the assets. at the present market price,
largely exceed that sum. The liabilities are
que almost entirely to banks and bankers on
loans made and are all well secured. The
cause OF the suspension was the inability of
the firm TO borrow the necessary amount of
cash required in the days business. The

The firm had an abundance of collateral to-

NO EVIDENCE TO CONVICT.
The Grant-Ross Timber Stealing
Cases Dismissed.

Special TO the Globe.
HELENA, Mont, Nov. 1.-THE great
timber stealing cases against the con-
tractors for the Great Falls & Canada
railroad came to an end in the United
States court to-day after very short
trial. The cases were those of Donald
Grant and j. NJ. Ross, who were charged
in the indictments with unlawfully TAX
ing timber valued at $4,000 from gov
ernment land on the North and South
canyons of the Teton between Feb. Is
and April II. this year. Altogether
about 100000 ties were cut for use in
the construction of what is popularity
known as the Lethbridge road. Grant
was put on trial first. The wit
nesses against him were special timber
Agents Matthews and Haley. Counsel
for Grant successfully resisted all at
temptS to show that he had any knowl-
edge of where his subcontractors got
their ties, and Judge Knowles sustained
their objections. Attorney Weed finally
asked that the court instruct the jury to
acquit. He did 50. he said, because the
connection between Grant and his SUBJ
contractors was SO remote that it would
be impossible to prove anything. After
Grant was acquitted the case against
Ross was nolle pressed. 1t is claimed
by the timber agents that hundreds of
acres of government land have been de-
nuded of timber by railroad contractors
throughout the state.

THREE BANKS IN TROUBLE
Clearing House Certificates Issued
to Prevent a Crash.


to Prevent a Crash.
New YORK, Nov. 11.-Rumors of
trouble among banking institutions
were current all day, but no one said
much. thinking that they were the
usual emanations of bear minds. After
the close, however, it was learned that
three banks, which were members of
the New York Clearing House associa-
ton, had difficulty in settling the claims
of the other banks against them. There
was balance against the Bank Of
North America OF 81, 400, 900. which it
was unable to settle. The other
banks were the North River
and the Mechanics and Trad
ers'. How the heavy balance was
created against the Bank of North
America was puzzle. During the day
the Mechanics and Traders bank
made its settlement with the clearing
house all right, and the other two banks
received assistance from the other
banks in the association and were
pulled through all right. In the Bank
or North America it was stated that the
trouble was directly due to the account
of Decker Howell & Co.. and that now
that the account of that firm was closed
the bank was in a stronger position
than ever. The most important factor
in the developments was the scarcity of
money. Right up to the close it was in
urgent demand at y per cent. and legal
interest was charged on loans equal
to 1S9 per cent per annum.
This fact and the troubles of
the banks caused a special meet
ing Of the clearing house associa-
ton to be called. and after a long ses-
sion it was decided to appoint a COM
mlttee of presidents with authority to
issue clearing house loan certificates in
order to enable banks to settle balances
between themselves. These certificates
will be based on bills receivable. collat-
teral securities. cash assets and the
united credit of the banks. This action
is intended to distribute the reserves of
the banks more evenly between the in
stitutions. Where one bank is unable
to settle its differences in cash it will
deliver securities and assets to the GER
titicate committee, and if that commit
tee accepts the securities it will author
iZe the issue of certificates on them.
The united action of the banks is eX-
pected to restore complete cOnfid :nce,

year TO gain what is Just and right and
proper for labor, aud fiat refusal should be

Sioux CITY. To-. Nov. 11.-Norfolk,
Neb., beat all her competitors, and the
new OXnard beet sugar plant will be
located there. The reason it went to
Norfolk instead of some other point, is
because Norfolk bid S15O,OOO for it,
which was s5O.OO0 more than the bid of
South Sioux City, the next highest bid
der, and because the beets in that sec
ton took the first prize at the state fair.
They test fifteen pounds of granulated
sugar to the 100 pounds of beets. The
United States bounty on sugar of
~ Cents per pound and the
one cent bounty offered by the state
made very desirable business to go
into. Besides that the saving in freight
as against imported sugar is about
half a cent a pound. thus making
three and quarter cents tor the manu-
facturer on each pound produced. The
factory will be fourth larger than the
one at Grand Island, and the largest
one in the world. Norfolk people give,
besides the $150,000 bonus, fifty acres of
land. Three thousand five hundred
acres of land has been secured from
farmers to be put into beets. Two
hundred hands will commence work on
the building next week.

WILLARD STOCKS POUNDED.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE excitement
to-day in Wall street was greater than
OH any previous day since the present

movement in the general list was not so

day upon Willard shares, and stocks as Il
