INJURED AT GAS PLANT
John Steek Buried Under Several
Tons Of Coal

Fred steck. who works at the gas plant
was seriously injured yesterday after
noon. He was in the coal bunkers filing
cart when a temporary partition gave
way and let several tons of coal slide
down on him. He was caught by the
timbers and if the cart had not caught
part of the wreck. he would probably
have been crushed 10 death. As it was
his knee-cap was broken into several
pieces and he suffered 4 severe cut in his
forehead. He managed to extricate him
self before help could reach him and It
is likely that he saved himself from any
further injuries
He was at once taken to his room in
the Kos Harris building on South Main
and medical attendance summoned. He
will be confined 10 his room for several
weeks. although his injuries are nor con-
sidered as very dangerous.

CHAIN GANG ON A STRIKE
Refused TO Clean Alleys or DO Any
thing Else Vest erdRN.

The chain gang which was started
some time ago has proved great sue
cess and the police were beginning to
think that they had found a most ef-
fective way for Furnishing hob0s and
other public nuisances. But yesterday
afternoon the scheme did not work so
well. and, as a result, there are several
men in the city jail who are on a bread
and water diet.
After the men had their dinner yester-
day they were taken out to work, but
they didn't When the officer in charge
OF the gang had got them out and care
fully chained them together, they inform
ed him that they had decided that they
would not work, and work they didn't.
So they were marched back to the sta
ton and each one locked in a different
cell. and they will serve out the rest Of
their time on bread and water diet.
The men gave no cause Tor their action,
but it is supposed that they could not
stand the prosperity Of getting three
good, square meals 2 day.

FAKlRS WERE A FRAUD
Two High school Boys Publicly Ini-
tiated Last Night.

There was rather unusual sight to be
seen at the corner of Douglas and Law
renee yesterday afternoon at about 5
O'Clock Quite a crowd Of people had az
sembled around two young men dressed
in ouuandish costumes who were trying
to sell various kinds Of patent medicine
Both rode hdrros to the place. One had
a guitar and the other carried a grip
To attract crowd the fellow with the
guitar tried TO play q solo but didn't
know thing about the instrument and
only gave few unmusical twangs. Then
the other one sang a rag-time song
which was passable.
Upon inquiry it was found that the two
youths were wen known and respected
students Of the High school and that they
were going through a part OF the iuitia-
ton into a secret society whose princi-
pal aim in life is to have fun with its can
didates

lPrinring House Disaster.

Chicago, March 23.-Thirty employees
of the Blakeley Printing company were
injured about o'clock in the morning
by an. elevator falling from the third
floor
1t is thought none of the injured will
die, although several of them were
badly hurt. Patrol wagons, ambu-
lances and other vehicles were called
and the injured men taken to either
their homes or hospitals.
The men had worked all night in the
printing shop and had crowded into
the elevator. The big elevator moved
slowly down the shaft till the third
floor was reached. Then the lift, filed
with its mass of agonized victims.
crashed into the basement.
First aid to the injured" work was
done in 'neighboring building in
which the victims were taken, but it
was some time before a sufficient num-
Der of ambulances were secured to re-
move the injured to their homes or, in
the more serious cases to the hospital
The accident was caused by the
breaking of the enginein the basement.

Restricting National Banhs.

Washington, March ga bill re-
.stricting national banks from making
loans to their officers was favorably
acted on by the house committee on
banking and currency. The measure
has been urged by the comptroller of
the currency on the ground that many
bank failures were caused by ill-advised
loans to officials of the bank. The,ex-
ipected large increase of small banks,
under the new financial law, is said to
be additional reason for the restriction
of loans to bank officers. The bill pro-
vides that no national banking asso-
citation, shall make any loan to its pres
ident, vice president, ITS cashier or any
of it's directors, clerks, tellers, book
keepers, agents, servants, or other per-
sons in its employ until the proposition
to make such loan shall have been sub
mitted in writing to the hoard of
directors or to the executive committee
of such board and approved by a
majority. At such meeting the person
making such application shall not be
present. The bill also prohibits the
overdrawing of accounts of the hank
officers

Deposftors Get 1t All.

Wichita, Kans., March 24-Judge
Williams in the federal court here de-
cided that the $500 proceeds of the
sale of the Cross Sunny Slope farm
involved in failure. of the First Nation
al bank of Emporia in 1898 should be
prorated among the local depositors
of the bank. William Martindale, of
Emporia, vice president of the bank,
attempted to divert this money to
special creditors through bill of sale
made in July, 1898. Receiver Albaugh
discovered a prior bill of sale to the
same property, made in March, 1898,
in favor of William Martindale, to pro-
tect the bank against the Indebtedness
of c. S. Cross. Judge Williams held
that the title passed with the first bill
of sale, and that the local depositors
were entitled to the benefit of the
Cross property.

The Open Door Racket.

Washington, March 21.-So far as
the report that the empress dowager
has objected to the open door" policy
is concerned, the diplomat who dis
cussed che Chinese situation agreed
with administration officials that she
has nothing whatever. to do with the
matter.
The open door arrangement has
been concluded by the United States
with European powers. not with
China" he observed. Consequently
the empress dowager can have nothing
to say about it. AS mark of friend
ship for your country, the European
powers agreed to respect, in the
spheres of influence they had ac-
quired. the trade rights granted by
your treaties with the Chinese empire.
That is the open door arrangement
which has been agreed to, and China
cannot object to it,
