 Surplus. si5s2s.s5O; decrease. SOAPS.
 Ex. United States deposits, 17,95s, s29; decrease, 929.450.
 New York, January 27.-The Financier says this week:
 The official statement of the New York Associated banks last week showed a much smaller cash gain than was estl7 mated upon the basis of the traoeable movement during the week.
 This decrease was, however. partly fore shadowed by such estimates and the figures were not disappointing. It seemed to be due largely to smaller disburse- ments by the treasury than in the pre- vious week and also to losses by the banks through shipments of gold to Mex ieo and Argentina. The cash gain, as offl- cially reported wasN $S501.10O The de- posits increased $17,743. 300. chiefly as the result of an expansion of S15,bll,SOO in ioans-and the required reserve against general deposits was augmented s4, 435,S25, deducting from which the gain In cash as above left $9S4,7 725 as the decrease in surplus reserve to S15,s25, $50 Computed upon the basis of the deposits, less those of Ss,516.300 public funds, the surplus Is S179 925. It may be noted that the state ment failed to make a good proof, the sum of the increase in loans and of cash being S1,2f5.000 greater than the gain in deposits It is also noteworthy that the deposits were greater by $5949,30O than the loans in the previous week this ex- cess was 800. Considering the fact that there was extensive liquidation of speculative accounts in the stock market last week. the loan expansion of $15517, 500 as above, was somewhat surprising It may be accounted for, however, by the increased borrowing for fixed periods. The daily average of bank clearings during the week was S415, ,0O0 900, against $40, ,O0O- 900 in the previous week. The elearings reported on Saturday, refiecting Fridays business, were $412,910.S26. Comparing last weeks with this weeks individual banks, ten institutions showed a net gain of $11 o00. GOO; five banks increased cash by $2,500,000 net.

FIRE EXPERTS BUY CLIPPINGS
Commissioners Expend Sc Monthly in
Order to Keep Posted on News
paper Comment

With big overdraft staring 1t in the
face, the fire commission pays Sc a
month to press clipping bureau to
learn what the world thinks of it's
actions. This was brought out in the
monthly bill for the fire department.
allowed by the fire commission at it's
session yesterday. The total bill was
23916.3O. This was for material and
supplies purchased during December
and did not include the monthly pay
roll of the department.
In addition to whatever comments
the public press may make on the fire
commission and the department in gen.
eral it is contended that the chief of
the fire department secures valua ble
information on how to fight fires
through these clippings. The bureau to
which the fire commission subscribes
sends in clippings from eastern papers
OH the way fires are handled in va
rious cities
The claim that these clippings are of
any aid in fighting fires in Los An
geles is in direct opposition to testi-
II ony evoked at the investigation of
the fire chief on charges preferred by
Miss Helen Mathewson. 1t was then
contended that each fire was a prob
lem in itself and the methods that
had been used at one fire could not be
used at another.

GROOM Of So HAS
ODD WAR RECORD
SOLDIER IN TWO ARMIES
MARRIED AT SAWTELLE
James F. Rush Has Had Thrilling
Experiences on Plains and as
Driver for Old Over
land Mail

When the marriage of James f. Rush
of the Soldiers home to Sophia Lilly
of Sawtele was solemnized December
2S at the Lilly residence few if any, of
the immediate friends knew that behind
the bridegroom's modest demeanor was
hidden a life story of unusual events
similar to a page from a book of ad-
venture.
Rush has the distinction Of having
served in both the Union and Con-
federate armies.
Born in Mississippi of parents who, at
the time of the secession of that state,
were of decidedly Union proclivties, it
was not singular that young Rush
should evade inducements to enter the
Confederate army. There came a day,
however, when he was drafted, and
with other conscripts was sent to the
'front.' where he was forced to face as
foes those whom he would regard as
friends.
When drafted into the Confederate e
army he was assigned to company A,
Seventh Mississippi infantry, and his
chief service was in the army of East
Tennessee, commanded variously by
Bragg and Hood, in Chalmers brigade
of Withers division.
In the autumn of 1865 he was taken
prisoner by the Yankees and with other
prisoners was taken to historic Camp
Chase, Ohio, where he was released in
the spring OF 1865, and for the first
time found an opportunity to manifest
his loyalty to the Union by enlisting in
the United States army where he
served in company B, Fifth United
States artillery, from April, 1865, until
mustered out by general order October
1866.
After this he removed to the western
states, where he secured a position, in
those anti-rai1road days, with the
Southern overland mail route of Bar
low e. Saunderson, whose stage lines
extended from Missouri to Santa Fe.
In this employment he continued for a
number of years.
Those were the days when behind
each rock or shrub, or, if on the plains,
behind each cump of grass one might
look for lurking red man, whose hand
was ever against the intrusive white.
Many thrilling tales of sudden at
tacks and narrow escapes marked his
experience in this period of his life, and
to providence alone, he says, is due the
fact that his scalp did not decorate the
wigwam of some Indian.
"Once" he said, at was along in the
fall of '67, as a cowpuncher, | was out
alone when seven Indians rode down
upon me, and owing to the fact that
my horse had gone lame from the bite
OF rattlesnake and was therefore use
less 1 feared my last hour had come,
For an hour or more 1 managed to
keep them off, and was beginning to
despair when Capt. Greenleaf of the
United States survey rode into view
and the redskins fled.
while driving on the mail route I
arrived at Great Bend to find that Dick
Kitchen, who had preceded me, was the
sole survivor of twenty-nine men who
had been killed by the savages the day
before"
Mr.. Rush has been employed as gar
dener at the Soldiers home for a num-
ber of years, and now, at 65 years of
age, marries for the first time.
Mrs. Rush was a widow. She has
three daughters.

FIREMAN PLEADS GUILTY
Man Whom Mayor Defended in For
mer lntoxicatlon Case Again
Falls From Grace

Mayor McAleer felt called upon to
apologize to the fire commission yes
terday morning when G. p. Cochran. a
hoseman in engine company No. 8, was
arraigned before that body on a charge
of intoxication, to which he pleaded
guilty.
Cochran had once before been be-
fore the commission on the same
charge, and although the members of
the commission favored dismissing
Cochran from the service, the mayor
pleaded his cause and he was given
another chance.
Christmas morning Cochran admitted
he again became intoxicated and was
Immediately suspended by the ctptain
of the company, who yesterday pre-
ferred charges against him. The may
or gave Cochran a severe scoring for
his second fall from grace and de-
clared he now was ready to abide by
the decision of the commission and
would take no further interest in his
case. The commission prolonged the
suspension for a week, during which
time the case viii be considered.
