THE HEAT RECORD.

Not much relief is promised by the local
weather bureau from the excessive heat of
the past few days. The forecast an
nounced is for partly cloudy weather to-
day with probable showers and continued
warm weather. 1t is hoped that the show
ers will come and that they will cool the
air sufficiently to make life more endurable.
ONE DEATH RESULTS.
One death yesterday was caused indirectly
by the heat. George F. Strick. fourteen
year-old boy, who lives at l0l1 Rhode Is
land street. became overheated while in
swimming a day or two ago. and yesterday
sucumbed. Harold G.. Curtis was pros
trated, but his condition is not considered
serious. Curtis lives at l0l2 North New

HAMILTON, O.. July n.-Testimony in
rebuttal was resumed in the Alfred Knapp
case to-day with only a few more witnesses
to examine. A. w. Clark, William
Schwarm and Charles Goddard testified
that they regarded Knapp as sane. Drs.
F. NJ. Barden and c. n. Huston were called
by the State. They said they had visited
Knapp and examined him and made some
tests for insanity. They found nothing TO
indicate that the prisoner was irresponsi-

Attorney Darby took the stand for Knapp

more so. They announce that protec
ton does protect; that, in spite of the
fact that wages in this country are
more than double those in Great Brit
ain. the amount of exports of manu-
featured goods to this country has
greatly decreased, while our manufac-
tured exports to that country are in
creasing rapidly. The same applies to
all protected nations. so that Great
Britain is declared TO be in a disad-
vantagcous position. especially as the
United States can, so soon as there is
lull in local demand, food Great Brit

RUN ON ST. LOUIS Banks.
Demands Are Promptly Met by In
stitutions Affected.

From shortly before o'clock Tuesday
afternoon until the closing hour. 3
o'clock, runs were made in the savings
departments Of three banks of st. Louis
and at the same time more than the or
binary amount OF Withdrawals by saw
ings depositors We're noticeable in the
other banking institutions.
The run. so far rs il can be traced,
was started by disquieting rumor from
the outside that seemed to strike St.
Louis shortly after noon to the effect
that the savings institutions there were
unSound. aud like a prairie fire it spread
in a fash through the streets and differ.
ent mercantile establishments whose EN-
ployes represent the majority Of the saw
ings depositors.
With a rush the corridors of the Lin
coin Trust Company, the Mercantile
Trust Company and the Mississippi Val
ley Trust Company were filled with men
and women, all eager to withdraw their
money. The scene in any one bank was
duplicated in the other two. A line of
people with bank books in their hands
and faces eagerly scanning the little
barred windows of the bank tellers
stretched ont into the street and inter
mingled were policemen and bank officials
counseling calmness aud giving assur-
ances of solvency.
st. Louis bankers and trust company
officials with one voice lay the blame for
the runs on Chicago stock brokers, whom
they accuse of deliberately circulating
malicious and utterly unfounded rumors
concerning st. Louis financial institutions
for the purpose of depressing and bear
ing the stock market.
As soon as the runs started all other
business was laid aside aud every facil-
ity was afforded for the prompt payment
of deposits. The clause which gives the
bank the privilege of Withholding pay
ment until sixty days after notification
was waived and amounts were paid rap
idly, regardless of their size. There was
no disorder manifested at any of the in
stitutions, and in many eases depositors
who had hurried to withdraw their
money departed W thout it after having
conyersed few minutes with the Off
eials.
The directors of he different trust
companies at meetings Tuesday night de.
cided to enforce the thirty and sixt, dag
notification clause in an effort to stop al
tendency to a continuation OF runs.

ACCUSES MORGAN AND scHwAs
Receiver of Shipbui1dinE Company
ArTaigns Financiers.


!. +. Morgan. Charles VI. Schwab,
Col. j. J. McCook and others are ar
raigned severely BY Receiver james
Smith, Jr in his report on the United
States Shpbuilding Company's affairs
which was filed with United States Cir
cult Judge Patrick. in Trenton. n j.,
on Thursday. Mr. Smith states that
Charles VI. Schwab. J. T. Morgan. Her
bert Satteree. Morgan's son-in-law, and
several vendors or controlling owners Of
constituent companies received bonds
and STOCK for which no equivalent was
ever paid the United States Shipbuiid-
ing Company.
His report charges that Schwab and
Morgan alone received 100000 pre-
ferred and common stock, for which they
rendeasd absolutely no equivalent He
also q arncterizes as reprehensible the
secret Morgan-Schwab-II Harris Gates &
Go. agreement by which the S2O,000.0O0
OF Morgan and Schwab preferred and
common Shipbuilding stock was TO be
marketed In advance OF other outside
securities.
Terms s.th as fraudulent" and rep
rehensible" abound in the report, which
is remarkable also for its drastic and IN
gloved handling Of various questionable
phases Of United States Shipbuilding
promotion, and particularly the farcical
sale Of the Bethlehem Steel Company by
Charles NJ. Scbwab.
Receiver Smith goes so far rs TO init
mate strongly that Charles NJ. Schwab
was acting simply as an agent for the
steel trust when he paid S7,2OO,O0O for
the Bethlehem plant.
The receiyership report specially ital-
iczes the manner in which }. l.. Nor
gan dominated c. VI Schwab as well as
others in shipyard promotion in forcing
