CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Balloon
No, 5, the United States, plotted by
Major Hershey, and at least one
other, and possibly two, of the en-
tries in the international race in the
air, are now out over Lake Michigan,
the one great peril the aeronautS
dreaded. The other one or two air
crafts are supposed also to be
manned by Americans.
The cause for the confusion on
whether there are two of three over
the lake is the fact that two were
seen at Gray'S Lake, eighteen miles
from WaHkegan, at Cos this morn
ing, and Major HerShey'S craft at
Zion City at $50. But when the
United States was seen it had no
companion. This would indicate
three balloons.
Reports received up to o'clock
this morning indicated that the bal
looms were sailing in two general
directions. One division was across
Illinois, having been reported at
Pana, Matteon, Charleston. Efing-
ham and Paris, the last named town
being near the Indiana line.
Another division. including at
least two balloons, was travelling
northerly, These, probably the
American crafts, were sailing so
close TO the ground that the occu-
pants of the baskets could be heard

RUMOR ATTACKS TRUST COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
The Washington times., 1907-10-22

trlet that the Trust Company Of
North America Was aIso-in diff
entity.
Chairman John E. Borne, Of the
directorate, was highly indignant at
the rumor and declared it to be a
Iibelously malicious statement. The
Trust Company, he asserted, has
had no relations whatsoever with
Charles W. Morse or any Of the
persons who have been named as
being responsible for the present
upheaYal in banking circles.
Expect to Resume Paying.
An official statement regarding the
condition Of the Knickerbocker win be
issued soon. according TO the officers.
They are now in consultation with lead
ing financial interests with a view 10
resuming payments. All trust compa-
MES in the city have been asked TO come
to the aid Of the Knickerbocher, in
order that the payments may be re-
sumed throughout the day.
Examiner h w HUtchins, OF the state
Banking Department said that ne made
a hasty examination Of the accounts OF
the Knickerbocker Trust Company this
morning. and he emphauca1y declares
the books to show the institution to be
absolutely solvent.
At 1:20 p. N. the money market was
still in a highly chaotic state. with the
quotations for call funds fuctuating
from 30 to IS per cent, and but little
available al that figure.
Sensational Triple Run.
A sensational triple run was made on
the main and branch offices OF the
Knickerbocker Trust Company when the
dOors of that institution. from which
Charles T. Barney resigned as presi-
dent last night, were opened for busi-
ness today.
Despite the fact that $4,000 COO in cash
was exposed 10 the view of depositors
at IS Broadway, and enormous sums
were rushed in heavily guarded autorlo-
biles to the Harlem and Bronx branches,
it was impossible for a time to check
the run or even partially restore conf

We hear a great deal about the

independence and losing her femin-
Unity. A great many people are much
alarmed because girls are not trained,
as formerly, in womanly gentleness.
Itis a beautiful figure of speech
to describe the femme character as
the ivy which clings to the masculine
oak for support and in return covers
and beauties its hideous knots and
scars.
But. If the oak falls, what becomes
of the ivy?
There is too much of this ivy cling
ing and beautifying idea in training
girls. They should be taught that it
is just as necessary to be independ-
ent, to be self-supporting, as to be
able to cling and beautify. In other
words, they ought to be able to
stand alone if the tree falls. and not
