ARRIVAL OF MONEY KING
WILL CLOSE SHIP DEAL

NEW " FaFE. Aug -. FaefeFFisss e tbs
expected return to New York today Of j.
p. Morgan. The Journal of Commerce
says it is thought the financier's return
will be followed by definite movement
involving the financial adjustment of the
steamship combination and adds:
From a source connected with the un-
derwriting of the new combination II was
learned that II has by no means been de-
cided that the securities of the new COM
bination will be offered for public subscrlp-
ton At any rate no immediate attempt
will be made to induce large public sub
scriptions The reason for this is the alb
solute stagnation of the ocean steamship
business which renders the time particu-
larly inopportune for floating the new Sc
curitics on favorable terms. It is, there
fore, believed that, while the organization
of the company will be promptly proceed
ed with, the underwriting syndicate will
assume the chief burden of taking care
of the new securities with the hope Of
disposing of them at advanced prices
when the steamship business improves.
That il will improve is very generally ex-
pected in shipping circles on account OF
the large crops of grain that are to be
moved during the coming autumn AMI
winter.
mo definite decision on the question of
inviting public subscriptions has. how
ever, vet been reached; and II is just pos
slble. as indicated by another responsible
source, that Mr.. Morgan may feel dis
posed to take advantage of the general
expectation Of prosperity to market the
securities"

We're met by a number of strikers, who
began persuading them not to go to the
coTliery. The officers lid not stop but kept
on their way and tried to prevent trouble.
The strikers, IL is said, then began to
abuse the men and followed them nearly
up TO the colliery. There are conflicting
stories as to what actually brought on the

WiIINot Talk.

NEW YORK, Aug %. - Prominent
among the long list of passengers who
arrived today on the steamship Oceanic
from Liverpool were ]. Pierpont Morgan,
Bishop H. c. Potter, OF New York; Glenn
ent A. Griscom, Of Philadelphia, president
Of the international Navigation company;
p. A. B. Widener, Of Philadelphia, and
Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the English &C
tress.
Mr.. Morgan declined to be interviewed,
saying he had nothing to give out for pub
1cation.
Bishop Potter said he had had delight
ful trip abroad but was glad to get home.
Il am surprised and sadly disappointed
to md the coal strike still unsettled" he
continued. ut is certainly too bad that 1t
has not been settled long since. 1 sup
posed II was all over and the news of its
continuation, which greets me here, is the
one dark spot on a most joyous home
coming. The anthracite coal operators
have all along maintained a false posi-
ton. They take the stand that they viii
not deal with the organizations, but in
sist on dealing with the men as individ-
uals. Now this is all wrong. Any body
of men, whose interests are common, have
the right to organize into an association
for mutual protection and are entitled to
recognition as an organization in matters
which affect their individual and COM
Dined interests.
Clement A. Griscom said:
Il do not know when the steamship
combine will be incorporated. When 1
went away everything was ready for its
Incorporation, so expect 1t will take
place very soon"
Has the Cunard line entered into the
combination?" he was asked.

considered the Cunard line"

When asked If he had not heard that a
consolidation of the important beef pack

said that he had heard of It. but did not
know what the amount OF capital stock
proposed was.

MURDER MYSTERY
BATTLES POLICE

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-The police have
a mystery to solve in the finding in the
North river, near the battery OF the Dooy
of a man with the right leg missing.
Two hours later a right leg of man was
found floating In Gravesend Bay, about
five miles south of where the body was
picked up.
What puzzles the police is the fact that
while the body was found denuded
of clothing the leg was dressed in dark,
grey striped trousers, white SOCK and
lace shoes. The proportions Of the leg
and the body. as reported By the police
indicate that together they make up one
person The man was about % years OLD,
five feet ten inches tall and weighed
about 225 pounds. The appearance of the
leg indicates that 1t had been severed at
the thigh by some sharp instrument
much after the manner that butcher
Yields a knife. In the trousers pocket
was found gold ring studded with three
amethysts.

have to say as the head of the party. He
viii tell the president that the time was
never more propitious in the history Of
the state for advancing the cause Of Re
publicanism. Senator Pritchard derived
little benefit from his stay in Bakersville.
from which place he has just returned,
and Is therefore still sick in mind and
body. He is very loath 10 enter an active
campaign at this time and will do so
with a sense of reluctance. Letters from
party leaders all over the state and deep
interest I'm his party are the factors In
his determination to enter the campaign
Immediately after the state Republican
convention on the 18th. and prosecute II
without cessation TO the end. II may be
stated with an absolute degree of posi-
tiveness that the joint canvass between
Senator Pritchard and Locke Craig, Dem

probably fatally injured in Neptune Park
here this evening by being impaled on the
shaft of surrey. The victim, who Is 80
years old, was riding a bicycle down a
rather steep hill. when he lost control of
his machine. The surrey appears to have
been at a standstill, and on its own side
OF the road when the collision took place.
Harry Corsen was driving the vehicle,
and with him were his brother and two
young women. Corsen says he saw that
the man descending the hill was in diff
culties, and, guiding his horse to the far
side Of the road. halted. The wheelman
bore directly down on him, and dashed
into the shaft. The girls became hyster-
zeal at the sight. Corsen and his brother
leaped out, and while holding the fright
ened horse dragged Potter from the
shaft. The metal tip protruded two in
ches beyond the mans back. Potter was
taken to the New Rochelle hospital.
