POTTER AGAINST HEBBERD.

With a view to getting at the reason for this
wide divergence Of opinion between the branch
Of the Department of Charities under the con-
troll Of the Finance Department and the branch
conducted by the Commissioner of Charities.
Tribune reporter asked DIR. Potter what he had
TO say about the statement made by Commits
sioner Hebberd TO the effect that no such
as SI54 600 was needed to make up Deficiencies
in the budget appropriation for private charita-
bic institutions during the current year.
What have to say,' replied DIR. Potter, us
that the Commissioner of Charities is without
any knowledge which would warrant such a
statement and If he made the statement attrib-
uted him he is evidently looking for trouble
This isn't the first time he has attempted to in
terfere with this department in the discharge of
its official duties. He has nothing whatever TO
do with the payments made by the city to pri-
vate charitable institutions. The estimates for
those payments are prepared by this office with
out his assistance or advice. They are pre-
cented 20 the Board of Estimate by this depart
n1ent and when the money is apportioned IT is
paid out by this Office without any reference
whatever to the Commissioner of Charities. Yet,
in spite of gil this, the Commissioner seems TO
know more about the business of this office than
those who are responsible for its conduct.
LAS the citys poorInaster the Commissioner Of
Charities is charged with the duty Of certifying
as 30 the eligibility of inmates in private chari
table institutions to become proper charge
upon the city. When he thus certifes that these
inmates are legally entitled to be cared for in
privately conducted charitable institutions at
the expense of the city the duties of the Com
missioner, so far this branch Of the charities
administration is concerned, come to an end

the care OF the dependent poor and sick In these

the Meal.

However simple a meal may be
here should be no halfway work
about food that is to be served hot.
Fish, like soup, cannot be served too
hot, and roast meat should sizzle as

That night, however, nc took but LITTLE

| the restriction OF product. the IN.
crease OF price and the throttling OF
| competition. q trinity that would
wreck any combination, business, DO
litical or social"
with this generalization we have no
concern AS to the copper situation
the comment was pat. 1t had been
! suddenly disclosed, not only that no
combination could be made to include
the European mines, but that the Con-
solidated company had an unsold sur
plus of 15O0UO,0OO pounds OF copper:
that 1t was producing 100000 900 pounds
a month more than could be sold, and
that 1t had made large secret sales
abroad at from two TO three cents be-
low the market price.
As IL fearing that these adverse con-
ditions did not sufficiently insure the
stocks downfall, the Shepler group OF
Federal Oil operators beat IL down
further with what was veritably n
golden sledge. That Is, they exported
gold at loss. At time when obliga
tons could have been met more cheap
ly with bought bills they sent out
many golden cargoes at an actual loss
of $500 on the half million. AS money
WAS already dear. and thus became
dearer, the temptation and the means
to hold copper stock, In spite of all dis
couragepent5, were removed from the
paths OF hundreds OF the harrled hold
ers.
Incidentally, Western Trolley had
gone into the hands OF a receiver. a
failure involving another 100000 900.
and Union Cordage had fallen "a
points through sensational disclosures
as to Its overcapitalizatiou.
Into this maelstrom Of a panic mar
ket the Bines fortune had been sucked
with swiftness so terrible that the
family's chief advising member was
lert dazed and incredulous.
For two days he clung to the ticker
tape as to a life line He had COM

Then he had seen his cunnipgIv built

1t has been thought wise to adopt
two somewhat differing SMILES in the
foregoing, in order that the direness of
the tragedy may be sufficiently appre-
hended.
The morning OF the first of the two
last awful days, he was called to the
office of Fouts & Hendricks by tele
phone.

Solidated to-day"
He had hurried downtown. flushed
with confidence. He knew there was
but one thing could happen. He had
reached the Office at ten and heard the
first vicious little click of the ticker
that beating heart OF the stock ex
change-as 1t began the Unconditional
story OF what men bought and sold
over on the floor. Its inventor died in
the poorhouse, but capital would fare
badly without his machine. ConsoIi-

crowd about the ticker grew absorbed
