NOT HOLDING ON TO MONEY
NEW YORK BANKS TRYING TO
SUPPLY THE COUNTRY.
Aiding West and south-eold Import
ed from Europe Well Dis
tributed.

New York.-The leading New York
banks were eXerting themselves ac-
lively Friday to meet the demands-o
their country correspondents and de-
positors for currency. They declare
that the suggestions made from sew
erGl western sources that they are
not meeting legitimate demands for
currency from the west are entirely
dnfounded and that they are, on the
contrary, taking every practicable
measure to aid the west and south.
One of these large banks, with sew
eral thousand correspondents, has de-
pleted it's reserve by about a quarter
during the last few weeks to supply
currency where it is most needed, and
has made large shipments to banks in
San AntcQio, Galveston, Memphis,
Mobile, Atlanta and other southern
points. The country banks have been
allowed to draw down their balances
to Il point which affords in many cases
hardly more than enough to meet the
drafts sold in the ordinary course of
business. They have brought paper
for rediscount to their New York COR
respondents in large amounts and the
principal difficulty of the New York
banks has come from the demand for
currency to be shipped against the
balance created by these rediscounts.
1t is admitted that the cotton move
ment is seriously checked by the lack
of small bills and silver to pay the
small growers and by the inability of
the southern banks to handle the i'm
mense volume of business accumulat-
ing at southern points. The grain
shipments are in better shape, owing
to the gold secured by the banks of
Minneapolis for paying cash in New
York on grain bills.
The stream of surplus gold pouring
into New York has not been halted
here to meet local demands, but is be-
ing allowed to flow through the finan-
cial arteries of the United States and
relieve the needs of agriculture and
other industries generally. Gold i'm
porters state that nearly all of the
81 ,OOO,O0 which has already reached
here will soon find its way to every
quarter of the country.

New Outlook in Chemistry.

AS is well known, the logical process
OF inductivo reasoning based upon
carefully planned experiment is rela-
lively a new manifestation of the
power of the human intellect. The
philosophers OF old imagined, observed
aud reasoned, but neglected expert
mentation; tae artisans, who alone
came into chose contact with realities,
were unable except in the crudest fash
ion 10 generalize concerning their re-
suits. Because Of this separation of
thought and deed, mans knowledge OF
his environment remained for thou
sands Of years in a wholly undcvel-
opcd state. From this dormant coudi-
ton natural science emerged but
slowly, although with steadily incrCas-
ing pace. Little by little, in spite of
occasional pauscs of inactivity, or ap-
parent torgCtfuInCss, human acquaint-
ance with the fundamental laws of the
universe has grown. Each century
has added something to the total, says
the Harvard Graduates Magazine; and
usually each century has added mora
than amy century before. What con-

HITCHCOCK BACK ON STAGE.
He and Wife Weep Whep Audience
Cheers Him.

New York. - Raymond Hitchcock
who gave himself up to the au

role at the Astor theater Wednesday
night and was given a demonstrative
welcome. The actor looked haggard
and i'll, and his voice was uncertain as
he spoke his lines Meantime, his
wife, who plays opposite him, was in
tears and with difficulty followed her
cue.
At the end Of the second act the
comedian stepped to the front of the
stage and in tremulous voice said:
Il want to thank you all for your ap-
plause and encouragement. l hope

Upon Mrs. Hitchcock's second en-

shake her husbands hand. AS they
stood there with hands clasped the
cheers were deafening, and for q mo-

to continue. Then Miss Zabelle placed
her unengaged hand on her husbands
shoulder and kissed him. At this

TRIPLE MURDER
MAY BE SOLVED.
MATTRESS SOAKED WITH BLOOD
AND OTHER SIGNS OF
CHASTITY CRIME
DISCOVERED IN A
RAILWAY HORSE CAR
1t is Thought the Police Will Be
Able To Run To Earth a Gang
of Desperate Thieves and Muir
derers.

South Bend, Ind, Nov. 11.-Through
the accidental discovery of evidence
in a horse car at Buffalo, N. Y, the
police of South Bend believe the mys-
terry surrounding the death of three
men within a week along the Lake
Shore railroad in Northern Indiana
will be solved, and that they will be
able to run to earth gang of desper-
ate murderers. The victims are:
A. w. Murphey, aged 40 years, Colo
rado Springs, Colo, killed at South
Bend.
Ralph Kyle 20 years, Edgerton, O.,
killed near Goshen, Ind.
Henry Rank, aged 60 years, Berrien
county, Michigan killed at La Forte,
Ind.
A mistake in switching a horse car
containing four horse1 into Buffalo in
stead of sending il on to New York
city, its destination, and the subse-
quent discovery that the hroses were
without an attendant, led to an investi-
cation which developed the grewsome
facts.
When the car was forced open the
trainmen found the floor covered with
blood, the mattress which had been
used by the occupant of the car for q
bed soaked with blood, and hammer
which was stained with blood and on
which was bunch of matted hair.
Harry Lewis, live stock superintend.
ent Of the Lake Shore, Immediately
made an investigation, and Learned
that up to the time the car reached
South Bend, A. w. Murphey was in
charge Of it. He then learned from the
local police Of the finding of Murphey's S
body at the Robertson street crossing
OF the Lake Shore.
The mystery of .Kyle's death was
thought solved last Monday, when the
police put Pearl Names, of Chicago,
through a sweating process. The lat
ter acknowledged being with Kyle
when he met his death, and stated that
he fell from the car wnen he attempted
TO catch his hat, which the wind had
blown from his head. This eXplana-
tion however, is doubted.
The third killing occurred at Laport
last Tuesday, when the body of Henry
Rank, of Berrien county Michigan, was
found. At the time it was supposed
that he had been struck by a Lake
Shore train, and the cOroner's verdict
was to that effect

GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE TOWN.
Heroism of Mexican Engineer in Ex.

as a result of the Nacozari explos-

holm, aged 13, who was riding on the
train when the explosion occurred
A train on the narrow gauge rail-
road to the Pilares mine in some way
caught fire. In the train were two
open cars heavily loaded with explos-
ives, and the fact that the concentrator
and good part of the town of Naco-
zari were saved from ruin was due to
the bravery of the Mexican engineer
of the train, Jesus Garcia. Realizing
that to cut out the burning cars and
escape on the engine would expose
the town to probable destruction, he
called to the rest of the crew to iump
and started to run the train awav
from the town. He had taken it about
half mile when the explosion oc
Cured and he was blown to atoms. It
is reported that another member of
the crew stayed with him and was
killed. The heavy death list is due to
the fact that the explosion occurred
just as the train was passing a section
house in which were a number of Sec
tion men.
