Makes Elaborate Comment
Quoting High Authority.

Capt. Clarence Nichols, explicit ol
the steamer Hartweg, has been back
home since "Wednesday evening. He
mas been besaught to tell his side oil
the story in which he has been 30

|seem to be worried very much, saws
he has been reduced to clerkship
and expects to be a real good clerk
for six months, unless there shall be
"a modification Of the sentence.
While reluctant to say ought In
criticism Of the sentence he does not
hesitate to declare that he was not
guilty OF any wrong He says when
he left Cairo some one The did not
know the person. informed him that
his boat was assigned to third place
behind the presidents boat. He
started to take this position. but
found That none of the other boats OBJ
served any rules MS to position and
he went ahead to first position be-
Lind the presidents boat. He did this
BIZ order of the owners of the boat
who were IN board He held this
position In spite of the requests OF
the commander Of the presidents
boat, because his superiors told him
to stay there In other words, he
was obeying the orders or the people

aics that the Hartweg at any time
endangered the presidents boat He
says he ran all the way on half power

Capt. Nichols admits that he used
some strong language in designating

him, prononncing them So" lies" n

NEW YORK PAPERS COMMENT.


The following comment on this now
famous case is from the New York
Evening Post of Oct, s:
Steamship men all over the coun
TRY are aroused by the summary sus
pension of the license of Captain Clar
ence Nichols, master and pilot OF the
steamboat Fred Hartweg. which Is
said to have been In collision with
the steamship Mississippi, on which
the President was riding. An opinion

ments of masters and pilots through.

given today by Captain Luther d.
Dow a personal friend and confessed
admirer of the president. who is ma
tionaliy recognized as an authority
or navigation rules.
Just where the presidents power
as Executive of the nation begins and
ends would be hard to say" said Cap
tain Dow. hut will say this. that
according to the law which governs
these cases no man has a right to re
yoke OF suspend the license Of q

hearing except in two cases--where

without considerable dispute
Not Near Presidents Boat
The assumption was made b. Cap
tain Dow that collision had actually
occurred. although according to the
emphatic statements Of Captain
|Greenwall and Pilot Saunders of the
Mississippi. the Fred Hartweg was
NO where near their boat. Testimony
to this effect also comes from Cap
tain Nichols and George W Tioe. vice
president Of the Monongahela Con
solidated Coal and Coke Company.

STEEL HELD WELLIBULLS WERE T|M|D
And Showed Support--calI Money at
New York Was Easy--Cop-
per Gossip.

/ New York, Oct 10.-Selling by thu
continent of Europe on London is moi
lover with though the volume has
i lessened The Bank of Germany has
|made very handsome reduction In
Its loan itom but 1t has lost In the
cash item for the week. The Bank
iof France, according to a late report
has withdrawn the interest in transit
offer that it was said to have made
for gold imports The Bank of Eng.
land reduced its proportion Of re-
serves 2.35 per cent and its total re-
Iserve Is some five million pounds bet
ter than last year, and the rate was
mot changed. But this bank also lost
lin its bullion item 1,855,000 pounds
| for the week. AS we have before
stated the foreign investor is not inn
pressed with the industrial conditions
here either as to their permanence or
tc their future. There are too many
uncertainties, political and economi-
Ica', so even at this level there has
been foreign liquidation of American
securities, quite largely In United
States Steel. The fall in the price
|of silver, both at London and New
York has eXerted potent influence
on the Smelling industry perhaps as
much If not more so than either lead
or copper.
Copper prices at London closed a
shade better but there was reduc,
ton at New York. 1t has been said
that the decline in Copper metal
started at London when large block
OF Copper bills were turned down BY
powerful financial interests. 1t has
also been said that the loans on the
metal have required adjustment at
New York recently. This. OF course,
takes extra money Or collateral and
only rich properties can endure the
strain.
Call money at New York was easy
with the high six per cent, but most
money is now being put into callable
form, by the people who have it.
chewod by loaners The real estate
market Is a good example Of this
tendency
Liquidation on the board today
showed one thing plainly-that the
banks and the lenders of money on
collateral loans believe that they are
in a strong enough position to call
these loans and then find a market
to sell them on. SO the specialties
aud indnstrials went out and some Of
the declines We're extremely severe.
But there was another point to the
namely, that Canadian Paci-
fic. Northern Pacific, Great Northern,
St. Paul, Atchison, and Northwest
reacted better and held better than
the lower priced railroads or indus
trial specialties. Steel Common also
held well and showed support To-
word the close covering was shown
over the entire list but there is no
buying power in the market except
covering. The loan item Saturday
should be better and just remember
that call money has not yet gone to
extreme figures, Everybody said it
would
