BOSTON IS STARTLED
BY BANKS DISTRESS
Feared That There Will Be FURRY
In Copper Today.

Boston, Dec. 21.-The news that a re-
ceiver had been appointed for the
| Globe National bank has taken this
city by surprise. While the bank was
known to have been in distress ten
days ago, presumably over the decline
in copper Specialties, chiefly United
States Mining company ii was thought
the crisis had passed. This was borne
out to all external appearances in the
| market by the reassuring tone of deal
ings the past few days.
The Boston clearing house came to
the assistance of the Globe bank, al
though when the Broadway National
bank later was in trouble, the same
body declined to offer assistance. Three
days ago it was officially stated that
the clearing house committee had GER
tificates signed to a large amount to
revive any solvent bank should press
ure come upon it. For this reason the
situation in financial circles here to-
morrow is hardly likely TO be seriously
affected by the Globe bank receivership.
President II. H. Stevens, who sue
ceeded Charles II. Cole some months
ago. absolutely refused to say any
thing regarding the comptrollerS ac-
ton.
Calm Follows Storm.
The calm that followed the storm of
Saturday and the failure of the Broad
way bank had been taken in financial
circles as one of reinsurance and hope,
and it was the universal opinion that
the furry in copper stocks had passed.
The closing of the Globe bank. there
fore, seemed most discouraging, and
there were few persons who did not
intimate that tomorrow would be even
a worse day than last Saturday.
Others, however, were of the opinion
that the failure of the Globe bank had
been so far discounted and provided
for. at least among conservative finan-
ciers, that it would have little effect
upon local stocks and that by concert
ed action and the strong backing of the
clearing house any further gale in To-
cal stocks would be weathered with
comparative ease.
Nevertheless, the failure is one of the
most startling and far-reaching since
the closing of the Maverick bank eight
years ago, and as it intimately involv-
ed the value of Boston's pet copper
stocks. the outcome tomorrow is anx-
iously awaited.
Difficulties of Bank.
The bank has been in difficulty for
some months, in fact, ever since tha
resignation of Charles H. Cole. for
many years its president Mr. Coles
retirement Cdustu a SeiSdtiou dt the
time. for it was known that he was
heavily interested in the copper COM
bine known as the United States Mining
One of the directors. n. H. Stevens,
was elected to fill the position of presil
dent, and since then has done every
thing possible to keep the bank from
going under. Every known method was
to keep up the tone of the mar
ket in copper shares, and it was ex-
pected that the bank would gradually
be able to realize on a greater part of
the loans on these stocks without loss.

Carbolic Acid Without a Label
Another Clerk Says He Found the
Label.
Especial TO The HeraId1

Provo, Dec. 21.-Two complaints
against DR.. F. H. Simmons were sworn
to this morning by George Stagg and
filed in Justice S. K. Kings court The
doctor was put under arrest about
noon.
The first complaint charges that on
the 18th day of December, DR.. F. H.
Simmons was a salesman at the Elk
horn pharmacy, and that George Stage
ordered from him, as salesman, 10 cents
worth of gin, and that Simmons ''un-
lawfully, feloniously and negligently
substituted and delivered to said George
Stage a poison to-wit: carbolic acid -
which said carbolic acid was then and
there drank by one George Choules,
thereby then and there causing the
death of him, the said George Choules.
The other complaint is the same, ex-
cept that it charges DR.. Simmons with
''unlawfully, felOniously and negligent

acid" which DR.. Simmons sold to

DR.. Simmons heard of the complaints
being filed against him, and went
straight to Judge Kings office, where
Sheriff Storrs was then waiting for the
warrants OF arrest
Simmons was then formally arrested
and placed under $500 bonds to appear
for preliminary hearing set for Sat

Dr. Simmons will be 60 years old to-
morrow, and has been practicing medi-
cine and handling drugs since he was

twenty-one years, having held import
ant positions IN the city government
during that time, and is now city

the great decline in all stocks, how
ever, carried down the coppers, and
last Tuesday the bank was forced to
call upon the clearing house for assist
ance- After a consultation the clearing
house came TO the rescue and issued
100000 in certificates to enable the
Globe to meet its Indebtedness to other
banks.
The action of the clearing house was
generally regarded as timely, although
there was much surprise expressed
when, two days later, the clearing
house refused to rescue the Broadway
bank from the hands of a receiver.
Brokers' Firm Facts.
On Monday came the failure of the
brokerage firm that financed the min
ing company, but no other followed,
and as the Globe bank gave no inten-
ton of succumbing through the bad
fall in copper stocks, confidence in the
local situation seemed in fair way
of being restored.
Whether the old wound. will be OPEN
ed again tomorrow remains to be seen.
but ii is known that every effort will
be made on the part of strong financial
institutions to avert a panic. Upon their
success depends the status of many
brokerage houses which have been car
rying over Christmas heavy blocks of
copper STOCKS. "A lew OF lnOSe nOttSSet
have already attempted to project
themselves, and attachments have besn
filed against the promoters of the Unit
ed States Mining company, Charles H.
Cole. late president of the Globe bank,
William H. Coolidge and Edward H.
Clark.
Action of Comptroller.
The action of the comptroller in wait
ing a reasonable time for the guaranty
to be made good regarding the assets
of the bank is generally acknowledged
to have been very generous on his
part. and indicated a desire TO assist
as much as possible, and it is gener-
ally agreed that if the bank had been
closed last week severe panic would
have ensued. which would have I'M
doubtedly carried down other stocks
and wrecked many strong institutions.
During the past week the withdraw
ais from the bank have been exceeding
ly heavy, amounting, it is said, to over
S2,000,000 in deposits.

pated at the opening of BE stock ex-

priced by Englishmen but the Englishman
must have a care in expressing mis- opinion
concerning the nativity of the shrimp he
may be devouring at the time, for, like
much of the beef, the great quantity Of
shrimp now come from the United States.
1t is not generally as plump as the English
shrimp, but possesses a flavor that may go
far towards making up the difference in
size.
The shrimp industry has been increasing
for many years in the United States The
taste for the shrimp was carried to Amer
lea by English peop.e, but Americans were
slow to appreciate It's merits. The demand
being small, the. native American, who
must make money rapidly or not at ali, d
not think it worth his while to take up the
industry. Now, upon the shores of Cali
fornia, may be found thousands of China
men engaged in shrimping. and all of these
making satisfactory wages. while their
bosses have become rich in the business.

many years the poisonous nature of the
water between London and Gravesend
made it impossible TO bring the cells up
in this way alive, except perhaps il
WEI winter from December to March,
but even then their customers some
times complained that the eels had
coal gas flavor. At other times they
were obliged TO take the cells out of the
wells below Gravesend. and bring them
to Billingsgate in boxes on deck, an
expensive method which they would
avoid if they could.
The dead cells shown in the basket
were the result of an experiment one CT

or two previously. After taking the

one, and it's a beauty. The chain is
dull gold, and the pendants are
amethyst cubes.
The liking for hearts is on the in
crease, and the latest within of the sum-
mer girl is to collect them in silver and
gold. In fact, these trinkets are recog-
nized monuments to deceased firta-
tons, with the gay gallants' mono
grams as epitaphs. A sprig of a girl,
who is a capable musician, is wearing
a series of silver wires in bracelet form,
from which dangle hearts a-plenty.
Her preference is for small ones, with
the deSerter's or deserted's birthstone
planted on their smooth surfaces. OF
course that freckled female, the golf
girl, scorns a bracelet unadorned by
golfiing stick, but there's no limit as to
how many she may wear, for both
arms are extended to receive such trite
homage from every man in sight with
the price and inclination. Trelawny
hearts in mother of pearl are the really
chic evidences Of the craze. They are
things of beauty in tinted pearl green,
blue and pale pink or topaz. AS many
as a half dozen of them are worn on a
heavy gold or silver chain. To accen-
tuate the fad my chum wears chain
of big ones, bangle bracelet of smaller
size and three tiny ones on a finger
ring. Some are silver inlaid; others are
bracketed in gold. Crystal hearts inva-
riably sport leaf caps of gold or silver,
and these are most attractive.
Fob chains lay claim to distinction.
