S|EGEL EMPLOYEES
WILL RECEIVE Jobs
Other New York Merchants to
Hire CIerks-Pathetic
Scenes Enacted.

NEW YORK. March 14.-More than
two-thirds of the $500 employees Of the
bankrupt Siegel department stores in this
city will be discharged at the close OF
business tonight. but it is estimated that
not more than 200 will be 0at OF work
Monday third OF the force was re-
the stocks of the stores, and the dis
missed. many of them desperate, founo
that other merchants generally were
quick with offers of work. The entire
auditing department OF the 14th street
store has been employed by a large firm
Of retail and wholesale druggists.
Contrary TO the general belief all OF
the clerks who are to be discharged to-
night will leave the stores with their
weekly nav checks Arrangements were
made by the receivers to provide for these
payments.
Take Inventory of Stocks.
At the 14th street store the inventory
was begun today. Many of the girls were
measuring bolts of goods and pinning
tickets on them. The stocks are valued
at more than million dollars.
The girls in the Simpson Crawford store
who had not obtained employment were
given permission to leave work for an
hour to apply at other department stores
in the neighborhood. No announcement
was posted In either of the stores that
they would be closed tonight. AT the
14th street store a half dozen girls VINO
evidently had not read the newspapers APP
piled for positions.
Pathetic scenes were frequent today In
the 18th street store and the simpson
Crawford store, which will close for good
tonight by order of the court
Hearts Not in Work.
The employees generally reported as
usual, but 1t was plain that their hearts
were not in the work, as they waited on
the bargain hunters, who came in goodly
numbers A iull in the work would find
a gathering of little groups discussing
the trouble that had overtaken them.
and girl or woman in tears was not an
infrequent sight.
Hundreds of the store clerks, it APP
pears, besides losing jobs. will lose their
savings. They were depositors in a small
way in the defunct Siegel Bank, their
accounts averaging from S2o to $500.
Moreover. the sick benefit fund of the
two stores is swallowed up in the crash.
Employees contributed 2 per cent of their
salaries to this fund.
Besides the criminal proceedings against
Henry Siegel and Frank E. Vogel, the
affairs of the concerns which they headed
here are likely to be tied up with end
less litigation.

Blames Faulty Land Law.

Such a partial surrender of the public
welfare ought never to have been made
necessary. Responsibility for its having
been made necessary rests directly upon
the faulty land laws passed by the Con-
gress of the United States.
II am not able to identify the second
case mentioned-the exchange with the
Northern Pacific railway-but | presume
there is as little basis for it as the first.
1t was the infamous lieu land law passed
by Congress, and which ! had as much
as any other man to do with getting re-
pealed, which was responsible for that
exchange"

MSS AI THAT'S
NECESSARY TO
Make MARRIAGE


New York. July 11.-You did not
have to get license few years
ago. nor did you have to undergo an
ordeal before minister in order to
become the husband OF a woman. All
you had to do Was to place your arms
around her neck and kiss her square,
'ly on the lips. 1t was all over then.
This is on the authority, OF SUI
preme Court Justice Grecnhaum The
decision was occasioncd by an appeal
FLOR alimony on the part of Mrs. EN-
the manner above stated-of August
Hall, famous as Diamond Gus"
Hall, the present owner of the Hope
diamond. Mrs. Hall wanted $1,000 a
month and got 500. She alleged
that Mr.. Hall had deserted her and
that he had failed to provide her
with the necessary things Of life. The
failure. alleged Mrs. Hall. was not
due to the fact that her spouse had
mot the whcrewithal.
\ He wears diamonds on his sus-
penders, in his buttons. in his shoes.
and then he has lot OF them in his
pocket He is the owner of dia-
mond that is worth one-Quarter mil
lion dollars. but all that Mrs. Hall
has seen of 1t is diagram.

Occasionally one sees pitcher
turn suddenly ana hurl the ball to q
base to catch a runner. He may not
have even looked in the direction OF
the sack before his throw, yet he
seems to have known that the run
ner was taking liberties. He has
gotten his tip from the catcher, who.
with the field in front of him, does
much in the matter Of keeping his
twirlers informed by signs as to the
lead base runners are taking.
Of course, an extensive and COM
