SANTA GENEROUS IN WALL STREET $400,000,000 in Christmas Divi- dends and Bonuses to Be Distributed. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 24.—With special Christmas dividends by large corporations probably aggregating be- tween $400,000,000 and $500,000,000, in- cluding more than $200,000,000 to com- mon shareholders of the United States Steel Corporation, Santa Claus has been coplously generous again this vear on his annual visit to the finan- cial district. ‘Although no ' accurate estimate of bonus distribution is possible, bank employes will receive greater bene- fits than 4 year ago, while employes of brokerage houses probably will receive less. Bonuses by various banking and brokerage institutions are estimated in the neighborhood of $50,000,000, the amount of individual distributions ranging from 5 to 25 per cent of an- nual salary, although a few probably are larger. Virtually all Stock Exchange houses did an enormous business last year, but this year big profits were con- fined to relatively few houses which handled market operations of large traders and institutions, or participat- ed in_underwriting syndicates. The New York Stock Exchange gave its employes a-6 per cent bonus on yearly salary. LAWYER FEES IN.GERMANY FIXED BY FEDERAL LAW By the Associated Press, BERLIN, December .—Lawyers, whose fees in Germany are fixed by federal law, are getting little conso- lation out of the proposed increase in tariffs approved by the committee on legal affairs of the Reichstag. For cases in equity involving amounts up to $260 an attérney can collect 5 per cent. The percentage scale decreases as the sums involved increase, until a case In which $1,000,000 is at stake mets the attorney one-fifth of 1 per cent.

MARIE’S CAFE PASSES. Famous Paris Restaurant Gives Way to Modern Bar. PARIS, December 24 (#).—Gourmets of many natlons, including not a few Americans, are mourning the passing of the Restaurant Maire on the corner of the Grand boulevard and the boulevard de Strassbourg, which has given way to a modern and plebeian cafe-bar. Maire’s, modest in its pfices, boasted one of the most distinguished clienteles of any partisan eating house, and lawmakers, judges and cabinet ministers were proud of the fact that its head waiter knew them and their gastronomic eccentricities. Literary and artistic notables were among its steadiest customers and distinguished foreigners arriving in Paris were oftén uken there. ASSAILS MEAT EMB EMBARGO. Argentina Wants U. 8.

In an opén letter to the citizens of | Washington, Cuno H. Rudolph, presi. | dent of the Associated Charities and {until recently president of the Bonrd‘ | of District Commissioners, today made a last-minute appeal for contributions| to the Christmas Opportunity Fund in order that the homes of needy ones may not have to be broken up dur- -ing the coming year for lack of funds. With but a few hours remaining fm" rfortunate persons to remember these unfortunate ones, Mr. Rudolph ap- i pealed for a “generous response” for the caring for the 61 children and 23 adults listed in the annual “Christ- mas Opportunities.” “In this vear of abundant prosper- ity,” he said, “it cannot be that there is not in our community money enough to go around, that we have not the resources with which to re- lieve extreme poverty and threatened distress in these homes, enough to as- sure to these 14 families the joy of this Christmastide. “I realize the numerous calls for one’s benevolence, appeals that pull at the heart strings at this holiday season. We all want every one to be happy at least for this one day in the year, and most’ of all the little children. But I ask you to remember that this “Opportunities” appeal ls{ not limited to the holiday season. It means a roof over the heads of 84 mothers, children and invalid fathers for full 365 days of the year to come. It means three meals a day and proper clothing for them. It means the opportunity for education for the children and protection against sick- ne: With a generous contribution now from all who are more fortunate than | such @7 these we can underwrite this | real insurance against poverty and illness so that none of these 61 chil- | dren need suffer innocently for the shortcomings on misfortunes of their parent. “And so I ask the people of Wash- ington to remember these children that none of these 14 homes shall be broken up during the coming year for lack of funds. (Signed) “CUNO H. RUDOLPH, ““President of Associated Charities.” With the morning’s mail acknowl- edeged in The Star today, the 14 Christmas opportunities fund of the Assoclated Charis is in receipt of $9,112, leaving $ 0 still needed to close the 11 opportunities which are still short of their quota.
