IFODWELL CONE $50,000 MEMBER NEW YORK BAR President of a Philadelphia Trust Com: | pany Disappears, Leaving a Vacum in the Treasury. As a result of the assignment of the United States Trust Company at Philadelphia, Pa., the police are look- ing for Henry R. McDowell, a mem- ber of the New York bar, to arrest him on information sworn to by Charles L. Brown, assignee, charging him with larceny of its securities and embezzlement of its funds to the value of $50,000. It is believed that Mec- Dowell is already on his way to Europe. McDowell was elected presi- dent of the company about six months ago. The company has a blanket charter considered very valuable if in the hands of persons with suffi- cient funds to operate it upon a lib- eral basis. McDowell appreciated its possibilities and began to buy up the stock. After securing a number of shares he opened negotiations with the company with a view of purchas- ing all of the stock, and on this con- dition was elected president. There were 10,000 shares of stock at a par value of $25. McDowell secured the authorization of 10,000 .additional shares with a face vaiue of $250,000, which were given to him for negotia- tion. In addition to this when he was made president there were entrusted to him securities valued at $50,000. McDowell then began negotiations for the purchase of one of several large bank buildings in the financial center. To meet the expense of the concern notes were given. These matured and the amount necessary to pay them could not be found by the treasurer. An assignment followeds When Mr. Brown tried to recover the securities he found that McDowell had left New York for Boston. Further inquiries led him to the belief that the missing president {ook a steamer for New York. The authorities at Boston and New York have been requested by Captain Miller to arrest McDowell and to have all steamers in port searched. AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

PATERSON TERRORIZED BY REDS WCMEN DRIVEN OUT. Closed the Silk Mills After Smashing Windows and Wrecking Property. Two Rioters Shot. ‘Paterson, New Jersey, was in the hands of a mob Wednesday, and as a result of the riots nine persons were shot and two, at least, will die. Mills were wrecked with stones and bullets by the striking silk helpers, or roughs acting for them. The indications are that the riot was the result of a pre- arranged plan to involve the would-be peaceful element in the affair from the start. Among the leaders was a man named McQueen and another named Galleano, the former an Englishman and the latter an Italian. Others, agents of anarchist circles, had also been quietly fanning the flames. Gal leano Wednesday morning gathered a mob about him. Into’ it rushed the Italians and then the other foreigners, and a moment later the mob swept Gown Belmont avenue. Several mem- bers of the Group of Existence, com- rades of Breseci, the assassin of King Humbert, with Galleano at their head, leq the mob on. They attacked the Columbia mill; then in turn Bamford Bros.” mill, the Augusta. Here the mob found themselves face to face with the women of the mill, led by Mrs. Parker, determined to stand their ground. The women were thrust aside and driven out of the mill amid the most foul abuses. A single po- liceman on guard here faced the mob and used bis revolver. One Italian received a bullet which penetrated his lungs. The mob returned the fire, and over 100 shots were exchanged. Mayor Henchceliff called out the firemen to aid the police. The police and fire- men would scatter the crowds, but they would come together at other points. Shooting continued through- out the day. From time to time wounded had been carried tothe hos- pitals. Besides those whose names can be given it is certain many more were hurt. The anarchists who seemed to be in command were openly threatening that a policeman’s life would pay for each wounded rioter. Thursday the leaders of the mob disappeared. Lacking a leader and keeping out of the heavy rain of the early day, the rioters of Wednesday did nothing when a majority of the mills they closed by their violence re- sumed work. The police were given crders to shoot straight if they should have another encounter with the rioters, and the mayor had copies of the riot act distributed. Gov. Murphy ordered a part of the First regiment of infantry and the entire First troop of cavalry to Paterson to preserve order. All but three of the silk mills in Hudson county, N. J. have closed down. About 13,000 hands are out of employment. The majority of the proprietors of the silk manufacturing establishments, fear- ing an outbreak like that in Paterson, decided to close down indefinitely.

Twelve companies will thus secure an out- let for their oil. These companies have 20 producing wells, and some of them are drilling more. The pro- duction of the field is about 1,000 barrels a day, and all the companies will begin pumping as soon as the pipe line can be constructed. WRECKED BY EXPLOSION.

Convict Barrows Says Stole Baby to Ridicule New York Police. George B. Barrows, serving a sen- tence at Dannemora prison for the kidnaping of Baby Marion Clark, in New York, has written to Mayor Hock, of Goshen, entreating him to exert all possible influence to secure the pardon of Mrs. Barrows, in Auburn prison for the same crime. Barrows declares he forced his wife to commit the crime, which he planned for the purpose of covering the New York police department with ridicule, and that he did not de- sire a ransom. Mrs. Barrows en- tered the employ of the Clark family as a maid for the purpose of steal- ing the child who was recovered by the police. Lacemakers Help Strikers. The refusal of the general manager to discharge five girls whose relatives are still at work in the mines, the Wilkesbarre Lace Manufacturing Com- pany, the largest in the United States, and the third largest in the world, was compelled to shut down Tuesday. Between 809 and 1,000 persons are af- fected. Prices Advanced. The schedule on window glass was advanced at a meeting in New York by the National Window Glass Job- bers’ Association. Beyond advancing general list prices about 5 per cent the only business transacted was of a routine character. The schedule aGgopted provides for an unchanged price list, but allows a discount of only 88 per cent and 5 per cent. BLESSINGS ON AMERICANS. Officers of Dixie Hear Expressions of Gratitude to Uncle Sam From Volcano Sufferers. Gen. Corbin has received and made public the report of Capt. Hugh J. Gallagher, ‘he commissary officer who went on the Dixie to the relief of the sufferers from the volcanic eruption in the West Indies. Capt Gallagher says he employed 118 natives of St. Vincent for two days in unloading stores, and that the money was very acceptable to the refugees. He pays a high compliment to the sailors of the Dixie. “The stores were well se- lected, and met the needs of the peo- ple,” says the report. “By the de- struction of St. Piere, Martinique, the great storehouse and source of sup- plies of the island was lost, conse- quently many of the necessaries of life were not available for the people, and nothing could have been oppor- tune than the arrival of the Dixie. The wants of the needy people were promptly and efficiently relieved, and on all sides I heard the people mur- mur their blessings on the American government for sending assistance to them in this emergency. The same can be said of St. Vincent, where, perhaps, there were more people thrown upon the public, because many in the area of devastation escaped with their lives, while but few es- caped at St Pierre.” LATEST NEWS NOTES.

Cruiser Cincinnati and Topeka Sail for Laguayra—Insurgents Ser iously Menace Government Orders were issued by the secre- tary of the navy Tuesday to the cruis- ers Cincinnati and Topeka, at San Juan de Porto Rico, to sail at once for Laguayra. The cabinet had pri- vate advices which indicate that the Topeka, a light draught ship, will go up the Orinoco river, where steam- ships of a big commercial company are blockaded by the revolutionists. Farria, president of the Venezuelan state of Guayana, was captured at his capital, Ciudad Bolivar, and the revo- Iutionists secured 1,200 Mauser rifles, 2,000,000 rounds of ammunition, a quick-firing gun and.two breech-load- ing cannon.

That the British ship Monkbarns, which has arrived at San Francisco, Cal., 149 days from Liverpool, Eng- land, ever reached her destination 1s due to the gallant fight against fire made for four days and nights by Capt. McNeely and his crew. The Monk- barns left Liverpool January 22. Ail went well until February 21, when at 4:30 smoke was discovered coming out of the ventilators leading to the forehold. An investigation revealed the fact that the cargo was on fire. Water was pumped on the blazing merchandise until the flames were sub- dued sufficiently to allow sailors to descend into the hold, fix tackle to the smoldering bales and hoist them to the deck, from where they were promptly thrown overboard. Nearly all the cargo in the forward hold was jettisoned before the fire was ex- tinguished. Little harm was done to the hull of the ship. Dorman Sentence Commuted.

Britons So Loyal to Their Own That They Must Have Strong In- ducements to Import. Frederick W. Emery, chief of the bureau of foreign commerce, has made public an extract from “Commercial Relations for 1901,” showing the state of trade relations with Great Britain. “Most noticeable, perhaps, of all pre- vailing trade conditicns in England,” says Consul S. C. McFarland, of Not- tingham, “is the nervous antagonism against foreign goods which has sprung up among the British people. There has long been prejudice against German products, but the recent enor- mous growth of American trade in all branches has forced itself upon. the attention of British newspapers, man- ufacturers and the public generally. The British people are nothing, if not leyal, and they inherit the belief that a British trademark is a guarantee of quality, for which they have some rea- son. There is a disinclination to pur- chase American or German wares un- less, by reason of novelty of design or economy, the latter appeal irresisti- bly. Many lines of goods are now sold without comment, which one or two years ago were advertised as of Amer- ican make or ‘American style’ The Diamond Match Company parades its goods under the old English name of Bryant & May; the American To- bacco Company calls itself the Eng- lish Tobacco Company, and adver- tises its goods as made in England by British workmen; the proprietary medicines which were first introduced as American discoveries now blot from their advertisements everything except method, which might identify them as importations from the United States. But despite all prejudice, and solely because of merit and cheapness, American trade in every line con- tinues to develop. That it might dou- ble or quadruple at a bound if our exporters would only study and con- form to the peculiarities of Great Britain, still goes without repeating.” ASASKA MARCONI STATION. Government Signal Service Contracts for Two of Them. Gen. Greely, of the government sig- ral service, has entered into a con- tract with the Marconi Wireless Tele- graph Company for the erection of two wireless telegraph stations con- necting Fort Gibbons, Alaska, with Bates Rapids, on the Tananah, 1656 miles in an air line.
