T Only An Incident in the Collapse of a Great Bank Curgstoner Not So Hard Hit as the Dazed Little Woman, But He Talked Louder By Hal Armstrong He stood in the center of the backwash of sad-faced humans that all day swirled and eddied along the curb in front of the Scandinavian American—the bank that had }closed its doors. | His face was the longest, his gestures wildest, his wails jthe loudest wails of all. | “Poor devil!” commented a bystander, sympathetically. | “He must have lost heavily in the crash.” Crowd Largely Workingmen | The crowd was largely workingmen, poorly dressed, some of them illiterate. Some fishermen. Some women, “Keep moving,” urged policemen standing before the }doors. “The bank's closed. Keep going.” | But he of the long face and wails held his place in the |eddy by the curb. | Others came, tarried, and passed on, but he stood, sullen, speaking to all who cared to hear. “Look there.” He pointed derisively at a shield painted on the bank window. “ ‘Deposits guaranteed by the state of Washington,’ ” he read. | “And there!” He indicated another inscription under- { It was done in gold lettering, and said: ‘neath. “Member federal reserve bank.” What Good Does Guarantee Do? “Queer, ain't it?” he sneered. “Guaranteed by the state and a member of the federal reserve bank; but us depositors —what good does it do us now? Nothing. Nothing—that’s what we get.” ‘ “How much do you lose?” inquired a hollow-eyed listener. “Lost it all. All of it,” he wailed. “Same as you, brother. Everything! Somebody’s getting a swag outa this. Outa our pockets, friend. That’s what.” A little woman, carrying an empty shopping bag, ap- proached the doors. “Keep moving,” the police advised her. “Bank’s closed.” “Closed?” she repeated, incredulously, bending over to read the sign. “How?” “Closed. Keep moving.” “Why, I don’t understand. I thought-—” A policeman shoved her gently along. She looked about questioning, at this face, at that. Her ear caught the words of the curbstoner speaker. She drifted into the eddy close to him. A Plot Against Workingmen “Cleaned out, sister?” he inquired, wild-eyed. “Just like the rest of us. And why? Why, friends? I'll tell you why. tp |It’s so’s we'll have to go to work for a dollar a day. They can't control the unions, so they control our in the They rob us so’s we'll have to work for they give us. Or we starves. We takes our choice, friends— work or starve.” She indicated the curbstoner. “Maybe not,” said the calmer voice. “I only had $2,400.” The eddy grew deeper. “What's $2,400,” sneered the curbstoner. “Still, it’s a lot, if it’s all you got. And you're gonna lose it.” Curbstoner Is Challenged The woman was silent. “I worked hard to get mine,” the curbstoner went on. “Workin’ in the woods. I wouldn't work for a dollar a day, so they’re gonna make me. Every cent I got is in there, Another man “You ain’t got a cent, and never had!” joined the eddy. He elbowed his way towards the curbstoner. His eyes glittered menacingly. The curbstoner ceased speaking, drew back. Just a Troublemither “Get outa here,” threatened the newcomer. “You ain't worked a day in the last 10 years. First, I see you in the woods talking strike talk. Then I see you here, calamity howlin’. Trying to start a riot? Get out, you yelper—you bolshevik—before I lam you.” It was only an incident of a stormy day. The curbstoner eddied away, swiftly, noiselessly. Some eddied with him, and formed another eddy farther down the street. Others, who had lost, remained. They had little to say. The heaviest losers were those who stayed at home.

The roof of the jail is occupled partly by the nurse's cottage, next to the hospftal, Davey and Schetbie separated at this point and searched for Hayward, who wan at first thought to be on his way to the ground by the fire encape. Hayward was climbing thru the alrshaft when discovered. He had evidently not been aware of the po- licemen's presence on the roof. Davey and Schelble ran over to Hayward, who was unable to get his body thru the «mall opening. “Don't shoot." walled Hayward Davey was posted as guard on the root while Hayward wus taken back to a cell, Hayward t# said to have confonsed the theft of $60 worth of tools from the Union Ol company at Third ave. and Bell st. a few days ago.

Fried. heim, in Twin Falls, by a party of approximately one dozen men Friday afternoon, has so far proved futile, according to officials of Twin Falls county, Mra. O'Hara, recently released from federal prison by Preaident Wl- son, after she had served 14 months of a nentence for violation of the es plonage act, arrived at Twin Falls Friday noon with her daughter, com- ing from Vale, Ore., where she had delivered a lecture the night before. She was warned by telegram not to come. Mra. O'Hara, however, stated that she would stand upon her constitu. tional rights and keep her engage- ment to speak. ‘Two automobiles were seen going at high speed thru Hollister, about 20 miles south of Twin Falls, Friday in one of them to Wella, Nev. to be placed aboard an eastbound train, Man in Lace on Second Avenue Surprises ’Em BY 8S.

Like a million dollars, Mincing daintity down the avenue, he was a sight for sore eyes, An overgrown straw hat smoth- ered in the silky billows of a red band, puffing and fluttering in the breeze, adorned his head. Lacy flounces draped smoothly over his wrists from the sleeves of his checkered waistcoat. He leaned languidly against’ a malibox and dragged lazily at a scented cigarette. People stared, The reporter shifted uneasily. . “You'd better get off the street before you get arrested,” he suggest- ed insinuatingly. “You don’t think I'm overdoing {t, do you?” the man asked anxiously. By this time a crowd had collected, eyeing the two of us like a pair of “Woozle Beasts.” For tho first time we noted his ankles, trim and shapely in their blue silk hosiery, He colored per ceptibly when we stared at them. They seemed familiar “Well,” he said, “I had better move on. You've got your story. Never mind my name, I've shown these women they can’t get anything on us men.” As he turned to go a wisp of red hair drifted out from be- neath his hat. A great light dawned on us.
