Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Df Chkngo Trade says: , "Easter trade In tho principal branches of distribution equals san guine expectations. A high volume of payments through the banks Is sus talned and the trading defaults fur nish a favorable comparison with pre vious years. Buying In the leading re tail lines rose to new high proportions during the week, and -business gener ally reflects the quickening derived from the advent of spring and the re markably fine weather which prevails here and throughout the West. "New building and heavy construc tion are vigorously advanced, and there are notable additions to workers en;ploed at the mills and factories. Activity among the industries and in .runnportatlon now compares satisfac torily with the best previous times, while the Improving position draws jtrength.Jor the future from the wider range of new demands for finished products. "learnings of the Chicago Bteain roads surpass all former gross records for this season of the year, and threat ened difficulties with workers are re moved by higher wage concessions. "Offerings of commercial paper have Increased, and the discount rate rose to 4Vi per rent for choice names. "Hank clealngs, $280.46.",077, exceed those of the corresponding week in 1!(0!) by 12.7 per cent and compare with $222,409,514 In 1908. Failures reported In the Chicago district numbered 24, as against 20 last week, 34 In 1909 and 39 In 1908. Those with liabilities over $5,000 number 107 as against 2 last week. 9 in 19U9 and 12 in 1908." NEW YORK. The week's developments have beer, generally favorable. Chief among these have been the advent of warm spring weather, which, coupled with the near approach of Easter, has stimulated re- I tali trade at all markets, allowed of ! expansion in the building trades, the preparation of the ground in the North for planting, the beginning of seeding of grain and cotton at the South and of oats and vegetables in the middle regions of the country. The industrial situation, too, has materially . im proved In the collapse of the sympa thetic strike at Philadelphia, the re turn to work of many thousands of idle handB there.'and the submitting of the Western railroad men's demands to arbitration. Business failures In tin United Slates for the week ending March 24 were 231, as against 208 last week. 226 in the like week of 1909, 286 In 1908. 166 In 1907 and 169 In 1906. BradBtrcet's.

WW SCENE OP ' ' ', ii ifrftifi-i(miv m fci-M-iiiiifn fiiii'inriii ROOSEVELT SPEAKS HIS MIND. Egyptian Nationalists Told People Are Not Ready for Independence. Condemnation of assassination and a declaration that nations as well as individuals need long and careful preparation for self-government were two of the most striking features of Colonel, Theodore Roosevelt's address In the assembly hall of the University of Egypt in Cairo the other morning. On both subjects he had strong words to utter, burning words that went to the kernel of the Egyptian political muddle. He uttered these words against t3 advice of missionaries and officials, both native and English, who feared that the result might be personal harm. Every effort was made to dis suade Colonel Roosevelt from talking on either of these subjects, but he resolutely declined to alter his ad dress, his ultimatum being: "If I cannot say what I believe to be true then 1 won't speak." He spoke and emerged saTely, his speech being cheered to the echo, although not by the students, because they were not Invited to be present, owing to the ap prehension felt by the government offi cials. The extreme Nationalists, who ad vocated force, resentful at Roosevelt's strong words delivered at the univer sity, held a secret Indignation meeting at night. They denounced Colonel Roosevelt. The situation Is pregnant with grave possibilities. The police Immediately Issued orders to take ex treme precautions to protect Mr. Roose velt. TOTAL COTTON SUPPLY SHOWN. OitHua Hurrau I'lneen Six Munth a' Klitnre at 1 1 ,..", :41 1. The census report shows the total supply of cotton for the six months ending Feb. 28 to have been 11,5:.2,361 running bales.

The number of bales held on Sept. 1, 1909, was 1.483,585; ginned during the six months' period, 9,974,998; net Imports, 93,778. Another radical move on the part of the aufl'i'UKe udvocates which Is receiv ing much attention in the eastern part of the country Is an organization of "olleKe women at WelleBley, Smith, Yasfar, liryn Mawr, Iladcliffe and oth- ,r colleues for women, the member of A-hlch promise not to get married un til she shall have won over to the cause at least COO men. "I huve nothing to conceal In con nection with my activities In behalf of legislation providing for the pay ment of subsidies for the upbuilding of the American merchant marine," said James T. McCleary of Minnesota In commenting upon the report that the committee on the judiciary might ubpoena him us a witness In an ef fort to uphold the charge that unusual methods were followed In an effort to press this legislation through Con gress. Pome of the aggressive women of Chicago have now formed an orKanlza tlon the slogan of which Is "No vote, no tax." and when certain women property owners appeared In line at the city collector's ottlce the other day members of this new league picketed the line and prevailed upon the wom en to go home and leave their taxes unpaid. The pickets distributed cards containing the following sentiment: "If you can't be persons and citizens it voting time, don't be persons and citi zens at taxpaylng time." Olllurt M. Hitchcock, editor of the Omaha World-Herald, announced that Wllllum J. liryan had given his word that ho would keep out of the next race for a Nebraska seat In the I'nlted States Senate. Hitchcock, who has been three terms a member of Con gress, will now run for the Senate. That definite plans iWe now being made for a battle to prevent the re nomlnatlon of Senator Robert M. I Kollette. was shown when William D. Connor, former Bute chairman, who manured Senator Follette' first uocossful campaign, made a state ment declaring he might manage the e-mpaln aalnst Senator La FolletU.

Chicago will not vote upon the ques tion of discontinuing the licensed sa loon and substituting prohibition at the aldermanlc election this spring. The Board of Election Commissioners threw out the monster petition of the Anti-Saloon League celling for the sub mission of the question to the electo rate. The commission held the "drys" to be short 19,233 of the 63,511 names necessary to give the petition a legal status, declaring that out of the 74, 026 names appearing on the petition 26,128 were not those of registered le gal voters and 3,620 were "doubtful." The commissioners did not go into the question of some 2,200 obviously fic titious names, 1,200 duplications and 6,700 forgeries charged by the 'wets" who filed objection to the petition. DUPLICATES CUDAHY ATTACK. Knnaaa City Man Slnnhea Wlfe'a Companion Third Caae of Kind. For the third time within a few weeks in Kansas City an angry hus band encountered his wife and a man companion and slashed the man with a knife when C. P. Oard, a piano sales man, met Mrs. Oard at her home early the other morning after she had been "joy riding," It Is alleged, and, after bombarding the two men who accom panying her with bricks, cut one of them. The first affair of this kind was that In which "Jack" Cudahy attacked Jere LUlis, banker and clubman, when he found him In his home with Mrs. Cudahy. The second occurred on a recent night when Dr. J. E. King trailed his wife and William A. Young, an actor, to Swope Park and slashed Young. , NO CUDAHY PROSECUTION.

Cudahy, the packer, up on Jere LUlis, the banker, was dis missed in the Municipal court In Kan sas City by Daniel Howell, assistant city attorney. Mr. Howell made no comment further than to say the case should not have been brought In the Municipal court. Brown Underwood, the patrolman who was caled to the Cudahy home the night Lillls was at tacked, was the only witness to appear. The case had been continued twice be fore. KENTUCKY-INDIANA LINE OPEN.

The first through electric car from Louisville, Ky., to South Bend, arrived there the other evening, marking an Important epoch In the history of elec tric railroads In this part of the coun try.

David Josiah Brewer, associate Jus tice of the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States, dropped dead in the bath room of his home, 1923 16th street, Washington, a few minutes after 11 o'clock the other night. Heart dis ease Is believed to have been the cause of death. Justice Brewer apparently had been In the best of health. He was seventy three years old and had been a mem ber of the Supreme Court since Decent ber, 1889. He was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, where his parents were residing as missionaries. He was a graduate of Yale College. He was ap pointed to the Supreme bench from Kansas. It is within the range of posslbill ties that the death of Justice Brewer will have far-reaching effects on im portant cases now pending before the Supreme Court. Justice Brewer was one of the progressive members of the court and inclined to a liberal con struction of the laws. He sat in both the tobacco and Standard Oil case- both of which are on the eve of being decided. It has been the general ex pectatlon that the vote of the court in both the tobacco and Standard Oil cases would be close. With Justice Brewer now dead there is a lively possibility that conditions may be re versed one way or the other over the decisions as they would have been ren dered had Justice Brewer lived. FIRE COSTS 250 LIVES. Gay Scene Is Turned Suddenly Into One of Horror. Two hundred nnd fifty people were killed and many others were Injured In the village of Oekorerlte, Hungary, when fire broke out In a hotel at which a ball was being held. A coach house connected with the hotel had been fit ted up as a ballroom, and at night was crowded with several hundred guests when the Are started. It was noticed first when a woman's dress was seen to be ablaze and a moment later the gowns of several other wom en were in flames. A panic followed and in a mad rush to the exits many persons fell and were trodden to death by others. The roof fell before the hall could be cleared and many in jured persons and those who because of the crush at the doors had been pre vented from escaping were buried with the dead in the ruins. Dr. Edward Meyer, professor of an clent history at the University of Ber Un and one of the greatest living his torlans, is giving a series of lecture before the students of the University of Wisconsin. A lively discussion is in progress In Japan In regard to the advisability ot adopting the Jury system. Even among the members of the legal profession opinion Is divided, but If anything the balance appears to be against the In novation. A German south polar expedition virtually has been arranged by Lieu tenant 1-ilchner, of the general staff o; the army, under the auspices of th geographical society. Lleutenan l-'llchner announced that the expsdi tlon would start In October of thi year, ir tne necessary iunils were forthcoming. The announcement that there will be no Home Rule bill presented to tho present session of Parliament, while not unexpected, caused regret In Ire land, and it is recognized now that it may mean another election before Ire land will be given the riht to govern herself.

PEASANTS FLEE FP.0M HOMES Vineyards and riold3 for Miles Around Devastated by Eruption and Accompanying Quake. An official report upon volcanic dis turbances in the Mo'j;il Etna district confirms reports that the situation la grave, but holds out the hope that the worst Is ovei.. The craters that prop erly may be described as now appear to be only four In number. These have opened at the foot of Mount Cas- tellazzo, four miles in the air line from the summit of Mount Etna. .The four streams emitted from these eratera h8ve united at the foot of Mount Cas tcllazzo and formed a great river of lava, that Is bringlDg death and des olation into the invaded districts. Plants tr?es, whole vineyards and or chards have been destroyed by the consuming flood. The lava river has extended nearly fifteen miles from it source. In the path of the advancing flood the people are in great terror and thousands abandoned their homes. The roaring of Mount Etna continues with out interruption and a rain of cinders fell for miles around. Several houses of peasants already have been de stroyed and it is feared that if the flow does not cease soon the flood will enter Borrelo. Caravans of peasants carrying all their household goods and all of their transportable possessions are moving to places of safety. In their distress they present a pathetic sight. At many homes the molten mass has entered the cisterns and caused de structive explosions. GIRL IS BURNED ALIVE. Ruth Wheeler Not Dead When Put in Fireplace, Says Physician. That Ruth Amos Wheeler, the 16- year-old stenographer who went seek ing employment the other day, and whose charred body was found on a fire escape at 224 East 75th street. New York, was burned to death by the slayer, was the statement made by Dr. O'Hanlon, coroner's physician. This assertion came after an autopsy had been made. Dr. O'Hanlon found the lungs congested and a deep mark on the right side of the neck, evidently made by a rope when the murderer sought to strangle his victim. Dr. O'Hanlon said: "Over the right nos tril and on part of the face I found the remnant of a square of linen. I believe the girl was smothered, and while still alive but unconscious was put into the fireplace nnd the body incinerated." Katchen Muller, or Kate Miller, as she was better known, who was re garded as the wife of Walter Wolters, who Is now In the Tombs charged with the murder of the Wheeler girl, was taken Into custody. She denied all knowledge of the murder, and the po lice declared they were Inclined to believe her story. Captain Carey spent most of the night with Wolters in his cell, but could not get him to admit any knowledge of the crime. WENS EN REPUBLICAN FORT. E. N. Fobs First Democrat to Carry 14th Massachusetts District. Eugene N. Fobs of Boston the other day was elected to Congress from the Fourteenth District of Massachusetts. Running on the Democratic ticket in a district which In 1908 gave the late William C. Levering, Republican, a plurality of 14,256, Mr. Foss defeated William R. Buchanan of Brockton, the Republican nominee by 5,617 votes. The victor in this election Is a brother of Congressman George Edmund Fos of Chicago. Mr. Foss was adopted as the favorite son of the old colony dis trict by the decisive action of Repub licans and Democrats, who gave major ities to him in thirty-three of the forty-four towns and in the two cities in the district. The Democratic candi date invaded Brockton, the home of his opponent, and secured the major portion of the votes, winning In that city by a plurality of 171. -This show ing in the Fourteenth District is ag gressively and demonstratively insur gent. It turned a majority ot 14,0uO for a Republican Into an excess of 5, 617 for a Democrat of comparatively recent conversion. GENERAL HURT; W0MAN KI-LEL - Trolley Car Demolishes Automobile on a Washington Road. Major General J.
