Chicago, Special.?The appoint

of the Uelding-llali Manufacturing
Company followed close upon the
heels of tho discovery by the credi
tors of the concern that its missing
prjwidejit, Jesse Judson Hull had ap:
prouriated to his own use ut leu?t
$310,000 of the eorporatioii's funds.
As far as can be discovered every
dollar of thts money went into min
ing stock which was backed up with
no tangible property, theatrical ven
tures which tnado no money and other
securities which the creditors are
willing to sell in a lump for some
thing less than $4,000.

It appears that Mr. Hal! has been
"borrowing" the company'* money
for at least two years. There has
been little offort on his part to eon
coal this fact. The money taken out
of the business was secured only by
promissory notes signed by Hall. A*
he has no other property than the
$80,000 worth of I3clding-Hall stock
which Ls worthless ilntil ail out stand
ing bills arc paid, it is expected that
the $315,000 which lie "borrowed"
and tho $10,000 which he lent to res
ponsible persons $350,000 ill ;fIt will
be a total loss.
A pathetic feature of tho case is
the condtion of the missing man's

VAST RICH! .5 IN THIS YEAR'S CROPS
Farmers Getting More. Dollars For All Tliey Have to Sell, and, Therefore, Are
in Hotter Condition Than Any Other Class Of Consumers.
Washington, 1>. C. ? Secretary of
Ag rlculturo Wilson, who ban just ro
turucd from a trip extending to tho
Paciilc Coast, can bog nothing but a
continuance of good times;'
"The people of (ho West," he said,
"are not fearful of a panic or of hard
tinier. The Weat i?> prospermia.
There id plenty of money. I it fact, I
have reason to believe that the Weat
la loaning money to U19 East, instead
of the Rant to the West. Ami this is
being clone irt good rates of interest.
The people of the West are not wor
rying ovor Wall Street and its trdu
bios. They scarcely know that such
troubles exist, wave *? they read of
them in the hewspayers. The rest of
the country is not longer dependent
o?i Wflil Street.
"Grain ftropti generality will he
good; with the Oxcoption of oats.
There will bo ft good corn crou, not rt
bumper crop; but a good one. If frosts
do ijot conie too' early. Prices for
farm products and for stocks are high
and the farmors a''0 making money."
Farmors are getting more money
foV th-Qlr grains this year than in any
former year, and the shortage of the
yield !n fcusheLj Js being nia.I? up by
the advance lrt-pricos. A banker from
South Dakota, who has been in that
section for years, While in Chicago
last week, hiadd this statement:
"Hanks in South Dakota have largei'
deposits than they havo ever Jield,
and farmera'iare getting more dollars
for what they have to sell than in any
year on record. Last year at thlB
timo they sold their wheat at sitty to
sixty-five cents, while now they are
fcocurlng ninety-two cents. Oats sold
at twonty-twd Cents last year, and
are now ^ringing thlrty-flvd cents.
Barley that sold al thirty cents last
ypar brings sixty-flve cents. Live cat
tle sell for $1 td JOB per 100
pounds mere than last year, while,
hoga are selling at the same prices as
a year ago, and there are lots of
them. Of corn, we are not raising
hny more than needed for home use.
Wheat id Of find quality, although
yields are not heavy. This also ap
plies to all other grains."
The above story represents the con
ditions In tho West, despite the fact
that prosperity stories are being over*
worked/- There has been a conserva
tive recession In business In nearly
every ^Ine, which has been beneficial,
as thtiigs were going too fast. But
there is a good, healthy business,
which denotes steady consumption of
goods at satisfactory prices. A ma
jority of the people In <the agricultu
ral regions are In as good condition
as last year for tho purchasing of
goods, as the advance in prices mukes
them feel easy. In fact, they aro in
better condition thau aro any other
Class of consumers.
Notwithstanding tho fears in tho
)p
early summer (hat tho long, cold
spring would bring disaster to tho
crops, it it) now assured that nature^
onco mora will bless this country
with abundant harvests. it la true
that tho phenomenal yield of corn and
wheat last year may not bo quite
OiiuuMod, hut it is also true that the
output will exceed tho ?average of re
cent years, and at tho s{*mo tltrfe tho
increase in the valu?{ of farm products
is likely to far more than offsot the
decline In the aggregate yield.
There may be a decrease in wheat
of possibly 75,000,000 bushels, but
with tho price more than twenty cents
a bushel above tho corresponding
time last year there ought to be u
not Increase t>f 575.000,000 to $100,
000,000 iu tho value of tho wheat
crop over that of 1906, With an in
crease iu I he price of corn and cotton,
the fulling off in those crops likewise
doubt less will be offset by their high
er values, Thud the farmers of the
country lire once more blessed with a
vsst income?an income so great as
compared with five or six years ago
that It Is difficult to comprehend the
magnitude of the gain; .Tho value of
"farm producla in dWfcrotii yeurn iioa
boon as follows:
Years.
1880 ?>,212,000.0,10
irOO ?,4fiJ,000,000
1900 4,717.000.000
100.li ? v.. 0.41(5,000.000
1906., O.704.OOO.OOO
19'J7 (estimated) 7,000,000,000
Tho increase In the last seven years
of $2,283,000,bOO is ft gain of nearly
fifty per cent, in that time. This
gain in seven yonrs is almost equal
to the total value of the farm pro
ducts of tho country in 1890. In the
latter year the por capita production
of all engaged in agriculture was
$2 87, Almost exactly the same as iu
1880, Whll<* at.tho present time tho
per cfipitrt 61 ail Ortgnged in agricul
ture IS ftbout $600.
The prosperity of tha fafrtlffra Is
seen not only in the paying off Of
hundreds of millions of farm mort
gages hnd in the building of hotter
homes, but also in the heavy deposits
in the country banks throughout the
West and South. Every hanker in all
the agricultural regions of the coun
try has been impressed during the
last few years with the great increase
in tho, deposits of farmers, and In
many portions of tho South a largo
proportion of the deposit* la country
hanks is made up of surplus accumu
lations of the agricultural classes,
With such fundamentally sound con
ditions it is scarcely possible for the
country again to sink into the depths
of panicky times, such as we have had
*In the past.
So fftr as the South is concerncd, It
is quito safe to count that this section
will receive for ItB cotton and cotton
seed an aggregate of $800,000,000.

City Hail, guarded by policemen, an#
somewhere between Dellingharh and
I he British Colnmhla line are mora
than 7!>0 natives of India, beatpa;
hungry and half clothed, making thetoj
way along the -Great Northern ItalM
way to British territory and the pro*
toctton of the British llag.
The long expected cry, "Drive 01
(he IIIndus!" was heard the night
fore throughout the city and alo6g
the water front. Tho police were
helpless, All authority was paralyzed
and for five hours a mob of half S
thousand white men raided the/mills
where tho foreigners were wofklug,
battered down doors of lodging
houses and, dragging the Asiatics
from their beds; escorted them to the
city limits with orders to keep goings
Tho trouble started at C an<l Holly
streets, a lodging, house district. The
houses were clcared and the mob then
? wept down to the water front and
mill after mill was visited, the wblte
employed joining the mob. ISvfty
Hindu was hustled outsido.
Here the police suggested that tM[*
mob victims be taken to jail. Tbla^
was hailed with delight and the Hin
dus wore hustled along. From thla
time on few were beaten. The mob
kept \ip Its work along the. water
front until early tie^t morniffg, when
Larson's mill at Whatcom Lake was
visited nud 100 Hindusv brought in
from there.
Four women were found anfbng the
p.rowd in I he city building. The city
Is quiet, but there is a strong under" ,<
current of opinion which apparently
approves the action of the mob, and
it may be found lnrpossible to punish
the leaders.
Racial feeling has played no small
part in affairs here. Every day white*
have been replaced in the mills by
Asiatics. Many instances of white
women being pushed into the gutters -
or insulted on street cars by the,for~
oigners were reported.., General ua
etfsiuess of tho whites Is given as ?
reason for tho outbreak.
The Ilindub are aJi British subjects
and this matter is being placed before
the British authorities. u
