Montana Supreme Court Says 1t Was
Evident in Minnie Healy Case.

Butte. Mont, July 27.-The decision
OF Judge Harvey, of Butte, refusing a
new trial in the Minnie Healey case,
has been reversed by the Montana SILL
preme court and the case remanded.
The litigation involves mining proper
ty worth $4,000, 900 or more. The
reversal was based upon the charges
of misconduct made against Judge Har-
ney and upon the merits OF the case
The supreme court also modities the or
der OF survey granted to Heinze in the
N'rper case and denies motion filed
by Henze's attorneys to draw down the
certified check for 1925, 00C, filed as a
bond in the Minnie Healey case, from
the Daily Bank 4 Trust Company.
Judge Harney's decision in favor of
Heinze in the Minnie Healey case was
reversed by the supreme court on the
ground that "no judgment of a court
OF justice SO tainted with corruption as
the rercord leaves this, should stand,
and its cancellation in this insance will
be the evidence of the determination of
this court to pursue to the utmost its
constitutional and lawful authority to
the end that public confidence in our
judicial system may not he lessened,
and that the fountain of justice may be
kept pure"

FAILURES ON CHANGE.
Two Welt Known New York Firms
Go Under

New York, July 27.-The announce
ment IN the s.oct exchange of the eus-
pension OF the firms of Talbot J. Taylor
x Co and W. l. Stove x Co. was the
sequel to IA period OF excited selling OF
~tocks and wide outs de prices, which
mas not Teen equalled before since the
pr sent movement to liqnida'e set in.
There is nothil in either failure that
can be TIA ed to business or industrial
onditions outside the exchange, the
cansr lying close to a diagnosis OF spec
ulaiive collapse. Both firms have been
largely concern,d in speculative stock
market pools formed for the purpose of
taking on a line of stocks, sustaining
heir price by supporting orders, real
or manipulative, and seek ing to realize
profits by selling to outsiders at high
prices.
Such operations have suffered from
increasing diff ulties with the growth
in the stringency of the money market,
the soIicitude of bankers over loans en-
ployed in such projects, and the jaded
appetite of the public for securities
The operations of the firm of W. l..
Stowe 4 Co were on large scale in
Mexican Centrval,' and the difficulties
which have accumulated upon them
are accentuated by the price of / l
touched by Mexican Central under the
present forced selling and the high
level OF 81 s last year.
