SHOOTING GANGSTERS
CHASED BY THEOLOGS
Ministry Students Pursue
Fighting Gophcrs and Aid
in Ones Capture.

a group OF fashly dressed young men
stood in Twentieth street. between Ninth
and Tenth avenues opposite the General
Theological Seminary, shaking their fists
In each others faces. Their raised voices
attracted the attention OF half a dozen
seminary students. who wee reading on
the lawn in front OF the building.
As they watched. the group broke apart,
guns flashed and bullets spattered against
the seminary walls and clipped down the
street. causing chance passersby to scurry
for shelter. Then the men broke into a
run. zigzagging down the street toward
Tenth avenue. taking momentary shelter
behind trees and angles OF buildings, and
shooting as they went.
The students realized at once that an
other gang night had started In the Plaza
de la Gopher. as they have named that
section known as Chelsea Square. They
ran after the running. shooting gangmen,

NEW YORK BANKERS REPLY.
Financing in Nicaragua was En-
tireIy Honorable, They Say.

tirely Honorable, They say.
Tho banking houses of Brown Brothers
& Co. and J. & w. Seligman 4 Co have
sent TO Senator Benjamin r. ShivSly of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons letter In reply 10 the resolution
introduced early In the week by Senator
Smith OF Michigan calling for an investi-
CATION OF the bankers handling Of the
finances OF Nicaragua.
Every charge made by Senator Smith
In the preamble Of the resolution Is denied
by the bankers Tho letter says:
Generally speaking. the bankers have
not only not brought reproach upon the
American Government as charged. but
on the contrary they have without COM
pensation put through In Nicaragua a
credltable piece OF constructive financing.
''Thsy have aided Nicaragua to adjust
it's foreign debt at n reduced rate OF In
terest: they have assisted Nicaragua In
settling It's disordered currency; they have
aided Nicaragua in improving the colleo-
ton Of its customs revenues, which have
largely increased in consequence. They
have greatly improved the condition and
operation OF the railroad OF Nicaragua.
For the purpose OF making tho above
possible they have loaned large sums 70
Nicaragua from time to time and have
purchased 81 per cent. OF the stock OF its
national railroad and 81 per cent OF its
national bank.
The bankers have received no divi-
dends on the shares either OF the railroad
or tho bank. and neither enterprise IL q,
present in condition to declare divi-
dends.
The entire programme and the man.
ner of its execution We respectfully sug-
gest reflect credit on American banking
methods. We think II unfortunate that
baseless accusations should have been
made TO discredit American business meu
and their methods.
THE members OF our firms and their
books are at the disposal OF your com
mittee for any investigation you may
desire to make In this matter.

4 Peppery Statement.

Senator William Alden Smith issued a
peppery statement after the committee ad-
tourned to-day in which he charged that
Nicaragua was overrun with American Of
ficehoiders who had been forced upon
payrolls as the result OF the American in
PREVENTION there.
He forced an admission from Secretary
Bryan In the course OF the days hearing
that there was an unpleasant situation
OF this kind there. which Mr.. Bryan de-
scribed as another heritage from the
last Administration" but which he thought
could be cured II the Senate would only
ratify the treaty he had submitted
Senator Smiths statement given to the
press was as follows:
II assert without any hesitation that
the salary roll of American employees in
the republic OF Nicaragua will exceed
400. 900 a year. and I wouldn't be sur
prised II II was 100000. these salaries
being paid 20 Americans under pressure
OF our Government by the impoverished
Government of Nicaragua.

stimulated corn growing as nothing
that has cvlnc to our knowledge in re-

than 100 bushels per acre Of shel!ed
