Special Dispatch TO The Call.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Colonel W. c.
Green. the well known mining man,
has come out with a flaming excoriation
Of Thomas ". Lawson. These are some
Of the things that he calls the Boston
author Of ''Frenzied Finance:
A fraud. a wrecker Of widows for
tunes. liar. a faker, a charletan.'
Added to this. Colonel Green declares
with significant emphasis that he is go
ing TO pay a visit to Lawson in the lat
ter's Boston Office. Figuratively. the
Western miner says Look out.''
Green figured three months ago in a
sensational hold-up in an L" train,
when a Westerner by the name Of
Goodman kept the mining man covered
with TWO big revolvers all the way
from Colonel Green's hotel to Green's
Office. The man was released from the
Tombs a few days ago, the charge
against him having been dropped.
This is what Colonel Green has to say
about demanding satisfaction from
Lawson in his office:
morrow, in Boston, I shall cali
on YOU. I for many years have stood
as worker, as a man who has built up
and who has created. and I know that
the savings Of lifetime Of many hon
est investors have been swept away by
the falsehoods that you have spread
abroad through the public press. To-
morrow, at your Office, shall denounce
e-r~.
and a charlatan. The Master long ago
said: BY your works ye shall be
judged Personally, I shall call upon
you for your answer tomorrow"
Colonel Green, like Lawsop, delivers
himself Of the foregoing through the
medium Of half-page advertisements
that VIII appear in to-morrow's news
papers.

market to-day, using Amalgamated

Sugar and the street" has il that he
viii continue his tactics tomorrow. It
is understood that another half-page
broadside viii be sprung upon the pub
lie in the morning advertising columns
and that he viii continue this form Of
attack more or less throughout the
week. Last week. Lawson claims. he
spent Ss2, 900 in advertising, while tele-
graph tolls and circulars brought the
total UP 10 100000. In an interview
to-day he said:
The frightened leaders and agents
OF the system spread reports that I
f- Hrr Sci,
ers and maniDulators Of Wall street.
that I was making a mere stock raid /;
that ] was trying to shake down Mr..
Rogers. The truth is that l have no
partners. Not a soul knew my plans
until my first advertisement appeared.
I have no price, for there can be no
peace now until the whole rotten
scheme Of finance is smashed. 1 am in
deadly earnest. The Government is
bound to take notice Of the great
crimes against the people"
Lawson says that If no Federal ac-
tion is taken toward prosecuting the
stock waterers. stock jobbers and fin
ancial manipulators he win take it him
self. In a statement this afternoon he
said.
II believe the system for the first
time realized that this battle is going to
be fought with facts. and that such
fakes as were spread broadcast on Fri
day and Saturday, which heretofore
have been the systems principal am
munitiOn, must be abandoned. 1t will
be well for the insiders Of great cor
porations which buy their own securi-
ties from the public. after having sold
them 70 the public at higher prices,
and after their directors and insiders
have sold theirs, TO get in all such work
At once, for this class Of business is
going 70 end"
WALL STREET HARD HIT.
NEW YORK, Dec. l2-Becinning
with heavy declines in Amalgamated
Copper, to-day's market was weak
throughout the entire session. the oc
casional rallies falling to hold prices
for more than a few minutes at a
time. Although values crumbled away
rapidly. there was little excitement in
the street. Brokers seemed To have
nothing but selling orders, they said
and they did not look beyond that fact
the recent reckless speculation and the
campaign by newspaper advertisement
against a, copper stock. to find reasons
for the drop in prices. Money was
easy and loans were made freely, but
collateral was scrutinized very care
fully. The market closed weak, with
prices generally at the lowest.
