Associated Bank Statement

NEW YORK, Sept. THE New York
Financier says this week: The staten tent
OF the associated banks of New York for

markable one IN several features. The
loans reached the unusual figure OF $5,-
no. 900. which brings the total loan item
to $5ls. 800 800. or "a, 76l, 100 higher than
the largest amount ever reported in the
history OF the New York clearing house.
The increase was the result largely of le-
gitimate business, coupled, of course,
with greater degree of activity in ex-
change circles and the usual shifting of
loans incident to early September settle.
NETS. 1t will be seen that business is
maintaining its strength without a balk.
The demand for money from the interior
continues. The market has not adj
vanced. There is firmer tone dis
played, and the material reduction OF S4-
1903, loo in the reserve brings the amount
of excess cash down to $34, 846 u.s. which
will operate in favor of better rates. The
continuance of gold shipments lie having
it's effect on the cash holdings of the
banks. The total loss of cash to the banks
amounted to So, S21. 500 for the week, lega

With Skirts-Ahem

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Thirty
young women waved fia;irons out of the
windows of the Sunset Laundry on Eighth
street yesterday morning and shrieked
denunciations on the head of Michael
Bricwedel, the superintendent. They
we're locked in. The girl who made the
discovery threw herself against the door,
but 1t would not move. Then thirty
young women began to cry and scurry
around trying to find means of exit.
The windo of the ironing room they
were in were thirty feet above the
ground, and IN looking out one OF them
esp;ed Bricwedel.
You'll lock us in, will you? Girls,
get something and throw at him."
The demand was obeyed. A dozen
fiatirons were called into service, but no
ore was hurt. and the girls crowded so
close to the windows that they interfered
with their own aim. Their eyes snapped
and they denounced Bricwedel in the
sharpest possible terms. Another shower
of fiatirons forced him to retire, but the
girls remained at the windows ready to
fire at him again should he put in an APP
pearance.
Some of them called for assistance and
several sheriffs deputies rushed around
the neighborhood to get ladder. as they
could not unlock the door. The ladder
was secured and one of the deputies
elm bed up, expecting to receive thanks,
but he didn't
YOU'RE brute You brute You are.
Get out of this!''
The way in which he was greeted
caused him TO retire as they asked him.
% What did you let that fellow lock US
in for?''
Then the girls gathered up their skirts
and bravely went out of the window and
down the ladder to the ground. They
looked around for Bricwedel, but he was
not in sight.

A JUDICIAL DRESSAAKER
Yardstick and TapeIine in the
Courtroom
MAY IN MEMS TROUSERS
Her Garments Didn't Have Yards
Enough
Story Of Three jolly Girls Who Went Out to
See Bohemia and All Were
Punched


Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. THE inev-
liable question as to how far the new
woman may go in adopting the attire of
man has been precipitated in San Francis
CO by. Police Judge Charles A. Low. In
his court he decided that there is point
beyond which, if woman stride in
trousers, she is guilty OF an infraction OF
the law. In other words, the judge sp-
preached the subject with a yard stick
and tape line. He did not know exactly
how many yards of cloth it takes to keep
a woman on the legal side OF propriety,
but he insisted nevertheless, that there
is dividing line. Two yards maze into
bifurcate,, for example, might be the
proper thing, while one yard, perhaps,
was delicate question, but in the case
before him Judge Low decided that he
had the right to say that the young wo-
man had not used sufficient material in
the making OF her attire.
The defendant, who was a tall, attract
i've blonde. had given her name as May.
Smith, and she insisted that that was
her true name. A few days ago she came
to this city from Sacramento. With TWO
young woman friends she saw San Fran
cisico and saw it In bloomers. They
wanted to explore Bohemia at night.
They wanted to see its lights and snad-
ows, but 1t was out of the question for
three pretty girls to do the town at night
unattended. They did not want to take
man along with them. for then they
would have to take chaperon along too.
So the Sacramento girl consented to
don trousers and other masculine attire.
True. as Miss May Smith insisted in
court, there were laces and pleats and
things as evidence that she was not really
as mannish as she appeared. They looked
at The Butterflies at a local theater, and
then went to a cafe ana were enjoying
themselves over oysters sand some extra
dry. when the waiter caught CLEAN of
soomsthing sparkling in the lobe of the
escorts ears. The new woman in her
evolution toward masculine ways had for
gUttsn to remove her earrings. And so
she found herself at the police station
with two fearful friends. But she held
out resolutely, put her hands into her
trousers pockets, and gave $50 for her re-
appearance like little man, and ordered
hack.
She expected exoneration in the police
court. believing that the judiciary of
big city would be up to date on the ques-
ton Of woman's bebloomered strides to-
ward her larger sphere. Judge Lowe be-
lieves that woman should be known by
the clothes she wears. He was going to
put her in prison and compel her to wear
a dress, but he relented, confiscated her
trousers to the state. and dismissed her
with a severe lecture on ethics, dress
making and the law.

his announcements over his own name.
The good people of Los Angeles and
Southern California can depend upon ID
that at all times will DIR. SHORES stand
between them and the fakirs above referred
to. Since opening his offices to the Los
Angeles public one year ago, DR.. SHORES
has never made an announcement nor .
promise that he has not faithfully carried
out, as the thousands who have treated
with him will testify.
DR.. A. j. SHORES, always to the fore,
was the first to introduce the low rate Of
$500 per month, until cured, for.the treat
ment for Catarrh and Chronic Diseases,
with all medicines furnished, and has
thereby caused CONSERVATION among the
misf1ts of the profession, who charge ex-
orbitant rates for incompetent services
and administer drugs and nostfums which
destroy the delicate Innings Of the nose,
throat and stomach of their patients. The
crowds of grateful patients who daily
thronR DR.. SHORES parlors is sufficient
evidence Of the public's appreciation Of
DR.. SHORES efforts in behalf of suffering

Indians Issue q MANIFESTO

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. IA special
from Chamberlain, South Dakota, to the
Tribune says:
The Sioux at the Rosebud agency, under
the leadership of Hollow Horn Bear, a
powerful and influential chief, have warn.
ed Indian Agent Wright and the ON
ployees to vacate the agency within twen-
ty-one days and threaten to burn tho
agency building. Determination on the
part of the Indian agency to reduce rates
paid the Indians for hauling freight from
Valentine, Nebraska, to the agency, is
the cause of the trouble. Although a
trivial matter in the eyes Of the white
people, the Ind isns took mortal offense
and runners sent to distant camps
brought into the agencv about 1900 angry
and excited Indians. The agent attempt
ed to appease the wrath of the Indians
finally by consuming to compromise on
the reduction. The Indians were not
satisfied and further trouble is appre-
hended. Crow Dog, the slayer years ago
of Spotted Tail, has been lodged in the
agency jail for the part he took in tho
present difficulty. Fort Niobrara is the
nearest military post, but the troops are
absent on their regular summer field va
cation. Messages from Valentine state
that settlers adjacent to the reservatio n
are becoming uneasy.
