Lawson,s Wasted Coup.

If "Tom Lawson" were not so utterly
diseredlted his attack upon the i. A.
Henze copper properties in the latest
issue of his magazine might have created
a profound sensation. The disclosure sut-
fered the further misfortune of being
over-shadowed by the all absorbing nor
rors of the California earthquake. The
crux of IIawson's story is that In his
campaign for the distribution of United
Copper, United Securities company, La
France and other stocks, Helnze sue
ceeded in loading vast amount OF his
securities upon banks of eastern Ohio,
western Pennsylvania and New England.
He specifically names Pittsburg, Cleve-
land and Boston as carrying enormous
amounts of these stocks as collateral
security for loans, the accusation being
made that banks we're eajoled into loan
ing more than the certificates are worth.
He saws in so many words that TINS
chain of banks has been stuck with a
formidable mass Of unstable securities
and that II forced to realize great loss
would be shown 1t is understood that
Lawson attempted to force the Federal
and state banking authorities to look
into this matter prior to his publication.
If they yielded to his opportunities in
the matter the public is not advised
of the fact.

Some OF the gaily caparisoned pools
and cliaues lghtened their lines on the
break and the position OF the market is
greatly strengthened in consequence The
tremendous commitments of two or three
of these combinations had become mem

relief in the knowledge that they had to
shorten sail and scale down their bold
ings to safe limits. Conspicuous individ-
ual 'plungers had similar experience. They
saw huge paper profits vanish into thin
air and run into losses. While the mar
ket was going their way they found
great enjoyment in buying tens of thou
