ON GERMAN BANK.
A Bad Run is Being Made on Big
Berlin Institution.

BERLIN, Aug. H.-There were
most exciting scenes around the
Friederichsberger Bank in the eastern
district of Berlin yesterday as con-
sequence OF rumors that the institu-
ton was in difficulty. Thousands OF
persons gathered before the building
demanding the return OF their depos-
its. The crowd became so dense
that the street cars were forced to
stop and large force OF police, which
was called out were unable to control
the excited throngs.
The directors Of the bank asked
permission to keep the institution
open until 8 o'clock.
More than $250,000 was drawn out
in small amounts. The bank was
able to satisfy all the demands for
call money with the assistance of the
Imperial and Dresdener banks but
other creditors received only $3.50
each owing to the lack Of ready cash.
The directorate of the bank de-
clares that the institution is perfectly
safe. 1t is said that the rumor of the
banks difficulties was set on foot by
a school teacher who during lessons
advised his pupils to inform their
parents that the bank was insolvent.
A warrant for his arrest has been ap-
piled for. An immense crowd Of de-
positors were shouting for their
money at midnight.

Of Animals,

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27- Emmett
B. Rice has been appointed to a
municipal position that has resulted
in the death of his two predecessors
in office-that OF animal keeper OF the
East Lake Park Zoo. Herman Ger
son, who last held the place, died a
few weeks ago from the effects of an
attack by man-eating tiger, and a
former keeper succumbed to the bite
OF a rattlesnake. Rice has the repu-
tation OF being fearless almost to the
point OF ioolhardiness with the occu-
parts of the cages, and in making the
appointment, Mayor Harper spoke OF
Rice's practice of going into the
cages and holding boxing matches
with the lions and tigers. The mayor
suggested that if he wanted to place
his life in jeopardy ip this manner he
must do il while no one was around
to be horror-stricken at possible
consequences. Rice told the mayor
that he had married recently and was
little more careful of his health
than formerly

SAN BKRNARDINO, Cal, Aug.
H.-James &Ray, wealthy resident
OF Zwickley, Pa, last night awoke to
the realization of the fact that he had
wandered nearly across the continent
without knowledge of where he was
going. Gray was taken in charge by
an officer after he had entered the
room of a hotel bus driver and appro-
priated the drivers clothing which he
exchanged for his own. Later he re-
turned the clothing, but attempted to
take possession of horse and buggy.
At the hospital he stated that he had
left home some time ago without any
purpose in view and came to himself

 The Lessler-Dobin-Q -Quigg submarine scandal of 1903 has not been forgotten by members of Congress. A member of the House Naval committee said bluntly this afternoon that the Naval committee was packed" in favor of tke submarine people, and that such an investigation as the insurance in quiry of New York, as conducted by Mir. Hughes would, in his opinion, re- veal a startling and dlscreditable con dition of affti frs.

IDLE MEN IN RIOT Philadelphia the Scene of Sharp Encounter With Mounted
 Police.
REV0L VERS AND RED FLAGS
Four Policemen Shot-Many Alarchers Arrested-Riotcrs Are
 Foreigners.

Philadelphia, Feb. 20.-The march of nearly one thousand foreigners upon the City Hall, where they said they intended to make demands upon Mayor Reyburn for work, precipitated a riot in Broad street in the heart of the city late to-day, in which twenty persons were injured before the police by pie turesque methods dispersed the march, CTS and arrested fourteen of them.
 The men, most of whom were Italians and Poles, came from the foreign settle ment in the lower section of the city. They intended to call on the mayor as a preliminary to meeting they in tended to hold in a hall tonight. The leaders and score of others in the line carried flags having black bor- CT. When they reached Broad street, a few blocks below the City Hall, sey- eral wagons attempted to pass through the line and the drivers were dragged from their seats by the marehers and badly beaten.
 Policemen ran to the rescue of the drivers and riot call was sent in. The motor bicycle police were sent flying through the center of the city and rounded up the entire mounted police , squad, the big reserve street squad and all patrolmen, who were hurried to the i scene in wagons and automobiles, even private carriages that were standing in front of stores being pressed into ser vice. The reserve police force from six central districts were also hurried out
 A number of persons who were watching the paraders participated in the first disturbance and when the big reserve force of police hurried down upon the marches general riot was in progress.
 Some of the marchers drew revol vers and began firing at the police. and the mounted officers riding into the center of the fight used their batons right and left upon the heads of the leaders. In the melee three policemen were shot and slightly wounded, and Charles Mum, who was watching the fight, was struck in the leg by stray bullet. Reserve Officer Pyott was beaten unmerciful- ly and is in hospital, as is Policeman Smith, who first went to the rescue of the drivers who were attacked. Harry Drudng, one of these, was beaten and nearly stripped of his clothing, and fourteen participants in the demon stration were so severely clubbed by the police h1at they also had to be sent to hospital.
