Vienna 1t had established n so-caIled eau

that Haller Soehle & Co. had put considerable
sums into real estate mortgages. All these as
sets are hard to convert into cash without heavy
loss. but the bankers holding the paper of the
firm believe the liabilities can probably be met
If liquidation is not too much hurried.
HalIer. Soehle & Co. had been in existence
seventy-seven years and ranked as one of Ham
burg's old patrician houses 1t had long en-
Joyed a high reputation and its paper was
everywhere regarded gilt edged and was
willingly discounted. Lately. however the
credit of the house has been on less assured
basis. Two of the older members of the firm
died within a rather short period The present
partners are DR.. /. c. Soehle and Oscar Lueb-
bers. Both occupy positions of trust in olher
financial institutions of this city. DIR, Soehle
is a director of the Wechsler Bank and the
Carbouite Explosives Company. 1t is probable
that the position of the firm has been weakened
partly through settlement with the heirs Of
the dead members. This absorbed considerable
capital
Berlin Oct. 1T.-Several large Berlin banks
are involved in the failure of Haller. SoehIe &
Co. but for moderate sums only which are re-
garded safe.
The news of the failure created heavy selling
on the Boerse. bank stocks especially suffering
big declines. American shares also were sharply
depressed reports from New York.
1t was announced at late hour tonight that
the central committee of the Reichsbank had
been called to meet tomorrow. This means an
advance in the bank rate
1t was reported in financial quarters to-day
that the mid-rnonthly return to the bank was
bad, and the market has expected a rise in the
official rate of discount at an early date. The
Hamburg failure turned the balance imme-
diatey in favor of an advance tomorrow. The
Reichsbank advanced it's rate at once on the
failure of the Leipziger Bank
The ''Bjjrsen Courier publishes a dispatch
from Hamburg saying the members Of the firm
of Haller. Soehle & Co. have only 81 100000.

pected i'll that city.
,,ar,ber OF a leading international banking
house in this city yesterday attributed the
failure of Haller, SOehle & Co. to dry rot
He said the firm was old established bank

much business as formerly. Another banker
said he believed the firms difficulties were due
to overtrading He added that it had prac-

The Destroyer Of Roads.

The. baby wagon and the bicycle are
the only vehicles that do not harm roads.
The same claim was made for the auto
mobile in its modest beginning, and it is
still nearly true for the slow. moving
truck with solid rubber tires and for the
very light runabout of moderate speed.
But the 70 horsepower "runabout,"
built for speed alone, the racing
specials" and the huge touring cars,
designed to transport whole families at
railroad speed, with their servants and
their wardrobes, are the foe of the roads
They not only terrorize the taxpayers
whose money built the roads, making it
unsafe for them TO drive to market or
even for their children to 60 to school,
but they destroy the roadbed itself.
The great weight of the automobile
presses its wheels down upon the road,
the pneumatic pressure within the tire
shapes it to the inequalities of the maca-
dam, and thus as the tire revolves a
vacuum is constantly created which sucks
the binding material out from between
the broken stone, and the terrific speed
of the car leaves it whirling in the air as
dust. Thus the road a few days after
resurfacing is left bare; passing wheels
grind the exposed edges of the stones
away, and the stone-dust in turn is
whirled off in choking clouds, to the an
noyance of the people.
Chains used on tires to prevent "skid-
ding" hasten the destruction. Continual
resurfacing is necessary, which hits the
taxpayers pocketbook, but not that of
the automobilist whose home is a hun
dred miles away.
Oiling the road surface is sometimes
resorted to, as upon the famous race
course" in Nassau County This lessons
somewhat the dust nuisance, but does
not greatly prevent the wearing of the
road. Foreign road-makers arereported
to have experimental successfully with
tar compounds which glue the binding
material to macadam in place and resist
the suction of the tires. But there is nc
cure for the evil which will be so thank.
fully received by farming communities

speedways which will relieve the high.
ways of a traffic for which they were

Whether such speedways are or are
not constructed, graduated State tax
should be levied upon all automobiles OF
more than eight or ten horsepower
The proceeds of such tax should be

they had any effect. This might have
been true of the machines at first in use,
which were of light weight aud low rate
of speed. IL may still be true of the
slow moving, solid tire delivery van and
the small runabout. But it is coming
to be recognized as fact, both in this
country and in Europe, that such is not
the case, at present, with vast number
of automobiles. These immense ma
chimes which are becoming common
everywhere; which often weigh several
tons; which can distance almost any
railway train, are found to be very de-
structive of the highway. 1t is discov-
cred that the pneumatic tires yield and

else does that passes over it, Beyond all
question, the greatest destroyers of our
highways today are these huge and swift
automobiles which, to a very large ex-
tent, are owned and run by people who
do not contribute one penny to make
good the wear and waste they cause.
In many particulars the interests of the
general public and the wishes or enjoy.
ment of the automobiles are not in har.
mony. In the long run the matter OF
actual cost will not be the least mpor.
tant factor in settling the differences
now at issue. We predict that when
once it becomes clearly understood tc
what extent the automobiists are bur
den upon the taxpayer, who has bull
and who must maintain our highways
the former will be made to pay for al
they get, or, what is even more likely t.
happen, be made to provide their owl

Retired Clergyman, and Former
Chaplain Mass. State Prison..

After a lingering illness, Rev. S. L. B.
Speare, former Congregational clergy
man, died this week at his home on Wes-
ley street, Newton, Mass. Death was due
to heart failure. He was seventy-three
years of age, and was born in Corinth,
Vermont. He received his education in
the public schools and later in the st.
Johnsbury Academy and Dartmouth
College, being graduated from both these
institutions. He also studied in theolog-
ical seminaries in Andover, Mass, and
Chicago.
He had occupied pulpits in Bangor Me.
and in Middlebury, VT. In 1873 and for
the three years following he was chap.
lain of the Massachusetts State Prison
Mr.. Speare had made his home in New.
ton for fifteen years. He is survived by
his wife and one daughter. For several
years he had not preached, but had been
identified with various business enter.
prises in Boston. He attended the Eliot
Congregational Church.

Day of 1866 Ashland street. Chelsea, was
riding his wheel on the parkway headed
for home shortly before 10 o'clock that
evening.
The trio had reached Everett avenue
when they met an automobile owned
by the Massachusetts Automobile Club
and containing the chauffeur, James P.
Clark of Dorchester, and two others COM
ing from the opposite direction.
An electric car had stopped at the
boulevard just before crossing and the
boys, as near as can be learned were
partially hidden behind this, riding
around one end of the car and coming
unexpectedly into the pathway of the
speeding automobile, the dead boy
wheel and the touring car collidipg head
on.
The boy was thrown a considerable
distance and his wheel completely de-
molished, and before the machine could
be stopped it had run over him and
badly mangled his body.
Clark brought the ponderous machine
to standstill. and placing the uncon-
scious form of the lad in the tonneau
hurried to the Frost Hospital in Chel.
sea, in the hope of saving the boys
life.

Child Culture.

1t is of vital importance that every
prospective mother should realize her
wonderful power to mould the plastic
brain and sensitive soul of the unborn
babe. Since it is formed and devel-
oped by and through the action of her
vital, mental and spiritual forces,
therefore the exercise of any faculty
of her mind or soul stimulates and de-
velops in proportionate degree the cor.
responding faculty in the incipient
child.H Every absorbing thought and
earnestIk desire she entertains is tele-
pathed to the forming brain cells of her
little one. leaving there its impress of
good or lila chisel that cuts to mar
or beautify the statue of a SOUL" If she
habitually INDUCES in anger, hatred,
worry, or undesirable thoughts and feel
ings of..sny kind, these mental states will
almost certainly be transmitted to her
child as stubborn characteristics, reQuir-
ing years of careful training to over
come. Hundreds of mothers have as
sured me-" says Prof. Newton N. Rid
dell, that they could trace their exist
ing states during CESSATION in the life and
disposition of their children" There
are numberless instances on record of
physical, mental and moral deformity,
as well as of beauty, genius and virtue,
directly traceable to the influence of
maternal impressions in the child's pre-.
natal life. James Russell Lowell affirms
that more can be accomplished for the
child in the ante-natal period than by all
the education of after years.
All that is best and purest in the ex-
pectant mother should awaken to meet
thes needs of her child. She should
cultivate cheerful, happy disposition.
cherish only beautiful thoughts and
aspirations, and pray earnestly every
hour thather little one may be lovely,
pure ands good. She thus fully opens
her soul to the influence of the Divine
Spirit, and the power of the Highest
will overshadow her and fashion a
beautiful soul-perhaps great spirit
ual genius-that will ever prove a ioy
to its parents and a blessing to man.

FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1907.
AUTOMOBILE TOPICS.

There are two or three matters of in
terest in connection with the ownership
and use of automobiles to which we wish
to direct attention.
We understand that there is a move
ment on foot in Vermont to organize the
owners and users of automobiles into
clubs, which shall have as their object
the increasing of the privileges of auto
mobilists. While the matter has not yet
been given such definite form as to en-
able us to judge of its special purposes
and methods, it may not be amiss to
suggest, even at this early date, that per-
haps the time will come when it will be
necessary for those who do not use auto
mobiles to follow this lead, and organize
for the protection of their interests.
The cry that-'the automobiles are
here to stay".-has already become quite
familiar. We are not aware that this
proposition is anywhere disputed. 1t
does not appear to be the point now at
issue. What needs to be determined at
whether or not that portion of humanity
which does not use the automobile is
there to stay" If the record of greater
Boston, with three people run into and
killed by automobiles within five days,
is to be taken as a criterion, it would
look as though the automobiles were
doing their part toward returning a neg
alive to the question. A proportionately
high death rate by railway accident or
epidemic would set the press of the
country to pouring out floods of censure
and demands for the correction of the
abuses. Security of life and limb is
likely to become one of the many consid-
erations which will induce the general
public to organize in defense of its right
to proper enjoyment of the streets and
highways which are being more and
more monopolized, and often very reck-
lessly, by the comparatively small num-
Der of people who use the automobile.
In this constant and increasing slaughter
of human beings we find one strong
argument to support the claim that
the automobiles must, eventually, have
their own roads.
There is another project which the
Automobiles of the country are said to
have in mind that is also interesting and
important. 1t is that the federal govern.
ment shall issue all automobile licenses
The object of introducing this system is
to enable tourists to make long trips
without the bother of having to procure
fresh license when they pass from one
state to another. This proposal is sc
utterly impracticable as to be simply alb.
surd. Take the matter of the licenses
and the fees; how shall that be ar.
ranged Would the government issue
one license good in all the states? Nc
doubt this is the idea. If so, what of the
disposal of the fees ? Would they be re.
tanned by the national government
That would be laying an internal revenue
tax upon every rod of highway where
an automobile went. If the fees are
not to be so retained, how could they be
distributed to the points where they
properly belonged ? How would it be
