ROB GRAVES BY HUNDREDS.
Ghou1s Operate ON Large Scale at Indi-
annapolis Cemeteries.

Ghou1s Operate ON Large Scale at Indi-
annapolis Cemeteries.
The wholesale robbery of graves in the
cemeteries about indianapolis was
brought to a close by the arrest of gang
of seven negroes. Warrants were also
issued for a prominent physician. the
demonstrator of anatomy in a medical
college, in which two stolen bodies were
found about ten days ago; an inferno in
the college. aud the white janitor of the
college Rufus Cantreil. one of the ne.
groes made complete confession and
implicated the others. He said the dem
onstrator accompanied the negroes on
several of the grave-robbing expeditions
Upward of 100 graves it is said, have
been robbed By the ghouls during the
last three months. The bodies were sold
TO different colleges.
The revelations II de. the detectives
say. are not only astounding but horri-
flying. They say that q complete inves-
ti=ation will show that even the graves
in Crown Hill. one Of the best guarded
cemeteries in the United States, We're des-
ecrated by tie ghouls. CantriH said that
he and the other negroes visited Mount
Jackson cemetery almost every time any
one was buried in the place. We pretty
near cleaned that place out." he said
don't believe that we have missed any
body that has been plante,. there since
July"
Mount Jackson. 4 cemetery just across
the river. west of the city. has been left
practically empty by the grave robbers.

son why banks holding deposits secured
by government bonds should be obliged to
submit to ;his restriction. By canceling
the requirement he makes available the
$30,000,000 which heretofore has been
held in the banks having treasury depos-
its.
The deposits of the government are I'M
ike any other deposits. in that they are
not likely to be called in a time of strin-
gency. and the law for the maintenance
of p per cent reserve hardly applies
to this sort of deposits At any rate if
the government We're ever forced by ex-
traordinary conditions to call for it's
funds, the collateral would command
more than its par value.
This eXpedient, in the opinion of many
bankers. will suffice to tide the New York
banks over the present emergency, though
many say it is difficult to see how it can
afford any permanent relief. The bank
ers of New York have been persistently
warned that in countenancing and abet-
ting the furious stock speculations Of last
summer they were inviting just such an
emergency as that which has now devel-
oped. With the added drain on their re-
sources resulting from the call for money
for ''erop-moving' purposes they have
been caught and unless the present strin-
gency teaches them Il lesson they will
be caught again and in the same way.
The treasury has on deposit with vari-
Gus banks scattered throughout the coun-
try from Maine 70 California and from
Minnesota to New Orleans, in round num-
bers, S130000.00O, against which they
have heretofore been compelled to hold
more than S30,000000 of gold or its
equivalent This decision will release
that much reserve and $30,000000 addi-
tional credit

! Western railroad lines

Chicago.

f Western railroad lines
l,hp211 continue burdened with
~S business. \ car shortage in
the East is predicted for ten days hehee,
and an early settlement of the anthracite
strike would probably bring this on Gnick-
Is. Full resumption OF work at the mines
would mean an immediate demand for
cars. and as it is doubtful If the coal
roads have'a large enough equipment for
such a demand, it is feared that cars
available for grain and other freight
might be impressed into coal carrying ser
vice, and thus the settlement of the coal
strike, the best thing that could happen,
would be an additional handicap TO traf-
fc in its immediate effect.
The grain markets have been active
and higher helped by the growing senti-
ment in favor of wheat and the develop
ment Of squeeze in September wheat.
Depressing news comes from abroad
where the Russian official report makes
the crop of that country as large as the
record. There is already a little of I'M
favorable news frem the Eastern markets
regarding Manitoba wheat, and while it
is early yet for competition from this
source, there will probably be much of it
soon after the Canadian crop movement
gets fairly under way
In the Northwest there is an outlook
fully as favorable as at this time last
week, and the volume of trade in the job
hing and manufacturing lines hollis up
well. Alter several weeks of moderate
showinas caused by the delayed 2Iain
movement, Minneapolis is getting back
