GERMAN JACKIES IN MUTINY
Crew of Cruiser F~rauenIoo An
swered Kaiser's Signal With a
Dirty Piece of Cloth.

Berlin, July 90 A mutiny occurred
on board the German cruiser Frauen-
loo during the visit of the kaiser to
Kiel, the men claiming they had been
harshly treated by their officers.
The emperor, who was on the royal
yacht Hohenzollern, hoisted a signal to
the fleet of warships. The men on the
F%rouenloo responded by hosting a
dirty piece of cloth. When they were
taken to task for this the men ex-
planned that they had taken this
means of calling the attention of the
kaiser personally to their grievances.
the emperor ordered the vessel out
Of the harbor and directed that the
men responsible for the mutiny should
be severely punished. The commander
of the warship was suspended on ac-
count of his excessive cruelty to the
crew.

THE WIDESPREAD HOT WAVE
1t Had the Effect of Retarding Dis
~ributiv Trade, But Stimu-
lated Crop Growth.

New York, July 22.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
A widespread hot wav has retarded
~distributive trade and interfered with
manufacturing industry, but has slim
ulated crop growth and thereby
strengthened the outlook for fall trade.
Retail trade in summer goods has been
benefited, as has also summer
resort business. Wholesale and job
bling trade is of good volume, consid-
ering the weather, and compares well
with a year ago. Confidence in fall
trade is unimpaired and there is a more
liberal tendency in placing fall orders.
The quieting in Industry is merely OF
a temporary character. Manufacturing
is really more active than usual at
this time, and summer shut downs are
not such a feature this year as in for
mer periods.

AN INJUNCTION REFUSED
nc VIII be Returned
Marked sFraudulent."

st. Louis. July 20.-Judge Smith Nc
Pherson refused the injunction asked
by the Lewis bank against Postmaster
Wyman of this city to restrain him
from carrying out the instructions in
the fraud order issued by Postmaster
General Cortelyou.
He also set aside the temporary re-
straining order, issued a week ago, I'M
der which the postmaster had been
compelled to hold the Lewis mail in
the local Office instead Of returning it
to the senders, which he is required to
do by the fraud order, and which he
will now resume, marking it "fraudu-
lent"
In his opinion. Judge Mcpherson
said, in part:
"Knowing only the allegations Of
this bill, it is strange to me that
any intelligent person could be
found who would invest a dollar In
this bank; and "A prudent and hon.
est bank examiner would never, on
the information conveyed i'm this
bill, make a report indorsing such
a bank"
The main decision relied upon by
Lewis attorneys was a Kansas City
case, decided by Judge Amidon, in
which it was held that a court has the
right to review the decisions of the
postmaster-general.
Judge Mcpherson held that, as this
case had been appealed to a higher
court, it could not be considered to be
the lawlby him when there were many
cases decided by the higher courts
holding the opposite view.

Frederick w. Vanderbilt, the least
conspicuous member of the family,
has a strong liking for Japanese archi-
lecture. He followed the lead of Mrs.
w. X. Vanderbilt, jr, in having all his
Adirondack camp rebuilt in the style
that prevails in chrysanthemum land.
After Mrs. Willie X. had her camp on
Blue lake built over by Japanese archi-
tects and workmen at large cost, n
never used it, but her husbands uncle
not only lived in his Oriental camp,
but has just had two more buildings
of similar character put up on his pre-

1t is a curious fact that Mr.. Gully,
former speaker of the British house Of
commons, at Il time was very de-
spondent as to his future, and that the
dependency was shared by two of his
comrades in the legal profession.
There is a story of those three dis
cussing seriously whether they had
not better throw up England altogeth-
er and seek fortune in India or one of
the colonies. Luckily they decided to
give fortune another chance, with very
notable results. Mr.. Gully ended as
speaker of the house of commons.

YOUNG BANDITS
BRIEF CAREER
He Caused a Ripple Of Excitement
at Waterloo, Illinois.
He NOW LANGUlSHES IN JAIL
At the Muxxle of a Pistol He Forced
the Cashier of the state Bank
Of Waterloo to Hand Him Over
All the Loose Money.

Waterloo, H., July pa ~red-haired
young man, who said he came from
Joplin, Mo-, carrying a large revolver,
and later carrying $475 that belonged
to the State Bank of Waterloo, threw
this little town into excitement We'd
nesday.
In broad daylight he robbed the as
sistant cashier Of the State Bank Of
Waterloo of $475 currency.
He was captured an hour later by a
posse that formed at the call Of the as
sistant cashier and is now in jail. He
gives the name of John w. Dudley and
says he is 20 years old.
About 10 a. M, as Assistant Cashier
Kaemper was alone in the bank, the
young man walked in.
He Pulled a Big Gun.
Nothing unusual was noticed about
him. AS the official looked at him
through the little window, expectantly,
the young man quickly and with a
b~usinesslike air pulled some object
from his hip pocket.
Kaemper did not need to look closely
to see that it was a big revolver and
that the barrel pointed straight at him.
Hand me what money there is in
that safe!" the stranger commanded.
Kaemper hesitated a moment. The
gun barrel moved a little higher.
The assistant cashier pulled the
money drawer out of the safe and laid
it on the counter while he gathered up
the currency for the robber.
His Movements Deliberate.
The latter deliberately rolled the bills
up. wrapped a piece of paper about
them and placed them in his pocket.
Then he turned and walked leisurely
toward the street.
AS he disappeared out the door,
Kaemper hurriedly closed the door Of
the safe and ran after him into the
street, where he gave the alarm that
the bank had been robbed.
The cry was taken up by others on
the street, and the course of the fleeing
man was followed by the eye until he
disappeared into a cornfield four blocks
from the bank.
A small posse, consisting of Sheriff
Thomas Ruch, Deputy Sheriff William
Poudler, William Tolen and George
Ruch was hurriedly organized and sur
rounded the cornfield.
1t was impossible to tell where the
man was hidden. and he was apparent
ly lying very still and there was no
movement of the cornstalks.
Captured without "a Struggle.
When all were finally armed, Tolen
and Sheriff Ruch advanced into the
cornfield, firing a number of shots over
the tops of ths corn.
A movement of the stalks showed
them the course being taken by the al
legged yrobber, who was attempting to
escape at the opposite side of the field.
Hurrying through the corn they came
upon him as he emerged from the field
into the arms of George Ruch and
Deputy Poudler.
The man made nc resistance when
he was cornered, but submitted to ar
rest. He returned the money.

NO OTHER BANKS AFFECTED.
Nothing Bordering On a Run Ex-
perfenced by Other Banks.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 21.-Up to
the close of banking hours no furry
| affecting other local institutions had
followed the failure of the City ma
| tional bank of Kansas City. Nothing
bordering on a run was experienced at
any of the other local banks and, &C
cording to the officers at each place,
none was expected. The City national
had been in a weakened condition for
some time. It's failure had been an
ticipated, and therefore no surprise was
shown in banking circles when the an
nouncement was made that it had been
taken in charge by National Bank Ex-
aminer Ames.
The failure Of the City national bank
to the fact that it held upwards Of
| 500, 900 of c. j. Devlin's paper, which
is tied up in the recent failure Of the
| First national bank at Topeka, Of
which Mr.. Deylin was the principal
stakeholder. The only one other Kan
| sas City bank that had held DeElin
| paper was the American national. G.
8. Jones, president Of the American ma
tional bank, stated that the 1907 900 of
| Devlin paper held at the time of the
Topeka failure had been purchased
since then from the American national
bank by its directors.
Thus, it was stated, there was no
| cause for a run on the American ma
tional. Indeed, it was announced by a
member Of the Kansas City clearing
house that no other Kansas City bank
would be permitted to fail, in case Of a
run, which was not expected, and that
the clearinghouse would gladly have
aided the Kansas City national bank,
had it not been found that the latter
carried SO much bad paper.
The Citizens national bank of Eure-
ka, Kas., and the First national bank of
Toronto, Kas., both of which institutions
were headed by Edward Crebo, presi-
dent of the City national bank, had APP
Iarently not been affected by the Kan
sas City failure up to the closing hour
Thursday. Telephone messages from
both points both stated that the banks
would not close.

The system of collecting fares in
the City of Mexico differs radically
from that employed in this country, as
a slip is handed by the conductor to
each passenger as a fare receipt. This
receipt shows the date, amount of fare
and direction of trip, bears a serial
number, and must be retained by the
passenger until the end of his ride as
proof that he has paid his fare. The
company has II different rates Of fare,
varying from 8 cents to 80 cents Mex

and second class.

Some of the European monarchs
give very large tips whenever they
travel, and others, on the contrary, are
quite ~niggardly. Emperor Nicholas of
Russia is the most liberal in this re-
spect. During his brief visit to France
three years ago he spent $4,000 on
tirs to servants and almost as much
or presents to officials and others.
King Edward of England is not quite
so generous, but as he travels a good
deal, both within his own realm and
abroad, he is obliged to lay aside each
year S32, 900 as an allowance for tips.

Because the irrigation projects of
the government are not visible at our
very doors, do not forget that they are
gradually transforming Western des-
erts into fertile fields. They are lay
ing the foundations for contentment
and fortune for thrifty Americans, and
for the increase of the producing ca
pacity of American farms. Homes are
rapidly springing up where heretofore
have been waste places, and golden
grain is being harvested where never
grew grain before.

binding him. But for the fact that

Since the first visit to the ice cap OF
the South pole was made, some SO
years ago, there has been a steady re
cession of the belt of some thirty
miles, and it is argued that in course
of time it will be possible to make ap.
proach to the pole itself, and that the
land in that vicinity may even become
inhabited.
