Mr. Roosevelt recently. gave to the

the nomination. an announcement
which he made on election night in

BIG LOSS IN RESERVE.
Largest Deficit Shown Since 1908 by
New York Banks.

New York, Nov 4.-The second
week of Wall streets furry closed
with practically no new developments.
Stocks were comparatively steady,
runs on banking institutions had
reached the "petering out" stage, and
few conferences of bankers were held
to discuss the situation.
The weekly bank statement issued
by the Clearing House association
showed a deficit in the reserve of
3S,S3S,S25-the largest since 1893.
AT the same time loans showed an
increase of $60,741,60O, representing

POISON SUSPECTED.
Mystery Surrounds the Death of WAL
ter HI. Baker.

New York, Nov. 4.-Relatives and
close friends of Walter H Baker, the
wealthy Boston man who died a week
ago Saturday night at the home of a
friend at Bogota, N. J., a few hours
after he had declared in Broadway
/ chop house that he had been
poisoned think that he may indeed
have been the victim of foul play.
They have heard that scheming per-
sons obtained control or a large part
of his fortune, estimated at from
$4,000. to 100000 a few weeks pre-
vious to his death and they cannot find
will, which Baker is said to have
made two months ago, or learn to
whom he conveyed his money as re-
ported. That Baker was. poisoned is
doubted by lawyers in charge of the
investigation, but they are having the
viscera examined by chemists who are
expected to report in a day or two.
Bakers lawyers cannot account for
his whereabouts during the two hours
preceding his disappearance at the
chop house. nor can they find out who
his companions were.
Frank N. Nay, Boston lawyer,
who is trustee of the estate in which
Baker had an interest: H. r. Morse,
another lawyer, and Dr. Sheridan
Gibbons also of Boston. an executor
of the will of Bakers mother are here
and they have questioned persons
supposed to know something about
the case.
Mr. Nay says that he and his fellow
investigators have learned nothing
Bogota to talk with the doctors who
attended Baker at his death, and with
the friends at the house where he
died.

about 8 O'Clock and was instrumental
in turning in the alarm. H. G. Brooks,
one of the proprietors of the iron
works, stated that he believed that
sparks from passing Santa Fe loco

ever, denies that any locomotive had
been about for some time and thinks
that the fire originated from a cupola
in which the iron is melted at the
works.
