Cold Storage In Europe.

Many of the European cities are fol-
lowing the example Of America as re-
CARDS cold storage plants. Paris is
one of the centers where such ques-
lions are now being promoted, and
the Refrigeration society is endeavor
ing to bring such questions before en-
gineers and manufacturers. Not long
since there has been built a large
cold storage plant in the suburbs of
Paris and lying On the North Rail
road. 1t Is designed to store home
products which are to be exported as
well as foreign products brought in by
rail to be consumed in the city. There
are now eleven cold storage chambers
in operation, A convenient system
is the use Of an automobile wagon
with freezing compartments which
plies between the city and the stor-
age-house. 1t carries the products t,
the sellers in town, and also takes
back the unsold products for storage.

VARYING Prices of Lohsters.

In the famous old Kennebec Journal,

adds, they are not as low in price
as in the old days, when they sold
six for rs cents, but the price has
fallen to is cents a pound. which is
decidedly different from the figures
that were being quoted early in the
spring. Then they were being bought
alive for so cents a pound from the

Tor each ten arrests there are but five

Is a transcription from the city's Grim
inal records. In one day this month
there % murders and attempted muir
ders within the city limits! Then the
few citizens who didn't quite like SO
much promiscuous murder began to
talk of ~reviving their vigilance com
mittee Of other days, but those whose
memories harked back a little dis
suaded them, writes a correspondent
of the New York World.
The vigilantes are worse than the
m~urderers!" was the burden of their
arguments, which were only too true.
A handful Of law abiding citizens
got up the idea Of a vigilance commit
tee not so long ago. The plan was
enthusiastically received--by Irkutsk's
ex-convict population and the asso-
ciated thugs themselves. They en-
rolled by the score, got together a
compact organization and volunteered
their service. The governor granted
them exceptional power-oh, now
crime would be stamped out in short
order!
Now there is a great deal Of defer
ence between an Irkutsk policeman
and a western guardian of the peace.
The difference Is in price; the Irkutsk
policeman turns his head the other
way for a much smaller sum. But
then he only gets $40 a month and he
needs the extra money, no matter how
little 1t be.
How Vigilance Committee Worked.
Well. the first thing the new vigil
lance committee did was to get the
police on their s~ide--which was easy.
Then began the shooting Of rich mer-
chants In broad daylight-they we're
suspects, you know. Next, under cover
OF "house-inspection' and penal con
fiscation" burglary blossomed forth
on every hand. Very soon 1t took all
the power the government commanded
to rid Irkutsk Of this vigilance com
mittee which was only vigilant for it's
own best interests.
Well" says Irkutsk's none too
large law abiding population, they
were no worse than the Cossacks,"
which Is strictly true. For example:
A few years ago all the gold mined
in eastern Siberia had to pass through
the government laboratory at Irkutsk.

A Protest from the Bankers.

In the annual report of the Comp
troller of the Currency one statement is
made in striking contrast to its con-
iventional surroundings 1t is as follows
The dishonest practice by officers of
national banks OF receiving personal
compensation for loans made by the
bank Is growing evil, and has already
reached such proportions as to call for
criminal legislation on the subject In
this matter either the bank is defrauded
of lawful interest which it would other
wise receive, or usuriouS interest is
exacted of borrower by a corrupt
officer. A secret reward TO the officers
Is sometimes deliberate bribe for OBJ
tanning loan on insufficient security"
Some of the banking interests of the
country have already protested against
the imputations contained in this para
graph. 1t is said Comptroller Murray
will be challenged to produce specific
proof of his allegation.
On their part, the bankers assert that
the interest rate is determined by the
money market, and that the time for
which the loan is made is fixed by al
most infexible rule. Banking officers
have simply to pass on the adequacy
of the security offered. and in time of
general demand for money, to choose
between rival applicants. That they
take tips" like walters in fashion

usury, is not generally believed.

FOUR FOUND ALIVE
IN BURNING MINE
Rescuers Hope to Save More
at BriceVille.

Briceville, Dec. IA Scene of widest
excitement was enacted at the pit OF
the Cross Mountain mine tonight when
a Federal official announced to the
! throng OF grief-stricken women that
four men had been taken out OF the
wnecked workings alive. For a mDment
the crowd stood transfixed, as though a
miracle had been pronounced, and then
broke forth in hysteria. Women
screamed and tainted. and IT was with
difficulty that mad rush into the pit
was prevented.
The men were unidentified. All were
near death from starvation and the ef-
fects of the gases.
The rescuers are working with renewed
vigor tonight. They have already pene-
trated three miles into the mountains
and are believed to be near the main
body of the 2O7 men who were entombed
by the explosion. Seven bodies were
found early to-day sitting upright in
train of cars. but up to a late hour no
other bodies have been recovered. There
is little hope that others will be found
alive.
The body of Charles Kesteron, one Of
the seven recovered, lay before the tele-
phone far to the rear OF the mine, where
he evidently had FASTENED to communi-
cate the news OF the explosion to the
surface.

JURY BOX FILLED
IN PACKERS CASE
Defense Prepares to Tender
Panel to Prosecution.

Chicago. Dec. u.-After peremptorily
challenging one talesman, because he
agred with William Jennings Bryan on
public questions, two others apparently
because they were farmers and cattle
raisers. and fourth for the double sin
OF being a faEmer and asleep, the defense
prepared to-day to tender back to the
government twelve men suitable to try
the Chicago millionaire beef packers.
II the defense makes good its evident
intention Of rendering the twelve men
now in the box, former jailer may sit
in Judgment over the case Of the pack
ers. A special ventre of fifty men was
summoned tonight.
The introduction Of the jailer into the
plot was rather dramatic for an instant.
William J. Thomas, a grocery clerk OF
Ottawa. was being examined. When
asked for his former occupation, he
drawled:
We'll. I used to be lookup keeper in
Ottawa. and before that 1 was the vii
lage marshal down in Seneca"
Millionaire row was complete at the
moment, every defendant dangling care
lessly out of his chair and consulting
about the jury. The words Jail and
taller brought the packers to attention
with a snap ]. Ogden Armours Jaw
dropped two degrees, and Thomas Con-
nor dropped his feet to the floor with
crash.
Every one IN the courtroom took a
deep breath, and then ripple Of laugh
ter relieved the tension. But Thomas
acquitted himself so well that it seemed
evident that the defense would accept
him. AS the talesmen now sit in the
box. there are but three farmers left.
The defense has made good its apparent
intention Of putting business men on the
