 WHEN FIRM FAILS
Junior Member of Stringer & Co.,, Un- able to Face Financial Loss
 Ends Life With Bullet.

New Tor, Jan. e-G. F Stringer. Jr.. junior member of the stock ex- change firm of Stringer & Co.,, shot himself and died instantly in his of- flee shortly after the suspension of the firm was announced today on the floor of the stock exchange.
 To the sensational rise in wheat within the past few days was attribu- ted the failure of the firm by c. A. Decker, it's counsel. MT. Decker said that Stringer and company had been "badly caught on the short side" or the market and had failed for about s160,0O0.
 The firm of Stringer and company was organized May 23, 1912. It con- sisted of G. Stringer, Sr., and his son of the same name.
 A few minutes before the opening of the stock exchange today, Stringer, Jr., left his own office and entered that of Guanajuato Development company, in which the firm of String CT and company had an interest. When the exchange opened, the fail ure was announced. Not long after wards, the body of MT. Stringer was found lying on the floor under a desk in the development company's office, with a revolver a few feet away He had shot himself in the mouth.
 The firm did a commission busi- ness of small proportions. For some years past it had been interested in Mexican properties, especially mining companies. The unsettled political conditions in Mexico, it was said, em- barrassed the firm financially.

STOLEN JEWELS ARE
 FOUND IN TIN CAN
Articles Taken From Church Street Houses Monday Found by Boy
 in Vacant Lot.


 When the young son of Mr. and Mrs. c. H. Brown, of No. Short street, kicked over q rusty tin can in the lots behind his house this morn ing and saw roll forth a glittering mass of valuable jewelry, including watches, rings, pins and cuff links, his mind at once reverted back to the stories he had read of Captain Kidd and his hidden treasures, but more firmly implanted in young Browns mind was the teaching of his parents that honesty is the best policy so he gathered up the valuables and at once sought out Officer Charles Mccarthy to inform him of his find The officer turned the jewelry over to Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth and it de- veloped that it was the same that was stolen from two Church street houses Monday afternoon.
 Mrs. Carl Larson, of All Church street, and Mrs. Alfred Fresen of 450 Church street, went visiting Monday afternoon and when they returned they found that their rooms had been pilaged and several valuable articles were gone. The police were notified but the first inkling of where the goods were came when young Brown gave them to the officer today.
 The jewels in the old tin can which the boy found were wrapped intact in an old handkerchief and thrust into the rusty can and it was the merest chance that prompted young Brown to pick it up. Included in amongst the recovered articles are a ladys gold watch and chain, four valuable rings. two brooches, two lockets and chains and one set of gold cuff buttons

STATE POLICE HERE
 INVESTIGATING FIRE
Unusual Conditions Existing at Time Stanley Hcrbsts House Was
 Burned Being Investigated.

Intent upon ferreting out any mys- tery concerning the queer fire that destroyed Stanley Herbst's house at Overlook on Tuesday night, State Po- liceman Michael Bridgeman is here today conducting a careful investiga- tion. Accompanied by Fire Chief Robert M. Dame he visited the scene of the fire and asked numerous ques- tions of the neighbors and the Herbst family. Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth was also present.
 A number of unusual facts in con- nection with the fire of Tuesday night are thought to be significant by the police, and the firemen also are of the opinion that the fire which burned the house to the ground and also destroyed most of the furniture, was a curious one. The fact that Herbst is known to be financially em- barassed and only a few days before the fire visited an insurance agent to take out an additional pro- tective policy is thought to be a queer coincidence.
 At the time of the fire the chief of the department tried to ascertain it's origin but no one seemed to know and today, to the questions of the state policeman, ignorance was professed.

through the hands of the Austrian censor.
 In conformity with the Russian plan, the advices say, the Austrian columns pushing toward the Nlda rlV- CT found themselves stopped by dan gerous marshy ground. At the same time the Russians attacking CracoW suddenly abandoned their original plan but resumed their attack in totally unexpected manner.
 With the Russian army occupying the most important positions of the Carpathians from the side 'of Boch- nia, the Austrian army can advance no further toward Warsaw, Tor the only roads across the marshes are mined and strongly held by the Rus sians. On the other hand, the Aus trians arc obliged to defend Cracow, and because of the Russian maneu- vers, can only meet the Russians along the line from Wielichzka to Bochnia under the most unfavorable conditions.
 The Austrian commander, being un- able to discern whether the Russians intended to occupy Hungary or attack CracOw or both lost five or six days, and it is now too late, the advices say to carry out the movement of troops necessary to oppose the Rus sian maneuVerS.
