The affair is a mystery. d. G. 5. Boyle,

he admitted that something is wrong"
but beyond this he would say nothing.

GOTHAM BANK CLOSES
BIG KNIcKERsocKER TRUST
COMPANY IN TROUBLE.
After Run Exhausts sS,oOO.o0O Re-
serve, Directors Order Doors
Closed - stock Exchange Firm
Fails for S6,00O,oO0.

During Il day bordering on wide
spread financial panic, New York Tues
day witnessed the suspension of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company, the sec
ond largest in the country, with de
posits aggregating more than $4,000
600; the failure of the stock broker
age firm of Mayer & Co, whose liza
bilities are estimated AT S6.0o0,0 600, and
the serious embarrassment of six banks
and another trust company.
The resignation OF Charles T. Bar
ney, president of the Knickerbocker
Trust Company. precipitated a run on
the four branches of the bank in the
morning The directors announced
that they had plenty of money to meet
all dep6sitors, but the rush grew SO
heavy that at noon, after a conference,
it was decided to close the bank tenn
porarily.
The days events included the sus-
pension temporarily. and possibly for
some time, of the Knickerbocller Trust
Company, concern with S63, 100000 of
deposits: frantic selling at panic prices
of shares on the stock exchange; the
rise of call money to 30 per cent: a
S6,0O0O00 brokerage failure: and the
circulation of sinister rumors as to the
standing of men and banks whose
credit has hitherto been unasSailed.
Credit, the bulwark and support of all
business, was shaken to its foundation.
and the general banking situation be-
came so grave that the Federal govern
ment was forced to act. The entire
financial machinery of the government
was set to work to prevent widespread
ing financial trouble.
Immediately after the suspension of
the knickerbocker Trust, William
Turnbull, fourth vice president of the
company, issued for publication a
scathlng statement i'll which he accused
man, supposed to be President Roose-
Welt, of indirectly causing the crash
by destroying the confidence of the
people in the credit system.
President Roosevelt, in speech at
NASHVILLE, Tenn, denied responsibility
Tor recent financial developments and
uneaSiHess. He defined his policy as
an effort to punish successful dishon-
esty, and declared that for the remain
ing sixteen months of his term this
policy shall be DerSeyerad i'm ,,nSv-arv

SINK ORIENTALLINER
UNKNOWN ENEMIES CAUSE
GREAT DAMAGE.
Wharf in Vancouver, b. c. for I'm
sxplaind Reason-Head of Farm
ers' Organization Is Ousted.

The Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany's oriental liner Empress of China
sank Wednesday night alongside her dock
at Vancouver. B. G. Her seacocks must
have been opened, but how no one seems
able to ascertain. Her main deck on the
port side is awash with several feet Of
water. The vessel keeled over on her
port side so that the main deck is at an
angle of about 45 degrees. Her engines
and dynamos are under water. She ID
resting On a mud bottom, but the problem
in saving her will be that of righting the
vessel and preventing her from turning
turtle. Early in the evening the steward
noticed that the water was coming in over
the lower deck. All day the liner had
been loading -four, 500 or 600 tons of
which is being turned into paste in the
hold. The steward gave the alarm, and
the officers, who were at dinner, hurried
to their stations. All hands manned the
pumps, but it was too late to save the
Empress from sinking, and everyone went
ashore. BY s o'clock the port stern was
resting on the bottom of the barbor, the
tops of the masts leaning over the wharf
and extending to the gables Of the large
freight sheds. The starboard side of the
main deck is still about ten feet above
water. The steamer is valued approx
mately at S1,OOO,OOO. She is 4S3 feet
long and was built in 1891 in England.
She was booked to sail for the Orient
Thursday and would have carried the
British mails for Hongkong, for which the
line received large subsidy from the
imperial government.

BALLOONS IN RACE.
FOUR GREAT NATIONS VIE IN
AERIAL CONTEST.
Nine Teams of Leading Countries of
the World Race Amid the Clouds
at the International Airship Con-
test at st. Louis.

Nine mammoth balloons, represent
ing four of the great nations Of the
world, started at ST Louis Monday
afternoon on voyage which was ex-
pected to add an important chapter to
the history of aerial navigation.
The contest was known officially as
the second International aeronautic
cup race, and the prize, a massive sill
yer trophy and $500 in cash, was to
be awarded to the pilot whose skill
and daring should land his car farthest
from the starting point. AS the bal
looms were of similar design and ma
terial the race would go to the French.

best advantage of favorable winds and
who lost the least ground under ad-

The race marked the entrance of the
United States into competition with
the European nations in field which
had been left almost exclusively to
them in the past 1t was through the
winning of the cup last year in a race
from Paris by Lieutenant Frank z.

the contest was brought to this coun-

Trade, crop and industrial reports are
rather more irregular. Interest as to dis
trlbutive trade has now largely passed
from the wholesale and jobbing branches
to retail trade, the development and pro-
portions of which will be closely scrutin-
lied from now on. So far the reports as
to this line are conflicting, being best i'm
parts of the Northwest, Southwest and
South, and relatively slackest at the East,
which needs sharp, cold weather for best
activities. Jobbing business is fair as u
whole, it being noted that house trade is
very quiet, while filling-in orders vary
with sections reporting. The money
stringency is an additional feature which
attracts attention, affecting as it does the

GARY SWEPT BY FLAMES.
Bucket Brigade Fights Fire in Indi-
ana Steel Town.


Fought by nearly the entire male popu-
lation, a fire which ragged all of Tuesday
cut big swath into the business portion
of the little town of Gary, Ind. Damage
to the extent of $4,000 resulted and
seven of the forty buildings of the town
were totally destroyed. The fire was
fought in novel fashion. Because of the
lack of either a fire department or water
system the fire was combated by almost
5000 men. Primitive methods were re-
sorted to. Bucket brigades were quickly
formed and pressed into service. Others
tore down portions of adjacent buildings,
removing all food for the flames. y gaso-
line explosion in the boarding house of
Gondalpho Dinadela, an Italian, started
the fire at 6 80 in the morning. There
was little wind, and its spread was fought
fairly successfully The flames exploded
a revolver in Frank Hubinger's restau-
rant, shooting Robert Baker, a bricklay-
er, in the leg. There were no other seri-
Gus injuries or deaths. John A. Colosimo,
confectiOner; A. Colbert, general store
keeper, and A. G. Huber, real estate deal
er, were among those whose buildings
were destroyed.
