INDIANS INVITE WHITE HUNTERS
They Claim There are Ducks Enough
For All.


For All.
Duluth.-The reservation Indians of
the reservations of northern Minnesota
are striving to correct the widespread
impression that they do not like to
have white hunters on their lands and
lakes. Chief Daybway-wain-dung Of
the Bots Fort reservation is out with
a letter inviting duck hunters. He
says that there are more ducks than
the Indians want, and that the money
that they get from white hunters for
service as guides helps them to buy
necessaries for the winter which they
otherwise would have to go without.
The chief warns the white hunters,
however. to bring no liquor with them
to the reservation.

New York. Jan. IA pool in Columbus
and Hooking Coal and Iron stock, man
aged by James r. Keene collapsed to-
day, with the result that might be ex-
pected, when, for the second time in
stock exchange history, the plans Of the
master manipulation went sadly awry-
Stocks went down. Two stock exchange
firms failed, with liabilities Of more than
$SO00.oOO. at a conservative estimate. The
stock market became confused.
And as an effect additional TO those fol-
lowing Mr.. Keene's former reverse, more
than a score Of brokers and hundreds of
wearied clerks were still working at
midnight in an effort 10 straighten
tangled contracts.
The Trinity Church clock, which looks
down upon the stock exchange, stopped
at 90 a m. and had not resumed bhsi-
ness at a late hour tonight The pool
In Hooking began to t0tter before the
clock stopped and crashed at just about
that moment, but the confusion created
by the crash continued throughout the
stock exchange session and afterward
until the wrangling over disputed con-
tracts, the examinations and recrimina-
tons became angry, and, it seemed, in
terminable.
The stock exchange authorities, finding
late in the afternoon that brokers were
unable to settle disputed contracts
among themselves, resorted to the un-
usual expedient Of notifying ali the dis
putants to ratify no trade until the
authorities had fixed the terms Of settle
ment.
In such a large way this extraordinary
power Of the exchange authorities had

officer who was the lover Of Frau Won
Schoenbeck.
Capt. Won Goeben was arrested imme-

maintained his innocence. but later on
broke down and made a complete con-
fessi0n in which he incriminatod the
baroness. He declared that the woman

IN A FIRE PANIC
Girls Hurl Themselves from
FOurth-stOry Windows.

Philadelphia, Jan. 19-Scores Of work
ing girls on the top floor OF a four-story
factory building at Chancellor and South
American streets were thrown into q
wild and unreasoning panic when fire
broke out there at 1870 o'clock this
morning
Although the building had an adequate
fire escape. the rush Of the flames
through thin wooden partitions made the
girls forget this and everything else in
a crazy dash for the street. In the
hurly-burly and excitement men who
should have been a restraint upon the
others. lost their heads completely IN
the bedlam Of screams. shrieks. and
cries for help.
Wire nettings at windows were torn
away. Girls and men threw themselves

a crush on the wooden stairway. In
ten minutes havoc had been wrought
sufficient to plunge many homes in grief
for years to come. Four girls and
man are dead. a woman and a girl are
dying and twelve others are injured.
Blanche Canta, sixteen years old, is said
by her sister TO be In the ruins.
But the feature Of the fire was the
attempt made to save the panic-stricken
girls, who were about to jump headlong
from the windows to the pavement Men
got rubber wagon covers, and holding
them taut at the edges. let the girls and
men leap into them from the great height

The stock exchange firms which failed
were Lathrop. Haskins & Co. 50 Wall

IN the Hooking pool, and the latter, while
not a member OF the pool, carried a
great deal Of the stock for customers
and was unable 10 respond to calls from
the banks for additional collateral. Law
yers for the firms said that the LathrOp
FIRMS assets were S4.5OO.OOO and its Habu-
.ities g. 400c01, after the close Of business
on Tuesday. and that the Fiske firm had
liabilities Of S2.5OO.0OO and assets OF s2.909,-
900 on the same day. What the liabilities
amounted 70 after the collapse OF Hook

to estimate.
It's high market position had been
maintained fairly well throughout the

loss Of 63l2 points, or = per cent of its

loss of 54i4 points on the day.
The members Of the pool supposed
their holdings intact and immune when
the market opened After the break, one
accused the other OF quietly unloading.
and there was even heard the charge
that Mr. Keene. who has been reputed
bearish on the stock market, as a whole,
had diverted his principal attention to
other things than Hooking The wrang-
lings over the responsibility for the
