STOCK PRICES GO
LOWEST IN YEARS
Fear of Continued Fight
Against Corporations
Has Effect.
INTEREST RATES ARE HIGH
Strike Disturbs Business, but Not
Seriously Failure of Pope Com
pany Creates Considerable
Apprehension.
NEW YORK. Aug. 18. The decline
in prices which has been in progress
for some time continued during the
past week, with many securities reach
ing the lowest quotations in years.
Successive waves of liquidation during
the past few months have swept away
the profits of years, and have made the
stock market extremely sensitive and
vulnerable. The contributing causes of
the situation have been and are the
fears of a further restrictive campaign
against corporations by the next Con
gress and the Legislatures of various
states, higher rates for money, with
reduced Bupply of available funds, ap
parent indifference to the decline, in
stock prices on the part of Interests
with large capital investments at stake,
visible signs of weak spots In the trade
situation, and monetary conditions that
preclude any hope of Immediate aid
from Europe for American business en
terprises or stock market operations.
Report on Standard Hurts.
The week began with the market
ander a cloud. Liquidation had not run
Its course, even after the 10 and 15
points decline of the preceding week.
The heavy reduction in loans the pre
vious Saturday hardly compensated for
the large loss in cash, and with another
Government report on the Standard OH
Company published on Monday, Wall
street began the week nervous and ap
prehensive. Combined with this were
the expresslops of a Cabinet 'member
concerning the proposed plan of prose
cution of corporation managers who vi
olate the laws. As a result, holders of
securities did not know how long their
Bhares would be immune from attacks.
Fears of further proceedings against
corporations made the capitalists back
of them indifferent bs to the outcome,
and It was obvious that they were giv
ing no support to the market.
The strike of the telegraphers, while
not very disturbing to business, caused
annoyance, and the most was made of
is as an unfavorable Incident. More le
gitimate causes for lower prices were
the failure of the Pope Manufacturing
Company and the apprehension created
of similar embarrassment in other
quarters. An example of the state of
the money market is given by the fact
that the Consolidated Gas Company,
which is dominated by Standard Oil in
terests, was forced to borrow on one
year notes at 7 per cent. A large
amount of money was loaned for six
months at 7 per cent.
Shrinkage In Realty Values.
Commercial paper seems to be dis
' counting slowly and the banks reported
many clients who seldom come t them
for accommodations, forced to borrow
because of poor collections. On the
other hand, call loans were surpris
ingly low, but this reflected merely
the desire of lenders to keep their capi
tal in hand. The shrinkage in stock
has been sufficient to allow income
yields to keep pace with prevailing
interest Tates.
Many substantial properties sold
during the past week, from J15.000.000
to $25,000,000 less In market value than
on August 1, and prime railroad stocks
at present dividend rates, have begun
to return investors from 6 to 7 per cent,
whereas they offered a yield of. but 4,
to 5 per cent not so many months ago.
Domestic money conditions have been
somewhat duplicated abroad, the most
striking example of this being afforded
by the Bank of England's action in
raising its official rate of 4 per cent.
This was more remarkable in view of
the fact that Its reserves increased 4
per cent and went above the figure
of the year before. Prior to its recent
advance the bank had announced its re
fusal to discount for the open market
at less than 4H per cent. The whole
run of this plan appears to be to clear
the London field of the many bills
which the Joint banks have accepted
in large quantities the past two
months and which were beginning to
threaten the gold reserve of the Bank
of England. Evidently, that Institu
tion determined this year to take mat
ters in hand early enough to prevent a
recurrence of the gold exports to
American markets, which resulted in
such confusion 'in November and De
cember of last year.
Look to Treasury for Aid.
Locally, there is a disposition to rely
on the Treasury again for aslstance,
but so far that department has not
made any sign. Meanwhile . the New
York banks are low in reserve, the in
terior Is keeping up its exchange
against New York and the crop-moving
season, which drains the reserve cities
each year, despite the talk of the abil
ity of the Interior to finance Itself, is
moving along to its flood.
AMERICAN'S GAME SPOILED
Spanish Authorities Expel Man
Waiting to Flee With Woman.
SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Aug. 18. The
leading topic of conversation here at pres
ent is an attempted elopement In which an
American played an Important part. Some
days ago it was noticed that an automo
bile was frequently standing in the street
of the neighboring village of Pasages, oc
cupied by a man and a servant maid.
This attracted the attention of the au
thorities, who began to make inquiries.
The man was taken before the Governor
of San Sebastian. It appears that he. an
American, was awaiting the arrival of a
Cuban woman, married to a Spaniard, and
that she was resolved to elope with him.
He has been expelled from Spain on the
pretext that he did not possess documents
to prove his nationality.
WHAT LED TO SYLLABUS
Papal Document Aimed at "Mod
ern Roman Catholic Theologians.
ROME, Aug. 1?. It Is the consensus
of opinion here that the recent Papal
Syllabus "reproving and proscribing"
65 doctrinal errors of modern Catholic
writers was Inspired by a petition
which Pius X recently received from
eminent French, German, Austrian and
Italian prelates, requesting the aboli
tion of the "Index Expurgatorlus," or.
If that were Impossible, at least, to al
low the condemand authors to reply
In self-defense. "We ask that every
accused Catholic may be allowed to
defend himself either in writing or ver
bally." This movement, the expression of
which Is contained In the petition, is
condemned by the Vatican organ II'
Osservatore Romano, and curiously
stamped as "a plot of the Anglo-Saxon
Modernists." The petitioners came to
gether in mutual communication
through an effort to erect a monument
to the late Professor Schell, a theolo
gian whose liberalism had caused his
books to be placed upon the Index. A
committee was selected to collect
funds for the undertaking. It Included
the Archbishop of Bamberg, the Bishop
of Passau, Professors Diekamp. Braun,
Funk, JDiroff, and Hesse of Munster,
Wurzburg, Tubingen, Bonn, Strassburg
and Bamberg, and a number of other
eminent theologians.
On the news of this formidable array
reaching the Vatican, Plus X at once
wrote to Professor Commer of Vienna,
who had been a bitter opponent of
Schell, disapproving the formation of
the committee, whose members he de-
scribed as "rebels and Ignorant per-'
eons." The Bishop of Bamberg and
the Bishop of Passau thereupon with
drew, but their places were quickly
taken by others quite as important.
From this Inception grew the pow
erful liberal movement within the
church itself, which has recently placed
itself on record by the petition entreat
ing the Pope to abolish the Index, or,
at all events, to give serious guaran
tees that henceforth the action of the
congregation In condemning books
shall be reduced to a minimum with
the privilege of appeal and defense on
the part of the proscribed authors.
The reply of the Holy Father has
been the Syllabus containing the 65
errors, drawn entirely from the works
of the petitioners and their col
leagues. ,
GIRLS DON'T WORK ENOUGH
THIXK TOO Ml'CH OF CLOTHES,
SAYS HETTY GREEN.
She Was Giddy as Jlie Rest, but De
clares She Has More
Sense Now.
NEW YORK. Aug. 18. (Special.)
Young girls of today are too extrava
gant. They think too much about
clothes and they don't have enough to
do. If they had some useful work to
occupy their thoughts they would not
run to such extravagance."
So spoke Mrs. Hetty Green, the world's
greatest woman financier, when asked
her opinion on some topics of current
interest. From her corner in Chemical
National Bank, she watched the tide of
girls, young and old. In Summer finery
turning toward Brooklyn bridge and
Coney Island.-
"I speak from experience." she added.
"Perhaps you don't know it, but I was
quite a belle when I was young. But I
outgrew all that sort of thing. The rain
bow silks and metal fingers are not to
my taste. I used to wear those things.
I used to have more fixings and trim
mings on me than there Is on a Christ
mas tree. I have more sense now. So
ciety hasn't enough to do to keep it
out of mischief. Those so-called fashion
able women spend all their time these
days at bridge and smoking cigarettes
and drinking pale tea and strong whisky.
Every one of them ought to be working."
CHOSE BRYAN'S DAUGHTER
Elected President of Jane Jefferson
Club at Denver.
DENVER, Colo., Aug. 17. That the
destinies of an organization formed to
carry out the principles of the founder
of Democracy and to perpetuate the
memory of his mother, should be
guided by the daughter of the man
twice selected to uphold the .Teffer
sonlan policies seems perculiarly be
fitting. Probably the Jane Jefferson
Democratic club had these appropriate
circumstances In mind yesterday when
it elected Ruth Bryan Leavitt, the
elder daughter of William Jennings
Bryan, its president for the current
term.
Mrs. Leavitt. who is the wife of Wil
liam H. Leavitt, the artist, is the
daughter of her father, when it comes
to ability. She has written a play, and
done a number of things which would
keep her in the public eye, even if she
did not bear a famous- name. Should
she be at the head of the club when
the. next campaign begins, the Interest
of the whole country kwlll be turned
to see whether she swings the vote
of the women over whom she presides
and their masculine following to the
support of her distinguished father.
At the present time, Mrs. Leavitt,
with her husband and two children,
are visiting the Bryan home in Ne
braska, and on her return next month
a reception will be tendered her by the
club. ,
WIFE SLAYS ON STREET
Aged Dyer Shot Dead on Boulevard
. ' Because of Infidelity.
PARIS. Aug. 18. A man and woman
were walking along the Boulevard des
Itallenes in the early evening, when sud
denly the woman drew a revolver from
her reticule, applied the muzzle to the
man's head and fired. The victim was
Charles Florentln Lllllerlat, a dyer, and
the woman was his wife, an English
woman by birth. The man was taken to
a chemist's shop, but expired almost Im
mediately. The woman, who was ar
rested, stated that she had killed her hus
band owing to her having that morning
obtained proof that for some time past
he had been maintaining improper rela
tion with one of their apprentices, a girl
of 18. She manifested no repentance for
her act. M.. Llllierait was more than 60
years of age.
KILLS "GATOR" IN JERSEY
Third One Taken This Year Pres
ence Unaccountable.
LONG BRANCH, N. J., Aug. 18. Paul
Dametz. a lad living in Jollne avenue,
this city, killed an alligator three feet
long today.
Dametz was looking for a rowboat
which broke from its moorings at Port-au-Peck
yesterday, and ran across the
alligator basking in the sun on the bank
of the South Shrewsbury river. Fearing
that the alligator might turn on him, the
boy picked up a heavy club and dealt it
a stinging blow across the back. He fol
lowed up the attack, and finally killed it.
The lad lugged the animal home, where
It was measured. This is the third alli
gator that has been - caught in the
Shrewsbury river this summer. Their
presence in northern waters cannot be
accounted for.

ACHES AT HEART
Harriman Longs for Sympathy
That Is Denied Him by
American Pyblic.
SEEKS REST IN OREGON
Wall Street's Battles Have Tired
Him Body and Soul Not Same
Man of Energy He Was
Two Years Ago.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17. Physically
exhausted and weary in mind from the
long battle for railroad supremacy, E. H.
Harriman Dhilosonhized mournfully yes-
terday as he spoke .of himself and his
work.
"The time will come when the things
that I have done will be understood and
not misunderstood." he said. "There is
a time for all thing?. The time may
come when I am dead."
The man who has come to be known as
"the live w'ire of Wall street" reflected
a soul tried by the torrent of crit
icisms and yearning for the sympathy
that has been denied him. In an Instant
he caught himself, tossed aside his phil
osophy and rattled on of the problems of
the day.
"I will tell you plainly what I think of
San Francisco. The condition of the city
is more criminal that some of the things
you are considering here as criminal," he
snapped.
Then the railroad magnate paid his re
spects to Attorney General Bonaparte and
the Roosevelt administration with the
statement, "Really, I am not interested
in them."
Tireless Man Looks Tired.
The Harriman who entered the city
yesterday and left it again In the even
ing was not the same Harriman who
came here two years ago.
The Harriman of that other day was
a brisk, impetuous man. impatient of
! questions, impatient of interviewers. Also,
! he was a more robust looking man. To
. the ordinary person the Harriman then
j was a person strung on steel, and each
threaJ was vibrating with life and en
I ergy.
j But it was a different Harriman yes
terday. The tireless Harriman looked
i tired. Instead of the alert, keen, eager
Harriman." with the eagle glance, there
was a mild mannered Harriman, depre
catory in his manner-, winning In his ad
dress and persuasive in his effort to im
press it upon his hearers that he was
j sincerely sorry he could not enter into
any discussion of the acts of the admin
istration. As for Bonaparte and his ut
terances, why, In fact. IJarrlman had
been entirely too busy to read what the
Attorney General had said.
Only twice In the course of the long
interview did the old Harriman show
itself, once when an audience was re
quested. "Find out." he remarked to his sec
retary, "whether it is necessary for me
to see this person and if I did not see
him in New York."
That Road Into Oregon.
Again, when he was asked whether he
intended to build a road from the Or
egon Short Line to California, he an
swered sharply:
"I don't know anything about it, and
if I were going to build a line I would
not tell you of it."
Then an observation was made that
the traffic department deplored the lack
of locomotives (rnd that at the same
time It was said there was no car short
age. A sudden bright light came into the
eyes of Harriman, which warned one
that Harriman was not a pleasant per
son when crossed, and he snapped
back:
"The traffic department always does
know more about operating a road than
the operating department and if it had
its way it would be running cars along
the ground."
Harriman's "Soft Spot."
His face, however, assumed a gentler
appearance when he spoke of "the
boys."
It was a touch of human nature and
showed that after all Harriman has
some weakness, and that there is a
chink in the armor of his impenetra
bility and that It can be found when
the names of his boys are mentioned.
"Yes," he observed, "we are leaving
tonight for the north on a hunting and
fishing expedition. You know," and he
smiled whimsically, "the boys are man
aging the affair, and we may be there
for a week or 10 days. I may come back
this way. I cannot tell at present."
Opportunities for AH.
Harriman's reference to his boys
prompted the question of whether or not
the young man of today had the same
advantages of the man of former years.
He straightened himself up in his chair
and said:
"The opportunities for the young man
today are better than they were years
ago. t all depends on the young man.
The opportunities are here to make
money. Now is that not so?
"A young man In order to succeed
must take up one line of work and stick
to It. The young man today Is doing
pretty well.
"There Is one trouble with the young
man of today. He has been brought up
In more luxurious surroundings tnan the
man of a few years ago and he Is dis
inclined to put up with Inconveniences.
"Perhaps there Is more envy In the
world today than formerly and that is
what hurts & man. The country Is very
rich and the opportunities of men are
wide now to make riches in various
fields.
vin the old days he was localized. Now
he belongs to the world because of the
advantages of transportation, so that he
wiaens his scope. What are the riches
of a single man to the wealth of a coun
try? If you took all the rich men of the
United States and put them In a single
room and then swept them ail away at
once it would not have the slightest ef
fect upon the country. The Individual is
nothing. It is the aggregation of money
which makes it powerful and this means
that we have to do business on a broad
basts now. The day of localization has
passed away."
Pleasure Trip to Oregon Lakes.
Harriman left at 7:30 o'clock for the
North. He will leave the line o the
Oregon and California at Weea and go
as far as the road Is built to Klamath
Falls. The boat that has been shipped to
Klamath Lake for the transportation of
the party is awaiting him and will con
vey the party to Pelican Lake.
"You are asking about the Interstate
Commerce Commission. I wish it to be
distinctly understood that I am not op
posed to legislation. But the railroads
should be protected as well as legislat
ed upon and this protection should
be under the properly constituted au
thorities. If you crush the railroads
1
you crush all the interests of the coun
try. ' I do not know of any railroad
man who has opposed legislation, but
they all insist that they should have
protection.
"Why should I speak about the atti
tude of the Government? To use a vul
gar phrase. I have no kick coming.
Our business is good. We are well able
to take care of and also to improve our
properties. I am taking no Interest in
politics, and therefore the attitude of
the Government does not interest me.
No. I do not care what Mr. Bonaparte
said. I believe he did make some re
marks, but I never read them."
" Horrltnan hofo m a ri A it HistnCtlV Ull-
derstood that- the pursuit of such ques
tioning would be distasteful. "

EZRA MEEKER IN NEW YORK
Easterners Get Their First Glimpse
of Keal Prairie Schooner. i
NEW YORK. Aug. 13. Automobtlists on
the old Albany Post Road, on the east
bank of the Hudson, have been treated
in the last few days to the sight of a
genuine "prairie schooner" drawn by a
yoke of oxen.
The outfit Is that of Ezra Meeker, of
Puvallup. Wash., near Tacoma. who
started out on January 29. 1S06. to retrace
his journey of 54 years before along the
old Oregon trail to its Eastern terminus
on the Missouri River, thence across Iowa
to Illinois, to his Indiana home.
Meeker reached Indianapolis, January
B. 1C07. a distance of 2630 miles. As he
traveled he interested the people on the '
route in preserving the old trail, ana Dy
their help erected numerous stones, posts,
and monuments as guides to the trail.
From Indianapolis he has trekked alons
by way of Cleveland, Buffalo, Syracuse,
and Albany, and thence down the old
Post Road route, stopping at the various
towns along the river. He is bound, for
Oyster Bay to see the President, and later
to Washington to try to interest the
Government in transforming the old trail
into a good roadway.
As Meeker travels he sells postcards
and books of his own writing. "The Ox
Team: or, The Old Oregon Trail," tells
of his trip across the Plains in his youth.
In 18o2, and again in 1S96.
One of the o'xen, Dave, has come all
the way from Washington. The other.
Dandy, was purchased at the Omaha
stock yards. Twist, who originally
started out with Dave, died after 1700
miles of the Journey had been covered.
Jim, the Scotch collie dog, has come all
of the way. Meeker will make a circuit
of the ifpper part of New York City, tak
ing the nearest ferry route to Long
Island to get to Oyster Bay.
SHARK'S FATAL MISTAKE
Takes Torpedo for Fish and Is
Blown Up.
.NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Mistaking a
torpedo for prey, a shark chased it oft
the proving grounds near Sag Harbor,
L. I., yesterday, and was blown to pieces.
This Is said to be the first time such a
thing has happened, although many kinds
of fish, including harks. have been killed
accidentally by the explosion of tor
pedoesa, A Bllss-Leavltt torpedo was dis
charged from the gun barge K. W.
Bliss In .Noyac Bay, near Sag Harbor.
The flight of the torpedo was watched
by a number of naval men. It was di
rected toward a target set 3500 yards
away. The torpedo traveled at a speed
of 50 miles an hour.
The officers watching its course
through field glasses saw the fin of a
large shark making toward It diag
onally. The shark came up with the
missile just as ths torpedp exploded.
Pieces of the shark wer spattered
over the target. Its body was later
found, minus certain parts, beside the
target,- where it had been held by a
ne. The shark measured over nine
feet in length.
"JUHt you make tracks," said the whale.
Then he lashed out with his tall.
This "fish" was Indeed Oh!
A Woolwich . torpedo.
And Oh! And Oh!
That whale was aeen no more.

MARKING SANTA FE TRAIL
Monuments Being Erected by-States
Crossed by Historic Road.
LAMAR, Colo., Aug. 17. The first
monument marking the site of the old
Santa Fe trail through Colorado in
order that it may not be entirely lost
to the, memory of the people, was
erected today on the old trail just
north of the wagon-road bridge, half
a mile north of the town, under the
auspices of the Cplorado Daughters of
the American Revolution. ; There were
500 people in attendance, many of them
being from Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and nearby towns.
It is believed that other states
through which the old Santa Fe trail
passes will also make appropriations
soon for the erection of monuments
and the trail wkl! be marked in that
way every few miles from Missouri
River to Its end in California. Kansas,
at the last session of its legislature,
appropriated $20,000. for the marking
of the trail through the Sunflower
state. -
BRIDE FATJH0UGH YOUNG
Husband Kills Man by Mistake In
jealous Fit.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. The World
published a special from Cumberland,
Md., which says that when Morris F.
Van Gosen was shot and killed while
returning from a dance at Hancock
Station, Va., William Jones was ar

CAT TWO YEARS IN A MINE
Gets Out at Last and Returns to Its
Old Home.
WILLKESBARRE, Aug. 13. After
spending two years in the depths of a
coal mine, a cat owned by James Warke
of Ashley has returned to him. The cat
was such an inveterate thief that Mrs.
Warke "Insisted two years ago that it
should be killed or lost. Several attempts
to lose it failed, and Warke, who is a
miner, then put him in a bag and- took
him to one of the lowest levels ,of the
No. 20 colliery. There he flourished and
grew fat. There was fine hunting, the
big mine' rats being numerous and .dar
ing. Recently the mine Was shut down, and
as there was no more grain in the stables
the rats left. Now there is no more hunt
ing, and the cat made Its appearance
yesterday at Warke's home. How it got
out of the mine is a mystery.
