NEED MORE MONEY
Men With Capital Slow to
Risk Speculations.
FRENCH ECONOMIST'S VIEW
M. Paul Iieroy-Bcalieu Says There
Must Be Falling In Prices and
Greater Supply of Metals to
Make Active Markets.
NEW YORK, July 21. The stock market
of the past week has revealed the cross
currents of speculative sentlmeVit, running
on the one hand, through the channels of
the Northwestern & Pacific Railroad
stocks where efforts centered for an
advance In prices and a stimulation of
speculative Interest, and on the other
hand in the industrial group, where evi
dences of trade reaction caused some
depression and hesitation. The easing:
tendency of the money markets has been
a reviving influence on securities, hut this
was under restraint of the dubious ulterior
prospect and the short time remaining be
fore the strain of the Interior demand for
currency to move the crops may be ex
pected to draw on New York banking
resources. The stirring of speculative
Interest in a limited group of stocks nag
not proved convincing of any revival of
substantial investment demand, which
must be relied upon for any conclusive
relief of the troubles caused by the scanty
available supplies of capital. The indica
tions of trade reaction are in accordance
with the expectation generally felt ever
since the disturbance in the securities
market first gave warning of the forces
at work to that end.
Metals Must Be Cheaper.
A recent article by M. Paul Leroy
Bealleu, the distinguished French econo
mist, analyzing the problems of the de
cline In investment securities and the
prospects for their recovery, is given
respectful attention among students of
conditions. His conclusion that a period
of Inflation has led up to the present
situation commands general attention.
The course of events bears out the as
sumption that, "'Bank liabilities cannot
expand Indefinitely, bank reserves cannot
fall off continually, nor can business per
petually support high money rates."
There must come, first, a shrinkage in
speculative securities, next a fall in prices
of raw materials of manufacturers,
notably, metals. Real capital he holds,
presents an Insufficient supply for na
tions whose spirit of enterprise Is so far
stimulated as to lose sight of all limita
tions. Meantime, foreign supplies of
capital are absorbed In unusually large
home enterprises and were depleted also
by the destruction of capital in war loans
and In the San Francisco earthquake.
The summing up of M. Leroy-Beaulieu
Is that, "The existing situation In the
financial markets offer capitalists and
investors generally the opportunity of
which they have been deprived for nearly
20 years, of securing a suitable return
on their invested capital."
Nevertheless the Investment demand In
the New York market still halts. The
copper market remained in an unstable
"""'lit1"" after the reduction made pre
viously by the principal producers and
sales made below their quotation.
Reports from the Iron and steel markets
were of a falling off In orders for finished
products and a condition of complete dull
ness in the Iron market, with fears of a
possible deadlock betwen buyers and
sellers such as characterized the copper
market. Other metals at the same time
declined in prices. The sustained activity
In the branches of the iron and steel
trades is admittedly due to the working
oft of accumulating orders and to the
completion of plans of construction partly
entered upon before the shortage of
capital became manifest. The completion
of many of these projects has been with
money borrowed on onerous terms. In
1903, which is the latest period for com
parison of similar conditions, the rail
roads were pushed for capital supplies
and forced to retrench, but without
marked effect on the resumption of Iron
L products until during the second half of
the year, when the trade was In deep
depression before the expiration of Sep
tember. News of the crops last week was satis
factory and added to the confidence that
the country will have an available surplus
to supply the urgent needs of Europe with
highly profitable rates. Money rates re
laxed here and abroad.
LINEMEN STRIKE AT AN END
Telephone Men and Employers
" Reach a Compromise in Utah.
SALT LAKE CITY, July 21. The strike
which has kept union linemen out of the
service of the Independent and Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Companies for
the past two months Is likely to be set
tled as soon as the local unions vote on
an agreement submitted today. The
terms were submitted to the companies
by Vice-President M. J. Sullivan of the
International Union and the district of
ficials and were accepted today. Copies
have been mailed to all locals In Utah,
Idaho and Montana, and a referendum
will be taken a matter of three or four
days, after which the trouble will In all
likelihood be over. The terms of the
agreement are withheld from the public,
but are said to be In the nature of a
compromise.
MINERS ACCEPT THE SCALE
Agree With Operators That They
Had Asked Too Much.
BOISB. Idaho. July 21. (Special.) A
settlement has been reached on the ques
tion that was raised some weeks ago
at Silver City and Delamar relative to
wages of miners. The men made a re
quest that an increase of 25 cents all
around be made. This was referred to
the home office of the companies Inter
ested. The replies showed that it was
not practicable to make a raise In the
pay. and the showing made was so
satisfactory to the men that both unions
voted to accept the conclusions of the
companies and leave the old scale In ef
fect. This, was carried In the Silver City
union by a vote of 68 to 42 and In the
one at Delamar by 70 to 20.

noon. While there he shot himself in the
head and stomach.

CLOCDBCRSTS NEAR BUTTE
Water Damages Columbia Garden
and Delays Great Northern.
BUTTE, Mont.. July 21. In conse
quence of a cloudburst near the head of
Elk Park Canyon, east of Butte, at 6
o'clock this evening a flood of water
swept through Columbia Gardens, the
city's big recreation park, and flooded
a portion of the street car tracks, to the
gardens. Heavy damage was done, es
pecially to the copper precipitating plants
along Silver Bow Creek. The storm was
at its worst on the west side of the
mountain ridge.
The damage to 'Columbia Gardens was
nominal, the water having confined itself
chiefly to the broad driveways. The
westbound North Coast limited on the
Northern Pacific was delayed for some
time by reason of the obstructions
washed on the tracks. The delay to trains
on the Great Northern will amount to
something like 18 hours.
TORNADO NEAR LACROSSE, WIS.
Railroads Washed Out and ' All
Traffic at a Standstill.
LA CROSSE, Wis., July 21. A tornado
visited the section north of here in the
vicinity of Viroqua today. Communica
tion in all directions Is cut off and wires
are tlown. Serious washouts occurred on
all five railroads entering La Crosse and
traffic Is at a standstill.
RAIN TAKES OCT THE TRACKS
Railroad Traffic Out of Winona,
' Minn., Is Abandoned.
WINONA, Minn., July 21. Rain today
washed out the tracks of the main lines
at iba Kortiiwestarn. the Milwaukee and.
the Burlington roads. Through Chicago
trains on these, roads are tied up here.
When the trains arrived at Winona the
passengers were taken to hotels and the
trains were abandoned. The Northwest
ern and the Burlington roads have wash
outs at Lytles and several hundred feet
of the main track is out at Laguna.
PRIVILEGE IS ABOLISHED
Preachers Must Pay Full Fare Like
Common Citizens.
CHICAGO. July 21. (Special.) Clergy
men, charity-workers, inmates of sol
diers' and sailors' homes hereafter when
they travel will pay full fare, the same
as ordinary citizens. Ever since the
2-cent rate laws began to be agitated,
the reduced fares for clergymen have
been "up in the air." More than 100,000
annual certificates now In existence will
be cancelled. In the West these grant
a rate of Vfi cents a mile and in the East
2 cents a mile. The general inclination
of the country to demand a flat 2-cent
rate determined the action. The . roads
feel that they can show no favors, and
that the present rate is low enough for
anybody.

SLAYS WITH Ail AX
Farmer Kills Son, Wife and
Her Foster-Father.
BEATS OUT THEIR BRAINS
Starts After Neighbor Who Sought
to Interfere, and Is in Turn
Laid Out With Discharge
From a Shotgun.
NTJNICA, Mich., July ZL Henry
Scutcfteon, a farmer about 60 years of
age, living near this village, today ran
amuck with an ax, killing his invalid
son, his wife and her foster-father.
Scutcheon was later shot by Henry Mc
Clellan, a neighbor whom the crazed
murderer had also attacked.
The dead: ,
HENRY SCUTCHEON.
POLLY SCUTCHEON, his wife.
SCUTCHEON, his 19-year-old son.
GEORGE ANNING, Mrs. Scutcheon's
foster-father.
The Scutcheon farmhouse had apparent
ly always been a happy home except for
the cloud which the son's invalidism cast
over the family.
Today, with no warning, so far as is
known. Scutcheon suddenly murderously
attacked his son with an ax. He crushed
the boy's head frightfully. When his wife
interfered he turned on her and pursued
the frightened, screaming woman from
the house to the road, where he knocked
her down with his weapon. He then
rushed back to 'the house and murdered
his foster father-in-law.
Next he tried to destroy himself. The
maddened man gashed his throat and
wrists with a razor and took some parls
green. His wounds did not weaken him
and the poison did not take immediate
effect. :
Ax in hand, he returned to the road,
where he had felled his wife a few mo
ments before. The first blow did not kill
her and she had been carried into the
house of Henry McClellan, nearby. Mc
Clellan rushed to another neighbor's for
help.
When Scutcheon found that Ills wife
was in the McClellan home alive, he
smashed a window with his ax, jumped
through it and again attacked her. This
time he crushed her skull. He then left
the McClellan home and returned to his
own house, but when Mr. McClellan re
turned from his search for help, the
crazed man came out and started over
toward him, saying:
"1 want you, too."
"I will shoot if you come across the
road," replied McClellan, who had armed
himself with a shotgun. Despite the
warnings. Scutcheon came across. Mc
Clellan thereupon shot him dead.
