Three policemen and two Hebrew women were Injured In a run on the State Bank In Grand street, in the heart of the business section of the east side of New York, on Wednes Would Not Remain In Organization Which Admitted Packers to Membership. The National Livestock association was rent In twain at its session In Denver on the 13th, by the adoption of a new constitution, which admitted the packers to membership, and provided an open door through which the railroads of the country might at any time become factors in the control of the organization. The cattlemen, horse and swine growers, together with representatives of some of the affiliated industries, refused to agree to the new constitution, withdrew when they considered its adoption probable, and in the afternoon formed a new organization under s the name of the American association, whose aim it will be to wield a dominating influence in the interest of the cattle grower. Roughly speaking, the sheep growers, commission men and the stock day. The run was attended by some sensational incidents. The 6,000 persons crowded about the bank became so insistent that they broke down an Iron railing around a light well in front of the building, and it was only by a desperate clubbing on the part of the police that the excited and unruly mob was prevented from forcing many of Its numbers into the well. The policemen and women were hurt at that point. The emergency police detail of the Delancey street station was finally called out, and policemen were stationed at Intervals of five or six feet tor two blocks on each side of the hank. , Payment of depositors was made np to 6 oclock at night. Officers of the bank declare it is absolutely sound and can pay 14,000,000 at an hours notice and that they received many offers of help and declined moat of them. SUTHERLAND TO 8UCCED KEARNS.

EXTRA 8ESSION OF CONGRESS. Unless Legislation 8hould Be Enected Regulating Freight Rates. President Roosevelt continued on Wednesday his conference with members of congress on the subject of tariff revision and of legislation providing for an Increase of the powers af the Interstate commerce commission. One statement, which stands put almost with the preeminence of In official announcement, is that unless congress at the present session Ihould enact legislation looking to a regulation of railroad freight rates, an extraordinary session of the congress will be called by the president to deal with that problem. It can be said that the president regards the Interstate commerce question as the paramount issue now before the American people.

BENTON, George Horton, the author, who was appointed Consul to Athens, Greece, by the president, is the author of several successful novels, Including Like Another Helen" and a history of med-er- n Greece. Horton was formerly con-cuat Athens, appointed by President Cleveland. One day, about a year ago, he received an invitation to take luncheon with President Roosevelt He went to the White House and was amazed to find that the president not only knew as much about modern Greece as he did, but apparently had read all of Hortons novels and could converse about them even down to the minor characters. Horton went away in a daze and for a year has been wondering whether the President read the books because he was to be a guest at luncheon or wheter he read them because he liked them. And many another aspiring author who has been invited to the White House is puzzling over the same proposition. A F. Q. BALT LAKE CITY, UTAH MISSOURI PACIFIC RY. The Popular Route to th ST.
