gun, Mr.. Frederick Landis (Ind.) be-
ing the first speaker.
Mr.. Ames Mass said he had q
method Of federal control of insurance
which President Roosevelt had en-
dorsed. It was a code of laws that
would embrace what Is best in the
laws of several states. He claimed
his plan would blacklist any company
which did not do a legitimate business.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala.) discussed i'm
migration, which, he said, was of more
Importance than insurance.

ARRAiGNED IN COURT.
TWO LABOR LEADERS ALSO INVOLVED
LATTER PLACED A BOYCOTT ON
THE PRODUCT OF CONCERNS
NOT IN THE TRUST.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-The so-called
brick trust" of Chicago made a COM
plete surrender to States Attorney
Healy in court during the day and was
fined an aggregate of $4,000. The
company and number of its officials
together with two labor leaders, were
indicted for conspiracy to do an IL

to restrict the production and sale of

George G. Prussing, president Of the
Illinois Brick company; John H. Spey,
sales agent for the same company
William H. Wackler, superintendent
of the company; Edward j. Tomlins,
sales agent of the Chicago Brick COM
pany; John H. Shellhamher, sales
agent afor the American Brick COM
pany; Patrick Mcmahon, business
agent of the Brick, Sand, Lime and
Terra Gotta Transfers union; Charles
Hank, business agent of the Brick
makers union; the Illinois Brick COM
pany, Chicago Brick company and
American Brick company.
Small Dealers Make Complaint.
The indictments were procured at
the instance of 9 number of small deal
ers, who complained TO the grand jury
that they were unable to- secure sup
plies unless they complied with the
terms and all demands of the COM
btnation of brfckmakers, which prac-
tically controlled the output of brick
in Chicago and vicinity.
When the cases were called in court
the attorneys for the defense AN
nounced that William H. Weckler, gen.
eral superintendent of the Illinois
Brick company, had decided to turn
states evidence and it was desired
that the punishment to be inflicted on
the other nine defendants should be
RENTED tn his case. States Attorney
Healy declared that he was willing
case and the attorneys then
entered pleas of guilty for all the other
defendants. The court assessed fines
of $4,000 in each case. The amount
was paid at once by the attorneys and
the defendants were dismissed.
The charge against the labor lead
ers, included with the officials of the
brick combine in the indictment, was
that they called strikes on buildings
where the contractors used brick pur-
chased from others than those in the

front with securities amounting to
about IS ,OOO, 900 more. This lett a de-
.ficit Of about $4,000, 900 to: DE faced
and the Chicago banks represented at
the meeting declared at once that they
would meet the situation and care for
the deficit. II 1t proved necessary to
advance any more than $4,000, 900 n to
meet all demands the banks pledged
themselves to make up the amount
whatever it might be. It was also ar
ranged that the allied bankers should
take all of Mr.. Walsh's private enter
prises, including his coal mines, rail.
roads and stone quarries.
When the insolvent banks opened
for business long lines of depositors
were on hand to draw out their money.
Extra clerks had been put to work
and all day long the task of paying
depositors of both institutions was
carried on as rapidly as possible.
& IN order to make secure as far as
possible all claims against the bank
Mr.. Walsh turned over to the officials
of the Clearing house. who are operat-
ing the two banks, all of his property.
Mrs. Walsh also made over to the
Clearing all OF the property
standing in her name. It Is thought
that there will be enough Of this to
make the amount to be paid out by the
other banks of the city comparatively
small. 80

Germany Takes Steps to Rescue En-

Berlin, Dec. 19.-The decision OF
Chancellor Won Buelow with the ap-
proyal Of the emperor to send German
steamers to ports OF the Russian Bal
tic provinces and bring away the Ger
mans who are In danger of their lives
is regarded as most important act
and one that may be the first In q
series of steps which the German gov
srnment may deem necessary to safe
guard the interests OF German sub
jscts whose estates are now being
plundered or whose businesses are be-
Ing ruined by the revolts. A strong
feeling exists among unofficial people
over the murders of Germans and the
attacks on them even In large places,
such as Riga. and the evident power
.lessness Of the Russian government to
give them immediate protection.

! OF RAILROAD MEN.

Ut. Petersburg, Dec. 19.-The revo-
lutionary organizations are making
3feverish preparations to fight the gov
ernment's policy of repression. The
new workmen's council, representa-
tives OF other proletartat organizations
and also the League Of Leagues met
secretly in the outskirts Of ST. Peters
burg and discussed ways and means.
The great majority Of the members
favored the immediate proclamation
Of the general strike, which had been
planned for January, but It was agreed
that success depended on whether the
railroad men would participate. It Is
Understood that tentative decision
was arrived at to strike on Wednes-
day provided the central committee at.
Moscow consents. There Is division
of sentiment in the ranks of the rail-
road men and the government has,
made a special effort to redress some
of the grievances, dreading above all
things suspension Of traffic on the
railroads, which would make 1t impos-
sible to transport troops. A railroad
man said to the Associated Press
& Eve have had a majority OF our
demands granted; besides. the people

they are likely to kill any railroad

Lorain, o., Dec. 49, Coroner French
has begun an investigation into the
circumstances attending the death Of
Mrs. William Marsh, her two children
and James Dwyer, whose bodies were
found in the ruins OF the Verbeck the
alter building which burned early Sun
day morning. Mrs. Marsh was the
wife of the stage manager Of the the
alter and occupied apartments in the
block. The coroner gave it as his
opinion that there were enough sus-
picious circumstances connected with
the affair to warrant the theory that
murder had been committed and the
place set on fire to cover up the crime.

SERIOUS RIOT At SHANGHAI
TWO FOREIGNERS AND TWENTY
NATIVES KILLED BEFORE
Y ORDER is RESTORED. .

Washington, Dec. 19.-The state de.
partment has news from Shanghai that
serious situation exists there. Two
cablegrams received at the department
over night state that trouble arose
through strike and was increased by
dispute growing out of some cases
being tried before the consular courts.
Two foreigners have been killed and
many wounded. Naval forces, sup
posedly from the British squadron, are
guarding the streets. Police stations
have been burned. No Americans have
thus far been injured, but the official
statement was made that the situation
Is regarded as serious. Two American
cruisers are now on their way to
Shanghai.
The state department information of
these events was contained in several
dispatches from Shanghai, the last of
which was received about 3 a. m.
from Consul General Rodgers. 1t is
gathered that the moving causes for
the riots were the anti-American boy
colt and general feeling of hostility
toward foreigners such as preceded
the boxer uprising of 1900. a.
7 New York, Dec. ia serious riot
among coolie laborers resulting in the
death of twenty Chinese and injury of
several foreigners has occurred at
Shanghai, China, according to cable
gram received by Fearon, Daniel &
Co. of this city from their Shanghai
Office. The cablegram says: L.
"Rioting by coolie classes; business
suspended. Two police stations burned.
About twenty Chinese killed: few for
eigners injured. Marines restoring or
der. Further trouble and fires antici-
pated.''

CRITICAL SITUATION AvERTED.
;comptroiier Ridgsley Discusses Action
Of clearinghouse Banks.

! Comptroller Ridseley DIscusses Action
Of clearinghouse Banks.
Chicago, Dec. The following
statement concerning the failure OF
the Chicago National bank, the Home
Savings bank ana the Equitable Trust
company was given out BY Comptroller
spf the Currency Hidgeley:
s.: The action Of the Chicago Clear
lnghouse banks in coming to the aid OF
the Chicago National bank. the Home.
Savings bank and the Equitable Trust
company has relieved most critical
situation, which, II 1t had not taken;
promptly In hand, might have led to
very serious consequences not only In
Chicago but elsewhere. The action Of
the Clearinghouse banks makes it abb:
Dolutely certain that all the creditors
pf the three institutions will receive
their money imme diately and should
thus relieve any apprehension on the
part Of the public IN regard to the
financial troubles In Chicago. The crit
lcaI situation In which these three
concerns have been placed has been
due to the large loans made to the
railroad, coal mining and other enter
prises owned and controlled by John
r. Walsh. This again emphasizes the
danger of the managing officers OF
banks being Interested In outside insti-,
stutions requiring large amounts OF
money. The comptroller's Office has
for some time been criticising the con-
aition of the Chicago National and call
Ing upon Its officers and directors to
Reduce Amount Of These Loans
and the investments in the bonds Of
Mr.. Walsh's corporations. In spite OF
repeated promises that this should be
done these items have been continued
In the bank and In order to prevent
further Entertainments 1t was neces-
sary for the comptroller to take rad.
ical action. The comptroller's Office;
has for some time been endeavoring
to make an examination of the Chi:
.cago bank simultaneously with an ex-.
animation Of the state institutions by
the bank examiner, but was not able
to bring this about until q few days
ago. The result OF these examina.
3tions revealed such q serious 1condi.
ton that 1t was necessary to take Inn
mediate action. The comptroller tele-
phoned from Washington instructing
Bank Examiner BosWorth TO bring the
matter at once to the attention of the

COUNTY TAXES

Only about 10 days more remain in
which delinquent county tax payers
can make settlement of the amounts
charged against them and avoid hav-
ing their property advertised and
sold The delinquent tax list will be
published about July 20 and after that
time the only way property can be
saved will be by redeeming it after
sale according to law.
Taxes are delinquent on April 1 and
the tax collector is supposed to make
his final report during the first week
in July. 1t has been the custom
however, to allow several weeks extra
in which delinquents can pay up.
In the city, delinquents are charged
a certain percentage of the amounts
due as penalty, but this is not he case
with the county taxes.
