BOWEN RESCUES
CAPTIVE MAIDS
Gallant Fireman Takes Four
Imprisoned StenOgrapherS
Down Ladder.
CROWD MUCH INTERESTED
DUE TO HURRIED CLOSING OF
STUDEBAKER STORE.

Passers in State street, between First
and Second South streets, last night
about $50 o'clock witnessed the thrill
ing rescue of four pretty stenographers
from the building of the Studebaker
Bros Co., 157 South State street. AS
the young ladies had to descend a lad
der there was an incidental glimpse ct
snowy lingerie and twinkling feet.
1t all came about because of some
body's hurry in locking uD the store.
At 6 o'clock four stenographers re
tired to the dressing room to put on
their hats straight and otherwise pre-
pare themselves for the homeward
walk. This must have taken some time,
for when they emerged from the dress
ing room they found the front door
locked. Growing excited. they searched
for some exit from the building. They
could find none.
"Oh, dear me. oh dear, what are we
going to do?" gasped Miss Clara Jacox.
Miss May Biddell was too badly fright
ened to reply.

Jennie Bitson, who had been longer
in the employ of the Studebakers, held
a consultation. 1t was decided to call
up police headquarters and ask for
reScuers.
All rushed to the telephone and the
awful story of their Imprisonment was
soon told in the ear of the sympa
thetic desk sergeant. The police got
into communication with the fire de-
partment and asked that a heroic fire
fighter be detailed to rescue the fair
maids in distress.
Fireman Joe Bowen was detailed for
the task. He marched forth, bearing a
tWenty-foot ladder upon his shoulder,
and was followed by the envying
glanceS OF his mates at fire headqUar-
ters.
BY the time he reached the Stude-
baker building the four stenOgraphers
had opened a window on the upper
floor and were gazing out, watching
for the rescue party. Persons in the
street, seeing the anxious faces of the
girls, clustered about the door.
Fixing the ladder against the wall,
Fireman Bowen assembled and invited
the young ladies' to descend. They
didn't want TO go out that way. They
thought it would be ever so much nicer
to have the door opened.
1t took much peTsuading to induce
them to hazard the ladder, but at last
they were brought safely to the side
walk by the heroic fireman. But they
were no sooner safe upon the pavement
than they fed hOmeward, blushing.
Miss BitsOh, one Of the rescued girls,
is the daughter of Mrs. Joseph Watson,
formerly of Murray, but now pro-
prietress Of the Bell bakery at 81 East

JUNKETERS BACK
FROM CANAL ZONE
Result of the Visit Will Be a
Cut in Next Appropriation
of at Least One Million.

New York, Nov. 20.-Eighteen MEM
bers Of the committee on appropriations
of the national house of representatives
who have been on tour of inspection
of the Panama canal zone returned
home today on the steamer Colon.
Chairman Tawney of the committee
said the committee found everything
on the canal progressing in a most
satisfactory way He believed. how
ever, that, as a result of the inspec-
ton, the appropriate nfor the coming
year will be at least S1,O00,O00 less than
the s32, 900, 900 asked for by the estimate.
Employees Well Paid.
I'VE visited the canal" said Mr..
Tawney, spent three days in the ex-
animation of the mechanical and en-
cheering work, inspected the quarters,
the hospitals and looked into every
thing in connection with the service
in the zone We found that the EN-
ployes were paid fully 30 per cent more
than at home At the same time the
government furnishes quarters for
them, room for a single man and
house for the married men. We looked
into their sanitary conditions and find
them everything that could be desired.
The work is progressing satisfactorily.
Estimates Too High.
'"The estimates for the fiscal year
under consideration amount to 1872, Co.,
900, and, of course. no statement can
be given out as to what action the
committee will take, because no meet
ing or discussion has been held, nor
can action be taken until the appoint
ment of the new committee after the
converting of the next congress. How
ever, it is expected that the appropria-
ton will probably be over million
less than asked for"

Would Be Willing to Withdraw.

Those banks which have been urged
by the secretary to take out circula-
ton in order to relieve the present sit
uatiOn, without regard to the profit,
would, it is believed, be found ready TO
surrender their recent issues as rapid
ly as they were received for redemp-
ton. This would not interfere with
their holding the 3-per-cent certificates
as an investment until their maturity
a year hence.
In the absence of Comptroller Ridge

examiners and others regarding the

Redempticns Are Slow.


Such TedemptiOns are rather SLOW Un-
der the national banking system as at
present organized, but usually approx
innate about 90 per cent of the Total
bank circulation in the course of a
year. A national bank, therefore, find
ing its circulation redundant, would be
able. by directing the cancellation of
all notes redeemed. to gradually get rid
of a considerable portion in the course
Of a number of months. With these
two provisions in operation, therefore
the ability to retire all notes issued
against the one-year certificates at the
maturity of the latter and the ability
to ~radually wipe out notes redeemed,
which are issued against lOng-term
bonds, 1t is believed that no bank need
be deferred from taking cut additional
circulation at the present time by the
fear that it will have left on its hands
an unweildy note liability after the
demand for notes has diminished.

Advantage Over Bonds.

AS all the one-year certificates Will
be called for redemption at the expira
ton of the term fixed by law. the notes
issued against them will fall entirely
outside the provision fixing a limit Ct
S9,000,000 per month. In this respect
the shoIt-term certificates will have an
advantage over the Panama bonds.
There is another method, however, by
which the banks can gradually curtail
their circulation outstanding without
regard to the legal limit. This methO /
is not entirely in their control, since L
is governed by the amount of the notes
of each bank presented to the treasury
for redemption. When notes are thus
redeemed they are paid by the treasury
in lawful money from the current Ie-
demption fund which each bank is 1e-
quired to maintain 20 the amount Of 3
per cent of it's circulation. 1t is Oh
tional with the bank whether to restore
the redemption fund and receive its
notes back or permit them to be can
cele3 and retired. This process only
becomes operative, however. u the
amount of notes presented for redemp-
ton.

press a portion of the human race?
Thus portrayed, it is as .dung-hill
to diamond to compare the alleged
principles of the Van Cleave outfit
to the accomplishments and aspira-
tions Of our great labor movement.
To recount the thousand and one re-
forms, the latter has accomplished,
would take too much space. 1t will
suffice to say that, if Van Cleave
raises the fund he asked for, and uses
it for the purpose intended, trade
unionism will increase it's activity
four-fold. If anything will spur the
average toiler into wholesome protec-
ton of his interests, it is applying
the goad; therefore, unfair employers
will find us routing oppression here,
closing a sweat-shop there, again,
through the logic Of events, securing
new anti-child labor laws, betimes
successfully placing on the statute
books of state an act for free and
compulsory education and anon re-
ducing the working hours of those
who toll more than eight in twenty
four, with the sure concomitant of
an increase Of pay.

Jerome Jones, Organizer, American
Federation of Labor.

In raising a fund of million and
a half of dollars to fight organized
labor the National Association of
Manufacturers has taken the wrong
course. Cooperation, not hostility,
is the wise policy. Organized labor is
as much logical product of modern
industrial conditions as organized
capital. If one is bad, so is the other.
If one is to be fought so is the other.
But both have their good points
and both are here to stay.
The world must make the best of
this condition Of human progress
and deal fairly all around. Let us
take for granted that Mr.. Van
Cleave is fair and honest employer,
and Is always willing to grant to his
men an increase Of wages in proper
tion as his business prosperS or
cost Of living advances. Does Mr..
Van Cleave believe that such spi
is prevalent among the employing
classes generally in this day and time?
Do not the material facts bear
out just the reverse of such a spir-
it? And then we do not attribute
to the employing class a greater spir-
it Of avarice than is found in man
kind generally.
But what can Mr.. Van Cleave hope
to attain that will be beneficial To
the country if his policy is carried
to conclusionq
We take it that these men are pa
triotic citizens-at least we so cred
it them-and that it is not their pur-
pose to plunge this country into
state of anarchy.
Labor organizations are the natur-
al outgrowth of the present economic
system. The working people seek or
ganization just as naturally as the
wild horses Of the plains go in groups
and form circle for their protection
and that Of their young.
Labor unions are founded on law
and order and the highest attributes
