Rehabilitation of Big Concern I
Whose Suspension Hastened
the Recent Panic.
NEW YORIv, March 7. An order
was granted today by Justice Clark in
the Supreme Court of Staten Island,
for the reopening on March .2(5 of the
Knickerbocker Trust company, whose
suspension last; October, following a
two-davs' bank run, involved tho sav
ings of Jicarly 20,000 depositors,
brought the president of the institu
tion, Charles T. Barney, to his death
in a sensntional manner, and precipi
tated such an unscttleinent of public
eonfidcuce that the panic of 1007 re
sulted. 'Hie reopening of the Knickerbocker
Trust, 'companv, in accordance with
plans for rehabilitation prepared after
four months' labor by a committee of
depositors, will release to the welfare
of the community assets aggregating
$46,:i7p,620. The granting of the re
sumption order was reflected sin a smart
advance in security values today on '
the stock exchange.
Gradual Paymout.
Under the terms of this plan of re
habilitation the depositors of the
Knickerbocker Trust company will not
receive their deposits in full" when the
trust eonipaii3" opens its doors, but will
receive JO per cent, on the opening Any
if they want it, and the remaining por
tions of the deposits can bo withdrawn
at intervals covering a period of about
two and one-half years, A compara
tively small number of the depositors
refused to assent to tho plan of re
sumption, and these depositors b' their
refusal to assent to the plan will be
in. position to demand payment of their
deposits in full.
A large percentage of the depositors
assented to tho plan, however, and arc
bound by it, and it was by r.hcir ac
tion that it was made possible for the
institution io resume business.

CRIMINAL ASSAULT

From Kentucky Stirs'tfp s'
urontana Ton.
Special to Tho Tribune
IIELKNA, Mont.. March. 7. A spe
cial from Lcvvislow.u sa3's that some
thing of a sensation was created here
today when the Rev. J. W. Seachery.
a minister residing near Moore, was
arrested and placed in the county .jail,
charged with having made a criminal
assault upon Mrs. Myrtle Waddcll. Mr.
W.iddcll was arrested also for disturb
ing the peace, but was later released.
Mr. Scacher- came to Moore, last year
from Kentucky, and took charge of a
church there. Later he took up a
homestead, his claim adjoining that of
Waddcll, who is a painter. Trouble
arose between the families over their
land, and Waddcll asserts that the min
ister sought to have improper relations
with Mrs. Waddcll, finally making the
alleged assault. Mr. Soachury declares
that he is innocent and says "tho prose
cution is a malicious affair. Ho has em
ployed counsel to defend him.

He could not bo located this morn

he would not be down until noon.
His private secretary, V. A. Da3', who
is ( chairman -of the 'Siate committee,
said to the Associated Press:
"The Governor is not read- to make
a statement yet. 1 doubt, very much
whether he will make any statement as
to his position until after the State
convention. I presume there is consid
erable interest in the East as to what
position he will take in view of tho
action of the committee 3"cstorda',' aud
while that action practically placed
him in tho presidential field,' I know
he will not any anything now."

! CAREFULLY FLAIK
j ITINERARY IF- FLEET
I Problem o' Arranging Tor Coal
j kg of Great Ships Is
; Gigantic One.
1 ' :
WASHINGTON. March 7. Now that
it has been practically determined by
the President that, the Atlantic battle
ship iJeet shall return to the Atlantic.
y way of Snoz. the near approach of
the fleet to its .'original destination
the California coast has made it
noccssary for tho naval officials to
arrange the details of the itinerary for
the homeward movement. Already sev
eral conferences have been held' upon
tins subject between the President and
Secretary Metcalf. Admiral Pillsbury.
chief of the navigation bureau, arid
Admiral Cowlcs. chief of tho equipment
bureau, the latter beiug specially
charged with the dutv of coaling the
licet. The last conlercnce held yes-tei-day
was intended to place Secretary
Metcalf in possession of full iuforma-
tion as to what had been accomplished
by the bureau chiefs iu preparation for
tho, return cruise. Ho was perfectly
I satisfied with the result. Admiral
1 Cowlcs has already dispatched largo
stores of coal to the Hawaiian islands
and to Manila, and he has further as
certaincd just how much coal ho can
obtain at Jort Said and the price he
win have to yny for it.
This is as far as he can go in the
absenco of official instructions to pur-
Smi8?' U 1S 11,0 of Admiral
1 lllsbury to prepare these orders, and
10 has already, after consultation with
us assistants in the navigation bureau,
been able to Irame them and lav them
beforo the President.
So it is expected that in the course of
a lew days the formal orders will imue
and immediately all of Hie plans "that
have been so enrefdly worked out for
the .fleet's return movements wjjl be
put in execution. Tho point of doubt
is the disposition to bo made of
tho ships upon their arrival in Asiatic
waters, for while it is reasonably cer
tain that some of them will' be sent to
Japan, it is not known whether- the
movement in that direction will be
general or confined to about four ron
rcscnlative ships.

Interstate Commerce Commis
sion Holds Financial Hard
ship Is Not Cause.
WASHINGTON, ' March'. 7. A u
uouncement was made . today of the
formal decision of the! Interstate Com
merce commission as to the application
by railroads for an extension of time
within which to comply with an act of
Congress a): ma 113 stations covered IJ3
Ihe thirteeu-hour provision, and at. near
ly two-thirds, in the aggregate, of the
stations" 011 the lines of the applicants
to which the nine-hour provision relates.
The petitions allege in some cases ina-bilit-
to secure the additional force re
quired, and in most cases the financial
hardship which the compliance imposes,
i An order was entered by the commis
sion denying the petitions in everv' cuse.
It was held hy the commission unani
mously that to grant such wholesale or
ders of extension would interfere in ef
lcet with ihe policy of (he legislation
in its fundamental aspects and would
amount to an amendment of the law bv
an official body charged with its admin
istration. It was held further that to
grant extension on account of financial
distress would open the door to endless
uncertainties, because there is 110 pos
sible means of determining the degree
of financial distress which would justify
extension, and if mere financial hard
ship is, in tho language of (he law,
'good, cause' for postponing compli
ance, it was equally good cause for re
fusal to pass tho law.

da3' of murder in the first degree on
four counts alleging the killing of four
Chinamen in Bostoii August - of last

The men todsy found guilty were
Min Sing, Horn Woon, Lcong Gong,
Wong Duck, Wong How, Joe Guey,
Dong Bok, Ling Yee Jung and "Warry
Charles.
The men were accused of tho mnrdcr
of Chin Mong Quiii, "Wong Shu Chung,
Chin Lcet and Lee ai Ncm.
Tri each case Warry Charles was ac
cused of being an accessor before the
fact.
Grew Out of Fend.
The cases had been on trial for thirt'
thrce days, the first four days being
thrown out on account of a mistrial,
owing to the sickness of a juror. Over
4000 typewritten pnges of testimony
was taken, and the cost of the trial is
estimated at, $20,000. The cases were
heard before Judge Brown and Judge
Picvcc. the State's ease beiug in charge
of Assistant District Ationieys McFet
trick and Dwver, while the defendants
had as counsel C. Bartlett. .11. II. Pratt
and Attorney Woodman, The murders
for which the nine Chinamen were found
guilt3' grew out of a long-standing feud
between the Hip Siug Tong and the On

Wholesale Slaughter.
Earh- in the evening on Friday. Au
gust. 2," 1907. a number of strange China
men sudden appeared in Oxford place,
in the heart of the Chinese quarter of
Boston, and, when a signal was given,
began firing from revolvers of heav
caliber upon scores of Chinese mer
chants and laundrymcn who were lazih
lolling about. Over forty shots -were,
fired, aud when the police appeared U1G3'
found three Chinamen dead and a dozen
others seriously wounded, one of whom
died. Sl)03 Tong, one of the principal
Government witnesses, testified that
Warry Charles, president of the Hip
Sin Tong, had instigated the killing.
During his testimon he stated:
"Charles said that he would have to
do some killing and make the Chinese
business men so afraid that all of them
would join our sociel3"
Charles is slIso alleged to have said:
"We are getting to be dead ones, and
must kill soiiio, one."
Tong' "testified further that Charles
proposed sending to New York, Philadel
phia and Chicago for "hatchet men"
who were unknown, to do tho killing,
as thc3' would bo-better able to escape.
