IT HAD GOOD EFFECT
Bankers' Pool Prevented
Crisis in Money Market.
FUND WAS NOT DRAWN UPON
DiftpoKitloR to Attack Sinister Slg
niflcsBce to It UaTrarranteii
Condition of Xevr. York
Basics Strcngtkened.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. The stock mar
ket opened the past week with a threat
ening break In prices, which promised a
return of the demoralized conditions of
last week during the period of forced
liquidation. The announcement was made
on Monday of the formation of a "bank
ers' protective popl," the subscriptions -to
which amounted 'to 550,000,000. This sum
was to be placed at the disposal of Prest
dent Baker, of the First National Bank;
President Stlllman, of the National-City
Bank, and J. P. Morgan, as a committee,
and to be liable for loans on call In case
of an emergency in the money market.
The liquidation in the money market was
immediately checked and some recovery
ensued. The effect of this measure was in
some doubt for two days following, but
It was ultimately the cause of restoring
a large degree of confidence. Supple
mented by other favorable factors, the re
suit was to remove the general feeling
of depression and to induce a rapid re
covery In the stock market. This ensued
without a dollar of the $50,000,000 fund
being drawn upon. The knowledge of the
existence c-f this reserve fund for con
tlngencles served to Induce freer offerings
of funds from other sources and to un
lock some resources that had been jeal
ously guarded, either from timidity or
from 'a desire to take advantage of higher
rates which were quite generally ex
pected to rule before the end of the year.
Rates fof money have steadily declined
during the week, six months' loans being
shaded to below G per cent, and the pre
mium on loans for shorter periods has
disappeared.
Upon the first announcement of the
formation of this bankers' pool, there
was some disposition to attach a sinister
significance to it as a symptom of a more
serious state of affairs in New York than
had been generally expected. The r meas
ure does not differ in any kind or degree
from those adopted at previous times pf;
crises, except that heretofore these meas
ures were in the hands of the clearing
house authorities, while in the present in
stance the management Is confined to pri
vate hands. Inquiries poured Into New
York frjm all quarters as to the call for
such important provisions. These seem
to have met with satisfactory response,
o.nd the feeling of confidence grew that
the year-end requirements would be met;
without trouble.
Besides the strong sentimental effect of
the protective pool, the actual develop
ments of the week tended to strengthen
the condition of the banks. Receipts of
currency were large from the interior,
and the drain by the Subtreasury was
much relaxed. Part of the Government
requirements seem to have been drawn
from other centers, and large pension pay
ments at New York have- relieved. the
banks. One of the most reassuring "fac
tors in the money situation has been the
continued softness of the foreign ex
change market, notwithstandingcthe easier
tpne of the local money market. This has
been partly due to large supplies of-grain
bills, arid It is hoped that the sharp break
in the corn market will result in an In
crease In the takings for export and an
additional replenishment of the exchange
market. It is manifest that New York
bankers have .been able to negotiate ad
ditional loans in foreign markets, as well
as to obtain extensions of maturing Joans,
which has been difficult to do for some
time past.
London has been a moderate buyer of
stocks In the New York market, and the
proceeds of the sale abroad of the $10, r
W0.O0O issue of Pennsylvania Car Trust
certificates have heen available in the
exchange market. A willingness on the
part of the foreigners to make new in
vestments in our securities, which they
have conspicuously refrained from tak?
ing at the high level of prices recently
prevailing, was a factor in providing
means to. settle the somewhat overstrained
foreign credits.
An almost superstitious dread attached
to the approach of December 17, the sev
enth anniversary of the so-called vene
zuelan panic, due to President Cleveland's
message to Congress on the boundary
question. The passage of the anniversary
on Wednesday without trouble undoubted
ly prompted buying of stocks on the part
of those whose fears had been aroused.
Very large short lines were .covered
throughout the week, and this was a sub
stantial aid to the IrecQyery, especially, in
some speculative favorites where organ
ized pools have directed a campaign
against the shorts. Special factors have
also helped some stocks, such as the ab
sorption by the United States- Steel Cor
poration of the Union Steel TTompony, the
possible benefit to sugar from the recent
reciprocity treaty, the better conditions
in the copper trade; etc. -Many rumors
of other jJ&yelopmpntsJ..h.a, ye alsp figured
in the market. The fact is not lost sight
of that heavy syndicate and other require
ments remain to be met before the end of
the year, but feeling Is much more con
fident that the emergency has been ade
quately provided for.
There was not much significance to to
day's desultory trading in stocks, which
was almost wholly in the hands of pro
fesslonal operators. Commission-houses
reported a falling oft in the recent re
newed business. This market is disposed
to take on an attitude of waiting after
the week's covering movement, realizing
that the money market still has heavy de
mands to meet, notwithstanding the feel
ing of greater confidence in its ability, as
a result of the existence of the bankers'
protective pool. The bank statement em
phasizes the desirability of conservatism.
The stock market rallied sharply after
the selling Incident to the bank statement
and closed firm. A sudden spurt in Stigan
to 129 helped the final rally. That stock
had been strong throughout, apparently
on the ground of the prospect Of the adop
tion of the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
There was also an animated speculation
in Texas & Pacific, which rose to 47 and
fen to 39 under heavy offerings.
There was some investment demands
for bonds, which were firmly held. The
bond market moved in sympathy with
stocks. United States new 4s declined
per cent, as compared with the closing
call of last week.
BANK POSITION IS SOUND.
Favorable Shawls? Made

Weekly Statement.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. Th.e Financier
this week says;
According to the. estimates of known
money movements In arid out of New
York last week, the banks gained over
$500,000 In cash, but the bank statement of
Saturday, compiled averages, showed a
loss in cash of Jl.762,100. This decrease.
In so far as it affected surplus reserves,
was offset in large part by a reduction of
$5,875,200 in deposits, the excess - reserve
falling only .$293,300, to $8,903,600. which Is
$2,000,000 above the total of a year ago.
The decrease of $3,510,200 In loans Is a be
lated record of the previous week's liqui
dation, as nothing of Importance has oc
curred In the present market to Indicate
much of a change either way, so .far .as
bank loans are concerned. The deposit
decrease coincides with the loss In money:
and loan contraction arid is thus accounted
for. The fetal" of loans is still in excess
of deposits by'.J8,e09,000, but when 'it Is re
called that thevNatlonal banks of New
iork .alone have Increased their capital
and surplus within the past year by $41,-
000,008, thla ilgbt. excess of loans loses any
importance that otherwise might attach
to ft. Speaking in general, the bank po
sltion for this season of the year Is sound!
r The early movement of money from the
interior, noted In the previous week's
statement, continues, the banks havlilg
gained from this source alone within six
days over J2,009,000. There ia every indica
tion that this movement will be continued.
although the activity of business at nil
centers and the changing conditions in the
position of country banks may interfere
with It to some extent. It Is not to be
overlooked that loans of banks outside of
reserve cities. have expanded in three
jtaia uy 4A,vw,uxr, which ia h- larger in
crease thah reported by the reserve centers
themselves and this, foreshadows a general
demand for funds In what may be de
signated as -country districts, and which
may retard the flow bf money to this and
otner important points. -Still the metro
politan banks have never failed to gain
heavily in cash with the, beginning of each
year, and the same experience is to be an
ticipated now.
The heavy dividend period now approach
ing may result in some shlf tine and 'dis
turbances in the market for a,'week or
two, but these -will be only temporary in
character. The formation of -the' bankers'
tfool, the "fall'ln exehange'and the, com
pleted liquidation in the stock market lead
to the logical conclusion that the. money
market for a few weeks at- least will
cease to be the center of absorbing inter
est In financial circles, With' the grad
ual fall In interest rates, however, the ex
change situation possibly will strengthen
to the point where gold experts will have
to be taken into consideration. Such ex
ports are not regarded as an Immediate
factor.

Return to "Jefferson" Styles.
Chicago Inter Ocean
Mrs. D. M. Lord's suggestions as to re
form In men's dress are In line with the
I view; wmcn nave oeen expressed by loyers
or me estnetlc in all civilized countries
during recent years
The pendulum haB swung to the ex
treme of plainness everywhere. So strong
nas Deen tne tendency toward what are
called modern styles that In Holland, n
Germany, In Switzerland -and in South
America, there is no- longer any distinc
tive" form of costume among - the better
classes. The business and professional
men of Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Geneva,
City of Mexico, Klo dB Janeiro and Buenos
Ayres dress today precisely like the busi

.Mrs. Lord is. not radical or sweeping in
her suggestions. She believes. Derhans.
that if any great reform is to be brought
abUt in masculine attire it must come
Dy eas stages. .At present, she thinks,
the moflt desirable thing is a change Jn
man's neckwear. She does not like the
string tie, the bowknof, the butterfly or

I can't believe," she said at the South
Side Woman's Club, "there Is' a man liv

now, right here," she continued. "I would
like to say that when my husband heard
this bit of my paper crjticlsing men's
dress he breathed such a fervent 'amen
that I became hopeful for all mankind."
Uf .late years women have learned a

POLICEMEN ON; TRIAL
NEW YORK HAS A SPECIAL. COURT
FOR ITS GUARDIANS.-
vHpiain riper Hears All Sorts
Stories From Hli 3Ien He Is Very
Strict, but Likes Humor-of It.
If unfortunate lawbreakers want to get
ievwige-on tne policeman who arrests
taem tney should drop into the court
room at police headquarters some Thurs
day while erring "cods" are beinar nlaced
on the rack before Deputy Commissioner
Piper, says a writer in the New York
-evening sun. There's where the police
man comes before the bar of justice, as
uumDie as tne ordinary citizen who com
nuts an offense. Judges may say that
Captain Piper doesn't observe the strict
legal formalities In thla court, but Cap
tain Piper can tell in an instant whether
a policeman is juggling with the truth,
and he knows how to draw out every feat
ure of a case, even If .he does admit hear
say testimony, which Ig forbidden by the
laws governing evidence before clvir and
criminal jurists.
xnere is also a lesson here for the
sociologists, likewise food for the 'stu
dent or types and the writer of fiction.
jverjr tnai day brings Its stories of
pathos and humor. There are witnesses
who can't speak English and witnesses
whose. Ideas of veracity are amualnrlv
elastic. Captain Piper's rigid conception
oi aiscipune gives a military air to the
court, ne invariably calls the men by
their last names. Policemen must appear
before him In uniform, and if they are
wise tney win get shaved, use a whisk
broom on their clothing and have their
shoes polished before coming to court. An
aged captain who sent a sergeant before
the commissioner on a last trial day in
plain clothes was told never to do so
again. The Deputy Commissioner had all
this Instilled In him at West Point, and
he always has an eye to the relentless
eniorcement of rules and regulations.
No Use for Lawyer.
Culprits who have once appeared be
fore Capt. Piper with a lawyer to de
fend them will never do so again. He
is not fond of lawyers, and they find it
out as soon as tney have asked a witness
a nait dozen questions. The lawyer
insists on answers In the form of "yes"
or "no," while the Court insists that
the witness be allowed to give testimony
in his or her own way. When the law
yer has been overruled once or twice, If
he Is a diplomat and really has the In
terest of ..his client at heart, he will
cease objecting and allow the , trial to
proceed in the customary way. Captain
Piper's army training has taught him
that to maintain discipline the charges
brought by superior officers against
those in the ranks must be upheld, un
less it is a palpable case of persecution.
With a . civilian it is different.
If he has charges against a policeman
he must prove them and prove them con
clusively. If there is a doubt the man
on trial gets the benefit of It.
The trial room on the fourth floor of
Police Headquarters Is always pretty well
lined on Thursday mornings long before
10 o'clock, the hour set for opening
court. Captain Piper usually makes an
unconscious stab at discipline by being
five or ten minutes late. He rushes
Into the room with that quick, jerky
step which every one about the Mulberry
street building has learned to recognize
a block away, He is a small man, ner
vous and wiry, and If there Is anything
that grates on him It Is a- policeman who
talks slowly or does not raise his -voice
to an audible, tone. The Deputy Com
missioner takes his seat with Sergeant
Johnny "Russell within call. Russell, Is
constantly with him on hl3 midnight tours
ot inspection ana on tnai uays. some or.
the crpwd so far forget themselves as
to continue talking after the Commis
sioner enters, Bang goes the gavel.'
"We must have order In here. ' If yo'u
want to talk go outside," says Captain
Piper.
31n.de n Poor Attorney.
The first case Is then called, On this
occasion It Is that of a patrolman from
the Leonard-street station, who Is accused
of being off post when the roundsman paid
him an unexpected visit. This policeman
has been about Magistrates' Courts enough
to get a smattering of the methods of la
yers in nanaung casee. no nas an array
of witnesses to prove that he went off- post
to disperse a blockade, and that It was the
custom of men In his precinct to do this.
"Do you know the regulations about go
ing off post?" asks the Deputy Commis
sioner. "I have never been told anything about
it over the desk."
"How longwave you been on the force?"
"Six years."
"Well, It's 'time you were learning."
The policeman then asks to cross-ex
amine the department's witnesses. He
speaks out loudly and slyly winks at a
friendly epectatbr when he thinks he has
made a particularly clever point. The
Commissioner is apparently not hearing a
word. Me Is looking over a bunch of
papers, perhaps investigating the man's
record; but it is dollars to doughnuts that
he Is not losing a word of the testimony.
The policeman becomes angered at the
reply of a witness, and the two begin
talking at once, like women in a neigh
borhood quarrel.
"Hold up, there," puts In the Commls
aloner. "The stenographer can't take testi
mony from hoth of you at the same time."
The lawyer policeman calls his first wit
ness and proceeds to get into a tiff with
him ovr a question of time.
"Now, you know, as a matter of fact,
It was"
"That'll do ten days," and the Com
missioner, puts an end to the squabbling.
The policeman goes out crestfallen and
wiui ins es mume ui ma u'ijui auiiuy groui

Policeman Won't Swear.
The next case Is also that of a pollcemap
caught oft post, but ho Is a unique char
acter In the department, because he never
takes the oath before going on the stand
It Is against his religious principles, and
the department humors him. The cause of
this policeman furnishes a break In the
usual order of things, because, after the
first witness. Is sworn, the spectators un
consciously catch themselves trying to
figure put what Captain Piper Is saying
when he administers the oath. They can
follow him as far as "Do you solemnly"
but then It becomes a game of chance.
with the odds In favor of the, man who
wagers that the other can't keep up,
Some one wants to know how the religious
policeman got all those scars that give a
fantastic fresco appearanqe to his close
ly shaved head. Then an old-times relates
his history. He has had a long career on
the force, and Is known among his com
rades as a "terribly man with his stick."
He never alloys anyone to use profane
language In his presence, as many, a
brother policeman has learned to his sor
row, Tftey used to Joke him and call him
a fanatic, but he Is a big. strapping fel
low, and they reserve their comments now
nntll he has passed beyond earshot. Once
he was sent into a particularly tough
neighborhood, where a gang of thjeves
had things pretty "much their own way.
The captain told him not to bring any of
them Into the station-house. He took the
hint, and .When he spied 'an assembly of
roughs he waded In with -his nightstick.
His pept was .soon as orderly as upper
Fifth avenue.
Here's a policeman who was caught
coming out of a saloon. He has never
been up before and seems frightened, but
speaks firmly when the Commissioner asks
mm ir ne is guilty or not guilty.
"I am guilty, Your Honor," he says.
"Any statement In your behalf?"
"Yes, sir; my wife was sick and I went
to the only fruit stand on. my way past
to get her some oranges. The keeper of
the store cquldn' change a ?5 bill, and I
went into the saloon to get It changed,"
The Commissioner neers at him in that
stern way which means that he is trying'
een a ne and the

truth. He evidently makes up his mind
to the latter, and tempers Justice with
mercy by only reprimanding him.
All Aoout a Dead Cat.
Then up come sir big, strapping fel
lows in response to the call of their
names. They look sheepish because they
are there for allowing the body of a dead
cat to lie in the street 24 hours without re
porting It. All plead guilty.
"You've all come up like men," says
the Commissioner, "and I'll only repri
mand you Instead of giving you half a
day."
Next comes Sergeant Tlmms, the
Shakespearean scholar of the department,
to testify against a man. The sergeant
has been dozing while awaiting the call
of the case, and as he. comes up, rubbing
his eyes, some one, wonders If he will
find an opportunity to quote from his
favorite author. He accuses the police
man from being absent at rollcall. The
policeman says he went to sleep In a
Turkish bathhouse and the manager failed
to have him awakened.
"A Turkish bath is a pretty good thing
to sober up on, but I'll only reprimand
you this time," announces the Commis
sioner, and then ho swings hs gavel to
stop the titter In the courtroom.
Now comes the educated policeman. He
Is a roundsman against whom a citizen
has preferred a charge.. The roundsman
gives his testimony as a college president
would dictate a letter to his stenograph
er. Once he mokes a slip by referring to
several 'neople" standing on the corner,
but catches himself In time to change it
to "persons." A German whose knowl
edge of English is sadly lacking Is one
of the main witnesses. He soon discov
ers that he is up against a stone wall In
trying to testify in English, and gives It
In pantomime. The only part the spec
tators can understand is when he says:
"I got too much sense yet to interfere
mlt a policeman."
In his second attempt to make out a
case, which had been lamentably weak
from the beginning, the complainant
wrangles with a witness, and the Com
missioner Interrupts him.
"I have heard enough," he says. "Case
dismissed."
The last coses are known as the "shoo
fly" coses, because the complaints are
made by members of Captain Piper's per
sonal staff. He has six roundsmen, and
their principal duty Is to catch police
men talking to citizens or to each other
while on duty without proper cause. A
lot of folks believe Captain Piper Is Im
proving the department in this respect.
At the close of one of the cases he says:
"You men have got to stop this way
of telling your troubles on the street cor
ners. If you don't It will be the worse
for you."
Doesn't Like Collectors.
The bill collector gets little consolation
In Captain Piper's court. Many persons
let policemen have goods on credit, with
th'e firm expectation that if the police
man doesn't pay his bill charges can be
brought against him which will compel
him to do so. The other day there was an
unusually large number of collectors in
court, and after listening to the evidence
Commissioner Piper said:
"You fellows give a ppliceman credit
simply because he wears a uniform.
Sometimes you don't live up to your
agreements and sometimes he doesn't live
up to his. I want to tell you that you
are not going to make a collection agency
of this court.
"Yes, your Honor," pleaded the law
yer -for the creditor, "but we have this
man's I O U for the money he borrowed
and a judgment for the account."
"That's your funeral." responded the
Commissioner, dryly, "not ' mine. I
haven't anything to do with civil actions,
That's for the magistrates. All I can tell
you is to proceed by law to collect your
bill."
We did not come here for advice,"
snapped the lawyer, flaring up. "We
know how to proceed."
"Well, that's all you'll get here," said
Captain Piper, turning to the next case,
"Take it or not, just as you choose."
Policeman's Hlgr Rent Rill.
While scoring the collectors the Deputy
Commissioner always Inquires what the
bill Is for, and sometimes the policeman on
trial gets a piece of advice In sharp, terse
language, which he would do well to heed,
It was alleged that one policeman owed
a rent bill of something more than .5200,
"How much a month did this man pay
for a house?" asked the Commissioner of
the collector.
''Seventy-five dollars, your honor," was
tho reply.
Every one in the courtroom laughed at
tho Idea of a- patrolman paying this much
for a shelter, but Captain Piper did not
stop until he hnd elicited the Information
that the policeman's wife rented rooms
and helped pay the rent in thl9 way. The
patrolman said he had since left his wife
and didn't think he was responsible for the
rent, Another policeman was up because
no naa contracted a bill of HO for wines,
liquors, cigars, etc.
"You receive only JUOO a year, apd yet
you are able to run up an account like
this for whisky and cigars?" asked the
Commissioner sternly.
The policeman explained that a part of
tne dent was for borrowed money.
"Wel, you had better read jip the regu
lations on borrowing money and not come
before mo again," was the parting rebuke
from the court.
If the testomony of one younsr natrol-
man Is to be credited, some merchants
set very inviting traps to catch tho unwary

an overcoat, and when I left I had bought
$85 worth. That clerk, your honor, is a
hypnotist. Then I paid $5 for several
months and the merchant refused to ac
cept any more on the installment plan and
brought ths suit."
Piper Appreciates Humor.
Humor frequently creeps Into the court
proceedings. Captain Piper has a Jteen ap
preciation of it, and occasionally draws
It out by the questions he puts to'the wit
nesses. During :a recent trial several
witnesses testified that a policeman called
a citizen "a knocker," Captain Piper
asked every witness who so testified to
define the meaning of "knocker."
"One who queers another's game," said
one, while another witness thought a
"knocker" was a "man who squealed." The
last witness who replied to the question
said he thought a "knocker" was one who
"butted In." In another trial a police
man was accused of calling the complain
ant a "buffalo." Captain Piper wanted to
know the meaning of "buffalo," but the
Witnesses couldn't enlighten him. And
so the trials go on every Thursday. Cap
tain Piper is more like a schoolmaster
with tu lot of overgrown pupils than anything-
else. If they He to him he is severe,-
and if they are frank and speak
the truth their punishment is lightened.
Captajn Piper puts a reward on truth as
well as on faithful adherence to depart
ment regulations.
Morley tor "the Literary Feller."
New York Evening Post. "
At the dinner which was' recentlv. elven
him by the National Liberal Club, Mr.
g, Hopkins & Co.
Chamber of Commerce
John Morley spoke up for the rights of
"the literary feller" In politics. Refer
ring to the toast offered by Mr. BIrrell
also a Liberal and in public life ho said
that he had never been able to understand
why It was thought that a man who
cored about books cared to read them
and possibly to write them should not
core about the affairs of his own coun
try. The obligation of a man of letters
to do his1 best to see that his nation Is
well governed is the same as that of
2fe?rtlier man ThQ onlv difference is
that the literary man often has greater
powers to employ in the public service,
and that his debt to the state la, there
fore, only the greater. Knowledge of
I terature Is or should be knowledge of
Hfe, .of history, of past politics, and of
the moral and political lessons which He
in the experience of the race. That ought
not to be a bad equipment for a Judg
ment of the present. It exposes its pos
a n;f cour? to the charge of being
W.na!re; but ln that sense a doc

insisted, "a man who believes that there

Sir Hiram Maxim and the Mutoscope.
London Leader.
The unique value of the mutoscope as a
recorder of living events was demonstrated
durlns a recent visit of Sir Hiram and
Lady Maxim to a Southern watering place.
The story, as told by Sir Hiram himself,
is, that at the conclusion of his -visit ho
presented a check to the hotel proprietor
ln discharge of his hotel bell.
Hotel proprietors do not like checks
from strangers, and generally make It a
rule not to accept them. So Sir Hiram was
politely Informed that only cash could bo
taken in payment. "You see," said the pro
prietor, "I do not know that you really aro
Sir Hiram Maxim."
The famous Inventor readily recognized
the force of the argument, but said he had
not sufficient money in hla pocket to dis
charge the debt. It might have been an
awkward position but or a happy thought
that occurred to Lady Maxim.
She asked the proprietor to go on tho
pier, put a penny ln the slot of a muto
scope, turn the handle, and he would then
see a "living" picture of Sir Hiram flrlne
a Maxim gun ln the presence of the Shah
of Persia. The hotel proprietor acted on
this advice, and oh returning admitted
that the distinguished visitor was really
Sir Hiram Maxim, and accepted the check'
with profuse apologies.
