Private Detectives in Chicago Charged
with Murder.

with Murder.
Chicago. November 15.-The inquest
this afternoon over the body of Frank
White, shot while riding in buggy
last evening, led to startling develop
ments. The discoveries made may re-
suit most seriously to six members Of
the Berry Detective Agency, including
the superintendent. The circumstances
show that the buggy in which the two
men were riding was brought almost
to a standstill when the tragedy oc-
Cured and that the detectives who
were detailed to assist in the arrest Of
Clarence White, crowded about the We
hicle and emptied their revolvers in the
direction of the innocent man, who
was killed. As a result of the police in
vests cation, a wholesale arrest OF the
members of the agency was ordered by
Inspector Fitzpatrick, and tonight
seven men, in addition to W. J. Dix,
previously arrested, were locked up at
police headquarters. A search for one
more is also being made.
The circumstances leading up to the
killing were peculiar. Frank Whlte,
reputable citizen, has a brother, car
ence. who is a burglar, and for Whom
the Berry detectives have been Watch-
ing. Clarence was reported last night
TO be at his mothers home, where his
brother. Frank. lived. Two men left
the house. driving away in a buggy.
The signal was given by the men on
watch. and other detectives rushed to
the street and stopped he horse. the
shooting followed. and Frank White
was shot dead. The other occupant OF
the buggy escaped.

R. G. DUNS REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York. November 15.-R. G.
Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of trade
will say: The scare about gold exports
had no real Significance and the stock
market has been recovering. The col
lapse of Kafir speculations abroad
forced many to realize on Americans
held. and the impression that our gov
ernment may have to borrow again op-
crates to our disadvantage. Wheat per-
p1exes the oldest inhabitant. There is
really little reason TO expect yield
larger than last years, but western re-
ceipts S,202 S64 bushels, against 4.O26,-
639 last year, do not mean scarcity Of
wheat. The startling fact is that the
demand for products of iron and steel
falls off, Notwithstanding the increase
in output of pig, and though only fewi
concerns have closed or reduced work
or wages on account Of lack Of orders,
prices are sinking, having declined 2.7
per cent. for the week and GA per cent.
from the highest point. Bessemer pig,
billets, grey forge, bar, tank steel plates,
structural angles and wire nails have
all sold lower within the past week,
though quotations are kept up as far as
possible by associations.
For the past week failures have been
2S3 in the United States, against 270
last year, and 40 in Canada, against 3S
last year.

Woodsfeld, O., November 15.-About
II o'clock last night, as Deputy Sheriff
VIII Keyser was on his way home
through the alley in the rear Of the
Monroe County National Bank, he saw
three men lighting matches near the
stable of James Latzeller. The deputy
went to them and asked what they were
doing, and received the reply that they
were hunting a place to stay over night.
He offered to find them a place, when
one of them knocked him down, an
other seized his legs, and the third
placed a handkerchief over his mouth,
He was then securely bound and gag
ged, and one Of the men stayed to watch
him.
The other two went TO the Monroe
County National Bank and forced an
entrance to the banking room through
the cellar They had sledges and
chisels and succeeded in cutting
through the outer door to the vault.
The second door was too strong for
them. however, and though they
worked at it until a. M, drilling two
holes in it and exploding powder sew
eral times, they could not make 1t
yield.
They then returned to Deputy Keyser
and took $50 from his pockets and left
across the hills.
Deputy Keyser got free about 6 a. m.
and gave the alarm, and posse was
formed, but thus far no one has been
arrested. 1t is thought they went TO-
wards the river, as several persons saw
strangers going that way this morn
ing. One was a tall, slender man, and
the other two short and stout.
A reward of $500 has been offered for
their arrest.
