GERMAN RIPPER
CONFESSES DEEDS
Insane Epileptic Says He
Stabbed Four Girls in
Berlin Streets.
DUE TO SUDDEN FRENZY
.Enraged by Taunts of Mother and
Sister, He Vented Feelings on
Others His Rambling Talk
Leads to Confession.
BERLIN, Nov. 8. The series of crimes
resembling the "'Jack the Kipper" mur
ders In London in 18S8-S9, only that here
the victims were little girls .Instead of
women, has been cleared up through the
confession of a printer's apprentice
nnmed Paul Minow, an epileptic. 22 years
old, 'who recently was confined In an
asylum for the insane at Herzeberg.
The authorities of the institution were
informed that Minow had been talking in
a rambling manner of the murders. Sus
pecting him of having committed the
crimes, they encouraged him to talk, with
the result that he freely related in a
heartless fashion how he had been
taunted by his mother and sister with
laziness, had gone out into the streets In
a rage and had vented his feeling by
stabbing- four little girls, one after the
other. He then rambled about the city
for a while and eventually returned
home.
His mind became so disordered that he
was sent to the asylum a week later.
The police have confirmed Minow's con
fession, i .
FIRST DEATH FROM DIABOLO
Boy Hurt by Spool 'While Engaged
at New Sport.
SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Nov. 8.
The first death as a result of the new
game of dlabolo is reported from Pam
peluna. A boy who was playing the
game threw the spool very high. He
misjudged Its position as it fell and
It struck him on the temple, Inflicting
an injury which caused death.
Threatened Trouble Averted.
MONTEVIDEO, Nov. 8. There will
be no trouble between Uruguay and
Argentina over the seizure of a tug In
Uruguayan waters by Argentine offi
cials. The Uruguayan Cabinet decided
to protect against the act and to re
affirm Uruguayan right of Jurisdiction,
but not to demand satisfaction of
Argentlna This settlement of the dis
pute is unsatisfactory to the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Senor Acvedlo, who
declares that he will resign. He de
manded that Uruguay take a much
firmer attitude.
Russians Find False Passports.
LIBAU, Courtland, Russia, Nov. 8.
The police yesterday searched the
houses of several agents of the line of
Russian steamers running from Libau
to New York, resulting in the seizure
of several false passports and the ar
rest of the agents and many immi
grants who were Intending to embark
for the United States. Considerable
traffic is reported to have existed in
passports, which were Bold with
steamer tickets to New York.
Cholera Decreasing In Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 8. Cholera
is everywhere on the decrease in Rus
sia, owing to the influence of the cold
weather and the danger this year is
regarded as being over. It is consid
ered certain, however, that cholera
will break out again in increased in
tensity next Spring and measures
have been taken to stop this Increase
along the great water routes in the in
terior of Russia.
COMPLETING STEEL DEAL
Tennessee Coal & Iron Stock Trans
ferred to Trust.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Deposits of
175,000 shares of Tennessee Coal, Iron
& Railroad stock have already been
made with J. P. Morgan & Co., in ac
cordance with the terms of the trans
action by which the United States
Steel Corporation obtained control of
the Tennessee Coal Company. The
stock turned in is considerably more
than a majority, but it is estimated
that at least 75,000 additional shares,
or a total of 250,000 shares, will soon
be deposited. John W. Oates, L. C.
Hanna, Grant B. Schley and Colonel
Oliver H. Payne are among those who
have already delivered their stock.
The governing committee of the
New York Stock Exchange at a special
meeting yesterday authorized the list
ing of $30,000,000 of United States
Steel Corporation sinking fund 6 per
cents, which, or most of which, 1b to
be used in paying for the Tennessee
stock to be acquired by the Steel Cor
poration. The directors of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron & Railroad Company will hold a
meeting tomorrow to transfer the
property to the United States Steel
Corporation. .
BLOW OPEN BANK VAULT
Faultless Job, but Montana Robbers
Get No Booty.
HUNTLEY, Mont., Nor. 8. The
Huntley State Bank's vaults were blown
open at an early hour this morning, but
no booty was secured by the robbers.
The Job was a splendid one, from a
crackman's standpoint, the vault being
blown open and the sare c-acked, but the
robbers were evidently frightened away
by their own noises.
The discovery was n6t made until this
morning when the officials opened the
bank: The officials have absolutely no
clew to the perpetrators, although a
dragnet has been instituted both here and
in Billinprs.
RUNNING MISSOURI RAPIDS
Kafta AVlth Heavy Machinery Go
Through Gate of Mountains.
.
HELENA. Mont., Nov. 8. (Special.)
Running rsfts through "The Gate of the
Mountains," the great gorge by which
the Missouri River pierces the backbone
of the Rocky Mountains, a seething
stretch of whirlpools and rapids. Is the
oemlnsly impossible task that has been
accomplished by the Capital City Power
Companuy. The rafts were laden with
material and machinery for the construc
tion of a third dam on the Missouri, a
few miles below Wolf Creek, and . the
task of piloting them down the tortuous
current was one of the most difficult ever
undertaken in connection with an en
gineering project in the West.
The site of the new dam is 27 miles
from the Lake Hauser plant, where the
necessary material was to be obtained.
It was entirely Impracticable to trans
port the hundreds of tons of steel and
lumber overland 'and it was decided to
brave the dangers of the treacherous
river. For the entire distance the river
is a succession of whirlpools, rapids and
sharp turns, with towering-, precipitous
sides, affording no landings. In spite of
these dangers the work was begun three
weeks ago and up to the present time
there has not been an accident.
Experienced river men were secured to
supervise the job. Gangs of men and
teams of horses pulled the material to
the water's edge, just below the big
dam. Heavy bridge timbers were chained
and spiked together and upon these foun
dations derricks weighing many tons and
steel cranes and steam drills, cables, iron
rails and a great amount of other ma
terial were placed, and then, with two
or three men on each raft to manage the
heavy loads upon their tempestuous jour
ney down the river, the cargoes were cut
loose and were carried by the current.
Every day from one to two rafts have
started down stream and it will take four
weeks longer to finish the job.
The new dam, which will cost approx
imately 3,000,000. will reclaim about 100,
000 acres of land near this city. It is
the third of the great dams across the
Missouri River built in this vicinity by
New York, Boston, Chicago and local
capitalists. The building of this dam. It
Is expected, will require about two years.
A portion of the power generated will be
utilized in the Butte mines and the min
ing districts between Helena and Butte.
A saving of $2,000,000 in fuel Is effected
by the Helena power dam.

Albert Krippendoffer Turns Up at
Hotel St. Francis and Refuses
to Explain Disappearance.
' SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. Albert Krip
pendoffer, missing son of a Cincinnati
millionaire, has been found at the St.
Francis Hotel, where he has been stay
ing since the night of November 5. When
young Krippendoffer disappeared from the
office of the shoe manufacturing com
pany of Chicago, where he was employed
as secretary, on the night of October 23,
his family supposed that he had been
murdered and his body concealed. This
theory was strengthened when a man re
ported to the police that he had seen two
suspicious-looking men lurking about the
offices of the shoe company when the
young man disappeared.
A week after the Junior Krippendoffer
dropped from sight, his father, through
the aid of detectives, learned that his
son had visited Chicago. From that time
nothing was heard from him until 'he
turned up at the hotel St. Francis.
"I have nothing to say," said Krip
pendoffer, when he left the St. Francis
today. He was shown a dispatch from
Cincinnati telling of his disappearance,
but he said:
"I am not talking to the newspapers.
I ddn't want to be bothered."
MAKE NEW YORK SEND CASH
(Continued From First Pag-.)
construction bonds. The manner in which
this would benefit the market would be
by enabling bonds to be used as a basis
for National bank note circulation. Sev
eral steps will be required, which depart
in little from usual treasury practice, to
enable relief by the sale, of Panama bonds.
It would be necessary that the money to
be paid for them, which under treasury
rules must be cash, should be deposited in
National banks. Otherwise the amount
paid would be withdrawn from circulation
and would make the situation worse than
at present.
Furthermore it would be necessary for
the banks engaging in such an operation
to have ready bonds acceptable to the
Treasury as security for the increase of
deposits derived from the proceeds of
the sale of the bonds.
A still further step to promote Im
mediate relief would be that the Comp
troller of the Currency should have notes
printed and ready for those banks which
were able to bid for the bonds and were
able to find adequate security for the
money paid for the bonds now deposited
with the Treasury., Whether relief could
be obtained with sufficient promptness
to justify all the steps Involved In this
case has not been fully decided upon at
the Treasury Department. It Is some
what doubtful if all these steps, includ
ing the offer of the bonds to the public
could be taken before the acuteness of
the pressure for currency has been con
siderably dulled.
Germany Clutches Her Gold.
The advance in the rate of the Im
perial Bank of Germany from 6V4 to 7Vi
per cent announced today from Berlin,
was fully anticipated in this country. The
rate as now fixed is the highest the Ger
man bank has ever had. Not only has
part of the recent American engagements
been taken directly from Germany, but
the German stock of gold has been de
pleted indirectly, as the American en
gagements at other European money mar
kets have resulted in large exports of
gold to England and Holland. The Amer
ican gold engagements already placed in
Europe exceed $40,000,000, so that the in
creases of foreign bank rates do not
operate as seriously as they might have
done during the early days of the money
stringency.
The total known engagements of gold
for Import from Europe since the finan
cial stringency began were brought up
to $48,250,000 today by the announcement of
$2,200,000 additional engaged today, and
by the publication of various engagements
amounting to $5,500,000, made at different
times in the last ten days, but not an
nounced publicly. The head, of one of the
departments of one of the largest gold
Importing banks said today that he knew
of at least $7,000,000 additional gold en
gagements which have been privately
made.
North American Defers Dividend.
i
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The Board of
Directors of the North American Com
pany, in view of the disturbed financial
conditions, has decided to defer the dec
laration of the dividend on the com
pany's stock for the present. In expla
nation, the directors said the company
had loaned $1,126,318 to the various com
panies in which the North American
Company is Interested, and had relied on
the repayment of these loans to provide
funds for its own dividends. The other
companies were unable to sell their own
mortgage bonds except at a great sacri
fice, and the North American defers the
dividend.
London Regaining Gold.
LONDON. Nov. 8. The increase in the
discount rate of the Imperial Bank of
Germany has been expected here, so it
had little effect on the Stock Exchange,
where the trading opened comparatively
quiet. Americans were offered freely,
but they subsequently steadied to well
above parity. A drop later was recor-
