TRUST companies
TO BE SUPPORTED
MORGAN AND OTHERS DECIDE TO
AID TWO INSTITUTIONS
OF NEW YORK.
Stocks Moving Upward Turn in
Financial Crisis Seems to Be
Reached-Three Small Banks in
Kansas Are Compelled to Close.

New York, Nov. 5.-The buoyancy
of the stock market Monday reflected
the ultimate decision of large bankers
to support the two institutions-the
Trust Company of America and the
Lincoln Trust company-which have
been subjected to the most severe
runs during the last two weeks.
The day was one of doubt and con-
fiicting rumors, and the fact that it
passed without an adverse develop
ment is evidence that the worst of the
situation is probably over. At late
hour in the morning an agreement
was reached, largely through the in
fiuence of Mr.. Morgan, by which the
trust companies will cooperate in fu-
ture for their mutual protection and
the directors will lend the assistance
of their personal fortunes to meet i'm
mediate necessities.
Turn in the Crisis Reached.
The achievement Of these results,
with the steady upward movement of
the stock market till near the close, is
believed to mark the turn of the
crisis. The loss of $3O,00O,000 in cash
by the clearing house banks, accord
ing to their Saturday showing, in spite
of 100000 which had been poured
into their tills during the week from
the treasury, was expected to have a
disturbing effect. 1t was a worse
showing than will be possible again
in the face of the heavy arrivals of
gold. Gold engagements since the be-
ginning Of the present movement now
amount to $32,000,O0O, which would
more than bridge the loss in surplus
reserve last week.
The disturbances which are sweep
ing over the exchange market and
arousing concern in foreign markets
were indicated by the rise of foreign
exchange in New York considerably
above the point at which gold could
be imported profitably. The fact that
1t Is still coming this way indicates
the determination of New York bank
ers to strengthen their position even
at loss. The high rate for bills was
caused by the demand for exchange
to cover the arrivals of gold.
The executive committee of the
Merchants association Monday passed
formal resolutions in which confidence
in the financial institutions of the city
was expressed.
Three Kansas Banks Close.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 5.-Bank Com
missioner J. w. Royce announced
Monday that three Kansas banks had
been forced to close their doors, ow-
ing to the failure of the Bankers
Trust company of Kansas City, Mo-,
on October %. The banks are the
Coyville State bank, Coyville; the
Garland State bank, Garland, and the
Citizens State bank, of Mulberry, all
small institutions. They had depos-
its with the Bankers Trust company

CAFFEREY POSTS SANDERS
POLITICAL SITUATION IN LOUIS.
lana is DRAMATIC.
Lieutenant Governors Friends Refuse
to Let Him Fight with Son
of Former Senator.

New Orleans, Nov. 4.-The firm
reply of Lieut.. Gov. j. Y. Sanders Sun
day to what has been universally &C.
copied as a challenge for duel by
Donelson Cafferey, son of the late
United States Senator Donelson CAT
ferey, has created dramatic political
situation in Louisiana.
Another matter, entirely foreign to
the personal combat, increases the
tension. The practically rival procla-
nations of the lieutenant governor
and of Gov. Blanchard of the coming
extra session of the legislature were
brought face to face by the governors
arrival here Sunday from the east.
Early Sunday morning, in close con-
formity to the code of honor, Mr..
Sanders issued a written reply to the
statements of Mr.. Cafferey. This
statement declared that the lieutenant
governor holds himself personally re-
sponsible for the utterances which
caused the trouble, and adds:
Il am prepared to meet that re-
sponsibility and Mr.. Cafferey knows
where to find me-"
Preceding this statement two rep
resentatives of each man in the dis
pute had held conferences and Mr..
Sanders friends had declared firmly
they would not accept challenge in
accordance with the duelling code be-
cause the lieutenant governor could
not violate the statute law making
duelling a crime.
Next followed the posting" of sew
eral sections of the state by Mr.. CAT
ferey with hand bills stating that sat-
isfaction had been refused him by Mr..
Sanders. These hand bills declared
that the lieutenant governor had
called some of Mr.. Cafferey's state
ments untrue.
The discretion of both the lieuten-
ant governor and Mr.. Cafferey is re-
lied on to prevent personal encoun-
ter There are fears, however, that
friends of the disputants may be
drawn into a serious quarrel
