WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 8, 1909 QuiCTMBaar tn monetary affaire was again very much In evidence, with borrowing small, owing; to the ararcity of Reserves and tha strong rates. Financial operations gen-(rally were unimportant, but checking was active, which Indicated that the uaual sp- pllcants for bank favors were uetnr their own reaourcea In their business. Depositing was. light, but the outward movement of currency was considerable. Discounting- or prime paper and the renewal of maturities -were at fl per cent to the limited extent that banks cared to.

Government bonds were un-j changed. There was very little animation In securities and most of them were weak. The Chamber of Commerce had adjourned ever election day, and as there waa no session there was no business reported In wuch articles aa are dealt In on Change. Improve the Ohio River. The manufacturing domain of the Iron and steel business is gradually, but surely, taking in a wider sphere, and It is now in evidence that the concentration in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and" Eastern Ohio In the way of products, of furnaces at least, is not to be The fuel.

supplies of Illinois and In? diana are closer to the ones of Minnesota and Michigan than are these of the more Eastern States, and the keen and close calculators who control the ores and the fuel have determined to use both at the points of minimum transportation charges. Another factor in the trade "situation is the long and expensive railroad haul to the Western points of dlstrltru-' tlon for the iron and steel products of the Eastern mills and furnaces. Hence the great building up of Gary, in Indiana, and the future cre-ation of iron and steel towns still far-. ther to the West and the North.

There Is nothing as yet in sight to diminish the output or rednce the vol; ume of trade in the Pittsburg district, nor even in Eastern Pennsylvania or Jersey, but the importance) oj having the Ohio River quickly and fully improved so as to furnish con-: etantly and permanently cheap rates of transportation to Southern and Western 'points is strongly emphasised by the trend of affairs. Unless the Pittstrnrg district desires to have its sphere of distribution Ilm- ited on the West by the Ohio and Indiana boundary line, the Ohio River must-be made available as a great i through freight route to the West and the This has been made a necessity to that district by the creation of Gary, and the apparent design of establishing a chain of iron and steel industrial -centers running, toward the The representatives of Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio should be a unit in speedily providing against any. future depression in- business- of these jfta tea by giving 'them this outlet for the. products, of those 'Mate.

Spain is most precarious for' fV, monarchy and exceedingly'; dangerous to the of Southern Europe The' resignation of the Maura ministry was Inevitable from the execution of Ferrer. The reported displeasure of King.

"One swallow does not make a sum-' mer" and neitWr does one revolution always destrojra monarchy, 'but the outlook at time, for the maintenance of monarchies in any of the -Latin countries for even a' limited number of years is 'poor indeed. The popular of Italy and of Spain are desirous of imitating France. Many of them have of late years come in contact with republican government in the United States and in the Spanish-American countries of this continent. The hatred of monarchy In the republics south of us Is most intense, and the Spaniard in Europe has ImMbed that dislike to a very great degree.

This is true especially of the professional and commercial classes, the journal ists, the educators and the artists. The men who create and formulate senti ment are nearly-all at heart, both in Italy and in Spain. Italy no longer fears absorption by France or Austria, whatever form of government her people may conclude to adopt, and a republican movement In Spain or In Italy it can now be readily perceived would not be frowned upon by France and could not be interfered with through intervention of any foreign power. The revolution in Turkey, the deposition of the Shah in Persia, the fitful and fearful journeys of the' Czar at home and abroad, tell the story of the rapid rise of the people and the equally rapid downfall of autocratic power. The situation in Vienna is not conducive to imperial permanency, while constitutional government in England is rspidly transforming royalty and nobility into objects for stage effect, to We finally sent to 'the property room when no longer either useful or orna mental to the state.

HEAVY VOTE Against Disfranchising Amendment Indicated in Maryland. rcii. diwatcs to tss axociasa. Baltimore. November i At ten o'clock to-night nothing definite la known of the election In Maryland.

In Baltimore only Ave precincts had been returned out of 21. Three of these precincts showed a heavy vote against the disfranchising amendment, while this was offset In the other two precincts. The best opinion Is that the amendment will be defeated by 8,000 majority. The city Is expected to poll 20.000 votes against the measure, while the counties will vote 12.000 for It. There seems to be Itttle doubt that the Legislature will be Democratic and that TjnitedStates Senator Raynur will be re-elected.

No returns have been received from the counties at this hour. Tne ballot la lengthy and complicated and the counting necessarily slow. The day passed without disorder. At midnight returns both city and state, were meager, but comparison of the vote on the constitutional amendment disfranchising the negro with the vote given Bryan in 19uo indicated that the amendment la getting rather less votes than did Bryan, who lost the city by about 2,000. At this hour Republican estimates give a city majority of T.0U0 to 8.000 against the measure.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY At Gary, According, To Latest Returns Trouble at Polls. Gary, Indiana. November 1 At a late hour to-night, the Mayorallty election was In doubt though the indication was that Thomas Democrat, has won by about ICO votes. The City Council, judging from latest returns, wID be Democratic the day the serenity of the city was remarkable, considering the height of feeling over the election, and the number of armed men patrolling the streets. Only three arrests were made.

T. B. Terplln, City Health Officer was one of those arrested, as was C. M. fteno-lett, a lawyer.

THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, WEDNESDAY; NOVEMBER 3, 1900.1 JUDGMENT Of Magnate Morgan Reflected in the, ttnpen-1 dons Epafrsion Of the New Haven System of Traffic Growth of the Holding Is Said Be Unprecedented Id the filstory of American Railroads Holland Discusses Industrial i rtciAL msrATCB to ths svgoiaaa. New Tork.

November It was reported recently that J. P. Morgan largest Individual holding of any railway security la a block of stock In the New Haves Railroad corporation. What meant probably by this statement waa that, presumably, "the greater part of the personal wealth of Mr. Morgan, so far as permanent investment waa concerned, waa in bonds, and at the time of.

the currency panic of lWf, when. by his order, bonds in large amounts were lent to national banks without commission or bonus of any kind, so that they might thereby be enabled to deposits of Government. roorey, this waa regarded as fairly good-evidence that much of the per manent -which represents 3lr. Morgan's wealth was In the form of bonds But If 'it be true that the block of New Haven Raijroad stock which he holds rep-' resents the largest ot his Individual ownership In railroad stocks. In other words, that which Is carried 1n his own name, then It may toe assumed that the stupendous expansion of the New Haven system within 'JO years reflects in great measure Mr.

Morgan's Judgment, Believed To Be Unprecedented. -It is believed to he unprecedented In the history of American railroads that one corporation, with a capital of only S15.ODO.000, and. having originally no more than 79 miles of should be ao expanded In the course of -Mi yera aa almost completely to control the transportation In one of the great political divisions of the United States, New England. To do this has involved an Increase In capitalization rrom S15.000.000 so great that the New Haven now ranks. In the respect of capi talisation, with the New York Central aSd with almost ail of the greater railroad sys tems of the United States.

It sometimes has been thought that of all the railway. properties with-which Mr. Morgan is identified, the New Haven system may be regarded as bis especial favorite. It may be that others is some sentimental reason for. that.

He of Connec ticut, and although In his boyhood days the railroad which passed near by his early 1 nome waa inaepenaent ot tne mew Haven, nevertheless It was of -the same family, each being dependent upon the other for support. Then, too, Mr. Morgan gave earnest sup port to the "proposition made by the late William D. Bishop when President of the New Haven "corporation. Mr.

Bishop's father created that corporation and Built it In spits ot an opposition from- steamboat and stage coach, which those of this, generation cannot, understand. Essential To Best Results. And when be was a boy and afterward In his college days Mr. Bishop realised that It was essential to tha best results that the old New Haven. Hartford and Railroad should be absolutely merged with the New Tork and New Haven.

He undertook this consolidation early In the seven ties. That- was the first Important railway combination made In the East, excepting the one perfected by Commodore Vander-bllt. and the other one by which the Pennsylvania Railroad system was greatly ex panded, commanding the New Jersey. Railroad situation. Not until about 1888, at the time of tha Presidency of the late Charles Peter Clark, aid the New Haven system begin to expand easterly.

Axing Its eye upon Boston. It bad been compelled to rely for I ta Boston paa-senger traffic upon the Boston and Albany, Mr. Clark was the first to sea. that the little railway stretching from New Haven to New London, which had struggled for years to earn enough to pay Its running expenses, would furnish a vital link whereby the New Haven system could command its-own ln- depeaded line running from Boston to New Tork. It would be easy to find a parallel between some of Mr.

Haniman's railway conquests In the far West and those which made it possible, at least, for the New Haven system to domtnate all of Southern New England, and finally to perfect unification with the Boston and Maine. The Defeat of McLeod. At this day It Is almost forgotten that It was the dramatic attempt of the late President (McLeod. of the Beading Railroad. -to enter New England, control the great terminals of the New Tork and New England Railway, at Boston, and secure the Old Colony system.

Which so electrified the New Haven management and so stimulated Mr. Morgan that Mr. McLeod waa -defeated, and the. New Haven system found itself unavoidably in possession of the Old Col ony system, sure to be followed by the pos session of the buffeted New York gnd New Haven system. All these activities involved swift and very great Increase of capital ot the New Haven system, -since the purchase of Other lines were In some measure paid for with Its own stock.

hat-Mr. Hill and Mr. Hai riman planned upon the Pacific Coast, the New Haven system planned and consummated In 'New England waters, securing practically complete ownership of the steamboat lines, and tfe freight lines plying Long island Sound. The evidence Is very strong, that this expansion could not have succeeded had It not secured the warm approval of Mr. Morgan.

It represents precisely the Idea of railway co-operation. and co-operation which especially appeals to him. Moreover, in the selection of Mr. Mellon aa President of the' New Haven there waa every evidence of the paramount authority of Mr. Morgan, for it was known for some time before the choice of the new President must be made that one or two members of the Directorate were strongly persuaded to give their support to another than Mr.

Mellon. But when it waa also known that Mr. Morgan regarded the young President of the Northern Pacific Railroad aa a man who had Just the aggressive and constructive qualities, and especially the supreme capacity for securing anKprofitably hand- ling traffic that were essential If the ex panded new system waa to yield all tfiat it waa possible for It to do. then tha choice of Mr. Mellon aa President was assured.

The Sonbtful Ones. The falling Sway ot some six points the market quotations for the New Hrfven stock upon the day after a vote had been taken authorising the increase of capitalisation by STiO.OOO.OOO is probably the measure of the feeling of doubt, the apprehension that the system has expanded beyond Its capacity, a feeling which haa been' growing for. a year or two. In the old days; when the stock holdings of the New Haven system were so scattered that no one held a majority, and the people of Connecticut were content with a yearly -t- OLD-WORLD BT BXSsI OEBTVAXJKbV MM.

MABTYB. There sre two young women In who suffer the agony of desolation and parental bereavement. They are the sisters Ferrer, who were orphaned last month by the execution of their beloved father. Renor Ferrer, the Spanish revolutionise Their grief, it' Js reported. Is Inconsolable, for Benor Ferrer was sv, loving and Indulgent fathtr, who bad two great alms la life, to better the condition of hts fellownaen and to make his two daughters happy.

One of his daughters' Is Renorita Pas Ferrer, aged 22. a well-known actress, who for two years new haa proved a success In modern drama at the Odeon Theater la Paris and at the Celestins in Lyons, the is a beautiful brunette of graceful flgwre and carriage and reputed to be of a saodest and sweet temper-meat. Her sister, Senortt Trtaadad Is forewoman of a large MaraK fac'sry in Paris, and she 1st several years older than the actress. Both sent patnetle petitions to the King of Spain to spare their father's Ufa. Income of 10 per cent upon their little blocks of 30 or SO shares.

It waa never dreamed that Urn corporation be so expanded that -St' would be neossssry to redue Its dividends to 8 per cent. But It Is new -certain that the directors ef the New Haven system telleve that the expansion may be justified by such earnings as will make It certain that per cent dividends may be maintained, unless there come a period Inconceivably long and prostrating of business depression. There some dramatic moments at the time this expansion waa In progress, quite equal to those recently described by President Baer upon the witness stafed. telling of the swift, almost overnight nego tiation with Mr, Morgan by which the Reading secured the Central Railroad of New Jersey. It waa with equally swift action and with Mr.

Morgan'a full concur rence that the New Haven management, having learned that the Boston and Albany bad almost purchased the New Haven and Northampton system, steped In and clinched the bargain by which this railroad passed into the New Haven family. Had that not been done the Boston and Albany would have secured an Independent through line between New Tork and Boston. Keep the Harkst Down. The reasons are good for surmlslnr that there haa been at least a- tacit understanding between those who in considerable measure control the money murket that between this time and tha 1st of January obstacles will be thrown In the way ef those who contemplated heavy opera Uona the stock market. We quote one of the more Important banking authorities as reported.

He was speaking to one of the more brokers of this city, speaking in a friendly way enough, and yet monetary "You brokers, want to remember one Tou mustn't try to boost the market for the next six weeks or two months. It isn't wise to try that. Other things have got to be accomplished in the last two months of tha year. The railroads are going to need a good deal of money: they ought to have it. The Industrial companies will need and must have plenty ot funds.

Business is booming "In New England-, they are too busy to think, and It isn't'wfse Just at this time to undertake to manipulate a boom market la the Stock Exchange: 'Values will take good care of themselves la a normal There won't be any depreciation. -Then, after tne 1st of there will be no objections to your going aheadr -asHboughl I am sure that the market won't need much stimulating after that time." Being interpreted, this statement means, apparently, that the more powerful money influences propose to see to It that regular business, that; the', needs- of ihs railroads and- of. industrial corporations, are not made to play second to' the Interests of the speculative market. It All Depend, It also apparently means that It la the opinion of these men that by the first of the year the more important of the needs ef the railways and the Industries will have been fairly well cared for. After that.

If there is a disposition to stimulate a boom market, there will be no serious disposition, on the other hand, to interfere with that purpose. How rapidly the men of science, who are working In the lines of electric development, have recently met demands which five years ago were inconceivable Is illustrated by the deliberate move of the Pennsylvania management of the Hudson tubes of the first of the electric motors which are to be used for that tube service. In the summer of 1902 It waa regarded as very doubtful whether the Inventors of electric apparatus could perfect a motor which would enable the New Tork Central to haul its trains within th -electric sone of the city. And yet the Legislature had commanded that this be done. The inventors worked out motors, both for the third rail and for the alternating current overhead apparatus two years time.

But even then it was doubtful whether they would be able to deliver to the Pennsylvania management the very heavy motors needed for. its Hudson River tube service. The Inventors, however. have kept -well abreast of the engineers who built the ruibes. and the world's greatest hauling en gine Is now being used to test the electric equipment of the Hudson River tubes.

The volume of electric energy these motors can absorb and control is something stupendous. CHITCHAT.

Jackson, November Following the election- here and in adjoining conntlea, the killing of one man and wholesale "steaftng of ballots, the town was filled with wtidly enthusiastic supporters of both parties by early dark and tha streets around the courthouse were literally lined with people.

Reports were more or less cut but as nearly as could be ascertained the Demo crats carried Breathitt by a majority of between 200 apd 400. and they bad a majority of the whole senatorial and legisla tive district Dr. O. H. Bwango was elected Police Judge of the, town, and Redwine seems to be safely elected.

At about o'clock the newspaper correspondents left their quarters In the Crawford Building and went to the headquarters of tha Chairman of the Democratic Campaign Committee, O. H. Pollard, behind the courthouse. About the time the reports were beginning to ceme in the crowd began the delightful diversion of shooting up the town, and In the course of an hour not lees than 2,000 shots were fired. All communications were stopped, and the newspaper men dared not go out or the streets.

The soldiers, who were stationed at the Ewen Hotel, across the river, ware called snd earn to the scene of action, but -they were unable to do anything with the crowd for the time being. Finally, when the excitement waa at Its height, two of the men In the ftemocraUc headquarters went out. on toe porcn to see in wnicn )recnois tner 1 men ware shooting. they-, had been out on the porch for a few moments sev eral men came ap the street In the direc tion of the house and began firing.

A consultation waa held and Mr. Pollard. while, it was generally considered unsafe on the streets, advised that a brick building be sought at once and the crowd, wltb lamps and lanterns In their hands, left tha house and sought safer' quarters.

While they were going down the street, men shooting on all sides, but no bullets came near enough to them to become dangerous. It la believed thst those shooting had bo intention et killing any one, but many of them were drinking heavily and sometimes shots were fired straight down the streets. Toe bullet, that entered Mr. Pollard's headquarters ranged directly aver the head of Mrs. Henry, sTrnd had It been a few feet lower and to the right or left would doubt.

Intermittent telephone connections were obtained with the town proper, but all business places were closed and man feared to go to their homes. Judge Taulbee, the County Judge, phoned that he would take no action to atop tha shooting, aa that matter was in the hands of Judge Adama.
