inefable sweetness Of the sound.

Their hearts were shared and torn away

''Ah, raven hair,

The song mad grown fainter and
fainter, the singer moving away as he
sang and the last lines We're almost in
audible in the distance. The guitar
could be heard for a moment or two
more, then silence came again. It was
broken by a rustling in the room next
to Miss Betty's, and Mrs. Tanberry
called softly through the open door:
princess, are you awake? Did you
hear that serenade?"
After a pause the answer came hest
tatingly in a small, faltering voice:
'Yes-if it was one. I thought perhaps
he was only singing as he passed along
the street.
"Aha" calculated Mrs. Tanberry
abruptly, as though she had made an
unexpected discovery. "You knew bet
ter and this was serenade that you
did not laugh at. Beautiful, I wouldn't
let it go any further, even while your
father is gone. Something might occur
that would bring him home without
warning. Such things have happened.

away from this house."

Betty quickly. SIT was Mr. Gray Did

wouldn't quit the place and come to

Nevertheless Betty knew the voice
was not that which had bid her look to

that it belonged to Mr.. Crailey Gray,
who had been too i'll few hours earlier
to leave the Bareaud house. and now,
with Fanchon's kisses on his lips, came
stealing into her garden and sang to
her song he had made for another

WATER, APPLIED EARLY, WOULD
HAVE QUENCHED FLAMES.
West Hotel Employees Give Sensational
Testimony at Coroner's Inquest
They Saw Fire Before It Reached
Fifth Floor and Ran for Hosereels-
Pipes Were Dry.

in the West hotel fire had there been
water in the standpipes. At the coro-
ner's inquest yesterday afternoon the
testimony OF John S. Corey and Will
liam Maloney, employees Of the hotel,
indicated this strongly.
Maloney were on the fifth floor, and,
noticing the smoke. they went to the
elevator and saw. the flames creeping
up from below. The fire was not burn
ing fercely at the time and they ran
for the hoseracks. Maloney unreeled
the hose while Corey tried to get water,
He turned the handscrew, but no water
came, and ,Mafoney told him he would
have to telephone to the engineer. The
telephones were then 'out Of order and
the two men had to drop the hose and
attend to the frightened guests.
They had the hose unreeled, and the
probabilities are that they could have
extinguished the fire in the shaft be-
fore it reached the fifth floor had there
been water. Maloney said that. after
water in the hose on the upper floors
and he had helped to drain it.
Fred Wood, the elevator boy, caused
considerable laughter when he admitted
frankly that he was stricken with stage
fright when he saw the guests trying
to escape. His testimony, however, was
as important as any introduced at the
inquest. He said that when he NOTICED
the fire he was on the office floor. The
fire was then creeping down the guide
rail. His. testimony with that Of Ma
loney and Corey, shows that the fire
started somewhere between the frs
and fourth floors.
Isaac M. Ref. bell captain, said thai
the alarms all worked well ant
this statement was corroborated by Ma
loney, who said that he heard alarm
ringing in the rooms when he was OF
the fifth floor.
Reif's testimony also showed that
had the guests known how to find thu
rear, stairway, few of them would have
been overcome with smoke. Re1f SAL
he went up the back stairway to tn
seventh floor and that he had no trou

fairly free from smoke and e7SScap
would have been easy that way. Thos
who did find this exit had no troubl
in reaching the lower floors.

KERST TAKES ISSUE
WITH SECRETARY SHAW

Public Examiner P. NJ. Kerst, in
letter to the Commercial West, takes is
sue with Secretary Shaw, who recently
declared himself in favor Of less re
striction on loans from national banks
The law now prohibits national banks
from loaning more than 10 per cent Of
their capital to one person or corpora
ton The secretary of the treasury
took the ground that because great in
terests demand large loans, sometimes
several millions, the banks should have
wider latitude, as when Armour wants
$8,000,0O0 he is not going to run
around to a score Of banks to get it.
b Mr.. Kerst holds the sentiment to be
demoralizing, and says that careful
bankers will not take loans of such
vast amount without dividing them up,
as insurance companies do with large
risks. State banks in Minnesota are
limited in their loans Of Is per cent,
and there is no trouble found in hold
ing them to such restriction. Even the
Security bank, with $1,000,000 capital
and over $10,0O0,000 deposits, observes
the rule strictly. In conclusion Mr..
Kerst says: ~. ..
"It strikes me that the lesson of the
half-dozen national bank failures dur.
ing the year, in Chicago, Pittsburg, To-
peka and Faribault, is. that what the
country needs is more strict, rather
than more loose, compliance with the
banking laws and particularly the laws
governing loans -El.

Almost Worthless Pelts Of Wolves and

neapolis Fur Traders to Cheat Coun-
ty Officers in Localities Where Heavy
Bounties Are offered for Heads.

An extraordinary demand for the al
most worthless skins Of wolves and
wildcats has raised strongsu spicion that
they are being used by an organized
gang to cheat county officers in locali-
ties where heavy bounties are offered
for the determination Of these animals.
The first intimation that illegal use
was made Of the skins purchased from
Minneapolis fur traders came from
wisconsin Inquiry was received from
Barron and Seymour suggesting that
fur traders be asked whether they had
had opportunity to dispose of certain
classes of skins. Investigation reveals
that almost every fur warehouseman
in Minneapolis has been visiteds this
winter by would-be purchasers Of wolf
and wildcat pelts. One man was
around last week in quest of green
wolf skins. He didn't care about the
fessed to know something about grades,
he offered three times the market price
for what were available. The only
thing he insisted on was that the ears
and scalp should be in perfect con-
dition.

ting the ears and scalps in different
counties which demand these trophies

distribution of the various parts of the
skin in. several counties, the supposed
wild-animal slayer could reap a big
profit on very modest investment.

Cold May Avert Threatened Fate O.

The break in the Chicago egg mar

weather and the consequent influx Of
fresh eggs. has not yet been felt at the
Minneapolis Produce exchange, tho the
dealers anticipate a drop in conse-
quence Of the collapse of the corner.
The same conditions which broke the
Chicago market have prevailed here, to
less degree, and all last week fresh
eggs were plentiful enough to bring the
retail price down to "a cents. The in
creased consumption incident to this
drop prevented any loss to the COM
mission men, but the cold storage peo-
pie were hard hit.
Retail cold storage eggs dropped to
20 cents. 1t cost the cold storage peo-
pie 16 cents dozen to lay in these
eggs, and with the cost Of storage added
to this sum the wholesale price and the
actual cost of the eggs are uncom-
fortably close.

tinues for any length of time. will cut

WANTS SALOON MONEY.

NAME SOCIETY SHOULD GET A
SHARE OF LICENSE FEES.

Rev. J. M. Cleary suggested at yes
terday's annual meeting of the Min
neapolis Humane society that the organ
izatioT was entitled to an appropriation
from the money collected by the city
for saloon licenses, as 80 per cent Of
the cases it cares for were caused by
liquor. The suggestion was greeted
with enthusiasm and some effort will
probably be, directed to secure some
such enactment.
President Harlan p. Roberts told
some unpleasant truths about the 6nan.
cial needs of the society in his annual
report, but stated that he was not wor-
rying about the future, as he felt sure
that the people Of Minneapolis would
not let the good work suffer. He an
nounced that certain people, whose
names were withheld by request, had
volunteered to build a permanent AMI.

equipped with all the necessary appara
tus and that they would furnish fund
for its maintenance.

HAS BADER SUSPECT
Detective Nabs Carl Arthur johnson on
Battleship Texas. E., - ~

Carl Arthur johnson, recently en-
ployed as railroad man in Minneapolis
has been arrested in Charleston, s. c.
or suspicion of being connected with
the murder Of Charles O. Bader, at the
Falls hotel on the night Of Dec. %.
Circumstantial evidence prompted
the arrest. Requisition papers have
been secured and the suspect will be
brought back to Minneapolis as soon as
the papers are forwarded to Detective
Charles Brown, who has been working
on the case and: located johnson at
Charleston! - -.
I Johnson's sudden disappearance from
Minneapolis the night after the Badel
murder caused suspicion to fall upon
him, and private agencies took up the
work of. 10 eating him in the hope of get
ting the big reward. A week ago def
mite information was secured that John
son was in Norfolk, Va. Later it was
found that he had enlisted on the sec
ond-class battleship Texas, on which he
was arrested.
