Kansas City Oct. 2S.-The state
bank examiner took charge of tho
Bankers Trust company today. which
has capital stock of a half million
and deposits of three-quarters of a
million. The receivership is due to

cipal stockholders, who has been

New York, Oct. 2S.-The feeling
among banking authorities last night
is that united action and wise coun-
sells have already accomplished much
in providing a solution for the finan-
cial problem with which they have
been called on to deal during the
past week. and that with remedial
plans further perfected the promise
is strong for the maintenance of finah
cial stability. The usual Sunday
calm gave the financial leaders oppor-
tunity to ease the tension of over
wrought nerves experienced durins
the week. Most OF them remained at
home throughout the day.
The departure of Secretary Cortel-
you for Washington removed a con-
spicuous figure from the field, but it
was felt that with President Roose-
velt's strong support. as expressed in
his letter made public last night, Mr..
lCortelyou's presence in Washington
was favorable to such further gov
eminent assistance as might be re-
lquired.
At the clearing house there was
much evidence of activity in prepara-
tion for the issuance of loan certin-
Gates. This, however. was contend
to the subordinates, as the loan conf
mittee, which is to pass upon col.
lateral offered for the certificates, did
not hold formal session. Another
evidence Of activity was the small
knot of people gathered at some Of

RUNAWAY Pig GIVES POLICEMAN A CHASE

A little twenty-ive-pound pig that has
a home at III Main street, East Orange,
nosed out a Stat in its pen last night
shortly before 10 o'clock, and, squeezing
through. dashed out from the rear toward
Main street as fast as its little legs could
carry it. The first any one in the house
knew of the escape was when Mr.. Crone,
the owner, heard a familiar grunt and a
splash in the gutter.
Policeman William Van Glider, of East
Orange. stood further below in Main street
when the pig hove into view, making for
the Newark line alongside a speeding troll
ley car. A woman waiting to board the
vehicle saw the pig heading her way and
promptly picked up her skirts. gave a
scream and dashed for shelter. Van Glider
knew not what was happening until he
saw the little object and quickly gave
chase Down the street both flew, but
the wise pig made a sudden turn and
started back toward Greenwood avenue.
The policeman tried to negotiate the same
turn, but he was forced TO make friends
with a billboard TO prevent going down
hard.
Recovering quickly. Van Glider sounded
failure to capture tie pig. Policeman
Gardner, who stood in Main street. near
Greenwood avenue. heard the call, and
knowing the roundsman was not due to
rap at that hour, started down Main street.
He saw spiggie" treading his way and saw
Van Glider at the same time. No explana-
ton needed and an unusual race began.
the pig shot over Greenwood avenue. Both
policemen decided to do the same, but the
hail and rain had made the sidewalk
slippery.

HOTEL BLOWN UP
BOILER NOT THE CAUSE.
IRIS A MYSTERY.
John w. Ashworth, of Bloomfield,
Thinks It May Have Been Dyna-
mite Cartridge.

A mysterious explosion in the cellar OF
John H. Ashworth's hotel. % Orange
street, Bloomfield. at 12;45 yesterday after
noon did about $1,000 damage to the build
ing and contents.
Ii was thought at first that the boiler
in the cellar had exploded, but an inves-
figation today revealed the fact that the
boiler was intact. Mr.. Ashworth said to-
day that he believed the explosion was
caused by a dynamite cartridge which
had in some manner got in the coal box.
The ceilings were knocked down and the
plaster torn from the side walls In a
number Of the rooms. The floor of bar
room was raised, and the back bar was
torn away n hurled over on the front
bar.
Bottles of beer, whiskey and other
LIQUORS were thrown from the shelves ana
closets and broken. The proprietor ana
his family and the other inmates OF the
uiace consisting Of twelve persons, were
much frightened and ran into the street
leaving their belongings behind. Mrs.
Ashworth, who was In the Kitchen az the
time, was thrown to the floor and shghtly
bruised. -
An extension recently built to the rear
of the hotel was blown away seVerai
inches from the main building.
The Bloomfield Fire Department. was
summoned by an alarm from box 81, pu'
had little to do.

FOR NEW GAME LAWS
MORE PROTECTION FOR
owl DESIRED.
State sportsmen Association, Recently
Formed in Montclair, Begins
Campaign.

The Association of New Jersey
Sportsmen for the Protection of Game,
which was organized in Montclair
last month. has started a campaign
in favor of legislation which, If en-
forced, will tend to foster game in this
State. The agitation among the sports
men for more protection and ropo-
cation of game to fill again the de-
pleted woodlands is assuming definite
shape, and at the next session of the
legislature a thorough revision of the
hunting laws will be urged.
George Batten, of South Mountain
avenue, Montclair, president of the as
soeiation above named, has received a
ioglcal survey of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, in which,
among other things he says:
since the passage of the anti-spring
hunting law in Wisconsin there has
been q wonderful increase in the num-
per OF breeding ducks. In the south
miles from the Illinois line, where
spring shooting Is allowed, wood ducks
nave nestled in the past two seasons in
q numbers than for probably
twelve OF fifteen years.
"Blue-winBed teal and mallards have
also greatly increased In numbers, and the
past season young redheads were killed on
the opening day, September l, something
unknown Tor many years, and even rarely
then. A few years ago the wood ducks
We're very scarce in places where they
formerly bred in abundance, but last SUM
Iner and the season preceding they were
actually abundant again, and hundreds OF
young birds were raised on the marshes
and little ponds in Walworth County, an
unusually thickly settled farming country.
On the opening day of 1906, September 1.
over fifty wood ducks were killed on one
little pond, and during the past summer
1 saw between fifty and one hundred
wood ducks on this same pond in August,
and nearly every pond or lake in the
region suitable for ducks supported one or
more families Of young wood ducks be-
sides teals and mallards
"Sportsmen who , have always opposed
the anti-spring shooting law in Wisconsin
on grounds that 1t would be worthless
until Illinois could be induced to pass the
same law. now admit that it is a grand
thing, and are heartily in favor of its
continuance.
Another pleasing feature Of the effect
OF the Law. and an important one, is the
increase In the number of other water
fowl which breed on these same marshes
and lakes. owing to the fact hat they are
not disturbed by gunners in April"

BLAMES TROUBLE ON NO
RELIGION IN SCHOOLS.
irwin gton Pastor Gives His Views on
Financial Situation and Praises
President Roosevelt.

In a Thanksgiving and patriotic sermon
preached before the members of Irving
ton Council, Jr. o. u. A. NJ, last night.
the Rev. Uriah McClinchie. pastor Of the
First Reformed Church. of I%rvington, at
trlbuted the present state of finance to
the failure of the public school to incul-
cate the fundamental principles of religion
and a corresponding deterioration in the
standards OF those who have attained
high position In life today. People are to
be thankful. he said, that matters are
Strengthening themselves out as quietly
as they are. In part, he said:
one cahs for thanksgiving Is the
demonstration by current events Of a
fundarner tai principle of our order. We
insist that the Bible shall be read In our
public schools. That principle Is but a
declaration of our belief In the necessity
OF religious instruction such as repre-
sented by the Bible. We believe in teach
ing to the rising generation the funda-
mentals Of re~lision-those unities acknowi-
edged by almost every religious
ton. Inc crisis that Is now with us Is
due to the fact that such instruo-
ton has been neglected In our training OF
our children. There have been contribu-
tory causes of course, but a widespread
dlstrust, due to suspicion of the integrity
of the character of our neighbors, has
been h paramount cause of the present
situation.
mol will confidence be restored and
normal conditions reestablished until con-
hdence in the Integrity and upr1ghtneSS
of u n%elghbors and trustees be restored.
Our whole difficulty lies in our failure to
develop a type of character commensurate
with the new powers and opportunities
given Though our increase of physical
strength. When we earnestly address our
selves to this task of training character
through the will and heart as well as the
mind this condition OF distrust and sus-
picion will speedily disappear.
Another cause for Thanksgiving Is the
courage with which those In national
power headed by the President, are expos
ing the dry rot of our national life. There
has been a strong disposition to ~criticise
savagely those who have been responsible
for turning IN the light. But those who
make such criticism forget the fact that
until the Inauguration Of the present cam
paign against criminal wealth, social dis
content had been increasing with alarming
~rapidity. Those who knew the situation
best feared the results IL some adequate
means were not taken to turn the tide.
The volume and intensity of this discon-
tent has been very materially diminished
by the determination to punish the wrong
doer, no matter what his position. And we
can be truly thankful that the hour OF re-
adjustment promises to entail so little sac
rifice as it is now doing"
The church was decorated with, fiags and
the hymns were appropriate to the oc-

BEIIEv1LIE PASTOR ON THANKS

Thankful Thanks" was the theme OF
the Rev. c. r. Scudder in his sermon
in the Wesley NJ. e. Church, Belleville.
last night. Reciting the causes for thanks
giving, the pastor went into the origIn
OF the word ~'thanks.'' and showed that
as the word is used in everyday life there
is a great deal Of insincerity about 1t.
1t is comparatively easy to say thank
you said Mr.. Scudder. but it is quite an
other matter to be always thankful. II
will help us, | think. If we let our minds
dwell upon the fact that all we have
comes from God, and then note what the
Divine blessings are. Some come to us
direct. such as the air: the sun, the rain;
the love OF God expressed in the inner
love, and the outward providence. There
are others that come to us from Goo by
way OF man. Our clothes aud food are
from the earth, and so also with the
Bible, the church, the blessings of home
and social relations. How the feeling Of
appreciation grows as we contemplated
Imag CINE yourself a Robinson Crusoe cast
upon some lonely island, with all the
knowledge of a Christian civilization, but
with all Its benefits absent. Then, / fancy,
the blessings that we receive
without thought would make the heart
pound with praise. Then indeed will we
have a thankful thanksgiving.
