PREDICTS MONEY SQUEEZE.
Russell Sage Think Read ustment OF
Securities Will Be Necessary.

New York, Feb. 15.-Russell Sage, the
aged financier said yesterday that a
squeeze in money would result from the
attempt about 70 be made to float vast
quantities of fresh securities in this
market "A squeeze is inevitable" he
declared. The expansion of loans that
has been reported week after week by
the clearing house banks cannot go on
forever When the banks realize the
situation there viii come a reaction.
The spirit of speculation that now runs
so high may go too far.
"A characteristic feature of the loan
now being made is that a great many
are upon iildustrials as collateral-more
than is strictly conservative. I notice
this tendency in he business offered at
my office. Railroad securities are al
ways Acceptable, but borrowers are
trying to work off the stocks OF recently
organized manufacturing concerns.

RHODES BOY KILLED..
Albert Gilman, an Empioye OF con-
tractor Ely, kilIed Near Cedar

Albert Gilman, ar Empioye of Con-
tractor Ely, Killed Near Cedar
Rapids.
Mr.. Byron Webster, of the Maryland
Casualty Company, received a telegram
Thursday afternoon Informing him Of
the death Of Albert Gilman. of Rhodes.
Who was. IN the employ of Contractor r..
A. Ely, of this city. who has a grading
contract On the e., c. r. & n. railway.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette of Thurs
day evening contains the following ac-#
court of Gilman = death:
Albert Gilman, workman employed
by Contractor Ely, mel his death this
morning by being caught under a cave
in Of earth at the place he was working.
He was laboring AZ the place UP the
river commonly known as the Yellow
Banks, where a large gang of men is
employed in loading dirt for the b., G.
X. & N. fill north of the shops. He was
"a years old and had been working for
r. A. Ely for the past five years. His
parents live at Rhodes. la. They have
been notified of his untimely end.
The fatal accident occurred this
morning at $3.50 o'clock. Gilman and
another laborer named Arthur Hawkes.
We're working side by side at the foot
of high bank of earth, when suddenly
Hawkes. saw an immense portion of the
top slowly commence to move. He
shouted n warning TO his companion
and ran, but just in time to see the un-
fortunate Gilman buried beneath the
block OF earth.
Gilman had undoubtedly been killed
instantly, for his skull was badly
crushed. Coroner Ranck was immedi-
to be taken to the morgue, where an in
quest will be held this evening at 1890
o'clock.
ALBERT Gilman was a good, steady
workman, and his employer has but the
highest praise for him. The fact that
he had been employed for SO many
years by Contractor Ely speaks vol
umes, as the latter named gentleman is
we'll known to be very particular whom
he employs and insists on good charac-
ter and greatest carefulness in their
work Gilman had only been here for
ten days.
The inquest was held at Cedar Rapids
Thursday evening and no one was hello
responsible for the death. 1t seems thai
Contractor Ely had cautioned his mer
but an hour before and called their at.
tention to the unsafe condition of thu
bank where they were working. Gill
mans remains left Cedar Rapids thi:
morning for Rhodes. where the inter.
ment will occur.
