'Rag-tinne Kid' Gives LOWdOWn
 on Dan M'CreW
Original Figure in Klondike Shooting Visiting in
 New York

"A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute Saloon; The kid that handles the music box
 was hitting jag, time tune. Back of the bar, in a solo game, sat Dangerous Dan McGrew. And watching his luck was his light
 o'-love the lady that's known as
 Lou"
 c'The shooting of Dan McGrew", by Robert w. Service.
 The kid that handled the music box on the night of that famous shooting scrape came to town yes terday. Still dapper but matured into something of philosopher, he gave the boys of the press the low down on just what happened when, according to MT. Service, the lights went out and two guns blazed in the dark.
 The rag time kid is Philip Ger shel, now seventy years old and a travelling salesman working out of Minneapolis for the No-Vary Pro- ducts Company, a grocery firm. He told the facts of the Dan McGrew case yesterday in his hotel room at the Hotel Barclay, III East Forty eighth Street Sitting there with an unlighted cigar butt between his fingers, his appearance was some what reminiscent of the days when he tickled the rattle-box in Dawson
 He Tilts His Cigar
 His head was bald in front and . large nose supported his glasses. When the cigar was not in his hand it struck from the corner of his mouth with a slight tilt. He wore . dark blue suit, blue tie, blue-and- white striped shirt and a stiff col lar. The tie was adosled with an Australian open stickpin and a size- able diamond sparkled on one fin ger.
 Service had a great imagination, he said. Tt was just a case of drunken jealousy. In the first place, it wasn't the Malamute Saloon as he said but the Monte Carlo Dance Hall. Service said There was none could place the strangers face" but it was Siwash Bill from over on Eldorado Greek. Service called the woman Lou, musta rymed better We used to call her Lii around the joint. And there was three shots fired instead of two. One of them went through my hat. I still got the hat"

story as the kid told it. He started his tale in South Africa and unfold ed strange career in leading up to the Klondike tragedy First he told of his participation in Jameson's raid, which led to the Boer War. If the raid had been successful, he said, he would have received some f1,500 and a grant of land. But 'after the surrender they were taken to England, where, although sen- fenced to years imprisonment they were released on parole with an al- lowance of f1 a day.
 Firing of England. he jumped his parole, came to New York and cross ed the continent to Seattle. There he and three others bought an outfit and joined the gold rush. They went over the Chilkoot Pass, built a log raft and drifted across Lake Ben nett and Lake LeBarge (where Sam McGee was cremated.

 T was gettin' $50 night in gold dust for playin the piano. Every morning I'd take my dust over to the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Ser vice was a clerk in the bank He'd spread the dust on a green cloth and run magnet over 1t to get the iron filings out. When he got through there'd be about $50 worth of dust left. Didn't pay to kick. though. Somebody's shoot your head off.
 Tt was in November or December of the winter of 1898. The joint was crowded when Siwash Bill walks in. He'd just come down from his claim and he was loaded for bear that night, drunk as a goat. He had on dungaree pants moccasins and a parka. He had full beard and long hair He hadn't shaved for months nor bathed either. A man didn't take a bath up there; took it off in superficial layers in the spring.
 T left the piano for something and after. having a drink at the bar Siwash Bill came over and play ed. He could play, too. No doubt about that fellow was from good stock. I was back at the piano when he started shooting. I didn't notice the lights go out, like Service said. This bird he called Dan Mo Grew, that wasn't his name, but he was miner, too.
 When Bill saw him on the dance floor with Lil or Lou, as Service calls her, he got lumbago of the tongue, frozen feet and rush of blood to his head and thought he was in love. He shot the miner first. Then think he took potshot at Lii. Anyway, he missed her and the bullet went through my hat. Lii

recently. contributed other market information, to-wit:
 The three Ritz brothers sold for 30 cents apiece, and drew two dol lars when all their signatures were on one piece of paper. Individually, the Yacht Club boys could not be sold at all, but were worth $250 on single sheet. Biggest individ- ual seller of the day was Michael Whalen who, at 75 cents, was sold 12 times. One woman bought four. Mems autographs, according to Will lie, generally sell better than wo- men's-because women most often are the buyers.
 Bargain Sale
 Marjorie McAtee, aged nine, is credited with one of the best recent sales. She sold five Shirley Tenn pies to a woman who wanted to take them home to her children. Quoted at a dollar which generally speaking is tops for grade A star the Temples were sold for $430 as a group, little Miss McAtee's spec ial bargain rate for the jubilant occasion.
 These youngsters. as can be sur missed, make good deal of spend- ing money besides adding to their own prized collectins. With first rate collection. and a good tourist hotel lobby to work from, a child has made as much as SIP in a week
 Pat O'Brien and Barbara Stan wyck, who always seem to find time to stop and sign for the fans, had better stop if they want to join the rare as well as popular auto graph group. And Charley Chaplin and of course Garbo-could sign a few more without hurting the young business men and women's feel ings.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Heavy in dustry drove home the riyets of bus mess improvement in 1896 with more force than any year since 1880.
 Sentiment may have been warmed by sharp retail gains, by the high est electric output ever recorded, by sweeping wage boosts, by the sud- den flood of extra and special year end dividends. But nothing did so much to buttress hopes of sustain ed progress as the gradual mount ing of the tide of orders for rails, construction steel, freight cars and locomotives.
 The years business story unfold cd as follows:
 JANUARY Following an unex- rectedly fast December pace, indus trial operations slipped back little. Invadidation of AAA brought a pass ing quiver of apprehension that farm prices might skid. Little happened as heavy farm purchases had al ready been sharply reduced, with the exception of cotton. Heavier tailroad buying helped cushion 2 fall in steel operations occasioned by slower automobile output
 FEBRUARY-Cold and blizzards boosted sales of winter merchandise and hoisted coal production to a six year peak, but cramped general bus mess and blocked freight move ments. Forerunner of other similar steps to come was registration by Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation of a $40,000,000 bond issue with the Securities Exchange Commission, largest issue yet filed for construc- tion funds.
 MARCH - Farmers cash income swelled to $523,0O0,000 for the month, from $479,000,000 in March, 1885. Floods put drag on operations in the important industrial regions Of the Ohio River basin and New Eng land Steel, coal, construction and railroads suffered worst. Trade in afflicted areas slumped. Elsewhere it expanded.
 APRIL - A financial crisis in France shook stocks lower. Flood losses in many sectors of industry were quickly made up. Motor sales spurted. Automobile makers stepped on production acceleration. Bene- ficiaries were producers of steel. parts, tires, accessories and gaso- line. Retailers did brisk, Easter trade.
 MAY-Motor makers drove stead- fly along. Steel mills held gains Cotton consumption hit
