DAY OF VIOLENT
DECLINES IN STOCKS,
Liquidation in Specialties Demor-
allies the New York Market,
Causing New Low Records.
ROCK ISLAND VERY WEAK.
Capitalists Express Much Doubt as
to Financing the Proposed New
Line From Chicago to
New Orleans.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York, July 20-Scattered liquidation
which became violent in special stocks
again appeared in Wall street to-day, with
the result that the stock market became
weak and demoralized.
The volume OF business was not large in
view OF the great excitement which the
big declines in the specialties caused. but it
was noticeable that there was fair support
for the leading railroad shares.
In such issues as Amalgamated Copper,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. st. Louis and San
Francisco second preferred and certificates.
and New York Air Brake. there were Sc
we're declines ranging from to Ii points.
In New York Central, Pennsylvania, st.
Paul and Baltimore and Ohio. the selling
appeared to meet considerable resistance
New low. records were established for
several stocks. among which were United
mon and preferred.
Special weakness was displayed in The
so-called Rock Island issues, which include
the Rock Island common and preferred
shares. the per cent bonds and the issues
of the st. Louis and San Francisco and
the controlled lines There was "a drop of
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad. which is
now superseded by the Rock Island Com
pany. This stock was sold at 147. but the
amount was only block of 100 shares.
The new Rock, Island common stock
dropped TO Is and the preferred to 65is.
Chicago and Eastern Illinois certificates.
which are guaranteed by the Frisco. and
which. in turn, is controlled by the Rock
Island. dropped 10 points to 155.
These common stock certificates of the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois bear interest
at the rate of 10 per cent, and they We're
taken over by the Frisco on a basis of $50
When they were. first traded in on the
Stock Exchange after the deal between the
Frisco agreement and the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois. these certificates sold
above 200.
Some doubts were expressed in Wall
street to-day over the adVisability Of
financing the new system, which the Rock
Island has planned from Chicago to the
Gulf, In which there is to be merging OF
the existing branches and an interchange Of
securities for those OF new holding COM

Lottte Brinkmeyer. They have been sep
arated for the last SIX years.
Brinkmeyer had been boarding with his
sister, Mrs. Mary Vogt, since he left his
wife. Mrs. Nogt stated last night that he
was a Woodworking man and that he very
seldom carried a large sum of money.
Those at the police station stated yester-
day that they had no object to hill him.
The Enste girl admits having carried
around ball bat, but says she did it for
loon on Broadway late Saturday night and
the girls asked him for money. He gave
them Is cents, which was all that he had:
After talking with the. girls for a while
go home. since he was under the influence
of liquor. He would not go. When the
girls last saw him he was walking down
Buchanan street east of Broadway. The
girls then went home. at least the Vogt
girl did. Her mother says that she returned
home about 10 O'Clock.
All of the girls state that they had more
reason for letting the old man live than
to kill him. as he was always good to them
and gave them morey whenever they asked
him for it. Brinkmeyer had a life insurance
policy for 500 and had 800 in the Bremen
Bank. This is all he had.
