NEW YORK BANKERS
Critic Says They Should Have Crop
Money! Ready.

PITTSBURG, September TN the clos
ing hours of the convention of the State
Bankers Association last evening DR.. Ed
win F. Meade, director of the evening
school of accounts and finances of the Uni
versty Of Pennsylvania, made an attack
on New York banks and banking. Depart
ing from a subject to which he had been
assigned, DR.. Meade devoted two hours to
speaking on The Place of New York City
in Currency Reform" In part Dr. Meade
said:
The New York banks, although they
know they will be called upon to furnish
cash for crop moving, make no adequate
effort to prepare for this demand. In spite
of the fact that the deposits of the country
banks in New York usually approximate
the reserve Of the New York banks, these
funds are loaned out to the limit, and the
surplus reserve over the % per cent re-
quirement Is reduced to the narrowest, be-
cause the most probable, margin. When
therefore, the damand for currency comes
1t finds insufficient funds available for its
satisfaction, and loans must be called and
interest rates advanced until serious finan-
cial disaster often threatens. This stua-
ton is evil and a nuisance. All are
agreed that 1t should be abolished before
1t some day develops into financial panic
The responsibility for this situation must
be placed at the doors of the national banks
of New York city. These institutions, al
though they know that the demand for
cash will come IN August and September
are unwilling to prepare for the demand
by curtailing credit during the rest of the
year and accommodating margin of sur
plus cash to be drawn upon during the fall
There can be no escape from this con-
clusion.
DR.. Meade said that the policy of making
the secretary of the treasury the guardian
OF the New York money market is cum
bersome. and liable to serious blunder and
even grave suspicion of improper influence

to speed past a sightseeing automobile near
the Manhattan end of the Williamsburg
bridge yesterday afternoon a touring car,
containing two men and two women, side
wiped the sightseeing automobile and drove
il into the iron railing of the bridge. The
jar threw several of the sightseers from the
top of the automobile and injured William
DALEY of 12S West 4Ith street so severely
that he was taken to Gouverneur Hospital.
About four lengths of the iron railing of
the bridge fell down into Columbia street
among a crowd of pushcart peddlers and
caused a stampede among them, but no one
was hurt. After the crash the touring car
went on it's way rapidly, with one fattened
tire. The sightseeing automobile was put
out of commission.

NEGRO ATTEMPTS ASSAULT
ATTACKS A LITTLE GIRL NEAR
BELAIR, MD.
Child Badly Frightened - Criminal
Escapes When Almost in the
Clutches of an Officer.

BELAIR, Nd, September An at
tempted assault upon little Hannah Price.
the twelve-year-o daughter of Jesse Price,
by a negro on last Wednesday afternoon
came to light here last night. An unfortu-
nate feature in connection with the case
is that the negro made his escape while
practically in the clutches of an officer.
The crime is the first of the kind that
has been perpetrated in the county in many
years, and the feeling in the immediate
eighborhood of where the affair occurred
is running high. 1t is feared that in case
the negro is caught he will be summarily
dealt with.
The attempted assault occurred at Lapi-
dunn, a village about ten miles from Belair,
and not far from the girls home.
The negro charged with the Offense is
Harry Lewis, who lives with his wife in
the village, and it was in his house that it
took place. The little girl was sent on an
errand to a nearby store at about o'clock
in the afternoon and while passing the ne
gros home Lewis came out and began talk
ing to her. After listening to him for a
few minutes and then starting on her way,
1t is claimed. the negro took hold of her and
pulled her into his house. The girl screamed
as loudly as she could, which frightened
the negro and caused him to release her
Before allowing her to go, however, he
made her promise not to make known what
had happened saying he would kill her if
she did SO.
Escaped From the Crowd.
In frightened and weakened condition
she returned to her home and told her
mother what had occurred. The latter con-
trolled her feelings and hesitated to relate
the incident to her husband, fearing he
would kill the. negro. He was told the facts
yesterday and he promptly set about to
capture him. He was located at his house
last night Mr.. Price listened to his friends
to allow officer to come and take him.
While he and several others watched the
sheriff here. Deputy Sheriff Worthington
encd and when he appeared at the door
wanted he professed ignorance of every
thing, and when he inquired as to why he
was under arrest the crowd yelled:
You know - we'll why we want you"
He expressed Willingness to accompany
the officer but first wanted to don his
clothes. He retreated upstairs followed
by the officer, and while supposed to be
dressing in the darkened room suddenly
made flying leap from a nearby window,
and before he could be stopped had jumped
to the ground and made a dash for the
nearby woods.
search was made for him, but with
out success. and the hunt was given up I'M
til today. At a late hour he had not been
captured and persons intend to watch the
house closely tonight in case he should re-
turn.

BO|LERMAKERS AT
 (. ]. SHELTER OUT
Seven Union Men Called Out at Doug las on Telegram from Union Head quarters-Caused by Differences Be tween Southwestern and Union.

The union boilermakers of the Cop
 per Queen reduction works were or
 dered out yesterday by wire from
 the president of the organization in
 Kansas City. A Dispatch representa- tive found some of the men who had quit work at the order of the president of the boilermakers union and asked for the reason of this act on the part of the union, says the Douglas Dispatch.
 One of the boys who had learned his trade here at the Copper Queen state that he did not know what the reason was, but that he understood it was on account of the Southwestern railroad
 We had trouble with the road when the Alamogordo difference arose about year ago. Every union boilermaker all along the line was replaced by non union men.
 Another one of the men who quit work yesterday stated emphatically that it was in no way connected with the Bisbee strike.
 ''We are called out on account of the difference between the railroad and the boilermakers. The Copper Queen company owns the railroad and as we are working for the company we are considered to be working for the rail road. Hence, the cause of the telegram ordering us out. Of course, it will make no difference to the company that we have, as we were the only union boilermakers working for the entire company and six or seven men can be easly replaced. We dislike to leave the Copper Queen company, as we have always been well paid and are entirely satisfied in every particular. We receive good wages, better than we expect to get elsewhere, and it is by no desire of ours that we leave the Copper Queen company. The order comes to us as surprise and we were not expecting it. But we belong to the union and we have either to throw up our jobs or our cards and we prefer the former We go to Fl Paso and get in. structions there /"
 The boys left last night. It was earned last night that there was no inconvenience experienced by the drop ping out of the few men who quit here IS there were more applications than 'ould be filed. This matter seems to nave been under consideration for some lime by the boilermakers union at its headquarters to the knowledge of the

THE OPERA BoUFFE OF IT

At Des Moines some days ago Mir
 Bryan recalled and cancelled the com mendation he had so frequently given Mr. Roosevelt, declaring that the presi- dent had gone too far on the road to reform to continue Republican and not far enough to become a Democrat. At the same time he affixed the seal of his approval on Robert M. La Toilette with the dictum that the senator from Wisconsin is the only genuine Democrat the Republican party can show, where upon Mir. La Toilette immediately came out for Mir. Roosevelt as his candidate for president in 1908. Then appeared Mir. John Temple Graves, who, face to face with the matchless" and the peerless" admonished Mir. Bryan that there Is nothing for him to do but to enter the Democratic national eonven- tion next year and join the enthusiastic, the unanimous, the delirious nomination of NIT. Roosevelt through that body.
 As yet there are folks who assert that America is a poor theme for opera bouffe. Mr. Graves was good enough to say that MT. Roosevelt has not yet reached that stage of exaltation in Dem oeraey that MT. Bryan has attained who hasi-but that Mir. Roosevelt is just as good Democrat as a Repub- hcan can get to be, and the only avail able man the ex-grand old Democratic party can name. Only last week Mr. Bryan again read all the Cleveland Democrats out of the party for aiding Mr. Mckinley in 1896. What he will do to MT. Graves for proposing Mir Roosevelt for 1908 remains to be seen. It is well understood that it is impossi- ble for anything to be Democratic that Mir. Bryan does not evolve out of his labyrinth of political vagaries, and that nobody can be Democrat whom MT. Bryan has not branded with his mark.
 But MT. Bryan is the idol of large following. There are millions of Demo. erats who would rather go to defeat with him than to victory with another, even though that other were Bryanite from the beginning. If MT. Bryan will take it, there is nothing more certain that that he will head the ticket la. beled Democratic in 1908. What thenf Who, other than Roosevelt, can beat him' It is equally plain that Mir. Roosevelt can get the Republican nom ination in 1908 without struggle Sun. pose Roosevelt shall conclude, suppose the Republican party shall conclude.
