You won't tell your family doctor
the whole story about your private
illness you are too modest. You
need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pink

could not explain to the doctor. Your
letter will be held in the strictest con-
fdence. From her vast correspond
ence with sick women during the
past thirty years she may have
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. Such letters as the fol-
lowing, from grateful women, es-
tablish beyond a doubt the power of

o'clock and were not molested for sew
eral hours A crowd attacked two cars
in the outskirts of the city shortly after
10 clock, hurting stones and other mis-
siles, and after driving off the crews,
completely wrecked the cars.
Squads of police were hurried to the
place and over fifty arrests were made.
The Jail is nearly filled with rioters and
orders were repeated to arrest every
member of a street gathering that con-
tanned more than three persons. Two
of today's rioters were badly hurt, one
of them being cut in the throat, but not
fatally.
Several other outbreaks occurred about
noon. Police squads in automobiles
dashed back and forth quelling disorder
and scattering crowds. Several shots
were fired CT the cars manned by strike
breakers, but no one was hit.
A car was wrecked on East Main street

Disgraced Banker Must Answer to
Grand Jury Indictments in
Judge Dunne's Court on

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. al. Dalzell
Brown was today given until January
to plead to the indictment charging
him with embezzlement in connection
with the disappearance of the Cotton
estate securities from the California Safe
Deposit and Trust company, of which
he was formerly general manager.
Judge Dunno made an order allowing
Brown to visit the vaults of the insol-
vent bank today for the purpose of get
ting some private papers.
Yesterday was dividend and interest
day with the banks, and large sums of
money, approximating 100000, were paid
over the counters of the savings and
trust banks.
The panicky feeling which existed some
weeks ago has wholly disappeared and
conditions in the various banks are prac-
tically normal.
The savings banks alone paid out in
excess of $2,500,00O, or were prepared to
do so. 1t had been thought by some
that savings depositors would wait until
dividend day and make that an oppor-
tunity to draw considerable sums out of
the banks. But this prediction failed of
fulfillment. Nothing of an unexpected
or unusual character occurred at any of
the banks.
The Union National bank of Oakland
reopened its doors yesterday, after seven
weeks of importation.

Rather more than usual post-holiday quiet
is reported In general trade and industry put
the financial situation shows continued bet
torment. Reduction sales stimulate retail
trade at some cities, but mild weather limits
seasonal distribution at the northwest while
holding of cotton affects retail trade and col

Money is more easily obtainable for business
purposes at large centers, number OF the
country banks have unobtrusively resumed
cash payments, and the premium on currency
practically disappeared with the old year ut
New York
Stock taking absorbs interest in wholesale
lines, but preparations for spring trade are
under way, and some statesmen have gone on
the road.
Shipments of goods on spring orders are re-
ported light. At the south, however, retail
business is very quiet and in some Instances
nearly one-third of the cotton crop Is still
reported held by farmers.
The lumber trade, while showing rather
more life at western points, is very quiet at
the south, and yellow pine and cypress prices
are being heavily cut. The effects OF this IS
found in the report of traffic on leading rail-
roads which, in addition, report business as
a whole still shrinking.
Business in the dry goods and clothing trade
is light as a whole. but the tone Of that trade
is more confident than month ago.
The leather trade has been quiet and sole
leather stocks are small owing to curtailment
of output, but stocks of hides are large.
Business failures for the week ending Janu-
airy number 945 against 24s last week and lS5
in the like week Of 1907.

resulted from two cause.-the first, the
action of the earl during the first trial
of Harry K. Thaw, the countess
brother. 1t is stated that when the trial
was about to begin the count went to
Egypt and lived in seclusion in the select
colony of English folk there. The second
cause is said to be the action of the
Thaw family in determining upon an in
sanity plea for Harry Thaw.
Objected to Plea
From reports received here from Lon
don during the past month it. is stated
that Yarmouth objected to the insarity
plea figuring in the New York trial on
the ground that ii would have a direct
influence on the succession of the Var
mouth estate, in the event there was an
issue from the marriage.
1t is also said the earls parents used
every influence to prevent the institution
of proceedings to nullify the marriage.
The Yarmouths were married two years
and a half ago by the Rev. w. /. Nc

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The Chicago anti
suicide bureau of the Salvation Army is
sued a report yesterday of the cases
handled. and suicides prevented since the
establishing of the bureau six months
ago.
In that time, 1886 persons have sought
the assistance offered by the bureau
and of this number, it is estimated 81
per cent have been saved from self-de-
struction.
A significant fact is that an over
whelming number of those who applied
to the bureau were men.
Only sixty-five women availed them
selves of the help of the women's de-
partment.
The most prolific causes of men desir-
ing to commit suicide are domestic I'M
happiness, lack of employment, drunken
ness and gambling. The reasons given
most frequently by the women were de-
sertion, sickness and lack of work.

for Attempting to Dictate Under
What Terms Others
Should Work
By Associated Press.

BY Associated I'ress.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. S.-Judge VIII
liam II. Hunt in the federal court late
today gave a verdict of &Nilty against
three of the four Butte labor leaders on
the charge of contempt of court in vio-
lating the injunction of the court re-
straining them from interference with the
operations of the Rocky Mountain Bel
Telephone company.
Joseph Shannon received a sentence Of
ninety days imprisonment in the county
Jail.
William Cults was sentenced to ninety
days Imprisonment and a fine of $3.50,
while A. e. Edwards was given a SEN
tence of ninety days Imprisonment and
500 fine.
r. c. Scott, the fourth defendant, was
discharged.
During the days session yesterday the
defense continued its testimony to prove
an alibi for the accused men. Among
those who occupied the stand were Jo-
seph Shannon and William Cults, who
testified in their own behalf.
In rendering his decision, Judge Hunt
said: God gave man his hands, his
back and the right to use them as he
pleases. 1t is an inalienable right. No
power can take it away from a man. No
power can compel him to work. No
power can compel him to stop working, IL
he desires to work. When man. or any
set of men, take it upon themselves to
say that they are the law and to defy
the process of the courts, to defy the
police authority of the land, to usurp the
authority of established government, to
upset the very base of society in which
we all live there is a power which will
come TO the rescue of the man who is
wronged in that way, and that power is
that which protects you and protects
me, and must continue to afford us all
protection; else government is destroyed"
Shannon was a member of the first leg
islature, and is now president of the Mon
tana branch of the Western Federation
of Miners. Cults Is business agent for
