which the public has hitherto been kept
in the dark, brought to a successful COM

Mr.. Flint floated both the United States

'Is 1t -. case" was asked Of Charles
II. Flint yesterday. that James X.
Keene and his son-in-lsw, Talbot j. Tay-
lor. are angry at the way rubber stocks
have gone down."
II have no reason 10 think so, said Mr..
Flint. THE decline in United states Rub
ber was due to the coming OF two open
winters. when the demand for rubber
boots and shoes was cut down, and in
the scramble for the reduced business
prices were slashed. Mr.. Keene appre-
ciates that, | presume At one time he
helped i'm campaign TO raise the prices
OF rubber stocks, and must have made
a great deal of money then. Whether
he lost on the decline as much as he
made on the rise i do not know

mutual protection that the conference
was held There being no organized
movement neither chairman nor secre-
tary was chosen, but the consensus OF
opinion was that both the will OF 1884 and
the codicf OF 1891 were too arbitrary in
their character. BY the will of June 10.
1884, everything both real ard personal
was bequeathed outright TO the widow.

means that while the will as "A document
