EREES MANLEY Man Held at Martinsville, Indiana, Allowed to Go But Agrees to Await Arrival of Officer From This County. NEW YORK, July G. Handicap ped by the laws limiting tho activities of national bunks, especially in pro hibiting to them certain classes of investments, the directors of tho Na tional City bank of New York are going into business for themselves uud have formed a combination which will moro closely approach a money trust than any previously conceived This, to its amazement, Wall Street toduy discovered is the solution of the mystery surrounding tbo recent organization of the $10,000,000 Na tional City company here. Financiers say their action is practically the money trust arrived at last. The new company will be inanaced and perpetually controlled by tbreo trustees. The trustees will bo James Still- man, Prank A. Vanderlip, vice ores ident, and Stephen Palmer, directors of tne bank. As tho laws prohibit banks oper ating iu miscellaneous stocks or their holding stock in another national bank, the chief field of tho new con cern will bo the financing of new en terprises and tho aiding of these al ready organized. Fearing no gov ernment interference, it will furnish tho needed funds for railroad and industrial enterprises, thus practi cally dominating tho whole business field. Under the plans of its projectors it bo possible for tho company to pre vent tho building of railroads or tho formation of companies which are not sure revenue producors and can, oy ino weight of its capital and con nections, prevent other capitalists esteudiug aid which it refuses. It is believed tho company will be ablo to prevent the building of any railroad or tho establishment of competing firms, which "might reduce tho divi dends of existing corporations." 1600 ORE IS STRUCK NEAR BLUE LEDGE Quartz Showing Free Gold In Large Quantities Uncovered On Opposite Side of Mountain From Famous Copper Mine.
