TKQOPS TO THE SCENE
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
: Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 27. That a
general reduction of wages in all the
.great railways and industries is ab
solutely necessary, was the assertion
made here by Henry CI awes, the
New York banker, in an address be
fore the Pittsburg Chapter of the
American Institute of Banking.
"Workmen should not forget that
half a loaf Is better than no bread,
and by accepting reduced wages
they are paving the way to better
times for themselves as well as for
the country.
"Then. too. they owe a duty to Bo-
ciety at large; no nne should be gov
erned by the narrow, selfish poncy
nf llvlnir for himself alone. This is
a world in which we must give ana
take, and labor and capital have
mutual interests.
"Meanwhile we cannot ignore the
political situation in this presiden
tial year and the disturbing and de
- pressing effect of the last message
nf President Roosevelt to congresB,
with Its onslaught on Wall Street,
followed by the unjust, bitter attack
of Mr. Bryan on stock exchange
speculation, which he denounced as
gambling.
"Speculation in stock as conduct
ed through stock exchange brokere,
is no more gambling than specula
tion In real estate or ordinary mer
chandise. "These attacks on the financial
center of this country are indiscrim
inate and I am sorry that President
Roosevelt, who has done so much
.good in other respects, should have
nipped the bud of reviving confi
dence in the stock market in the way
he did, for his denunciation of Wall
Street, coupled with Mr, Bryan's
.hniaania and wild condemnations
. of the stock exchange, led to a re
newal of liquidation in the stock
.i ot,h a fresh decline in prices
through creating fresh distrust of
their, holdings among investors,
among investors."

CEASES VISITS
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
New York, Feb. 27. An astounding
phase of the mysterious shooting of
George A. Carkins, supposed brother :
of Glacla Calla at Newington, Pa., by
her husband, Paul H. Roy, was re
vealed today when in dispatches from
London, Colonel Henry Mapleton, for
mer New York grand opera Im
presario, declared that Carkins wa In
reality not the brother of the actress,
but was, in fact,, her husband.
Bnv whn In Pails, where there is al
ready a."' warrant out for his arrest, ad
mits he slew Carkins In a duel.
The' woman in the ease maintains
that it "Is a plain case of murder," de
claring dramatically:
'I will never let up till I drive him
to the electric chair!"
Interviewed in London, Colonel
Manletnn asserted that Roy. under
the name of Mr. Sergius, met Glacla
Calla three years ago in Paris, fell la

wishes of his wealthy family, marfii'd
