Pathetic Story Of the Death Of Old
Man at Chicago,

CHICAGO. H.. October IA gray
haired maker Of ban5os died In tho Olym-
pic Theater while the music Of "Don't
You Remember Sweet Alice. Ben Bolt ?"
strummed on the stage on instruments of
his own make Gained the large audience
which had been thrown into semi-panic
J. B. Schall. ffty-flve years old, occupied
a front seat In the lower balcony. He
had visited the theater especially to hear
the playing Of two musical specialists
who used banjos which had been turned
out by his own hands. Suddenly SchalI
rose in his seat with a choking cry, sway
ed for moment as II he would topple
over the balcony railing into the crowded
parquet. and then crumpled down on the
floor.
Instantly intense excitement prevailed
Schall's collapse was witnessed by three
fourths of the people in the house. Sew
eral women near him screamed Ushers
and attendants hurried to him. and car
ried him to the foyer. where they laid
him on the carpeted floor and attempted
to restore consciousness
The two players upon the stage had
reached a pause In their music at "Spe-
cialties." Looking across the footlights
they saw the man collapse. and realized
the danger OF panic In the packed house
At once they plunged into a wild medley
Of music to quiet the alarm of the audi
ence. Their efforts were successful
While the musicians played merry airs the
audience listened in attentive silence, un-
aware a man was dying behind the last
tier of balcony seats.
Once Schal came to his senses He
opened his eyes, and said II think can
go home now" Just then the banjos or
the stage struck up Don't You Remem-
Der Sweet Alice. Ben Bolt?" AS the las,
bars Of the old tune ceased and the audi.
ence burst into tumultuous applause the
old musician died.
Schall had lived alone over his banjo
shop. He left two grown sons, who live In
New York.

which the American appraisers valuation
was far higher than the declared export

to the hurried nature of its operations the

H1NDus DRIVEN TO AND FRO.
Denied Welcome to This Unfriendly
Shore by British Columbians.

SPAKANE, Wash. October Driven
back and forth from pillar to post across
the Canadian boundary. first into the
state OF Washington and then back into
British Columbia, the several thousand
Hindus dumped upon this unfriendly
shore are objects OF pity as they wander
about seeking employment to earn enough
to keep body and soul together.
When driven out Of Bellingham and
other Puget sound towns the band of Hin
dus thought they might take refuge in
British Columbia, but they have found no
permanent haven there. The government
is said to be secretly turning them back
into the United States. The present plan
seems to be to send the foreigners east
over the Canadian Pacific road to different
points north Of here. and then run them
across the line into Washington. Idaho
and Montana.
The first party of Hindus landed in Spo-
kane about two weeks ago. and every day
or two since then new recruits have been
added, until now the colony Is about 300
strong. How they reach here Is a mys-
terry, but it Is supposed they are shut up
in empty box cars and smuggled across
the border
Chief of Police Rice says the manner of
the Hindus' coming Is a mystery, and. as
none has been found who can speak a
word OF English, nothing can be cleaned
from them.
Where the Hindus live here Is also I'M
known to the police. 1t Is known they
stop at no lodging house in Spokane. They
are seen wandering aimlessly about the
streets every day, and nobody seems in
clined to give them employment. though
they will work for anything offered them.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company employed several Of the Hindus
on section work. but soon discharged
them. declaring they were worthless for
that purpose.
Until he finds the Hindus committing an
mira ction Of the law Chief Rise says he
least. With the coming OF winter II b be-
lieved they wiz become a public charge.
