MOSQUITO BITES CAUSE
100000 DEATHS
ANNUALLY.
DR.. Ayers Makes Astounding
Statement at Academy OF
Medicine Meeting.

New York, Oct. 1S.-"There are
25OOOO deaths annually as a result
of mosquito bites" said DR.. Edward
A. Ayers at a meeting In the Acad-
emy OF Medicine last night. He fur
nished astonishing figures in his lee
ture on Mosquitoes as a Sanitary
Problem" He said that five diseases,
four of which are nearly always IA
tai in effect, are directly traceable to
bites of that insect. These are ma
laria, yellow fever, beri beri, dengde,
and fila Tissia.
THE government is eliminating
the mosquito danger by draining the

HE|NzE AFFAIR WAS
BOUND TO OCCUR
Slump in Railroad And Other
Stocks Caused BY Scare On
Market Today But Rise Is
Predicted For TOmor-
rows Sale.

New York, oct. 1S.-A special
meeting of the clearing house COM
mittee was held this morning to con-
slider the general banking situation.
The solvency of the Mercantile Ma
tional bank, as reported by Presi-
dent Nash of the Corn Exchange
bank last night, was reaffirmed. 1t
is understood that the conditions of
certain other banks in the city were
discussed at the meeting, and all
were found in first class condition
and able to weather a much worse
gale than the one now past.
Situation Under Control.
To quote a representative of the
clearing house, "the situation is now
under control and no untoward de-
velopments are looked for"
In conservative circles the feeling
prevails that certain interests had
to be eliminated before complete
confidence in the local banking sit
uatlon could be res;rl ed. 1t Is be-
lieved that the retirement of F.
Augustus HeinZe from the presiden-
cy of the Mercantile National bank
will be followed by more satisfac-
tory results.
Heavy Declines in Stocks.
Precitate declines t. the lowest
prices of the year in the stock mar
ket followed the meeting of the
clearing house today, the sentiment
on the stock exchange being disturb
ed by rumors as to the proceedings
CT the committee. At first only
metal stocks suffered sharply but a
little later raj roads. especially the
Union Pacific. Iieading, and st. Paul.
fell away on heavy selling to the
lowest prices of the year. In some
instances quotations for stocks were
the lowest since 1898. The weakness
of metal stocks was exemplified in
the sale of Guggenheim Exploration
on the curb at 120. This is $50 per
share lower than at the last proceed
ing sale. There were heavy demands
for call loans today which advanced
the rate to 3 per cent shortly be-
fore two o'clock.
VIII Rise Tomorrow.
The slump today was altogether
the result of a scare on the part OF
certain individuals, and not due to
any conditions, hence the best in
formed members of the exchange
freely predict that there will be a
rise tomorrow and that normal con-
ditions will be resumed.

THE WHITNEY COMPANY
BECOMES EXCLUSIVE
WHOLESALE HOUSE
Dropping of Retail Depart
ment VIII Cause No Change
In Officers of Concern.
ALBUQUERQUE BECOMING
WHOLESALE CENTER

The Whitney company will be
known as an exclusive Wholesale
hardware company in the future.
The first animation that The
Whitney company would dispose of
its retail store and engage in an ex-
elusive wholesale business came in a
rumor yesterday and gained wide
circulation. Last night w. II. Whit
ney, president of the company con-
firmed the story. He said that it was
a fact that in the future The Whit
ney company would conduct an eX-
elusive wholesale hardware business
such as 1t has in the past in connec-
ton with the retail store on First
street, only on a larger scale.
I'VE have had the plans under
consideration for some time past"
said Mr.. Whitney, but not until
mated. We viii continue to occupy
our present location and Will con-
tinue to carry all the lines that we
have carried in the past and prob
ably some others. This, as you know,
includes shelf and heavy hardware,
cutlery firearms and ammunition,
stoves, tinware and granite ware,
iron pipe, fittings, valves, plumbing
and heating supplies, bar iron, steel
wagons and implements. The ve-
hicle department will be enlarged.
THE officers of The Whitney COM
panyS exclusive wholesale house,
will be the same as they have been
in the past. The mechanical de-
partment, which includes the tim
ming plumbing and heating depart
ments of the retail store, will be
continued in operation until such
time as we dispose of the retail de-
partment."
Pioneer Concern.
The Whitney company is one of
the pioneer hardware houses in AL
buquerque having been organized
here in 1898. w. r. Whitney, the
president of the company, was one
of the organizers, and has watched
the business grow in the years that
have passed from a small store to
the present large concern. The 9TH
er officers of the company are c. ID.
Goff, vice president; j. q. FlOurnOy,
secretary and treasurer; w. NJ.
Flournoy and the above officers are
the directors of the concern.
The territory covered by the
wholesale department Of the COM
Mexico and Arizona, and parts Of
California, Colorado and Texas. In
the future the wholesale trade of
the company will receive the entire
attention Of the officers Of the COM
pany. which in the past has been
divided equally with the retail de-
partment
This Is one of the most import
ant business changes to take place
in albuquerque for some time. 1t
points out that Albuquerque Is rapid
ly becoming the wholesale center Of
the southwest.

Four Killed. 80 Hurt.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 1S.-Four
persons were killed and ten seriously
and more than a score more or less
dangerously injured in a head-on
collision between two Sportsmen
Heights trains on Harrison avenue
near the city limits this morning.
Confusion of signals is said to be the
cause.
The dead:
MOTORMAN ED PARKER.
MOTORMAN WILL PENDING
TON.
WILL f. SMITH.
CLEVELAND, a negro.
The collision occurred in a heavy
fog, which completely obscured the
vision of the motormen.
No blame is said TO attach to any
one in this accident as the fog so
obscured the signals that they might
easily be mistaken. Neither train was
running at extraordinary speed and
consequently the disaster Is blamed
to weather conditions solely.
The injured, all of whom are resi-
dents of Chattanooga, are being
cared for at local hospitals.
Death List May Grow.
1t is probably that the death list
here will be larger as there are six
of the ten most dangerously injured
whom physicians believe will die.
Four Of these have Internal and spin
al injuries in addition to conclusions
and scalp bruises The other two
have fractured skulls.
