ten years Is .983: that of the leaders of the icatinni League for tW same period is .975. Bergen, or Brooklyn, who 'led in 1998, carrie within .081 ner cent .of ,the record, having made .999. iBchwntiksHigost aad ''JBUly"- Sullivan navewaen Dsm jmUsY i ties, packing, advertising, freight rates. steamship routes, Ac.

New York, Jan. 1. It is reasonably safe to say that the reviews of the stock mar ket and of financial and business condi tions in 1910 now about to be-multltudl-nously published by the newspapers, will not be read with as much Interest as on Previous similar occasions, first, perhaps. because- the facts of the existing situation and the financial history of the last year I have been so thoroughly turned over and thrashed out in public discussion 4n the long period of recent stock market dull ness that they have become rather stale. Everybody knows now that the stock market and the country's financial con cerns as a whole entered the year 1910 in a state of strain. The boom In security prices and in gen eral business really culminated In Au gust of 1909, and during the fall months of that year, although the stock market was very lively and gave an appearance of great strength, it really did not make progress upward. At the end of the year the feeling was widespread in the specu lative community that 1910 would be a time of exceeding prosperity and of ad vancing markets In all directions. The conviction was not shared by conserva tive banking interests, whose more care ful study of the situation led them to understand how slender were the grounds upon which the popular supposition rested. They knew, for one thing, for instance, that a small number of rich professional speculators, who were nevertheless nov ices at the speculative game, were bor rowing enormous sums of money on huge blocks of stock for which in reality no market at current prices could be found. In the very early part, therefore, of 1910 there was a collapse of this specific spec ulative movement. One or two men in particular, who, although possessed of large means, were found to be carrying much greater quantities of stock than they shonld, were forced to unload. The downward movement In security prices which started shortly after January 1. ran, although with numerous interrup tions, until the end of July, when it cul minated in a crash which left prices of tho prominent industrial and railway stocks from $20 to 30 a share lower than they were when the upward movement ended In August of the preceding year. The market weakness was accompanied too with a gradual although in no way panicky or violent letting up in general business. Peculiar Aspect of Stamp. There was one peculiar thing about the conduct of affairs as thus displayed In the fore part of 1909. This slowing down would probably have come any way from purely natural causes; but it was a slowing down that did come, in fact, from deliberate efforts made to ward that end by banking and other financial powers. The men in control of the large financial institutions of the country realized early In the year, if not, indeed, at the end of the preceding year, that the credit position of the coun try was in such shape that it could not. without decided amelioration, pass in safety through the exigencies sure to bo felt during the crop-moving bcason of 1910. Even in strictly speculative circles In Wall street a common remark heard last January was that while there would probably be a bull movement in the im mediate future, yet everybody must look out for trouble in the fall of the year. The event proved the truth of the maxim time and again exemplified In financial history that adversities that everybody Is looking for and against which proper preparation is made oftentimes do not happen at all. Tho scaling down of loans and the financial liquidation that took place, es pecially in the West, where credit ex pansion had been most pronounced, were such as to carry the country through the stress of crop moving with out any financial difficulty whatever. It was the first time in years that such a phenomenon was witnessed. On too many occasions In the past the policy of banking interests has been not to take thought of the future, but to let a specu lative movement go on unchecked until it reached a stage where a convulsion was necessary to cure It. In 1910 the eyes of every large banker In the country were from the beginning of the year fixed upon the possibility of disaster in the autumn, and because of this there was no disaster. Since the 1st of August the tendency of the stock market in the main has been upward, although the advance has been restrained at all times by the knowledge that for the moment the only substantial reason for the rise was that a normal reaction was Justified from the sold-out and over fold condition in which the market found itself at the end of the first half of the calendar year. Situation Not Ripe. The situation fwas not ripe for a sus tained or prolonged advance, and specu lators who attempted to get up a rise pre vious to election day because of the mere porations in which thousands of worthy people are financially inter ested, and of all corporations, is nec essary before the full confidence of the people may be gained. "Once secured and maintained by the exercise of this truly Christian spirit in business, it will lead to a SOLID FOUNDATION in commer cial life." He also commented thus favorably on the action of some big corpora tions that have already adopted the plan of TRUTHFUL PUBLICITT: "The people will welcome general action of this kind on the part of all enterprises in which they are Inter ested, and all corporation officials ad vocating it deserve credit "All honor to the jman who has passed through the period and battles of commercial life with 'a character unblemished. Such, a man is worthy of our esteem and veneration.'

In the last half of the year the contraction in general business was more noticeable than in the first half a- fall occurred in the price of nearly every important commodity. c In deed, the cotton market is tho only Im portant Instance in which a decline has not occurred, and in the case of cotton the feeling Is gaining ground very rapidly that prices are being maintained at an abnormal and fictitious level from which a recession must take place, even if because of legitimate supply and de mand conditions, fairly high prices for cotton may be expected to hold until a new crop is gathered. In a large sense, the course of financial and commodity markets and of all busi ness relations through 1910 represented a natural secondary reaction following Jthe panic of 1907. The uprush of prices and the renewed activity tn business in 1909 were overdone, and in 1310 the penalty therefor was paid. The great question now is, has the payment of this penalty been completed and are conditions ripe for a substantial recovery? Is the period of business contraction over that neces sarily follows such a period of major financial trouble as occurred three years ago? Wall street, that is to say, specu lative Wall street, ts taking a very despondent view of the case, as It always does at such times; and its pessimism is heightened by the reduced volume of business on the stock exchange, which has for months back Immensely curtailed the profits, not to say the earnings, of all that large number of people whose pros perity depends directly or indirectly upon an active as compared with a torpid stock market.

STATESMEN AND WHISKERS. , Herald Reader on Walt Mason's Talk oa Jastlce H-ashes' Beard Editor The Washington Herald : "Whether or not the animadversion of Walt Mason upon the whiskers of Jus tice Hughes, which recently appeared in The Washington Herald, was in good taste, the fact remains that whiskers have decorated the faces of men who have played prominent parts in Ameri can politics and in the affairs of the world. It is a fact that there exists a great deal of prejudice against beards in this country as well as In England, and It was only some ten years ago that a dls tlngulshed Oxford University professor attributed the "biasing Indiscretions" of Lord Salisbury to the fact that he wore bushy whiskers. A large number of the people of Eng land looked upon his beard as an indica tion that he was brilliant, but erratic, and many contended that if he would shave off his whiskers he would enjoy more of the confidence of his countrymen. In the same way as bushy whiskers have been considered an indication of ec centric genius, mustaches have, from time immemorial, been looked upon in the light of a demonstration of militar ism. The ancient Teutonic races reserved mustaches for warriors. The French Hussars were at one time ordered to grow mustaches that they. might appear bellicose and ferocious. Napoleon I would permit none but his veterans of the "Old Guard," to wear mustaches. Shortly before the Boer war broke out the English war "office Issued a general order expressing Its disapproval of the clean-shaven faces of its officers, and ex acting that they should at once proceed to grow mustaches. There is character in whiskers and mus taches. It has .been said that 'the prin cipal 'use of these facial adornments Is to conceal thought or emotion, but while this maybe true in some cases.
