ROKEHS SUSPENDED FOR STOCK FLURRY NEW Y'ORK, Jan. 12. Simeon B. Chapin, head of the New Y'ork and Chicago firm of S. B.

Chapin was suspended from the privileges of the New York stock exchange today for 60 days for participation In the Rock Island fiasco December 27 last, when alleged ill-managed manipulation sent the common shares of the Rock Island company from 50 to SI and back again in twelve minutes. F. D. Countlss, one of Chapln's partners, and the only other board member of the firm, was suspended at the same time for 30 days. As Wall street has analyzed the situation, however, S.

B. Chapin Co. acted for Daniel G. Reed, chairman of the board of directors of the Rock Island, or others, in purchase of Rock Island stock. While they looked for a selling order it was not rortncoming, thus nipping the intended "match sale." which would have threatened a corner.

BROWN PREDICTS FOOD STUFF FAMINE BOSTON, Jan. 12 "We must increase the production per acre by more intelligent methods or face the relentless day when we shall not produce food enough to supply our own necessities," said President William C.

Many representatives of New England railroad Interests eathered about the banquet tables.

President Brown said the most por-tentious cloud upon the horizon is the steady, relentless increase in the price of everything which goes to make up the cost of living.

"If the converging lines of production and consumption of United States continue to approach each other as they have during the last ten years," said Brown, "before the middle of this decade is reached, the last vessel loaded with agricultural products of this country will have left our shores, exporting grain, elevators In seaboard cities will stand empty and this great nation, like those of the old world, will be looking for a place to buy necessaries of life."

Paulhan was the Idol of a crowd tonight. He made the great record shortly after losing the speed record of the course to Glenn II. Curtiss. The sun was low toward the sea and shadows began to gather when he made his decision to go higher In the air than, any man In heavier-than -air machine ever had attempted. Paulhan pointed north, went up a thousand feet, passed over the center of the field agaln and then turned north and up.

At an estimated height of 1300 feet Paulhan descried a great circle as if feeling the currents. Wh'n the word had spread that he had beaten the world's record, the vast throng was roused to frenzy. At five o'clock the machine became plainer. Paulhan came down easily In front of the grand stand after nearly 51 minutes. As he leaped from the machine, his cheeks glowing and eyes flashing, he was grabbed by friends and carried to the grand stand, where he bared his head amid thunder of cheers.

Curtiss and other aviators made short flights, Curtiss setting the speed record for the course. The I.Ist of Prize.

CRIES OF 'THROW HIM FRONT CHAIR" ARE HEARD Sollitt Turns Deaf Ear to Cries for Roll Call and Physical Violence Is Escaped by Motion That Committee Adjourn and Report Progress. (Special to The Herald.) SPRINGFIELD. Jan.

12 After tumultuous scenes In the Illinois general assembly today a house committee of 15 was appointed to draft a primary biil and report it tomorrow. The senate, after an incipient riot over roll calls on amendments, voted down all amendments to the primary bill under discussion and the measure advanced to a third reading. Deneen's deep waterway bill passed the senate 2g to 16. The bill carries $20,000,000 bond issue. Discussion of primary legislation In the house committee of the whole this morning threw that body Into scenes of wildest confusion.

In which personal reputation of the member were trampled on. and threats wera made to throw Chairman Sollitt, bodily from the chair. It was a reminder old days in the legislature when riotous nssembly-men used force and arms to carry into execution an organized attack of parliamentary anarchy. For several moments after the climax of the situation had been reached and the house had arisen from the committee of the wholo. many Democrats and Republican members were fomented with aiiKor.

The chaotic situation was the result of Chairman Kollitt's emulation ot -tiiicie joe caimans handy use of. the gavel while members were crying for a roll call. Minority Leader Browne had Just made one of hi impassioned pleas for Democracy and a primary law. He wound up his discourse by offering a motion that the house report out the Staymntea bill, known as House Hill No. 16 to the floor of the house for action.

His motion received a second from Representative Edward J. King, once leader of the band of nope. From thon on substitute motions flowed in disorder until Chairman Sollitt lost track of the to All. Representative Shanahan. leader ot the Shurtleff Republicans made a speech declaring it to be unjust to all, to have affairs take this course and suggested that a subcommittee be appointed to consider ail primary bills.

Representative Hamilton at this suggestion secured the floor and offered a substitute for Browne's motion, which provided for the appointment of two subcommittees, one to consider direct plurality biils nnd the other to consider d'-lesate bills. Representative Stearns then moved a committee of five be appointed to consider all primary bills and report to the house next Wednesday, and offered his motion as a substitute for Hamilton's motion. Another substitute motion came from Representative R. E. Wilson, who Is Interested In a bill of his own.

Wilson's substitute provided for the appointment of two committees, of fifteen members each to consider and report back to the house on direct pluaiity bills and delegate bills. Stearns then came back with anotner sub stitute hich provided for the appoint ment of a committee of fifteen to consider all primary legislation and re port back to the house tomorrow. Warming Up. At this Juncture Chairman Sollitt declared lie recognized only the motion offered by Hamilton, declaring Stearns' latest motion had received no second. whereupon Representative Shanahan Jumped to his feet and declared he would second the motion.

During the argument and while Browne and a few Republicans were clamoring for a roll call. Sollitt put Hamilton's substitute motion providing for the appointment of two committees. He called for a viva voce vote and gavelled through the Hamilton substitute. The situation then bristled with In tensity. Browne was roaring in a loud voice, calling upon Sollitt to take a roll call and not make the members of the house lose faittnn him.

Stearns also was clamoring for a roll call, but Sollitt turned a deaf ear to the en treaties of those who asked for a roll call. Representative O'Brien sitting In the front row of the minority side veiled to Sollitt, "Get out of the chair if wo leitl llirnw VOU out." Sollitt Not Thrown Out. Representative Chester W. Church came to the temporary aid of the chairman by moving that the com mute arise, and report progress. Th committee arose and Speaker Shurt- leff returned to his seat.

During the excitement Browne requested Sollitt not to emulate the action of the man who usually sits at the Speaker dealt by using the gavel too freely. Sollitt reported progress and members from the minority side wished to know what progress had been made. As soon as the members reached terra firraa again after rivalling the feats of professional aviators. Church secured the floor and moved that the speaker appoint a committee consist ing of fifteen members for tne purpose of considering primary legisla tion. Speaker Shurtleff ruled that according to the rules that the house could not undo anything that had transpired (Continued oa Sixth Face.)

12 Roberta De Janon the Philadelphia heiress, and Frederick Cohen, the waiter with whom she eloped Dec. 29, left for Philadelphia today in charge of Chicago detectives. The party is due in Philadelphia at 5:47 p. m. tomorrow.

Philadelphia detectives observed the greatest secrecy In getting the elopers out of the city. They were taken to the depot in a closed carriage with the curtains drawn. They were smuggled into the baggage room and were taken to a room below in the freight elevator. From here they were hurried aboard tho train and the curtains of tha iiraivinir room and section reserv ed were drawn. Cohen's picture and measurements by the Bertillon system were taken.

Detectives A. J. Emanuel and James Scanlan said they were able to finish redeeming some of the jewelry the girl had pawned. Cohen was taken to the Harrison street police station and met Miss de Janon for the first time since he was arrested. Cohen pinched her cheek and said: "I see by the papers that you appear to think more of your dog than you do of "Why.

that is untrue." replied Miss de Janon. "You know I don't." Cohen Exiiectn Five Year. "I suppose they will give me about five years," said Cohen, "but I don't care. I had the pleasure of making you happy for awhile anyway. When you get back home don't tell anything but the truth; that is all I can do.

I guess everything will come out all right. I treated you like my own daughter." According to the detectives. Cohen was known as Ferdinand Cohen in Philadelphia, and the warrant taken out by the girl's grandfather is issued in that name. It also Is said Cohen was known as De la Chappellc in New Y'ork and Fred Cook at the Sheeps-head Bay race tarck. "My father and my grandfather may as well make up their minds that Fred is not to be prosecuted." said the little girl in discussing her affairs.

"He did not abduct me or induce me to rnu away. 116 has been my protector and nothing more. I am grateful to him and If they insist on prosecuting him I will testify In his favor." Tumult in Illinois general assembly. Frenchman makes new aviation height record. Dr.
