BIG FAILURE ON CHANGE
WATSON & CO., GRAIN AND
STOCKS, FORCED TO WALL.
Firm Has Offices in Western Cities
and Several Members Are
Minneapolis Men.

New York, Sept. 6.-The failure of
Watson & Co., members Of the
New York Stock and Produce ex-
changes and of the Chicago board of
trade, was announced in those ex-
changes Thursday. No cause was as
signed for the failure nor was any
estimate of the liabilities and assets
made public.
The firm has had extensive connec-
lions in the west, maintaining offices
in Duluth, Minneapolis, Fargo and
Winnipeg. It is said to have carried
on one of the biggest grain broker
age businesses in the country besides
trading actively in railroad stocks,
particularly those of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads.
W. Frank Newell, manager of the
firms New York office. was named as
assignee. The doors Of the office in
Broad street were closed after the an
nouncement of the failure. Herber B.
Shoemaker, counsel for the assignee,
said that expert accountants had been
put to work on the books and that
a statement of the financial condition
of the firm would soon be issued. He
said also that the banks holding Wat
son & Co.'s loans have shown a dis
position to give the firm an opportuni-
ty to extricate itself from its diff
culties. The members of the firm are
Louis T. Watson, Henry P. Watson,
Charles E. Anderson and Herschel V.
Jones. Louis T. Watson is the only
member of the firm residing in this
city, the others being residents of Min
neapolis.
Announcement Of the failure on the
stock exchange had been discounted
by the traders, many of whom had a
warning of it and had sold or made
contracts to sell stocks in anticipa-
ton of a decline. This was said to be
the aus of the weakness of the mar
ket during the morning. The effect
of the failure having been discounted
before it was announced, prices adj
vanced as soon as the news became
known, spectators for the decline be-
ing compelled to buy at higher prices
in order to fill their earlier contracts
to sell.
On the grain market there was a de-
cline of two cents per bushel upon the
announcement of the failure, but this
was recovered later in the day.

Wanton Slaughter of Game.

Kill! Kill! Kill! The word is on
every tongue from the time the big
game season opens in the far west
until it closes, two months later.
Every mans hand seems to be against
the wild things of the mountains-the
harmless wild things which lend to
the forest half it's charm. If it were
the aim of the people to exterminate
the deer, elk and mountain sheep they
could not kill with more avidity. The
question Of skill does not enter into
it. If an elk Is close enough to SINCE
his hair with the powder, no matter,
kill him! If the pack horses are al
ready loaded to the limit, if not a
pound of the meat is to be touched, If
the head is worthless as a trophy and
the horns %valueless, no matter, kill
just the same. The law permits each
person his two elk, so take the limit!
If an animal is crippled, do not bother
to trail him, let him go; the wolves
will pull him down eventually, or he
will fall and starve-that elk with the
shattered shoulder or the deer with
the dragging hind leg. What does it
matter to you if, a comparatively few
years hence, the elk tracks and the
print OF the deer's pointed hoof are
gone forever, if the forests are de-
pleted and silent and a pair of antlers
has become a curiosity? You have
had your sport. And this, exclaims
Caroline Lockhart in Lippincott's, is
the way in which nine-tenths of the
people reason who hunt in the big
game season.. The real sportsman is
not a menace to the game; he is its
best friend, its protector. He is as
jealous of it as though it were his own
property, and he has a clearly defined
code of honor in regard to the killing
Of it. But real sportsmen are rare in
the big-game country.

formerly Of Cincinnati.
It is reported that the receivership
is a plan of the creditors of E. L. Har.
per to COY his assets. Obligations
aggregating several million dollars
are held by Cincinnati and Chicago
bankers against Harper, as a result of
the failure of the Fidelity bank of Gin
cinnati about 20 years ago. Harper,
it was alleged, wrecked this institu'
ton in an attempt to corner the wheat
market. For this he was sentenced
to eight years in the Ohio peniten.
tiary and shortly after his release he
merged a number of furnaces and
steel plants into the Union Steel and
Chain company, of which he has since
been president, and of which the Union
Iron and. Steel company is subsidiary.
Failed to Go Into Bankruptcy.
About 18 months ago Harper filed q
voluntary petition in bankruptcy in
the United States court here, but his
right to release from the old obliga.
lions was successfully contested by
his creditors, headed by the banking
firm Of Edwin Green & Co., of Chica-
go. In the hearing before the referee
he contended that he was insolvent,
though he failed to establish his in
solvency, and was not discharged. The
hearing disclosed the fact that he was
receiving a large salary as president
of the steel and iron corporations.
Edward L. Harper, Jr., general man.

transfer of the business to the receiv-

Is said to be hurrying to Virginia with
a view to adjusting the matter and Sc.

The temporary financial embarrass.

partly attributed to the death of

Rare Pilgrim Fish CAUGHT.

Another Breton fishing town-Con-
carneau-has had a novel experience
of it's OWL One of it's trawl boats,
the Saint Louis, has just returned to
port, not with the heavy cargo of sar-
dimes that ali the good folk so much
desired, but with a catch of an entirely
unWonted and unwelcome kind.
This took the form of a monster fish
measuring not less than rs feet in
length. The fish is one of the "pil-
grim" kind, and is associated with the
shark family, though said to be less fe.
rocious than the ordinary shark. AS
tie monster is very rarely seen, but
little that is definite is known of him.

early today for Chicago. where they
will appear tomorrow before Judge

swer to subpoenas requiring them to
give testimony in the Standard Oil
company cases now on trial there.
This information was given out Of
ficially today by M. l.. Elliott general
counsel for the Standard Oil COM
pany. United States Marshal Henkel
had in his possession subpoena for
VIM. Rockefeller, but was unable to
secure service on him. 1t was re-
ported that he was in various places,
but Marshal Henkel was unable to To-
cate him. According to Mr.. ElliOtt's
statement, Mr.. Rockefeller decided,
as soon as he heard that there was a
subpoena out for him, to go to Chi
cago without waiting for service.
H. II. Rogers, for whom a sub
poena has also been issued returned
today from Europe on the Atlantic,
but Marshal Henkel had already re-
turned the subpoena to Chicago, with
the information that Mr.. Rogers was
not in his jurisdiction. AS soon as

turned, Marshal Henkel telephoned
Starr J. Murphy, John ID. ROckefel-

notify Mr.. Rogers that he was want
ed in Chicago. Mr.. Murphy said
that he had no information that Mr.

subpoena calls for the presence of
the witnesses at 10 o'clock tomorrow

EXTRAVAGANCE IN THE
AMOUNT OF COAL USED

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The gov
ernment, through the United States
geological survey, is planning with
the producers of coal to place far in
the distance the day when the coun-
try's supply of coal shall be ex-
hausted.
The extravaganza in the amount of
coal wasted has had the effect of re-
This, at least, is the opinion of Ed
ward Parker of the geological sur
vey.
'One of the greatest problems to
overcome in the production of coal,
said Parker, sis the reduction in the
waste in mining Only a year ago
but 40 per cent of the coal in mine
was marketed 60 per cent was lost
Cheap mining methods caused this
waste. Under improved methods the
waste has now been reduced to from
80 to 40 per cent.
when do you expect the stock of
hard coal to disappear" was asked.
We'll, | figure that the maximum
of production has now been reached,
and it all depends on the decreasing
ratio of production. The yearly pro-
duction now averages 65,O00,00O
long tons. The biggest production
was in 1905, when it reached 3d.
100000 tons. 1t may be possible

IF we continue to take out coal at
the present rate the supply may last
for rs or 80 years; but as the pro-
duction will no doubt gradually de-
cline, we will be burning anthracite
for the next 200 years. trsf

figure that at the present rate of
production the supply will not be ex-
hausted within 1000 to 5000 years.
But ii the increase in production

A Break i'm Wheat,

CHICAGO, July 5-The break in
wheat occurred during the final half
hour of the trading and was partly
due to selling caused by report of
st. Louis trade pournal, giving a
bearish estimate on the amount of
wheat that will be harvested in sew
eral of the winter wheat states.
Prior to the appearance of this re-
port. sentiment in the pit had been
bullish and prices had ranged con-
siderably above the close of We'd
nesday. Higher prices at Liverpool,
small shipments from Argentine and
continued wet weather in France and
England were the main reasons for
the strength. Weather conditions in
this country were generally favorable
to the crop The market closed weak
at bottom prices. September opened

declined to 56 5-8c, where it closed.

SCOTTY STILL
HOLDS FORTH IN
THE LIMELIGHT
Automobile Trip Proved Unequal to
the Death Valley Sands-It Will
BE Mules This Time.

Walter Scott arrived in town last
evening, preparatory to departing for
Death Valley, says the Goldfield
Chronicle This time Scotty is sure
of success, for he has Jim Titus out
rounding up his six sturdy mules.
He declares that his mules won't
buck when it comes to sand, even
pyramids of sand, and he will reveal
some of the secrets of Death Valley.
Scotty asserts that no blame at
taches to the chauffeurs who made
the attempt to get through the val
ley, for he realizes now that it is i'm
possible to force heavily laden cars
through such trackless wastes. The
bill for auto hire was considerable,
and Scotty paid it without murmur,
despite the failure of the first expedi-
ton. Arch HoXsey, who drove the
60-horse power Thomas in which
Scotty rode, demonstrated his abil-
ity beyond question and l.. A. Vidy,
the driver of the three-seated Pope
Toledo, proved the stability of that
car.
Scotty does not know just when
Jim will have the mules rounded
up but as soon as he does he's off
to the mysterious mine.
