FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcH1

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHl NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Bear traders took the stock market in hand at the beginning of bushes today and brought about a continuation decline. Union Pacific was forced down one point and other active features receded nearly as much. Rock Island common, preferred shares touched new low figure for the present decline. In spite of the com- parative readiness with which the market responded to selling pressure the bears did not press their advant age The steady demand for stocks at the lower level was not to their liking Eforts to get back stocks sold caused an upturn and prices gradually recov- cred the ground lost.
 Trading was of listless character throughout the session. There was disinclinatiOn to make fresh Committ- ments because the stock exchange will not be open on Monday until noon. The still further restrict the trading here.
 The showing by the banks on the weeks actual cash gain of nearly $3,50O, 000 was closely in line with the forecasts. The shifting of the burden of the loans was reflected in the loan decrease of nearly $1O,000, 900 and more than $5.000. 900 was added to surplus which was nearly doubled. Bonds were inclined to weaken again with Rock Island refunding four under marked pressure. Total sales represented a par value of $549,00O.

LANTERN CAUSE OF BAD BLAZE
Over $35OO Worth of Fur niture and Household Belongings of Dr. A. B. Nichols Destroyed By Sunday Evening Fire.

That a lantern exploded and ignited a quantity of kerosene oil standing in an open bucket. is believed by pr A. B. Nichols. of BPS East Winetta street, to have been the cause of a fire at nine o'clock last evening" which resulted in the destruction Of about $3. 300 worth Of furniture and household belongings. stored in a corrugated iron garage at the rear of the handsome new residence now in the course of construction With in d few seconds after the explosion the entire interior of the structure was a seething mass of flames and there was little work for the firemen to do after their long run, beyond dampening down the roaring blaze
 While the new residence was being erected. Dr Nichols had his family at the coast, and for purposes of protection was sleeping in the garage. All the furniture had been removed from their former residence on West Washington and had been stored in the garage.
 Last evening Dr. Nichols had driven his automobile up to the door of the garage and had proceeded to clean up the tail lamp. He had a quantity or kerosene OH Tn pail and had just finished filling the lamp Inside the garage hung a lantern which was burning Having filled the lamp, the doctor placed the oil pail just inside the door and stepped back to the machine An instant later there was flash and a burst of flame There was just time enough to draw out an old trunk standing near the door be- hn int flames. Dr. Nichols attempted to reach the telephone just inside the door but was driven back by the flames.
 After the fire Dr. Nichols said that the furniture and other belongings in the building, all of which were de- stroyed, were valued at about $3.5OO, upon which he carried a small amount of insurance. The fire de- partment responded to the telephone alarm sent in from a neighbours tele- phone, making the long run in quick time.

AN |NCEND|ARY
 STARTED BLAZE
Fire Which Destroyed Wall Paper and Paint Store house Now Known to Have Been Caused By Burglars.

That the fire which destroyed the two room wall paper and paint store house of Charles N. Higgins at Sev- Cnth avenue and Grant street shortly before one o'clock yesterday morning, was of incendiary origin, seems to have been established beyond reason able doubt. In fact an investigation conducted yesterday by Fire Chief Sullivan disclosed the fact that men were seen trying the front door of the building just before midnight, later effecting entrance and then leaving the building, carrying a quantity of goods which had been stored inside. It was but a few minutes after the men left that the building was found to be in flames
 The structure is located just back Of the house occupied by Higgins and his family. It faces south on Grant street near the corner of south Sixth avenue It was from the house on the opposite side of Grant street that an aged resident saw the men en- gagged in entering the store and after ward depart. Because of the age of the man who saw the burglars at work and further due to the fact that he had no telephone in his house i1 the reason given for not giving an alarm when the men were in the building.
 It was scarcely a week previously that the building had been broken into and large quantity of goods removed Higgins boarded up the building as he thought securely, and placed heavy lock on the front door. Just how the men gained entrance upon the occasion just preceding the fire is not known, nor just what goods they secured cannot be ascer- tained. When the department ar rived the structure was in a mass of flames and the contents were entire ly destroyed.
 Some shots were heard m the neighborhood a short time before the fire alarm was sounded, and while these were at first thought to have some connection with the fire, it has been ascertained that they were fired at some distance from the scene evi- dently by a party of MeXicans en- gagged in a Saturday night jollifica- ton.

head and smashed the frontal bones and lodged under the skin.
 Noriega was at one time q deputy marshal at Glendale. but it is said he was so irresponsible that the town council took away his commission and ordered him to cease carrying gun. According to his friends he has always carried gun and has at various times threatened to clean up the town unless the MeXicans ac- ceded to his wishes. He has had several quarrels with Walker over political questions and he made so many threats against Walker that the latter applied, as late as last Saturday evening. to Justice of the Peace Hawk for permission to carry a gun for the purpose of protecting himself against Noriega.
 Walker bore a very good reputation in Glendale and prominent merchants stated yesterday that his word was as good as his bond. He was quiet and sober and never has been in any trouble with the authorities.
 B. F. Marks has been retained as attorney for the accused man and announced last night that his client will make a plea of self defense.

l look for a very close, exciting series In my opinion the winning club will be the one that gets the early break in the play. You can't elminte the breaks in baseball. and in a series as important and as short as the worlds championship it has always proved a very prominent factor. In all the ser ies in which I have taken part it has always been present. Sometimes the breaks came our way and then again it helped the other fellows, but I never knew the time when it didn't play leading part.
 For that very reason I have always held that seven game series be- tween two clubs of the calibre of the National and American League pen nant winners was not as decisive as it should be. Fully fifteen games would be necessary to my mind, to decide positively which was the better club Unfortunately, however such a long drawn out series would fail to hold in terest Coming at the end of a seven months season eighty per cent of the fans of the two cities would lose in- terest in the play before the completion of the play. It has been suggested that playing several of the games in cities other than those directly inter ested might solve this problem. I have no doubt that Pittsburg, Chicago and Washington would turn out big crowds for on game each, even though the Athletics and Giants were the contend ing teams. It's a difficult problem to please both player and spectator, but I believe that eventually a more satis- factory method will be evolved for de- ciding the worlds championship"
 Should the New York and Pnlladel- phia clubs win their respective league pennants, the worlds series of 1913 will be in the nature of a rubber" At present each has a worlds champion ship title won at the expense of the other. The Giants quickly nipped the championship aspirations of the Ath- letics in their initial meeting of 1905. Under the direction of McGraw the New York team won four of the five games played, all of which were shut outs. Six years later Connie Mack se- cured his revenge for the Athletics and won four out of six games from the Giants.
 Of the players who engaged in the series of 1905, Bender, Plank. Davis and Murphy are still enrolled with the Athletics. although the latter two are seldom in the regular lineup. Math- ewson and Wiltse are the only Giants of those days who still wear the New York uniform. It is a singular feature of the game that Bender and Mathew son. the respective club heroes of 1905 series, are still past masters of the art initial clash and may face each other during the play next october, unless an eleventh hour rush by one of the otEer league clubs upsets the predic- tions of the baseball prophets. To date the worlds series has been an excel lent financial proposition for the. New York and Philadelphia clubs and play CTS The two series netted the club owners $214,37 and the players $155, ,304S1.

The Crime of Thau

The killing of Stanford White by Harry Thaw, the speedy indictment of the young scion of one of Pitts burg's most prominent families, the : trial at which his pretty actress wife laid bare the story of her ruin at the hands of the eminent architect. the unwritten law defense of "dementia Americana" the commitment of Thaw to the state hospital for the criminal insane and the numerous unsuccess- fuI efforts to secure ThaW's release from the institution. all combined to make one of the most sensational in cidents that ever grew out of the bohemian circles of New York's great white way. District Attorney Will liam TraVers Jerome took personal charge of the case from the begin ming, conducting the investigation up- on which he based the prosecution, and then fighting the case in it's myriads of phases, even after he had retired from the office of prosecutor in Manhattan.
 It was on the night of June g, 1906. during the performance of the musical extravaganza. 'Mademoiselle Champagne" on the roof of the Mad isOn Square Garden in New York. that Stanford White. member of the firm of McKim, Mead and White, New York architects, was shot by ThaW, who with his wife. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, had gone to the gar den, ostensibly to witness the per formance. Thaw and his wife took seats at a rear table Thaw appeared to be very nervous and several times he got up and walked about the roof.
 ha nf 10 ium where the tragedy occurred say they saw Thaw leave his table and walk down to a couple in front The first intimation of trouble came when walking in front of his seated victim. ThaW exclaimed: You deserve this; you've ruined my home" and drawing an automatic revolver, fired three shots. The first two shots took ef- feet. but as the third was discharged the gun was struck upwards by q fireman on duty and the bullet went skyward.
 White without a sound, slipped to the floor the chair and table falling on top of him. The audience broke into a ripple of applause. The wom- en nearby, seeing what had happened and the blood flowing from the mans wounds, screamed. Two of the girls on the stage fled screaming into the wings.
 Get back into line" roared the stage manager, so that all heard it. One of the girls started back, but she again fled to the wings, while two of the remaining four, seeing the cause of the trouble. fell over in a faint The curtain was ruhg down quickly.
 Well, he ruined my wife, and I got him." was all that Thaw said after the shooting and before he was removed to the police station.
