Exciting Scenes in Heart OF the
tfty--F,vc Persons l'jmr"d.
Three policemen and two Hebrew wo-
men were injured in run on the State
Bank of Grand Street, in the heart OF
the business section of the east side,
New York, Wednesday, The run was
attended by some sensational incidents.
The 5000 persons crowded about the
bank became so insstent that they broke
down an iron railing around a light well
in front of the building, and it was only
by desperate clubbing on tie part OF the
police that the excited and unruly mop
was prevented from forcing many OF ITS
members into the well. The policemen
and women were hurt at that point. lhe
emergency police detail of the Delaney
Street station vas finally called out and
policemen were stationed at intervals "
five or six blocks Oh either side. The rru
was as extraordinary rs the 1fenZled
character of the rush itself.
Tuesday there was a rush Of the Gepos-
itOrs to get their money into the BANK III
time to begin to draw interest at once,
and the long line of waiting depositors
convinced the excitable Hebrews that
something was wrong with the lnsltu-
ton. Five hundred persons waited IN
front of the building all nig..t and their
number quickly swelled to $500 when
the bank opened Wednesday, though not
all of that number were depositors. The
bank, which has deposits of $l.o0o,OOO
and cash reserve of $4,OOO,OO0, and
which Cashier A. V. Voorhis said earn
ed 244 per cent profits last year, sent
down street for money early "Wednesday
and $25O,0OO was brought by the wagon
load, largely in specie.
At the sight of money those waiting
became only more impatient to get at r..
The bank officials paid depositors or rs
fast as the operation could lie conducted.
In all the bank paid out Wednesday
$50, 900 and received in deposits $4,000.
Remarkable scenes attended the paying
off within the bank. The officers paid
off in two-third specie and onethird bills
and some Of the depositOrs were fairly
overwhelmed by the amount of currency
thrust upon them when they passed in
their books. Immediately upon getting
their money into their hands and becom-
ing convinced that the bank was able 10
pay them, the frantic Hebrews
became equally anxious to get their
money into lne bank again and several
of them created scenes when the officers
refused to accept it. The depositors
were paid in specie to prevent rede-
post. as this is the sixth run the bank
has experienced from equally trivial
causes.

Claim Another Maybrick Case
Friends Of Mrs. Lena Lille So in
sist-Suprene Court Has RuI-d-
Efforts to be Made for a Pardon

A David City special says: The final
decision of the Nebraska supreme court
. in the murder case of Mrs. Lena Lille,
holding that she must go to the penlteh-

which has been called the most remarka-
BILE case of conviction on purely clIcum-
stantial evidence ever known in the
country.
Harvey Lille was we'll to do grain
dealer. He and his wife who is an at
tractive woman of 40. lived happily. HE
night Of Oct. 24. 1902, Lille was shot
in the head in bed, Mrs. Lille lying at
bis side He was instantly killed. Mrs.
Lille reused others in the house, two
young ladies who were visiting there, and
told them what had happened.
The murderer Mrs. Lille said. shot at

and escaped by the door Her story was
not doubted. AS soon as neighbOrs could
be summoned they started to search, 60
ing to the stable for Lilies two blood

SOned.
The first suspicion of Mrs. Lille was
when it was noted. several days after the
killing. that she claimed the murderer,
whom she described as Il tall, dark man,
stood on the west side of the bed. On
that side lay Mrs. Lille. The murderer.
according to her story, would have mad
to lean over his victim. crook his arm
and FIRE the bullet back toward himself.
through Lilies head. This seemed so
improbable that it caused investigation.
Other features developed. Mrs. Lille,
it was shown had been specializing. in
her own behalf, on the board of trade,
and had been pressed for money. Her
husband had objected to her speculations.
Pressed for more margins. it is alleged,
she shot her husband in order to get his
property and life insurance. amounting
to $1,000.
Out of this foundation the prosecution
wOve case against the woman. and af-
ter a long and sensational trial she was
convicted and punishment fixed at i'm
prisonment for life. The people of Da-
vid City did not generally believe her
guilty, and do not now. She remained
in Jail after the trial, and the supreme
court was appealed to. 1t refused to or
der a new trial. Application for rehcar-
ing was turned down, and the last chance
was gone.
An effort will be made to secure par
don. The case is compared by Mrs.
Lilies friends to that of Mrs. May
brick, and they declare they will make it
known nationally as a monumental in
justice before they will cease their eff
forts in her behalf.

The National Live Stock Association

day by the adoption OF new constitu-
ton which admitted the packers TO MEM

through which the railroads Of the coun-
try may at any time become factors IN

The cattle, horse and swine growers,
together with representatives, of some IF
the affiliated industries, refused 10 agree
to the new constitution. withdrew when
they considered its adoption probable,
and Friday afternoon formed a new or
ganization under the name Of the Amer
lean Stock Growers Association, whose
aim il WI. be to WELD dominant inhu-
ence in the interest Of the cattle grower.
Roughly speaking, the sheep growers,
commission men and the stock yards in
terestS remained with the National Live
Stock Association, and the actual grow
rrs of all other animals for the market
have gone with the new organization.
The cattlemen from the first were strong
Iy opposed to the admission into their or
ganization of the packers, and especially
of the railroads. They claimed that
these twointerests would ultimately dom
mate the cattle growing industry of the
country TO the detriment of the individ

in an organization which included their
representatives among the members OF
its central body.
The cattlcmen who had left the con-
vention gathered at the Brown Palace
Hotel in the afternoon and appointed 4
committee of fifteen to present q plan
for new organization. Its report, which
was unanimously adopted, recommended
that Il temporary president be appointed

In the new organization the represcn-
