BROKERS SUSPEND
Failure Of A. 0. Brown & Co.
Of New York Announced.
LIABILITIES WILL Be HEAVY
Concern at One Time Said to
Have Been the Largest in
the Country.

New York, Aug. PA. o. Brown
& Co., one of the largest brokerage
houses in this city, announced their
suspension on the stock exchange.
The transactions of the firm In the
remarkable stock market of last Sat
urday have been under investigation
by the authorities of the stock ex-
change and 1t was announced that
transactions had been made for the
firms account under the rule which
provides that where a firm Is unable
to deliver stock sold to another broker
the purchaser may buy In the stock at
the expense of the firm falling to
make delivery.
At the height of the boom markets
OF several years ago A. o. Brown &
Co. did an enormous business, said to
have been larger than any other bro
kerage house at one time. There were
five branch Offices in this city and
many others throughout the country,
but after the panic of last fall many OF
the out Of town branches were closed.
At the present time, however, the
firm had offices In Buffalo. Chicago
Cleveland, Detroit, Erie, Utica. To
ronto and Paterson, N. j. The firm
was organized in 1902. Its members
are A. o. Brown, G.. Lee Stout, Il. II
Buchanan, Samuel @. Brown and w
Rhea Whitman. A representative OF
the firm of A. o. Brown & Co gave
out this statement:
Affairs Badly Tangled.
"The affairs Of the firm are badly
tangled and 1t was felt necessary to
suspend in order to straighten them
out"
ID. w. Noel has been named as as
signee for A. o. Brown & Co. No
statement of assets and liabilities is
available as yet, but 1t is presumed
that the figures will be very large, as
the firm is generally supposed to have
had heavy interest in the market.
The effect of the suspension upon
the stock market was not so violent
as anticipated by those who knew
how large an amount of stocks A. O
Brown & Co. owed to other firms
The volume of trading increased rap
idly, but prices vacillated and there
was no general movement in either
direction. Houses to whom the sus
pended firm had failed to deliver
stocks sold were left short of stocks
to fill their own contracts and the
buying in of such stocks to satisfy
their contracts ordinarily would cause
an advance in prices. In this case
there was apparently considerable
selling of stocks because of the un
usual occurrences of the past few
days and the uncertainty as to what
might be involved in the suspension.

Sad Tale of a MOtorist.

There was man of modest means
And inclinations gay,
Who sold corner lot and bought
A motor car one day.
He closed his business up to ride
Within the big machine,
And parted with his diamond ring
To buy the gasoline.
Before, along the country roads,
The sumac lit his fires,
He put a mortgage on his house
To purchase rubber tires;
And naxt he auctioned off his beds,
His tables and his chairs,
To give the car coat of paint,
And make some slight repairs.
But speeding i'll the early dusk
Without MS lamps aIight.
A man in blue and brass appeared,
And stopped his dizzy flight
He didn't have single cent
To pay the fine imposed
They took the auto for the debt,
And so the tale was closed

TAFT REPLIES TO BRYAN.
Says People Rule Through the Repub
lican Party.

IiCan FdTty
Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 22.-"The
people have ruled through the Repub-
lican party" This is William H. Taft's
answer to Mr.. Bryan's challenge,
Shall the people ruler"
The answer was made In an address
the Republican presidential candidate
made before a gathering OF several
thousand Virginia Republicans who
came to the mountains to see and
hear him and to celebrate Virginia
day" To make his point perfectly
clear Mr.. Taft referred to the first
election of Mr.. Mckinley "as one OF
the most intelligent and effective ex-
pressions of popular will ever mani
tested to the world and the main
tenance of the gold standard and a
protective tariff by the administration
was a correct Interpretation of the
peoples will. This was shown to be
SO by even a greater majority for the
party IN 1900 and still greater major
ity In 1904, when Roosevelt was elect
ed, and we may well submit to the
country whether his administration
has not expressed the will of the peo
pie"

A NATIONAL BOARD OF IN
DlJSTRV.

For many years previous to 1870
the statesmen Of Germany realized that
war with France was inevitable, and
to make sure Of success for their eoun-
try "Board of Strategy" was formed
to plan every detail of this struggle
before hand. So well done was the
work of the board that within six
weeks from the declaration of war,
France was completely whipped. Since
that time, practically every country Of
any Importance has adopted the same
plan for the administration of their
military affairs.
Our own country has had such a
board for several years, planning the
work Of destruction and death. In the
name of common sense, isn't what
we need now, a board that will plan
the work of construction and life A
Board of Industry that will plan and
execute just and equitable system of
production and distribution will do
away with the necessity Of "Board
of Strategy"
Every one who keeps up with the
current literature Of the day knows
full well that the vast majority of the
people are looking and hoping for some
way out of our present fix. Most of
these people, while they have not had
experience enough TO understand our
philosophy, want exactly the same
thing that we want and will join us
the minute they can see that we pro
pose to do something definite that will
upbuild society.
The size of the task we have
set ourselves to, and our ever in
creasing numbers makes il necessar,
for us to bestir ourselves in planning
DEFINITELY our every move so tha
each one will count the most possible
in bringing about better society to
morrow.
To this end ! suggest the adoption
of a "Board of Industry" plank b,
our National convention, something
similar TO the following:
We advocate the appointing of
"Nstional Board Of Industry"
First: To plan for and aid in tn
further development and centraliza
tion of our industries, and
Second: To plan for and aid in tn
EXTENSION OF THE OWNERSHIP
of these industries TO THE who'll

socialism MUST BE CHECKED

President Faunce Of Brown Univer-
sity, successor to DIR. r. Benjamin
Andrews. utters a note of fear in his
Charter Day address to the graduating
class of the State University of Cali
fornia recently.
What do you think he fears He
sees looming up in the shodaws Of the
near future a dread shape, a moving
horror. He told the students of the
dire thing that he sees. He told them
elso of the "only escape"
What n it that terrifies President
Faunee The same thing that startles
Teddy the King like the writing on the
wall at Belshazzar s feast. The speeter
of today-socialism.
"To save the world from socialism,
says the terrified president of the cap
italist university, 1--WE must attain such
mutual understanding and sympathy
and social cooperation as would pre-
serve private initiative from the forces
that would throttle il. The only escape
from socialism founded on despair of
the individual, Is such social coherency
and cooperation as shall save the indi.
vidual alive and give him free de-
velopment."
OF course, President Faunee. What
is socialism IL IL is not social coherensy
and cooperation : The only escape
from Democracy, said jefferson, a hun,
dred years ago, is Democracy. The
only escape, says Faunce, from social
ism is social corporations in Other
words, the only escape from socialism
is socialism. That's capitalism's lat
est conslusion-and II happens to b,
right. Tho only cure for the dread
socialism that the covering capitalist
imagines he sees looming in the shade
is the socialism that the working class
when awakened, sees as a beacon light
on the hills. The only escape from 30
cialism is socialism. - william Nc
