Consider Speech an Insult.

Practically all those present agreed
that the speech was an insult, and the
motion carried with out a single dis
sent although there was some slight
objection made by one member before
a vote was taken. Mr.. Cuileen assured
him that he fully believed the Commis-
siOner's remarks were directed to the
Southeast Washington Association and
asked that Il be made clear on the
minutes that the association had not
asked for the sum stated, but. on the
contrary, had asked for a very reason
able sum.

Discuss Navy Yard Grade.
There was a heated discussion over
the recommendation OF the executive
committee that the association request
that exemption from the grade-crossing z
act be granted temporarily in the case
OF the Pennsylvania railroad switch en-
tering the Washington Navy Yard.
It was suggested by some members
that officials Of the navy were doing
their best TO obtain ground on the water
front 10 bring the tracks in from the
east. and expected an appropriation from
the coming session Of Congress, and
that Il would retard work and cause a
layoff of men II the tracks were taken
up April !, as provided in the law. be-
fore new tracks were run in This was
vigorously combated, however.
After a long discussion. the association
resolved that the officials and the rail-
road be requested 10 take up the tracks
as soon as possible without interference
with ordnance work, and the deposit
given by the railroad companies as bond
for compliance with the law be with
held until another entrance TO the Navy
Yard had been secured.

Aliens Flock To Europe.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-In one Of his
speeches, years ago, President Ben
iamin Harrison said that "the gates
of Castle Garden always opened in.
ward, never outward" Times have
changed, however, for now the outgo
of foreign laborers back to Europe,
owing to the shutting down of indus
tries since the financial stringeucy,
has reached such proportions that
the steamship companies are hard
pressed to furnish accommod alton for
them.
Hundreds of the foreigners have
been compelled TO wait until next week
because berths could not be found for
them. This week all the big transat-
lantic lines raised the steerage rates
from S2l to $32, but still the demand
for tickets has increased.
A representive OF the steerage de-
partment of the Hamburg American
lines said that from Nsw York alone
the number of foreigners departing
weekly was $4,000 and that $4,000, ,OOO
was being taken away weekly by those
returning immigrants, either in cash
or in drafts on foreign countries.

Big Profits of Great Northern.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The annual
report OF the Great Northern for the

That would amount to from IA! to l5

WANT GOVERNMENT BONDS
Owners Of Hoarded Money Will Make
Safe investment.

New YORK, Nov. 20.-The govern.
ment's issue of 800, ,0oO, 900 in treas.
ury certificates of indebtedness con.
tinued today to engross the attention
OF New York bankers, who apparently
have not reached q definite decision
as to the course they shall pursue.
The subscriptions 90 far received at
the local sub-treasury seem to indicate
that the larger banks in this city are
temporarily Withholding their offers
OF purchases. The sub.treasury Off.
cials are not disposed to make public
the amount of subscriptions received
there during the past few days, saying
that they are merely acting as trans.
mitting agents for the treasury de.
partment at Washington, to which
point the offers are being forwarded
as fast as they come in.
Some of the New York banks are
said to be holding of in the matter of
subscriptions, so as to give the small
investors, with boarded savings, a
chance to put in their claims and thus
draw into circulation money, for which
the certificates were largely designed.
Nearly all of the larger banks here
have received orders from customers
to make purchases of certificates for
their accounts.

Claims Indians We're Robbed.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 22.--Sena ator
Charles S. Curtis, who is here on his
recent investig alton of alleged frauds
against the Texas, Oklahoma and Ari.
zona Indians, said last night:
"The kickapoo Indians in Okla.
homa have been robbed of between
$3.50, 900 and 100000 worth of al
estate. The parties who did the rob-
bing never have claimed to have paid
more than $4,000 for this land, and
as a matter of fact the Indians never
received more than $4,000 for it.
The money-what little there was Of
twas deposited in banks for the
Indians and through forgery and
various other methods it was drawn
out by the people who ostensibly paid
it to the Ind ains.'

Millions For Grain Crops.

PORTLAND, Nov. 22.-Assurances
were given to the grain exporters by
the Hartman system today that 1000
cars would be devoted to the trans.
portation of the wheat crop of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho to the tide.
water from now until the entire crop
has been moved. This is the solution
of the problem which local bankers
and wheat dealers have been striving
to solve for weeks past, for with the
movement of wheat it is expected that
millions of dollars of gold will be
sent to Portland and the Pacific north
whest. There has been for many weeks
something like $50, ,OOO,OOO tied up in
weat. That is, the banks have ad.
vanced the money to the exporters
who have bought the wheat and paid
for it in money, giving the banks
warehouse receipts, bills of lading,
etc, as collateral security. As soon
as this wheat is delivered at tidewater
and shipped, the bills of lading can
be exchanged for gold in London,
New \ 1ork and San Francisco. This
is expected to have an almost immed-
late effect GU the money famine so far
as the Pacific northwest is concerned,
and it is believed that the first Of Feb
ary, at the outside, normal cOndi-
tionS will prevail.

Adams Jury Disagreed.

RATHDRUM, Idaho, Nov. 25.-The
jury in the Steve Adams case yester-
day afternoon reported that it was
unable to agree on . verdict as to the
guilt of Adams on the charge of the
murder of Fred Tyler, and at 5:45
O'Clock the jury was discharged. The
attorneys for both sides saw that it
was useless to hold the twelve men
together longer and they agreed with
the court to the discharge.
Adams was admitted to bail this
morning in the cum of $4,000. At.
torney Darrow announced the bond
would be provided within few days.
It is expected that as soon as Adams
is released on this bond he will be
rearrested on a warrant charging him
with the murder of Arthur Collins a,
Telluride, Colo, in 1902.
Sheriff Bailey of Shoshone county
is here with warrant for the arres,
of Adams on the charge of numbering
Ed. Boule, near the same place and
at about the same time the Tyler muir
der occurred.

Teddy Bear Makers Strike.

New YORK, Nov. 90 The Teddy
Bear Makers union, the latest on the
list of labor org ganizations, has decid-
ed to make a demand for the closed
shop in the Teddy bear trade, now
that Christmas is coming on. They
started with the firm of Michton & Co.,
which has a factory in Brooklyn.
The company began to hire strike
bre akers, but the trade being com.
paratively new one, according to the
strikers, they could not get enough
competent men. According to the
union it requires workmen of an
artistic temperament to make Teddy
bears with the half-human expression
on their faces that they are supposed
to wear, and the strike bre eakers missed
the expression.

extension of the Chicago, milwaukee
& st. Paul road already have had
their wages reduced 25 cents a day,
and have been notified OF further re.
ducton of 25 cents day on December
l. These reductions are the result of
laying of men by western roads, by
mining companies and by other in.

Der of men seeking employments has

TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS.
Bryan Proposes Government Guar
antee Against Loss.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-William
J. Bryan arrived yesterday and at.
tended the wedding of the daughter OF
q friend, Cutter P. Bride. To report.
ers Mr.. Bryan said:
"The administr alton is prepared,
we are informed, to recommend pos.
tai savings bank. While this would
doubtless encourage deposits. and
while those deposits could, in turn,
be handed over to the banks, it does
not furnish complete relief, because
the plan, as presented, limits deposits
and does not contemplate the opening
of circul ating accounts. The business
community, therefore, cannot use the
postal savings banks to any great
extent; and besides, it would take
some time to inaugurate a postal saw.
ings system and secure the necess ary
number of employees to make the plan
effective throughout the country.
II believe i. is possible for the gov
crnment to give immediate relief by
an act of congress providing for the
guarantee by the government of all
deposits in all national banks, the
banks thus guaranteed to reimburse
the government for any losses in.
Cured and to make this reimburse
ment in proportion to their deposits.
SIT is probable that all national
banks would be willing to take ad-
vantage of this guarantee, because the
additional security given to their de-
posits would be of great advantage to
the banks.
"During 40 years the average an.
nual loss to depositors has been
small, less than one-tenth of one per
cent: so small that it would be an in.
significant tax upon four or five bill

ment would have ample security ir

A Sensational Murder Trial.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-That Mrs.
Bradley did not come to Washington
with any intention of killing former
Senator Arthur Brown of Utah and
that she did not even remember shoot
ing him, she told the jury in her trial
today. The statement was not reached
until the afternoon session of court,
the first half of the day being given
largely to the identification of letters
from Mr.. Brown to Mrs. Bradley and
from her to him, very few of which
were read.
The real tragedy formed the subject
of the afternoon session. At that time
Judge Powers brought out the full
statement in his examin alton in chief.
This consumed only a few minutes,
and as soon as he concluded District
Attorney Baker entered upon his
cross-examin alton. He devoted COM
paratively little attention to the
shooting itself, but, going back to the
early days of the relationship between
Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley
sought to show by reading letters and
questioning the witness, that she had
deliberately undertaken to break up
Senator's Browns home and that she
was at enmity with Mrs. Brown as
early as 1901. He also brought out
the fact that Mrs. Bradley and Mrs.
Brown had originally been strong
friends and that this friendship even
extended beyond the time OF the birth
of Mrs. Bradley's first child by
Brown.

Canadian Farmers Lose..Money.

MONTREAL, Nov. 24.-It is semi
officially announced that the frozen
wheat, which will be classed as feed
wheat in Canada Northwest this year,
will amount to 20, 600, 900 bushels. In
dividual estimates of grain men sug-
gest that this figure is much too con.
servative, as they indicate that the
total will reach 25,0O0,OO0 bushels,
and probably may exceed that amount.
From Indian Head and otherl points
come statements that for much of this
wheat only 2l(022c q bushel is obtain.
BILE. With an average crop of l6
bushels to the acre it is ruiuous for
the farmer to have to sellifrozen wheat
at such prices.

SAVE NATURAL RESOURCES.
President Calls Conference Of Al
Governors and Congressman.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-President
Roosevelt has invited the governors
of all the states and territories to meet
him at the White House on May 13, IA
and Is next, to discuss the question of
means to conserve the natural resour-
ces of the country. Invitations also
are to be extended to the members Of
both houses of congress and to the in
land waterways commission. The
Importance and manner in which the
subject is to be considered are indicat-
ed in the Presidents letter to the
governors, which was made public at
the White House yesterday. The
letter says:
Recently I declared there is no
other question now before the nation
of equal gravity with the question of
the conservatio of our natural re-
sources, and l added that it is the
plain duty of those of US who, for the
moment, are responsible to take in
ventory of the natural resources which
have been handed down to US, to fore
cast the needs of the future and so
handle the great resources of our
country as not to destroy in ad'
vance all hope of the prosperity of
our descenpants.
1t is evident the abundant natura al
resources on which the welfare of this
nation rests are becoming depleted,
and in not few cases. are almost ex.
hausted. This is true of all portions
of the Uuited States. 1t is especially
true of the longer settled communities
of the east. The gravity of the situa.
ton must, l believe, appeal with
special force to the governors of the
states, because of their close relations
to the people and the responsibility
for the welfare of their communities.

The bodies were found huddled to-

the flames which rushed up from the

could reach windows which led to fire
escapes. Some had been enveloped
in the flames and burned alive.
Others, overcome by smoke, were

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-That the

ness was by most made the basis for
this statement. The banks, it is said,
are enabled, because of the enormous
importations of gold, to take up most
of this, and thereby increase the bank

Bankers also state that they do not
believe there will be any further ex.
