At tin; opi'iiiii!; Monday, AVull Street vciliitidcd you ,of j cheerful Robin Hood and his J merry men when "some would i run hihI some would jump mid s sonic would ilny nrtillery." ; j Wall Street skies Were bright, everything was gay, good news ''from all sorts of places. And suddenly the money lend ' crs reminded you of the mon key that would not drink milk after ho had tasted whiskey. M The money lenders, on hav ing tasted 15 and 20 per cent, j have no interest in old fash- i ioncd interest rates. They called .toO.MO.OOO of loans. Interest jumped to 15 per cent soon, siwculators look- Aed like Sennacherib's soldiers, after "the angel of death spread . his wings on the blast and j breathed in the face' of the foe as he passed." Science in the human brain will seek the oause of crime and other mental troubles. Science will have to go a long way back; about 1,500 million years ago the crust of the earth was already solid and life, ac cording to.Bciencc, traveling 4 on some meteor through the ab ' solute zero of the ether, started ' .in earth's salt seas. About a million years ago 'tiiaii appeared, learned to fast ' on a sharp flint, at the end of a club, an invention "that, made : him boss , of the world and started his "eivilination." A long line of animals, locked up back of that low fore head, looked out under the pro jecting eyebrows. The business of suppressing those ancestral animals is not yet finished. Hence crime, at least that is what science says. You may refuse to go any farther hack than the fatal row between Cain and Abel. Our debt is reduced to $li.. . n.:U,0O0,0OO.

TACOMA, Wash., July 3 (P) At least two men were killed when a party of six returning from the first attempt of the season to Bcalo Mount tlainier were swept Into a deep crevasse at the 13.00u.foot level, above Gibraltar Rock. Tues day morning. Three separate crews of Rainier National Park conipanv guides and government rangers are endeavoring to rescue the other members of the party, all of whom are believed . to be seriously in jured.

One Man Slipped The men were returning from the summit in a raging blizzard when oue member of the party slipiwd and plunged over the Hide of a deep crevasse, taking his five companions, who were roped to gether, after him. They landed on an icy shelf between Go and 76 feet below I he lop of t lie crevasse, where they were barely able to cling while the blizzard beat down upon them. Strohnl was the first lo crawl along the shelf to safety. Ho made his way out- Tuesday morning and started down to the cabin at Camp Muir. which is 10,000 feet above sea level, ller-j he notified workmen who were pre paring the cabin for Hummer use. Charles Brown of Tacnnia, a vet cran nioiiiilnincer and government raiigor. who was working at CBmp Muir, started out alone to rescue the other five members of the party. His feat was described by government and park company of ficials as one of the most daring rescue attempts in tho hlHlnry of Pacific northwost mniiutaiiicciliia. Staggering against a terrific, wind, Hrown made his way up (lie ice chutes above Gibraltar, where he met another member from the party who has not been identified. Brown lowered the man down the chutes and continued until he. found tracks of another iiiiidcnll fied nieinlicrof tho party who had escaped from tho crevasse and wandered to a long snow slide on Ingraliam glacier, north 'of Gibral tar Rock. Brown followed the tracks down the sleep snow and Ice until, about a half mile away, he found a man lying unconscious Goes for Help Hrown made several desperate but futile attempts to carry the man up the incline. He then dug a groove iu the snow and left t ho injured man and went for help, lie succeeded in reaching Paradise Valley late last night with meager leiHirta of the accident. Rainier park company officials. MaJ. O. A. Tomllnson, superintend, ent of the park, and Homer Bar rett, chief ranger, at once organ ized searching parties of guides and rangers and sent them out to rescue the Injured men. Brown told officials of the par', company that the other two men who were Injured mere not fataliv hurt but that their injuries were serious. A staff physician was seni from Paradise to Camp Muir with the first rescue narty. Strobel told Hrown that lliey were crossing an ice bridge over the crevasse when one of the party slipped, pulling all six outside after him.
