GEORGETOWN, British Guiana. Aug.
1s.-Much excitement has been caused
here by the invasion of Venezuelan ter
ritory by Captain Caldera. in command
of small frontier force from British
Guiana, and the seizure of a. quantity
of balata (the gum of the balata. tree
used for insulating wires, etc), which
it is alleged had been collected on
British territory
Captain Caldera's force went down
the Barila river and crossed the boun-
dairy into Venezuelan territory, where
Caldera, at the point of revolver. de-
manded that the Venezuelan commis-
sioner surrender TO him 1000 pounds
of balata. The commissioner was un
able to resist and gave up the gum.
He has made a protest to Presiden
Castro and the British consul here
against the seizure of the baIata and
the invasion of Venezuelan territory.
Fears are entertained of retaliation
at Morawhanna- the British frontier
headquarters. There has been much
trouble over the balata trade for some
time and the British officials have made
strong attempts to prevent illicit trad
ing in the gum.

CHICAGO BANKER
SAYS CRASH HAS
BEEN AVERTED
Financial World Saved
From Storm Such as
Was Seen in 1908
OUTLOOK IS HOPEFUL
High Prices for Products of
Farms Element of
Safety
WEST is PREPARED
IS PREPARED
Institutions Fortified for
Tight Conditions of
Money Market

Special By Leased Wire TO The Call
CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-In the
opinion of Ernest A. Harnill,
president of the Corn Exchange
national bank, the foresight exer-
cised in the last two years by the
bankers and financiers, who have
been expecting a collapse in the
prices of securities, has been suf-
ficient to protect the financial
community from any general and
serious disturbance of credit from
that source. The wealth of the
country and the strength of the
western banks is suhlcient, he thinks.
to prevent any repetition of a storm
such as was witnessed in 1903.
John J. Mitchell of the Illinois trust
and savings bank thinks the outlook
for a good agricultural yield and the
high prices for agricultural produce are
an element of safety. He believes the
banks in Chicago and the west are in
a strong position and are prepared for
the tight conditions of money which
will prevail for some time.
Concerning the condition of the coun-
Ix,~ L. To- -
of the First national bank said:
The most noticeable feature in the
situation is that the banks through
out the country. tempted by the high
rates for money prevailing in the open
market. have invested largely in
brokers' commercial paper maturing in
the autumn. This has prevented the
accumulation of heavy summer deposits
in the central banks. The country
banks will have to rely on the collection
and payment of their purchased paper
rather than on the accumulated idle
funds, with their reserves for the local
autumn demand upon them
The slowing down of business,
WHICH ScCllS llSA lldOlcs anu WHICH L
believe was noticeable as the year ad-
vanced, will be~a favorable factor by
reducing the demands for loans"
William Holabird of Holabird &
Roche. architects. believes the build
ing situation was much more encour-
aging in the west than in the east. He
said:
Returns from eastern cities have
shown a falling on in building and in
dications are that large building enter
prises practically have ceased in New
England. For the fret eight months
Of this year the steel companies have
booked more orders in Chicago and
the west than they did the whole year
OF 1906. This is good Indication for
this locality"
