SHONTS AND 'QUEEN' VISITED
FARM HERE, SAYS EMPLOYE
Superintendent of Place Owned hy Traction Magnate Declares
All Furnishings Were Removed Ttvo Days
After hatter's Death
The late Theodore P. Shonts, presi
dent of the lnterborough Rapid Tran
sit Company, who cut his widow off
with n .f.'iOOO insurance policy and an
nil painting of himself, frequently spent
week-ends nt n farm he'fcwned In New
town, Pa., twenty-six miles from this
city.
This was confirmed today by Adolph
Lander, superintendent of the f!05-ncre
farm.
"Mr. Shonls never was accompanied
by Mrs. Shonts when he came bore,"
the, superintendent said. "Except (in
two occasions when he came . alone,
ho hud tho lady we called the 'high
stepper' with him. The men around
the farm used to call his, companion
the 'queen.' "
The main building on the fnrm is
built In bungalow style, although it has
a second floor with two small rooms
and n bath. The. bunglnw formerly was
furnished luxuriously, the superin
tendent, snld, costly rugs partly covering
the polished hardwood floors.
Furnishings In Good Taste
The furnishings were of mahogany,
wnlnut nnd cherry. Cosy nooks and win.
dow seats, with silk portieres,, were In
several of the rooms. The decorntivc
scheme was nil in quiet good taste, with
out ostentntlon, harmonizing with the
well-chosen furniture and rugs.
Two days nfter Mr. Shonts's death
last September in New York, according
to Mr. Landeii two negroes drove two
furniture vans' to the house.

From "The End."
Some of those present at the not al
'.elhor happj meeting of the Contoin
rnry Club nt the ltellovuo-Strntford
st night suggested that Miss Amy
iweli had not boon lis good a sport
. she might hnvo been, during the
oceodings, according to Prof. Felix
1. Schelling.
MKs Lowell, one of the intellectual,
ehind the verse Hiiro movement, (list -'
nayed the gathering with an out
tirst of tears when n debate (level -pod,
a situation she had not. expected,
is the result of her lecture upon the
new rhythm.
"Miss Lowell read an admirable
paper," commented Professor Schelling
today, discussing her dissertation upon
"Walt Whitman and the New Poetry."
"This paper was very lino in every
way." Itefore Miss Lowell was intro
duced she made an occasional remark,
interrupting the presiding officer, ami
John A. McCarthy, of the Sugar
Equalization Board, Antici
pates No Increase
BEET CROP IS IN SIGHT!
There will be no increase in the price
of sugar.
John A, McCarthy, of tho sugar
equalization board, said so today.
In view of the fact that Cnitcd States
Attorney (leneral Palmer had approved
o price of seventeen cents n pound for
raw' sugar and eighteen cents for that
made from the Louisiana crop, Mr. Mc
Carthy was asked if this meant anjn
crense in prices here.
He said the sugar from Louisiana
was virtually a drop in tho bucket nnd
the supply from there was just about
ample for the states bordering Louisi
ana, "There will be no increase above tho
figure of eleven cents." said Mr. Mc
Carthy, "for the present, but it would
bo folly to make predictions as to future
figures. The arrival next month of
beet sugar from the Middle West will
help matters some.' but that will be only
u temporary relief."
Tho sugar shortage has acted as a
boon to business of bakers in nil sec
tions of the city. Housewives who
heretofore made their own desserts are
now considerably handicapped by lack
nf sugar and are buying their cakes and
sweets nt tho corner bakcryi
Many women, however, have met the
problem by baking sugarless cukes and
puddings and using fruit desserts. Some
luiv?' found that use of eoiid"nsod and
evaporated milks hiwc been a great aid
in this direction.

explained.
"So when they started gathering up
tho furnishings nnd placing vthem In
the vims V did not object. I thought
they hod a right,to do it. They strip
ped the house, not leaving even a pic
ture. I don't know where the furniture
was moved."
In the will of Mr. Shonts, the major
part of his otole was bequeathed to
Mrs. Amanda Thomas, whom he de
scribes as "my friend." If tho will is
upheld, nil the realty holdings of the
jate Intcrborough head will go to Mrs,
Thomas;
, Newtown Farm Not .Mentioned
The Newtown farm which was said
to have been bought by Mr. Shonts four
or five years ago was not mentioned in
tho will.
On his visits to the fnrm, the superin
tendent continued. Mr. Shouts nnd his
companion would leave n train nt Tren
ton and be driven to tho bungalow in
n motorcar.
The last visit made to the farm by
tho traction company president was

Differs' From Miss Lowell
"Professor .1. Duncan Spnotli. of
Princeton, spoke well and to the point,
as lie always does. He differed from
Miss Lowell in some respects, however.
Then Harrison S. Morris discussed
verse libre from his point of view, and
incidentally mentioned 'Poetry,' a vol
ume collection of verses by Miss Mon
roe. During his talk Miss Lowell ex
claimed. 'Oil. what do you think I am
going through?'
"Ilarvev M. Watts then read a poem
of Miss Lowell's, and I think it ex
ceedingly unfortunate that he chose the

"It was then that I arose and pold

"Was it ii ease of tho artistic tem

UI STILL UNEASY
Initial Gains From 2 to 15 Points
Over Yesterday's Close Are
Not Sustained
NO PANICKY CONDITIONS
New York. Nov. lft. There was lit
tle semblance of the acute demoraliza
tion which marked the late dealings
M'sterday when the stock market
opened this' morning. While there was
n natural degree of feverishness which
iisiiiiII) follows a period of violent lluc
tuations, tho general tone showed de
cided improvement.
The initial quotations were estab
lished from '' to 1f -points above yes
terday's closing prices, the wider gains
being established by the speculative spe
cialties which had been the hnrdest
pressed in the drastic liquidation move
ment of the preceding session.
The opening market rellectcd a lib
eral supply of supporting orders, which
had been judiciously placed to protect
the nun i' Milnerable spots. It indicated
thnt the more important tliuinclnl in
terests hail put their shoulders under
the market and were determined to
check ,the needless sacrifice of security
values and to avert the possibility of
nnvpanieky Conditions.
While the opening gains were not
sustained there was a notable absence
of urgent liquidating pressure. The
yerj best kind of buying was notes in
the ore seasoned industrials nnd rail
road stocks, (,'rucible Steel wus among
the few exceptions, losing fi points.
, ithin the Inst hnlf hour the market's
tone became somewhat irregular. Gen
eral Motors contributed to the. fresh
iliisettlement by forfeiting more tlinu
half of its 1.1 point opining recovery.
Prominent financial intercut were
open in their denunciation of those re
sponsible for the talk of the possibility
VJ-i'"' ,m"rli''t running into n panic.
VWnlo there has been some demoraliza
tion, there is not the slightest posibility
of panicky conditions developing. Tho
enforced liquidatoin of stock exchange
loans was imperative in order to cor
rect an unsound and unhealthy ovcr-in-llnted
credit situation.
Iiepented warnings had been given bv
the leading banking interests but certain
pool ami clique combination, who were
responsible for the recent estrnvagnnt
speculative movement in a limited num
ber of industrial specialties, saw tit to
dlsrrgnid these warnings.
An unbiased analysis of yesterday's
violent shakedown will clearly reveal
thnt the onl serious deeiin'es were
iiffcred by stocks which hnd boon in
llated to prices beyond all sense of rcn
Miii. Seasoned securities with intrinsic
value suffered little, the market depre
ciation in the latter seldom, extending
over .'! points.
Much of the buses sustained by the
violent lollipse of the iullatod specu
lative specialties represented the wiping
out of paper piolits.
Technical Situation Iprotcs
linnking interests stated toiinj that
the technical position of the stock mar
ket had been materially improved bv
the liquidation' of, the over-extended
speculative accounts. While the worst
of the adjustment process had li'i
seen the market was likely to con
tinue in a highly feverish state until
the cleaning out process hnd boon com
pleted. They held to the view thnt there is
little prospect of materlnl easing off in
tho money rates or nil increase in the
supply for stock market accommoda
tions until tho brokers get their "houses
in order." The situation, as strained
ns it was. cannot be csscutlnll) changed
by two days' liquidation, hut the liqui
dating movement must continue until
the market excesses have been eradi
cated. They also assert there is no reason
tor any one to sacrifice seasoned in
vestment securities. It is a time, they
state, for everybody to keep their heads.

wartime prohibition act affecting the
sale of beer.
They nro, however, undecided ns to
when they can place 4 per cent beer on
draught. A warning issued by Internal
Revenue Collector George F. O'Shau
nessy has been taken to mean that
saloonkeepers who take advantage of
the court's action and sell stronger
beverages than one-half of 1 per cent
will become liable to prosecution later
should n higher court reverse Judge
Uro.vn's decision.
The Nnrragiinsett Rrewing Co.,
through whoso petition yesterday's ac
tion was taken, was reported today as
ready to deliver 4 per cent beer ns soon
as it is considered safe to do so. Com
pany officials declined to reveal their
plans, however, declaring that the de
cision "m.iy and may not" result In
a resumption of the distribution of 4
per cent beer.
Long before the decision was made

V.J Tho war prohibition nnd enforce
ment nets were attacked again in Judge'"1
Walter Evans's Federnl Court here to
day, the second day of arguments in
it suit to test their constitutionality.
The suit was brought on behalf of
the Wright & Taylor aud the Hrown
Forman Distilling Cos., of this city,
and seeks to prevent government inter?
ference with sale of nearly a million
gallons of tax-paid whisky owned by
the companies.
Judge Evans declared from the,
bench yesterday that lie was "firmly .
of the opinion" thnt wnytimr prohi
bition is unconstitutional, a.-id indicated
a disposition to grant an injunction re
straining the government froiji interfer
ing with sale of the whisky known as
tloor stock, owned by the companies.
In a similar suit recently Judge
Evans declared the war prohibition net
uucoiistitutiouul mid granted an in
junction to the Kentucky Distilleries,
nnd Warehouse Co. forbidding inter
ference by the government with sale of
approximately 00,000,0.10 gallons of
whisky. This case was appealed to the
I'nited States Supreme Court nnd a
hearing will be had o1; it some timo
next week, probably November 20.
Granting of an injunction in the
present suit would permit sale of tnx
nnid whisky by the two companies.
However, according to nn "mncemeiit by
District Attorney Gregory, "if the Su
preme Court reverses Judge Evans's de
cision on the suit appealed to it by
the government, then. In my opinion,
nil persons who sell distilled spirits be
tween now nnd the time of rendition of
the opinion by the Supreme Court would
be liable to prosecution."
