STOCK MARKET IS
THROWN INTO PANIC
Wild Rush to Sell Sends All Is
sues Down Two to Twenty
Points.
STEEL DROPS BELOW PAR

New York, Feb. The widest rush
to sell stocks that has been seen on
the New York stock exchange since
the beginning Of the war reflected to-
day the stock market view Of Ger
many's announcement of its intention
TO resume unrestricted submarine
warfare. -.
Prices fell off under huge liquida-
ton from twenty to two points, the
wave of selling affecting all classes
of stocks. United States Steel, which
closed last night at liz, fell below par.
Apparent efforts to support the
market soon after the demoralized
opening proved ineffective until about
1880 o'clock, when there were some
signs Of rallying.
international Mercantile Marine is
sues were the heaviest sufferers, the
preferred selling at 65, off over u
points, and the common losing. 3
points to 20. 80
Prices fuctuated with extreme ra-
pidity during the early trading, Beth
iehem Steel registering an extreme
loss Of So points.
On the stock exchange the scene
was the most exciting of any ses-
sion since last December, when the
market was overthrown by Ger
many's peace proposals. Commission
houses were among the heaviest sell
ers, orders coming from all parts OF
the country.
The urgency of the selling indicated
that latest developments had aroused
grave apprehension in the most con-
servative quarters.
Prices crumbled again during the
early afternoon session, although the
selling was more moderate. Steel
fell back 3 points. The renewed liqui-
dation was attributed to reports from
Washington that break Between the
United States and Germany seemed
imminent.
At the close of the market slight
recoveries in recognized leaders were
offset by further losses in speculative
issues.
A break of 2A points in City OF
Paris 8 per cents to the low record
of 93 was the outstanding feature of
the bond market.
Total sale of stocks were estimated
at 100000 shares.

marily in. lded to prevent the pos

RUMORS SAY SHORT
GRAND JURY MEET
Unless Something Unexpected
Comes Up Session May {
Be a Short One.
CIGARETTE PROBE ON

The grand jury is star chambering
in well-organized fashion now, and
unless something bobs up, it is said
the body will wind up its meeting in
short time and give Omahans with
guilty consciences chance I to
breathe easier again. The body con-
tinued its examination of witnesses
yesterday afternoon, several persons
emerging from the room of mystery
and signing as if they had taken a
load off their minds.
Startling developments are said to
be expected to follow the grand jury's
thorough probe into the sale Of cigar
cts to minors and students and the
investigation OF dicing and petty
gambling in the districts contiguous
to educational institutions.
One of the witnesses subpoenaed
and called before the star chamber
body, the first to meet in Omaha in
two years, was a Creighton univer-
sity student who, it is understood,
testified as to the sale of cigarets
and shaking. The principals OF
two Omaha high schools were called
before the grand jury earlier in the
week, and rumor said that their tes-
timony was along the same line. 1t
is practically impossible TO buy the
little paper smokes in Omaha now
and dice boxes and their contents are
also disappearing.
Guard Against Leaks"
Four other witnesses besides the
Creighton students we're called before
the body Thursday morning to testify
in other cases. Those who entered
the mysterious portals on the fourth
floor of the court house and remained
behind the closely guarded doors for
a considerable length of time were:
J. c. Mcclure, assistant cashier of
the United States National bank.
Charles L. Dundy, an Omaha attor-
ney.
George w. Sterling, proprietor of
rooming house at Twenty second and
Webster streets.
James Whelan, garbage contrac-
tor.
Cases involving forgery, perjury
and bigamy are understood to have
been Investigated by the grand jury
Thursday morning.
Utmost precautions have been taken
by the body to guard against leaks"
Cupid's Caprice.
The grand jury wound up its star
chamber session early Wednesday. No
one seemed to know why at the time,
as it was rumored that the inquisi-
torial body had an important inves-
tigation on hand. The reason why"
came to light when it was ascer-
tanned that the little mischief maker,
Dan Cupid, had landed another vic
tim in the person of one of the jury
men.
Harry A. Cross, 4210 Harney street,
one of the jurors, had planned to
take unto himself a bride and he
couldn't see why little thing like
a berth on the grand jury, the first
to meet in Omaha in two years,
should interfere with the\ sounding
OF the wedding tocsin.
So the fifteen men paid their re-
spects to their fellow juryman who
was being indicted" for life by scat
tering to their respective homes and
places Of business shortly after noon.

Charleston, S. C., Feb. 1.-The
German freighter Liebenfels of the
Hansa line, tied up here since the be-
ginning OF the war, began sinking
slowly at 9 o'clock this morning and
marine men believed it had been scut-
tied. This belief seemed to be borne
out by the fact that the captain de-
clined the aid of tugs.

TURKISH JUSTICE"
Curious Case of a Man Who Was Gull.
nf H. nanrhfor

Curious Case of Man Who Was Gull.
ty of Having a Daughter.
| Dr. Clarke, a famous traveller of
about century ago, tells of the fol-
lowing remarkable case, which was
tried at the Greek island of Cos: A
young man desperately in love with
girl of Stanchio eagerly sought to mar
ry her. but his proposals were rejected.
In consequence of his disappointment
he bought some poison and DESTROYED
himself. The Turkish police instantly
arrested the father of the young wo-
man as the cause, by implication, of
the mans death. Under the fifth spe-
cies of homicide he became, therefore.
amenable for this act of suicide
When the case came before the mag
lstrate 1t was urged literally by the
accusers that IF he (the accused had
not had daughter the deceased would
rot have fallen in love; consequently
ne would not have been disappointed;
consequently he would not have swal-
lowed poison; consequently he would
had daughter, and the deceased had
fallen i'll love, and had been disap-
pointed, and had swallowed poison.
and had died"
Upon ell these accounts he was call
ed upon to pay the price of the young
mans life, and this, being fixed at the
sum of 80 piasters. was accordingly
eXacted
Another instance was related to DR..
Clarke. which occurred at the island of
Salhos, as characteristic feature of
Turkish justice-that is to say, a So
phlstical application of a principle rig
idly founded upon this fifth species Of
homicide by implication" The Capu-
dan Pasha reasoned with the people of
Samos on the propriety of their paying
for Turkish frigate which was wreck
ed upon their territory and the crew
lost because the accident would not
have happened unless their island had
been in the way."-Case and Comment

FOUR TYPES OF MEN.
French Method of Picking Soldiers For
Special Lines of Work.

French Method of Picking Soldiers For
Special Lines of Work.
"A good judge of human nature is
born and not made" declared DR.. G..
Stanley Hall, president of Clark uni
7efslty. Baseball scouts are not able
to tell how they pick men; neither can
any employer tell low he picks his
men,"
DR.. Hall described the French system
OF dividing men into four general types
and selecting them for particular posi-
lions in the army accordingly. He said:
First. - The digestive type. 1t is
,, characteristic of the heavy jaw, broad
abdominal region. Such men require
more food, need it regularly, must be
well fed. Such men are best on the de-
fensiye They are hard to dislodge from
the trenches.
"Second.-The respirato tory type Nos
trils and ears are large; large, long
chest; demand plenty Of pure air; get
FESTIVE under confinement. Such men
are selected for work on high noun
tains. They are good in the charge, In
making an attack. Such men exclusive
ly are selected for the aviation corps.
"Third.-The muscular type. Head Is
square, limbs long and strong, body
short. This type is good for the bayo-
net charge in the artillery service.
"Fourth.-The nervous type. Large
head tapers down to sharp jaw. Such
men have power to draw upon their re-
serves. They can get their second wind.
The really great are men Of this type.
Along with this type is closely associat-
ed willingness to sacrifice self for the
good Of others.
Children and animals are guided by
the desire to gain pleasure and avoid
pain. As they grow older they should
learn to bear present pain for future
pleasure" -Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

The largest potato crop ever produced in
this country is the promise of the monthly
crop report Just issued. Leon M. Estabrook,
Chief of the Bureau of Crop Estimates of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, stated that the average produc-
ton for the previous five years u911-
1879 was 1868, 600, 600 bushels, which rep
resents fair crop. This year the indica-
tons are that there will be crop of 467, =
900, 900 bushels, which is 100, 600, 600 above
the average.
This is equal to one bushel extra for
every man, woman and child in the coun-
try.
In order to avoid waste, officials of the
Department of Agriculture suggest two
ways of taking care of this large increase
First, all housewives are urged to use
potatoes as far as possible as a substitute
for breadstuffs.
Second, to preserve the potatoes for
winter use by home storage.
These measures, it is stated, will not
only use the potatoes to advantage, but
will save wheat-G. M. Twitchell, in
