impossible to fix the responsibility for
the disaster on any one person, but that
the owners Peter Gumry and Robert c.

further, he had not examined the safety

The city boiler inspector is censured
for failing to inspect the boiler after re-
cent repairs were made on it.
The report closes with a recommends
ton that an ordinance be passed regu-
lating the use of steam boilers.

Wichita has two sets of patrolmen on

NAPLES, Aug. 29.-The cause of the
fresh troubles between the Prince and
Princess Colonna is the fact that during
the princess visit to London in June, the
prince obtained control of the boys, and
Wnen the princess returned, refused to
give them up.
As the court gave the mother control
OF the children, year ago. the boys
visit to the father being six weeks in
each year, the princess has applied for
redress to the court, which ordered the
surrender of the boys to the mother. The
prince refused to give them up, and pro
ceedings are now being taken to enforce
obedience. The Associated Press has
been authorized to state that any asser-
ton to t1e effect that money has been
allowed. is absolutely false, and that the

NATIONAL FINANCES.
ANOTHER SPECIAL MESS
AGE TO CONGRESS.
The President Sends in an Urgent APP
peal for Aid In Protecting the Gold
Reserve-PrOmpt Action by the Leg
islatiOn Branch Deemed Necessary.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-At 4:4O
o'clock yesterday afternoon the presi-
dent sent the following message to con-
gress and it was read at once in the
senate, which was the only branch in
session at the time:
To the Congress: In my last an
nual message the evils of our present
financial system were plainly pointed
out and the causes and means of the
depletion of government gold were
explained.
1t was therein stated that after all
the efforts that had been made by the
executive branch of the Government
to protect our gold reserve by the is
suance of bonds amounting to more
than $l62, 900, 900, such reserve then
amounted to but little more than $780,
1000, that about SIG, 900, 900 had been
withdrawn from such reserve during
the month next previous to the date of
that message, and quite large with
drawals for shipment in the immedi-
ate future were predicted. The con-
tingency then feared has reached us,
and the withdrawal of gold since the
communication referred to and others
that appear inevitable, threaten such
a depletion in our government gold re-
serve as brings us face to face with
the necessity of further action for pro-
lection. The condition is intensified
by the prevalence in certain quarters
of sudden and unusual apprehension
and timldity in business circles
In view, however, of the peculiar
situation now confronting us, l have
ventured to herein express the earnest
hope that the Congress, IN default of
the Inauguration of better system of
finance will not take recess from
its labors before it has by legisla-
tive enactment or declaration,
done something, not only to
remind those apprehensive among
our people that the re-
sources of this government and a
scrupulous regard for honest dealing,
affords sure guarantee of unguestioned
safety and soundness, but to reassure
the world that with these factors and
the patriotism of our citizens, the
ability and determination of our ma
ton to meet in any circumstances
every obligation it inVlrs do not admit
OF question.
l ask at the hands of the Congress
such prompt aid as it alone has the
power to give to prevent, in time of
fear and apprehension, any sacrifice of
the peoples interest and the public
funds or impairment of our public
credit in an effort by the executive ac-
ton to relieve the dangers of the pres
emit contingency.
