SAVES TWO INVALID WOMEN
Policeman Nearly Overcome in
Making Rescues at Fire.

Two invalid women were saved from SUI
location by smoke yesterday while a fire
was burning In the basement of a four
story tenement house at No. 321I5 Pacific

smoke pouring from a window in the cellar.
He sent in an alarm and ran through the
house TO warn the tenants. Shortly before
the arrival of the firemen he heard that
two women living on the third and fourth
floors were still I'm the building.
Shaughnessey dashed into the house and
on the third floor found Mrs. Margaret

TO WARN PRIVATE BAN NKERS'
Van Tuyl Says Many Steamship
Agencies Violate Law.

Superintendent Van Tuyl of the State
Banking Department signified his intention
yesterday of writing formal letters of
warning to many of the so-called private
bankers" of the East Side. calling their at
tention to the illegal use of the word
bank" either in signs displayed in their
places of business, in their advertising
matter or in their passbooks.
The announcement was made after bank
examiners had investigated the methods of
several steamship ticket agencies and
banking houses.
Superintendent Van Tuyls examiners
covered the greater part of the territory
east Of Broadway and from Chatham
Square up TO 10th street. Many OF the
steamship ticket agencies. Superintendent
Van Tuyl says, need 20 be subjected to
rigid investigation. Many of these had
been bankers until the law requiring them
to procure a bond was enacted. and then
they were compelled TO abandon the title
Of bankers" and become steamship ticket
and exchange brokers" although in some
instances they are said to have led their
depositors TO believe that they were still
operating as bankers
Regarding the investigation OF the bank
ing business of the department stores the
report says:
Examiners visiting the big department
stores reported 10 the Banking Department
that certain of the larger establishments
were undoubtedly actively operating In the
banking line. while others were receiving
deposits of money for the purpose Of an
ticipating the purchase of goods
-Four OF the largest department stores in
New York City were rated as doing an ac-
tive banking business, but three OF the four
are co-partnerships independent of the cor
porations operating the stores. and are
therefore not subject to criticism. On the
contrary. one big department store is
corporation doing business in violation OF
the provisions of Section % of the general
corporation law, prohibiting the exercise Of
banking powers. This concern will receive
the attention of the department, and. un-
less the warning Is needed, the facts VIII
be laid before the District Attorney.
In the case of three other big department
stores in New York City the business con-
Quoted by the companies has been con-
strued to be a banking business under the
statute. but they have accepted this con
strlIction, and have filed their bond with
state Controller SOhmer Two Of the three
are undoubtedly operating in excess Of tho
authority given 10 such corporations under
the law.

I pany at the State House in Boston to-day
The conference was held in the presence
OF the legislative committee on concilia-
ton. President William y. Wood OF the
American Woolen Company told the strike

ceive the lowest rate of pay the increase
Will average between u and 10 per cent,
according to Mr.. Riley's report. He said
also that the mill officials had agreed to
have ready in two days plan of the pro-
posed scale Of wages which would show
j the amount Of the wage advance in dollars
and cents. This schedule will be presented
TO the strikers for consideration and an
effort will be made also to reach an agree
ment in regard TO the premium system

The police made no attempt to prevent
Inc departure to Philadelphia of forty chill

have rolled partly into creek. the de-

The locomotive remained upright on
the rails and word was sent as soon az
possible to division headquarters. at
Peru. Ind, and Decatur. III. Some de-
Law was experienced because wires were
torn down by the coaches as they rolled
over.
Wrecking and relief trains rushed 10
the scene from East and West and be-
gan the work of rescue. The wounded
were rapidly placed aboard special
train composed of two cabooses ana
hurried to Danville.
Several of the injured may die. and IL
is said that others may be dead in the
wreckage.
The train was going toward st. Louis.
and passengers were preparing to eat
dinner as the train approached the Red
wood bridge near the Illinois state linz.
Without Jolt at first, the whole train
seemed to swerve to one side, and then
the coaches rolled. crushed together and
piled up alongside the track. The bag
gage and mail cars suffered the most.
Nearly every passenger was hurt by
the rolling over of the cars. Those per-
sons in the coaches that were crusheo
suffered more severe injuries. one OF
two were killed instantly, but the
others were pinned down by seats or
splintered timbers and died more slowly.
Those who were unhurt soon dragged

Along the snowy banks Of the railroad

Office of the United States Attorney. Ihree
of Mr.. Wise's assistants, Goldthwalte H.
Dorr, Abel l. Smith and w. II. Pitkin, had
to devote more than six months or tneir
time exclusively to the Scheftels case. ana
a large number of expert accountants
clerks and agents OF the Department OF JUS
tice had also to assist in the case.
Mr.. Dorr said yesterday that the trlal
might have lasted two months more ana
that there was no possibility Of shortening
1t or foreseeing what the jury would do
The offence charged against the Schefteis
clique was using the mails TO defraud. IL
became necessary for the government 10
prove the fraud, which. it alleged, had con-
sisted in representations made that the firm
was one Of stock brokers, whereas 1t was
not. The government also charged that
Scheftels & Co. received secret profits on
the orders Of their customers. What the
action of the government meant and why 1t
accepted the terms made by Rice was ex-
planned by Mr. Wise, who said:
The defendants doing business as brokers
sought to create a market for certain stocks
OF which they held large blocks under op-
ton. These stocks they sought TO sell 10
their customers at inflated market prices,
with a secret profit TO themselves.
In consenting to the terms upon which
this case has been concluded, felt that the
Importance Of having such course OF busi-
ness that of these defendants adjudi-
Gated to be criminal was OF far more I'm
portance to the community than the ques-
tion OF how much or what character OF
punishment was meted out TO these partic-
ular defendants.
The firm Of B. II. Scheftels & Co.. who
conducted their fourishing business at No
A Broad street. was raided by agents Of
the Department of Justice on September
20, 1910. The estimate that Rice cleared
about s400, 900 before the business was
stopped by the authorities was said to be
a conservative one by men familiar with
the case.
Rice made a statement yesterday to the
effect that he was "broke" and that the
reason for his "capltulation" was his ina
bility TO secure more means and also his
desire to spare his companions. 1t was said
by some OF his followers that Rice has al
ready received offers of considerable sums
OF money to set him up again as soon as he
leaves the prison.
