statement bitterly arraigning Siegels
business methods and marital conduct.
1t follows in part:
My married life with Mr.. Siegel was
full of trials and tribulations. Suffice
it to say that l endeavored in every
way to guard and protect him from his
own weaknesses and his lack of con-
sideration for the feelings and rights
of others.

dentally of the dealings of Mr.. Siegel
with the moneys of depositors in his
bank, and | Immediately demonstrated
and warned him, as l thought that 1t
was my duty to do, that he vas facing
jail He ragged like a mailman and
treated me shamefully; worse, II pos
sible, than ever. This continued for
several weeks, when he changed his at
titude toward me, and at dinner
party, at which Frank Vogel was pres
ent, he made light of my predictions
and endeavored to convince me that
had been misled and misinformed, and
that l was unjustly suspecting him.

citizen, seeking only the welfare and
advantage of those with whom he was
connected.
THE pretense by Mr.. Siegel that he

relevancy in the present proceedings.

ICE CRUSHEs SHIPS; 800 DIE
Disaster Overtakes Sealing Vessel
Newfoundland and the Southern
Cross in North.

New York, April A private mes
sage received here on Thursday from
ST. Johns, N. F., says the steamer New
foundland was caught in a blizzard
while sealing just south of Belle Isle
strait and over one hundred of her
crew were frozen to death. The Red
Cross steamer Florizel picked up so
men dead and dying after the New
foundland sank. The total loss OF life
on the Newfoundland is about one
hundred and seventy. Steamers in
the vicinity picked up several bodies
and few of the crew who had sur
vived on the ice foes to which they
escaped when their vessel went down.
Fifty of the crew have been accounted
for in this manner Most of them
were dead when discovered and sever
al others were dying.
There is no news from the sealer
Southern Cross and this ship also is
supposed to be lost with all on board"
says the message. IF so, the death
list on the two boats will exceed three
hundred.
The sealing fleet sailed for the ice
field on March 10.
The Southern Cross is the ship
which Shackleton used in his antarctic
expedition"

eral reserve bank located in the city
of Chicago, Ill
This district contains 984 national
banks. which have accepted the pro-
visions of the federal reserve act. The
capital stock of the federal reserve
bank of Chicago, on the basis of five
per cent of the total capital stock
and surplus of the asserting ma
tional banks amounts to $12,664,-
1907 and if there be added six per
cent. of the total capital stock and sur
plus of the state banks and trust COM
panies which have applied for mem
bership up to April 1, 1914, the total
capital stock will be $13, 1923.
The selections contain some sur
prises. 1t was not thought that both
Boston and Philadelphia would be
named. The choice gives three re-
serve banks to a comparatively linn
tied area, in addition to the national
reserve board in Washington. Cleve-
lands conquest over Cincinnati was
not expected. though the former city
now leads the latter in point of popu-
lation. Cincinnati is the older town,
has more wealth, and has enjoyed
superior financial prestige.
Dallas contest with New Orleans
was not taken seriously by bankers,
but the claims OF the Texas city have
prevailed with the treasury officials,
who have seen advantages over New
Orleans unknown to the general finan-
cial community: In other respects the
locations chosen are considered salts
