CLASH OF
FINANClERS
Standard Oil and the Nor
gan-Hill interests at
Loggerheads.
Analysis Of the Rumors Of a
Combine Of Financial
Organizations.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Jan. 22.-While the reports
IN circulation yesterday Of an alliance Of
banks. trust companies and insurance
companies lacked definiteness and actual
confirmation, they attract considerable at
tentton. The Wall street combination
indicated refers chiefly to the so-called
Standard Oil interests The inclusion of
the steel corporation seems at variance
with Wall street ideas, as this company,
1t Is thought, would make alliances in an
other direction
There has for many months been a
growing supicion that there was lack of
harmony between the two largest groups
OF capitalists, the Standard Oil interests
and the Morgan-Hill interests. There Is
well defined feeling that despite the ap-
parent harmonious settlement of the
Northern Pacific difficulty by the organi-
zat1on of the. Northern Securities COM
pany there is nevertheless an under
current of hostility between the two rival
interests. One Of Hills recent state
ments relative to the Securities has lent
much color to this view. The Amalgam-
ated Copper episode and the decision of
the st. Paul directors not to increase the
dividends On common are also cited as
further evidence of lack of cooperation,
especially since these developments oc-
Cured at the time when the Morgan Hill
interests were apparently earnestly en-
deavoring to create active speculation at
advancing prices.
Their is undoubtedly feeling on the
part of an element in Wall street that
these two powerful groups of capitalists
have been gradually ranging themselves
in opposition. Both sides are strength
ening their positions by forming banking
alliances and the entrance %of insurance
companies on the scene is evidence of the
wide ramifications of rival combines.

"AUTO" FIRE ENGINES
Suggested by. Use of New Mail
Wagons Here.

The installation Of the automobile wa
CONS in the postoffice service has brought
up the question Of using some other power
than horse IN the fire department. Auto
mobile fire engines have been used sue
cessfu1ly in several eastern cities. The
one now in service in Boston is said to be
great success. The original cost is, Of
course, heavier than that for horse en-
gnes. The enc in Boston cost something
like $4,000. Officials of the fire depart
ment says the automobile would be de-
sirabe for the lighter vehicles in the de-
partment, such as the chiefs buggies, ETC.,
but they question if they would be prac-
ticable for use on the heavy engines, espe-
cially in the winter and spring when the
ground is deep in snow or mud -.

C. OF C. POSITION
Why 1t Took No Action as to Nell
.... sons Bill.

Considering the fact that the bill pro-
viding for department of commerce is
fathered by Senator Nelson of Minnesota,
there has been some surprise that SO little
enthusiasm has been shown by local bust
ness organization in the bills passage At
the time the Chicago Board of Trade con-
sidered the matter, it is understood it
came before the directors Of the Mime
apolis Chamber. No action was takeE.
This was not, however, because the mem
bers were N any degree lukewarm in the
matter. For some time it has been the
policy of the chamber to draw away as
much as possible from public questions
and to concentrate all efforts upon the
building up Of strong trading organiza-
ton. The recent withdrawal Of the cham
Der from the National Board Of Trade was
In line with this policy .'.
