BATTLE OF sEAMEN.
ChiIians and Americans Engage
in Deadly Combat.

SANTIAGO, Oct, l7.-The anti Amer
lean feeling. which is very pronounced,
reached a climax last evening in the
streets of Valparaiso. A number of
sailors of the U. S. S. Baltimore, now
in that port, were walking along
the street, when they were confronted
Some words passed, when 4 fierce fight
followed. There was evidently bad
blood on both sides, and it only needed
a preteXt to bring on a conflict. Both
parties were armed with knives
and pistols, which were free
w used during he squabble.
When the combatants were separated by
the police and bystanders it was found
that one Of the Baltimore sailors had
been killed and five others seriously
wounded. Several of the Chilians were
also badly hurt.
This was the first time the Balti-
month. The intendente Of the city had
assured Capt. Schley, of the Baltimore,
that his sailors would be perfectly safe
on CHILEAN soil The feeling to-day be-
tween Americans and Chilians is
very strong. Several additional
fights occurred to-day among the
sailors, out they were not so serious as
that of Yesterday. Tie dead sailor of
the Baltimore Will be buried tomorrow,
and an armed force will be landed from
the Baltimore in order to furnish mill
tary guard OF honor for the occasion.
Trouble is feared, as it will be Sunday
and election day. Gillian officials, alive
to the gravity Of the occasion, have
again promised TO protect the Americans
from assault under all circumstances.
WASHINGToN, Oct. H.-Oficial COLI
firmation of the report of fatal ARRAY
between sailors belonging to United
States and Chilian vessels at Valparaiso
yesterday was received this evening by
Acting Secretary Solely, of the navy de-
partment, from Capt. Schley, of the
Baltimore, the only vessel of the United
States navy now at Valparaiso. Capt.
Schley's dispatch does not give
the particulars of the ARRAY. but
it's wording leaves the impression
that the tragedy originated in
street brawl between the sailors.
Captain Schley says that bOatswain's
mate was killed and that six seamen
were injured, how seriously he does not
tell. Nothing about how the Gillian
sailors Jared is mentioned in the dis
patch. Captain Schey says that he is
investigating the matter. No action
has been taken by the navy department,
which will await Captain Schley'S re-
port on the circumstances in the case
before moving in the matter.

FORGED MANY CHECKS,
But His Friends Got Him Out of
His Scrapes.


SPECIAL to the Globe
BUTTE, Mont, Oct. IA man vari-
ously known as j, B. Hutchison, G.. c.
Harrington, G.. c. Mcdonald, George
r. Montgomery and q. II. LambertSon,
has been for some days past getting
checks cashed on the First National
Bank of Helena, the Second National
Bank of st. Paul and the First National
Bank of Butte. The first check was
for 1925 on the First National OF Helena,
and c. (. Crowley, the business man
who cashed the check, suspected some
thing wrong, and telegraphed and ascer-
tanned there was nothing on deposit
there. Hutchison, however, squared
the matter before the police were mott
fled. a second check was on the First
National of Butte, but was returned
dishOnored, and Hutchinson's atten-
ton being called to it, he
said it was mistake for the
First National Bank of Helena and re-
deemed the check. A third check on
the Second National of st. Paul was
for $1,000, and was caShed by Fred Wey,
of the McDermott hotel, but was re-
turned dishonored. Whenever his at
tentiOn was called to these matters,
Hutchinson at once redeemed his checks.
Yesterday he passed another check on
the st. Paul bank for $50. Complaint
was made, and warrant was issued for
his arrest. His friends got wind of it,
hid him and put him on board the
Northern Pacific train this morning,
also redeemed at least a half-doZen
bogus checks. Apparently. Hutchin-
son has mania for forging checks. He
stayed about town constantly, and made
no attempt to get away until his friends
insisted.

BIG BREAK IN BOSTON,
The Great Shipping Firm Of
Harrison Loring & Co.
Has Failed.
Liabilities Of $4,000, and
Assets Will Only Reach
$4,000.
Anti-American Sentiment in
Chilli eliminates in a
Battle.
One American Sailor Killed
and Several Dangerously
Wounded.

Bos TON, Mass, Oct. 17.-The great
shipping firm of Harrison Loring q
Co., prOprietors of the City Point works,
South Boston, assigned this afternoon
to eX-Ald. Char les II. Allen, of Boston,
and Hon. George W. Quintard, of New
York. The liabilities are stated by Mr..
Loring to be $4,000, while the assets
are nominally put at SOS, 900. which
includes every dolla rs worth of
personal property owned by the indi-
vidual members of the firm, although
the amount is generally believed to be
somewhat exaggerated. The firm is
building United States steel armOred
Cruiser No. II for the government at a
contract price of $G14 GOO, with $1,000
added as speed premium, and is also
constructing half a dozen steel tug
boats for the government, the latter be-
ing nearly completed.
In a statement sent by mail to its
creditors tonight, the firm says the
cause of the collapse was the failure of
the government to make certain pay
ments on the contracts when they were
expected, and the consequent inability
of the firm to meet its own obligations.
This non-payment the firm attributes to
red tape, which encumbers so many
transactions of the government. The
works employ 800 men, and these VIII
on Monday next be paid the full amount
of wages due them. A meeting of the
creditors will be held some time next
week, when the firm will ask an extern
sion. and it confidently asserts that if
the extension is granted all its indebt-
edness will be paid i'll full. The assign
ment was quietly made and was known
to very few people on the street. Har-
rison Loring is seventy years, old and
has for forty years carried on business
in South Boston.
Could Not Realize
1t was expected up to Saturday morn
ing that Mr.. Loring would receive
credit for work done ON the new vessels
now being constructed for tie govern
ment that would enable him to meet all
payments that were due, but
learning that the constructio IL
put upon the contract by
such that he could not realize for some
weeks on the same, he consulted with
some of his largest creditors and many
of the banks which were carrying his
paper. AS some of his notes were COM
ing due Immediately, all assignment
was considered imperative.
The creditors meeting will be held
Oct. "a. Although the failure repre-
scented large sum, it caused no actual
excitement on State street, as the hold
ings Of all local banks are said to be
small. Mr.. Loring was reported as sick
tonight, but his son said: This is
square, honest failure, and we want the
truth known. Our affairs are not so
adjusted that severe individual losses
| can follow. On the contrary. | think
the individual loss will be compare
lively small"

Mrs. Dodge's husband died twenty
years ago. Five years ago all article

the estate and the lost heirs and the fact
that the estate was in the hands OF a
public administrator. Mrs. Dodge

family history related. She laid
the case before relative named
Ross, recently of Minneapolis, and
he went to London to Investigate the
matter. He returned an encouraging
letter, but since then nothing was heard
from him, and it is not known where he
is. Then she placed the matter in the
