CAUSES ANOTHER SUICIDE.
Chicago's Bank Failure Proving a
Bad One.

ChicagO.-Frank kowalski, paying
teller OF the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank, which failed Monday, and for
some time assistant receiving teller
in addition to his other duties, shot
and killed himself at his home. Crit
icism by neighbors and lifelong friends
who accused him of a share in the
downfall of the bank, is believed to
have driven Kowalski to his death.
Kowalski has complained bitterly
OF the suspicious of his friends, and
declared that unless his character was
speedily cleared he would take his own
life.
Kowalskis relatives are firm in the
belief that he was innocent Of any
wrong doing in the management of the
bank.
Kowalski was 80 years old and had
worked for the bank for 10 years.
While the coroner was holding an
inquest over the body Of Kowalski a
crowd Of angry foreign men and wo-
men gathered about the house and Gre
ated demonstration. A Polish man
and woman entered the house and
hurled athemas at the family, shook
their fists at the body and cursed the
memory of the young man.
The crowd tore the wreath of crepe
from the door and crushed it In the
gutter. The excitement grew to riot,
when the police subdued it with clubs.
More Than One Thief.
All theories that Paul o. Stensland
was the sole forger of the 100000
worth Of crooked notes in the looted
Milwaukee Avenue State bank have
been smashed.
At least three other men in addition
to the crooked president are thought
to have been engaged in the production
of bogus signatures.
The big forger, it is said, is Cashier
Herring. The authorities now believe
his hand planned the signatures to
over 100000 worth of crooked paper
The first thing to make the inquisi-
tors certain was the discovery Of a
bogus $4,000 note with the name Of
M. A. Labuy attached TO it.
When confronted with the signature
and charged with its execution, Herring
became embarrassed.

CHAPTER XIV.

The Pretty Mary-as ugly and evil
smelling tub as ever pitched under
southerly burster-had been lying on
and off Cape Surville for nearly three
weeks. Captain Blunt was getting
wearied. He made strenuous efforts to
find the oyster beds of which he was os-
tensibly in search, but no success attend
ed his efforts. In vain did he take boat,
and pull into every cove and nook be-
tween the Hoppolyte Reef and Scouten
Island. In vain did he run Pretty Mary
as near to the rugged cliffs as he dared
to take her, and make perpetual expedi-
lions to the shore. In vain did he-in
his eagerness for the interests of Mrs.
Purfoy-clamber up the rocks, and
spend hours In solitary soundings in
Blackman's Bay. He never found an
oyster. IF l don't find something in
three or four days MORE" said he to his
mate, Il shall go back again. It's too
dangerous cruising here"
On the same evening that Captain
Blunt made this resolution, the watch

Railroad
Status

Washington. Dec. 10.-The Inter.
state Commerce Commission has re.
Gently defined the status of railroads
In the Hawaiian Islands as regards
their relation to the railroad rate law.
The commission has decided that the
Oahu Railroad and Land Company may
properly charge different rates for the
same service, under certain conditions,
providing the tariff schedules are filei
with the commission. This railroad
feared that in making these different
rates II might be violating the Elkins
law and brought the question itself
before the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission for decision.
II seems that the road has contracts
with several plantations in Hawaii by
which sugar is shipped to Honolulu at
a specified rate. Many of these con.
tracts were made before the annexa.
ton of the islands for long term OF
years. A certain rate was fixed for
the first ten years and a lower rate for
the next ten years, and so on. These
rates were explained to the commits.
sion by Sidney Ballou, attorney for the
road and l.. A. Thurston and +. VI.
Hatch, who came on from Hawaii for
Il hearing In the case last week.
The contract rates represent about
So per cent of the business of the road
and are lower than the rate charged
to other shippers for similar service,
but II was shown that the difference
was small and that the contract
freight was handled by the planta.
tons. When the contract with the
Eva plantation recently expired the
railroad made the same rate to all
shippers to that station.
After looking into the whole aues
ton the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion decided that there were no proyi
sions In the Elkins law which would
endanger the road In fixing these rates
and that any apparent determinations
which the road makes Ia It's rates were
warranted by conditions. The com.
mission reserves the right to pass up.
on the dual tariffs at any time In case
any shipper makes complaint thai he
Is charged an unjust or unreasonable
rate. While the determinations are
approved, the commission warned the
road that II must stand ready to de.
fend them whenever complaint against
them Is made.
Mr.. Ballou, before returning to Ha.
wall, will confer with the counsel Of
the Pacific Gable Company at New
York regarding its libel Of 100000
against the steamship Manchuria for
services Of the Restorer In rescuing
the liner some weeks ago.

--,EIiss roe On II. ana then brought a
delicate. long legged, gold painted chair,
on which she climbed timidly, listening
all the while for sound.
The chandelier was high and Polly
not tall, so do her best, standing on her
tiptoes, she could not reach the fixture.
Il must get up on the table," she said
to herself. "and hope I'll not fall and
break my neck and rouse the house"
Just as this very courageous little
maiden stepped to the table with, one
foot, while the other was still resting
on the insecure chair there was the
sound Of a latchkey in the front door
and then blast Of wintry wind and
two voices in the hall. They We're
those of her oldest and most unbear-
able brother Fred, and the other voice
belonged to Archie Steadman. 1t was
too much for Polly. 1t would be awful
If Fred discovered her.
She tried TO step down from her in
secure perch, but the treacherous orna-
mental chair tilted, and Polly came down
suddenly, striking her head against
the table. She was too frightened to
, feel the hurt for the noise was great
enough to .startle Fred into saying:
whats that? Burglars. I'll bet
Come on. Arch"
Saying that. Fred bounded forward
and switched on the light and. SeZing

into the parlor. But Polly had manag-
ed to get on her feet and scamper TO
the library door. dropping one of her
slippers as she went and leaving the
lamp behind her. but try as she might
she could not open the library door,
and stood there pulling with a strength
born of desperation. while Fred said;
Burglars! Here's the light. They're
after the gifts on the tree. Come on!'
With his cane swinging like an In
dian club. Fred sprang into the library.
while Archie. with his umbrella. fol
lowed. and both advanced upon the
burglars They could hear the rattllng
of the doorknob, and Fred shouted
'You may as we'll give up. You're
caughtp'
And then the library was also flooded
with light, which was reflected from a
thousand gilded ornaments on the tree.
and by the illumination Fred and
Archie saw a miserable little figure IN
yellow pajamas, huddled up like a cold
duckling, with one bare foot and with
its head down, in the corner of the door
frame as though trying to hide.
From her baby days Polly had had
queer habit of hopping from one foot
to the other without moving from her
place when frightened or angry. Now
one slippered little foot and one pink
bare one kept up the familiar hopping
movement. Fred looked at the culprit
moment and then sprang forward
and. seizing one shoulder and the long
braid of hair, turned her around to the
light, while the miserable girl covered
her face with her hands. Fred laugh
ed loud and long, saying:

Saying this. the dainty little beauty
stamped her foot, now in its slipper,
which Jared the room ever so slightly,
and the doll did nod it's head Polly
laughed, half startled, but with new
courage. She took the night light in
one hand and the bunch of mistletoe in
the other, with its graphing wires. and
stole downstairs to the library door
and on into the parlor, not noticing that
the library door had shut to with the
spring lock.
Polly did not wish to awaken any
member of the family, so she did not
switch on the lights. Her own tiny
light but made the darkness visible. 1t
was fearsome down here all alone in
the dark. so she hurried and pushed
the side table over into the middle of
the room under the chandelier. wifi, t'ir
