False Report That Shook the

CBy the Associated Press.O

New York. Oct. 3.-The stock market

afternoon by the receipt of a dispatch
from Washington by two news bureaus,
saying that the Comptroller of the Cur
rency had declared illegal Secretary
Shaw's plan to abolish the 25 per cent.
reserve on Government deposits in Ma
tional Banks and thus put $30O0O00O out
to relieve the money market. The news
flashed through Wall Street by the tick
er service, and in short time heavy
blocks of stocks were offered for sale ut
rapidly falling prices. ST. Paul, which
had been strong all day, fell 5%, Mis-
souri, Pacific IA, Reading 4, Union

and Ohio. General Electric and Colorado

stocks from 1 to points. The rush to
unload was overwhelming for a time, but
orders to buy were given by strong in
terests to protect securities and a rally
followed. Near the close an autnol Ct.
denial was received from the Comptroller
of the Currency and the market closed

AREMAEABLE CHALLENGE.
Slocomb Willing to Debate With Patterson if
North Carolina is Left Out.
Especial to News and Observer)


Fayetteville, N. c., Oct. 3.-The Fay
etteville Observer this afternoon gives
the correspondence lately passed between
Colonel A. H. Slocomb and the Hon.
G. B. Patterson, relative to the formers
most remarkable challenge" for joint
political debate. The Observer calls 1t
a "challenge with a string tied to it,
and remarks that Mr.. Pritchard would
have been pleased to have called for like
immunity, We're it not so absurd Col
onel" Slocomb is willing to debate y
but Mr.. Patterson must not refer to un-
pleasant things He must not refer to
anything that the Colonel" does not
acre to hear about. He can talk about
the Philippines and the isles Of the sea-
but by no chance must he refer to North
Carolina, or the immediate affairs OF the
people in the Sixth district.
The Colonel" wants to debate on
"a high plane" And surely no one can
blame him. Perhaps the Colonel" now
talking to white men and proclaiming in
dependence of opinion, did not anticipate
the amendment when he was seeking
preferment at the hands of his colored
brethren several years ago, more espe-
ciaIIy at the meeting when Major Gen
eraI" Waddel complimented him so
highly. No, this is unpleasant, and why
not spare the Colonel" now that ''he is
running for Congress. THIRTY
YEARS IS NOT THE LONGEST TIME
THAT A MAN HAS STOOD AGAINST
THE WELFARE AND SECURITY OF
HIS COMMUNITY AND HIS NEIGH
BORIS. The people of the Sixth district
are neither fools nor blind.

emily the rock upon which the conference
split was recognition of the miners

pendent mine operator had squarely re-
fused arbitration. had denounced the

1t was a remarkable chapter in the
economic history of the country that was
written today. For the first time the
President Of the Republic had intervened
directly between the great forces of capi-
ial and labor in an effort to avert what
he himself regarded as a great national
calamity The result was to bring the
principals in the great controversy face
to face with the whole country early in
tent upon, and watchful of their doings.
Technically the issues between the two
great forces stand as they did before
the President summoned representatives,
of the contending forces to the national
capital and forgetting his own acute suf-
fering besought them for love of the
great country wherein they dwelt and
