CESSATION OF ACTIVITY
AFFECTS BANKS BUSINESS
Moderate Decrease In Loans Is Shown
in the Report of Associated


NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The Financier
says this week: The statement of the
associated banks Of New York City
for week ending December "a was
rather featureless, so far as important
changes are concerned. 1t is obvious.
however, that the report of the af-
filiated institutions failed TO disclose
the receipts Of interior money which
are floating this way. although the
statement was somewhat complicated
by current export gold engagements,
which aggregated since the previous
Saturday about s., 900. 600.
Preliminary estimates made the
weeks gain in cash by the banks were
as high as s2.OOOO0O. but the clearing
house report gave the increase as onlv
$500, 900. or about one-tenth the earlier
estimates. There was a moderate de-
crease of s2.627.5OO in loans, due to the
cessation of activity on the Stock Ex-
change and this accounts for the fall
ing off Of $1,000. 900 in deposits. Lessened
reserve requirements and the gain In
cash brought the excess reserve up
100000 to $15.247, ,225, or with the elm
ination of Government deposits, TO
$21 ,055, 900. 1t is a fair inference that
with conditions continuing as at pres
ent. the chances for any decided hard
ening of money rates are not in sight.

GUARDS WATCH WIFE WHILE
SHE NURSES DYING HUSBAND
Officials Temporarily Release Her
From Penitentiary to Care for
Spouse, Also a Prisoner.

TACOMA, Dec. PA funeral that
was pathetic in many ways was held
here Friday when Leon Carron, a con-
Wet at McNeil's Island Penitentiary,
who had died Of consumption, was
buried in a local cemetery.
About two years ago Carron and his
wife were convicted in the Federal
Court at Spokane of bringing girls in
to the United States for immoral pur-
poses. Having rich and powerful
friends they made a hard fight for ac-
quittal in the face of strong evidence
produced by the Federal secret service
and immigration officers. Soon after
reaching McNeirs island, Carron began
TO grow thin and soon fell a victim
Of consumption. Last fall he was
taken to a hospital here and later his
earnest appeals to be nursed by his
wife were granted with the result
that she was allowed to come over
from the penitentiary under guard.
She nursed him night and day for
weeks and was chief mourner at the
funeral.
Carron's brother came here from
Spokane TO make the funeral arrange
ments.

Sioux City Fire Entails a
Loss of $2,5OO,OOO and
Throws Many Out Of Work
THREE HOTELS BURNED
Man Who Lost Life Leaping
From the Fourth Story of
Building Is Unidentified

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Dec. 24.-Sioux
City awoke to-day with two of it's best
business blocks in ashes, causing a
loss that may reach $500, 900, throw
ing hundreds of people out of employ
ment and entailing the loss of at least
one life.
The fire originated m the basement
of the Pelletier Dry Goods Company at
Fourth and Jackson streets, one of the
main corners - of the city. The fire
soon spread from the Massachusetts
building to the Toy building, across
Jackson street, seven-story struc-
ture. and then leaped across Fourth
street TO the Metropolitan block, which
also was a seven-story building. This
building was only partly destroyed, but
the Toy block and its annex on the
east were entirely burned.
Three hotels were burned-the West,
Leader and Pullman. All the guests
escaped in safety. The man who was
killed jumped from the fourth story
window In the Massachusetts building
He struck a wire and missed the net
held by the f1remsn. Nobody has been
able TO identify him. There were no
other serious casualties.
1t was not until o'clock this morn
ing that the flames were finally
checked at Pierce street, after Sell
ser Brothers wholesale liquor estab-
lishment had been destroyed.
Most of the property destroyed was
reasonably we'll insured and the re-
building OF the burned buildings will
begin in most instances as soon as fire
losses are adjusted
The following additional detailed
losses are reported to-day:
Seller Brothers, liquor dealers. loss

QUEER CHARGE PLACED
AGAINST GOTHAM NEGRO
Defendant Accused of Interfering
With Rights Of Another COlOrcd
Man by Beating Him.

NEW YORK, Dec. PA charge.
the like of which never has been en-
tertained in a United States Court in
this district within the memory of the
oldest court official, was preferred to-
day against Henry Jones, Louisville,
KY, negro. when he was arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Shields. The charge against Jones
was interfering with the rights of a
citizen in that he beat John Supper
tonight, another negro, so severely
that Suppertonight was unable to vote
at the last Presidential election at
Louisville.
Secret service officers had been
searching for Jones for some time and
finally located him in this city When
arraigned before the Commissioner
tonight he waived examination and
extradition formalities and will be
taken back TO Louisville at once by
the Federal authorities for trial.
The complaint against Jones was
sworn out by Chief Flynn of the

DODGE QUICKLY
GAINS FREEDOM
Alleged Perjurer Brought
Back to New York From
Texas Is Given Release
MYSTERY IN THE CASE
Believed to Have Turned
States Evidence and a
Sensation Is Expected

NEW YORK. Dec. 2i-There was an
against Charles F. Dodge, who was
brought TO this city from Texas yester-
day, when he was released On his own
recognizance after arraignment before
Judge Cowing in the Court Of General
Sessions to-day. Dodge was accused
Of having committed perjury in testi-
fying that service was not made upon
him in the suit by which divorce
from him was obtained by his former
wife who subsequently married
Charles w. Morse the banker and pro-
mOter. After Dodge's testimony, now
alleged to have been perjured, his for
mer wife obtained a divorce from
Morse. Dodge resisted when an at
tempt was made to bring him from
Texas. but on his arrival in this city
is said To have made a confession in
a midnight talk with the local author
tiles.
Judge Cowing said after releasing
Dodge that he could not make public
his reasons for doing so at this time.
Dodge was released upon the recon-
mendation Of District Attorney Jerome,
who said that the ends of justice would
be served by such action.
1t was reported that Dodge has turn
ed States evidence and that he will
be a witness for the District Attor-
ney in proceedings against others for
whom Dodge is supposed to have acted
AS agent.
The arrival Of Dodge in New York
followed one of the longest and most
bitterly fought legal battles on record,
and was the real beginning of what, it
is believed, will develop into one Of the
most sensational cases the metropolis
has known.

WOULD ARREST
Law VIOLATORS
President Urges Drastic
Measures to Abate Smoke
Nuisance in Washington
COMMISSION NOTIFIED
Executive Suggests That
Head of all Electric Light
Company Be Cast Into Cell

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Drastic ac-
tion has been taken by the President
looking to the suppression of the smoke
nuisance in the city of Washington A
letter was sent by his direction to the
District Commissioners on November
80 inquiring IL 1t were not possible to
proceed criminally against the officers
of an electric light company He de-
nounced the violation of the smoke law
by the company at the very doors of
the White House as an outrage and
urged that the managers of the COM
pany be arrested again and again, at
short intervals, in an effort to abate the
nuisance.
No response having been received
that satisfied the President, he author
lied to-day the publication of the let
ter to the District Commissioners. 1t
follows:
White House, Washington, D. c., Nov
80 1904
To the District Commissioners: The
President has again taken up with his
Cabinet the smoke nuisance so far as
the public buildings are concerned. He
would like especially to call your at
tention, however. TO the well-nigh in
tOlerable manifestation Of the nuisance
by the electric light company. Is It not
possible TO proceed criminally against
the managers of this company? II not,
drastic legislation should be recon-
mended.
1T is an outrage on the city that such
a nuisance should be permitted TO ex-
ist right by the White House. Almost
every hour Of the day these great
chimneys can be seen emitting dense
clouds Of smoke. 1t would seem TO be
wise TO go to the very limit of the law
and 10 arrest the head of the company
or those highest up in the company
again and again at the shortest possi-
bic intervals. in order TO put a stop to
this nuisance, for the conduct on their
part amounts TO a fragrant defiance of
the law and Of respect for public opin-
ion, and is fraught with serious conse-
quences to the city Of Washington.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-G. K. Chester
not to mention his essays and biog-
raphies-have made him almost as
well known in America as he is in
this country. left London a day or two
ago for Frankfort. He gave a series
of six lectures before the Frankfort
Academy of Social Science on the sub
jcct of English Contemporary Poet
ry." The poets dealt with included
Tennyson and Browning. Swinburne
and the Neo-pagans, William Morris,
Kipling and w. B. Yeats.
When l saw him, recently, at his
house in BatteIsea. on the Surrey side
of the Thames, Chesterton had just
returned from the church congress at
Liverpool, where he delivered a pi-
quaint address on Aggressive Infdel-
ity,' which may possibly have worried
a bit some of the more fossilized of
his clerical hearers. In the course of
ii the speaker declared that the only
true agnostic was a newborn babe.
He also said that it seemed to him
consonant to the fundamental princi-
Piles OF all religion that if he did not
believe there was a God he should go
and howl it about the streets.
The German visit over, however.
Chesterton will return home immedi-
ately. to attack the perfect mountain
Of work which is in front of him. The
first item which will receive atten-
tion is new Life of Dickens" which
the Methueas have commissioned
Chesterton to write. For these pub
fishers. too. the writer is going TO pro-
duce brochure on one of the English
painters-similar in character TO his
recent work on Watts. The exact
artist. however, has not yet been de-
cided upon. Chesterton has put aside,
for the moment, the Life of Kings
ley" which he undertook some time
ago. but probably will recommence
work on it soon after the Dickens" is
finished. And as if this were not
enough. the writer has also arranged
to collect and rewrite to some extent
his recent essays on religion so that
they may be published in book form
by Edwin Arnold. Needless to say. all
these works will appear in the United
States as we'll as in this country
I asked about the prospects for an
other romance, on the lines Of The
