influence, made him write an order for
all his securities in a certain trust
oompany's vaults.
In 1879 there was sent out from St.
Louis and printed in a number of pa
pers detailed account of a fight be-
tween mammoth bulldog in st. Louis
and we'll known sporting man of that
place. Both contestants were COM
PEELED to fight on all tours, according
to the story, the man only being al
lowed to use his fists. The story was a
thrilling one, but it was entirely fab
rication.
Freaks of Brown and Mulhattan.
Harry Brown and Joe Mulhattan
palmed off so many and such unrea-
sonable lies on the American press
that they became professional liars.
Brown got up a horrible murder and
found the bloody garments and dinner
basket of girl on the banks of the
East river, Brooklyn. The affair in
voived the New York and Brooklyn po-
lice in war and caused several rep
rimands to a long list of reporters for
getting scooped. Brown, while work
ing on the Buffalo Times, went to
Lake Chautauqua and wired a two
column account of a steamboat eXplo-
sion, in which 300 lives were lost. The
er again reported for duty on that
paper. He worked a number of news
papers on just such stuff.
Mulhattan never attempted to en-
gage regularly on newspapers, but pre-
ferred the life of a commercial drum
mer. He Travelled extensively, and it
was a duh place for news where he
could not grind out a column of fake
stuff and wire it off to a score of pa
pers. 1t was in 1882 that Mulhattan
started the balloon story in the Phila-
delphia Press. A gentleman, so the
story went. bought a bundle of toy
balloons and gave them to a little girl
whom he met on the seacoast. The
child wrapped the string around her
waist, and a sudden gust of wind car
ried her away, sailing out over the
wide waste of sand, and she would
have been carried over the water had
not an old hunter shot at the balloons,
exploding them and letting the child
come slowly to the ground. 1t was this
same monumental liar who palmed off
on New York paper the story OF an
aerOlite. covering thirteen acres, which
was alleged to have fallen near a re-
mote town in Texas. The dispatch
gave the precise information as to the
locality of the strange visitor, and was
printed, triple-leaded, on the first page
of the paper. The story Of the five
skeletons found sitting upright in a
carriage under a lightning blasted tree
on a long abandoned road was also
born of Mulhattan's imagination. The
alleged presumption in this case was
that the party had stopped there for
shelter from a storm, and had been
stricken dead. remaining undisturbed
until they were reduced to skeletons.
A second mammoth cave was discov-
cred in Kentucky by Mulhattan, who
said it was four times as large as the
original. European scientists came
over to investigate. He, too found an
other cave, where the James and
Younger brothers had thousands of
dollars worth of loot stored away.
All of these and many others were
widely copied and generally believed.

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
THE METALS
MATING, ONLY WAITING.

IT isn't so very long ago, as Mr.. Har-
rinlan's interview reminds us, that the
administration got it's decision in the
Northern Securities case and followed
up the fright that decision gave the
financiers with the assurance that the
president was in no danger of running
amuck and smashing the Wall street
crockery just for the fun of hearing
the crash it would make Yet the
crockery has been smashing at a rath-
er rapid rate during the past few
months and the hoUsehOldeTs among
the American people who have an in
terest in the broken ware are wonder
ing when the smashing viii end.
In itself the Standard Oil prosecution
and the tremendous fine imposed have
large The Standard Oil has never
shown the gentle disposition, the high
regard for the rights of others, the ex-
quisite appreciation of morality i'm
public and commercial affairs that
would make many people grieve for the
fate that has befaIlen it. But even
those who rejoice at its discontinue
hesitate TO urge the extension Of the
punishment given it so as to include
every large corporation in the coun-
try in the campaign of destructive pros
ecution. In the end such a campaign
promises too much the same fate as
befell Samson when he wrecked the
pillars of the temple and earned all the
premiums on his accident policy in a
lump.
Just now the men who handle most
of the large financial enterprises of the
country are waiting to see whether the
temple is going to cave in as a result
of the administration overexertion in
the courts; and they show a natural
caution about being in the immediate
vicinity when the wreck comes, if it is
coming. They yearn for some inside
information from the president himself
as to what is going to happen next,
and while they wait IN line, hat in
hand. they block the highway for all
are on the same errand.
It may be expecting too much to hope
for any utterance from the oracle of
Oyster Bay on the subject nearest to
the bankers and brokers and other
fnanciers of the country; but if Roose-
welt would JUST say a word, even if he
has to whisper it, that would Teassure
the nation, it would help parlOus sit
uation considerably.

VIII his long rest leave him in such
vigorous condition physically that he'll
have TO work off his surplus steam on
the first victim he comes to? Haven't
the boys" already promised to be
good and never do it again. and doesn't
the promise entitle them to at least a
suspended sentence during good be-
havior?
Or does the impending presidential
campaign demand action of some sort
that will show the great American
Peepul that Theodore and the Repub-
lican party are on the job all the time?
OF course it would be hard on the
president to have to restrain himself
and do only the commonplace executive
business of the presidents office; but it
would be a great comfort to the whole
country, not to say a great boon, if he
would try it once, just once.

alienists employed by jerome today
signed afidavits for presentation to-
Judge Fitzgerald in an argument this
afternoon for appointment of a com
mittee in lunacy to examine Thaw.
Six Of them declare Thaw to be
suffering from form of paranoia,
that he should not be discharged from
custody, that if discharged he would
be dangerous to public peace and
safety and it is reasonably certain
he viii not recover. The seventh
alienist, Hirsch, agreed with his col
leagues except that he declared chat
Thaw cannot possibly recover. The
documents include also an affidavit
by Irving S. Cobb, reporter, describ1
ing note given him few weeks
ago by Thaw, in which Thaw com
mented upon his wife's testimony and
upon the conduct Of the prosecution.
The affidavits were signed by Flint,
