not owy taken accumulated savings out of
the older communtUoa, but large mroi have
been, loaned to make these purchase of
lands. Thla Is a very Important factor to
day n many of the middle weatern atatea
It la not an unoaual thing to hear from
a local banker or from a bank examiner
that fifty to a hundred thousand dollars has
thua been tnken from a amall town, and
tha total amount, of. thla must run up Into
many millions of dollars. Much of tbe

which haa called a halt and aet ua all to
thinking, not the lack ot a comparatively
raw- millions of currency to move ths crops

great Importance,, but they are not ths lead

T ' Bankers la Good Shape.
The power to loan still exists; the money
is aiill In the ba.,ks for reservej, and there
Is la a much money as ever In circulation
outside of the banks snd the treasury.
Th ques.lon now Is not so much the power
as the d!iowltlon or willingness to loan.
How faf . will the country go In the ten
dene? to contract theae kejisT That la a
queatton for the bankers mainly to decide.
I'or about a year there haa been a ateady,
almost, uamierrupted decline In tne prices
of all atocka and bonds. It has, however,
been ao comparatively gradual that there
haa been no bank failures, and a very few
stock exchange failures aa the result, and
so far general banking buslneaa haa no
bsen . seriously oheokej. From a strictly
banker a standpoint, his altuation has been
In one Tspct much Improved. However
bard li haa en on those who have made
tne losses, the bank loans on stock ex
change collateral are now readjusted Upon
the much lower bans with at least aa much
margin and probably more than on the
hlaher range; of valuea. A break In prices
Which, If a banker, knew It waa coming,
: would be very terrifying, la now past and
the banks have not been hurt by It- The
explanation of this is that moat ot ths
people who have made the loasea had the
money to loee. without loalng the money of
the bank. Hin of them mnne it on tiix
rise In priree and only have given up part
of the profits. There probably never was
a tims before In the biatory of the country
when auch a decline In Stock prices could
nave happened and found tha muinU mn
well prepared for It and the whole country
with auch powers of resistance and recu
peration. We are ui an entirely different
eondttlon and this Is what iclves such foun
dation for hone and firm faith in ths future.
The wsy buHlnea has stood the decline
In stocks Is an evidence of strength, not
Weakness. There ms v ha anl .., hii
will be some hesitation and Curtailing of
other line of business aa ths reault, but
there ts no occasion to be nervous or hye-tet-lcal
about It; we ahould keep cool, and
where our calm Judgment approves be bold
and courageous. If we have heen too
hopeful, do not let ue all at once become
too pessimistic. Let each bank atand by Ita

WASHINGTON,, Oct. 22. William H.
Landvolght, chief of the claaatflcatlon dl
vlalon of the PoatofBce department, today
preaente4 hla resignation to rostmasteT
General Payne.
The resignation waa requested by Mr.
Payne as a result of the Investigation tiy
the inspectors of the charges growing out
of the employment of Mr. JUandvolght'S
son In the General Manifolding company
of Franklin, Pa., which had a contract for
supplying patented registry booka to the de
partment. Mr. Landvolght was chief of the registry
division of the department prior to his
comparatively recent transfer to taks
charge of the classification work of the
department.
Mr. Landvolght, prepared his resignation
this morning and presented It to the post
master general in person. It waa brief
and merely called attention to the
fact that the only criticism ot him waa
the employment of hla son Arnold with the
company. It waa made to take effect at
the pleasure of the. postmaster general. t
Mr. Payne expressed his regret at the
necessity of tha action, but atated that. the
employment the son Involved a:plnclpl
which roust; be enforced. . Mr. .Landvolght
has beon In th postal service about twenty-nine
years. He began as clerk and
worked his way up.
.Under a detail of .the third aaaistant post
master general iie went to New York some
years ago arid .. reorganised the registry
Service of. that, city. . Mr. Landvolght aald
today that tha request for his resignation
carried do Intimation, of any wrongdoing
whatever, and that the only question was
the principle Involved In his son's em
ployment, . '

' Attorney General itnoK, accompanied by
Charles J. Bonaparte an4 Holmes Conrad,
; "h Z
1 "'nent -oounaer his the prosecution- of th
the
persons indicted ofbr .criminal Irregularities'
in ; the Toatofhcs1 department, had a long
e6nferncewfth President Roosevelt this
afternoon.
It Is known that the matters under dis
cussion related particularly to phases of
the postofBce investigation which have not
been developed thoroughly in any reports yet
prented to the president of the Postofflce
department Investigation. The Bonaparte
Conrad report recently submitted to the
president, It' can be said, deals with things
rather than with persons. The president
desired from the -special kttomeys merely
that they should report upon ths accuracy
of the Tulloch charges. It la known that
the report did contain two or three recom
mendations, however, but these were as to
methods and not as to men.
Attbrneys Bonaparte and Conrad will,
under ths president's orders, continue ths
Investigation along ths tines of their, sug
gestions In. their report, which will be made
publio probably at an early date.' :
Later on tha president will transmit to
congress all reports mads to him concern
Ing ths postal Investigation. Those por-
tlona of the Bonaparte-Conrad report .to
be made publio will' contain the findings
of the attorneys regarding persons who
bavs not'bsen indicted, but whose official
actions have been Irregular If not criminal.
It has been discovered by the1 sttorneye
that cases against these persons cannot bs
made because of tha statute of limitations.
which bars prosecution at this time. -

Ths text fit the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Knox in ths IJttauer case was made
puuuo toaay at tne war department A
considerable portion of the opinion ta de
voted to the queation asked by. Secretary
Root as to whether suit ahould be entered
against Llttausr for money paid for ths
gloves furnished, the point hinging upon
tne wora "advanced" In the section of tha
revised statutes, which authorised tha ault
"for the . recovery of any such sum of
monsy so advanced."
Ths attorney general sfter discussing- tha
case tn all Ita phases says hs Is of the
opinion that ."no part of ths consideration
paid by the government ts subject to a
demand for repayment" '
Secretary Root asked tha Department of
Justice whether any further action la called
for on ths part ot ths government and
upon this point the attorney general aaya:
By "any rurther action" you . mean. I
presume, criminal acUon. There la no oc
caaion, however, for me to determine
whether the transaction called in question,
and which ycu say la the only one where
in there ia any evidence of violation nr
law, preaenta sufficient ground for a crim
inal prosecution under section 7J of ths
revised statutes. Blue, the statutory period

tion could bs brought eiapaed mors than a
year aao.
No ueeful purpoae, therefore, would be
subserved by such determination. An af.

a vindication of the law; a negative might
be regarded aa an affirmative of the valid

FIFTY THOUSAND LOSS FULLY INSURED
Blase OrlaJantes la nenr of gtrnetnre
Daring Knrly Momi( from

tator Brea Maa.
Fire entailing a loss of approximately
to ths firm of Klrschbraun A Sons,
1209-1211 Howard street, waa discovered at
t:4$ Thursday morning. The lose In stock and
lamage to buildings Is fully covered by
Insurance. . . .
Charles Klrschbraun was asked regard
ing the Insurance carried and aald:
"We had between 128,000 and 1160,000 on
the buildings and contents. This Is divided
between several companies. I have not
yet had time to go over ths Insurance
papers and cannot give you. a more de
tailed statement I think our loss Is fully
covered."
The fire broke but In the rear of the
building at 12i! Howard street, the first
floor of which Is occupied by Robert Purvis,
who ia In the commission business and
deals In btitto-, egga, fruits and farm
products. Mr. Purvis carries no extra or
reserve stock and had on hand' only five
barrels bf apples and a case and a half of
eggs Wednesday night wnrch had been left
over from the sales of the day. ' HIS loss
was therefore nominal.
The second floor of the building at ml
Howard street contained the butter procs
plant which was operated by the Klrsch
brauna. This plant, which was Installed
at a cost of $6,600, Is a total loss. The
third and fourth floors of the buildings
were given over to storage of perishable
goods and lupplles. Mr. Klrschbraun
stated that fully $10,000 worth of supplies
went up In smoke. Practically no damage
was sustained by the building at 1209 How
ard, a three-story brick, which is occupied
throughout by KlrschbrAuri sV Sons. There
will, however, be a considerable loss In
perishable goods, damaged by the smoke
Snd water A large refrigerating plant
whtch was kept In constant operation tn
preserve the stocks carried In both build
lhgs was Incapacitated. Efforts are being
made to get In working order and If this
can be done an additional loss In perishable
stuff will be circumvented.
Loss Only Nominal.
In addition to the large stock carried In
the btilldlng at 1209 by the Klrschbrauns,
the commission firm of Perry, Bauer ft
Ennls, 1213-1215 Howard, had 25,000 pounds
bf butter and 2,000 cases of eggs stored
on the second- floor. The value of this
Stock wfes slightly In excess of $5,000. The
stock only waa damaged and Mr. Perry,
who was seen regarding the ' firm's loss,
stated that It wouia:not be gYeat, " as the
butter snd eggS ' could tie aold, but neces
sarily at a reduced figure. '
The origin of the fire Is a 'mystery'. Mr.
Klrschbraun 'has nothing to offer In ex
planation of it. Chief Salter also Is In
a quandary over It. Assistant Chief
Windham states that the entire four stories
of the building st 1211 Howard were oh
firs when the department arrived. A
large volume .of smoke was pouring out
of ths rear windows of sach story and
ths Interior of the building was lit up
ss bright ss day by flames which wers
fast spreading In every direction.
In the opinion of ths assiatsnt chief the
fire originated In ths basement and worked
Its way up to theA root, through a large
elevator Shaft which la near the south
east corner of tho building, and ehlch was
used .to convey stock to the floors' above.
"The"flrst alarm, ths chief said, cams
In at 3:45, and was followed by a second,
which came In six minutes later. The fire
was ' fought- from the front and . rear of
ths building simultaneously and six lines
of hose were playing on It at one time.
It was one of the hardest fires the depart
ment has had to handle In months, the
chief said. ,
While the building In which the fire
originated Is not a total loss It Is evident
that It will cost considerable to repair It.
The floors are almost entirely burned away
and what Is left to Indicate where they
were, is a massi of charred and blistered
timbers. The walls of the building do not
appear to have suffered from the flames,
Dut ins interior framework was scuttled.
Actor Discovers Plre.
Ths firs wss discovered by Mr. Oould, a
member of the "False Step" company,
which Wednesday night closed an engage
ment at the Krug. Mr. Gould was returning
from the Krug to ths St. James hotel, when
he saw bright lights tn the upper stories of
ths Klrschbraun building. He told the
night clerk at the hotel and an alarm was
turned In. Mr. Gould also told the night
clerk that he waa sure hs hsd seen the fig
ure of a man flit serosa In front of the win
flows of the third floor. He could aee, he
said, by ths bright light cauaed by the
flames which were then burning fiercely on
that floor. Mr. Oould left yesterday wjth
his company for Chicago and his story could
not be 'verified.
The firemen are engaged In pumping
water out of the basement of both build
ings, which were filled nearly to tha Joists
of the first floors. The police have a guard
thrown around the burned building.
John Mangel, driver of hose No. 4, and
John Engel, driver of engine No. 4, were
carrying a 11ns up the front of the building
and were at the fourth floor when flames
broke from the aecond. In descending Man
gel Jumped from the ladder and fell on his
leg, sustaining Injuries which took him from
work 'and may possibly confine him to the
house for some time. ' -
Workman wers engaged at i p. m. yes
terday to tear down a portion of ths front
wall of the west building, which wss con
demned by Building Inspector Carter. A
brick cupola with stone capping, which
surrounded ths front wall and which had
been cracked for its en Ure width of twslvs
feet, waa removed and a part of the main
wall taken down for about a foot below the
coping. . .
Yesterday afternoon ths insurance, agents
representing, ths companies , with which
Kirschbaum. t Bona were insured visited
the scene, but did not attempt to estimate
ths loss. Such-estimate ail 11 not be made
for several days.- Chief ikUter persuuaUy

ot both building, which was completed by

."President Stlckney of the Great Western
haa a great big proposition on his hands In
this city," said President 6tuveant Fish
of the Illinois Central at the depot yes
terday. "I am inclined to think that he
going to have trouble in carrying out
Ms icheme, unless he receives the corutal
support of all the other roads entering
Omaha. My belief la that there Is mors in
Omaha than there ia in Mr. Stlckney. I
ntet Mr. Stlckney In Chicago quit a time
ago and I advised him to take his road
further west, but ha said he was content to
make Omaha ths terminal and establish a
grain market In this city. That is a hard
thing to do unless he receives, as 1 say, ths
nt.rs support of the competing roads," .
President Fish and party canw in this
morning over the Illinois Central In a
special train. It being ths annual tour ot
Inspection of ths directors of the railroad.
in the party beside Mr. Fish were Sec
ond Vice President J. T. Harahan and di
rectors, colonel, John Jacob Antor, Cornelius
Vanderbllt, L'hailes SI. Beach, John W.
Aucllucloss, A. G. Hackstaff and O. W.
Boisseoaln. the party occupied a train
composed of three private cars and one
combination car. Tbe private oars were
Marian, belonging to President Fiah,
Marelnette belonging to Mr. Aator and
Cuchillo belonging to Mr. Vanderbllt The
train waa in charge of B. Gllleas, superin
tendent of the Dubuque division of the
Illinois Central, and Trainmaster F. 8
James of the Omaha division.
President Fish has Just returned from a
four months' stay at the coast and on ar
riving at Chicago sent his wife on to his
home In New York City and Joined the
party ot directors which left the Windy o.ty
Wednesday evening. A stop of Ave hours
was made in this city, during which time
the visitors were shoTvn about the city by
John R. Webster of the Omaha Bridge and
Terminal company. The train arrived at 7
o'clock and departed at 11 over the Illinois
Central bound for New Orleans.
Completes Foar Months' Tonr,
John Jacob Astor was the solonel of the
Kew York regiment which went to Prrto
Rico and served in the late Spanish-American
war. He Is delighted with the west,
but aside from making this assertion he
was not very talkative.
President Fish, however, was very con
genial end talked freely about Omaha and
its future.'
'There is no question but that some dsy
this city will be the greatest grain market
of the west" he declared. "It has the
proper, location 'and deserves to be the cen
ter. I am highly pleased to see such beau
tiful wld rtreete, and from what I hava
bsen able to observe of ths city this morn
ing on our brief tour It strikes me that the
people are wide awake and progressive. If
I bad my way ot planning a city, though,
It would bo on the principle on which New
Orleans Is laid out with ths largs grass
plot in ths center of each street and the
car tracks on either side. This saves con
siderable paving and Is lees expensive to
the poorer property holders, then It Is only
a small matter to have the grass, kept in
condition." 1 , .
1 No Extensions. . . J
. i ,...' . . i ' '
When ssked If his road contemplated any
large Improvements or ehafiges In this ter
ritory, he replied; ' '' '
"Our line proper runs to ths Mlsssurl
river, and It has been there for thirty-three
years and will be there for as long a tims
to come. We contemplate no extension of
the system, but a number of Improvements
will be madi In this section during ths next
year. At present we are having a targe
amount of grading dona over in Iowa, and
as soon as this Is finished the .usual num
ber ot men will be laid off for the winter
months, as has always been our custom.
"Nothing has besn done to relieve the
congested condition of our freight yards
by ths board of directors, but ten new en
glnes wers ordered this week and a large
number of cars. Last year we bought 11,000
ears, and this year I think ths number Is
somewhat larger I do not recall the exact
figures. I would like to see President Stlck
ney accomplish his point, as he Is a man
deserving of support. Whether hs will or
not I refuse to say."
Btlekney's Cnt Rnto.
The fact that ths Chicago Great Western
la going to put Into effect a new propor
tlonat rate of cents on whest snd flour
and cents on corn has aroused the freight
traffl o men of-all the railroads entering the
city. The announcement In The Bee came
as a surprise to the majority of them,
It was not expected so soon. A number of
the freight officlsls knew that a scheme of
this kind was on foot, but never dreamed
of It being sprung now.
It la understood that ths new sheet will
go Into effect October 24, snd the matter
was being kept under cover so that Presi
dent Stlckney might make the official an
nouncement of the new rate himself.
Milwaukee and Missouri Pacific officials
think this a wise thing and are very eager
to see it put Into operation. Freight of
ficials of the 'Northwestern don't see the
benefit to be derived from It. One ofnslal
remarked: "Stlckney la going to have trou
ble before he goes very, far with his
scheme."
As soon as ths fact became generally
known among the railroad men the freight
officials Immediately wired their general of
fices in Chicago and are now awaiting an-
' ewers.

UNITARIAN CONFERENCE ENDS
Several Interesting Addresses Mark
the Moslae; Cessions ot the
Gathering;,
Yesterday marked the close. of the Mla
sourl Vslley Unitarian conference whloh
convened on Tuesday for a three-day ses
sion. . The morning session opened with
a short, address on "The Young
Peple's Religious Union," by Rev.
W. S. Vail of Wichita. Kan. Then followed
an address of about an hour In length upon
the subject of "Sunday Sohoola," by Rev. J.
Lewis Marsh of Uncoln. He dwelt particu
larly upon the necessity of religious train
ing and bible study In the home, aS a stim
ulus to children becoming Interested In the
Sunday school, snd to awsken In them a
spirit of reverence for things sacred. He
believed It was as essential to teach chil
dren a reverence for the bible as It was to
teach them arithmetic and grammar.
Dr. Marsh's address was followed by an
Interesting discussion, and the morning
closed with devotional exercises conducted
by Rev. John W. Day of St. Ixiuls.
Dinner was served by the women ot the
church to the delegations In the lecture
room of the church.
During the afternoon Prof. W. II. ' Car
ruth of Lawrence, Kan., presided and Rev.
Abram Wyman of Topeka was secretary.
The following committees were appointed:
Nomination Committee, Revs. Veil of
Wichita and Mann of Omaha and Mrs.
Marsh of Lincoln; business. Revs. Bennett
of Lawrence and Powell of Ord, Neb., and
Powers of Sioux City; 'place and time of
next meeting, Revs. Marsh and Wyman
and Mrs. Akin of Omaha. Revs. 8. W. Veil
of Wichita and J. L. Marsh of Lincoln
gave reports, of . the church In their re
spective cities. Prof. ' Carruth made the
president's address on "Unitarian In Ortho
dox Churches."
, The last session of the conference was
held . last, evening. Rev. Powell of Ord,
Neb., opened the session with an interest
ing talk on 'Philanthropy," which was
followed by Rev. Hawley of Chicago, who
spoke for twenty-five minutes on the sub
ject of "Mission cf the Unitarian Church
In Solving the Social Problems." Rev.
Hawley said that the tendency among
Christian people to classify themselves
according to some trivial difference of
creed or scriptural Interpretation was
growing less. He said: "If. we. all do our
very best there would be no social ques
tions; they would solve themselves. If
wt would spend half the money that ts
.ed to maintain our courts of Justice,
police departments and military estab
lishments tn siding the poor and unfor
tunate children of . our cities we would
effect, a great change In society."
RevT J. D. O. Powers made the closing
address of the conference. Referring to
the evolution of religious Ideas, tbe
peaker said: "We are sifting out the per
manent and making It a part ot our lives.
Considerable of tha old, cargo has been
thrown overboard. A new spirit, of re
search, a hunger after knowledge, human
love and, God, ( thoaetKings, that, .aatlafy
the heart, is naniiesung itaeir in tne re
llgous world.".

GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW
Alley la ltrrortrlckea Over Loss
of Fowl Life, not Prlee Is
Btatloaary.
Commission Row Is horror stricken st ths
frightful tragedy of ths morning, when US
nf the most respected fewls met death In
the fire on Howard street Never has been
such loss of llfel Ths chickens were well
smothered, to use the restaurant term. No
change In price will follow the catastrophe
however.
A new foreign Invasion of ths Row oc
curred Wednesday, Csnadlans. the cold
weather Is Just fine for these burly
rutabagas. A car got In' during the day
and now Is practically clesned up.' This
does not mean that the rutabagna srs
cleaner than hhy of the other Indians, but
they are more popular. Another car la
billed In during the week and the grocers
are etorlhg them, so that their HvStomerB
can make good Indians of them as fast as
possible. They are fins big bucks, weighing
from two to seven pound each and 'will
wholesale at 1 rent a pnund.
The species of fruit classed as California,
is about all located In the happy hunting
ground. Tokay grapes will last yet another
two or three weeks and a car of them ta
still to come. Muscat grapes srs to be 1
with us a little shorter ttme. The pears
have about all reached here .now, ' but
enough winter sellers, Vlkers-snd t Kelfer
are up against the Ice to supply the market
until Christmas. The prunes are given two
weeks yet, but really oold weather will
stop the deal. Quinces also ure among
those soon to vanish. The 'Cfitlfornla box
quince, which Is better thsn the New York
barrel quince, will have ended when one
more car has been canned. They sre ex
acting $1.65 per. The New Yorkers are too
high this year for the western market and '
so are scorned. They sre said to be selling
st home now for $4.60, wholesale.
The great white errs pes of Malaga will
will be doing the Spanish tarantella over
the newly repaired commission asphalt
next week as aome Of them, the first over
for the season, have been bought In the
New York auctions and are on the way.
They are in barrels, packed with cork
acraps and will keep all winter. Vendela
white grapes from California are billed also
for next week. ,
