NEW YORK FINANCIAL
PANIC QUIETS DOWN
New York, Oct. 30.—The captains of
finance, who with the secretary of the
treasury, have fc cm battling night and
‘day to pres rve order in the blinking
world, held no conference last night,
but went to bed early, confident that
the threatened bad situation had been
•successfully combatted, and that from
now on the restoration of the public
confidence and tranquility would be
speedily accomplished. No apprehen
sion was felt as the result of today’s
financial transactions.
The sto k exchange and banks were
open onl*’ two houn.. and the stock
exchange was not troubled by the
money situation, as all the loans made
yesterday carried over until Mon
day. ^here were some depositors in
front of the Trust Company of Ameri
ca and the Lincoln Trust company, but
the number was not as great as yes
terday.
Less Than Legal Reserve,
Announcement was made today that
negotiations have practically been
.completed for the importation of
a large amount c 1 gold from Europe.
Morey on call was loaned on the
stock exchange today at 50 per cent.
The clearing house association today
authorized the issuance of clearing
house certificates. The first national
Ibank today notified the stock exchange
houses to which it made loans Friday
tat 50 per cent, that loans would be con
tinued over to Monday at 30 per cent.
Payments to depositors were con
tinued throughout the day. The state
ment of the clearing houses and banks
,for the week shows the banks hold $1,
233,300 less than the legal reserve re
quirements. This is a decrease of $12.
415,950 as compared with last week.
* The drain on the national banks was
•considerably relieved today by the de
rision of the savings banks to require
advance notices <>f large withdrawals.
This put a stop to heavy disbursements
by the. savings banks, which would
have been compelled to draw this
money from the national banks. The
subtreasury received $10,000,000 iu
small bills from Washington today.
TAFT IN A WRECK,

Manila, Oct. 30.—Secretary Taft made
an inspection of the partially complet

railway Friday. He rode twenty-five
miles on the first passenger train run
ove- the line and, incidentally, was a
participant in the first wreck on the

nearly took his with it
Taft's car ran completely over the flat

HE’S 80, SHE’S 65,
BUT THEY HAVE TO
ELOPE TO WED
Fe!ati\cs, Howevtr, Don'f
Think Marriage of Old Per
sons Is Such a Joke.
Philadelphia, Oct. 30.—While rela
tives of the old bridegroom were dis
cussing in most bitter tones the elope
ment of Alfred J. Dickinson and Mrs.
Julia A. Britton, the white-bearded
benedict sat in the parlor of his new
and handsome house, chuckling over
the clever way he outwitted them.
"No, I am not near 80 years old,”
Dickinson said. "No matter how old I
am, 1 was young enough to fool every
one when it came to marrying. It was
just this way. My wife died six months
ago, and I have felt since then that I
had no home. My children did not seem
to care for me any more, and the only
person who did care for me was my
wife, Mrs. Britton, who is 65 years old.
We talked over the matter and decided
to wed, to elope If necessary. We went
to Wilmington Tuesday, were married
by the Rev. George L. Wolfe, and then
came right to this home. That is all
there Is to the elopement, as they call
our wedding.”
But Edward Kessler, of 3909 German
town avenue, son-in-law of Dickinson,
seemed to think that his father-in-law
needs a nurse rather than a wife.
"It is a shame to his family, that's all
it is," Kessler said. "That woman knew
him forty years ago, and she was Just
clever enough to get him for her hus
band. Dickinson must have a num
ber of properties, for I understand that
he collects more than $100 per month
from rents. Mrs. Britton knew he was
not in his right mind when she mar
ried him.”

It appears that Ullmo offered certain)
documents to the minister of marine
for $80,000, saying that unless his offer
was accepted he would sell them to a
foreign power. A dummy correspond
ence was begun, ending with Ulltno’s
capture. A search of his lodgings re

Des Moines, la., Oct. 28.—Dr. E. E.
Gadd, indicted along with Herbert B.
Dickinson for the murder of Irene
Blydenburgh, of Eldora, was called to
the witness stand this afternoon to
testify for Dickinson. Gadd’s appear-j
ance caused a sensation and the state:
claims he was called in a desperate at-s
tempt to bolster up a waning cause,'
though the defense declares Gadd will'
testify that if the operation was per-1
formed on the girl, she did it her-1
self.
Mrs. Jessie Cook, the state's star

PRETTY THOUGHTS AS
BEAUTY PRESERVERS
Chicago, Oct, 28.—"The idle women
who have nothing to do but think of
their worries—what we call society
women—are the kind I expect as pupils
for my aesthetic physical culture," said
Miss Ivah de Chipenham, exponent of
the “curved thought" idea, fresh from
New York.
"Beautiful thoughts make beautiful
women, and a few well chosen exer
cises aid much” she continued. "I1
have a couple of letters to the best
people of Chicago and hope to be suc
cessful here.
"My pupils are generally young
women who have been married five
or six years, past the honeymoon
stage, and want to get it back by hav
ing their husbands again fall in love
with them. To a large extent their
homeliness is of their own making.
"When they come to me they try to
unbosom their troubles and cry, but
I will not permit it. I never allow1
any of my pupils to dwell on their
troubles. It’s seldom that a woman
over 45 comes to me. She prefers to
be massaged and bleached by the
beauty experts. If a woman is old,
and the beautiful thoughts will not:
remove the wrinkles in her forelieadJ
fast enough I might give her a genthl
massage.
“In developing the body graceful I
bring the mind in conjunction with
physical exercise to obtain the proper
poise. I myself evolved this theory. I
am the pioneer. I bring out that
elongated development of the muscles
Instead of that knotty, lumpy develop
ment which man craves.”

STANDARD OIL TELLS
ANTI-FINE ARGUMENTS
—
Chicago, Oct. 25.—Plans for the tre
mendous eftc-t to be made l>> attor
neys for Standard Oil to have the $29,
240,000 tine Imposed by Judge Landis
wiped out by the United States court
of appeals are disclosed today. Twen
ty-five main points, each one of which,
the attorneys will argue. Is sufficient
to have the record-breaking line de
clared void, will be advanced when the
.case comes to trial In Junuary.
The principal arguments will bo:
That the government attorneys failed
to inform the defense of the Afton 1m
jmunlty agreement.
That the Elkins act, under which the
conviction was secured, was unconsti
tutional.
That as the Hepburn act was passed,
before Indictments were returned, pros
ecution under the provisions of the El-^
kins law was Illegal.
That Judge Landis did not compute
the number of violations correctly.
That certain evidence should not
have been admitted.
That the Standard Oil company ac
cepted the rates In question with the
understanding that they were author
ized rates.
RAISE THeTrICE OF
MEALS 40 PER CEN1
Bi tier, Pa., Oct. 26.—High cost of living
aas taken another jump In Butler, and'
hotels and restaurants advanced rates 40
per cent . rs agreed upon at a meeting of
sixty hotelkeepers and restaurateurs.
While the rates had been advertised In the
county papers, there was general com
plaint among the patrons.
There are 700 families in Butler that
have been taking their Sunday dinners at
the hotels and restaurants. The Butler
and Pittsburg trolley line also brings a
large patronage into town on Sundays,
and there was a noticeable falling off In
the business from these sources.
Officers of the organization of bonifaces
declare that the high price of food prod
ucts and supplies in western Pennsylvania
made such an advance in the price of
meals absolutely Imperative.
HARDY SETTLERS AID
GIRL WHO SEEKS LOVER
Spokane, Oct. 25.—Out among the
niils In the wilds of northern Idaho,
searching the lumber and mining
camps for her lover, who has been
missing since last spring, is Nettie
Williams, daughter of a prominent
family at Providence, R. I., who de
clares she will not give up until she i
linds the man she loves.
Miss Williams declines to give the
name of her fiance, nor will she di
vulge any Information other than that
he was a well to do fanner in Rhode
Island until a little more than a year ;
ago, when the mining fever got into his
blood and he went to Mexico, sinking
his life’s earnings in prospects, which;
turned out a poor venture and he was
forced to toil at ordinary labor.
Too proud to return to his old home
and admit his failure, he wrote a brief
letter, in which he explained his cir
cumstances, telling his promised bride
that he would leave Mexico and begin
again .and she would not hear from
him until he had again built up a fort
une, as he could not think of asking
her to share his poverty with him.
Upon receiving the letter the plucky
young woman started for Mexico with
the determination of finding the man
she loves, regardless of the fact that
his fortune had been swept away. She
reached Mexico only to find he had
gone to Wyoming and she traced him
to several camps there, each time to
learn he had become dissatisfied and
left. She believes he is somewhere
within the borders of Idaho and, al
though she has undergone many hard
ships and suffered from exposure in
making long mountain trips, she has
determined not to give up the search
until she linds the man she loves and
can share with him his poverty or .
riches as she finds It.
Prospectors and timber cruisers are
giving her every assistance, and have
provided saddle and pack horses for
her Journey to the various camps, bu'
so far she has been unable to obtali
only meager clews.
PREDICTS 1000 WORDS
A MINUTE, WIRELESS
East Orange, N. J., Oct. 25.—"Mar
coni will, ten years from now, be send
ing 1,000 words a minute between
America and Europe,” said Thomas A.
Edison, speaking of the inventor’s
latest development of the wireless sys
tem.
“You see,” he added, “there is no ab
sorption to be contended with In us
ing the air, as there is in wire and
cable transmission.”
Mr. Edison said that he believed in
the near future there would be direct
wireless communication between New
York and London. He declared the
wireless system was now on a com
mercial basis.
"Do you think it will be possible to
use the air waves to talk across tht^
ocean?” he was asked.
"No, I think not. The air waves are
too quick, and it would not be possible
to get enough power.”
SIXTY MOORS SLAIN
BY FRENCH SABERS
Casablanca, Oct. 25.—The timely ar- .
rival of General Drude with reinforce
ments alone saved Colonel De Fretay’s
reconnoiteving column from annihila
tion near Taddert. The troops which
were sent out to search for a French
man wandered from the camp and en
countered the enemy. Fully 5,000
whiteclad Moorish warriors threatened
to over whelm Colonel De Fretay's col
umn when General Drude arrived with
two batteries of field and another sec- i
tion of the rapid Are battery and op- I
ened fire.
The Moors were taken by surprise,
and taking advantage of the confusion
into which the natives were thrown.
General Drude quickly massed and’
launched his cavalry In furious charge
against them.
They were unable to withstand the
impetuosity of the attack and broke
and fled. Sixty Moors were left dead
on the field, being killed by sabers.
ROSSLYN AND EX-WIFE
STIR COVENT GARDEN
London, Oct. 25.—A great flutter was

Mrs. Jarrott, whose present husband
is a noted racing chauffeur, became

MAY REHABILITATE
KNICKERBOCKER BANK
New York. Oct. 28.— A movement ha a
been started to save the Knickerbocker*
bank, which went under following the
Helnze copper crash. The plan is to)
have a pool formed among the director
ate of $20,000,000 to guarantee redemption
within two years of Interest-bearing
rertifleates, which will be offered In set
tlement o" accounts against the com
pany. which cannot bo liquidated at
the present time. As a preliminary
step it was said that a receiver for thq
company would be appointed within a
couple of 'Jays with the approval of thej
directors. When the success of the cer
tificates is assured the board will ask
that the receivership be terminated,
with a view of a resumption of busi
ness. Piesident Foster Higgins Jias of
fered to put $500,000 in the pool.
The run on the Knickerbocker hank
was replete with sensational occur
rences.
The women depositors soon tilled the
section of the bunk ordinarily devoted
to them, and the private offices of the
officials were turned over to them. They
were packed almost to suffocation.
“They can keep mine," said a woman
In a closely-fitting gown as she burst
out of the room. “It’s worse than a
bargain sale.”
Most of the women stayed, however,
until their turn came, and went away
sighing with relief.
Joseph B. Brown, second vice presi
dent of the trust company, was tq
charge, and went among the depositors
endeavoring to reassure them. Shortly
after 11 o’clock A. Foster Higgins, the,
new president, arrived and joined his
assurance to those of the other officers
Shortly before 12 o'clock Vice Presi
dent Brown mounted a chair In the cem
ter of the lobby underneath the cut
glass, gold-mounted chandelier, which
had been pointed out to all visitors for
its magnificence.
“I want to read you what the stntq
superintendent of banking says about
the Knickerbocker,’’ cried Mr. Brown
He got immediate attention and read
that Acting Superintendent George W
Skinner had found the company solvent
on September 17.
There was a cheer which echoed
about the marble walls, and a waving
of lace handkerchiefs from the women’s
department.
“Good old Knickerbocker,” cried one
of the depositors.
A cynic who had just squeezed in thd
outer door remarked that the man
who shouted “Good old Knickerbocker”
was mighty near the paying teller’s
wicket.
At 12:30 a telephone message came
from the downtown headquarters, and
Mr. Brown again mounted the chair
in the center of the room.
Owing to a shortage of ready cash,
officers of the company have decided to
suspend payment until tomorrow morn
ing,” was the despairing news hs
shouted.
The announcement was greeted with
howls and Jeers. There were 300 people
In the line which extended out to the
marble steps on Fifth avenue. Piles of
gold certificates are still on view In the
cages of the paying tellers, and the de
positors clamored for that money. Not
a check was paid after the announce
ment, however, and the police, under
Acting Captain Bernard Kelleher, were
finally able to clear the bank.
The women were particularly indig
nant and could not understand.
“Well, I’ve still got my check book,”
was the inspiration which came to one
of them. “I’ll buy a lot of things i\nd
check it all out.” Another woman de
clared that she was absolutely “broke,”
but rejoiced in credit at several depart
ment stores. She found a friend In the
crowd that was watching outside, and
dragged her off on a shopping expedi
tion.
The windows of the Waldorf-Astoria
on the Thirty-fourth street aide were
crowded with spectators of the unusual
sight.
When the downtown bank at No. 66
Broadway opened there were seventy
In line. Including two priests and a few
women. There were six clerks waiting
to make deposits. Although the three
paying tellers seemed to have no end of
bills piled up about them, they made no
progress against the stream of fright
ened depositors. Clerks and uniformed
attendants took pains to keep the con
stantly increasing line tucked Into the
main office of the bank that it might
not reach Broadway and excite the
throng.
Early In the morning the trust com
pany fell back on the clause providing
for a five day notice on certificates of
deposit and refused to pay them. Run
ning accounts were paid In cash, certi
fied checks being refused.
One man In the line had a band box In
which to carry away his account. Oth
ers carried suit cases, but more filled
their pockets or wrapped their bills In
newspapers.
There were 400 In line at this place
when the announcement was made that
the company had temporarily sus
pended. Several women took It for
granted that their money was gone
and burst into tears. They were led
Into the corridor of the building wher^
they added to the excitement by oc
casional shrieks. At 1:45, after much
effort, the bank was cleared and tho
doors closed.
Fully one-fourth of the runners at
the Harlem branch were women, many
of them widows on the verge of tears.
One woman, who had an account of
$1,069, was urged to keep her account
open with the $69.
"Not for me," she said to the bank
officials. "I want every penny, and I'll
do my own banking for awhile.”
A large crowd gathered about the
hank when the line reached the street
and was turned up Lennox avenue.
The police, under Lieutenant Maher,
remembering the robberies that fol
lowed a run on the Harlem Savings
bank several years ago, were on the
watch for pickpockets.
At 10:30 an automobile arrived from
the downtown branch with $50,000.
This encouraged the line of depositors,
but did not diminish It.
It fell to Andrew Kane, a wealthy
wholesale butcher, who Is well known
In Harlem and connected with that
branch, to break the newrs of suspen
sion shortly after 12 o'clock. He first
telephoned for the police, and imme
diately after the announcement the
bank was cleared.
Manager John Banbey, of the Bronx
branch of the Knickerbocker, made a
desperate effort to check the run. He
showed a deposit of $76,000 that a big
Bronx contractor had made that morn
ing, and persuaded several of his big
depositors to send their deposits as
usual. At the time of suspension at
12:30 $350,000 had been paid out, and
the police, under Captain Price, had to
drive seventy-five worried customers
from the building.

I
; ROOSEVELT GLAD
OF NEGRO BABIES
Washington, Oct. 26.—The presl4
dent's special made a stop of threw
minutes en route from Louisiana at
the town of Mound Bayou, Miss.,
Where the Inhabitants are all negroes.
Vractlcally the entire population waa
congregated at the station and tho
president spoke to them as follows, his
speech being now reported for the first
time: i
, "It Is a great pleasure for me to
see you and 1 have heard much of
the prosperity of your town. I am
glad to learn that you have not per
mitted a saloon In the limits. Tho
qualities that make a good citizen must
come from within and not from with
out. The law can give absolute equal
ity of treatment, absolute Justice be
fore the law, to all men, big or lit
tle; It should treat them all alike.
But after the law has done Its part
It remains true that the fundamental
factor In any man's success In life.
Is his own character, his own capacity
for work, for doing Justly by Ills neigh
bors and In getting Justice from them
in return.
Cannot Help Triflers.
"No one can give It to them from
without. All that can be done Is to try
|to get them fair play, and then to
trust to their own qualities for the act
ual achievements. If the man gamble*
pr drinks. If he is a trliler and Idler, If
be does not do his work; if the end of
each year sees him a little In debt'nnd
complaining not of himself but that
pomebody outside has not done as well
by him us he expected, If he complain*
that the weather was not good, or th«
cotton failed, but never mentions his
own fault, that is the type of man we
cnnnot help. If the woman does not do
her part fairly nnd honestly In the
household, or If each does not act so
that the person In the next house are
glad to have them ns neighbors, then
failure is sure to come,
i "I welcome all that I have learned
about this town. I am glad to see the
babies here I hope you will see them
well brought up, that you will have
good schooling for them, and yet that
you will remember that no school can
entirely take the place of the home
teachings. The father and mother have
to do their duty to the children, for
the teacher cannot wholly take their
place. Teach them reading and writ
ing, but also teach them to do well in
dustrially."
The speech received the closest atten
tion and at the close was roundly ap
plauded.
HADLEY TO HELP
YOUNG IN HIS SUIT
Minneapolis, Oct. 26.—Attorney Gen
eral Hadley, of Missouri, will assist
Attorney General Young, of Minnesota.
In his appeal to the United States su
preme court, growing out of the sen
tence for contempt of court Imposed
by Judge Lochren for the disregarding
by the attorney general of the Injunc
tion restraining him from taking any
action In the way of enforcing the
commodity rate law passed at the last
session of the legislature.
T. D. O'Brien, special counsel, and
George I). Sampson, assistant attorney
general, are now In Washington with
an application for a writ of habeas
corpus looking to Mr. Young's release,
and Mr. Hadley will be heard In the
argument on the order to show cause.
A letter to Mr. Young from Attorney
Gen era! Hadley, received today, an
nounced his Intention of giving all the
legal help In his power.
As president of the association of at
torneys general, and himself the sub
ject of no less than eighteen federal In
junctions covering the same Issues as
are at stake in Minnesota, Mr. Young
was most anxious to secure Mr. Had
ley's aid and he thinks he is fortunate
In obtaining It.
Mr. Hadley, since Missouri came In
conflict with the railroads on the rate
question, has been quite aggressive and
has compelled the railroads to seek
the aid of many enjoining' orders.
The eleventh amendment to the fed
eral constitution upon which the attor
ney general Is relying In his ap
plication to the supreme court relates
to the liability of states to suit. It
reads:
"The judicial power of the United;
States shall not be construed to ex
tend to any suit In law or equity com
menced or prosecuted against one ofi
the United States by citizens of another,
state, or by citizens of any foreign
state."
