DRAFTS GONE TO PROTEST Icalcrs In JIls Mining Stocks Lose Heavily and Brokers Attribute Trouble to Methods rctc Grant lias l'ist Fight. SAN FRAXCISOQ. Jan. 5. (Special.) "When the stock exchange opened this morning the L. M. Sullivan Trust Com pany stocks at once suffered a consider able decline. Lou Dillon, a Goldfleld prop erty, decreased nine points and Silver Pick Extension five points. Only 1500 hares changed hands. This flurry was due to the financial embarrassment of the company, whose drafts have gone four or five days protested by the banks before they were taken up. No Surprise to Brokers. Local stockbrokers professed to be little surprised this mornine by the news that the I.. M. Sullivan Trust Company, of Nevada, was in financial trouble due to the protestation of its drafts by the hanks. Some of them, while admitting that those who had dealt in the Sullivan , stocks would suffer from that trouble, declared they had premonitions of the difficulty- and irot out from under. Jt is estimated that the dealers in the Sullivan stocks have suffered to the ex tent of about JloO.OOO. The total may be more than that, for the dealings were wry extensive and the purchasers of tlio widely advertised stocks were legion. Frank L. Krehlcr admits that his losses will total $23,000. Other brokers say it Is r o woon to ric-iire their losses. One broker ia said to have lost JHOO.OOO. Grant and Cadogun Fight. Bxoitement was Intense on. the exchangee trtly. Tt reached a climax at closing timi' when Peter Grant, of the Sullivan firm, engaged in a flst fight with Pat Caclogan, a. broker. Grant accused Cado fan n of having denounced the Sullivan Company and Cadogan did not deny it. "When they were separated both were bleeding profusely. C. G. Rice, manager of the Sullivan Company, maintains that the company can easily pay its obliga tions. Telegraphic messages from Goldfield to night brought the information that I. M. Sullivan -was In bed at his home and re fused to be interviewed. Kxperts were put on the books of this company in San Francisco, Tonopah and Goldfleld today and will report as soon us possible. Brokers Wary of Stocks. The spectacular manner in which the Sullivan stocks were boomed probably had much to do with creating: the feel ing of wariness that kept many of the brokers irom venturing too far on the ileal In ps with Sullivan's offerings- The lurid broadsides from the pen of Gra ham It if f . Sullivan's chief assistant iii the promotion work, may have caught buyers In many parts of the country, particularly among- the pilf ers who are looking for bier returns on a Bmall Investment, but they had the erroct of scaring away the brokers, Jind those who dealt In the stocks were careful to protect themselves on every deal. it is explained today that the reason for the financial trouble brought upon the firm Is that the stocks were sold at a very low fitture, and then the price was boosted to a higher figure, at which purchases were made in the ex pectation tuftt further boosting would raise the price again, and profits would be made. stock Game Not Like Poker, The promoters did not figure that the stock ft me is not like that of the poker room, where there is no limit but the ceiling. The stocks rose in response to the prodding- of the boosters, but not high enough to yield the profit that was needed. . Nat Boas a local broker, said today: "I am a disinterested party, as this failure has not touched me. However. I will say that I saw the company could not continue long, having noth ing on which to survive more tha! a month ago, and discontinued handling their stocks. Their stocks were selling away above their value. In Manhattan they had Stray Dog. Indian Camp, Jumping Jack and Eagle's Nest. At Ooldrield. Silver pick Extension. .

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Simon Gug genheim, Senator-to-be from Colorado, gives a remarkable interview In this week's Kidgway's. That he expects to be, and why he should be elected, is told with startling frankness. Among other things he says: "There is nothing wrong: about it. It Is merely conducting political cam paigns as they are conducted In these days. The money 1 have contributed has helped to elect these men. and. naturally, they feel under obligation to vote for me. It ia done all over the United States today. I do not consider hat It is wrong, and neither do I think that It can In any sense be called "Asked if he thought lie could he elected if he were a poor man, he said: ' I -would have the same chance of be ins: elected that any other poor man would have. Because I am wealthy and because I have contributed to Re- publican campaign funds. I have more pro m I n f nt-o than I would have had had I been poor. I suppose if X bad been a poor man I would lot have stood as good a chance to be elected as my wealth gave me. "Is there any probability that some members of the Legislature may form a combination, as has been done in other states, to force you to make further advances?" he was asked. Mr. Guggenheim smiled brightly, and with an air of absolute certainty in the strength of his position, made answer: "There is no danger of it, and it would not succeed if there -was. Mind you, I will be elected- Make no mis take about .that." 'I think- the people -are electing Unit ed States. Senators. " -Bof ore -the election tho issue was plainly fought" out. It was - Gupgenhelm t -upralnst I'atterson, and Guggenheim - won.- The : people knew that Patterson and "myself were the iFsue-i 'arrd'that a vote -tor- the Re publican legislative candidate was a vote for me." "No," replied Mr. Guggenheim, "it is the mandate of the people that the Leg islature shall elect me Just as much as though the vote had. been direct." Smelter Trust a. Good Trust. '"o. you he said. "There are different kinds of trusts. Some are good and some are bad. The smelter trust is one of the good. ones. We treat our employes well; we deal fairly by the people. It is not hated like the Standard Oil and some others, be cause tt does not practice oppressive methods. A-Side from that, when I take my seat in the Senate. 1 will not be a smelter trust nor any other kind of trust man. I intend to divorce myself entirely from business and give up 12 months in each year toward, advancing the interests of the state of Colorado and the United States." . "The people will have to judge me by my acts, after I am elected, although I think my private and business career will. indicate that I will do my full duty." In order to test Mr. Guggenheim on his statement that he will not repre sent trusts, but will favor measures beneficial to the country, he was asked if he approved President Roosevelt's course. Quickly he answered that he did. Then he was asked this question: "Would you have voted for Presi dent Roosevelt's rate bill if you had been a Senator last year? Right here Mr. Guggenheim, friend of the people, disappeared, and Simon the smelter trust head, showed himself in his true colors as a trust man no more, no less. He did not answer the question. He would not answer it. None but a trust man could have failed to answer that question, one way or the other, and Mr. Guggenheim's fail ure to do so is a positive indication that he will not support Presideitt Roosevelt's light agralnst trusts when he takes his purchased scat. Colorado the Corrupt Is electing to the hlsrhest office within Its erift . man who lias bousrht and paid fox- the place, and who Is not from any Imaginable Stand- DOlnt Capable ot reflecting credit upon the office.
