BULLS AND BEARS

NEW YORK, June 5-wal streets view
of the Equitable affair has been and is, in
general biased by conjecture as to the eff
feet that the scandal was might be hav-
ing on the stock market. The Wall
street talk of settlement of the affair
has in general meant a peace between war
ring factions. Consequently the street
looks on the part of the Frick committee
report. which deals with what may be
euphemisticaliy called the questionable
conduct of certain of the companys OFF,
GERS, as revealing nothing so very bad.
after all. and in general overlooks the other
part Of the report which deals with the
deferred dividend question and other mat
ters of vast Importance to the business of
life insurance. The outcome of this atti-
tude Is that large portion of the specu-
lative and financial community expects
that presently the Equitable affair will be
ended by certain compromises which will
result in some official changes and some
promises to do better in the future after
which, in the course of time, the public will
forget and forgive and go on insuring.
A limited and conservative circle In Wall
street. taking q broader view, fails to see
anything hopeful in the action of the d.
rectors in turning down the Frick commit
tee report. Undoubtedly the whole scam
dial and the disclosures that have accom-
panied 1t resulted from official jealousies
or enmities but the point is made that
the widespread publicity given to the af-
fair has enlightened the public vastly as to
the proper and improper methods of con-
Quoting the business of life insurance. and
that this business cannot now be restored
to its proper normal condition until there
Is a change in some methods. Mr.. James
J. Hill, who has earned reputation in the
financial and business world for uttering
far-seeing judgments, said recently, while
remarking on the Equitable affair, that
certain changes in method in the business
of insuring lives must be made.

WOMAN
Sent TO PRISON
FOR GATHERING WILD FLOWERS
TO PLACE ON THE GRAVE
OF HER ONLY SON.

HARTFORD, Conn, August s.
Widow Bridget Duffey's only son was
drowned the other day. She, aged and
p%enniless, buried hi min old North
cemetery, and with him buried all
hope.
She went to his unmarked grave
Sunday to moisten 1t with her tears,
to pray kind Heaven not to keep her
from him long. The widow gathered
a few wild flowers, coarse blossoms.
that grew in a corner OF the cemetery
seldom visited, and cast them on the
mound. 1t is against the strict rules
of the cemetery to pluck anything
that grows there. So the superintend-
ent, who sees widows weeping anu
hears mothers wailing every day, had
Mrs. Duffey arrested and she passed
last night in a cell. Shame added to
her burden OF o And yesterday
morning, the superintendent was in
court to urge that she be punished,
and there was the little bunch of poor
wild flowers she had picked as proof
of the heinous crime to which love
and grief had driven her.
And as 1t happened, other flowers
were there, for the whole city seem
ed to know widow Duffey had been
arrested and why. Scarcely a wealthy
woman who owns a green house but
had sent a big basket Of are bios
SONS to the widow. So had several
florists. Half a dozen prominent
criminal lawyers appeared in court
and told Mrs. Duffey they would be
proud to defend her. Their services
were not needed; the prosecuting at
torney positively refused to appear
against her, the judge promptly nolled
the case.
A sympathetic woman had sen her
carriage to drive Mrs. Duffey to her
home, among the tenements on Gov
ernor street. The widow filed the
carriage with costly roses, was driven
to the cemetery and made glorious the
little pile of earth with fragrant
beauty.
Not only the wealthy proved their
sympathy. When the widow Duffey
returned to her tenement, her neigh
bors' children brought her flowers,
less delicate, less odorous. than those
from the green houses of the rich, but
as welcome, as soothing to her sorrow
and her humiliation.

BAD MIX.UP
in COAL DEAL
iNJUNcTIoNs GRANTED c.. e
coNAWAY BRING TO LIGHT
A PECULIAR SITUATION,

The two injunctions mentioned in
yesterdays paper were filed with the
circuit clerk too late to permit Of
extended notice.
The injunctions were granted in
favor of c. E. Conway, and prohibit
the removal Of coal from the farm in
Pawpaw district owned by John w.
Wffetzei and formerly known as the
Rice farm. and from the farm owned
by j. NJ. Short, in the same district.
These farms are a part of the large
tract lying for the most part in Paw
paw district, of this county, on nearly
all of which options We're obtained by
Conway about three years ago, and
were sold, so far as the removal of
coal was concerned, last week 10 Fay
cite county capitalists. The injunc-
tons name these men as Charles l..
Stevenson, Allen F. Cooper, Thomas
5. Lackey, Andrew Brown, Philip R.
Luce, F. w. Forsythe, James S. Pat.
terson, c. A. Daley and w. F. John
son. The men who secured the Sec
oad options and who are also made
parties defendant to the suit, are
Waitman T. Barr. Camden Price and
Sanford Yost.
The price paid by the Fayette coun.
ty combination was $35 an acre, while
the price paid by Conway three years
ago was $25.
Conway at the time optioned all
of this large tract, but never took up
more than 500 or 900 acres. Many
of the farmers in the sections, al.
though notice had been served on
them that the options were accepted,
were never called upon to turn over
their lands. and came to the conclus.
ion that the options never would be
taken up. Consequently when they
were given the opportunity by Barr,
Yost and Price to reception their
lands at $35, they signed their second
contract to deliver the same goods.
The issuance of these two injunctions
shows that Conway is in this little
game too, and Pawpaw district is go.
ing to see the same when it wakes
to a realization of the situation.
Signed contracts to deliver the same
goods to two different parties will
be hard TO fill, and it looks as though
the Pawpaw farmer would have a
chance to wonder whether after all it
isn't poorer policy to sell a gold
brick than to buy one.
