WALL ST. SWEEPS UP.
Heinze Downfall Set the
Broom to Work-Monev
Kings Still Dazed.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The clearing
house today eliminated the Mercantile
National bank from the list OF distrib
uting agents in the financial situation
by insisting on the resignation of the
entire board OF directors.
This. following the resignation OF +.
Augustus Heinze from the presidency
Yesterday, makes a clean sweep OF the
old reSrime in the Mercantile National
and paves the way for the installation
of Controller W. B. Ridgely and di-
rectorate of his selection.
The drastic action of the clearing
house in the case Of the Mercantile Ma
tional both cleared and clouded the
puzzIing financial situation. Its reas-
surfing effect was offset by persistent
runnors to the effect that while the COM
mittee had thoroughly established the
solvency OF the Mercantile National,
! there had been a further discussion in
which the names of other banking IN
situations were involved.
The clearing house committee mini
mixed consequently fears by declaring
that the condition of the banks gen
orally was satisfactory, though thu
qualification was made that IN some
instances changes in the directorates o
other banks might be necessitated. /
was insisted there was nothing alarm
ing the local banking situation.
Conflicting Statements Confusing.
The situation was made all the NOR
confusing by conflicting statements b,
Charles W. Morse. a heavy stockholde
in the Mercantile and the controlling
power in a string of banks and in tn
Consolidated Steamship company, Con
troller Ridgely, and A. Augustus Heinze
Mr.. Morse declared emphatically yes

Mr.. Ridgely said that he had not &C

HUGHES NO CANDIDATE
Governor Says He is Not
Seeking the Presi-
Dental Honor.

New York. Oct. 1S.-Governor
Hughes tonight made a declaration OF
his attitude towards the presidential
nomination. when, in an address at a
dinner given in his honor by the re-
publican club. he said:
Il do not seek any public office. 1
have not sought, nor shall I seek, di-
rectly or indirectly. to influence the
selection or the vote of any delegate
to any convention. and with reference
to the election of any delegate to any
convention there will be no sugges-
ton or thought of influence, protest,
or reprisal in the executive chamber
1t was at this same club that Mr.
Hughes announced his acceptance Of
the gubernatorial nomination, and his
speech tonight was a review OF his
administration. particularly with refer
ence to the Legislation which had been
accomplished for the state control of
public service corporations and other
important measures with whose Gre
alton and support he has been identi-
fed.
Purpose of Administration.
Governor Hughes reminded his audi
ence that it was in an address under
the auspices of the republican club
after his election that he set forth
the principles which would govern his
administration, and said:
One of the fundamental purposes
Of the administration is to vindicate
the adequacy OF our institutions, to
put an end to abuses without tumuIt
or disorder. without injustice or dem
agogy, and in a patient. deliberate but
none the less vigorous manner to in
sist upon the recognition and enforce
ment of public rights.
"A difficult problem of first import
ance was presented in connection with
our public service corporations. 1t was
our object to remove this from the
field of reckless agitation and to pro-
vide to the fullest extent consistent
with constitutional requirements
methods OF investigation and redress
through which the public obligations
of reasonable. impartial. and adequate
service could be enforced, and public
safety and convenience be conserved
Means have been provided to prevent
the repitition of the wrongs which
! have been committed IN the past, and
il is believed that necessary publicity
will be secured, that the rights of In
vestors Will be safeguarded. and that
the public Will be protected from the
| reckless exploits of the unscrupulous
who hitherto have had their way with
out effective restraint.

Curse Of Indeclsion.

The man who is always asking ad-

Of indecision which the earnestly ex-
pressed opinions Of his friends and &C
quaintances only serve to aggraVate'

Shows a Model of Structure
Which He Says Will
Revolutionize Building.
REPAIRS OUT OF QUESTION
Concrete Poured Into Cast-Iron Mold
viii Settle Into Solid Mass
Cost $1,000.

New York. Oct. 1S.-In greeting the
members OF the American Electro
Chemical society and showing them
through his laboratories and manufac-
turing plants at Orange, n. J., Thomas
A. Edison made these statements to-
day:
Give Marconi ten years and he will
be sending over the Atlantic 1000
words a minute by wireless and will
be receiving a the same rate of speed.
The only limit to speed in sending
now is caused by the absorption Of
the electric waves by the wire or cable.
There is no such absorption in wireless
telegraphy."

He showed his visitors a big model
Of a three story house.

molds for the window castings. Next
summer 1 viii build just such a house
within twelve hours at an expense OF
$1,000, and the man who labors on it
will know that it was built on his
basis of wage-$1.50 a day.
What I am going to inaugurate,"
he said. rs this. I am going to fash
ion cast iron molds for the entire
house. This outfit will cost $4,000
for a house Of this design. All the
builders will have to do is to put it
up and pour in the concrete. Then
they will allow six days for settling
and drying and the family may move
in. The cast iron mold of that house
may be used on countless other build
| ings.
Value of New Method.
The economic value OF this rests, for
one instance, in that the house will
never be in need of repair. The rool
and floors will be of concrete; the
concrete will be made on the site; there
will be no fire insurance; as another
instance of It's saving value. the mar

PENDLEToN MADE NO MISTAKE.
Bitulithic Pavement Adopted by New
New York Street Boards.

That Pendleton made no mistake
in adopting the bitulithic paving
which has been laid on II blocks in
this city, is shown by the following
from the New York Tribune, giving
the action of the board of public
works in investigatingI and accepting
the bitulithic paving:
Petitions for paving aggregating
some 100000 square yards, and in
Guiding such prominent boulevards as
Seventh. st. Nicholas and Lenox ave-
nues, were presented, asking that the
streets be paved with bitulithic pave
ment. n patented pavement controlled
by Warren Brothers company.
Most of these petitions were OBJ
tained and presented by the property
owners or the taxpayers association:
and were further endorsed by official
reports and the appearance before
the proper authorities or numerous
associations. such as the Road Driv-
Associated Cycle clubs the League of
American Wheelmen, etc.
The result of these strong endorse
ments induced the president of the
borough of Manhattan to send the en-
gineer of highways to investigate the
pavement where It has been laid in
other cities and it finally resulted in
the Borough engineer ana commits
missioner of public works of other
boroughs making similar investiga-
tions through their engineers, and the
official record of the proceedings IS
one of the strongest endorsements of
merit which any pavement has ever
received.
