wider absorption of light weight apparel,

Late buyers have found the reduction
of stocks better than was expected and

Mail orders from road men make an inn

leather, and wool displays increasing con-
sumption.
Mercantile collections in the West and
Southwest make good showing, bank de-
posits steadily grow and further ease APP

dation. Financial conditions do not in
dictate that liquidation has run its course.
but commercial defaults include none of
notable significance, and the volume of
payments through the banks agaip is seen
TO compare favorably with that of a year
ago.
Operations in the prominent manufac-
lures present no matera! change as TO

real estate and construction. Shipments
of lumber have gained and more hands

the skill of a veteran cracksman in the

Harold NJ. Finley, in a report for the
Federation. the organ of the Federation
of Churches. gives the result of his study
of the eongested sections of New York.
There he says one may find now more
than seventy-five blocks having a density
of population of over 1000 people to the
acre. In 1905, 500 blocks had popula-
ton of 1000 souls each. 1856 had 1000
population, 46 over 1900, 3 over 1000,
with over 1000, and one other with ex-
actly GLIB. This last is the negro block
on the upper West Side, bounded by
Amsterdam and West End avenues and
Sixty-first and Sixty-second streets. Of
100 of the most congested blocks. the
alien percentage is now 53.

BIG ALGERIAN BATTLE.
French Troops Repulse an Attack
by Berbers and Arabs.

by Berbers and Arabs.
Advices from ColOmb Bechar, Alge-
ria, say that a French column posted
on Talzaza Hill, which commands the
plain of Tamlet, was attacked fiercely
at daylight Thursday by number of
Berbers, who, with nomad Arabs, have
been concentrating for several weeks
on the western frontier of Algeria.
Although surprised, the French force
rallied and fought desperately, and not
only beat off their adversaries, but pur-
sued them for six miles. So hot was
the pursuit that the Arabs, in their
headlong flight, abandoned their dead
and wounded. Several green flags of
the prophet also fell into the hands of
the French.
The French victory was costly, how
ever. Twenty-eight men, including an
officer, were killed and 100 men, includ-
ing ten officers. were wounded. The
losses were greatest in the foreign le-
gion. The Berber losses We're much
heavier, 125 bodies being found by TIE
French troops. The pursuit was stopped
by darkness.

Warrant, Charging Philadelphia
with Theft of 81 700, Not Served.
Confronted with the accusation OF en-
bezzling more than $4,000 from the
Franklin institute of Philadelphia, of
which he had been actuary and treasurer
for twenty-one years, Herbert E. Heyl
was seized with what is said to have
been apoplexy at his home in West Phila-
delphia and died shortly afterward. Mr..
Heyl was at breakfast, when, glancing
through morning newspaper, he saw an
account of the alleged enlightenment. He
arose from the table, ran into the hallway
and collapsed. A physician was sum-
moned, but Heyl did not respond to treat
ment. The physician, while giving the
cause of death as apoplexy, returned the
case to the coroner for a postmortem ex-
animation. A warrant for HeyPs arrest
the previous day at the instance of the
officials of the Franklin institute and SER
vice was to have been made the day Of
his death. Heyl recently retired from
the institute because of illness and new
system of bookkeeping was inaugurated.

MONTANA TOWN WIPED OUT.
Loss of Millions Caused by Hreakinl

Loss of Millions Caused by HreakiEE
of Big Dam.
It is said that a construction company
will be liable for the damage done by the
bursting of the seventy-foot dam at Hau-
ser lake, which wiped out the little town
of Craig, Mont, and drowned thousands
of cattle, causing total loss of several
million dollars. This opinion is based on
the contract Of the builders with the own
ers of the dam, the Helena Power Trans
mission Company. The dam will be re-
built at once and the construction of the
third dam at Wolf creek, which has been
approved by Secretary of War Taft, will
not be delayed The water is receding and
it is believed Great Falls and the Boston
and Montana smelter there are safe.
Great Northern Agent Stewart of Wolf
Greek reports that the track from Wolf
Creek east as far as he can see is flooded
to a depth of three feet, and that for
three miles or more it is completely wash
ed out and in places overturned, while
the rails are twisted and bent into every
shape by the foaming waters. Twenty
eight miles of track are under water.
