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.

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.

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" Colorado Flyer Runs Into Cattle Train . .KANSAS CITY.
