New York, Feb. 19-The trial of
Bertha Clayche, a 22-year-old French
girl, on the charge of shooting and
killing Emil Gerdron on the night of
July 8, last, was scheduled to begin to-
day in the court of general sessions.
The case is an unusually pathetic one
and an element of mystery is attached
to it.
Bertha Clayche claims that Gerdron,
who was a young giant standing over
six feet tall and weighing nearly $50
pounds, had made her his slave for
six years, during which time she said

er Golf in general sessions today the
hearing of witnesses was begun in the

thirty witnesses are to be heard.

known physicians and pathologists In

death could not have been caused by
chloroform. The prospect is that the
hearing will last many days and that
the outcome will decide the fate, once
for all, of the man who has fought OF
death for five years under circum-
stances that seemed all but hopeless.
Patrick's lawyers will ask for the
lostponement of the final decision on

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, October G.-The Financier
says this week: Unexpectedly, because all
the indications seemed to point to a ma
terial increase in the cash holdings Of the
banks, the official statement Of the New
York institutions last week shows an i'm
portant decrease in this item. The trace
able movements of money appeared I'M
mistakably to show large increases in cash
as the result of treasury operations and
gold imports. which gains were only par
TALLY offset through the net loss to the
interior. The majority of the estimates
encouraged the belief that the official state
ment would show gain Of about IS OO0,-
Geo cash; the bank return, however, indi-
Gated loss of 81, 797,3O0.
1t seems quite possible that the DISPOSE
ton which was made of the new public
deposits that were effected with the local
banks during the week may partly account
for the discrepancy between the above
noted estimated gain and the actual loss in
cash, Nhe government deposits indica ting
an increase Of three and three-eighths mil

Women and Business.
l the Philadelphia Ledger.


Whenever man with wife and family
becomes a criminal he inflicts cruel suffering
upon the innocent. These silent sufferers
deserve the deepest sympathy. The misery
they endure cannot be appreciated by those
who have never passed through such har-
rowing experience. 1t is lamentable that SO
few men observe the rule which Tacitus
says was observed by the old Germans, I'm
all important matters they consult their
women" The blasting of many a mans
reputation, once fair and unspotted, might
have been prevented If he had made a con-
fdant Of his wife In his business affairs.
Defalcations, embezzlements. betrayals Of
trust and other criminal acts committed in
the feverish haste to get rich quickly in
many Instances would not have been en-
gagged in If the wife had been consulted
before the first wrongful or doubtful step
had been taken.
Most women have swift intuitions in mat
tiers into which the moral law enters. Few
of them are skilled in finance yet the foun-
dation of the financial success of very many
men lies in the prudent counsel and man
agement of the wife. Numbers Of our most
successful business men owe their eood
fortune largely to the encouraging or re-
straining advice of their wives In all i'm
portant crises In their lives. AS one of the
chief sufferers when false or imprudent
step is taken by the husband. the wlfe Is
entitled to take the place of counselor and
guide whenever such aid Is needed.
It is not to be assumed that all women
are to be trusted on the moral side in finan-
cial matters. The cases of Nine. Humbert
in France and Of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick In
America are instances of the alterations OF
women which fairly rival the rascalities OF
mon in crooked finance: but they are start
ling exceptions. Women are not exposed to
the same temptations to go wrong as men
are in fiduciary positions The mechanism
of business is chiefly under the control OF
men. but it goes to the credit of our bust
ness women that their departures from the
straight path are exceedingly few relatively
to the number of women employed in busi-
ness capacity.

Financial News Letter
By w. g. Nicholas.

NEW YORK, October 6.-The stock mar
ket situation has been very greatly
strengthened by the near disappearance
of two disturbing features-the Hearst
scare and fear Of grippingly tight money
through the fall and winter months. Both
may reappear, but for the time being at
least they are in state of virtual eclipse.
Wall street Is possessed of the conviction
that Mr.. Hearst destroyed whatever chance
he had when he became party to that
unspeakable Buffalo deal-committed po-
ntical hari kari, as 1t were, and that he
can safely be dismissed from calculations
as a market handicap. And so far as the
tendencies are revealed by contact with
the masses of voters the facts seem to
justify the estimate. for it is undeniably
true that the elbow-to-elbow Hearst en-
thusiasm noticeable in the mayoralty cam
paign a year ago is lacking In quarters
where 1t was expected to be strongest.
The groundswell signs so easily read by
experienced observers are not in evidence
fact. The Buffalo trade has knocked the
idealized Hearst from his pedestal into the
ditch. and he Is no longer the idol of the
downtrodden." This Is mentioned because
1t is distinctly a market factor and is so
recognized. The betting odds of to on
Hughes does not nearly express the Wall
street certainty as to the result at the
polls.

ON 'CHANGE

Another uneventful week has been added
to the history of the stock exchange as we'll
as of the local financial world. Exactly why
there should have been no active business is
a question for which no one seems to have
a very definite answer. There are indica-
tons Of revival of interest, but they are
not very pronounced The general conol-
tons here are looked upon as favorable for
a good deal of activity, as it Is thought
there is large amount Of money awaiting
investment and the opportunities of that
sort which are presented by the local stock
list are regarded as likely to attract share
of the attention of those who control the
funds.
Investment buying has been a feature in
a moderate way of the dealing on the mar
ket for several weeks past, and it is looked
upon as highly probable that this will be
added to as the months go on. There is. of
course. the speculative element that Is pres
emit in the market, especially at a time of
activity, which serves to increase the vol
ume Of the trading.
AS far as is now known, there are no new
favorites to come into the list of the more
active securities. The railway STOCKS, gas
stock, Mergenthaler and Lanston and the
copper stocks are those that regularly seem
to absorb the attention of buyers. Occasion
ally a bank stock looms into prominence,
owing TO some contemplated CHdHSe LII tHe
organization or capitalization, and then
again there is something going on In con-
nection with the trust company stocks
The Ast of fire insurance company stocks,
which, of course. includes the securities of
the local companies. only occasionally at
tracts more than passing attention, and
while there are some elements in the pres
ent situation that point to the return of one
of those periodical movements affecting the
list either in whole or in part, still it is by
no means certain.
The general money condition is mending,
and, Of course. that has its influence on the
tone of that section of the market which is
represented by the local financial institu-
TONS AS a rule most Of the funds used in
handling purchases on the local exchange
comes from the home institutions. although
there are instances where brokers make ar
rangements to get money elsewhere
The funds available for loans on the part
Of financial institutions now larger in
amount than ever before in the history of
the city. While the banking resources have
grown. as everything else has connected
with the city's activities, the demand for
money has also increased, SO that there is
no lack Of use for the available supply.

AS for money, the proved ease with which
gold can be brought from the other side
and the demonstrated purpose of Secretary
Shaw to keep surplus treasury funds where
they can be of use instead Of locking them
in the vaults have set at rest fears for the
near future. There will be employment for
every available dollar, and borrowers will
willingly pay good prices for the cash and
credit, but there will be enough to go
around, with something over for specula
ton. That verdict having been reached by
the trading public, more genuine interest
Is being taken in stocks than for many
weeks. The market has perceptibly broad
ened and operations are extending over a
wider range of securities. Preference is
being more generally shown for the low
priced issues, and commission merchants
and brokers are encouraging the develop
ment. Many Of the stocks which have
held front place on the stage getting
into the fancy class and must make
way for things in which people can trade
without the necessity of Rockefeller bank
account. The drift is toward the low
priced shares-Erie. Rock Island. Southern
Railway. Steel common, Texas Pacific and
others of that class.
