Representatives of various financial houses are discussing means for col lective support of Haller, Soehle & Co.,. without, however, reaching any conclu- sion.
 The firm of Haller, soehle & Co. was founded in 1880, and until the past few months enjoyed the highest credit It had been borrowing enormous sums on acceptances during recent weeks, both in Germany and abroad and a few days ago sold SIPS, coo of acceptances at one- half per cent. above the market value.
 The announcement of the difficulties of Otto Heinze & Co.,, of New York followed by the suspension of Haller, soehle & O., caused intense excitement on the Bourse, as it was feared that the Hamburg firm would bring down other houses, but banks speedily an- nounced the amount of their losses. which were comparatively small, So that 1t is believed that no other bank will be seriously embarrassed.

COPPER COLLAPSE.
Collateral Consequences Were Central
 Influence in Stocks.

Influence i'll Stocks.
 New York, Oct 17,-The collapse in the United Copper stock in the curb market and the collateral consequences from that event were the central fnflu- enees on stocks to-day, as they were yesterday. With the suspension of the board member of the firm concerned With the attempted corner in the stock and with the acts connected with if which involved yesterdays failure of a stock exchange firm who had taken orders in that stock, and with the re- tirement of F. Augustus Heinze from the Mercantile National bank, the lin- its of the trouble which has been loom ing on the stock market horizon be- came better defined and was of rather less portentous effect on sentiment. Feeling in the matter was rather ofe of relief as over the removal of fac tor that promised mischievous results and which has been a problem to con trol on the part of the clearing house authorities for some time past. The announced failure of a savings bank in Butte was associated in the public estimation with the unsettle- ment in the whole copper world; but 1 details of the affair were meager. With
 the dividend meeting of the Amalga-
 mated Copper company set for to-day.
 the copper situation was given an ad- ditional hold on the market and as the divldend action was not looked for un- til near or after the close of the mar ket all the conditions were supplied for the uncertainties on which specn- l lation thrives. Not only was the rate to which the dividend was to be cut l in doubt, the per cent. quarterly ren- l resenting the lowest estimates, but also
 the effect on the market for the stocks
 of any given rate declaration. Another
 fall in copper, both in London and in l New York, supplied additional incen-
 tlVes TOT conjecture. The coppers were
 forced to new low levels during the l day. This was true of some other
 stocks of first rate importance. IncIud-
 ing number of railroad stocks. The
 announcement that stock sheets had 1 all passed successfully through the
 stock exchange clearing house relieved the market from its appearance of
 greatest depression.
 Some of the buying that ensued was apparently due to the covering of some heavy short lines of stocks and bnvine for the long account continued under much restraint,
 The rise in the call money rate was connected with the disturbance in the copper stocks and to calling of loans prompted by the unsettling effects of that disturbance. IA sharp break in the prices of wheat and corn was looked upon as, promising increased takings for foreign account, with prob able effect in easing the foreign ex- l change rate. Prices showed rallvtng tendency even after the announcement of the reduction in the Amalgamated l Copper dividend.

When the news of Heinze's suspen- sion came 1t had no effect on the mar ket. It had been discounted. Mir Heinze's complications, which, directly or indirectly, were responsible for the outpour of stocks in Wednesdays dis ordered market, had little depressing influence yesterday. After a prelimi- nary break of the opening hour, steady recovery set in, and, long before the close, prices of active shares had scored a respectable net advance.

Bv the declaration of a quarterly rate. cf s1 a share the annual dividend on IAmalganated Copper stock was cut in half This was a surprise to Wall street, which had expected at least 11-2 per cent. The stock was placed on a flat 8 per cent. basis at the last meeting of the directors in July. Prior to that quarterly dividends of IF per cent. 1-2 per cent. were paid. The stock broke rather sharply on the news to 4S 3-4, only shade above it's previous low record. It sold yesterday as high as 50 5-S.

Money rose to per cent, probably because of the days disturbances in credit. Failure of rather important banking house at Hamburg caused no recoil on markets here; it may turn out to be interesting as a symptom of Germany's financial situation, which In so many ways resembles ours.

The Hamburg Banking House Failure.
 Hamburg, Oct. 17-The failure of Hal Ter, soehle & Co,, bankers, was an- nounced to-day. Their liabilities are estimated at from 100000 to So,OOO,- 900 marks ($S,OOOO0O to $7,5OGOO0).
 The failure was due in part to the fall in American copper shares, but the bank also had great speculative invest ments in real estate companies and in- dustrial concerns, The present mem bers of the firm are oscar Luebhxs and J. c. soehles

It was early in the forenoon that there was a spell of rather violent weakness, during which the whole list tumbled to about Wednesdays low fig ures, several important issues reaching new low records for the year. Among these were Amalgamated Copper, American Smelling. St. Paul and Unit ed States Steel common.

The Bank of England made better statement than expected. Bullion de- creased $2,s0O,O0O, but total reserve was only $1,5oO,OO0 lower and loans were contracted $1O6OO,OOO and public and private deposits were reduced $18,SOo,- 900.

Lighthouse literature

We are asked the origin OF the
term lighthouse literature" It owes
its origin to the practice OF present
ing foreign reprints Of copyright
works, formerly confscated and de-
stroyed by the customs officers, to
the corporation Of Trinity House for
use in hghtships and lighthouses. To
be read in such romantic surroundings
IS esteemed a privilege by popular
authors, and the representatives OF
lighthouse literature include SUCH
names as E. F. Benson, Marie Corell1.
Hall Game, Rudyard Kiphng, Stan
lev Weyman, Israel Zangwiil and Mark
Twain. But the ordinary reader pre-
ters the stability of Smith or Nude
to literature that is rocked in the
cradle of the deep.-Lcndon Chron'

to thep, although somewhat rough
In her manner and stern in matters
of discipline, demanding military
obedience. For a considerable
period in her later years she kept a
small store, and is described as hav-
ing been garrulous and querulous.
Several years after the death of the
gunner, Hays, she remarked, her
second husband being Sergeant Geo.
McCauley. He is said to have abused
her and to have lived on her earnings.
In 1922, a year before her death, the
PENNSYLVANIA Legislature recognized
her services in the War of the Revo-
luton by voting her the sum of $40
at once and the same sum as an an
nuity for life, to be paid half yearly.
Her death occurred at her home IN
Carlisle in January, 1928, and she
was buried with military honors.
Her grave remained unmarked until
the centennial year Of American in
dependence.. A sum of money was
then collected for the purpose and a
shaft erected, on which appears this
inscription:

The Fourth Of July.

Much has been written Of late
years upon the dangers incident to
the noisy celebration of Independ-
ence Day, and attempts have been
made by legislative and other enact
ments to abolish the gunpowder
method of commemorating the ma
tional birthday.
Undoubtedly much suffering would
be prevented and many lives would
be saved were the day to be kept as
fast day once was in New England,
but old established customs are
changed with difficulty, and it Is
much easier to abolish the most dan
gerous features of the celebration
without depriving the youngsters OF
chance to make noise in safe
way. But the grown-up members or
the community should be taught
sense, and the reckless firing o. guns
and pistols by hoodlums and less vi
cious persons should be sternly sup
pressed.

SHIP MAKES STATEMENT
Sheriff Gives Facts In Chattanooga
Federal Court as to Lynching OF o.
the Negro Ed. Johnson.

When the Shipp contempt se,which
has ben under way at Chattanooga,
Tenn, for three weeks, was called
Thursday afternoon. Sheriff Shipp was
called to the witness stand in defense
of himself and his deputies. He told
all the circumstances connected with
the lynching Of Ed Johnson from the
time be first heard of a mob, through
the telephone suggestion Of Attorney
General M. N. Witaker, how he rush
ed to the Jail, was captured by the
mob and imprisoned in the bath room
while the mob took the negro, and
how he had done everything in his
power to protect te rapist from mob
violence.
Sheriff Shipp told Of the events OF
the night of the lynching. He went
home at $50 that night, intending to
do some work at home. The attorney
general called him up and told him
there was a mob at the jail.
He went there Immediately, pushing
his way through the crowd. He saw
the night jailer in one corner OF a
room guarded by three or four men.
He started to his aid, but was attacked
from behind and made prisoners He
was so firmly held that physical re-
sistance was useless.
The sheriff said he did not .recog'
nize any one he saw except DR.. SUIT
ton, Night Jailor Gibson, Frank
Stoops and two newspaper men. These,
he said, were not engaged in the lynch.
ing. Some of the lynchers were mask
ed and others were not. He was guard
ed closely while the mob secured the
negro and got away.
In answer to questions, the sheriff
said if he had to do it over again he
would do it differently; that not a
single man offered him a helping hand !;
that he had but one pistol against
many; that he was physically unable to
withstand the attack of the crowd and
that during the entire time he was in
Jail he was under arrest.
A diagram of the jail was offered in
evidence, the sheriff explaining his
movements that night and showing the
same on the diagram.

How Ned Became q Hero.

Ned was six years old when Fourth
of July came, but he was delicate
and timid, and he did not care for
frecrackers-in fact, he was little
afraid of them.
Mamma" he said, "Cousin Willie
says can't be hero unless fire of
crackers like the other boys. Can't
I, mammal"
'I am glad you don't like gunpow-
der" said mamma, "and I never
heard that it made a hero of any
body"
Still Ned could not help wishing,
as he went down the street to Aunt
AIMS while later, that he could be
a real hero.
He saw a boy come out Of yard
and put bunch of frecrackers, close
by the walk where he must pass.
'I hope he won't light them till I
get BY" thought Ned.
But he did, and then he ran into
the house, leaving the door open. AS
he looked back he saw tiny little
girl come dancing out, and spying
the bright colored crackers in the
gutter she made rush for them.
"Oh!" gasped Ned, expecting to
see them go off in the little ones
hand.
There was no time to stop to think
about it, and the next instant Ned
was at the child's side, telling her
that the crackers would burn, and
trying to take them from her. But
she held them fast. But Ned was the
stronger, and just as he forced them
away one of them exploded, some OF
the powder burning Neds cheek. BY
this time the people in the house
rushed out, and Ned was thanked
and praised until he almost wanted
to cry. AS soon as he could get away
he ran straight home.
His mother bathed the spot that
the powder had hurt while she heard
the story. She said: IF being burned
with powder makes a hero, I think
we must say you were one, after ALL"

He Could Stand Disgrace.

Walter Howard, the London drama
list, was leaving the stage door Of a
theater one evening when an anae-
ndcIooking youth stepped up and
said: "Are you Mr. Howard?" The
euthor replied In the affirmative,
whereupon the young fellow said he
wanted to go on the stage. Noticing
his evident unftness for such a HE
Howard advised him to stick to his
present occupation, whatever it was.
II am. assistant to the pawnbroker
across the way" said the ambitious
young man. "And what do your peo-,
pie think OF your going On the stage"
asked Howard. "Oh, they are right
against it," was the jasnty reply, "but
shouldn't mind the disgrace my.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

There was patriotic youth
Who dearly loved a maiden,
But, being very bashful, he
Proposing kept evading.-
Until they went one glorious Fourth
To see the men parading.
The big guns doomed, the bugles blew,
The horses footsteps clattered;
While rafting drums, exploding bombs,
Along the line were scattered;
And noisy boys fired crackers big
Till every nerve was shattered.
"Oh! everything is popping, George!"
She said with eyes that Airted.
Before he knew, he took the hint,
And something to her blurted- ,
Then heard through din Of noisy Fourth
A "Yes" from lips averted.
