COLORADO DOLLARS FOR COLO.
RADIO PEOPLE.

COLORADO DOLLARS FOR COLO
RADIO PEOPLE.
Did you ever stop to consider
how much more good a Colorado
earned dollar can do for Colorado
if it remains at home instead of
gadding about the country at
large and risking oblivion in some
eastern strong box?
1t is to demonstrate the multi
plicity of benefits to accrue to the
state through retaining its dollars
within the boundaries of the COM
monwealth that the Colorado
Manufacturers Association has
undertaken to inform the people
of Colorado about the wonderful,
and possibly unsupported, pur-
chasing possibilities of their dol
lars here. 1t is only by keeping
our money at home to freely cir
culate in our own channels of
trade that Colorado's prosperity
can continue as it is today, in the
face of general financial uneasi-
ness.
You can buy almost anything
in Colorado that necessity de-
mands or luxury seeks. What
cannot be found today in the Col
orado market will soon be forth
coming, but over nine-tenths of
the daily needs of Colorado's in
habitants can now be supplied
from the products of the states
varied industries.
And these Colorado products
are now standing, and will always
stand, the test as to quality. They
are as good if not better than
similar goods made in the other
states. Being produced at home
they must perforce sell here as
cheaply, quality for quality, as
those manufactured elsewhere.
Although their loyalty should JUS
tify the payment by Colorado
people of even an advanced price
for Colorado products, or, the
price being equal, should encour-
age them to overlook any posi-
bic deficiencies of Colorado made
goods, the manufacturers of the
state have never asked the people
to make any such concessions.
The manufacturers are willing to
let their goods stand on their
merits, but at the same time they
advance the question why should
not the consumers of Colorado, if
they can get an article made in
Colorado as good and as cheap as
one made elsewhere, prefer to
purchase the product of home in
dustry?
1t is not difficult to get Colo
RADIO made merchandise. All you
have to do is to ask for it. If the
dealer you patronize has not had
the patriotism or forethought to
secure his stock from Colorado
factories he will soon do so if a
demand becomes apparent.
Now, what do you intend to do,
Mr.. Colorado Citizen? Will you
keep your dollars at home or will
you invest them in foreign-made
goods and probably bid goodbye

MAY Be MISSING
MRS. PARTRIDGE
Body of Woman of Refined
Appearance Found Floating
in East River, N. Y.

New York, Oct. 23-The body of wo-
man of refined appearance found yester-
day floating in the East river answers in
most particulars the description of Mrs.
Clifford ". HartTidge, the missing wife
of Harry X. Thaw counsel and friend.
Mrs Leslie w. Russell. the missing wo-
mans mother. said last night at her
home that she was impressed with the
similarity of the description of the body
in the Fordham morgue with that of her
daughter The only difference seems to
be that when she went away Mrs. Hart
ridge wore black skirt, while the skirt
of the woman found in the river is a very
dark gray The wife of the lawyer could
be positively identified by mole behind
her right ear, but there is--an abrasion
behind the right ear of the body which
might have easily removed such mark.
The woman's nails were manicured and
she bore every evidence OF having come
from good surroundings.
Coroner Schwanneck said that the body
might prove to be Mrs. Hartridge. She
has been missing nineteen days. Mrs.
Russell said last night that Mr.. Hart
ridge was under the care of a physician
and that ii would be impossible for him
to endeavor to make an Identification.

ROCKS FORE AND
AFT OF VESSEL
Stranded British Steamer
Queen Christina Certain to
Go to Pieces in First Storm.

Crescent City, Cal. Oct. 2S.-The strand
ed British steamer Queen Christina lies
in the same position she took when she
ran aground last week. The sea continues
running smooth and the upper deck has
been dry ever since the accident The
vessel lies in such position that she will
be exposed to the southeast and south
west storms and to the heavy seas which
occur here. A twisted hull at the aft port
stanchion is noticeable. There is q sandy
bottom amidships with rocks fore and aft
boat containing some of the crew went
out to the wreck yesterday and removed
their clothing and personal effects. 1t is
the opinion of local seafaring men that
the first heavy storm will pound the yes
sci to pieces There is no chance to sal
wage the heavy articles aboard from sea
ward as it is too late in the season and
because there are too many sunken rocks
around the steamer 1t is probable that q
cable will be run to the shore and by this
means save thousands of dollars worth of
goods.

Business on the local stock exchange

down as their funds were on deposit at

of the Jumbo Extension and Florence

CREATED A SENSATION.
There Was No Indications of Finan-

Pittsburg, Oct. 23.-The greatest sensa-
ton in local financial circles in years, and
one wholly unexpected, occurred today
when the Pittsburg stock exchange sus-
pended operations for the day. announc-
ing that the Security Investment COM
pany, a concern formed for the purpose
of handling the affairs of the Westing-
house interests, was slightly embarrassed
on account of the money market strin-
gency.
Statements issued by the president and
secretary of the Pittsburg stock exchange
and the committee Of the Clearing House
association at noon made light of the
matter and expressed confidence in the
local financial situation.
No Banks in Trouble.
Following meeting of several hours
the clearing house announced that not a
bank IN Pittsburg was in trouble. None
had asked for any aid and should any in
stitution request assistance it would be
rendered Immediately.

Westinghouse Statement.

The following statement was given to
the Associated Press by George Westing-
house late today:
When the Pittsburg Clearing House
committee. after full investigation and
conference with me, concluded that. al
though the Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing company and the West
tnghOuSe Machine company were solvent
receiverships were advisable as the best
means of protecting the interests of al
concerned, IL was clearly our duty to fol
low their friendly advice
THE necessity for the receiverships is
due solely to the acute financial strin
gency and consequent inability to renew
our maturing paper.
Both the electric and machine com
panies are solvent and are doing the
largest and most satisfactory business IL
their history and each company is earn
ing liberal dividends upon its stock anC
has quick assets substantially equal L
its liabilities.
"I most confidently believe that every
full and that with wise management un
der the direction of the receiver appointed
by the court, the properties will be re
stored to the stockholders.
1.-The loans to the Security Investment
company and myself are secured by tn,
stocks of the Westinghouse Manufactur
ing company. chiefly stock of the electric
and machine companies. the sudden de
cline in the market value of which OF
Monday and Tuesday of this week has
made ii impossible for us to margin orl
loans. ] strongly advise all stakeholder!
of such loans to hold their collateral. the
value of which / am confident, will ir
time be sufficient to pay the loans. The
sacrifice of the collateral in the present
condition of the market can benefit nc
one. A policy of patience and forbear-
ance is what the situation requires

& Trust company pay two for one
on all its deposits said Mr.. Wise The
company is amply secured on all the
loans which it has made and there is alb
solutely no doubt of its solvency. The
present closing was merely an expediency
measure to avoid a possible serious sit
uation and there is absolutely no danger
of Goldfield depositors losing their mon
ey. No money will be sent out of Cold

About 100 o'clock run started on the

tinued until the doors were closed at ?
o'clock. W. T. Virgin, cashier of the

Will Not Open Today.

The Pittsburg stock exchange which
was closed promptly this morning. when
informed of the situation by the Pitts
burg Clearing House association, will
likely remain closed tomorrow This ac-
ton Is taken for the purpose of prevent
ing an unnecessary sacrifice of values
by heavy liquidation of stocks
The stringency of the money market is
alone responsible for the Westinghouse
difficulties The solvency of the embar-
raised companies is not questioned. The
concerns at present are enjoying the larg-
est amount of business known in their
careers. The inability TO secure funds to
pay off maturing loans caused the embar-
rassment.
That the local banks are in good con-
dition was shown today when it became
public that the Diamond National bank
had sent yesterday 100000 in gold to New
York institutions. Several other local
banks took similar action.

Crowd Was Excited.

A crowd gathered at the doors of the
bank as soon as the news spread that il
had suspended and stood for hours about
the door in the drizzling rain. There was
a general opinion expressed that the bank
would meet all obligations, and 1t was
noticeable that the crowd included none
of the heavier depOsitOrs. The report that
the local difficulty had been caused by
run on the parent bank at Carson City
and that the bank here had been closed
in order to ship large amount of money
to Carson, aroused excitement and a
large crowd gathered at the bank threat
ening vengeance. The excitement was al
layed by the statement of Assistant CASH
Ter Wise that no money would be sent
away from Coldfield
