WITH S1,250,000
IN DEPOSITS KANSAS CITY BANK
LIoUIDATEs.B sssl 1871.
Result of the Failure Of Another Bank.
Usual Statement of Paying
Depositors in Full.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 25.-The
Kansas City State bank, with deposits
aggregating $3.50 900, went into volun-
tary liquidation today. The Fidelity
Trust Co. is in charge of the banks af-
fairs, and is prepared to pay the
amounts due depositors on demand.
The liquidation of the affairs of the
Kansas City State bank is an echo of
the Salmon G Salmon bank failure at
Clinton, Mo-, couple of months ago.
Ever since the failure of the Salmon &
Salmon bank the business of the Kan
sas City State bank has been on a de-
cline. Many large depositors with
drew their accounts because of the
fact that the bank had advanced the
Silmo Is I"re THAI 100000 ON collat-
eral that is now said by bankers to be
gilt edge At that time the value of
the collateral was problematical, and
timid depositors hastened to close
their accounts. This caused a heavy
drain on the resources of the bank,
and in order TO avert trouble the Off
GERS of the institution decided upon
liquidation as the easiest way out of a
perplexing financial tangle, No finan-
cial statement will be given to the pub
lie, such procedure being deemed un-
necessary, insomuch as the business of
the defunct bank has been transferred
to the Fidelity Trust Co.. which will
conduct its affairs as it does its own,
paying all .epositors in full. There
were no runs or heavy Withdrawals
from any of the other banking institu-
tions today, and no runs are expected

President Roosevelt will have to con-
slider when he returns is that growing

These distributors of the federal

to four years service, but would be
continued on good behavior has made
the presidential postmasters "chesty."

OBLIGED TO FIX RATES AS
PACKING COMPANIES SAY
II Railroads Want the Business They
Must Take II at the Price
Offered.
NO REBATES SAYS sTIcKNEY
How Could There Be When the Rail.
road President Declares He
Has No Choice?o

Chicago, Sept ga. b. Stickney,
president of the Chicago Great West
ern Railroad Co., was before Judge
Bethea, in the United States circuit
court, today, and said that his own and
all other railroad companies as far as
ne knew were at the mercy of the
packers as shippers. He was testify
ing for the defense in the cases of the
interstate commerce commission
against the Chicago Great Western
railroad and IL similar corporations.
in connection with -readjustment of
the rates on shipments of livestock
from Missouri river points to Chicago.
Judge Bethea became greatly inter-
ested and asked number of pertinent
questions of the railroad president,
seeking knowledge on the granting of
rebates. President Stickney denied
that the Chicago Great Western Co.
had granted single rebate or damage
claim since the issuance of Judge
Grosscup's injunction.
"Mr. Stickney,' said the court, "how
do you arrive at conclusion in maxi
ing your rate on dressed meats? You
say everything in regard to expense Is
taken into consideration and the rate
fixed as fairly as possible"
In fixing the rate on dressed meat
we don't have very much to say" smil-
ingly answered President Stickney.
THE packer generally makes the rate.
He comes to you and always makes
you feel that he is your friend. Then
he asks you how much you charge for
certain shipments of dressed meats.
The published tariff may be 20 cents
per hundred, but he will not pay that.
You say to him, I'll carry your meat
for Is cents.'' He says, oh, mo- you
won't | won't pay that Then you
say. Well, what will you pay for it?'
He then replies, I can get it hauled for
16 cents So you haul it for 16 cents
per hundred. He generally tells you
that If you want the business you must
haul the meat for the price he names"
'Mr Stickney, are you sure your
railroad company has paid no rebates
or damages since the granting of the
Injunction" asked Judge Bethea.
"Yes, | am sure of that We have
paid no rebates"

IN SHAPELESS MASS
BODY WAS FOUND
AFTER TON OF POWDER ExPLoD.
ED IN FIREWORKS FACTORY.
One Killed and Five MortaIIy Wound.
ed--Polieemen Found Only
Hole In the Ground.

New York, Sept. 25.-One man was
killed and five persons mortally in
jured today in an explosion of nearly
ton of powder in the fireworks fac
tory of Joseph Stezzie, at Warwick
and Bleecker streets, Green Point.

jured; will die.
Joseph Stezzie, the owner of the
works, husband of the woman injured
and father of the boys, was absent at
the time of the explosion. All the in
jured were blown high in the air and
that any escaped instant death is con-
sidered almost miracle. The body of
Tony was found fully 200 feet away, a
shapeless mass of flesh and bones.
When the explosion came the roof
of the building, one-story frame
structure, which stood some distance
from other buildings, was blown into
the air and the earth for blocks around
shook with the concussion, while the
air was filled with flying fragments OF
the demolished building. Policeman
Crane, who was four blocks away, was
thrown on his face by the explosion
On recovering he turned in an alarm
of fire and summoned ambulances and
the police reserves. The policeman
then rushed to the scene, but on arriv-
ing found only a hole in the ground
where the factory had once stood Mrs.
Stezzie was found some distance away
under a pile of broken timbers. BY
that time the firemen began to arrive
and the other injured were hurried
away to hospitals. The dead body of
Tony was found under pile of debris.
The cause of the explosion is un-
known. The small factory was filled
with fireworks, and it was said that
there was a quantity of dynamite also
stored there, but this could not be veri-
fed .-H
