They Try to Start Another
Panic in New York.
Call Up Numerous DepOsitOrs
on the Telephone.
THEY SOUNDAN ALARM
Tell Them Their Bank Is About
to Close.
Institutions Named Are Known
to Be Entirely Solvent.

New York, Feb. 4.-For the last week
reports have reached one or two large
banks to the effect that some one was
calling up depositors on the telephone
and telling them that the bank in
which they had deposits was about to
close. The attacks seemed to be direct
ed mainly toward one of the large banks
although several others were also men
toned.
The American Bankers association
has now taken the matter up and pri-
vate detectives as we'll as a portion
of the city detective force have been
put to work on the case. The banks in
question are entirely solvent and the
telephone messages have been sent with
the evident intention of starting runs.
1t is the general opinion in banking
circles that the rumors are being
spread for the purpose Of affecting the
stock market. 1t is of course next to
impossible to trace the sender of the
messages, but if he or they can be
found criminal prosecutions will follow.
Spreading false reports regarding a
financial institution is a felony under
the New York law and is punishable
by a fine not to exceed $1,000 and i'm
prisonment for period not to exceed
three 'earS.

CERTIFICATES GRANTED,
Teachers Who Pass the Test of State
Board of Education.

Salaries paid to school teachers are
so low in comparison with the wages
earned in many other lines of work
that q great scramble is on among
the school teachers of the state to get
certificates to act as instructors or
conductors of teachers Institutes dur
ing the summer months, and thereby
add something to their regular in
comes.
Yesterday the state board of educa-
ton made public the result of it's
January examination for certificates.
and in the list are 33 certificates for
conductors of institutes and lis GER
tificates for instructors of institutes.
Besides those who took the examina-
tions and succeeded, there were many
who took it and failed The names of
the ones who failed are not given out.
The conductors of an institute can
clean up a couple of hundred dol
lars by a summers work as manager
of a teachers institute. while the in
structors in the institutes can get $50
or $40 per month. In view of the
present shortage in salaries, this sum-
mer work proves very attractive.

ANARCHISTS ARE BUSY.
Chicago Police Chief Says They Were
Never More Dangerous.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-"Never in the
history of Chicago have anarchists
and other enemies of law and order
been more dangerous than they are
at present" declared Chief of Police
Shippy.
1.-The police are watching their
movements closely. You never know
when they are going to break out" !"
Chief Shippy had just finished read
ing a police report of meeting of
Chicago anarchists at which the as
sassin of King Carlos and son and
that of President Mckinley were ap-
provingly referred to. In this con-
nection the chief of police pointed1y
criticized Municipal Judge Oscar NJ.
Torrison for suggesting that two men
arrested here for posting red pla-
cards unlawfu1ly advertising an an
archist meeting be released without
penalty.

COVERED WITH ICE.
Decided Change in the Weather Con-
ditions Today.

For the first time this season To-
peka is experiencing real winter
weather from the observers stand
point The temperature is not nearly
as low as it has been at several other
periods but the crust Of ice which COW
ers the pavements and walks and the
sheet of s1eet which shrouds the trees
and telephone wires gives the obs server
a truly winter scene.
During the latter part of the night
a drizzling rain began falling and a
few minutes later this turned into a
sleet which has been much in evidence
since that time. The temperature has
been such that with the drizzling rain
which has fallen at intervals all day
most of the ice has disappeared from
the pavements and walks.
The mercury has hung about the
freezing point since O'Clock this
morning though it has been slightly
above that mark since noon. The to-
tai precipitation for this locality so far
has amounted to .15 of an inch though
the indications are that the storm is
not over and that there will be a
greater amount of precipitation to-
night. The condition which prevails
in Topeka is thought to be general all
over the entire state. The tempera-
lures since o'clock this morning

NO EARLY RELEASE.
If Lttleton's Counsel Be Needed i'm the
Thaw Case.

New York, Feb. If the counsel of
Martin w. Littleton prevails, 1t does
not appear to be likely that an early
attempt will be made to have Harry
asylum on habeas corpus proceedings
He said today that there was no need
to obtain habeas corpus.
Harry Thaw has been acquitted of
the charge of murder and is not a
criminal" said he. He is at Mattea-
wan for the purpose of observation
only. If the conditions and surround
1ngs there are such that his health may
be impaired it is incumbent on the
state board Of 1unacy to have him re-
moved to an institution where other
conditions and surroundings prevail. -
Daniel O'Reilly, another of Thaw' s
attorneys, went to Matteawan today to
consult with the prisoner regarding
possible future steps looking to his re-
lease from custody.
Thaw spent last night in a private
room, Immediately adjoining the ward
in which he has been since he was
taken to the institution. He said to-
day, however, that the slightly
lieved him of the sleeplessness with
which he has been troubled since he
has been at the asylum. Daniel
O'Reilly was accompanied by Mrs.
Evelyn Thaw, the prisoners wife,
when he visited the hospital today.
to return to this city, Mrs. Thaw
said:
'What a terrible place it is I
think it is awful. I would be crazy
myself If I stayed there a week. If
the lawyers don't make a move to
get Harry ought right away 1 shall
do something myself. During the day
he has to sit with all these unfortun-
ate people, and 1 don't wonder he
becomes excited"
Visited by Alienists.
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 4.-Dr. Allen Fer
ris, president of the lunancy commits
sion, who visited Harry Thaw yester-
day at Matteawan, said that Thaw ap-
peared very nervous and excitable, but
that on such a short notice it would
be impossible to come to any conclu-
sion as to his permanent mental con-
dition.
."The prisoner was very cordial and
gentleman1y to me-" said DR.. Ferris.
"I talked with him in a private room
for about 20 minutes just after he had
been in conversation with his wife He
was too excited for me to pursue any
one line of questions, but was consist
ent in his answers. He talked about
the architecture of the asylum, saying
it was thought it was rather crude and
said that better provision ought to be
made for protection against the wind.
He also said that he remembered me
at the trial and that he had intended
inviting me as one of his experts ap-
parently forgetting that I had testified
for the state and against him at the
first trial.
DR.. Ferris said that Thaw did not
appear to be despondent and that he
is being treated the same as any other
person. d

CHARGE OF FORGERY.
Prince De Sagan and Count De Cas-
tellane Meet in Court.

Paris, Feb. 4.-The Sagan-C Castel-
lane case came up in the correctional
court today, having been adjourned
from January Ia. Count Boni and
Count Jean de Castellane, his brother,
are charged with assault by Prince De
Sasan early in January
Answering a question put by the
court, Count Boni declared that he
could explain clearly the motives of
his animosity towards Prince De
Sagan by certain documents which he
intended to hand over to the court, but
that the intimate character of these
papers prevented their being made
public. At this statement Prince De
Sagan interrupted the proceedings by
crying in a loud voice:
These documents are forgeries''
Count Boni admitted that he had
spat in Prince De Sagan's face and
explained that he had not sent sec
onds to his cousin to arrange duel as
ne knew that the prince could not find
anybody who would be willing to
represent him on the field of honor.

City Judgeship.

Governor Hoeh had no announcement
to make concerning the appoint

dotte county, as provided for under the
law enacted at the special session.
There We're great many people in to

has strong endorsements from the bar
of Kansas City.
Since it has been announced that
Judge William G. Holt is soon to re-
sign from the bench and return to

BILE for his place. and the chances are
that Governor Hoch will name L. C.
