RMpLOYES ARE ARRESTED.
STAGE HANDS TAKEN INTO GUS
 T0DH IN CHICAGO.

Twelve Iroquois Theafer Men Charged
 With Being Accessories to Mnnsi.ugh h.
 fer-Had Been Requested by People Connected With the House to Leave
 she city-AlI Prepared to Leave.
 Chicago, Dec. 31.-Twelve employees of the Iroquois theater were arrested to- night on orders issued by Chief of Po- lice CiNeill. The charge against them is at present that of being accessory to rnanslaughter. They will be held pend- ing the verdict of the coroners jury. The men arrested are:
 William Carlton, stage manager; Ed ward Cummings. stage carpenter; Frank Jandrow, R. M. Cummings, E.. Engle, Thomas Mcqueen, s. J. Masoni.
 The last five are stage hands and scene shifters. After being taken into custody by the police, four of the men told Chief O'Neill that they had been requested by people connected with the theater to leave the city. When asked who advised them to this effect they at first refused to say, but later admit ted that the advice was given by As sistant Stage Manager Plunkett.
 They sad they were about to follow Plunkett's advice and all of them had packed their trunks and would have been out of the city had not the police arrested them.
 Orders were issued tonight by Chief of Police O'Neil to find other members of the company and the theater em- ployes who were actual witnesses of the fire. This order will mean, the pc lice say, that more than twenty arrests will be made in the morning, chiefly among the ballet dancers and members of the chorus who were crowded in the wings waiting for their cues when the fire was discovered.
 According to Coroner Traeger. large placard had been placed in the hotel where large number of the company are stopping, order that all members of the company should be ready to leave upon short notice. Believing that this was move to keep witnesses from tes- tifying before the coroner's jury, the arrests were decided upon.
 Shortly after midnight detect from the central police station are William Plunlzett. assistant manage the theater and four members of Moonlight Chorus.'' The choru made up of eight men and eight WI and was about to appear on the when the fire started. Those arr in addition to Plunkett were: WI Stack, Samuel Bell, Victor Bozari ward Wines.
 The prisoners were taken to Ha |street police station and locke Plunkett was charged with mansl ySh- ter and the members of the chorus with violation of part of the municipal code |of Chicago, providing for the hoISling .! witnesses for the coroner's juryg
 Two members of the choruF, Miss Anna Brant and Daisy Beatu3, were arrested and taken to the centrF police station. After being questioned by the police they were released.

J. s. MINISTER'S SON KILLED
FARCE soUIERs ACCIDENTALLY
 SHOT BY oHAFFEUR.


 Houss Whom the Fatality Occurred-
 The Victim but Twenty Years oid
 and Very Popular in Havnna-An In-
 vestigation Likely to be Made.
 Havana, Dec. S1.-Farge Squiers, the eldest son of United States Minister Squiers. was accidentally shot and fa- tally injured to-day by Gaston Mich aud, French chaffeur, employed by his father Young Squiers and some servants were shooting at target in the coach house of the minister's resi- dence in the suburb of Marianao at the time. They were using 22 calibre rifles. and one of them apparently got out of order. Michaud was examining the weapon and recocking it when it sud- denly was discharged in the direction of squiers, who was between Michaud and the target. The ball penetrated the young mans left lung. A hemorrhage 
 ensued and within half an hour squiers died.
 Secretary Sleeper. who is in charge of the legation, sent a cable dispatch to Minister squiers at Washington and one to Mrs. squiers at Katonah, N. r., informing them of the accident. The body of young Squiers has been em- balned and will be kept pending in- structions from Mr. Squfers.
 Farge Squiers was popular here. He was twenty years old and prior to last summer was a student at 3. military academy in Virginia.
 Michaud is wildly distracted at the consequence of his carelessness. While there Is no doubt that the young mans death was purely accidental, an inves- tigation of 1t is probable.
 The annual ball of the American club, which was to have been held tonight, has been indefinitely postponed on ac- count of the death of MT. Squiers.

 "A. c. Judson, Bank Examiner"
 Mir. Judson made cursory examina- ton of the books of the Bank of Staten Island and said tonight:
 As far as the examination has gone 1t is apparent the affairs of the bank are irregular I do not care to name any amount as to the probable short age and will not until Saturday, when there will be a meeting of the directors. after which a statement will probably be made.''
 Ahlmann had a controlling interest in the Bank of Staten Island. The institu- tion was organized eighteen years ago with a capital stock of $2500o. It was known as one of the strongest banks on Staten Island. It was a state and city depository, and because of It's closing by the state examiner the city employees of Richmond borough were unable to cash their monthly checks to-day. | The last annual statement of the bank lis as follows: s Capital <. ..........---. .--.-..... s25, 5,0oo Surplus :. ......., .--~4......... $76, ,000 Deposits $5S4, ,000 Loans and discounts ............ $S6S, ,000S Local correspondents of the Bank of Staten Island are the Chemical bank land the Western National bank, A close friend of Ahlmann said that the dead man was worth more. than $500 0oo.

BASKETS FOR THE AUTOS.
Making of Them Is Almost Special
Trade of Itself-Some Cost
$50 a Pair.

Making baskets for automobiles is al
most a special trade of itself. A basket
weaver Of this city was quick to see that
the business was likely to be profitable,
so he set up a factory, and made auto
mobile baskets his sole speciality, says
he New York Sun.
This speciality in basket weaving re-
quires peculiar skill, because 1t is hard
TO fashion the curves so as to fit snugly
in the sinuosities Of the motor cars.
Polish basket weayers who learned and
long practiced their trade in Europe
seem to have special aptitude for this
particular kind of work.
The materials that go into the bas-
kets are reeds, whole or split; white
wood, cylindrical bits of birch, leather,
brass for the hinges, and rubber oil
cloth, for the waterproof lining. A

basket once well made, and coated with
shellac, will last almost forever barring
accidents, and will ordinarily need no
repairs beyond new coat OF shellac at
he end of the season.
Some OF the largest and best made
side baskets sell as high as $50 pair.
Smaller ones are as low as SIS pear,
and the average price is about $50 pair.
Special baskets made to order may be
considerably higher than the highest
price here indicated.
The long narrow rear baskets for
walking sticks and umbrellas may cost
anywhere from IS to $25. Especially
long baskets for golf sticks are about $25.
Most of the material that goes into
these baskets is Of native production,
though some Of the reed comes from the
orient and some from the West Indies.
The manufacturers used to edge the
baskets with strap iron. but they are dis
continuing the use Of this material as
adding too much weight, and as unnec-
essary to the proper strength Of the
baskets.

guilty. sentenced to a short term in the
penitentiary, which involved the loss Of
his right to hold once and the further
loss Of his citizenship.
After the sentence had been pro-

hotel under bonds, he was visited by
woman heavily veiled-Helen Winston.

She turned away her head and said:

carriage was woman-Helen Winston.
He started in surprise.
