Rogers had married Miss Caroline yiddings, the sister of a professor at Columbia university, and was then li ing with her, but divided his time be- tween her home and an apartment where the accused woman lived with | her children.

Scovill cent, regular Manufacturing is a two per ock and has been in great demand for several months. To- day the stock was in strong demand and although $550 per share was bid, none of it was thrown on the market. ¥rom November 1 to March 1 in- clusive, Scovill stock paid an extra dividend of five per cent. per month. In April this extra dividend was in- creased to eight per cent and now it has been boosted to twelve per cent. It is significant that since b ss be- gan to boom this concern has never reduced its extra dividend and it is evidently the intendea policy to pay out a fair proportion of the profits in extra-dividends as the money is made, ither than wait until the golden day are over. It is conservatively esti- mated that Scovill Manufacturing company is making one per cent. per day and as the factory works every day in the month it 1s evident that with the large dividends being paid | only about one third of the income is being paid out.
