STATE is AMPLY SECURED
Treasurer of Pennsylvania Talks of
Funds in Defunct Allegheny
Bank.

HARRISBURG. Pa. Oct. Estate Treas
urer Matthew's was at his Office today for
the first time since the failure of the
Enterprise National bank of Allegheny, In
which more than 81 100000 of public funds
were deposited. He said that at the time
of the failure there was $1,O30,OO0 of state
money in the bank, OF which 1892 900 be-
longed to the general fund and the bal
ance to the sinking fund.
Asked about the report that security
which had been furnished by the bank to
protect the state from any loss in case of
failure was worthless, Mr.. Matthew's said
he had every reason to believe that the
state was amply protected. He also said
that these bonds would more than cover
the amount of the states deposit and that
he was not giving himself any concern
about this feature of the case
A receiver was appointed this afternoon
for the National Gable and Wire company,
corporation of which the late T. Lee
CLARK, cashier of the Enterprise bank, was
president. J. II. Hunter was named as
receiver and preliminary injunction was
granted by the court restraining the COM
pany from disposing OF or Numbering
the assets in favor of any particular cTedi-
tor. The company is capitalized at $4,000,
half OF which is preferred stock. None OF
the common stock has been issued, but
$751; 400 worth of the preferred stock has
been sold and is now outstanding.

HEARING ON OIL COMPANY
Commissioners PrOuty and Fifer Pre-
pare Matter TO BE sent to
President.

70 CLEVELAND, o., Oct 23.-Commission-
ers Prouty and Fifer of the Interstate Com
merce commission began a hearing here
today in connection with the complaint
Of unjust discrimination in rates filed by
w. e. Wall, president of the Fred Clark
Oil company, against the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad company.
The Clark OH company is said to be the
largest producers of lubricatng oil in ex-
istence outside of the Standard Oil COM
pany. The complaint was filed several
months ago and the burden of It is that
it is impossible for the oil company to Sc
cure through rates to New England points
on any products which come into competi-
ton with the Standard Oil company. The
contention Of the railroad company is that
1t could not grant rates because of the
combustible nature of the oil company's
products To Offset this allegation the
oil company introduced an analytical
chemist at the hearing today and he tes-
tilted that the products in question were
not as combustble as vegetable and lard
oil products, on which through rates were
obtained without difficulty. President Wall
made a statement setting forth the oil
companys tables in detail. He stated that
the company's vegetable and lard oil
products did not compete with the Standard
company.
Il is understood that the findings of the
commission in this case are to be for
warded to President Roosevelt who may
use the data in connection with his forth
coming annual message to congress.

their idle money in the cattle business II
II had any assurance Of stability. A lawyer
or doctor who desired to 60 into this busi-
ness would have an opportunity. He could
buy four-section tract for himself, he
could employ a man to go and take care
OF his stock. who with his wages could also
buy a four-section tract for himself and
earn the money to pay for his land and
stock his land in wages. Many banks are
anxious to make cattle loans to permit per-
sons to buy cattle
Here is the greatest opportunity for capi-
tai and labor to work together that exists
In the state. The men who have money will
as a rule refuse TO bear the hardships at
tendant upon going into the cattle business.
The men who come here and take a home
stead. who have no money to stock their
land might as well go to Jericho. They are
compelled to work out TO earn money to
live on. They meet with reverses and find
themselves unable to MAKE a living on The
homestead. and many, very many, good
men have TO abandon their claims after
having spent what little money they had
saved up in trying to stay on their claims.
II capital is given a chance to go along
with labor they can work together In this
country and both make money but under
the present practice there is little induce
ment to take money out Of a bank and in
vest in the cattle business in Nebraska.

No man can mingle with these pioneers
and think they are bad people. 1t is only
the practice Of settling the country that Is
wrong and the unsatisfactory and unset
tied conditions in this part OF the state may
be expected to continue IL the practice at
present in vogue lie not changed Under such
a law as is proposed here the number
of persons who would invest money in this
locality who would not come here 10
live would likely be equalled by the num-
Der who have no money to invest but would
be willing to come here to live IL assured
they could become independent by meeting
the hardships.
