Of the House OF Refuge. Their rooms were
on the third floor. During the day they

lark managed to reach the ground without
alarming the guards.
The absence of the girls was not noticed
until about $50, when the three guards
stationed on the shore heard screams and
a search was begun. The guards put out
in boats, but mistook the direction Of the
cries and rowed in the wrong direction.
Joseph Green, a negro boatman at the foot
Of East 13Oth street, also heard the calls
for help and after informing Policeman
lyman OF the Alexander avenue station
also put out in his boat. He was joined by
lyman in another boat and after failing to
locate the swimmers the two got graphing
hooks and began to drag at a spot where
Green was sure he had seen one go down.
Almost at once they brought up the body OF
Ida Williams.
The body was taken ashore and the boat
man and policeman tried to resuscitate
her. An ambulance surgeon from Lincoln
Hospital said that the girl was dead, He
refused to take the body to the hospital.

tina some Of the laborers had said that
they had pulled a girl from the water at
the edge Of the embankment. The switch
man thought that the girl had been taken
to a hospital. but zone Of the neighboring
hospitals had received such a patient. The
police believe that the girl was taken away
by some Of the men to whom she told her
story.
The body of the Williams girl was taken
back TO the island and'Coroner Mcdonald
began an Investigation.
This il the first attempt known OF a woman

PARIS, Nov. 2o.-At a meeting of the
Council OF Ministers to-day GastonT Thomson,
Minister Of Marine, announced hat he had
received the report Of the commission Of
inquiry appointed to investigate the loss
of the submarine Lutin, which. while ma
nauvring on Bizerta on October 10 failed
to rise after being submerged, with the re-
suit that the whole crew persisted.
Minister Thomson said the examination
had shown that the interior bulkhead of one
OF the water ballast compartments had
given way under the pressure Of the intake
of water which it was too weak to with
stand. The unusual pressure was caused
by the fact that the intake valve was in
completely closed, owing to the presence
Of a pebble. which must have been there for
a considerable time.

Much Interest Shown in Excursion Of

LAUNCHES OUT AFTER KANSAS BUSINESS
Price Changes Few I'm Last Week

Large, Especially ON summer
GOOds-shOes Are Active.

Not the least important thing in the his
tory Of Omaha's tobbing trade last week
was the excursion OF the Commercial club
into Kansas. About 100 representatives OF
local houses invaded the Rock Island ter
Iritory, OF whose trade Kansas City always
had the lions share. The Omaha men
vieited the merchants with the idea of
|getting acquainted rather than with the
Idea of placing orders, and on that ac-
count made a much better impression than
the excursionists from Lincoln and Kansas
|city, who had already passed through
'the section. The members OF the party
believe their visit viii result in much good
ito the interests OF Omaha's trade
No features were attached to the week s
trade, as far as price fluctuations were
concerned. Business was good with job
'bers IN all lines, hardware. shoe and dry
goods houses reporting excellent demand for
heir goods, and the grocery houses having
heir usual active trade.
The shoe trade OF this month has
'eclipSed that OF the same month OF last
year, though that was considered a good
month and 20 date had the credit for the
largest May trade known. This was
pleasant surprise for the jobbers, who did

bers, as the crop is only 30 TO IS per cent
OF what 1t was last year.
In spot dried fruits the demand holds
up unusually well. Goods are going into
consumption rapidly and there are hardly
enough apricots in stock to make a mar
ket There is not as much activity in
dried peaches as was shown two or three
weeks ago, but this condition Is always
expected about the time the heavy ship
ments OF strawberries come on the mar
As mentioned a week ago jobbbers are
taking considerable interest in prunes and
raisins for fall delivery, the prices particu-
larry appearing very attractive The early
estimates of the California prune crop in
dicated heavy production, but later re-
600 pounds down to 100000. According
to the experience Of local jobbers with
previous estimates, the production will
really be between these two figures. and a
yield Of 100000 pounds is predicted.
careful Inquiry shows a heavier trade
on future prunes than has obtained for
clearer and purchases look safer than for
a long time. Therefore jobbeTs are taking
hold more eagerly and in a more liberal
way than In former seasons.
Cotton Goods Continue strong.
Dry goods jObbers still complain OF inabil-
tty 70 get goods from the mills, and some
lines OF cotton goods are completely sold out.
Cotton is strong at recent advances. House
trade has been satisfactory and the road
salesmen have been sending in large mail
orders from the country. Business for fall
delivery is excellent.
Paints, Oils and Glass.
Trade IL reported to be extraordinarily
heavy in all these lines. Lead, oil and
turpentine are moving so freely that the
greatest difhcult is reported to get the
goods rapidly enough TO supply the demand.
CSC. Boiled linseed oil is quoted today
at Elc, with the raw product worth cents
less. The window glass market Is firm and
the demand Is unusually brisk. Omaha
houses report that they are shipping large
quantities to California for use IN rebuild
ing after the earthquake disaster. The
demand. due TO the brisk opening Of the
