60 Years.

New York, n. Y-Directors OF the
United States Express Company have
voted unanimously to liquidate its al
fairs and dissolve it in the shortest
possible time.

embraces the representatives of the
leading interests in the company, in
Guiding Charles A. Peabody, president
of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany and the chief financial adviser
of the Hartman estate; William A.
Read, W. Murray Crane of Massac hu-
sets, former senator, and Haley
Fiske, vice-president of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company, was ap-
pointed to undertake the work Of dis.
solution
The precise means to be adopted
for realizing on the company's assets
were not disclosed, but it is believed
likely that a syndicate will be formed
to take them over, so that they may
be disposed of to the best advantage.
There have been various estimates
of the cOmpany's assets, but persons
familiar with their value declare that
the return to the shareholders will be
between $50 and 500 share. There
is considerable real estate OF value,
as well as costly equipment and out
standing contracts with railroads,
which it is expected will be trans
ferred to other express companies at
a fair profit.
The success OF the parcel post and
the recent order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, resulting in a
16 per cent reduction in express
charges, are held directly responsible
for the company's retirement from
business after sixty years of cont1nu-
Gus operation over some of the lead
ing railroads of the country.

Sacramento, Cal-After wrestling

reached an agreement which was de-
livered as a joint u1timatum.
The 600 or 700 men remaining OF
the army of the unemployed which
left San Francisco, under General
Charles Kelley, on proposed trans
continental march to Washington, D.
c., must dispense at once.
If they are willing to scatter peace
ably in bands of not more than fifty,
the citizens committee of Sacramento
will pay their fares to any point with

not be permitted to march in a mass
anywhere either out of or to any point

forced to take other measures"
A deserter from the army of the IN
employed, who slipped through the
sentries guarding the Sacramento
side of the river, brought word that
the men were fashioning clubs from
firewood and will meet force with
force. Pickhandles were used against
them in the last battle, which ended
in their rout.
A committee of two, representing
the two factions Of the army original

could come to no decision before

Angry DepOsitOrs in Failed
Banks Plan Attack on
New Yorker.
800 WAITED OUTSIDE COURT
Testimony of Department Store Mans
Extravaganza Excites Losers
Three indictments Returned.

New York, n. Y-Three hundred
angry persons stood in the corridors
of the Federal building here mutter-
ing threats of violence against Henry
Siegel, head of department stores in
New York, Chicago and Boston They
were the depositors in the banks,
operated in connection with the de-
parrment stores. Many Of them had
lost the savings of years in the col
lapse of the SiegeI stores.
SiegeI testified that he did not in
vest capital in the private bank, which
bore his name. He got about that
far in his testimony when Miss Jessie
Martin rose and announced that she
had right to represent the deposit
ors in the hearing. Miss Martin is
a young woman, who had aceumu-
lated several hundred dollars, with
which she intended buying a home.
When the SiegeI banks collapsed her
savings were swept away. She was
urged to remain quiet, but refused.
The United States marshal led her
from the room. Immediately three
hundred other depositors rose and
protested
We, who have lost our little all,
are the most interested in this easel"
shouted one man.
Despite their angry protests, they
also were ordered from the room
They gathered in front of the mar
shal's Office and shouted threats Of
violence against Siegel. Throughout
the hearing they prowled in the cor
ridors of the Federal building, threat
ening the department store man. One
little gray haired man, accompanied
by two children, climbed on a chair
and began to harangue the crowd.
Immediately it became a struggling
mob. Only by calling out the police
reserves we're they prevented from
forcibIy entering the courtroom and
attacking Siegel.
While Siegel was testifying in the
federal court the New York grand
jury returned three joint indictments
against him and Frank E. Vogel.
