buIIeu states attorney Henry l., StimSOn x
pressed surprise last night when asked If any
of Mr. Barney's financial transactions had been
considered in the investigation which was
started recently by his office into the local bank
ing situation to discover whether any violations
Of the national banking act had been committed
The investigation is being conducted by the
criminal branch Of Mr.. Stimson's office in con-
junction with the national bank examiners, but
the United States Attorney said that as the
Knickerbocker Trust Company was a state cor
poratiop its affairs would, Of course, not be In
cuded I'm the investigation. So far as the fed
eral inquiry into the national banking situation
in this city is concerned, Mr. Barney had moth
ing 70 fear. In fact, the investigation has not
proceeded to the point where 1t is possible to
decide whether criminal prosecutions of indl-
viduals are advisable.
Mr.. Rogers. of the Stock Exchange firm of
Rogers & Gould, at No. II Broadway. where
Mr.. Barney special partner had his private
offices. said last night that Mr.. Barney's death
had come as great surprise to him and his
friends. He said that the recent troubles OF the
Knickerbocker Trust Company had weighed
heavily on Mr.. Barney, and he thought that
financial worries had doubtless driven him tenn
porarily out Of his head Asked whether Mr..
Barney had lost his private fortune. Mr.. Rogers
said he had no information on that point.
STATEMENTS OF DIRECTORS.
James b. Haggn, director OF the Knicser-
booker Trust Company. said last night that he
had not seen Mr.. Barney for several months
so far as Know he said. "the reason for his
committing suicide was not because of his con-
nection with the Knic6erbocxer. Ills outside
obligations We're such, so far as I know. that
they would make any man worry. In my opinion
his resignation from the Knickerbocker made
many people think their money was unsafe in
other banks, and this caused considerable
trouble"
Leopold Wallach, another director, said "Only
;esterdsy the directors OF the company were
notified by 9fT. BarHey's counsel that all his
private affairs had been put in shape and that a
Iaset!ng Of hts creditors was called for NO

Monday by attempting TO Jump from a third

Ever since the closing Of the Knickerbocker
Trust Company Charles D. Barney, of the Stock
Exchange arm Of Charles D. Barney S- Co. had
been receiving hundreds of letters from deposit
ors il the company. Some of these, coming
from foreigners. have held threats and impreca-

The writer's Of the letters evidently confused
Charles Z. with Charles T. Barney, for whom

WATERWAY TRANSPORTATION

Much of our financial trouble Is
one to thesfact that the rapid inter-
change of commodities and materials
cannot take place on account of lack
St transportattop facilities. If
transportation were freer, money
would net. be tied UP as it is in the
movement of crops, and less money
would be needeG Fnis is the argu-
hent evolved at the recent meeting
of the Transmississippi congress and
Mt the waterways commission.
What we are needing, then, is not
30 much, an elastic currency as great
ers transportation facilities. In this
emergency the people OF the country
have redfscovered the rivers. In the

out quickly, and which met with
such favor that the ship was overrun
with people trying to buy more after
the entire lot had been sold. Since
then, understand, no American
oranges have been on the local mar
ket. Lemons sell here for cents,
gold, each, which would seem to be-
a high enough price when compared
with Pacific coast values to warrant
an investigation as to the possibili-
ties of supplying the Chinese mar
ket. The American oranges are far
superior to the small, seedy, tight
skinned Asiatic ones. and would
surely be received with favor. If 1t
were possible for large Quantities of
this fruit to be shipped to Austria
Ma when the line from San Francisco
was running, there seems to be no
obstacle to prevent their shipment
to China.
American apples, especially those
Of Oregon are also favorahay known
here Some dealers in Shanghai
make regular business of import
ing them, and Tsingtau firm has
standing order with the Shanghai
house The apples are by far the
best that come to this part of the
country. They sell we'll. and their
keeping qualities leave nothing to be
desired Aside from oranges, lemons
and apples, It is hardly probable that
any other fruit could be sent across
the Pacific and find a ready market,
but If exporters would make connec-
tons with Shanghai iobbers or COM
mission men It is absolutely certain
that a large and growing trade
could be worked I'D.
American Canned Goods Popular
All of the American timed fruits
are to be found here and command

in Tsingtau each have course OF

Peaches pears and fall apples grow

by the exegencies OF the case.
In studying out the problem Of the
long haul and the short haul, Kan
sas City shippers discovered that they
were paying Al cents out of every
dollar paid out for freight to have
their goods shipped from st. Louis, as
against SO cents shipped from the
Atlantic seaboard, Protest was of no
avail, as the railroads were too busy,
and the remembered the Missouri
river and rehabilitated few steam
boats and found their freight bills
cut In two. They moved goods az
half the cost and in very little more
time They also discovered that on
the old Missouri SO times the pres
ent freight can be moved to Kansas
City without clogging the great
highway, and the river is everybody:s
road. If prices of established lines
do not suit. the shipper can put his
freight on his own bottoms and de-
liver it at it's destination.
What has been discovered as true
of the Missouri will be found true OF
all our natural waterways east and
west. The people have awakened to
the economic use of the rivers of the
country and the expressions at the
Mississippi congress and at the
several waterways conventions held
this year are all in line of a new
era of development for the country.
