Not long ago Emmett Dalton was
asked if he would say something of
himself and tell the details of the Cof-
feyville raid. There were five members
of the gang that participated in that
raid, but Emmett Dalton was the only
one who escaped with his life. For Is
Lansing, Dalton has steadfastly refus-
ed to discuss. as he expresses it, "the
great mistake of his life" When asked
about it by newspaper men and others
he always has been courteous, but in
some way no amount of insistence could
get him to tell of his part in the rob-
berry.

Dalton, mot because 1 did not care to

Eight Companies Of Cavalry

Red Mans Idea of Hospitality
May 60 to Extremes.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 4.-Orders have
been received at Army headquarters
in Omaha to dispatch the remaining
two squadrons of the Second United
States cavalry, composed of eight
companies to Thunder Butte, S. D.,
at the earliest possible moment The
command left Fort Des MoineS last
night. Company NJ. Sixteenth cavalry,
under command of Captain Harry F.
Dalton will leave Fort Crook Tues
day or Wednesday for Gettysburg, s..
D., to take charge of the base of sup
plies, which has been established
there for the operations against the
Ute Indians should they make any
troublesome overtures
Colonel Frank West, of the Second
cavalry will be placed. in command of
the expedition on arrival at Thunder
Butte. Major Sibley and the first
Second cavalry are now at Thunder
Butte. Colonel West is an old time
Indian fighter and is said to be thor
oughly competent to handle the sit
uatfon in whatever phase it may de-
velOp. 1t is possible that the base of
operations may be transferred from
Gettysburg, which is the end of the
railway lines to Cheyenne river agen-
cy, Is miles west of Gettysburg on
the west side of the Missouri river.
Company K, Sixteenth infantry left
Fort Crook Saturday afternoon to
garrison Fort Des Moines during the
absence of the Second cavalry in the
field 1t is not known at army head
quarters here why additional troops
have been sent to the Cheyenne river
reservation, but it is thought the idea
is to prevent any portion of the Sioux
tribe from making common cause
with the Utes in their revolt against
authority. The Utes, it is pointed out,
are in a sense the guests of the Sioux
and the Indian idea Of hospitality
might induce some of the younger
Sioux braves to offer aid in resisting
any foFcible measures adopted for the
of disaffected Utes.

Geraldine Farrar VIII Sing No More
in America.

Berlin, Nov. 4.-Geraldine Farrar, the
young American prima donna is report
ed in local newspaper as having an
nounced her intention of turning her
back on America forever. Miss Farrar
is quoted as saying:
AFTER singing in my own country.
and having the opportunity of compar-
ing it with Germany from an artistic
standpoint, I have concluded to remain
and never sing anywhere else. I am an
American, but truth compels me to ad-
NIT that there is no art in the United
States There is only money there.
That is why I came over here. That's
what takes Americans to Europe.
Americans, moreover, are deficient
in artistic appreciation. America pro-
duces talent-that is apparent from the
large number of US singing in Berlin
but in our own country we would be
impossible. Had we sung there nobody
would have known whether We sang
well or badly. Americans are not
Judges of music because they are ut
terly lacking in understanding. Art is
an impossibility in a land of political
corruption. Where money is so much
needed for elections there is none left
to build opera houses. America can
only be advanced to the position of
land of culture by modelling it's sys-
TENS of government after that of Ger
many."

FROM Mr.. ROYCE,
Only Three Banks Affected by
New York FURRY.
These Had Connection With
Bankers Trust Co.

Bank Commissioner John Q. Royce
this afternoon gave out a brief inter-
view in which he touched on the bark
ing situation in the state as affected by
the failure of the Bankers Trust com
pany in Kansas City which closed its
doors on the 26th of last month after
having been refused assistance by the
clearing house association. 1.-The situa-
ton is delicate one,'' said Mr.. Royce
"but it seems to be entirely proper that
something should be said by this de-
partment bearing on the facts in the
case and the conditions as they exist
at this time.
1.-The condition of the Kansas banks
remains much the same as it was be-
fore the financial trouble in New York,
with the exception that three of our
state banks have been forced to close
their doors as result of the failure CT
the Bankers Trust company, of Kan
sas City. Mo. On October 26 the Bank
ers' Trust company, of Kansas City,
Mo-, made application to the clearing
house association, of that city, for as
sistance and was refused and being un-
able to carry their load alone, the doors
of that institution were closed Monday
morning, October %, after being open
onlv 80 minutes that day and low that
institution is in the hands of a receiver
Three banks under this depart
ment, to-wit: The Coyville State
bank, Coyvflle, the Garland State
bank, Garland and the Citizens State
bank, Mulberry, had heavy deposits
with the Bankers Trust company,
which was their Kansas City corre-
spondent. These banks also were car
rying in their assets considerable COM
mercial paper furnished them by the
Bankers Trust company, much of
which. under the circumstances, is
doubtful, If not absolutely bad, and
because of the losses which they must
sustain by reason of the failure of
the Bankers Trust company, these
three banks have been forced to close
their doors and are now in the hands
of this department Application will
be made at once for receivers in these
banks, which is done through the dis
trict court of the county in which the
bank is located. These three banks
were in a perfectly solvent condition
and would be today only for the
losses which they sustained in the
Bankers Trust company, so that their
failure has not been occaSioned by the
general financial condition of the
country but only because of the tying
UP of their funds in the Kansas City

STOCKS GO DOWN.
As the Bank of England's Discount
Rate Goes Up.

London, Nov. 4.-The rise In the Bank
of England's rate of discount, coupled
with the unsatisfactory position in New
York as revealed by the New York bank
statement. caused a depressing effect
all round on the stock exchange today.
Consols dropped 7s and Americans were
offered in many cases at a point below
parity without finding buyers.
The position here, however, Is re-
garded as being very sound. and the de-
clines registered today were more In
the nature Of a sentimental marking
down of quotations than actual SELL
ing The market. in short, regards the
advance of the bank as purely active
measures against Americas gold de-
mand and to prevent the New York
city per cent bonds from being placed
here.

EXPLAINS AWARD OF
THE SHERIDAN CONTRACT
Perkins Says Bids of Pri-

Too High

United States Senator George c. Per-

Moore OF the Moore & Scott Iron Works
in which he makes a statement of con-
siderations that led the War Depart
ment TO finally award the contract for
repairing the United States transport
Sheridan to the Mare Island yard. and
also deals with his own actions in re-

San Francisco. He has also written to

the letter TO Moore is as follows:

The West Extension stocks were

and bought back every share that was
