NEW YORK.

Improvement is the order of the day
in trade, collections and industry.
Freezing temperature. light SHOWS, or
killing frosts, coupled with freer crop
movement, have helped retail trade
and collections at the West and North
west, while lower temperatures and
high prices and free marketing Of cot
ton have helped distribution at the
south Jobbing trade has been coinci-
IDENTIFY benefited by bordering to fill
broken stocks, and the distributive
trade side accordingly presents ia
vorable appearance.
Trade at first hands feels the stimu-
lus in more confident buying for
spring, though the unsettlement in the
goods trade due to high cost of ma
terial and talk of curtailment. still re-
tards trade in this line. However, the
tendency of cotton goods is undenia-
bly, upward. and buying appears snght-
ly more confident at the higher prices
asked. From industrial lines the same
story of full order books and of longer
hours now comes, payrolls are expand
ing, and available skilled labor is re-
ported closely employed, with less idle
ness noted than for two years past.

GOSSIP GIVES MURDER CLUE.
One Told "Secret" at Party and DR..
George A. Fritch Was Arrested.

Women's gossip is responsible for a
new development in the Mabelle Mill
man murder mystery in Detroit. IT
was at tea party in Michigan avenue
woman said: Il know a woman who
could tell a whole lot about DR.. Fritch
if she wanted to-" She answered I'M
der a pledge of darkest secrecy that
this woman was Mrs Anthony Doemer
of 319 Michigan avenue.
Some one sent an anonymous letter
to Sheriff CASTOR and some one else
sent one to Captain Mcdonnell of the
police, and William Jansen, with an
eye to the $1,000 reward, gave Prose
cutor Van Zile direct hints. All this
caused the reassembling of special
grand jury
Mrs. Doemer was questioned and
gave information thai led to the re-
arrest of DR.. George A. Fritch and to
the detention of his chauffeur, Chris"
Leach. When the chauffeur got into
a cell he broke down and told about
carrying three bags of something to
the river near Ecorse and throwing
them in. 1t was near Ecorse that the
dismembered parts of Miss Millman's
body were found.

Mrs. Lena B. Mason Quickly Cleared
in Attempted Murder Case.
Mrs. Leona B. Mason was found not
guilty IN South Bend, Ind, of attempt
ing to murder John w. Talbot, SUI
preme President of the Order of Owls,
last March. The jury was ready to re-
port in sixteen minutes In anticipa-
ton of quick verdict the crowd
which packed the courtroom during
the closing arguments refused to leave
and every inch of space was occupied
when the jury announced that it had
agreed upon a verdict. The defendant
and her sisters smiled when they
heard the verdict, but there was no
demonstration either by them or by
the spectators.
Opinion is general that the story
told by Mrs. Mason on the stand in
which she charged Talbot with perse-
cution for six years, won the sym
pathy of the jury. The defense was
emotional insanity. Charles A. Davey
in closing for the defense delivered a
two hour arraignment of Talbot and
his associates. He asked the jury for
an unqualified acQuittal on the first
ballot. declaring that by so doing it
would place the stamp of disapproval
on such men as he asserted Talbot to

The storm was probably the worst

area. Halves OF counties were laid in

destroyed. At least three persons
were killed, others were injured, and
| several towns and villages demolish-
ed as the cy clonic storm swept through
Western Tennessee. Coming from the
southeast, the wind tore frail struc-

been working night and day and was

Hanscom was brother-in-law of Phil
Allen, Jr., vice president of the bank,
for the alleged misuse of whose funds
Allen was arrested Friday.
The bank, for generation regarded
as one of the strongest in southwest
ern Wisconsin, was closed few days
ago after weeks investigation of the
books by Bank Examiner Goodhart.
An attempt was made to keep the in
stitution on its feet by the sale of
mining property in which Allen was
interested, but the deal fell through.
1t was alleged that the bank had been
looted of 100000 by means of notes
forged by Allen.
Aliens chief aid in running the
bank was Hanscom. The vice presi-
dent became seriously i'll when the
bank was closed, and Hanscom devot-

ing Examiner Goodhart in straighten-
ing out the books. When Receiver
Schofield took charge Thursday ru-

would run greatly over 100000 and
that arrests in addition to that of
Allen were to be expected.

Value of Property Only Half.
Presentation to Judge Cutting in the
Probate Court in Chicago of more than
$4,000 worth of claims against the
estate of the late James H. Eckels re-
vealed the insolvency of the estate of
the former Comptroller of the Curren-
cy, who, at the time of his death was
president of the Commercial National
Bank and one of the foremost finan-
ciers of the nation.
Claims totaling more than $750,000
had already been allowed against this
estate, and the prospect of carrying
this total over the $1,000,000 mark
seemed completely to wipe GU the ap-
proximate total of 100000 worth of
assets shown by the inventory in the
estate. The original petition for the
appointment of administrators placed
the value of the estate at only $780,
000 By far the largest portion of the
claims which have been filed in the
probate court is for money advanced
to the dead banker as personal loans,
and many of them recite in detail
stock and bond transactions in which
he was involved.
