NIT Seeking Funds Elsewhere.

Representatives Of the American banking
interests who are associated with bankers

cate had suspended payments of funds to
the Chinese government. as an outcome Of
the latters course In negotiating a $500, 900
loan with an Anglo Belgian syndicate, 1t
is understood, however, that the -Four
Power syndicate will withhold further
financial assistance from China unless as
sured that the Chinese government will
not enter upon negotiations with other
financial interests.
The members OF the syndicate have al
ready made large commitments in China,
including the $90,OO0OOO railway loan Of
last year and 100000 recently in tempo
rary advances. and are ready TO advance
additional great amounts but they must
make a market for securities yet to be is
sued representing further advances, and
must protect the market for securities al
ready issued against loans, and they feel

terests that China should go aheld for
funds
Their objections to the action of the
Chinese government in making the Anglo
Belgian loan have been laid before their
respective foreign departments, including
the State Department at Washington.

Every attempt thus far to remove these

sistance from the strike sympathizers. In
spite of the protection afforded by police
men and deputy sheriffs, the railroad en-

efforts 10 draw the cars out OF the mill
yard with a switching engine. To-day two

was inadequate.

up OF eleven bales, was taken over the

PREVENT FIRE PANICs.
SAVE HUMAN LIVES.

In tho case Of confagrations panic is
ofter more disastrous than the fire itself
over 500 human beings lose their llVes
annually. not through being brought into
contact with the flames, but through
manic caused by fire. Notable instances
are the Collingwood School fire, the
Troouois Theatre holocaust In Chicago,
and the recent Triangle waist factory
horror in this city.
A startling contrast to these terrible
caIamitlcs was furnished by fire which
occurred on February 20 In the plant OF
the Bush Terminal Company, of Brook
lyn, the largest property or its klnd III
the world. This was only one OF many
fires under similar conditions which re-
suited I'm little or no loss owing entirely
TO some 100000 expended since 1905 for
fire protection appliances. The fire In the
Bush Terminal Company building started
I'm the rug and carpet manufacturing de-
rartment on the first floor Of the eight
story factory building, occupying one
half city block, and filled with en-
ployes OF various concerns. The auto
matte sprinkler contrivance with which
the Building was fully equipped sounded
the fire alarm on the opening of the
sprinkler heads. which started to extin-
guish the fire.
Firemen arrived to find a deluge Of
water playing on the fire from the
sprinkler equipment and the employees
on the seven upper floors rather enjoy
ing the experience Of watching fire
burning below them. There was no sem
hIance of a panic. The fire was entirely
extingulshed i'm twenty minutes and not
an amnlove above the first floor left the
building.
when fire. as shown i'm this instance,
can be prevented from spreading, doing
ereat damage and causing panic, the
money laid out in installing prohibitive
apparatus is well and humanely spent.
II generally adopted this contrivance
,v,u save millions in fire loss and over
200 lives each year. Great building eX-
ncrts have been urging proper fire pro-
tection for wears. and yet so-called fire.
nroof buildings go up and fire destroys
them. Insurance premiums were paid in
Manhattan and The Bronx totalling one
hmndred and seventy five millions of dol
,ors for the eleven years ending in 1910,
