Part the New York Bank* Play In Speculations in Loaning Money to Gamblers. A lively colloquy between Senators Depew and Tillman took place when the South Carolina senator attempted to have the senate pass his resolution calling on the comptroller of the currency to furnish a detailed statement of all loans made by national banks in New York upon collateral security during the 6 months from June 1 to December 1, 1907. Mr. Aldrich suggested that as drawn the measure had many objectionable features, but he thought a resolution would e framed to give the information desired if it should be referred to the committee on fl Mr. Tillman demanded to know the objection to the resolution, Mr. Aidrich replying that the chief objection was the provision calling for the names of people making loans. "I think that would be the very worst thing we could do in the present condition," said Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Tillman disavowed any special purpose in having the names and Mr. Hale asked that the matter be allowed to go over so that the chairman of the finance committee and Mr. Tillman might agree on a form of resolution. Mr. Tillman said he did not want to go into the private affairs of banks but merely wanted to get at the facts concerning stock gambling and the loaning of funds of depositors for stock gambling purposes. Mr. Depew said that what was done in New York was done elsewhere nnH tho innntrv mfcht hfi extended to other places. "But," shouted Mr. Tillman, "most states have closed their bucketshops and New York has not shut up Its hucketshop or gambling house that is swallowing up the little fellows." "South Carolina would be the first to suffer if the New York exchange were closed," said xur. Depew, "and her industrial institutions would feel the effect of a loss of credit if New York is hampered." "I have never discovered that New York is supplying money from disinterested motives," retorted Mr Tillman; "we pay for everything we get." Mr. Depew saia it was safe to say that a majority of demand loans are made for legitimate purpose. added that he was ready to co-operate in the suppression of garaimng in \T/v?r Vat.!? AUin. The resolution was then offered to the committee on finance. * MAN FOUND DEAD. Familiar Object of Charity at Greenville Passes Away. A dispatch from Greenville to The News and Courier says P. A.

An awful tragedy occurred Wed- ^ nesday morning in the public school t( of Collinwood, Ohio, which has some t( eight thoueand population. One hun- j dred and sixty-five corpses were taken out of the ruins up to ten o'clock Wednesday night. Six children art ^ still unaccounted for and all the hospitals and houses for two miles f( around contained numbers of chil- ^ aren, some iatany ana many less seriously Injured. e< All of the victlme were between six and fifteen years of age. The school contained between 310 and * 325 pupils, and of this entire number only eighty are known to have left the building unhurt. It will be several days before the exact number of killed Is known, as the ruins may e( still contain other bodies and the ai list of fatalities may be increased by S( a number of deaths among the chil n dren who are lying in the hospitals c< hovering between life and death. > The school house was of brick, y< two stories and an attic in height, normally large and the smaller chil- ai part of the building. There was but dren had been placed in the upper part of th building. There was but one fire escape and that was in the ^ rear of the building. There were two stairways, one leading to a door in front and the other to a door in the rear. Both of these doors open- ai ed Inward and It is claimed the rear tl door was locked as well. d! When the flames were discovered ci the teachers, who throughout seem p< to have acted with courage and self B possession and to have struggled Si heroically for the safety of their pu- m pils marshalled the little ones into tl column for the "fire drill," wliich ai they had often practiced. Unfortun- o: ately the line of march in this exer- tl else had always led to the front door and the children had not been train- cj ed to seek any other exit. c< The fire came from a furnace sit- ir uated directly under this part of the d< building. When the children reach- S< ed the foot of the stairs they found o! the flames close upon them, and so tl swift a rush was made for the door B that in an instant a tight ly packed fi mass of children was pilled up n< against it. From the second floor none of those who were upon any portion of the first flight of stairs had a chanc& for their lives. ir The children at the foot of the S( stair started to fight their way back T to the floor above, while those who ft were coming down shoved them mercilessly back into the flames below. t] - I In an instant tnere was a irUL1U1 | ? panic, with 200 of the pupils fighting 0 for their lives. Most of those who h were killed .died here. The greater a part of those who escaped managed e to turn back and reached the fire es- b cape and the windows In the rear. ij The school was a two-story and g attic brick building, constructed six a years ago. It was overcrowded with pupils and It was found necessary to l utilize the attics for those of the f, ages between six and eight years. s; Nearly all the children were kill- e ed in the mass at the first floor door, ^ which finally was opened by men s from the Lake Shore Railway shops, c; who hurried to the scene. A wall t] of flame had formed across it, however and most of the hcildren were 5 dead by the time the doors were 7 swung. r, Miss Catherine Weiler, one of the' ^ nine teachers in the school, loss her 5 life in a vain effort to marshal the 0 pupils of her class and lead them ' to safety. She died in the crush at the rear door. Iler room was on s the second floor and when the fire 0 alarm sounded she marched her pu- t( pils into the hall, thinking it was only a fire drill. There the truth , dawned upon both the teacher and w pupils and control was lost. The y children in their frenzy plunged into ^ . the struggling mass ahead of them, j, Miss Weiler attempted to stem the f( rush, but went down under it, and r ? her body was found an hour later j] | piled high with those of her pupils. s , Miss Fisk, another teacher, was taken n out alive, but she cannot live. After c the fire had practically burned it- e self out the work of rescuing the ^ bodies was begun by firemen and n . railroad employees from the Lake b Shore shops. The railroad company turned over f, one of its buildings nearby to be used t ' as temporary morgue and hither the t charred and broken little bodies \ were removed as fast as they could a ' be dug from the ruins.

While passing in front of a Are 1 an open fireplace the dress of the jven-year-old daughter of Jule hompson, of St. George, Ga., caught re and in her fright she ran Into le yard. She was so badly burned lat she died. ut the blackened torsos and bits of uman remains was one of horror. . line of rescuers was formed, backd by a dozen ambulances. As the odies were untangled from the deris they were passed along to the tretchers and then loaded in the mbulances. At the tempory morgue in the ,ake Shore shop the scene became Durfold in the intensity of human uffering as fathers, mothers, brothrs and sister passed up and down le lines formed of one hundred and Ixty corpses. To facilitate ldentiflation the bodies were numbered as hey were received ai iuc uuiguc. The first identification was made y the mother of Nell and Tommy 'hompson, aged six and nine years, espectively. The heads and arms ad been burned from both bodies, ut the mother recognized the shoes n her children's feet. And so the isheartening went work on, accenuated now and then by the piercing hriek or plaintive moan as a loved ne was recognized by clothing or Dken, such as ring or necklace.

Murderer Wai an AWW chlst and Entered the Home ?C the Chief of Police and Tried te Stab Him, But Was Killed in the Fight That Followed By the Ohie* Himself. At Chicago Chief of Police George M. Shlppy, his son Harry, and his driver, ames Foley, were wounded by an anarchist who attempted to assassinate the police official In th? hall of the latter's residence, 31 Lincoin Court, shortly after 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. The desperate struggle, In which Mrs. Shlppy and her daughter, Georglotta, joined, was terminated when the chief drew his own revolvr and killed his assailant. Harry Shlppy was shot through -I-- ? ? vuv ui cuoi, vnito uuu nan yrUKDDlj fatally wounded. His father wag stabbed In the arm, while Foley received a bullet In the wrlit. Mri. Shippy was kicked by the desperado, but her hurts are slight. Following the attacks, squads of police were sent Into the Italian and Ghetto quarters of the city. Places known as headquarters of secret societies suspected of anarchistic tendencies were raided and a score or more arrests were made. That the attempt to kill Chief Ship py resulted in failure was due largely to the policeman's quickness 1a anticipating the purpose of his visitor's presence. The man had twice called at the house and asked for the chief Monday when he was told that Mr. Shippy was at work and called again Tuesday morning whem a servant Informed him that the chief could not be seen before nine o'clock. When ne rang the door bell at the latter hour, the chief himself answered the call. "As I opened the door," said Chief Shippy later, "the man raised his hat and I allowed him to step Into the hallway. He handed me an envelope, I glanced at It and then the thought struck me that the man was for analysis, the police being of the an anarchist. I grabbed his arms and called to my wife who was 1b another room. When she ran Into the hallway I said: 'Mother see If this man has a revolver. She feit in one of his coat pockets and said that he had. "I tried to hold him with one hand and draw my revolver with the other but he Jerked away and fell against the door. I caught him again and while we were struggling my son, who was up stairs, started to my aid. He was only a few steps from the- bottom of the stairs when the man freed one hand, drew his revolver and fired two shots at Harry. "Then Foley, who had been sum moned by my daughter, stepped into the hall and the man shot him. The anarchist kicked my wife to one side and by this time I had got my volver, and both Foley and I opened flre. At my first shot, which struck him in the head, he fell. But I fired three more one into his head Foley's shots also struck the assassin." Foley and Harry Shlppy were taken to a hospital. The body of the anarchist was removed to a morgue. A search of the corpse failed to reveal any marks by which it might be identified. In a pocket of the man's coat, how -"llo- ^lonntroroH n *m nil 6YCr, tilt? JJUlitO UIOVVY V?VV> ? mmm . box of loznges, the package bearlnf a label Inscribed: "Trowbridge, Confectionary Company, Meadville, Pa." The lozenges were sent to a chemist for analysis, the police bing of th* opinion that they might contain poison with which it was the man's intention to commit suicide If arrested. The police are firm In the belief that the attack on their chief wa? due to an anarchistic plot. Theories that he may have had a personal grievance against the official becaus# of an arrest or some similar affair were given up when detectives of the department failed to rcognlze the corpse as mat ui ?uy AUU TV U criminal. Two members of the force asserted that they had seen the man at a meeting of anarchists about ten days ago. Both the chief and Mrs. Shippy assert that the former's life was saved by the appearance of their son. The young man, who is IS years of ? age, is a student at a miliatary aca?* emy, in Culver, Ind. He is at home because of illness and hastened to his father's aid when he heard the struggle in the hall. Merry Makers Killed. At New Orleans the bad accident of the Mardi Gras Carnival occurred Wednesday night when three negroes were killed by a street car. The negroes were in a wagon and were part of the merry-makers en route for the centre of the city to witness the rv>mus Darade, wheu they were run dowa by. a street car.
