SEEK KNICKRRBOCKER ASSETS
Directors Work with Attorney Gen.
eral in Selecting Receiver.
Among the Securities Are Bonds of
Cuban Enterprises and some
American lee stock.

New York, Oct. 23.-The directors Of he
Knickerbocker Trust Company have given
up hope of being able to resume pay
ments, and the attorney general will prob
ably apply for d receiver tomorrow. The
only thing that prevented this action to-
day was the difficulty of selecting a thor
oughly competent man TO handle the
millions of assets. It is understood that
the attorney general consented to recon-
mend 20 the court any man suggested by
The Knickerbocker directors, provided he
is satisfied of his competency.
While the attorney general and the
directors were trying to get together on
this point, the State Banking Department
had charge Of the company's Offices and
property, and viii continue TO assert its
control until a receiver takes charge.
The State Banking Department refused
to-day 10 discuss the quality Of the Knick-
erbOckeT investments and the big list Of
loans they were carrying From other
sources, however, il was learned that
among the assets Of the company are S25.-
100000 of underwriting. upon which the
company has advanced $20OO0.050. These
underWritiugs include all sorts Of enter
prises. and are largely for undertakings
in which Charles T. Barney was inter
ested i'm one way or another. notably real
estate propositions
They include also some OF the Barney
enterprises in Cuba Among others are
the Santa Cecilia Sugar Company. which
had capital stock of 100000 and
bond issue of the same amount; the Cuba
Hardwood Company. with "A capital stock
of S2.00l000 and a bond issue OF $1,000, 600,
and the Northeastern Cuba Railroad The
Knickerbocker Trust Company is trustee
Of all these Cuban concerns.
Among the underwriting securities held
by the trust company are some also Of
the McCalls Ferry Dam Company, "A 2l0.-
co. coo concern in which Mr.. Barney Is
financially interested
Directors and officers Of the company
insisted to-day that all Of the loans or
undertakings for companies with which
Mr.. Barney's name had been connected
were good and would pan out for full
value
Another item in the company's list Of
assets is a loan Of 81. 10000 20 the Ameri-
can Ice Company, Charles ". Morse's
concern. This loan is secured by all the
stock Of the Philadelphia Ice Company.

Receivers for Trust Company.
As result Of the appointment Of re-
ceivers for the Westinghouse companies
this afternoon. the Iron City Trust Com
pany, considered one Of Pitts5urg's sub
stantial trust companies. is now in the
hands OF receivers. Acting for the board
Of directors. Willis F. McC0ok made ap-
plicauon before Judge Ewing in the
United States District Court late this
afternoon for the appointment Of receiv-
ers for the trust company.
It was explained by Mr.. McCook that
while the institution has assets Of 81.
o1.oD5 and liability TO depositors Of only
81 .7U0 90. il was thought best TO ask for
receivers. It was stated that, being un-
able 20 call loans ana realize on securi-
ties. the boar1 Of directors believed il
best TO close. II. :. A. Stewart and Will
lam l. Abbott were named as receivers.
There is no doubt OF the solvenCy Of
the Iron City Trust Company said Mr..
NcCook. The depositors will be paid
iu full This action was precipitated by
the appointment Of receivers for the va
rious Westinghouse concerns, and was de-
cided upon by the board of directors as
the best method Of protecting the de-
positors and stockholders-

tablished in 1901 with 100000 capital.

New York. Oct. 23-While the streets in

with an excited crowd. the street on the

were filled with anxious men. Each
ticker was surrounded by a little knot

Men who dabble i'm stocks the year

wanted to see his broker Was this bank
safe? Was that trust company safe?
Would stocks go lower, or would Cortel-
you do this, mat, or the other thing
were only some Of the many questions
asked.
When the news of the closing Of the
Pittsburg exchange reached the crowd in
brokerage Offices. there was much excite
ment. and it was only the work of
minute for a rumor 10 start on the
rounds to the effect that the New York
Stock Exchange would not open to-mor-
row.
The regular bi-monthly meeting Of the
board Of governors was held to-day, and
that helped the TumOr. Secretary Ely
Of the exchange, said that the Pittsburg
closing had really little effect on the
market here, and practically none on any
action that might be discussed by the
board of governors here.
He characterized as absurd the rumor
that the exchange would not open to-
morrow, and pointed 10 the fact that.
considering the situation. stocks had
really held their own in a remarkable
manner.

Havana, Oct. 23-Business conditions
in Cuba. which have been serious for
several weeks, are now worse than ever
before. The difficulties Of the Knicker-
booker Trust Company Of New York at
tract serious attention owing % the large
interest Of men in that company in East
ern Cuba, especially in the cuba North
eastern Railroad and the Cuba Hardwood
Company. It is said that one bank here
was compelled to-day to make a hasty
cable transfer Of 100000 from New York
in order to protect itself.
The banks decline to make advances to
sugar planters, who have always bor-
r0wed at this season Of the year for the
forthcoming crop. They declare that they
VIII not let 90 of their money under

DELAYING THE CAPITOL"

Some of the newspapers of the state are criticising the legislature for delaying the completion of the capitol" The legislature has done nothing of the sort. The legisla- ture has not laid one straw ill the way of the completion of the capi- tol. It has simply said, in effect, to Caldwell & Drake: "You go ahead and carry out your contract with the state. You build the state capitol according to the plans and specifications and the contract which the state has with you. We will not appropriate one cent of ad- ditional pay to you, but the money is in the treasury and you will be paid every dollar on your contract just as fast as you earn it.
 When Caldwell & Drake com plete their COntract-lt they ever do-the new state capitol will be in a habitable condition. The grounds will not be terraced as per haps they should be, and the build ing will lack, of course, most of the furnishings and interior decora- tions.
 The legislature of two years ago refused to grant an appropriation of $500, 900 additional graft for the Indiana contractors to feed upon, and when this year they modestly reduced their demands to S325, ,ooo, the legislature likewise refused them. But the legislature has done nothing to delay the completion of the capitol.

MAMMAL OF ALASKAN COAST,
6eIuga in Many Ways of Great Value
 to the Natives.

This mammal, commonly known as the beluga, in Alaska, is quite abundant in the summer along the Alaskan coast north of the Aleutian chain, being particularly numerous about the mouths of rivers and fre- quently ascending the larger streams far above tidewater. 1t is migratory and its movements are regulated by the ice. The numerous tidal creeks along the low, flat coast from St. Michaels to the Kuskoquim river, in which tom-cod are abundant, are the chief resort of the beluga, which comes in to feed on the fish. The Eskimo catch them with strong, large meshed nets, heavily weighted, set off outlying points. In dough weather, when the animals cannot see the nets, many are taken, but in clear weather the catch is small. Some are speared, some shot, but unless the shot goes through the spinal column these generally es- cape. The flesh of young beluga is tender and not unpalatable, but is rather coarse and dry. The fat, or blubber, is clear and white and is highly valued by the natives, who extract the oil from it and use it in barter with the interior tribes. The intestines are made into waterproof garments or floats, and the sinews are very much prized. The small ivory teeth are carved into toys or ornamental pendants, while the skin is made into strong lines or very durable boot soles. The epidermis, which is nearly half an inch thick, when we'll cooked is considered choice eating, having flavor some- what resembling chestnuts.

TOO BUSY TO EAT.

J. G. Phelps Stokes has with drawn his support from the Young Mems Christian association because in some of its classes business meth ods of a very worldly description are taught.
 "The association" said Phelps Stokes recently, "attempts to give good reasons for teaching the tac- tics of Wall street. It attempts to reconcile such teachings with it's Christian character. On the whole, it fails in this. It fails like the huckster who attempted to account for the miserable condition of his horse. Why said woman to the man, your horse is living skele- ton. Don't you ever feed him?'
 "'Feed him?' said the huckster. "Well, that's a good one, that is. Why, he's got two bushels of oats and ton of hay at home now, only he ain't got time to eat 'em.'
