SLA YER ESCAPES ON A WHEEL
ARMED MEN SCOUR JERSEY FIELDS FOR
A COLORED MURDERER.

Woodstown, n. j., Dec. 11.-There was delib-
crate murder the outskirts of this place to-
night. The murdered man and his slayer were
both coored. An insult TO a colored girl led
to the murder. Tonight armed men have been
securing the fields and woods over a radius
of several miles looking for the murderer but
there is little chance of his being caught near
by, as he was mounted a bicycle when he
escaped and probably put many miles between
himself and Woodstown before the search for
him started.
The murdered man was Oscar Henrickson, a
muatto. He was murdered by Lee BaiOw, a
dark skinned negro. The men worked as farm
hands adjoining farms. Bailow had been
courting colored girl who worked in the house
Of the farmer for whom Henrickson worked
This morning the girl and Henrickson quar-
relied, and Henrickson is alleged TO have slapped
her in the face She informed BailOw, and he
appears to have made deliberate aTrangemnts
to kill HenricksOn- He visited the farm where

HenricksOn to come from the barn. When
Henrickson left the barn to go to the house

rickson died almost instantly. Bailow ran TO

RATE ON SAVINGS HIGHER.
BowERY BANK INCREASES THE DIvI-
DEND ON DEPOSITS.

President Hicks of the Bowery Savings Bank
announced yesterday that the rate OF interest
to be paid by the bank in January will be per
cent instead of 3h per cent. which has been
the rate for the last two years This will affect
an army of $4,000 depositors-men. women and
children-in all Of the States and Territories or
the United States. and in Cuba and Porto Rico
as WELL who have on deposit more than So''-
100000
II was said at the bank that the present pros
porous condition OF the country, and the GER
tainty that the country was to enjoy four years
more of it, had made the officials feel that IN
view Of the solid character Of the banks invest
ments and the amount Of the reserve fund, 1t
could well afford TO let It's depOsitors share IN
the general prosperity. The fact that there was
no reason to fear panic which would depre-
ciate the values of securities and jeopardize the
interests of depOsitors was the dominant FACTOR
in leading the directors OF the bank to decide
that the surplus. or reserve fund. need not now
be increased, but that the money which would
under different conditions go to swell that 1uno
could be given to the depositOrs.
President j. Harsen RhOades of the Green
wich Savings Bank said that. in his opinion. the
other savings banks of the city would not fol-
low the example of the Bowery Savings Bank
certainly his own bank would not He explained
that the Bowery Savings Bank was very old
institution and carried large amount OF securi-
ties dating back forty or fifty years and bear
ing high rate OF interest. Thus the bank had
been able TO accumulate a large reserve fund.
Younger banks, on the other hand, had not Oeen
able to obtain such securities, and, IN conse-
quence, they had to continue 10 increase lhelr
reserve fund. even in the most prosperous times,
in order to protect new depos1tors- FOR TINS
reason the Bowery Savings Bank had oeen aple
to take advantage of the present commercial
conditions and treat it's depOsitors with Lber-
aIity which other banks had to deny themselves.
