LAMB BLEATING
rs HEARD NO MORE
Market Speculation is on Professional
Basis Now and Few Are
FIeeced.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-For the first
time since the panic of 1907 the bleat
Of the lamb is today practically an
unknown sound in Wall street. An in
vestigation today reyeaied plenty of
admissions from the street that the
speculative interests have dropped the
ticker tape and that the market has
become strictly professional. Reports
from large cities throughout the entire
country state the abandonment of the
market by the public has resulted in a
general closing of branch brokerage
houses. While the stock exchange has
been the hardest hit. the produce ex
cange and cotton exchange are also
suffering. At all of the big brokerage
houses in the street that could be
reached today tbe admission was made
that every outlay, such as leased wire
and branch offices are being curtailed.
Hundreds of expert quotation opera
tors have been let out with little pros,
pect of being re-engaged soon. 1t is
expected that the trouble is not appar-
emily due TO lack of money on the
part of the erstwhile ".ambsn but
rather to the skspticism OF the Wall
street game engendered by recent
muck raking exposes.

GERMANY ANXIOUS
TO SEE TROUBLE
Would Like Nothing Better Than to
Have U. S. and Great
Britian Mix.

BERLIN, Feb. 20 The German
press is today under practical orders
from the foreign office to refrain from
commenting on the threatened an
nexation rupture between England
and the. U. S. for fear of disclosing
Germany's delight at the predica-
ment.
Not since the Spanish-American
war, which brought the United States
and England closer together has such
an opportunity been presented, in the
opinion OF German diplomats for a
readjustment of international rela-
tions in Germany's favor.
There is no concealment of the hope
here that the annexation agitation
will result in such coldness between
the two English speaking nations that
Great Britain will lose prestige in
Europe. permitting the kaiser to be
come the dominating figure in the
eastern hemisphere.
Ii is admitted that this ambition OF
the kaiser has long been thwarted by
the deep seated friendliness between
the United States and England

LARGEST WATER
WHEELS IN WORLD
Contracts Awarded for Four of Them
Which Exceed Those Used at
Niagara.

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb 20.-Con-
tracts have been awarded by David l..
Huntington, president of the Wash
ton Water Power company of Spo-
kane, to company in Philadelphia
for the construction of four of the
largest water wheels in the world.
The nearest approach to them are the
five wheels in the plant at Niagara
Falls, $4,000 horse power, and the
Great Western Power company's
plant in California, which has sim
iliar capacity The equipment, to be
installed at Long Lake, 80 miles
down the Spokane river from this
city, will develop a total of 10000
horsepower The weight of the four
wheels is estimated at 100000
pounds. They will be fitted with four
150-ton generators, the largest ever
set up. The steel shaft for the
wheels is to be % inches in diameter
and 35 feet in length. Its weight is
placed at SO tons. A ITO foot mead of
water is required to operate the new
plant and to reach this a dam, $50
feet in height, 3T5 feet in width and
$50 feet at the base, tapering to 5
feet at the top will be constructed.
The company expects to have the first
unit of $4,000 horsepower in operation
before the close of 1912. The pre-
liminary work on the dam is under
way.

Mystery.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Asserting
that he will produce convincing evi-

death was not due to natural causes,
the father of the girl has appealed to
District Attorney Whitman to investi-

district attorney that he has lately
discovered clues that he thinks will
lead to the barring of crime in con-

battle, however, will center about the
child, Muriel, now with her mother in

ice JAM Will
MAKE TROUBLE
Des Moines River Gorge is Six Feet
High, Half Mile Long and Con-
sits OF Eighteen Inch
Cakes.
TH1cKEsT IN YEARS
Sudden Break Would Throw Ten Foot
Wall Of Water Onto Low Parts
Of City and do Much
Damage.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 90 Thousands
of dollars in property and the lives
Of hundreds Of Des Moines people are
endangered by the ice jam which has
formed in the Des Moines river just
above the Euclid avenue bridge.
Massed to a height of six feet, the
ice has backed up for distance OF
more than half mile; to Beaver ave
nue., and the river has risen more than
ten feet behind the jam
The plant of the Flint Brick com
pany has been compelled to suspend
business and the rise of another foot
in the river will necessitate the sus-
pension of business in the plant of the
Iowa Pipe and Tile company
The water has crept into the dry
kilns and tunnels of the Flint Brick
company and into the engine room,
making the firing of the boilers I'M
possible.
The high stage of the river has
necessitated postponement of the
work on the new Walnut street bridge
| The water has crept into the Golfer
dams and they are flooded. Higher
water will inflict great damage to the
work
AS vet the plants Of the city railway
company and the Des Moines Electric
company, which are situated .on the
river, have not been affected by the
4 high water, but any material rise will
'finfiict a great amount OF damage
a The city has done nothing to dis
lodge the Jam of ice. Dynamiting may
i be brought into use to break up the
4 ice pack.
A Formed Just above the Euclid ave.
nue. bridge, the jam is held fast by the
ice above the Sixth avenue bridge
which has not yet broken up.
4 A sudden break in the jam vii
i throw wall of water ten feet higf
onto the city and incalculable damage
may result.
The ice is eighteen inches thick
thicker than it has been in years, ant
the force with which it will be pro
PEELED down the river will tax thu
Center street dam to the limit ant
may do considerable damage to th
, bridges.
! Already the gauge on the Locus
l street bridge shows the water to b
: at height of nearly eight feet. TIL
/ ten feet additional water which i
: held in check by the jam, will NOR

Not particle of ice is howin

THIEVES ROB
THEIR own HOME
Burglars Rob Safe in Penitentiary Of
Cash and Also Take Great
Quantities Of
Tobacco.
HIGH CLASS THIEVES
Warden is at Loss as to Which Of
His Men To Accuse of
Pulling OFF tho
Job.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Feb. 90
Burglars In the penitentiary broke in
to the prison commissary room, rob-
bed the safe of $50 and stole enough
tobacco and cigars to last them until
they have served their sen.ences.
The identity Of the thieves is un-
known to Warden Andrac, but he be-
lieves the robbers were some of the
high-class burglars who are acting as
TRUSTEES. Several of the TRUSTEES are
serving sentences for safe-blowing,
porch-climbing, picking locks, etc.
The commissary department is stock
ed by the officials of the prison, and
always Is gorged with pies, cakes,
candies, tobacco and chewing gum.
The delicacies are sold to the inmates
of the penitentiary at cost.
Conyicts who pass their sundays
and holidays making trinkets which
they sell to visitors as souvenirs, are
the best patrons of the store Prison
ers who think six days week should
be the limit for any man to work, fre-
quently rebuke fellow-convicts for
their money making proclivities.
These lethargic convicts angered by
others eating delicacies before them,
| frequently have planned to raid the
comrnissary but their plots have al
ways been foiled
The fact that only TRUSTEES are per
mitted the freedom of the prison al
! night establishes alibis for the con
/ victs who remain in their cells War
den Andrae said the com1nissary room
I was entered Ey means of a dupli
cate or skeleton key made within the
prison walls, and the capture Of the
man whose work it was may revea
plot for wholesale prison break.
If the man who made the key ant
! planned the robbery of the commits
| sary room is trusty, it is believed
\ he had confederates. 1t is not though
one man could have committed tht
robbery and escaped unnoticed with
4 out the aid of other TRUSTEES. And i
a corps of TRUSTEES worked on the dea
lit would be probable for them Il
i plan an escape and carry it to sue
cess.
4 The guards passed the day endeav
oring to locate some OF the plunde
Z taken, but their efforts were 70
naught. The convicts serving as trus
ties have been model prisoners an
/ never have broken the rules Of tn
penitentiary.
