Lynching Feared, and the Prisoner
Is Removed From South Side
Station to Central
headquarters.

Matt Aims is prisoner at Central
station charged with an attack upon Ha-
eel, the four-y ear-old daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. Rudolph KaXIes, residing at
III Nineteenth avenue
The crime was committed about 5
o'clock yesterday evening in the wood
shed in the rear Of the home Of the lit
tie girl, and Aims was surprised by Mrs.
Kaxles, mother of the child. Aims ran
out Of the woodshed, through the back
yard, and vaulting a high board fence
escaped, pursued by the excited mother
and several other women of the neigh
borhood.
Tho little girl was carried into the
house. She is in a terrible state Of ner-
vous prostration, but other than a bruised
and scratched face, inflicted by her as
sailant in sitting the cries Of the little
girl, she is uninjured.
The news of the assault spread over
South Minneapolis, and a crowd of angry
people, neighb0rs and friends Of the
parents of the injured child, surrounded
the home of Aims, and had they found
him there would no doubt have handled
him roughly.

home of the little girl

affair to Detective Morrissey yesterday

American Securities Do Not Improve

LONDON, April 13.-There was little
activity on the stock exchange during
the past week Neither the money con-
ditions at home nor the war outlook
in South Africa were such as to encour-
age speculation or commitments. Cash

the treasury released enough consol div
idends and other funds to permit the mar
ket to repay 97,750,00O Of it's Indebtedness

very low, and it is hard to say how
soon these will improve.
The government has been more success
full than usual in keeping the budget pro-
pOsalS and the new loan programme Sc
cret. If peace comes speedily, to allow
the loan to be predicated on Transvaal

BERLIN, April 13.-The past week on
the boerse was quiet and uneventful. The
first half Of the week showed declining
values in all departments, but an i'm
provement began Friday with the more
favorable prospects Of peace in South
Africa, which the Berlin market now
judges very optimisticaIly. Nevertheless,
it maintains a waiting attitude until def
mite news is received.
Metals and all iron shares declined
rapidly Tuesday, as the result of bad
reports by a number of companies, but
the American market report brought a
vast Improvement and this was increas-
ed by the meeting in Berlin for the pur-
pose of organizing a general syndicate
| Of rolling mill interests.
Later the iron situation was reported to
be in better condition than the market
anticipated. Coal shares were higher.
TransvaaI Shares Go Up.
A dividend Of u per cent, declared by
Ludwig, Loew & Co., as against dividends
Of "A per cent for the last five years, was
regarded as very disappointing, and de-
pressed the machinery section Of the mar
ket. Electrical shares were also lower
on unfavorable reports of the industry,
few orders and the unsatisfactory reports
Of several electrical companies.
The issue of new capital stock by The

pany and the North German Lloyd line
continue to depress the shares of these
companies. TransvaaI railway shares

While London exchange almost reached

to remittances upon the Russian loan,

mess at high rates in all the new 4 per

cause why the receivership should not be
