Mr. Taft is not inclined to discuss Phil ippine Issues until after the official banquet, which is to be given him Mon day night when he will outline the future policy of the Government toward the Islands. The general Impression caused among the Filipinos ny the Secretary's speech at the opening of the Assembly yesterday Is excellent, but the American papers here call for a prompt announce ment of the Government's policy toward the Islands, declare that Mr. Taft evaded "any positive statements on the subject and allege that his speech was a rehash of the addresses which he made here two years ago and has since delivered In the United States. A clash occurred In the Assembly today . between the -president, Sergio Osmena, ; Nationalist, and Domlnado Gomez, who seconded the president's nomination yes terday In an eloquent speech and who during the session yesterday delivered an address declaring against bringing poll tics into legislative business and asking the delegates to show their patriotism by forsaking party affiliations and legis lating for the benefit of the Filipino peo ple.

TRADE HAS NOT DECREASED American Asiatic Association Ex pects No War With Jpan. NEW YORK. Oct. 17. That there has not been a falling off in trade with Japan following the Japanese-Kussian War, but on the contrary a healthful resumption of normal conditions, was the statement of James R. Morse, president of the Ameri-can-Aslatio Association, at the annual meeting of the organization today. Con ditions In China have not been so good, but there are prospects of recovery from depressed conditions. In the secretary's report, John Ford said: "The obviously temporary character of the settlement of the Japanese exclusion question In California tended to encourage rather than to check the circulation of foolish and mischievous rumors of im pending war between the two countries. All the influence of your executive com mittee has been exerted to demonstrate the absurdity of assuming that there could be any serious quarrel between the two governments In dealing with the Issue raised In California." James R. Morse, of New York, was re elected president. Theodore B. Wilcox, of Portland, Or., was among the vice presidents chosen.

There are scores of these strong men and each one has his ample following. Foremost among them all is Walter Macarthur, the ablest labor leader in the West He not only has opposed Sehmltz and his crowd, but he has taken the platform against Mr. Mc Carthy. . He appears with Dr. Taylor at public gatherings and, championing the cause of labor, exhorts the union host to show that It Is second to no element In the community In its desire for honest and efficient gpvcrnoisjit, Mr. ilacarthur, is but one of the many labor leaders w. are out with all their force for Dr. Tay lor. P. W. McCabe. former secretary tf the Labor Council, Michael Casey, president of the Board of Works, and Ralph Mc Leran. three . of the strongest men In the union movement, have allied them selves with Dr. Taylor. Many Labor Men for Taylor. Among several unions there Is a decid ed Taylor sentiment The employes of the Union Iron Works have arranged a meeting and 'have Invited Dr. Taylor to address them. The Carmen's Union gave Mr. McCarthy an Indorsement by a bare majority. It would -be foolish, however. for one to delude himself into the oeiiei that Mr. McCorthy was not to get the bulk of the labor vote. He will get it and the only question is: Will it be suffi cient to elect him? The conditions brought about by the fire will work great Injury to Dr. Taylor. Thousands of voters have not yet re turned to San Francisco, but have taken up their residence in the cities about the bay. These are all business people who would cast their votes for Dr. Taylor. Five to 10,000 votes will be lost to him in this way. Dr. Taylor is not a politician. No "Interests" are behind him. . On the con trary, the magnates whom Mr. Heney has pledged himself to prosecute are aware that they can get no respite Irom Dr. Tayior. There is no reason to believe that Mr. Ryan will poll more than one-half as many votes as either of his competitors. 3S J. Os;den Armour, Who Is Hatuis; m Battle With Bulls on Chicago Wheat Market It is also an assured fact that he will cut far more heavily Into the Taylor than the McCarthy vote. Most of the citizens are unable to understand why he does not withdraw and leave a free field for Taylor. Perhaps the answer lies In his youth and bis ambition. There Is nothing else that could account for his attitude. TRYING FORD ONCE MORE HEXET MAY KELT OJf CIRCUM STANTIAL EVIDENCE. Signs Are ThatRnef Will Not Testi fy on Trial for Bribing Su pervisor Phillips. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 17 The first day of the second bribery trial of ex-Attorney-General Tlrey L. Ford, chief counsel for the United Railroads com passed the examination of 16 veniremen, of whom six were accepted subject to peremptory challenge and 10 were dis missed, mostly for declarations of bias. Chiefly notable among the questions asked by Assistant -District Attorney Heney, who conducted the examinations for the people, was a query as to whether the venireman was willing to vote for conviction on circumstantial evidence alone, provided it satisfied him of the defendant's- guilt. As it has been made plain that Abe Ruef Is the one witness who can transform the Ford case from a purely circumstantial into a direct case, this reiterated question of Mr. Heney's may mean that Ruef Is not to be called. The pending trial Is on the charge of bribing Supervisor Jennings J. Phillips in the sum of $1000 to vote for the trolley franchise.

The Butte bank was largely controlled by the Heinze Interests, F. Augustus Heinze being the principal stockholder, and news of Otto Heinze & Co.'s sus pension from the Stock Exchange and the failure of the Hamburg firm pre cipitated a ruu which immediately caused suspension of the bank. In a statement issued by the officials It was declared that the bank Is perfect ly solvent and that suspension is sole ly for the protection or depositors ana for obtaining time to arrange the bank's affairs. The Mercantile Na tional of this city Is the Butte bank's correspondent, but is not affected by its suspension.' A number of meetings were held to day in the offices of Otto Heinze & Co., but no statement of any sort was given out. it is said that the claims against the firm, growing principally out of the attempted corner in United Copper, may reach $2,500,000. The firm Is com posed of Otto C. Heinze, Arthur P. Heinze and Max M. Sphultze. What the Heinzes Say. F. Augustus Heinze said this morn ing: "The trouble of the United Copper Company are Internal, and were brought about by differences between certain Interests.' I hSve much to do at this time in bringing about a set tlement of affairs, and there is nothing more that I caq. say at this time. "In view of the difficulties In which my brother's firm finds itself, J have determined that I should give literally all of my time to aid him In straight ening out affairs. In aid of this. I have resigned as president, remaining, however, as a director." Otto Heinze & Co. made. this state ment at the opening of the stock mar ket today: "Arthur P. Heinze is no longer a member of the firm of Otto Heinze & Co. The firm of Otto Heinze & Co. feels itself perfectly solvent and Will meet and pay all its Just and legal obligations In full. The firm, however, refuses to pay obligations which It does not consider either legal or Just until further adjudication of the mat ter has been made. Rather than sub mit to such unjust demands, It prefers to permit Itself temporarily to be sus pended from the privileges of the Stock Exchange." United Copper was weak and active on the curb market today. . The firsts common .stock was at $13. as compared with $15 last night It quickly dropped to $10 and then recovered to $12.50. Heinze's Meteoric Career. Heinze Is one of the most pictur esque and remarkable figures in the finance of America. A graduate of the Columbia School of Mines, he went West without capital and began the development of copper properties which .brought him into conflict with the great Anaconda Company, now a part of the Amalgamated Copper Com pany. This conflict lasted for years, and was fought out from court to court until a year or more ago a cotupromise was effected. The terms of the peace agreement were not made public, but It is known that Mr. Heinze' received enough as his share to make him several times a millionaire. , For some time past the situation in the ConnAr Rharo. ha. hAA n . i. .. favorable. For a number of weeks the a-maigamatea Copper Company has been holding down the production of Its mines to about half its normal out put, on account of a heavy overproduc tion of the ore and the refusal of con sumer to buy at the prices which had prevailed. Since then the price of the metal has slowly but steadily con tinued to decline. Following the policy of the Amal gamated Copper Company and Phelps Dodge Interests, the Cerro de Pasco mines. In Bolivia, South America, It was announced today have reduced their output to 75 per cent of the nor mal. The mines have been turning Ut at mhe rate of 24.000,000 pounds a veRr- These mines are controlled by -B- Haggin and the Hearst estate. . BANK CLOSES TO PREVENT RUN State Savings of Butte Suspends, but Will Pay AIL BUTTH, Mont.

A well-known authority on Rheuma tism gives the following valuable, yet simple and harmless, prtscrptlon. wheh any one can easily prepare at home': Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three ounces. Mix by shaking well In a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal add at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good presenta tion pharmacy at Small cost and. be ing of vegetable extraction, are harm less to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken regu larly for a few days, is said to over come almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling,, if any, dimin ishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without In juring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give perma nent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. directors, who posted this notice on the door: - Because of unsettled conditions and rumors that cannot be verified that may cause unusual and excessive demands by depositors, and owing to a shortage of cur rency and inability to secure additional currency Immediately with which to pay demands which may be made, the manage ment has deemed It advisable In the inter est of all depositors to suspend lor the time being. The bank is solvent. There was no demonstration and less than 100 persons congregated in front of the bank at any time today. The bank was closed because the directors antici pated a run, which would at this time prove disastrous to the financial welfare of the city. It was explained that, in the event of a run, the bank would not be In a position to pay out all demands, no more so than any other bank doing business in the city. The rather tight condition of money, the failure of Otto Heinze & Co., of New York, and the gen eral air of uncertainty pervading the country entered Into the conclusion of the directors to close. It is stated that the bank is solvent and will pay out Inside of 60 days. Otto Heinze & Co. did not owe the bank a dollar and F. A. Heinze owes it less than $300,000, which is amply secured. Mr. Largey, the president, owes It about $7500 and he Is able to pay many times that amount The bank holds on hand about $800,000 and its deposits amount to about $3,000,000. There are about 6000 depositors and of this number 575 are commercial depositors, the others are savings of worklngmen and women. The directors announce that they will proceed with the building of the new bank, which is nearing completion and which will cost about $200,000. State Ex aminer Collins will take charge of the bank tomorrow. The State Savings Bank (has 6.000 de positors with more than $3,000,000. Its depositors are mainly small wage-earners, and the loss will be felt keenly throughout the laboring circles of the city. The last statement Bhowed it had borrowed $150,000 and its reserve was be low 15 per cent of deposits required by law. F. Augustus Heinze bought control of the bank In 1905, increasing the capital stock from $100,000 to $300,000. P. S. Lar gey, a reputed millionaire, of this city, was president. Mr. Heinze upon taking charge, effected a complete re-organlza-tion. The failure is one of the largest in the history of the state. OTHER MONTANA BANKS SAFE State Is Interested Mainly Because of Heinze's Personality. ) HELENA, Mont, Oct 17. State Bank Examiner A. T. Collins was here this af ternoon and will arrive in Butte some time tonight. Tomorrow he will assume charge of the State Savings Bank and will at once begin a thorough Investiga tion to determine if the institution, is solvent. The feeling In Butte is that the whole matter will adjust Itself within a few days and that the State Savings Bank will reopen its doors. ' The Helena anks are not in the least affected by the New York copper slump and the officers of the four institutions In this city, three national and one sav ings bank, announced today that the closing of the Butte bank and the sudden drop In United copper stocks would not Influence the money market in this city In the least degree. The banks through out Montana, with the possible exception of Butte, are in a most prosperous condi tion, all carrying large resource funds.

The difficulties of the firm arise chiefly from its connection with a mining company at Teplltz, Bohemia, in which much capital was locked up. In addition, the firm has interests In sev eral coal mines In Austria and was concerned In several real estate ven tures. Near Vienna it had established a so-called "caumaclte works," de signed to exploit a new method of de veloping unusually high temperatures in furnaces. In connection with this enterprise was a glass factory. It Is also declared that Haller, Soehle & Co bad' put considerable sums in real estate mortgages. All these assets are hard to convert quickly into cash without heavy loss, but the bankers holding the paper of the firm believe the liabilities prob ably can be met, if liquidation is not too much hurried. According to one report. Haller, Soehle & Co. were heavily hit by the falling coppers and affected by the difficulties of Otto Heinze & Co., but this apparently is a mistake.
