Thirty-four Alleged Kidnappers
Taken, Then Let Go.

William ]. Flynn. Second Deputy Police
Commissioner. with Lieutenant Nachrls
and five members Of the Italian squad
quietly surrounded the saloon OF VITO va
sile. at No Prince street. yesterday after
noon, and arrested thirty-four Italians ss
suspicious persons, In connection with tue
kidnapping Of the Rizzo and Longo ooys
on November 9 There were men IN tne
place at the tirne known TO have recorus
for crimes in Italy, all the way from roo-
berry to murder and bomb throwing.
The raid was precipitated by the fact, tne
police say. that positive knowledge hau
come into their possession that S-o' was
passed IN No Prince street as ranso'i'
for the Di Stefano boy. The police as9e's
that they have proof that Elizaoetn
Stefano. the mother Of Michael di Steiano'
paid 10 two men that amount OF lho"e'
there for the return of her boy.
The place has been under the surveillance
Of the federal authorities and the police lo'
several weeks, but It was not until yes'e,
day that It was considered that the eNl-
dence was sufficient to warrant the raid'
The thirty-four Italians were taken to
Police Headquarters. where one oy on,
they were inspected by the Lonso anu
Rizzo boys. They, however, falled ~
identify any OF the prisoners as being I'M
plicated in their kidnapping. AFTER

nJcKINSON'S SUDDEN DEATH
Conflicting Ideas as to Cause
Wouldn't PAY Insurance.

Charles Courier Dickinson, who was the
founder and twice president OF the Carnegie
Trust Company died In St Luke's Hospital
On May "a, 1910. The manner OF his death
caused a great deal of speculation. some
people believing that he had committed
suicide while his friends stoutly insisted
through accidental causes.
stanton c. Dickinson, brother. said that
Charles c. Dckinson's death was induced
by inhaling poisonous gases while attend
ing a chemical experiment for the produc-
ton of silver from the baser metals In the
laboratory OF w r. Lange at Scranton.
Tenn. Stating that this accident brought
about the death Of Dickinson his family
attempted to collect $4,000 accident insur-
arce from the Casualty Company Of Amer
ica
The company refused to pay. saying that
his death was the result Of natural causes.
The insurance company then retained ex-
perts. who. after an exhaustive examination
and chemical analysis OF the dead man s
organs. said that Dickinson lad died from
pneumonia and Bright's disease
To add 10 the mystery Of his death. Cor
oners Winterbottom and Fenberg. after an
INQUEST following the autopsy instructed
the jury TO find that the banker had died
of gas fumes.
Dickinson was at his desk in the offices
Of the Carnegie Trust Company late in the
afternoon Of the day when he was taken
% The hospital He was said 10 have been
in good health at that time.

WILL FIGHT LOAN SHARKS
Employers Will Defend EN-
ployes, Sage Foundation Hears.

Arthur H. Ham, special agent Of the
Sage Foundation, said yesterday that the
Retail Drygoods Association would help
rim the loan sharks out Of business. Mr.
Ham said the attitude of large employers
in this city had always been against the
enploye who dealt with salary loan COM
panles. The security for the salary loan
has been this we'll known attitude Of the
large employer.
The Retail Drygoods Association. which
includes nearly all OF the representative
stores in town and represents fifty thou
sand employees, has just notified the Sage
Foundation ot it's active support in any
practical scheme 10 outfank the salary
loan fakcrs. Henceforth the association
will not discharge the employees caught in
the clutches Of the 10 per cent q. month
lenders but will investigate the cases
brought 10 its attention, and I'm the event
of suit the association will defend the case
OF the employe Heretofore Mr.. Ham said,
the loan companies have bounded employees
by threatening to cause them to lose their
jobs unless illegitimate tribute was paid.
Three hundred men employed by the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
large numbers in the Equitable Life. Postal
Telegraph, American Express, Bell Tele-
phone and various railroad companies were
being threatened with the loss OF their
jobs through exposure unless the exorbi-
tant charges Of the loan companies were
paid, said Mr.. Ham. He hoped the fear Of
dismissal might be removed, and thought
that the crooked concerns could then be
closed up.
The Sage Foundation is encouraging the
establishing OF society for the making Of
loans at low rates. and hopes II will be In
operation I'm the near future

TIES UP u. S. COURT FUNDS
Question of Receivers Liability
NAV Need Adjudication.

The closing of the Carnegie Trust COM
panv and the Incidental tying up Of de-
nosits of s9O0OO 10 sl.cooO00 placed with
that institution Is official deposltary OF
bankruptcy moneys may lead to liugatons
which will decide an interesting point IN
bankruptcy proceedings.
A well known lawyer said yesterday that
re mere fact that a banking INSTITUTION
has been appointed depository for such
moneys does not relieve from responsible
itv the receivers and trustees Of bankrupt
estates who deposit moneys collected for
the creditors. According 10 him, receivers
and trustees are liable to the fun extent
Of their individual bonds, II the moneys
belonging TO creditors represented by them
ara lost through the failure Of the deposi-
tary bank.
This opinion was opposed by number
Of other lawyers among them Irving Il.
Ernst, trustee for the creditors of j. NJ
Fiske K Co.. the Stock Exchange firm
which failed last February. He said that
he did not consider himself responsible for
such losses, as tho court appointed certain
banking institutions as official depositaries'
and the receivers or trustees responsible
itv for the moneys Of creditors ended at
the moment he deposited 1t with one OF
these banks.

Nashville Tenn, Jan. w. j. Cum
minis. director in the Carnegie Trust COM
pany, was for years a prominent whoIesaIe
grocer Of Nashville, operating the cum
Minis Bennett Company, Of Nashville anu
Memphis. Recently he made a considerapie
sum in negotiating a big deal for Eastern
capitalists and IT was said al the time
that his part was 100000. Cumminss IN
terests i'm Nashville enterprises were Varl-
ously estimated at from $l5ooOoo 10
s2,5OO.000.
Joseph r Howell. president OF the trust
company, was for twenty years or more
connected with the Fourth National Bank
OF Nashville. and filled every place from
runner TO president in that time, prior 10
accepting the presidency Of the Carnegie
Trust Company.
There Is no question but that CumminS
was instrumental ia securing the offer oi
the presidency for Mr.. Howell, and that he
also placed his brother-in- law, Watkins
Crockett, at the head of the Van Nordeh
Trust Company. afterward the Madison
Trust COMPANY Mr. Howell quit Slo'ooo
position in Nashville to accept a $4,000
place in New York. but had signed con-
tract drawn up that was binding for three
years.
state Treasurer r. 4. Folk said that the
reason for appointing the Carnegie Trust
Company fiscal agent for the state was the
fact that Teunesseans were connected with
the institution. Fiscal agents were named
bv tho state Funding Board, composed OF
tho Governor, Treasurer and Controller.
As fiscal agent Of the state, the Carnegie
Trust Company had on deposit January !
$3.50 for handling interest on registered
bonds Mr. Folk said in event checks sent
out last Sunday for s73,590 were unpaid.

WALL STREET FELT RELIEF
Carnegie Trust Company Failure
Had Been Anticipated.

The announcement Of the closing Of the
Carnegie Trust Company did not nave
much effect ou the stock market, although
IT caused a temporary recession in prices
particularly in the more speculative is
sues The prompt support that the market
met with on the decline soon rallied prices
again, however, and showed that the large
interests had anticipated the failure Of the
institution and made preparations to cope
with the emergency.
The closing of the trust company did not
cause much surprise in the Street as it
had been looked for on many occasions in
the last year or So IL was not generally
expected, however, that II would come just
at this time. although there was hardly
brokerage house in the Street that did not
have some customer who boaSted OF hav-
ing withdrawn his deposit from the lnSu-
tuition within the last few months.
Feeling I'm the financial district appeared
to be one OF relief that the long expected
failure had finally taken place, as IT was
believed 10 remove the last weak spot from
the banking situation in this city.
