BUSINESS TROUBLES.
A Heavy Operator at Sioux City Makes an
Assignment.

SIOUX CrTY, Ia, April 25.-D. T.
Hodges, the largest financial operator
here, filed an assignment for The benefit
of creditors this afternoon, with no pref
erences, with E. Hubbard as assignee.
The failure is attributed to the bad state
of the money market and inability to sus-
tain the Pacific Short Line and Sioux City
u Northern railroad on individual credit.
None of the local banks and merchants
are involved, but the Union Trust COM
pany, through which much paper has
been issued, will suffer.
Soon after Hedges assignment the
Union Loan Trust company closed its
doors as a measure to protect the in
terests of both creditors and depositors,
owing to endorsements on customers
proper. Hedges schedule of assets,
stocks and bonds, not including real es-
tate, is 81 1923, $40.
All assignments are the result of a
meeting creditors held last night. 1t has
been known some time that Hedges was
seriously embarrassed by his attempts to
maintain two railroads built by the Sioux
City Pacific Short Line and Sioux City
and Northern. Much of his vast prop
erty has been swallowed up in
this endeavor. A. s. Garrettson
has been negotiating for money in
the east Win Wnlcn to tide
over the crisis. 1t is understood that he
was successful, but the money did not
come in time to save Hedges. The rela-
tions Of the latter to the trust company
were such that the two had to 60 down
together, and the Loan and Trust COM
pany was sufficiently involved to make it's
assignment necessary.
In the schedule Of assets of all concerns
speculative stocks in local enterprises
figure largely 1t is rumored that Cud-
ahy brothers will take up Hedges stock
in the stock yards, of which Hedges was
a large shareholder. The company will
probably have to be reorganized but the
business will continue as usual, as the
company is on sound financial basis.
Tonight it was limited in railroad cir
cles that 81 ZOO, 900 of money of President
Hill, of the Great Northern, who is a
friend of Hedges, would be in Garrettson' S
hands tomorrow, and deal will be made
which will change the ownership of
Terminal property and Hedges other
lines. During the day one of the local
banks which was heavy creditor was
threatened with bad run, but the an
nouncement of other banks that they
would stand by it quieted apprehensions
and the run ceased.

THE ALASKA LOST
She Is Lying at the Bottom of the Ocean
OH the California Coast.

She Is Lying at the Bottom of the Ocean
OH the California Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-The Ameri
can ship Alaska, which has been looked
for at this port for the past few days, and
for the safety of which great apprehension
was felt, is lying at the bottom of the
ocean off Trinidad, on the northern Cali
fornia coast. The captain and crew of
fifteen arrived here this morning on the
schooner Melancthon. The Alaska was
bound for this port from Whatcom, Bel
bingham bay. with 1, $50 tons OF coal. She
left Whatcom on the 18th inst, and
shortly after the tug dropped her off Cape
Flattery she sprung a leak. The water
came in at the rate of an inch an hour,
but the rate rapidly increased to three
inches on last Thursday, and despite all
work the water began to rise and from
inches the flood rose twenty feet
On the 22nd inst, shortly after noon
the Melancthn hove in sight and was sig
nailed. At this time there was two feet
of water in the hold. The boats were
launched and the ship abandoned, with
no hope of her floating. The Alaska was
owned by Samuel Blair and was built in
Kennebeck, Me-. in 1868. She is valued
at go, 600 with an insurance of S10,0 GOO.

ARMORY BURNED.
Two Persons Cremated in Chicago Ar
morv.

mory.
CHICAGO, April 25.-The magnificent
new armory of the first regiment Hi
nois National guards was destroyed by
fire early this morning. Two men are
known to have persisted in the flames and
it is supposed six others shared the same
fate. Two others were rescued with the
utmost difficulty by the iremen alter
they were badly burned. The dead are:
HARRY JOHNSON,
WALTER WILLIAMS,
colored janitors, why slept in the build
ing. The injured men are the electric
light linemen, who will recover. The
property loss is over $500, 200, including
$3.50, 900 on the building, handsome fur
nishings of the company quarters, arms,
accoutrements, uniforms, regiment, and
the scenery of the Trochadero concert
troup.
The fire started in the kitchen on the
second floor and secured good Roadway
before it was noticed. Owing to the
heavy blank walls built to withstand a
siege, it was impossible for the iremen to
get at the flames. The unfOrtunateS on
the inside were unable to open the wicket
in the great oaken sallyport and the
people outside were unable to batter it
down, SO they persisted mlserably, ike
rats in a trap.
The electric light hnemen, stringing
wires for the troubadors' performance,
were caught in the third story, but es-
escaped through the windows to ledge,
from which they were rescued in the nick
OF time by the fremen, badly burned.
The rumOrs that several other Hnemen
were in the building and that a half dozen
firemen were buried under falling walls
are not confirmed on investigation. The
regiment also lost valuable trophies. -,
Two more men were reported injured
this evening. Thomas McEwan. col
ored waiter, had a miraculous escape
from death. He was sleeping in a room
on the ground floor and when the
roof fell he was pinned down to the floor
by heavy beam which although break
ing no bones prevented him from es-
Gaping. In this position he remained
from the time of the fire until 5 O'Clock
this evening. When the fremen took
him out his hair was burned off and he
sustained several other bad burns. Off
GERS of the regiment tonight decided to
rebuild as soon as possible.

THE "OLD GUARD"
A Reunion of the "so6'' Who Stood by
Grant at Chicago.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-Stalwart
Republicanism was glorifed and extolled
and brilliant leaders we're eulogized to-
night at a reunion here OF the "Old
Guard, - remnant of the famous ''306''
whose unwaver1ng lines withstood the
shock OF thirty six ballots at the Chicago
convention and went down with Grants
banner floating defiantly before his tri-
umphant opponents. At the meeting here
this afternoon about sixty eight OF the old
delegates were present when the 306 old
guard association was formed. ex-
Governor Geo. s. Boutwell,, of Massa-
chusetts, was elected president for the
ensuing year; Governor houtt, of Colo
RADIO, vice president; Thos. j. Powers, of
Pennsylvania, secretary; and Andrew j.
Kaufman, of Pennsylvania, treasurer.
The real object in the formation of the
association was to cement the bonds of
old acquaintance, keep green the mem
cries of Grant. Conkling and Logan and
foster the feeling of commandership.
And these objects were enthusiastically
carried out at a dinner this evening at the
Bellevue Hotel.
