COAL TRADE OF
J.E. ROSE is LARGE
Has Built Up a Lucrative Patronage IN
Southeast Washington II
Recent Years

Early in 1871 there was established IN
Alexandria hrst-class wood yard, at
which was introduced fer the FIRST tiii's
saWn and split wood. The proprietor
was Mr.. j. e. Rose, one CT the pest anu
most charitable business men IN tiiu'
section. AS is often the case, MI Rose
was imposed upon By being asked 10 IA
dorse many notes for friends he gave
nm his business there, but after having
thoroughly Strengthened out his afIalrs
he came to Washington eighteen years
ago to Try his fortune. He began bust
ness here with 500 worth or coal and a
small vessel fun of wood. He exercised
keen business sagacity in his dealings,
and now he ranks as one OF the foremost
dealers in coal and wood.
His rapid rise in business may be said
to date from the time when he secured
the first contract for buekwheat coal to
be delivered To the navy yard gunshop.
This contract was for $500 tons. Since
that time his Government contracts
have increased TO an enormous extent.
He furnishes much Of the fuel for the
Capitol building and many other public
places. a record Of which any dealer
could well be proud is that held by MIR.
Rose-namely, that ne has never had a
single ton Of coal which he has furnished
TO the Government rejected.
His pleased customers recommend him
to their various friends. Mr.. Rose has q
, splendid delivery service. and he makes
a feature OF his promptnesS IN this re-
spect.

Is his able assistant, is very promi-

little partial to home companies, but not
markedly so and that foreign companies
are given a fair chance to do business.

panies all of whom agreed, he said, that
the insurance exposures In the United
States had resulted in strengthening the
position of the companies. While in Lon
don Mr.. Morton attended the Fourth Of

at which William Jennings Bryan delivered
an address. In conversation with Mr. Nor
ton on that occasion Mr.. Bryan said that

DEPoSIToRS ANXIOUS FOR CASH
Policemen Overwhelmed In Mad Rush
of People nt Defunct Chi
caRo Bank.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Sixty policemen were
overwhelmed today by a mad rush Of men
and women, who were determined to get
the first money paid out Of the vaults Of
the ruined Milwaukee Avenue State bank
Receiver Fetzer had made arrangements to
pay 20 per cent 10 5000 of the 1900 depos-
itors and everybody was anxious to be
among the 5000. At daybreak the crowds
swarmed around the bank and by o'clock
the bank was surrounded by 1900 people.
Sixty policemen had been sent to the bank
but they were unable to handle the crowd,
the greater part of which were unable to
understand the English language. Forty
more officers were hn.1r2 sent to the bank
and order was even then restored with
difficulty. 1t seemed impossible to make
the depositors comprehend that, although
only 5000 were to be paid today. the others
would be paid just as muck within the
next few days. At one time the crowd
threatened to fairly storm the bank, as,
waving their passbooks in the air, they
rushed for the DOORS shouting in Bohemian,
Polish, Norwegian and italian. The re-
ceiver was all day paying the 5000 and will
pay as many more tomorrow.
MADISON, Wis, Aug. X.-That Paul o.

paper man. Stromme, who knew Stensland
well, writes that he met the banker in
London and went to call on him later In
Stensland's apartments. The banker had
left in the meantime for Flushing and the
south OF Europe Stromme says that Stems
