Financial Feet.

Project and Broke Down I'm
der the Load.

Baltimore, Oct 2O.-Excitement and
anxiety marks the feeling in financial
and business circles Of Baltimore.
Luckily a dozen reports well calcu-
lated to provoke a wholesale run OH
banks got no further than the precincts
of South and German streets, Baltl-
mOre's Wall street distric t, and did not
reach the great army Of depositors
throughout the city, thus giving ample
time for the conservative leaders OF
business to allay popular apprehension
before it reached dangerous proper
tons. The trouble began with the an
nouncement of the failure Of the Mary
land Trust company.
No Necessity for u Panic.
It was agreed among the leaders,
and so given out, that there is moth
ing alarming in the general financial
situation in this city, and the mere fact
that temporary difficulties overlook
one or two concerns is no reason why
other perfectly solvent institutions
should be regarded with sus-
picion. AS one of the most
influential bankers in Baltimore put it:
''Our financial institutions are strong
and have placed themselves in position
to withstand any assaults upon their
credit standing"
Depends on the Baltimore People.
Or as another leading banker, per-
haps the most prominent in Baltimore,
put it: 1T all depends upon how the
people of Baltimore act. If they do
not lose their heads the trouble will
blow over in time and nobody will be
hurt; but if they become panic-stricken
the consequences will be serious. This
is time to use calm Judgment.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 19.-Two masked

the bandits then rode off.

He was an awful swell, and if there

"WelI. it is atrocious," she said cool

SET A THEATRE on FIRE.
Night Watchman COnfcsses That He and
Manager Started the Blaze.

BALTIMORE, Oct 1s.-Early this morning
hre started In one OF the dressing rooms
Of the Empire Theatre, and this afternoon
Charles 7. Bevan. tho night Waterman,
informed the police that Leonard Scarlet,
manager OF the stock company playing
there, had set fire to the house and that
he helped him to do so. Bevan said
that after the performance last night Scar
lett ordered him to collect all the old pro-
grammes and, with some excelsior, banked
the collection behind door. Scarlet then
set fire to the pile and both walked away.
The fire was discovered by a policeman
and was extinguished by the firemen before
1t had gained much Roadway, A little less
than an hour afterward the blaze was
started again, this time by the watchman
acting, as he declares under orders from
Scarlet, and 1t spread 30 rapidly as to
cause another alarm. The two fires and
the disappearance Of Scarlet led the
authorities to make an investigation, which
led to the arrest and subsequent confess
sion of Bevan.
The Empire has not been prospering
financially Of late. The theatre recently
furnished a bit Of gossip when the leading
lady, Miss Mabel Bardine, refused to kiss
Mr.. Scarlet on the stage. The police
are now searching for Scarlet. His proper
name is Tibbets.

For several days members of the associa
ton have been trying to find a way Of
keeping Miss Loew, or any other woman
lawyer. out of the organization without
actually blackballing her. A way was
found last night when resolution, signed
by ten members, was introduced, providing
for an amendment to the constitution limit
ing the membership to "lnale" lawyers.
The resolution was introduced by Abra-
ham V. Campbell 1t was laid over with
out debate until Tuesday, Dec. 8.
The committee on judicial nominations
commended the denomination of Judge
Denis O'Brien of the Court OF Appeals
and Justice Henry Bischoff of the SUI
preme Court and reported that William
L.. Bennett, julius j Kramer, Alfred p. w.
Seaman and Leonard j. Sanders are proper
candidates for Municipal Justices. Bennett
is the Republican candidate in the Twelfth
district, and Seaman, the fusion and Tam
many candidate, is running against him.
