CAVE 1T A SHOCK
Debit Balance of the Mercantile
National Bank
At the Clearing House Found
to BE 81, 100000.
WILL STAND FOR LIT.
Fifteen Men Representing ST.
25O,OOO,OOO Capital
Have Undertaken to Straighten
Out New York Finances.

New York, Oct. 21.-The most IA
vorable sentiment in business and
banking circles resultant from changes
in various bank arrangements and the
promises of support made by the clear
ing house association received some
thing of a setback today when it be-
came known that the debt balance of
the Mercantile National bank at the
clearing house was $1,90O,000.
The debit balance of the National
Bank of North America was $850,OOO.
These figures indicated that heavy
Withdrawals from the two banks were
being made and the totals were re-
ferred to by one member of the clear
ing house as Unexpectedly large and
disconcerting.
1t was announced in a short time
however, that the clearing house would
extend assistance to the Mercantile and
National Bank of North America. Seth
Milliken, the newly elected president
of the Mercantile bank said today
that counting the Heinze- Morse loans
the assets of the bank are one dollar
and forty cents for every dollar of liza
bilfty and that the loans in question
are of value.
Stocks today opened strong and
higher, all the market leaders partici-
patfng in the rise.
Sundays meeting of bank presidents
succeeded in finally eliminating the
Heinze. Morse and Thomas interests
In certain of the clearing house banks
Besides choosing new officers for the
banks in question, and announcing that
each was in a solvent condition, fund
of 100000 was pledged by a score
of individual banks to extend aid to
those banks and render such assistance
to meet their deposits as the cfearing
house committee may think necessary.
The deposits of the banks represented
at the Sunday conference amounted to
$1,25O, 100000. The men, fifteen in
number. every one practical banker,
decided upon the measures for elimi>
mating the interests that have been un-
der criticism, which measures later IN
the day were carried out.
The methods that have now been
eliminated from the local banking sit
uatfon, it is stated, are a development
of the last decade.
These consist of the buying of a
bank, then putting up the stock rep
resenting that control as collateral for
funds to buy control of another bank
and continuing the process with banks
and with trust companies so that the
result is a pyramid controlling
Chains of financial institutions and
their deposits. The crisis, it is de-
clared was a serious one, but the cure
extended is expected to be complete
Manager Shearer, of the clearing
house said today that that institution
had the situation under control, that
all the undesirabl BILE elements had been
eliminated, and that from this time
would begin new era in banking in
New York. 1t was officially denied
that it would be necessary to issue
clearing house certificates in order to
secure support for the banks which
have been under criticism.
United Copper, Heinze security
advanced two points today from Il
to II.

which the president and party were en-
tertained.
Arriving at Vicksburg the president
was driven about the city. Half an
hour was spent inspecting the National
cemetery and the president then pro-
ceeded to the court house square where
he delivered an address.
The day was clear and cool.

GYPSY CAPTURES COUNTESS
Wilma Festetics, Daughter of Wealthy
Magistrate, EIOpes with
HUNGARIAN Wanderer.

BERLIN, April 6.-(Special. 1.-The elope-
ment of Countess Wilma Festetics a 20
year-old girl OF noble birth, with a Hun
garian gypsy bandsman, has caused a
sensation unequalled since the flight Of
Princess Chimay with her gypsy lover. Rigi.
Countess Wilma Festetics is the daughter
of a wealthy Hungarian magnate. She is
very handsome, a good horsewoman and
a notable figure in society at Budapest
and Vienna. She was engaged 70 Count
sigmund Spretti, distinguished Hungarian
nobleman.
A few weeks ago the countess arrived
at Vienna and afterwards left for Munich
accompanied by her mother and her be-
trothed. During their stay at Munich,
Count Spretti. took the two ladies to an
amusing cafe chatant where Rudi Nyary
played with his band OF gypsy musicians
every night. The countess fell a victim to
the fascinations of this swarthy Magyar
and afterwards she wrote a note expressing
her desire TO meet him
The relatives Of the countess do not know
when OF where the meetings first took place.
The first intimation that her mother had
that she was infatuated with the musician
came after her flight from Munich. She
left her apartments one morning ostensibly
TO do some shopping, and the next day
she telegrap hed TO her mother from Italy
that she was engaged to Nyary. and was
determined to marry him soon as the
necessary formalities were completed. The
mother OF the countess had gone 20 Italy
TO endeavor 10 persuade her to return home.
Nyary was greatly admired by the women
| in Munich and the cafe IN which ne played
was crowded nightly He was OF striking
appearance and not more than Is years o.
age.
