SLIGHT ACTION
IN SECURITIES
SPECULATORS IN NO HURRY TO
TRADE IN STOCKS
Harriman Interests Under Pressure
Amalgamated Copper Principal El.
ement of Strength — Money
Market in Better Condition
By ASSO! luted Pi-' -s«.
NKW York. Jan. — The slock mar
ket' of today failed to fled any pro
nounced views on thn speculative out
look. The "i" ration* were largely in
the hands of professional traders and
the movement of prices Indicated that
they shift, d their position from time to
time from one side to another of the
market In the effort to m nip a profit.
There was evidence of b supply or a
number of prominent stocks and in
others there was enough time to form
a resistance when depression was pre
vailing elsewhere, but there was In the
first case little pressure to dispose of
holdings and on the other hand the de
mand wns so languid as to cause only a
sluggish movement of prli ', ~
The Mnrrlman stocks were still under
some special pressure and this was
naturally attributed to the coming in
vestigation of the relations between
these properties by the Interstate com
merce commission, which Is to begin In
New York tomorrow. Reports of an
lndispositionI Indisposition of " the president of the
company may have affected the stocks.
Delaware & Hudson fell away sharply
in spite of the increase In the dividend
rate, which was not. however, as large
as holders have contended for.
Amalgamated Copper was a prominent
lnstance of strength due to current re
ports of an Intended further Increase in
the dividend rate. Atchison was helped
by reports of the same character. I lie
market -was made up almost entirely "I
lndividual movements of this kind due
to special causes.
The list as a whole was lethargic
and gave no sign of the working of any
reinvestment demand such as often fol
lows the distribution of profits at this
time of the year.
The money market continued to relax
as It was expected it would do after the
first of the year. The maximum early
rate for call loans was 14 per cent, com
pared with 20 per cent yesterday and the
rate got down to 6 per cent compara
tively early In the day, while 2% per
cent was the low price touched. /
Another day's large clearances at the
clearing house showed the rapid prog
ress of the annual settlements, although
the settlement was adjusted evidently to
cover two days instead of one. so that
the clearings for the first business day
of the year are nowhere near the record
touched last year , although the total of
the settlements affected is much larger.
The sharp reaction from the high
figures of yesterday in the foreign ex
change market Indicates the urgent de
mand for remittances had been met.
All three of the great foreign banks
marie weekly reports today and all
throe showed the effects of the great
year end strain, especially the Imperial
bank of Germany, for which the de
crease in cash for the week amounted
to $17,665,000. the low expansion $37.
415,000.4 15,000. and the increase in note issues
$73,735,000. There was some recovery
in the discount rate in Berlin from the
drop of yesterday but the discount rate
in London continued to recede. Not
withstanding the prominent relaxation
here from the stringency of the Decem
ber market it is considered doubtful
whether the recession in money rales
will extend to actual ease.
Reports of railroad net earnings for
November received today showed the
■ uniform growth in operating expenses
with corresponding effect In the pro
portion of net earnings, some railroads
showing an appreciable decrease in net
earnings compared with last year. The
dull and featureless character of the
market was emphasized as the day
wore on.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value. $1,880,000.
United States new 4s declined '; and

GIRL AND BEAR GAVE
EACH OTHER A FRIGHT
Special to The lleraid.
CROSS FORK, Jan. 3.- Sent In the
afternoon to bring home a lienl of
eight COWs from B natural pasture in
a sugar maple BTOVfI nearly a mile
from home, Sadie MeMm-kln, tho 15
year-old daughter of a farmer In the
New Bergen district, found herself
face to face v Ith a black boar.
Tho in -at. himself affrightened by the
sudden appearance of the girl, raised
on his haunchei and began chattering
his teetli -a l( i nit attitude assumed
by th>- antTUAla when cornered.
Miss McMackln believed the beat
was aboul to attack her and turned
to run. She was Within siyht of a dug
out shanty used for the Storing of the
camp kettle and other sugar-making
accoutrements, having upon- it a heavy
door fastened on the outside by a large
wooden latch. Tho girl ran for refuge
to the cave-like apartment nnd slam*
mcd the door behind her.
Tho bear by this time, doubtless, was
scamping away, for when the girl
peered out through a knot hole In the
door Bruin was nowhere to be scon.
She then made the discovery that she
was ;i prisoner In the stuffy little cave,
for the heavy wooden latch on the out
side had fallen Into place and held the
door 11 rm.
There was no way of reaching the
latch from the inside. It was as dai -
as a dungeon and her stirring about
had disturbed B colony of bats, whose
ugly forms, in their short-circut llight,
bumped against her head and hands
and face. She shouted; but hor voice
could not penetrate the heavy door of
the cave, and for nearly four hours she
was a prisoner in the cave.
At the end of that time a scorching
party came close enough to the cave
for Sadie to make herself heard, and
she was released. The girl, however,
was in a state bordering on hysteria,
owing to the flight of the bats and fear
of reptiles in tho cave.
WANT TO PLAY SANTA CLAUS
Many Ask Postoffice for Children's
Letters, but the Law
Says No
Special to Tho Herald.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.— The post
office department does rot believe in
San' . Claus. Officially, the dispenser
of Christmas cheer for little folks is a
myth. The department has formally
ruled that no such person xists, and,
therefore, the addressee being; non
existent, all the hundreds and thou
sands of letters from rusting children
that every year find their way into the
postotflce boxes at this season are
gathered unsympathetieally together
and forwarded to the dead letter office.
The Christinas season has no charm
for tilt- prosaic -m.-loyes of the dead
letter office. It means only a lot of
extra work and bother for them, be
cause it falls to their lot to open and
examine all these communications to
Santa, so that if money is by any
chance contained in them it may be re
turned lo the Bender, If the address can
be determined. After that they are all
destroyed.
Every year there come with these
letters to Santa Claus other addressed
to the postofflee oici.-is by sympathe
tic men and women who have the
money ;mci the inclination to gratify
all the children's requests. But, bless
you, that could never be bought of by
the red-tape-bound ofTlcialdom. How
could letters addressed to a person and
place th.it don't exist be delivered to
real persons with 1 il abiding places?
There is no Imagination In the post
office department tiiat can cover that
Stretch. It would be i.eainst the law"
to deliver letters to other than the ad
dressee, ami the time-honored C riat
mas celebration might belter oe aban
doned than have the law violated In
such fashion.
So the letters remain undelivered and
the requests unrespondea to, and Saint
Nii-K overlooks thous.mls of children
just because l.c has not received their
petitions. Hut the postoffice keepa the
law,
SHE PUTS ON TROUSERS
TO TAKE UP MAN'S WORK
Special to The Herald.
MONTCLAIR. N. J., Jan. 3.— "A
manl!m man1!n 1 ! work is from sun to nun; a
woman's work is never done," reflected
Mre. George Dewey last evening. She
put on a red sweater, a pair of trou
sers a light overcoat and a, soft, broad
brimmed hut, and, without being seen
by her family, left her home on Lin
den place, Montclalr, N. J.
Like a man, after sunset, she "loafed
a round.; for a while. At North park.
East Orange, laborers on a 'hurry-up
job,lj job,1, 1 were laying tracks in the new
Kile freight yard.
"Do you pay nun extra for night
work?" Mrs. Dewey asked the fore
man of the gang.
"Sure," said he.
"Then 1 want to go to work," she
answered.
The foreman scrutinized the appli
cant, saw "his" pink cheeks and small
hands and said:
"You had better go home, young
woniau."
Mrs. Dewey resented being called a
woman and became so noisy that Po
liceman McDonald was called. To him
Mrs. Dewe; 1 finally acknowledged that
she considered man's work the easier
and she- wanted to take It up. McDon
aid took her home In a carriage.

FROM LIVING SHEEP
TO MAN'S LEG BONES
Spoei-il to Tiie llorald.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.— Because he
still has the use of his rigrht leg Paul
Monk owes thanks to a healthy sheep,
which gave up its lifo for him. Monk
is now recovering from one of the most
remarkable operations ever performed
In this city.
After his case had puazled physicians
for months it was discovered that tho
marrow of the bone of his right leg
from the hip to the knee had entirely
disappeared. Monk was injured whiie
in bathing. Dr. A. A. Berg decided to
perform the only operation which
would save the bone. Infusion of the
marrow of a living animal Into human
bone has been done only a. few times,
it has never been attempted on so
large a ncale.
Five weeks ago the operation was
performed. An incision nine Inohea
long was made in the. leg, baring the
bone. The sheep was brought alive
Into the operating room and while it
was still livinfe', marrow was extracted
from its bone and skillfully Inserted
into the hollow bone of the patient.
Monk Is now walking iilmiil his loom.
phyalctana are confident he will have
no more trouble.

Meek Chinaman with Bag Said Noth

Goods
NKW YORK, Jan. 3.— Car No. 3031

out of the Brooklyn bridge station at 5
o'clock last night, Everybody sneezed
except a Chinaman, who sat tight and
looked solemn, and everybody roared
with laughter as the epidemic spread
until it brought watery eyes and sow
noses.
lt got to be t.i bad fiat several
passengers appealed to the conductor.
He got one whiff of f c "sneeze pow
der" and went off like a (Jailing gun.
He couldn't locate the powder, except
ln the air. The protesting passengers,
between sneezes, caught sight of the
solemn mongollan. Not a sneeze had
ruffled the even temper of .the celestial.
"Put him off," yelled aome.passen'
gers. Others thought they ought to
capture the bag. first. The Chinaman
sat on It. The attacking party fell
buck with a volley of sneezes.
"Put him off," yelled the crowd. The
conductor and tr ee :nen led the in
offending Chinaman and .ii» bag to tin
platform and the train started ahead
the inougollon wondering ■ what he had
done to cause such a . rumpus. I Th«

HYGIENIC POND FOR
SKATING IS INVENTED
Special to The Herald.
BILLINGS, Mont., Jan. 3.— With the
arrival of winter, Dr. Jeremiah Wight's
hygienic skating pond has been opened
and It is expected to prove popular.
Dr. Wight has for years contended
that skating In its present form Is more
fatal than football, and his aim has
been to eliminate the objectionable ele
ments.
First of all he has so arranged ihat
the ice, while it has a smooth surface,
is not frozen so hard and persons fall
ing are not injured. This appeals
strongly to novices.
Then the wily doctor has placed all
his dnnge.r signs at points where the ice
is thicker in order that inquisitive pei
sons and incredulous folks can glide
over the spots with safety.
But the greatest stroke of genius Id
his hot-water system, circulating; be
neath the loe sheet. Should It so hap
pen that a skater breaks through he
will And himself in warm water and all
dangei of pneumonia Is eliminated.
His linal Invention is a skute that
generates a current of electricity u-a it
slides over the ice. Wires convey tills
current to foot warmers In the shoes,
and girls can skate for hours without
having their toes frostbitten.
Should the doctor's Ideas work out,
they will be applied M roof garden
Hkating ponds In eastern cities.
