HAMBURG BoURSE PANlcKY
AFTER OLD HOUSES FAILURE
Ry Associated Press.

Ply Associated Press.
HAMBURG, Oct. 1.-THE old private
banking firm of Haller, Soehle & Co.
failed today. The liabilities of the firm
are variously stated, and 1t was estimated
early in the day that they were in the
neighborhood of s5,000.000, but the Ham
burger Nachrichten says this afternoon
it is Informed by a banker who is in a
position to know that the liabilities will
reach $7,500. 900. This will make the crash
of this firm the biggest bank failure In
Germany since the famous breakdown OF
the Leipzeiger bank In June, 1901.
The assets of the firm have not yet
been ascertained. but in banking circles
the capital of the partners is declared to
be $2.500,000.
Nearly all the joint stock and private
banks in Hamburg are affected in vary
ing degrees by this failure, but a number
of them say the claims are adequately
secured. Among the FIRMS liabilities are
acceptances for $3,75O,0O0. The largest
amount held by any individual house
seems to be $4,000, in the hands Of the
Vereins bank.
Haller, Soehle & Co. had been in exist
ence for seventy years. 1t has for a long
time enjoyed very high reputation. Lat
terly, however, the, credit of the house
has been on a less assured basis. One
of the older members of the firm died
within short time The present part
ners are DIR. 1. o. Soehle and 1. w. Lue-
bers. Both men occupy positions of trust
in other financial Institutions
The failure created paniclxy condition
on the bourse and various sensational ru-
mors were in circulation. According to
one report Soehle & Co. were heavily hit
by the falling coppers and affected by
lie difficulties of Otto Heinze & Co., but
this apparently is mistake.

A Financial Gift
F. Augustus Heinze, president of the
United Copper company, has been a
prominent feature in New York finan-
cial3 circles since the settlement Of his
long drawn out litigation. with the
Amalgamated Copper interests. over
Heinze's Montana property. 1t was
understood that he received a large
sum in cash as part of the settlement.
Soon afterward he became president of
the Mercantile National bank, one of
the large financial institutions of the
city.
He is one of the most picturesque, and
remarkable figures in American finan-
cial circles. A graduate of the Col
umbia school of mines, he went west
without capital and began the develop
ment of copper properties which
brought him into conflict with the
great Anaconda company, now part
of the Amalgamated. This conflict
lasted for years, and was fought out
from court to court until a year or
moro ago a compromise was effected
The terms of the peace agreement were
not made public, b!.t II was known that
Heinze received enough as his share to
make him several times a millionaire.
For some time past the situation In
the copper shares has been rather un-
favorable. For a number of weeks the
Amalgamated copper has been holding
down the production of its mines to
about half It's normal output because
of heavy overproduction of the ore
and the refusal of consumers to buy at
the prices which had prevailed. Since
then the price of .the metal has slowly
but steadily continued to decline.
Following the policy of the American
Copper, Clark and Phelps-Dodge inter-
ests, the Cerro de Pasco copper mines
in Bolivia, South America, 1T was an
nounced today, have reduced their out
put to rs per cent of the normal. The
mines have been turning out at the
rate of 24,O0O,0O0 pounds year. Their
mines are controlled by j. B. Haggin
and the Hearst estate.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Case Removed From Howard County E1cites
Much Interest.

Ia the Circuit Court the suit OF Mar
garst DOrsch against Herman Wehland.
an action for false arrest and mali
cious prosecution, was on trial during
most Of the session. The case was re-
moved from the Howard County
court and has excited much interest.
It was alleged that the defendant ac-
cused Mrs. Dorsch and her son OF steal
ING a quantity of corn from him and
ihey were arrested, but acquitted.
The son also enters suit upon these
facts.
The Court imposed a fine Of $500
upon George t. Hooper. OF Brooklyn,
mis- county. for having a pool table
upon his premises without a license.
The fine is the only punishment pro-
vided for the oifense and there is a
eenoral feeling that it is ridiculonsly
severe for the offence. 1t is likely
chat application viii be made to the
Governor to reduce the fine.
In the suit of william n. Avery

congratulations upon his birthday
both in Baltimore and Annapolis. In
no place have the citizens right to feel
more kindly towards Governor Warfield
than in Annapolis. Since being
elected Governor he has fulfilled the
spirit of the Constitutional provision
that the chief executive should be-
come citizen of the Capital and he
has made himself an Annapolitan in
every way. He has been deeply in
terested in everything that was con-
nected with Annapolis and has in
every way shown his good feeling to-
wards the city and it's people. His
hospitality at the Mansion has brought
large numbers of people to Annapolis
and has helped TO increase interest
in it everywhere. He has advocated
liberal treatment of the city by the
Legislature and appropriations for the
Improvement aud identifying of the
State property here.
Finally, the Governor has by his
efforts towards collecting things OF
historical and material interest, made
the State House and Annapolis so at
tractive as to interest people from all
over the country in-the yearssto come.

FOR INDUSTRIAL WORK.
State Board TO Change Teaching Methods
For colored Children.

The State Board Of Education has
appointed committee, consisting of
Messrs. Glenn Ii. Worthington, Rufus
X. Wood and W. S. Powell, TO inves-
tigate th teaching of industrial work
TO c0lOTcd school children.
For some time the State Board has
been considering the advisability of
substituting more practical studies
for some of those now taught. State
superintendent Nj. Bates Stephens said
the board hopes TO put the new sys-
tenn in operation in about a year. No
definite plan has been formulated, but
il is believed that the teaching of the
ordinary studies will be cut down TO
half day and that the other half will
be devoted to agriculture, cooking,
sewing and the like. Booker Il. Wash
ington and other authorities have been
asked for advice.
superintendent Stephens said I'VE
expect to Introduce more industrial
work in the course Of all schools,
white aud black, but our plans along
that line are more in reference TO the
colored schools at present. We are
now investigating what is being done
in other states
