WALL STREET A LONG STREET
Influence Of Great Financial Center Ia
FeIt Everywhere In
America.

speak imaginatively, of course, bu

Everybody's Wall street is not mere

any one city. Wall street is a nation

ness what Washington, D. c.. is tc

Washington" figuratively.
BY Wall street" l mean the ma
tional American financial system
which, having It's capital in New York
ramifles all over the United States
and, controlling more and more per
fectly money and credit, is governing
more and more completely not only
the machinery of organized business,
but SO much of our political govern
ment as big business governs.
Nor is that all Wall street" cut a
woman in New York society not long

fessors dismissed, judges appointed,

business backs nearly every political
organization in power in cities, states
and the United States. People don't
reallze-it seems to me that Wall men
fail themselves to visualize-either
the pettiness or the largeness Of Wall
street Yet we all know that capital

the business system own an infuen-

WIles Of the Fox.

A chap tells Tip of another fox
story that is much harder to believe.
His chained pet fox kept catching the
neighbors' chickens, so he set himself
in hiding to see how Reynard did the
trick When the fox was fed. instead
of eating the grub, he would nose and
shove 1t Just short of the length of
his chain, then he would retire him
self into the hiding Of his lair or ken
mel Pleasantly a bunch of silly chick
ems would come along and get busy,
and Brer Fox had fresh, raw, juicy
chicken for dinner, instead of the
cold, cooked, human putty grub
showed at him with a stick. Although
this is the day of dirty. petty, foxy
tricks, all life is not a game of chick
ems and fox. Once in a while there
is power and a hero behind the
peoples pious wishes and prayers.
When that happens the villain goes
up Salt river fishing. or to the pen.

BUILDING BLOWN UP
Los Angeles Times Office Dyna-
mIted and Many Killed.
Five Known Dead and at Least 20
Missing Property Loss
About 100000.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The building oc-
cupied by the Los Angeles Times was
set on fire by an explosion just before
! o'clock Saturday morning. There
probably will be found a heavy death
list from the fire and explosion.
The interior of the building was en-
veloped in flames Immediately following
the explosion, which it is thought took
place in the basement, and it is report
ed that a number of men were seen to
fall dead through the windows. Esti-
mates now place the number of dead
as high as so.
The fire was preceded by an explos-
ion and Immediately the building was
enveloped in flames. This explosion
occurred on the second floor of an ad-
dition of the old building. The old
part is Of three floors.
Within few seconds from the time
of the explosion the entire building
was frey furnace. Crowds that gath
cred early say they saw many men fall
back from the windows into the flames.
Others leaped and were injured.
A later account says the Times
Office was dynamited, and claims it
was done by enemies of the paper,
presumably members Of labor unions,
whom the Times has been fighting re-
lentlessly for number of years.
The entire building and newspaper
plant are destroyed, with a loss of
$500, 900.
Most of the department editors are
believed to have escaped. Thirty men
were at work on the linotypes and so
in the "ad" room. 1t is not known
how many of these got out.
Flames followed the explosion so
quickly that many of the printers are
believed to have perished. Some were
seen to fall backward from the win
dows into the fire. Many others who
leaped to the ground were injured.

WOUND HUNDREDS
German Police Ride Down Strikers
and SyMpathizGrs
Americans Among the Injured-Cor.
respondents Not Spared-Strik-
ers Are Undaunted.

Berlin, Sept. 29.-" Suppress 7distur-
Dances without mercy" were Police
Commissioner Won Jagow's orders to-
day. The police followed out their in
structions to the letter. They rode
down and sabered mercilessly wherever
a small group of people had gathered
in the district of Moabit.
For two days this district has been
the scene of grave riots. Hundreds Of
persons have been injured and pitched
battles between strikers and their
sympathizers and the police have oc-
CURED.
AS a result Of the severe repressive
measures, scores of persons, some of
them mere passersby, were bruised or
wounded during the evening. The
correspondents of Reuters Telegram
company, the New York Times, the
New York Sun and the New York
World were among the victims while
watching the progress Of the events
from motor car. The police swept
down upon them with drawn sabres,
apparently without provocation.
The Reuter- representative was
wounded severely in both hands, while
the other correspondents were badly
bruised. They were saved from fur
ther injury by dashing at full speed to
the nearest first aid station, where
their wounds were bandaged.
From O'Clock in the evening every
saloon in the locality was closed by or
ders' of the authorities. Orders also
were given that windows of houses
must remain closed.
In spite of the strictness with which
the cordons were maintained, the
strikers and their sympathizers held
meetings at the street corners, which
in several instances resulted in blood
shed.
The police charged furiously and
beat down the workmen on every side.
In this way they rode through En-
denehstrasse and Turmsstrasse, which
were blocked with excited crowds.
Traces Of the police charges were left
in the dozens of persons lying severely
wounded on both sidewalks.
A coal wagon driven by strikebreak-
ers under police protection was attack
ed and the police replied with volleys
from their revolvers.
Several thousands marched in pro-
cession through the little Tiersgarten,
carrying a red flag.
The police dashed at full gallop
among the paraders, cutting down and
galloping over them.
1t is estimated that at this place
alone more than 100 were severely
wounded.
The police we're greeted everywhere
with shouts of "bloodhounds. ;" This
only served to incense them and they
charged repeatedly. Lively skirmishes
contiued late into the night, but at
midnight comparative quiet prevailed.

BILLION MARK is PASSED.
Country's Imports and Exports Are
Swept by Boom Both Ways.

Westinghouse boom in both direc-
tions swept both the imports and ex-
ports of the country across the billion
dollar mark, during the eight months
ending with August.
The imports were $1,055, 100, 900,
and exports $1,027, 400, 900, against
$947, 600, 600 and 1889, 100, 900 respec-
lively, for August, 1909.
Though the imports of most manu-
factured materials increased, silk,
wool and fibers fell back little, on ac-
count of the exceptionally heavy i'm
ports of the preceding years.
In exports, manufactured, cotton
decreased by 81, 800, 900 to 1892, 5O0,-
600, and automobile exports decreased
from $5, 100, 600 to SO, 300, 900.
Lumber, leather, manufactures of
iron, and steel, sewing machines, type
writer's, scientific instruments, cleo
trical machinery, furniture also in
creased, while foodstuffs, wheat -four
and meats decreased.
