lengthy conference was held in the
office of Otto Heinze & Co last night,
and at it's conclusion Otto Heinze, who
is a brother of F. Augustus Heinze, the
dominant spirit in a number of large
enterprises, expressed himself as conf
dent that the difficulties will be sur
mounted.
The rumors which have been in circu
lation," he said, grossly eXaggerate the
true condition of affairs. Everything will
be satisfactorily arranged"
Otto HeinZe & Co, it was stated, were
heavily interested in the corner in United
Copper. and the conference was due to
this participation 1t was insisted on
behalf of F. Augustus Henze that he him
self had nothing to do with the luckless
corner.
An interesting story regarding the fail
ure of tfe corner was told in the finan-
cial district 1t was to the effect that
its managers became impressed last Sat
urday with the idea that many market
operators had sold United Copper short,
for 1t declined more than eight points
Saturday. apparently under bear pres
sure. They determined to make sharp
drive on the shorts, and Monday bid up
the price from 30 to 60, and were sue
cessful in forcing many shorts to cover.
Encouraged by this success, they deter
mined to execute Tuesday brilliant coup
In the stock.
Swamped the Corner.
Twenty stock exchange houses were
carrying United Copper stock at the direc-
ton of the managers of the corner. 1t
was decided to serve notices on these
to deliver their stock at the earliest pos
sible time, which was . o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. 1t is taken to have been the
belief OF the managers of the corner that
they would find many of these houses
bare of the stock because it had been
loaned to traders short of the market
or put up In banks as security for loans,
and that the brokers would have to
default in part in their deliveries. In
this event the managers could buy in
the stock under the rule and force the
the purchase price and the price at which
the stock was carried for them on each
firms books
Every one of the twenty brokers, how
ever, produced the stock in such sur
prisingly large amounts that the man
ayers were eventually forced to refuse
delivery, and the collapse Of the corner
followed. Other curb securities sold off
sharply following the collapse of United
Copper, the most important of which was
the per cent bonds of the Consolidated
Charles W. Morse's combination of coast
wise steamship companies. The decline
of the Morse bonds was accompanied by
a report that Mr.. Morse had a disagree
mcnt with f. Augustus Heinze, but this
was declared to be without foundation
in both HeinZe and Morse quarters. Mr.
HenZe and Mr.. Morse were in consulta-
ton often in the course of the day, and
seemed on the best of terms.

As the automobile tore down the

on one leg.
With a serious look the driver

there"
who is he, and why did he
hop?'
"He is a servant of the club. 1t
is his duty to patrol this road and to
give Automobiles warning if he
finds they are being timed by mo-
tor cops. The warning must be given
by signs, otherwise the warner
would be run in for o~bstructing
justice.
every club has different signs.
For instance, in Connecticut you are
warned by a man who throws his
hat in the air and catches it. In
California the warner makes circles
in the air with both hands. In
Massachusetts he shakes his fist at
you.
