WHERE ARE THEIR GOODS AND CHATTELS ?

Many of the victims of the fire have
 been spending fruitless days in search
 of missing portions of their personal
 effects and stocks of goods which were
 scattered so hurriedly and carried to so many havens of refuge during last Tuesdays fire. In the furry and excite
 ment, these belongings became scat tered to various nearby and even dis tant stores and residences without the direction of the owners, and some of
 them are still looking for their prop erty.
 Particularly unfortunate, was Isadore Goldstein who has been running around in circles trying to trace stray garters
 and pett;coats. His stock, only half of
 which was saved from the flames, was carried to a number of places and they
 probably had no use for lingerie. Deplorable as is the fact, it appears ! that q conSiderai le portion of the stuff | was stolen by that particular form of
 worthless citizen who battens on the misfortunes of others.
 Anyone having information of stray
 articles should report the same i'm mediate ely.

THEY ARE GRATEFUL
 ID WILLING WORKERS

This paper has been requested at least dozen times by the various losers in the big fire of this week to put in q card of thanks to the public for the aid rendered in saving stocks and fur niture from the greed of the flames. The sentiment is all right, and it affords much pleasure to be able to extend the grateful thanks of the sufferers to those who labored so valiantly in their behalf. However, taking the cue from @ foreman of our machine room, who ts seen emerging from the Merchants cafe in the thick of the fight with d large section of open-face pie, VIC can truthfully say that these willing work CTS feel more than amply repaid fol the little they were able to do in pre- venting a total loss of the contents of the buildings.
 However, the grateful appreciation ot the unfortunate ones is most sin cerely extended.

Finance Minister Limantour Says
Mexicans Should Be Reassured.

NEW YORK, March CLOSE Yves LII
mantour. the Mexican minister of finance,
conferred today on the Mexican situation
with j. P. Morgan, jr., P. B. Bennett, vice
president of the National Railways OF
Mexico. and several other financiers. 1t
was said that Cecil Grenfell, a member OF
the British parliament, was expected to
join the conference.
Mr.. Limantour, during the progress
of the conference. said that he had re-
ceived from the department of foreign
relations in Mexico City a copy of the
telegram sent to President Diaz by
President Taft. Commenting on the
telegram, Mr.. Limantour said:
This communication from President
Taft to President Diaz will, ! am sure. be
reassuring to my government. and should
be to my people. who, naturally, have
been greatly discouraged by the sensa-
tional statements which have been made
by the press. ! greatly regret the tone
of many of the comments made by the
press upon the whole matter, and also
the number of false rumors which are
daily printed about Mexico.
1T is impossible for me to understand
why sensational developments should be
expected with the two peoples whose re-
lations are SO well defined as those OF
Mexico and the United States are and
who are living and for a long time have
lived as such good neighhors."
Mr.. LimantOur said that he had no
special program for the day and could
not say just when he would leave for
Mexico.

NAVY PAYMASTER CLERK
AND $4,000 MISSING.
Gold Belonging to United
States Taken From the
BattIeship Georgia.

Secret Service operatives are searching
high and low for a paymaster's clerk OF
the navy, who is reported to have alb
seconded with $4,000 in gold and paper
belonging to the United States. cit was
taken from the strong box on the battle
ship Georgia of the Atlantic fleet.
The robbery occurred At Guantanamo
early in February. and has been kept
secret up to this time in the hope of the
capture of the offender. Information of
the occurrence finally leaked out, how
ever. and the fact of the loss of the
money is now admitted at the Navy De-
partment.
The name of the defaulter is not dis
closed, however, but there may be some
significance in the fact that a paymas-
ter's clerk on the Georgia left the ship
at Guantanamo without expIanati ton
shortly after the discovery OF the loss
of the money. and has not been heard
from since.
Rear Admiral Schroeder. commanding
the Atlantic fleet. promptly reported the
loss Of the money to the Navy Depart
ment, and every agency OF the govern
ment mas been dilSently employed since
then in an effort to apprehend the per-
son or persons implicated in the robbery.
The report that the robber had been
captured in Cuba while arranging to
return to the United States with his
booty, and was now i'm irons aboard
the Georgia. is denied at the Navy De-
partment, where it is admitted that the
suspect is still at large. Some Of the
officials of the department are of opin-
ion that he succeeded in making his
way to the United States, and is now
in hiding In this country.

side Formers Body.

NEW YORK, March 9.-Three revolver
shots were heard I'm private dining

fee clerk, who had come from Chicago
yesterday. dead, and his wife. Bella, IA
tally wounded. Mrs. Hall died a few
moments later. Her fur coat had been
set afire. so close had the weapon been
placed to her breast.
A revolver was found beside Halls
body. This led the police to believe that
he had shot his wife and committed sui
eide. The later discovery Of a dozen
cartridges in the woman's stocking de-
veloped a mystery and the police are GER
tain only that no third party was con-
cerned.
Mrs. Sarah Schwartz, the girls mother,
could throw little light on the case.
She only knew. she said. that Hall had
come from Chicago yesterday. had called
on his wife at the Schwartz home and
they went out for a walk together about
dusk.

AMERICAN INVESTMENTS
ARE HEAVY IN MEXICO
Estimated at the Present Time
to Be Something Like
$1,500,000, 1000.

The Bureau Of American Republics es-
innate of American investment in Mex
leo three years ago was nearly billion
dollars. 1t is estimated that the invest
ment has increased q half billion dollars
In the three years.
A consular report from Guadalajara
gives this table of the distribution Of
American capital in that one district
Mines, $4,000 900: merchandise. $500, 1000;
banks. $25O,OO0: manufactures. 100000;
miscellaneous. 100000: total, $5,45o.0oo.
About 5000 Americans reside in the
City of Mexico alone.
Between 1856 and 1905 the total invest
ment in Mexico was $1,9os. 100000. valued
in Mexican currency. The equivalent IN
American money is $954, 100000.
There are few lines Of industry into
which this enormous investment has not
worked its way. The hardware stores OF
Mexico are managed almost wholly by
packing are largely controlled by English
or Canadian corporations, which, how
ever, number many Americans among
their officers and stockholders. Inc TO-
bacco trade is largely Mexican. In al.
most every other field Of development
American capital is either the principal
investment or one Of the most important.

miles which are building, represent to

Yet the railroad investments are
only small part Of the American in
terests in Mexico. Probably the greater
part of the total has gone into mining
and the industries allied with mining.
