Failure Follows Copper Crash.
After sharp rise in United Copper
and other stocks of which Il. A. Heinze
and his associates are the chief own
ers there came terrific slump in all
coppers Oct. 16, together with fall
in the principal railroad stocks. This
marked the collapse of speculative
movement headed by the Heinze inter-
ests, and it was accompanied by the
suspension of prominent Stock En-
change firm, that of Gross & Kleeburg.
which had been buying United Copper
for Otto Heinze & Co.. the latter firm
being embarrassed and refusing to
take the stocks purchased for them.
1t appeared that +. Augustus Heinze.
brother Of Otto, was not interested in
the attempt to build a corner in cop
per. Many low records were scored
for railroad and industrial stocks on
the same day.

Fish got temporary injunction re
straining L. II. Hartman and asso
ciates from voting 2S6,731 shares own
ed by the Union Pacific. the Railroad
Securities company and the Mutual
Life. Next day the Hartman lawyers
got the order SO modified that this
stock could he voted, but still it would
not count if it held the balance of
power. Fish cited the Illinois law as
forbidding corporation outside of
the state from voting stock in a state
railroad. Then began the scurry for
proxies. The stockholders meeting
was delayed in order that the commit
tee might canvass the returns.

previous years. The net earnings for

Big Hamburg Bank Fails.
The heaviest bank failure in Ger
many since the collapse of the Leip-
ziger bank in 1901 occurred Oct. H.,
when the private banking firm of Hal
Ter, Sochle & Co. of Hamburg went to
the wall. The liabilities are reported
at S7,500,000, with assets undeter-
mined. The concern had been doing
business for seventy-seven years and
until recently had enjoyed high rep
utation. The failure is attributed to
the locking up of funds in mining and
real estate operations.

Shining by Syndicate.
Professor Edward A. Ross in the Oc-
tober Atlantic Monthly, referring to
the progress which Americans are
making from humanitarian point of
view as regards their attitude and
conduct in their personal relations as
contrasted to their "ruthlessness of in
dustry. the ferocity of business, the
friction of classes and the stencil of
politics." thinks that the key of the
paradox is found in the fact that, while
men are improving in their personal
relations, the control of industry and
business is becoming impersonal. He
says it is noteworthy that the strife
between employer and employee was
never so bitter as it has become since
corporations came to be the great EN-
ployers. In outlining the remedy he
says: Corporations are necessary, yet
through nobody's fault they tend to be-
come soulless and lawless. BY all
means let them reap where they have
sown. But why let them declare div
idends not only on their capital, but
also on their power to starve out la
Dor. to wear out litigants, to beat
down small competitors, to master the
market, to evade taxes, to get the free
use Of public property? Nothing but
the curb of organized society can con-
fine them to their own srist and keep
them from grinding into dividends the
stamina Of children, the health of wo-
men. the lives of men. the purity of
the ballot. the honor of public serv-
ants and the supremacy Of the laws"

MORRIS WILL is BROKEN
THIRTY MILLIONS EQUALLY DI.
vIDED TO AVOID CONTEST.
Provisions Of Document Violated
Widow and Children Share Equal
ly in Distribution.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-A family contro
versy over the millions left by the
late Nelson Morris came to light after
the last will and testament OF the
packer had been filed in the probate
court. The will contest, involving a
fortune placed by the executors, at
$20,000,000, but said in reality to ap-
proach $3O,000,000, was settled out of
court, the five heirs direct having
agreed to divide the property equally
among themselves, instead of waiting
throughout the period of at least Is
years, the life of trust fund pro-
vided by the will, for division of the
property. The breaking of the will
was topic of conversation in many
circles Tuesday.
1t was said Tuesday that even
before the will was filed the widow
and each Of the four children secured
title to one-fifth part of the estate,
these being allotted in binding agree
ment signed by the executors OF the
estate.
Friendly but Strenuous Debate.
Ever since the death of Mr.. Morris,
nearly two months ago. friendly but
strenuous debate over the will has
been under way in the family, it is de-
clared, the widow and three of the
children-Mrs. Maurice L. Rothschild,
Mrs. Henry G. Schwab and Ira Nelson
Notwithstanding to abrogate the trust
plan under which they would have to
wait is or 20 years years for their
money. Opposed to them was Edward
Morris. eldest son and present head
OF the packing business, almost alb.
solute control of which is vested in
him by the will. Mr.. Morris sought
to carry out the provisions of the in.
strument. Lawyers were retained by
the two factions and long out
legal battle was prepared for. Edward
Morris ended it all .by agreeing to di.
vision of the property, providing, how.
ever, that the business remain in it's
present status with Edward in control.
How Property Is Cut UP.
In statement to the court the ex.
ecutors gave the value of the estate
at about $2O,0o0,000, of which $4,000.
900 Is personal property. 1t is stated,
however, that the estate in reality is
worth more than $30,O00,00O.

Traction Combine Prosecuted.
Two suits have been begun against
the directors of the New York Metro
politan Securities company. of which
Thomas f. Ryan is the principal own
er, to compel the restoration of the
$965.0O0 shown by the Brady testi-
mony to have been stolen from the
treasury of the company and to COM
pei the directors to repay the S250.OO0
paid to John B. Macdonald to prevent
the enforcement of contracts for rival
subways. The suits have been begun
in the name of Daniel w. Burrows. n
stakeholder of the company. One suit
was begun III the supreme court of
New York and the other in the United
States circuit court. Mr. Burrows SAYS
he has tried to get the company to
begin action against the defendants.
but it has neglected to do so as the
company is dominated by Messrs.
Ryan. Widener, Dolan and others. Sub
poenas were asked for Ryan. MacDon.
aid, Root. Sayer, Vreeland and others.
Coincident with the disclosure of
crooked financial methods employed by
the traction combine the fact has come
to light that Messrs. Whitney and
Ryan created 100000 yellow dog"
fund for the Republican national COM
mittee, to be used in insuring the cleo
ton of Mckinley and Roosevelt. 1t is
now asserted that the subscribers to
the pool were reimbursed from the
proceeds of the steal Of the Wall street

Steel Direct From Ore.

How John Potter, the Los Angeles
inventor, has found way to produce
$50 pound ingot of pure steel without
the use of coke or coal in either the
Bessemer or open hearth process is de-
scribed by Harry II. Dunn in the Tech
meal World Magazine. Potter's idea
was that Of an oil blast furnace. In
the center Of his furnace he piles the
crude iron ore and n mixture Of lime
and asphaltum in certain proportion,
which is the secret of the process.
Then jet of crude oil is turned Oh
and lighted. With a heat of 5000 de-
grees the whole mass is tluxed, and the
resultant steel flows down into a lake
in the bottom, later to be drawn off
into puddles and cooled, or the molten
steel can be run directly into molds,
thus saving one costly process under
the old methods. The loss in Potter's
process is only about per cent. while
in the existing methods the loss is
from 6 to s per cent. This means Il
saving of millions. Potter invented
also the blast burner he uses, and that,
too, is a secret. This inventor began
as a greaser boy in steel plant at
Johnstown. Pa, and worked up until
he became manager of the Carnegie
plant at Homestead. at Chicago he
assisted in perfecting the first rail tn.
