STATE ST. HELD UP
Paving Plant Sidetracked at Springfield, But Expected
 Every Day Now.

They don't know when it's coming, but it's on it's way. That is about all the satisfaction the State street mer- chants can ge from the Warren Bros. Paving company as regards the secret process plant due here last Saturday. There will be no delay in finishing up the work, the contractors say, after this machinery arrives, as the laying of the three inch surface coat of asphalt which remains to be put on is all that pre- vents opening the road. This can be laid the entire distance, the city en- gineer declares, within a week, and each block opened up as soon as laid.
 Just when this plant, which left De- troit accompanied by the operator over ten days ago, will be delivered by the railroad company is matter of con- lecture. It Is sidetracl;ed for some uh- known reason at Springfield, Mass. In the meantime, State street remains with one side completely closed to travel for fifteen blocks, and the other badly con gested with traffic.

PARIS PAVING GOOD Colin Ingersoll After Study There Finds It Excels
 New York. ALSO IS MUCH CHEAPER Former New Haven Mans Result of Trip on Behalf
 of Metropolis.
ALSO IS MUCH CHEAPER

Colin H. Ingersoll at one time city engineer of New Haven and now in the city engineering department of the city of New York, who has been sent to Europe by that city to study the meth, ods of treating the paving question in the blglcapitals of Europe has just left Paris for London and in an interview given in Paris declares that Paris Is better paved than Is New York. He calls attention to the fact that this end is accomplished at an expense of thirty five to forty per cent less than that of New York's roads. And the streets he adds are kept in repair there.
 /, Speaking on the subject of cost he goes on to say that in Paris tke city looks carefully to the economy of the work to be undertaken, and instead of changing the contract as In New York when reasonable price cannot be se- cured, they arrange for the city to do the work itself. Paris, has a municipal machine that makes paving blocks at a small cost, while hero the city has to pay what the company which man ufactures sees fit to charge it. Mir. h. gersoll says that New York has sup ply of southern pine at hand which would allow 1t to make much better pavement than the French are capable of turning out
 The tendency in France. he declares, is against the tearing up of the streets all the time. They are after pavements that will last. While he declares him. self in favor of improvement, he does not believe. that the streets should al. ways be torn mp here for improvements to be brought out.

GREAT SLUMP IN
 YALE HOLDINGS Value of the Railroad Shares Said to Have Dropped Forty-Two Per
 Cent. DIFFERENCE IN
 MONEY $2, 600, 900 Directors of Financial Pol icy Look for Restor-
 ation of Conf
 dence.

Bv the recent slump in the stock market Yale's investments have sunk about $2,OOO,OOO in value, according to the statement of one of the city's financial men last night after looking through Treasurer McClung's report, which was issued recently and of which a review appears in another column.
 It has been the policy of those who had in charge the investment of Yale funds for long time to place them in railroad stocks and bonds and in standard industrials, and in the past few years this policy has been ad- hered to even more than formerly.
 Last June, up to when MT. Me Clung's report was made, the Yale holdings had already sunk about 4 1-2 per cent. in value. On June 30, 1906, a reasonable market valuation of the Yale holdings was s253,53S92 in ex- cess of the book valuation, while on June 30, 1907, the book value of the bonds and stocks aggregated $4,So9,- 895.02, and according to market prices then current their value was only about 34,225.60
 In September commenced the slumI which has continued ever since. Eacf time Roosevelt spoke the Yale hold Iings In. railroad and industrial stocks especially the former, dropped fev points and his latest address, in whicl he said he would not let up on tnl capitalists as long as they were crook ed, did not reassure the market t any great extent.
 It is roughly estimated that tn value of the Yale holdings has drop ped AZ per, cent in all, with loss o about $2,000,000 In the report 0 MT McClung the statement was mad that the drop did not affect the in come of Yale, but according to tn statement of the flnancier last nigh the great decrease in valuation of tn holdings will probably cause some de crease in the income.
 Yale will not sell any of the share at the present low state of the marke and those who have directed the in Nestment policy of the universit funds claim that with the restore confidence in the market, which the gay is sure to come, the stocks wi rise to the price at which they wer purchased ct least.
 Graduates about the city say that Us unfortunate that Mr. McClung's re port should have been issued at a tim of such a slump in the market.

oosrE1yous STATEMENT RocKHrz11uR TO FRONT
Passing of Such Day as Yesterday
 Evidehce of Strength.


 New York, oct. 2S.--secretary Cor telyou's official statement issued to- night is as follows:
 q have said to number of gentle men who called on me to-day that any statement to the public regarding con- ditions here should be made with the utmost frankness, that deposltors and others interested in banks might real ize that entire reliance might be placed upon 1t. Those familiar with the facts have known that the situation was made serious largely because of the cir culation of unfounded rumors, and the unreasoning anxiety of many who thought only for the moment.
 'oTo pass safely through such day as this, one of most unnecessary ex- citement as it has been, is the best evidence of strength and support on the part of those who have undertaken the difficult task of re-establlshing public confidence. Wherever there is weakness, and 1t has been in but a comparatively few instances, strong and able men are rendering aid; and in behalf of the treasury department may say that believe it my duty to do what can do, and I shah do in the largest way possible whatever may be necessary to afford relief. If the press of the city will continue its CO., operation, and if the public on it's part will reflect upon the real strength of our banking institutions there will be fast return of the confidence which this condition warrants.
 "As evidence of the treasury's posit- ion I have directed deposits in this city ! to the extent of $25,00O,00O !"
 Secretary Cortelyou, following the is- suance of the above statement, said that only the best collateral would be accepted for the money deposited.
 It is the secretary's intention to re- main here for several days and he will transact the business of the treasury department at the sub-treasury. MT Cortelyou said that the national banks were In very strong position and this morning many of them had on hand double the amount of their legal re- serves.
 Speaking of the treasury funds which at his direction were placed in the banks of Pittsburg to-day, the sec retary said that he had helped the sit nation in that city He took this ac- | tlon, he said, in order to meet the fur ther demands which will be made upor the Pittsburg banks next Saturday when the army of workmen employed in and about the city is paid off,

These three von Moltkes are nephews of the late great field marshal von Moltke.
 Harden began last November to as- sart that Count Zu Eulenburg was the head of a group at court that sought to influenece the emperor's political ac- tions by subtle, indirect suggestions Count zu Eulenburg, Court Kuno von Moltke and Lieutenant-Generall Count William von Hohenau, one of the em- peror's adjutants, were mentioned by Harden as members of the so-called camarilla, or Round Table" and he further alleged that they were spirit ualists and of abnormal temperament; and habits
 According to report the Crown Prince Frederick William made an inquiry in. to the charges in May, went to his ia; ther with the result of his investiga | ton, which caused Count zu Eulen burg, von Moltke and Lieutenant-Gen eral von Mohenau suddenly to resign.

 for Longest
 Flight. L'ISLE DE FRANCE A CLOSE SECOND May Be Winner After All -A maricans Finished Fourth, F fth and
 Eighth.

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 2S.-With every balloon racing record broken the sec ond international cup competition, which started from St. Louis on Mon day, ended to-day with the German balloon Pommtrn winning first prize for the longest flight. The finish of the race was So close, however, that the French contestant L'Isle de France, which descended at 1:10 o'clock this af- ternoon at Huberdville, N J., few miles from the Atlantic coast, may possibly be declared winner after of ficial measures are completed. The Pommern landed at o'clock this fore noon at Asbury Park, N. J., apparently a few miles further from St. Louis than Huberdville.
 Another German balloon, the Dussel- dorf, stands third In the race, Amer ican entries finished fourth, fifth and eighth, while third German team fin. ished sixth, another French team sev. enth. The one English balloon enter ed fell far short of the others. Tht Pommern was piloted by Oscar Orbs, loeh aided by H. H. Clayton, while AL fred Leblanc and Edward W. Mi1 sailed L'Isle de France.
 The unofficial estimated air line flight of the Pommern is SSO miles, Snd that of, L'Isle de France S75 miles. HhC Dusseldorf, third, landed near Dover Del It is estimated to have covtred 79O miles, The official measurements will be computed by the geological sur, vey of the United States government at Washington.
