RIOT ON CURB MARKET.
Mad Rush to Secure Widely Adver-
tised Mining Stock.

New York, March 30.-Scenes al.
most approaching riot were witnessed
on the Broad street curb market. It
resulted from the offering for sale for
the first time of shares in widely
advertised mining property. Five min
utes before the usual opening hour
more than 500 brokers and messen-
gers who had gathered in the street
made a wild rush for the agents to
whom the distribution of the new
shares had been entrusted. Ninety
per cent of the brokers are said to
have had buying orders for this stock
and in their anxiety to execute their
commissions they fought wildly to
reach the men who had stock for sale.
Men and boys were knocked down and
trampled in the rush, the street was
blocked by the struggling crowd, traf-
flc was suspended and the shouts and
sounds of conflict brought a throng Of
spectators to the scene. In the mean.
tinao tho general business Of the out
door market was practically at a
standstiN. After about an hour the
excitement quoted down. 5.@..

THE national election Is past and
millions of dollars Of orders for

ginners' reports indicate larger
amount OF cotton ginned to date than
at any previous period in the his

CAR KILLS SMALL BOY.
Mangled Body Found on Brake
Beams by Motorman.

New York, Nov. 5.-Carrying on
its brake-beams the mangled body of
small boy, trolley car ran for more
than three miles along Second ave-
nue. last night without the motor
man knowing that he had ever hit.
much less killed a person.
The motorman told the police
when he was arrested, charged with
homicide, that he remembered q
humping of the car at 99th street,
but gave it very little attention. At
96th street the humping was repeat
ed several times. At 46rh street
the car stopped and the motorman
crawled under it to see what was
the matter with the motor. He was
Mortified to discover the horribly
mangled body Of boy apparently
about nine years old.
He collapsed and was assisted
from under the car by the conduc-
tor. The car was filed and when the
passengers found out what caused
the delay several women tainted.
1t is thought that the boy was
Salvador Cantplope, although the
body was so badly mangled as to
make Identification, except by the
clothing an impsosibility.
Another child Of the same family
was killed by trolley car three
years ago.

TWO RICH BANKERS CONVICTED
OF FRAUD.
Former Ice King and Steamship Pro-
moter Will Serve Term in the
Federal Penitentiary.

Federal Penitentiary.
New York. Nov. 6.-Charles W.
Morse, one time "ice king" steam
ship king and a controlling force
in long string Of banks in this
city, whose personal fortune little
more than a year ago, was estimated
at more than $4,000, 1000 and Alfred
H.. Curtis, former president of the
National Bank of North America,
spent last night in a cell in the
Tombs prison.
They were convicted yesterday in
the United States court Of VIOLA
tions of the national banking laws
in connection with their conduct Of
the National Bank Of North America,
of which Morse also was an office.
Today, when they arose, simulta-
neously with hundreds Of others in
the grim city prison they faced the
possibility of many years behind
the iron grated doors. This morning
they arose with the other prisoners.
and partook of the regulation Prison
breakfast.
Morse was sentenced today to if
teen years Imprisonment by Judge
Hough in the Federal court. Sem
tence on Curtis was suspended.
The sentence on Morse was on the
verdict of guilty Of the misappropria-
ton of the funds of the National
Bank Of North America and making
false entries in the books of that
bank. 1t is understood that the
Atlanta Federal prison will be where
Morse will be confined, if he goes to
prison.
A stay of ten days in the execution
of Morse's sentence was granted,
and it is expected that appeal will
be taken Immediately.
The scene in the court room when
sentence was passed was dramatic,
The wives Of the two defendants
we're present early, but 1t was the
husbands and not the wives who
proved comforters. Morse sat like
a stole when he heard the words con-
demning him to prison but the strain
was too great for the women. Mrs.
Morse collapsed and still sobbing
was taken to an anteroom. where a
moment later her husband held
her in his arms and sought to con-
sole her. Mrs. Curtis tainted.
After granting clemency to the
case of Curtis, Judge Hough said:
'In the case of Morse there Is little
to be said. AS in all bank fraud
cases, criminal legality is only part
of the larger general scheme. In
this case it was to use the bank and
the depositors' money for specula-
tive purposes. If such schemes were
permitted to be carried out the pub
lie would be at the mercy Of band
Of adventurers. Therefore sentence
you to fifteen years in the Federal
prison at Atlanta.
Pending action on the appeal
Morse was ,paroled in the custody OF
the United States marshal.
Morse was taken to the Tombs this
afternoon and it's was announced
that no application for release on
bond would be made today.

SOME FAIR TALK
FROM PRESIDENT ELECT W.T.
LIAM II. TAFT.
But We Fear It Will Amount to
Nothing Practically When He Be-
comes President.

Cincinnati, O., November s.
Speaking to the Cincinnati CONNER
vial Club, where he has been mem
ber for fourteen years, William How
ard Taft tonight sounded the keynote
of prosperity for the county for the
next four years.
Every business man who Is obey
ing the law may go ahead with all
the energy in his. possession, every
enterprise which is within the stat
utes may proceed without fear of in
reference from the Administration
when acting legally, but all interests
within the jurisdiction of the Fed
eral Government may expect rigid
enforcement Of the laws against dis
honest methods" was the keynote
of what Mr.. Taft said.
The speech which Mr.. Taft de-
livered here tonight created a pro-
found impression among the business
men os the city who are members
of the club. The speech was pre-
ceded by expressions of friendship
and neighborly felicitation on the
part of the distinguished guest, and
was responded to with the greatest
enthusiasm.
Seriously" Judge Taft declared,
"the indications are already 'appar-
ent, and the hopes which I entertain
are that the business communities
and the investors Of both foreign
nations and among our people will
take heart in carrying out the great
enterprises which have been protect
ed, and must be carried to con-
clusion If the country is to reach its
full need of prosperity and business
attending.
Business men are to be shown the
lines of legality, and are to be di-
rected in keeping with these lines,
which have been emphasized during
the last four years. Business men
shall know that they are to conform
to the laws upon the statute books
and that no favors are to be expect
ed for those who break the laws.
"This shall be so that the men who
conduct legitimate business may
understand that the Government Is
! back Of them and does not intend
to do anything to interfere with their
legitimate advancement"
|; After the applause which met the
declaration had subsided. Judge Taft
| added:
1T is a question Of the definite
knowledge of the statutes and OF
their clear understanding which shall
make the honest progress of our bus
mess possible. And that is, in my
belief, all that is necessary to make
that progress substantial and en-
during
Judge Taft apologized for direct
| ing his words into such serious dis
course.
"I know the difficulties that will
arise in my career he added, ana
l know that there will be questions
which will arise that I do not know
of now, and that times will como
when many of my friends here will
kshake their heads and say, poor
Bill but all I ask Is for suspension
of Judgment until the situation may
be understood. It's decisions will
rest upon the principles of sound and
honest business policies, which
have outlined, and its intricacies may
be ascertained and applied. These
details will, 1 am sure, explain what
may appear to be errors OF 1udg-
ment and mistake"
