Chicago, Sept. 4.-The sensation
caused by the disappearance of Lieu
tenant Colonel William A. Elderkin
commissary general of the Depart
ment of MISSOURI, was exploded in
rather a ridiculous ways when the
missing man strolled into headquar-
tiers at the usual time. He was over
whelmed with congratulations as to
his apparent good health and was very
much surprised when told that the po-
lice had been searching for him all
night long.
Col. Elderkin, it appears, had ac-
companied party to one of the the
aires last evening. 1t was so late
when the play was over that he con-
cluded to stay down town for the
night, and went to a hotel. His fami-
ly was so worried over his absence
that the matter was reported to the
police. Their anxiety was increased
because of the fact that Col. Elderkin
has been the victim of temporary par
alytic strokes, and it was feared that
he might have been seized with one
while on his way home.

JESUS MAND0zA IS CHARGED
WITH A SERIOUS
0FFENSE.
He Is Accused Of RaviShing A Young
COlorei Girl After Setting A
Dog On Her To Aid
Him In His DaS-
tardly Work,

Jesus Mendoza, a Mexican, about
10 years of age, is in the county Jail
on a charge of rape. An affidavit to
that effect was made in Justice Jones'
court yesterday afternoon. He is &C
cused of ravishing Henrietta Griffin,
an 11-year-old daughter of William
Griffin, colored man, living at 3209
South Laredo street.
The affidavit recites that this dia-
bolical crime was committed
in mesquite thicket near Pecos
street, not over $50 yards from any
residence.
The father of the girl made the fol-
lowing statement to a Light reporter
regarding the matter: Il work at the
cotton compress and we quit early
about A o'clock--this afternoon. Just
as l got home my little girl came in
the door crying. She said that Mex
lean set a big yellow dog on her in
the brush while she was coming home
from a family at the corner of Pecos
and Matamoras streets, where she
works, and that the Mexican then
threw her down, tied her feet and
choked her. Then the Mexican ran
away and she screamed, but it seems
that nobody heard her, and she came
home crying. She told me who the
Mexican was, for he always came
around the house for something to eat.
My wife gave him something to eat
this morning"
Griffin met Deputy Sheriff Jim IT.
win driving along South Laredo street
and related the story to him. He ex-
planned where Mendoza lives and Ir-
win in company with Deputy Sheriff
Walter Napier went in search of the
Mexican. They drove to the Alazan
creek, where they found Mendoza in
a little tent, eating a piece of bread.
They told him what they wanted him
for, but he professed innocence of any
crime. The officers were positive,
however, that he was the individual
they were after, and did not mince
words with him. He was hurried
eastward until the county Jail was
reached and he is now languishing be-
hind the bars.
Mendoza has lived alone in the tent
and it seems that all he has ever done
for a living is beg.
Two Mexicans made their appear
ance at the courthouse while the aft
davit was being drawn up, but all eff
forts of Light reporter to obtain in
formation from them proved futile.
They merely said they did not know
Mendoza.
Up to 6 o'clock last evening doctor
mad not examined the child, so the
fatbar Said and II is not known
whether an examination was made
later.

Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Boise City, Ia, Sept. 4.-District
Judge George ii. Stewart has decided
the anti-gambling law unconstitution-
al under the decision of the Supreme
court in the fee law case, which in
effect utilities all important laws of
the state.
Encouraged by this decision the dis
trict courts of the state will be flood
ed with attacks on various laws which
are claimed to come under the ban Of
the Supreme court. If the appropria-
ton bill should be attacked, as seems
likely, Governor Steuenberg may be
forced to reconvene the Legislature.
Should the governor decide to call an
extra session of the Legislature he
will be in a quandry to know which
to convene, as it is presumed all but
the first session under statehood was
Illegal, the legislative appOrtion-
meuts being open to attack under the
Supreme court decision.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 4.-There have
been nonsensical stories circulated
that Virgil Gallaher, who is in Jail
here for numbering his mother, has
been married since his incarceration.
Sheriff Thomas said today that such
talk of a Jail marriage is idle rumor.
Gallaher has few visitors. No one
but his priest is permitted to see him
alone. He has a fair appetite and is
living much the same life as the other
inmates of the jail. The marriage
could not take place in the Jail with
out the consent of Sheriff Thomas,
and that he would not give were it
asked. Gallaher is physically in splen-
did condition, Notwithstanding he eats
but very little, receives no exercise
save what the narrow confines of his
cell will permit, and is able to sleep
only a few minutes at time Yet his
muscles are hard and his physique the
picture of perfect condition and that
of a true athlete.

Financial,

New York, Jan. 23.-The New York F'inan- cier says this week.
 There is no cessation of the movement of money into the New York banks, the re- serve increase for the week having been s4S95,275. which brings the total excess re- serve to s57, 500, the highest reported in over two years
 The increase in deposits alone was $6 O93- 300 and this largely increased the reserve liability. The actual gain in cash was S6- ASSOC, which exceeds the deposit increase. The decrease of s1, eco, ECO in loans shows the small demand for funds at prevailing bank rates of per cent, but on the other hand, there IS reason to believe that there has been some closing of sterling exchange oper- ations, which have so largely increased the loan item of the New York banks and thus an apparent decrease in loans might be shown in the face of domestic borrowing. In other words, the latter is not on as large scale as the exchange realizing. While the banks are holding to their 2 per cent. loan agreement it is rumored that some of them have already, or will soon reduce the rate on current balances to 11s per cent
 The statement as a whole is an interesting indication of the results which have been forming for months. The contraction in business previous to election, the heavy ex- port and tho liquidation in all lines, has forced on New York an immense fund of
 
 small interest paid on balances. Of course the piling ufJ of this money could not occur were business active. but there are signs that capital is becoming restiye and is en- deavoring to seek channels where 1t can find returns.
 With cheap money and fewer debts out standing than at any time since the panic, the chances favor revival of business on a sure foundation. It will be recalled that the bond sales of the past few years fur nished an opportunity to relieve the banks of a large amount of idle money but no, such outlet can be looked for now. The money must lie where it is, or go into in- vestments, of another character.
 The recent rapid rise in gilt-edged secur- ties, like government bonds, emphasizes the point that money is seeking a profitable field, but this is narrow one. and will have to be expanded Then a general commer- cial and industrial revival may be looked for with certainty
