' Schley flat.
NEW TORK, Aug. 2. Giant B. Schley
of the firm of Moore Schley ami former
syndicate manager of the Tennessee Coal
and lrun company, told the Stanley steel
trum committee that during the panic ot
11)07 the loans of his brokerage firm from
the banks were none of them supported ay
Tennensee Coal ahd Iron stock exclusively
as collateral.
Tie explained that Tennessee Coal and
Iron stock entered the loans which In
volved the brokerage firm of Moors A
Hchley In financial difficulties in 190T only
small percentage, all loans being covered
also by railroad storks and other Indus
trial stocks.
"How much had Moore A Schley bor
rowed?" asked Representative Littleton,
"which Tennessee Coal and Iron stock
was Riven to support In part?"
"We had loans of from 125,000,000 to S40.
OOft.000." said Mr. 8chley. "We got no loan!
on Tennessee Coal and Iron stock exclu
sively. The stock had no force with the
bankers on account of Irregular fluctua
tions, Mr. Kessler's connection with It and
other reasons. The banks would not take
Tennessee stock alone. I was borrowing
enormous sums, a hundred thousand here,
five hundred thousand there, and these
were secured by high-grade railroad stocks
and from 3ft to Sit per cent of Industrial
stocks mixed with It. Tennessee Coal and
Iron was a port of the Industrial stock."
Money front Moraraa and Other.
"How much was your loan from J. P.
Morgan A Co.?"
"About a million and a half."
He said the firm had two millions from
the First National. Asked how much
Tennessee Coal and Iron stock entered
Into the 40 per cent of Industrial stocks
given as collateral for those loans, Mr.
Hchley could not recall. ,
Mr. Littleton secured from the witness
the information that In addition to the
stock held by the two' syndicates, 188,600
shares, there was In the street considerable
free stock. '
"How much Tennessee Coal and Iron
stock had Moore' A Schley . hypothecated
In maklniJoanstor themselves?"
"I could only eetlniate tt, but think It
was about 150,0ft) shares," was Mr. Schley's
reply. "I had general stock of my own
In the office and also considerable on
which margins had been paid and the
balance loaned. Our firm borrowed on
about lOO.CQO to 150.000 shares."
Mr. Bchley declared Mr. Kessler was In
trouble just before th panic on loans with
many brokers besides Moore A Schley. In
these (loans he had considerable Tenneasee
Coal and Iron stock Involved and that was
one reason for the trouble with Tennessee
stock.
Mr. Schley appeared pale and stated ha
had been sick, having been away from his
office for three months.
Offers af Aid from Hanna.
Mr. Schley said that Just before the sale
of Tennersee stock he had a discussion with
L. C. Hanna about the status ot Tennessee
stock, but did not remember whether or
not they concluded there was danger to
Tennessee Coal and Iran In the situation.
At the time, Mr. Schley said, Mr. Hanna
had several millions of securities to his
credit, and In a general way bad offered
his assistance to Moore A Bchley, though
there was no specific offer. There was no
direct attack on Tennessee In the street
at the time of the panic, witness said.
"Were Moore A Bchley subject to a gen?
era! attack from Wall street?' was asked.
"There were many rumors about that
Moore A Bchley were going to fall," Mr.
Bchley replied, but that they wars not at
tacked solely because of their ownership
of Tennessee Coal and Iron stock was
pretty well demonstrated by toe fact that
they had S3S,000,0W Forth of loans.
"If It Is true," said Mr. Littleton, "that

England la seriously threatened by a strike
ot 12,000 dock laborers at tha London docks
today, growing out of a dispute over wages.

tain the advance. Separate meetings ot the

cuss the situation.
At least twenty steamers. Including tha
Minnehaha, which haa Just arrived at
Tilbury with a cargo ot dressed beef from
America, tha Anglian from Boston, with
boxed meats and other American freighters
are unable to discharge.
Many other vessels are loaded with meat

being taxed ear of In refrigerators aboard

there will be a shortage In tha 'London
provinces. Police reserves were sent "to
tha docks, but: their services war not re
quired. Tha men went quietly from steamer
to steamer calling on their fellow workers
to loin the movement and la every case

NEW TORK. Aug. t An official state
ment issued by the American Tobacco com
pany to Ita stockholders today glvea the
information that no dividend on tha com
mon stock will be declared at. the present
time, which would ordinarily be payable in
September.
A letter to tha stockholders shows that
the company la atlll engaged on plana for
the dissolution of the company and Its re
creation, which shall be In harmony with
the Sherman anti-trust law. Tha letter
reads:
'By tha recent decision of the supreme
court the circuit court of the United States
for the southern district of New York was
directed to ascertain and determine soma
plan or method of dissolving the combina
tion which was found to exist and of re
creating out of tha alementa now composing
It a new condition which shall be honestly
m harmony with and not repugnant to law.
"The directors of tha American Tobacco
company are devoting themselves earnestly
to tha task of working out a solution of
the problem which shall commend Itself to
tha court to which tha wtiole matter Is thus
committed.
"In tha ordinary course the regular divi
dend upon tha common stock would bo de
clared at tha present time, payable la Sep.
tember. Although tha earnings would amply
Justify the payment of tha usual dividend
tha directors feel that at tha present time
and in advance of approval by tha courts
of any plan of disintegration tt would bo
Improper and perhaps lacking in respect to
the court for them to make any distribu
tion of earnings to the common stock and
have therefore determined to omit the dec
laration of the usual September dividend."
Tha common stock of tha company aold
at S3M a share this morning, a decline of
twenty points from the previous close. Tha
selling haa been heavy.

RESCUERS REACH
ENTOMBED MINER
Joseph Clary, Caught in Cave-in in
Joplin Mine, Taken Out
Alive.
GREATLY WEAKENED BY HUNGER
In Danger of Drowning by Rising
Water in Drift.
DIGGERS WORK LIKE DEMONS
Three Workmen at Bottom of Narrow
Shaft All Time.
ROARING CHEERS AT RESCUE
Tfcreo lays and Forty-Five Mtaatea
Yaans Man Kept If Heart While
Friends Above Were Trying;
to Reach Hint.
JOPLIN, Mo., Aug. 2.-Josph Clary, Im
prisoned by a cave-in In tha White Oak
mine near thla city since last Sunday
morning, waa reached by reacuera thla
morning. He was alive and well. When
tha last spadefulls of earth were removed
by workmen In the shaft and they dropped
through the drift. Clary threw himself Into
their arms and wept wuae the ehouta ot
thousanda cheering at the mouth of the
mine echoed down the shaft.
Three workmen were digging in the nar
row shaft when the bottom gave way and
they dropped into tha drift at 8:26 o'clock.
Clary saw the light of day and looked upon
fellow beings after a period In darkness
which though reckoned by him to be some
thing over four days was really exactly
three days and forty-five minutes.
Clary, though evidently In a fair condi
tion of health, was greatly weakened. The
emotion he showed at tha eight of hla
rescuers and . the deathlike pallor of hla
face brought teara to tha eyee of tha hard
ened, worn out miners. The shouts from
tha mouth ot the shaft, sounds from tha
outer world and the guahea of fresh air
gave heart and strength to the weakened
man, who at flrrt had little to say, save to
breathe hla thanks. ,
Quickly Taken Home.
At a signal from the rescuers a physi
cian was lowered. He administered stim
ulants. Clary was hoisted to tha surface
and set foot on top of earth ten mlnutea
after he waa found. Curioua apectatoro
were kept from him. Hla father, brothers
and tha physician hurried him away to the
Clary home nearby, where his mothsr.
weakened by the strain of her long vigil,
lay 111. The physician urged Clary not to
talk until he had gained strength.
Clary is 23 years old, the son of Thomas
Clary, a piol.eer mlna operator, who- has
directed the rescue work constantly since
his son's imprisonment. Relays of men and
boys began digging the shaft Sunday and
have worked night and. day since. The Drat
three attempts to drill a small hole to
admit air and nourtiment faned. butUio
fourth waa successful yesterday. It was
found that Clary was In Imminent danger
of drowning from water rising In tha drift.
Diggers In the shaft redoubled their en
ergy, with the result that the drift was !
reached hours earlier than expected. !
Describee Ills Experiences.
Standing on a high section of ground not
yet reached by the steadily rising water,
Joseph Clary, who was entombed seventy
eight feet deep in a mine here since Sun
day morning, last night related hia re
markable experience to men on the sur
face. Communication was obtained with
the young man by means of a telephone.
As be told of his long vigil In darkness,
fraught now with hope, now with bitter
disappointment but never in despair, ha
Interrupted the conversation now and then
to receive supplies of food lowered through
the five-Inch shaft which, after three holea
were bored in vain, finally reached the
drift where ha waa held prisoner.
Clary said that he waa bewildered at
first when ha realised that he waa en
tombed, but that he waa never In doubt
that ha would be rescued. He said ha be
came hungry, but tried not to think about
It.
Tha terrible suspense ha suffered la In
dicated In part of his story as told over tha
phone.
He said:
"I tried to count the strokes of tha drill
and wga able to gauge time a lttle by
tha pounding of tha bit. Hours paaaed
until I heard the drill cutting Into tha hard
ground, but I - could not locate tha sound
In the darkness.
Water Coattaae to Rlso.
"Soon tha drilling atopped and I knew
they had missed the drift. As time passed
and I could hear no sound, I could picture
them making new calculations.
"All tha time th water waa rising a little
higher. I was hungry, but tried to keep
from thinking about anything to eat It was
hard to keep from thinking about ft, and
I drank a lot ot water from tba drift.
"After while I felt a draft of fresh air
and I knew tha drill had cut Into tha drift.
But in the intense darkness, I could not
locate It I called with ail my might, but
could not make myself heard. -
"Then when I heard tha drilling begin
again In a new location I waa discouraged
for the first Urn.
"It waa Just tha aama thing over and
over again tor th next few hours. I grew
mora ravenously hungry all tha time, but
tried to forget it I busied myself aa much
as possible until tha fourth drill hoi pene
trated the root of the drift It took ma a
long time to locate tha hole, but at laat
I tound It Tou know tha rest"

Fowler's Opinion
Says Remsen Food
Board is Illegal
Mysterious Document to Assistant
Attorney General Produced Before
Committee on Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Another mys
terious document came to light taday when
an opinion of Assistant Attorney General
James A. Fowler, written March 31, U09,
declaring Illegal the appointment and pay
ment of the Remsen pure food board, was
produced before the house committee on
the Agricultural department's expenditure.
Attorney General Wlckersham later upheld
the board.
The Fowler opinion never became the
offlolal finding. On May 24 following, At
torney General Wlckersham gave his for
mat opinion to tna secretary oi agriculture
that the Remsen referee board's creation
was entirely within the law. Tha board
overruled Dr. Wiley on the benxoatbf
soda cases after he had conducted hla
poison souaa. experiments.
The- Aemaea board's, legerity waa chaH
netreartrtn W aritt tha-atlorttey-
eraV had Ttmd -the. matter to Fowler.'
Where 4th copy of tha Fowler opinion
cam .from waa not made public The
committee referred It to the attorney gen
eral, who certified to It and returned It
to the committee today, saying:
a uun 1 Know, iroin wnai source you pro-
cured the paper which you have banded
me, but I believe I had it ' corrected ' to
correspond with the original and have cer-
titled it and return it herewith. I 'should
add that this Is one of several memoranda
which. were prepared for me by other at
torneys connected with thla department and
with the Department of Agriculture; all of
which I took into consideration In arriving
at my opinion."
The Fowler memorandum specifically
held that the pure food and drugs law
contained no authority for the board, nor
for payment of the members from the
chemistry bureau funds; that Its duties and
power given wore such that food and
drug decisions were virtually taken away
from the courts, where their final adjudica
tion ahould be and tha board a existence
was "inconsistent with law." . t
The examination of Dr. Ira Remsen of
Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore, aa 1
prealdent of tha board, waa begun today,
th . Fowler opinion forming ' the basis of
much of tha questioning. ,

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 2.-(Special
Telegram.) In one of the most dramatic
scenes ever enacted upon the flour of tin
national house of representative W. J.
Prvnn. the peerless leader, waa today ro
j pudlated by hla erstwhile friends. Of
ll
who have done honor to the dlst'.n.Tulslied
Nebraskan In the past; ot all who have
welcomed Bryan In their particular t.li"trlct
to bring soccers to their cause; of nl: v.1 o
have followed him through stirm nnd
stress of blmetallsra, government owner
ship ot railroads, the Initiative and referen
dum and recall, one face was absent In
the house when Oscar Underwood of Ala
bama, chairman of the &y nl means
committee roe to a question of iiersinal
privilege to reply to the charges made
against him by Bryan recently. The. one
face missing from a weil set stase waa
thati'of Ollle' JairieV. shortly to lie "TMltfd

i It has been a long time since tne noose
40 1 witnessed so much entnusiasm 01 penv uii
! emotion when the whip-like utterances ot
Oscar Underwood came rushing out Into tho
j open denying the charges made by William
j Jennings Bryan that he had failed to re-
il- hrAUM he.
Underwood, was financially Interested in
a Birmingham steel property and that tney
were false in every particular. Underwood,
who was cheered on by a mounted and
militant majority, called on one by ono
the membere of hi committee, many of
whom have followed blindly the leadership
of Bryan, to corroborate the statement
There was Claude Kltchln of North Caro
lina, the warmest friend Mr. Bryan has
ever had, unhesitatingly stating that tho
"Great Commoner" waa wholly misin
formed as to the proceedings in the waya
and means committee and In the caucus,
and he thought, in the Interest of exact
Justice,. Mr. Bryan should toll from whont
he obtained his Information regarding;
Oscar Underwood's position on the steel
and iron schedule.
And there was Champ Clark, muisled In
the speaker's chair, but nodding approv
ingly to the thunders of applause which
followed each whip-crack Bentence of tha
floor leader of the majority.
I.obrk and Maa;nlre Approve.
When Underwood finished there waa a
tumultuoua rush to grasp the hand ot the
man who had the courage of his convic
tions thoroughly well developed enough 'to
put William Jennings Bryan in the "Ana
nias club." Democrats fell over themselve
to congratulate Underwood and his cour
age. Among the very first to greet him
were Lobeck and Magulre. ' Lobeck par
ticularly seemed to enjoy the occasion Im
mensely, but as for Magulre, he lost hla
opportunity completely to defend hla die
tingulahed constituent
It waa auch a field day as one rarely
sees, for It seemed to indicate tha birth of
a new leader and the demise of one who
haa held democracy In the hollow ot hia
hand for many yeara
Mr. Underwood had read the published
Bryan statement and, speaking very de
liberately, said:
"Mr. Speaker, the statements contained
in that paper are absolutely falsa. It th
reflections which that article contains
rested only on myself, I would not take
the time of this house to answer them.
But those statements reflect not only on
myself, but on the democrats In control
of this side of the capltol, and as leader
of the floor, I would be untrue to my fel-
