HoTeEDs OF SOCIALISM.
Social Settlements Thus characterized
by Father Curry.

Chicago. Ill. Nov. l9.-The modern
social settlements of American cities
were denounced as breeding places of
socialism and anarchy by Rev. James
B. Curry of New York, in an address
at the Catholic missionary congress.
Father Curry. who labors among the
poor of the famous Cherry Hill dis
trict tiayed the rich supporters of the
social settlements of the crowded city
districts, declaring that many of them
go among the poor as pharasees and
seek to excuse their own shortcomings
by their interest in the sufferings of
their brothers,
The speaker inquired if any one had
ever heard of a social settlement
among the rich to teach them the sa-
credness of marriage and declared
that a champagne debauch is as bad
as one on mixed ale"
The speaker in closing. however, ad-
mitted that the social settlement,
purged of what he termed its abuses
and under proper Catholic administra.
ton would be good department OF
endeayor for the Catholic church.

.ONCE F|NANCIER,
DIES IN PRISON
DAVID RoTHscHlLD STARTLED
COUNTRY IN 1904 BY HIS
OPERATIONS.
WAS PRESIDENT OF FEDERAL
BANK; ENDS DAYS IN
SING SING.

New York, Nov. l9.--News of the
death in Sing Sing prison of David
Rothscnild, a former banker OF this
city, which was received here yester-
day, renewed interest in one OF the
most remarkable instances of "high
finance that ever occurred here.
Rothschild was president of the
Federal bank, which institution was
organized in 1892 and closed by the
banking department in 1904. at which
latter time Rothschnd was charged
with misappropriating 100000 of the
banks funds. AT the time Of the Fed
eral bank failure, the Globe Security
company, another of Rothschilds con
Germs, also failed Hundreds OF small
investors in Michigan. Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana ohio and Missouri bought
bonds of the Globe, under promise OF
high rates of interest and these lost
practically all of their money
The Federal bank did business with
small merchants and manufacturers OF
the east side of New York and its
failure ruined many of them A large
percentage of loans made by the
bank were without endorsers or Sc
curity and Rothschild was charged
with applying the funds to his own
use.
The specific charge on which
Rothschild was convicted was dis
counting a note for $4,000 for H. d
Nessler and transferring the proceeds
to his own accounts Rothschild was
taken to prison June l. 1904. and there
was year and half of his term YET
unseryed when he died.
