While the transit officials assert

The proposal of the clergymen

New York, Feb. 25.--Detectives to-

rode all over the west side in taxi

and then attacked him murderousIy,
stabbing him eight times and slashing
his tongue.
Greenthal lowered between life and
death today and refused even to try
to talk when pressed in his conscious
moments for the names Of his assail-
ants. The fact that the mans tongue
was nearly cut out leads the police TO
believe that he had been saying too
much TO suit his enemies.
A Political Crime.
other circumstances are held to indi-
cate that the crime was a political one.
The hunt for the criminals is proceed
ing on this theory.
Greenthsl formerly took an active in
terest in politics and got into trouble
at a west side polling place last cleo
tion day.
That the motive for the attack was
not robbery is shown by the fact that
1852 which the man had in his DOS
session was not disturbed When the
taxicab hunters found Greenthal I'm a
cafe and had dragged him out on the
sidewalk, they stabbed him and left
him for dead Then they jumped into
the automobile and escaped. There
have been no arrests.

PlNCHOT TO FOLLOW HIN

SENSATIONAL ATTACK ON MAN
SENT BY BALLINoER TO LOOK
AFTER CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS
WITNESS DECIDEDLY DEFIANT.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Bal
linger- Pinchot inquiry took an un.
expected turn today when Special
Agent Horace T. Jones, Of the
landoffiee, took the stand for the
prosecution" and made q sensa-
tionaI attack on James M. Sheri-
dan, who was sent by the land
office TO Seattle last year to take
charge Of the governments case in
the Cunningham coal claims in
Alaska.
Jones charged that Sheridan had
been graduated in law only year
or two; that Sheridan's conduct of
the case was incompetent; that
CLAWS, although not a lawyer,
knew more law than Sheridan,
and that Sheridan had opposed to
him two Of the best lawyers Of
Seattle.
Testifying for an hour or more,
as to the conduct of the case and
giving instances from which the
witness wished the committee to
draw conclusions, Jones said that
he did not desire to criticize
Sheridan in any way. He said
Louis r. CLAWS was not lawyer
but knew more law than Sheridan
did. Jones thought it was a re-
Election upon CLAWS ;or the land
office to send Sheridan out there to
take charge of the case which
CLAWS had worked up.
Under cross examination Jones
appeared defiant and aggressive to
the members of the committee
and counsel alike and said he did
not care what inferences were
drawn from his testimony.
Jones was still under cross ex-
animation when the luncheon re-
cess was taken and IL appeared
that Clifford Pinchot would not be
4. reached as a witness until late in
the afternoon.

Uncontrolled Banking Busi-

HANDLING OF ALIENS Coin
BUT TWO STATES IN ENTIRE UN-
ION HAVE ESTABLISHED ANY
EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF IMMI.
GRAFTON BANKING BUSINESS
PAY NO INTEREST.

Washington, Feb. 25.-- More than O.
800 persons throughout tho United
states are engaged in what amounts
to an unregulated banking business al
most entirely outside os legal control,
their customers being found wholly
among immigrant laborers who. for
the most part do not speak English,
according TO a report on the subject
of immigrant banks" transmitted to
the senate today by Senator DIling-
ham of Vermont, chairman of the inn
migration committee.
The report shows that the only
states which have established any ef-
fective control of the immigration
banking business are Massachusetts
and New Jersey The bankers under
consideration in the report for the
most part engaged in business is
steamship agents.. labor agents, saloon
KEEPERS, grocery or boarding house
agents.
Handle Hundreds of Millions.
Many of them do not In any respect
conform to the general banking law
of the state in which they operate,
and yet they annually handle hun
dreds of millions of dollars
so untrustworthy and without Sc
curity is this system" reads the report,
that through failure or by reason OF
dishonesty on the part of the less
scrupulous among these bankers, the
immigrant laborers WHO deal with
them are annually mulcted of large
sums.
"A large majority of the immigrant
bankers investigated" the report says,
use The money of their patrons for
speculation in real estate"
Pay No Interest.
Practically all who were investigated
say they pay no interest. These i'm
migrant bankers annually transmit
abroad at least $175,0OO,000 for the
purpose. of supporting families in for
eign countries, for the payment of
debts, for bringing other immigrants to
the United States or for saving or in
vestments in foreign lands.

A New National Park

The Switzerland OF America, that
vast glacial area straddling the crest Of
the great divide in northern Montana,
is to be preserved for the people Of
America as a national park.
Congress has passed, and the presi-
dent has signed, bill creating the
Glacier National Park, which contains
1900 square miles of territory immedi-
ately adjoining the Canadian boundary,
and extending southerly and westerly
to the Flathead river.
There is no more wildly beautiful
area in the entire United States than is
found in Glacier Park. Included
within its boundaries are 90 glaciers.
$50 lakes, immense forests of pine and
cedar, innumerable streams and water
falls, and mountain peaks rising from
5000 to 10000 feet in height, together
with nearly every variety of fish and
game known in that latitude.

FOUGHT TO GET BABIES
New Orleans Women Excited When New
York FoundIings Arrive

Amid the widest scenes that have
ever been witnessed at the union sta
ton, Is foundlings brought to New
Orleans from the New York founding
asylum were distributed to people who
adopted them Thursday of last week.
The train pulled into the station a
little after II o'clock and despite the
fact that an extra police detail had
been provided for, the anxious foster
parents of the little ones on the train
broke through the ropes and surged
around the coaches containing the
foundlings in an almost insane fashion.
The children were numbered and
the people to whom they were given
had little envelopes containing the
number of the child. When Joseph
o. Butler, the representative OF the
local asylum, came on to the platform
OF the coach with the little offsprings in
his arms there was wild scramble, and
when he called out the number there
was a greater scramble as woman
bearing the number and blue envelope
pushed through the crowd with almost
superhuman strength, knocking men
aside, and claimed the prize. In some
cases the women even lost their wear
ing apparel in their rush to get the
babies when their numbers were called.
The scene attracted thousands to the
depot, and the crowd was so dense il
looked as if some great event in the
city's history was being recorded. The
babies had an uneventful trip from
New York and were under the care oil
the sisters of charity and several nurses.
There were 25 more on the train which
left for the north. Several of these
babies were to be left at Memphis, and
the others at different points in the
state of Kansas.

is better time for the red apple city
to make good. owing to the fact that
the orchards will have on their show
airs and it will be possible to demon

what can be produced in the way Of
fruit in the Wenatchee and Columbia
