STOCK EXCHANGE
TO BEGIN TRADING
AGAIN SATURDAY
Unrestricted Dealing Will Be
Resumed—1,700 Men Attend
Prosperity Feast.
NEW’ YORK, Nov. 25.—While Wall
Street was rejoicing over the an
nouncement that the Stuck Exchange
would reopen for bond trading Sat
urday, more than l.TUO bankers and
merchants testified to the prevailing
optimistic spirit of business in a
"prosperity luncheon” directed by the
Merchants’ Association at the Hotel
As tor, and primarily in honor of the
opening of the Federal Reserve Rank
(system. At this luncheon Benjamin
' Strong, jr., epitomized the new busi
ness spirit by saying that the word
"panic” was eliminated from the lexi
con of business.
Difficulties in the way of trading -n
fronds on the floor of the New \ ork
ytock Exchange have been removed.
;uid business will be resume’ ---«
Saturday morning, under restrictions
to safeguard a rush of European see
ing orders. This will end the four
months' embargo on business In the
exchange and give further Impetus to
the expected return of prosperity.
Plenty of funds are available for
Joans, and it is not thought there will
ibe need for the offer of the bankers
to form a *25,000.000 call money pool,
since trading is at first to be re
stricted to bonds.
Trading on the floor of the .Stock
Exchange will be resumed nearly four
months after the closing on July 31,
[because of the avalanche of foreign
liquidation occasioned by declarations
of war by the principal European na
tions.
The meeting of governors this
afternoon was advanced twenty-four
hours, in order that the announce
ment of reopening might be made
(sufficiently early to give bond dealers
opportunity for preparing themselves
for business on Saturday. The regu
lar meeting day of the governors is
"Wednesday.
This week containing a holiday, a
meeting this afternoon would have
given bond men only Friday in
which to prepare themselves to go on
the floor of the exchange and begin
open dealings in bonds for the first
time since the Stock Exchange closed
its doors seventeen weeks ago.
Assurance was given to the Stock
Exchange authorities that the large
■Wall Street banks stood ready to co
operate for the protection of the bond
market under the w'dened trading.
Wall Street was given stronger as
surance that a call-money pool had
already been formed, and that it
would guarantee the market against
eny selling of a. forced nature from
American sources. Regarding the
likelihood of large sales from Europe,
there was as much difference of opin
ion and information as at any time
since the resumption of business be
gun to be discussed. Representatives
of bond houses with Important for
eign connections asserted that they
had no instructions from Europe to
sell securities, and denial of reports
of large selling orders came from so
many sources that in Wall Street
there was a distinct Inclination to be
cheerful over the prospect.
There was acknowledged to be a
jwssib'lity, however, that selling or
ders were being held back until it
could be seen what prices were to be
established when bond dealings are
resumed.
In the formal statement announcing
the resumption it is specifically de
clared that all dealings are to be
under the supervision of the Special i
Committee of Five, which has ex
ercised absolute authority over the
Affaire of the exchange since July 30 i
Jnst, the day of its suspension.
All Transactions for Cash.
It is furthermore prescribed that
al| transactions are to be for cash,
thus precluding virtually every
clement of speculation or marginal
trading. Also, there can be no trad
ing below the minimum prices au
thorized by the committee from time
to time. Any infraction of these
regulations w’ 11 it is understood,
bring immediate punishment upon
the offender.
■While the trading will partake of
ah open character in that it will he
done “on the floor," quotations will
not be transmitted to the ticker ser
vice. but prices will be issued at
Stated times during the day. This
will be a surprise to many members
who expected « broader and freer
market. The question of quoting "bid
and asked" prices of bonds not ac
tually sold -s yet to be determined.
In ' point of fact Wall Street re
gards the action of the exchange as
a sentimental rather than an actual
factor towards the restoration of
normal cond’tlons.
Until it is seen how successful is
the resumption of bond dealings, the
Stock Exchange governors are not to
cons’der seriously any date for open
ing the board to stock dealings. This
was the definite statement made at
the Stock Exchange. When the pro
posal for widening the operations of
the exchange are taken up. it will ba
with the approval and support of the
Federal Reserve Board at Washing
ton. It is now generally believed
that the situation whicn arose last
week was due to the fact that the
special committee of five, which has
been determining stock market mat
ters since the war recess began, failed
to notify the Federal Board of what
they proposed to do. and were there
fore compelled to postpone the re
opening of the exchange for bond
dealings until the whole matter could
be gone over thoroughly by the gov
ernment body as well as by the bond
men.
The reopening of the exchange may
be followed shortly by resumpt'on of
business on the floor of the Coffee
Exchange. The managers of the Cof
fee Exchange were to hold a special
meeting today to consider a plan for
the reopening not later than Decem
ber 2. It was generally believed a
decision would bo reached to resume
business on Monday.

RICHARD CROKER
CROKER TO IKED
f
(Continued from First Page.)
was a Scotchman of adventurous na
ture, who settled in Oklahoma long
before it was open to homesteading.
At the Studio Club building this
morning there were many inquirers
for Miss Edmonson. Her identity as
the prospective bride of Mr. Croker
had become known through a message
sent to Memphis, Tenn.. by Miss
Willie M. Townsend, who shares the
apartment with her and whose homo
is in the Southern city.
Miss Edmonson was reluctant to
discuss the report of her coming wed
ding. ‘‘I am not ready to tell any
thing about it,” she said after the
Memphis dispatch was read to her.
"Will you deny that you are to be
married to Mr. Croker?' was then
asked. , . .
"No, I will not deny that,’ said
Miss Edmonson, "but I will deny
that I met Mr. Croker only recently.
There is nothing that might interest
the public in the matter."
"When did you meet Mr. Croker?'
she was then asked.
“My family has known Mr. Croker
for years," said Miss Edmonson,
was introduced to him when William
Jennings Bryan was nominated in
Kansas City—the second time he was
nominated for the Presidency.
"I am sorry that the news has be
come public and wish that nothing
would be said about it until after
Thursday."
Hu* Ceotured on Indian Cn*tom*.
For more than a year Miss Edmon
! son has been lecturing throughout the
country on Indian customs and Indian
music. She always appeared on the
lecture platform in Indian costume
and made a very striking appearance.
She has the typical features of her
race, somewhat softened, so that she
is considered remarkably good look
ing, and has raven black hair.
Close friends of Mr. Croker's admit
ted to a reporter last night that they ;
had received verbal invitations to “the
affair." They always referred to it
as an affair, but admitted on close
questioning that it was a wedding.
They held their hands to their lips
when questioned as to details.
"There is absolutely nothing to it,"
said Howard Croker, who lives at
the Croker town house, 5 East Sev
enty-fourth street.
“I hadn’t the slightest idea that
Mr. Croker would marry again." said
Hr. Amos T. Jenkins, brother-in-law
of Richard Croker, at his home on
Staten Island last night. "If he means
to marry again, he has kept the thing
most secret. I am sure that none of
the relatives were let in on the secret.
1 cannot believe that the report is
true."
The ceremony tomorrow is to be
performed by Mgr. H. A. Brann, the
rector of St. Agnes’s Church. Mgr.
Brann received reporters last night,
hut when asked about the Croker
wedding he replied that he could not
answer one way or another regarding
any such wedding He had absolutely
nothing to say one way or another,
he said, and considered weddings to
be strictly private. He refused to
discuss a report that the future Mrs.
Croker only recently had been con
verted to Catholicism from the Pres
byterian faith.
Honeymoon at Palm Beaell.
According to the plans as admitted
by one of the men Invited to the wed-j
ding, the church ceremony will bej
held at 10:30 o'clock. Then there will j
be a dinner for a few friends. The
couple will go to Palm Beach for their
honeymoon. Mr. Croker is well
known in Palm Beach.
Mrs. Croker died In Austria on
September 8 last. She was Miss Eliz
abeth Frazer, daughter of Samuel
Frazer, of this city. She was married
to Richard Croker in 1873. Nine chit-1
dren were born to Mr. and Mrs. |
Croker. and five of them are dead, I
three dying at an early age. Frank >
H. Croker, one of the sons, was killed
in an automobile accident in Florida!
in 1895. Herbert Croker died in the1
same year on a train in Kansas, and;
the circumstances of his death sag- j
gested foul play. Richard Croker, jr„
of Port Chester, N. Y., the eldest son. |
is thirty-Beven years old. Howard j
Croker is twenty-six years old. There
are two daughters, Ethel and Flor-1
ence, the latter being the wife of
Count Louis San Martini, of Naples,
Ethel Croker was married to John
Breen and they were later divorced.
She is now living with her brother,
Howard, on East Seventy-fourth
street.
Mr. and Mrs, Croker lived apart
for many years after the children
were grown up. There were reports
of several reconciliations. Mr Croker
»a9 In Ireland when his wife died In
Austria. He hurried here to attend
her funeral, and surprised his fr'ends
on his arrival by appearing with his
white beard shaved off
It was frequency said that Mrs.
Croker was not in sympathy with
his political ideas. She did not
openly oppose them, hut it was
said that the seed of the dis
content which later sprang to more
open growth was sown when he be
came actual chief of Tammany.
Throughout his quarrels with Hill,
Bird S. Coler and Sheehan of Brook
lyn, all of which are famous points
of his political career, it was said
that Mr. Croker had opposition at
home, but that did not deter him, and
when he moved to England he offered
Mrs. Croker a home with him at
Wantaugh. She prererred to travel,
however, and rarely was to be found
at the little house he had purchased
there. ,

nake it a merry Christmas, indeed,
tor as many as we can.
Some Present Cases.
The following casea have been
brought to our attention for presenta
tion to the Newark public:
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES CASE
NO. 1.
After a long illness, a man in this
city died, leaving his wife penniless,
n-lth the responsibility of caring for
and supporting four children. She Is
a cheerful, courageous little woman
and is making a brave tight against
big odds. She has not yet won out,
but in Just a year the oldest child
can obtain working papers and come
to her aid. The workroom for women
connected with the Bureau of Asso
ciated Charities found her work at
scrubbing three days a week in a fac
tory. where she earns $5 a week, and
Is very well liked, being a good
worker She wants more days' work,
but pending that needs some help to
maintain her home. A definite
amount to aid this family, weekly, for
a few months would encourage this
mother.
The Evening Star suggests that an
other $5 a week added to this
mother’s present Income would enable
her t* care for herself and four chil
dren until her labor will bring her
the necessary added income.
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES CASE
NO. 2.
There are only two little girls, with
their mother. In this family, but they
sorely need all the things that other
little girls need, and many of which
their father provided until he became
a victim of tuberculosis and was sent
to Verona. The father h*s a good
woak record, and his employers fitted
him out with necessary clothing for
his stay at the sanatorium and prom
ised him employment again when he
is restored to health. Meanwhile, his
wife has no work, and, though rela
tives have given her shelter, they
cannot do more, being themselvee
poor. The Evening Star asks seme
share of Christmas Joy for this fam
ily. The sum of $2 a week would
make, this family comfortable for the
winter, who will provide it?
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES CASE
NO. 3.
Though the father, who used to
support them in comfort, is still liv
ing, eight little children have become
dependent on outside help. Tho man
has now been crippled with rheuma
tism for some months, his wife can
not leave him and the children will
have to become wage earners, and

LIKE FLATS, FRENCH TRENCHES
HAVE HOT WATER AND KITCHENS
“ ' ---
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
(lilted Press Correspondent.
(Copyright, 1014, by the United Press.)
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY AT
THE FRONT, via Paris, Nov. 23.—
(Delayed)—French trenches on the
battle front are real works of art. I
entered and inspected the details of
newly occupied works while the sol
diers’were still digging. The trenches
are deep, well drained and sanitary.
At the beginning of the war French
soldiers scorned to entrench more
than a few inches. But the war quick
ie switched to trench fighting and
France's fighting men changed their
tactics accordingly. The trenches I
saw were provided with spacious rest
rooms and toilets and covered bomb
proof observation chambers. Some
were provided with kitchens with a
svstem for carrying off the smoke and
even with baths and hot and cold
showers.
The French are so well protected
that officers in charge of the removal
of the wounded told me tliat in the
past week less than 400 eases had been
sent to the rear, despite the violent
German attacks. On the contrary I
understand the German losses dur
ing their offensive movements con
tinue to be enormous. The military
uttaches of the foreign countries on
the present tour concluded their study
of the battle fields leading up to the
present lines today. They/are now
entering the second phase of the pro
gram inspecting the actual opera
tions. They naturally refuse to dis
cuss the manoeuvres, but are en
thusiastic over all they have seen of
the French army, its organization and
fighting qualities. I personally cov
ered the same ground and was sur
prised to see such a big change in the
French soldiers. They are much bet
ter now than at the start of the war,
proving the French the most adapta
ble as soldiers. _
LOBSTERS SCARCER, PRICES ADVANCE;

Mrs. Pollard Said to Be
Too III to Stand Sentence
ELIZABETH, Nov. 25—.Samuel
Schlelmer, counsel for Mrs. Anna L.
Pollard, who pleaded non vult a few
days ago to the charge of sending
the "poison pen" letters to residents
of this city and Newark, says that
the health of his client would not per

the day set by Judge James C. Con
nolly for sentencing her. The lawyer
said she had been in a private sani
tarium for several months.
Prosecutor Stein when told of the
statement of Mr. Schlelmer said the

Two Beheaded by Explosion
in Trenton Smelting Plant
TRENTON, Nov. 25—A cigarette
spark falling into a tank filled with
crude oil at the ulant of the Trenton
Refining and Smelting Company here
last night caused an explosion that
decapitated August Hoffman, of this
city, and Harry Chain, of New York,
and Injured James Oliver, of Trenton.
The two first named were repairing
the tank. __
the situation looks gloomy for this
family during the holidays and after.
Some other agencies of help have
been Interested by the Bureau of As
sociated Charities and the rent is
assured. The outlook here Is not
wholly discouraging, because special
treatment has helped the Invalid
father, and he is improving, and
really hopes to return to the pursuit
of his trade. Through the influence
of the bureau this family has moved
from dark, unwholesome quarters to
bright, sunny rooms, where the
health of the whole family has im
proved. Three dollars a week is
needed to afford sufficient food for
this family.

Struggle as she may. a certain
I widow with five tiny children cannot
earn enough to meet her rent and feed
the family. By working hard she
earns $5 a month toward her rent,
i which is $10, and enough to supply
I her table. The Bureau of Associated
Charities has been supplementing her
i earnings by paying half the rent but
j now has no funds for the purpose,
i and is most anxious that the help
should be continued. This is an in
j stance of a woman who has applied
I for help under the State widows' pen
sion law but whose case has not been
acted upon.
The Evening Star suggests that
$5.00 a month is little enough to ask in
a case of this kind, and, to assure
this poor mother of her rent at least,

A hard battle against poverty is
being fought in a household this win
ter which last year faced the world
without undue anxiety. East spring,
however, the husband and father
died, leaving a wife and three chil
—dren penniless. Some weeks after
his death a fourth little one was
added to the family. The oldest child,
a girl of nearly fifteen years, tried to
meet the situation by obtaining em
ployment, but was recalled to school
because of lack of educational qualifi- I
cations.
The mother is physically unable to
workoutslde the home, and the am
bitious young daughter broke down
physically and was sent to Olen flard

are needed in this home, where there
is a fragile mother, a child of seven
years, another of five and the baby.

Pound Fishermen Retrench;
Certain That Fish Bills
Will Pass the Legislature
POINT PLEASANT, Nov. 25.—With
Indications in both State and national
law-making circles pointing to vic
tcrles for the opponents of the fish
pound operations, proprietors of the
pounds along this section of the Jer
sey coast are retrenching in the mat
ter of equipment. It is reported the
pound owners have been advised by
persons in authority not to spend any
more money for nets and supplies,
owing to the almost certain passage
of bills looking to abolition of the
pounds.
Scores of fishermen who were de
prived of a livelihood through the
pounds are preparing to continue their
vocation. Before the inauguration of
the pound industry hundreds of men
went to sea and fished with hand
lines. The construction of the pounds
made the earning of a living almost
impossible for these men.

TELLS OF FATAL
Jmts. Jeanette Neill, of White
house, Describes How M.,n
Was Killed.
Mrs. Jeanette Neill, .of White
House, told to Judge Haight and a
jury in the Newark branch of the
United States District Court today
the story of the automobile, accident
on the bridge spanning Ambrose
creek, in Hound ltrook, last Novem
ber, in which Solomon R. Jacobs was
killed when the machine fe.l through
the planking to the water below.
Suit for $75,000 damages has been
begun by Mrs. Jacobs against the
Board of Freeholders of Middlesex
county. The plaintiff Intends to prove
that the bridge was defective through
the negligence of the freeholders to
have it repaired. The defense is that
the accident was caused by the ear
hitting one of the sides of the hr dge.
Mrs. Neill said she lived at 91 Som
erset street, Somerville. She said she
is the widow of Dr. Edwin Neill, who
for a number of years was a prac
ticing physician in New York and
Parts.
As to her knowledge of operating
automobiles. Mrs. Nelli declared she
had been driving machines for more
than eight years and that she had
operated automobiles in the streets
of both Paris and New York
On the day of the accident she said
she was about in the centre of the
bridge. Suddenly, she said, she heard
a report similar to the explosion of a
torpedo on a railroad track. Instant
ly she knew something was wrong.
She reversed her engine, she de
clared. and went back about a yard.
1 hen she says she felt the bridge
sagging. She knew nothing further
until she found herself in the water
of the creek below the bridge, In the
car.
She screamed for help, she said,
and a maid in a nearby house ran
to her assistance. She directed the
young woman to run for help for
Mr. Jacobs, who was under the car,
which had turned turtle.
She said Mr. Jacobs was under the
car about fifteen minutes and that
the examination of the doctors show
ed that his death was due to shock,
there being no water in his lungs.
The tires of the automobile were in
good conlltion, the witness testified.
Despite the efforts of Freeman Wool
bridge, of counsel for the defendant,
the witness stuck to her statement
that she did not hit the guard rail
and that the accident happened when
she was directly in the centre of the
bridge.
Joseph M. Proskauer, of New York,
of counsel for the complainant, pro
duced several witnesses to prove the
insecurity of the bridge in question.
Among these were Dr. John T.
I.eahy, of Bound BTook, who said he
crossed the bridge in an automobile
on innumerable occasions and that
the bridge shook violently each time.
Corroborative testimony was given
by Charles Seifert, a liveryman, of
Bound Brook.
j
(Continued from Klrnt
ment of the auxiliary committee of
the Citizens' League and waged a
very active campaign. A recognized
member of the Republican faction of
the town, he was opposed by Domen
ick with the strength of the Demo
cratic element rallying to his support.
The final result was Domenick 325,
Maloran 254.
Caldwell "Dark Horse."
Though the election of Waters and
Mathes had been conceded before the
complete returns had been received,
the third successful candidate could
not be decided upon, and an anxious
crowd awaited tho tallying of the re
sults In the Town Hall until early
this morning. It fcnally resulted in
Caldwell turning up as the "dark
horse.” He received a remarkable
vote in the “Hill section.”
Surprise was expressed at the de
feat of Klein, Cyphers and Minion,
all three of whom were supposed to
have been greatly strengthened
through indorsements received by the
auxiliary committee of the Citizens’
League and the "Home Guard."
The defeat of Richard P. Scaine
after being highest man in the Third
district of the First ward was an
other surprise. Scaine lost ground,
however, in the Silver Lake section,
where he received only eight votes.
Another surprise was the defeat of
Char es Hollweg, in whose aid a vig
orous campaign had been waged.
The new commissioners, it Is ex
pected, will take their seats next
Tuesday. All of them pleaded weari
ness after their exertions, and did
not care to make any comments on
the day's result.
The tabulated vote was as follows:

Givte Physician Time to
Get Proofs.
Vice-Chancellor Stevens today de
cided to give Dr. George L. Warren,
member of the Board of Health and
a physician with offices at 77 Houston
street, another opportunity to prove

Coulee Doerr Warren. Dr. Warren,

Mrs. Warren had been guilty of mis
conduct with Michael J. Hagan, a
drug clerk, during the months of
August and September, 1913.
At the trial, which took p’«ce last
week, the vice-chancellor declared
that the proof presented to him was
not sufficient to bear out the com
plaint. At the request of John A.
Bernhard, solicitor for Dr. Warren,
however, he adjourned the matter
until today, when Mr. Bernhard
promised to introduce new evidence.
After hearing both Mr. Bernhard and
Samuel Press, solicitor for Mrs. War
ren. the vice-chancellor said today:
"I want to have this case fully
tried. According to the evidence pre
sented to me the conduct of Mrs.
Warren Is not all that it should be,
and I believe that you should have
an opportunity to present further
proof.”
He then set the case don^n for trial

WAR WITH ALLIES
Decides to Fight Kaiser—Mo
bilization of Troops Ex
pected Soon.
U8BON, N'ov. 25.—Portugal baa
formally decided to enter the war.
Premier Costa in speeches to the
House of Deputies and the Senate
explained the government’s attitude,
declaring that It had acted in loyal
accord throughout with the alliance
with Great Britain.
The premier presented a bill author
izing the government to "intervene In
a warlike manner’’ when and In the
manner it deemed expedient, accord
ing to the terms of the alliance.
Headers of the various parties in
dorsed the action of the government
and both chambers unanimously
adopted the bill.
Deputies and senators cheered Great
Britain and the allies several times
during the proceedings. A local news
paper states that partial mobilization
will :be ordered forthwith.
The Portuguese active army in Lime
of peace numbers 2,800 officers and
30,000 men. All adult males between
the ages of seventeen and forty-five
are liable to military duty. There is
also a colonial force of 2,500 Portu
guese and 7,000 natives.
The navy is small. There is an old
so-called battleship of 3,165 tons and
about a dozen old cruisers. There are
nine destroyers built or building,
two torpedo boats and one submarine.
The treaty between England and
Germany gives the firmer the right
to enlist the service.®of Portugal in
t'me of war. The treaty is of long
standing and has been reaffirmed
since the beginning of the present
war. A British cruiser visited Lis
bon on September 28 to salute the flag
of the republic on the ratification of
the treaty.
On account of Portugal's colonies in
Africa, where she maintains large
forces, the country can be of great
service to England in the matter of
the British possessions in Africa, par
ticularly in view Of the F"»r \inr<S
ing in SoutH Africa. The Portuguese
coloijles border the German posses
sions in several parts of the dark con
tinent.
