ALAN G. MASON DISCHARGED.
Perry, the Negro, HeId-Friends Com
gratuIaIe Mason.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 1.-THE dis
charge of Alan G. Mason of Boston, ac-
cused of the murder of Clara A. Morton
at WaverIey, a week ago last Saturday
night, was ordered by Judge Charles
Almy of the Third district court of
Eastern Middlesex to-day. The lawyer
for the state announced that an inves-
tigation had failed to disclose evidence
sufficient to hold the accused man, and
the court at once ordered the discharge
of Mason.
Almost Immediately, in the same court
George L. o. Perry, a young negro,
who yesterday was held as a witness
against Mason, was charged with the
murder Of Miss Morton. He pleaded
not guilty, and was remanded without
bail for hearing on November Is.
After Perry had been committed to
cell in the jair Clement G. Morgan, the
lawyer retained by his mother, paid
him a, long visit. The discussion relat-
ed to the arrangement for the defense
when a hearing is held. 1t is not known
tonight what the date of the arraign-
ment of Perry will be, conditions de-
pending upon the arrest of another ne
gro for whom the police of this city and
Boston are now making a search.
Alan G. Mason spent a most happy
afternoon and evening at his home Oh
Newbury street, Boston. There were
many callers, all intimate friends of the
family When he was asked to make a
public statement of his position he
said:
Il want to say how very happy am
that I should have such friends as it
appears am blessed with-friends that
stand by a man when there is trouble
and notoriety of the most serious and
most unpleasant kind. There are many
things in my connection with the affair
which will always be held in mind
pleasantly by me, and there are also
some things which will wish to for
get. The former fills my mind tonight;
the latter will, hope, pass away for
ever"

MASCAGNI A POOR DEBTOR.
Appears im Boston Court for Formal
Relief

Boston, Nov. 11.-Pietro Mascagni,
the composer, appeared in court again
to-day, this time in the poor debtor
session, to secure formal relief from OBJ
legation of those who provided $4,000
bonds for him at the time of his arrest
on mesne process Saturday night. The
court ordered the. composers discharge
and he is accordingly free to leave the
state. His bondsmen also are relieved
from liability. The only thing that
compels Mascagni to return here Is the
$4,000 given as surety to answer the
suit of Mittenthal Brothers, his late
managers, in their action for alleged
breach of contract.
again Arrested and Released.
Later in the day Mascagni was again
arrested on mesne process in connec-
ton with the suit brought against him
by Joseph Smith, the impressario, who
conducted the negotiations in Italy that
resulted in the composers contract for
his American tour with the Mittenthal
Brothers. Mr., Smith, who is now with
Nine. Duse, claims that he holds a con-
tract by which Mascagni agreed to pay
him certain per cent. of the $50, 900
he was to receive from the Mittenthal
Brothers.
1t is for this commission, or 1920,
that Mr.. Smith now sues. The witt in
this case is returnable on the same day
as the Mittenthal writ-December l.
The arrest to-day was made quietly
and a temporary settlement was quick
ly effected through the acceptance OF a
$1,000 bond given by Messrs Samuel
and Louis Kronberg.
Rome, No 11.-Mascagni's lawyer In
Rome has written a letter to the press
saying the American court is incompe-
tent to decide the differences between
Mascagni and his American managers
as the latter signed the contract with
Mascagni in Italy, and agreed to sub
init any dispute which might arise to an
italian court at Florence.

RIDGELY SOUNDS WARNING

New Orleans, La, Nov. 1.-THE
twenty-eighth annual convention of
the American Bankers association as
sembled in Tulane hall to-day, begin
ming a three days session. This is be-
lieved to be the largest meeting of the
association ever held. Fifteen hundred
delegates had registered at headquar-
ters to-day, in addition to nearly 500
visitors and ladies.
The most important address of the
day was made by William B. Ridgely,
comptroller of the currency, in which
he sounded warning regarding pres
ent conditions. Important extracts
from the address follow:
/ have recently seen a statement that
the profits of the operation of one of
the great railway trunk lines are being
reduced by a too great density of traf-
fic and too large a volume of business.
Heretofore it had been found that as
the volume and density of traffic in
creased, the cost of operation, and par
ticularly the cost of conducting trans
portation, was much smaller propor-
tion of the gross earnings, and, in con-
sequence, the net earnings increased
more rapidly than the gross. Now,
however, it is found that there is a
limit to this with a given plant of
tracks, terminals, and motive power,
and that when the volume and dem
sity of traffic passes a certain point,
the slightest delay or arrangement Of
train movement spreads so rapidly and
so far that it more than proportionate-
ly increases the cost of operation and
the resulting net earnings are less than
with a small gross amount.
The general business in the United
States, and more particularly the finan-
cial and banking operations, are in
much the same condition to-day, and
there is danger in our situation from
an excess of business and lack of
machinery and facilities for conducting
it. Tt is becoming more and more ap-
parent that there must be some cur
tailment of operations or increase in fa-
eilities either by the addition of new
means or more efficient use of the old
ones if we would avoid serious trou-
BILE. if not disaster, For several years
there has been steady and enormous
increase in the volume Of all kinds of
business which has necessarily pro-
duced a very large expansion. The
Clearinghouse transactions have in
creased from fifty-four billion dollars
in 1897 to one hundred and fourteen
billions in 1901, an increase of sixty
billions. That Is, they have more than
doubled in amount

. tolerabse to the Best Of Them.
Helsingfors, Finland, Nov. 1.-THE
Finlanders are showing restlessness as
a result of the Russianizing measures
of the st. Petersburg government. Self
restraint is beginning to yield to a will
ingness on the part Of a portion Of the
population to tolerate acts OF violence.
Such acts have hitherto been severely
frowned down. Another serious indica-
tion is the beginning of closer. relations
between Finlanders and Russian revolu-
tionists. 1t is perfectly understood
that the Russians will have their way
in the end, but it is evident that in thS
meanwhile no opportunity will be lost
to render them ridiculous or to create
difficulties for them.
