brick makers which practically con-
trolled the output OF brick in Chicago
and vicinity.
As soon as the witnesses were called
in court the defense announced that
William H. Wyckler. general superin-
tendent of the Illinois Brick company,
had decided to turn states evidence,
and it was desired that the punishment
to be inflicted on the other nine de-
PENDANTS should be RENTED in his case.
States Attorney Healy declared that
he was willing that this action should
be taken in Mr.. Wyclzler's case and the
attorneys then entered pleas of guilty
for all the other defendants. The court
assessed fines of $4,000 in each case, the
amount was paid at once by the attOr-
neys and the defendants were dismiss
ed.
The charge against the labor leaders
included with the officials of the brick
combine in the Indictment was that
they called strikes on buildings where
the contractors used brick purchased
from others than those in the conbina-
ton. In cases where the strikes were
called, it was stated by the states at
torney the contractors were compelled
to pay their men for all the time they
were on strike under penalty of having
their supplies cut off by the combina-
ton or having a second strike called.

company; James H. Eckles, president
of the Commercial National bank;
Byron Smith, president of the North

No successor to Vice President
Blount was elected. The officials
named above will compose a syndicate
which will liquidate the affairs of the
bank and pay all claims against it and
the Home Savings bank and the Equit-
able Trust company.
In order to make secure as far as
possible all claims against the bank,
Mr.. Walsh today turned over to the
officials of the clearing house who are
operating the two banks all of his
property. Mrs. Walsh also made over
to the clearing house all the property
standing in her name. It is expected
that there will be enough of this to
make the amount to be paid out by
the other banks of the city compare
lively small when the accounts are
fully balanced.

connection with the Equitable Trust
company of Chicago.
The Walsh institutions were REGARDED
here as political banks.
ar. walsh was a familiar figure in
this city and it was known that he had
been pressed for money during the year.
The Chicago National bank gave special
attention to collections from out Of town
while the Equitable Trust company of
chicago was widely advertised as the
only exclusively Trust company in Chi
cago. The direct cause of the failure
OF the Walsh institutions is attributed
here to Walsh's activity in the affairs
of the Southern Indiana Railway com
pany which he controlled. This railroad
travefses a district which is said to be
rich IN COAL marble and granite. Not
long ago bankers report that Walsh
tried to sell some $4,000. 900 or 5000. 600
of bonds of this company for the pur-
pose of extending the Southern Indiana
into Illinois. His failure TO sell the
bonds was the cause of much comment
here and at Chicago at the time.

phasizes the danger Of the banks be-
ing interested in outside institutions
requiring large amounts or money.
The cOmptroller's office has for some
time been criticising the condition of
the Chicago National bank and call
ing upon its officers and directors to
reduce the amount of these loans and
the investments in the bonds of Mr..
WaIsh'S corporations. In spite of re-
peated promises that this should be
done these items have been continued
in the bank, and in order to prevent
further entertainments it was neces-
sary for the comptroller to take rad
zeal action. The comptroller's Office
has for some time been endeavoring
to make an examination of the Chi
cagO National bank simultaneously
with an examination of the state in
stitutions by the state bank examiner,
but was not able to bring this about
until few days ago. The result Of
these examinations revealed such a
serious conditions that It was neces-
sary to take immediate action"
The comptroller telephoned from
Washington instructing Bank Exami-
ner Bosworth to bring the matter at
once to the attention of the clearing
house committee and left for Chicago
sonally take whatever action was nee
essary- On the arrival of the comptrol-
Ter in Chicago, a conference was imme-
diately had with the state authorities
and the clearing house committee which
continued from 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing until o'clock Monday morning. In
addition to the clearing house commit
tee reports of all the clearing house
banks were called into the conference
about z o'clock Sunday evening. The
comptroller feels great credit is due not
only to the clearing house committee,
but to all the other clearing house
banks for the prompt, vigorous action
and the broadminded spirit shown in
meeting the emergency.
John r. Walsh, president Of the fail
ed institutions, was very busy at his
residence this morning and declined to
be disturbed when called up over the
telephone. His daughter, however, quo
ted Mr.. Walsh as stating that all infOr-
nation concerning the affairs for the
present at least would be given out by
the clearing house association.

BAD BREAK IN COPPER
Follows Announcement of Chicago
Failures in Boston.


Boston, Dee 1S.-Tne First National
bank here. the correspondent of the
Chicago National bank. stated that the
Chicago National had a balance here of
over $500 900. There was little active
business between the Boston and Chi
cago banks.
The announcement of the Chicago bank
failures was followed by a bad break in
copper prices shortly after the opening
of the Boston stock exchange today,
but the market rallied on the assurance
that the Chicago suspensions would not
be dangerous. The greatest declines
were in those coppers which had seen
recently the most remarkable advances.
North Butte fell away 10 points to 1854
from Saturdays closing. United Copper
declined 1917 to "a. Copper range was
off 81 to IS. The sharp decline was
followed by a heavy unloading but the
quick setting in of the rally forced the
current Of prices up again. By II o'clock
United Copper had regained points,
Copper Range IL and North Butte 5A
The general market was neglected in
this movement in which Copper as a
whole suffered a fall of from 1 to g
points. All shared in the rally however.

SHOCK 70 WALL STREET.
Market Conditions Were PanicIzy a
While on the Exchange.

New York, Dec. 1S.-The news Of the
Insolvency of important Chicago trading
institutions came with a great shock to
Wall street this morning and convulsive
liquidation of stocks made wild work
with early quotations. Opinion before
the opening INDUCED a hope that the
effects would be moderate by the knowl-
edge of steps taken by the Chicago
clearing house banks to stand together
and insure depositors against loss. But
the opening of the market quickly dis
throwing over of holdings of certain
stocks for any price they would bring
The acuteness of the effect produced was
due to the very large extension of credits
known to exist in every direction and
the compare lively low state of bank re-
serves-a condition which has been look
ed upon with serenity so long as the
soundness of the credits had no shadow
on them. The position being a delicate

one the shock to the stock market was
severe. The persistent speculation which
has been conducted there has ignored all
the admonitions of high money rates
and all conservative warnings to caution
in operating. The speculative position
as a. consequence was found somewhat
over extended.
The news had not reached London in
time to affect prices of Americans great
~ there, although prices were lower
there in common with other securities
before this market opened.
The first sales Of Amalgamated Cop
per reported on the tape were of 1000
shares at simultaneous prices all the
way from 100 down to 931k, compared
with 101 for the final prices on Saturday.
OF Union Pacific there were 108, 600
shares sold at the opening at 1929 to
1411z compared with 1443s on Saturday.
In Brooklyn Transit the range of 1000
shares was from $50 to 851s, compared
with 90A on Saturday. Besides these ex-
IRENE cases there were losses all through
the list, ranging from to 8 points, St
Paul, Reading, New York Central, Lead
and others of the recent speculative
favorites being among the severest
losers.
There were some further pIunges dur
ing the first few minutes and then de-
termined supporting orders began to
make themselves felt The market was
enormously active during the greater
part of the first hour, but by that time
the liquidation had spent its force and
there were some wide recoveries. Anal
gamated Copper rallied to 991s and i'm
provements of 1 to ? points were quite
numerous.
The correspondents of the National
bank in this city include the First Ma
tional bank and the Phoenix National
bank. At the First National bank it
was said the Chicago bank had a large
count was regarded as among the very
best held by the local institutions. An
official of the Phoenix National bank
said that the Chicago National has a
credit balance with it of more than $780,
Co., Representatives of the Equitable
Trust company here were somewhat en-
barrassed at the failure of the Chicago
institutions on account of the names and
issued a statement to the effect that the
Equitable Trust Of New York has no
