Effect is Small.

Memphis, Tenn.-Announcement Of
the suspension Of two banking insti-
tutions in New York had little effect
in financial circles there. The fact that
both institutions were known to have
been carried by the clearing house
banks through the serious panic times
was generally known, and their fail
ure to keep on their feet after they
were put on their feet is no surprise.
Bank examiners took active charge
of the affairs Of the New Amsterdam
National bank and the Mechanics and
Traders bank, state institution.
Both Of these banks were included in
the Morse-Heinz chain Of banks, and
after the closing of the National
Bank Of North America a few days
ago there had been what practically
amounted to runs upon them. Both
Of them were still unable to take up
their allotment Of the certificates
which the clearing house issued DUR
ing the stringency beginning in Oeto-
ber, and when the renewed drain upon
their resources began, the clearing
house authorities declined to further
extend their credit

Urgent Deficiency Bill,

The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill was passed by the house. The total
amount carried by it is $23;64,450 or
$401 900 less than as reported by the
committee. The largest single reduc-
ton was that of 100000 in the cloth
ing fund Of the army. When the ses-
sion was resumed, only few pages
Of the bill remained to be disposed of.
Included in these, was provision Of
the appointment Of 81 additional po-
licemen for, the new house office
building. Chairman Tawney urged The
provision because Of the necessity Tor
such costly governmnt prop
erty, and "of guarding the reputa-
ton and honor Of the members. Mr.
Mann, Illinois. opposed the provision
and it was stricken out on a point
Of order after considerable discussion.

Merchant Marine Needed.

The need of an American merchant
marine as an auxiliary to the navy,
formed the principal topic of discus
sion in the house Of representatives
during the consideration Of the urgent
deficient appropriation bill. The debate
was participated in by Mr.. Littlefield
Of Maine, who questioned the legality
of the provisions Of the bill appropri-
ating $1,000,000 to supply deficiency
for coal for the navy caused by the
transfer of the battlesiip fleet from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. He critl-
cised congress for its failure to make
appropriations for merchant marine.
His remarks elected from Mr.. Fitz
geald of New York the charge that
the Republican party was responsible
for that condition, while Mr.. Sherley,
Kentucky, maintained that the lack
Of merchant marine, "a national
disgrace" was due to Republican pol.
icfps.

The Rice Situation.

Louis c. Naisawald of New York,
leading rice broker spent two days
IN Crowley on his way home from his
annual trip through the Rice Belt, Dis
cusslng the rice situation, Mr.. Nalsa-
wald said: "The statistical position
OF rice is stronger today than l have
seen it before in years; in fact, it is
stronger than | have ever seen it be-
fore. Without bothering about what
the crop was, it is certain that there
is not enough rice on hand in Louisi-
ana and Texas to last to the new
crop. There can be no doubt that the
market will be entirely cleaned up be-
fore uly, and We shall enter the new
rice year without pocket Of rice OH
hand. When we remember that our
consumption has been steadily increas-
ing, and is already greater than the
production Of any one year, with the
possible exception Of 1903, 1t is ap-
parent that the prospects for good
prices next year are very bright. The
Texas mills are pretty well cleaned up,
and | find that the same can be said
of Louisiana. Little has been done in
either state toward preparing for the
new crop. There has been a little
blowing to some extent i'll the m nm
plowing in eas Texas, but SO far as
| can learn none in Louisiana. This
is because Of the wet weather. Texas
has had as much rain as Louisiana,
but the Texans are doing their plowlng
to some extent in the mud. The rice
industry looks to me to be in fine
shape his year. There seems to be
no possible chance Of the production
end being overdone, and the marketing
end is in the strongest position in
years.

was held by the court to bea danger
Gus lunatic, and was whirled away to
the state hospital for the criminal in-
sane at Matteawan.
1t was a quick transition from the
dingy little cell in the Tombs, which
has been the young mans home for
more than eighteen months, to the
white bedded wards Of the big asylum
tucked away on the snow covered,
sloping banks Of the Hudson, fifty
miles above the city. The verdict came
after twenty-five hours of waiting
and when every one connected with
the case had abandoned all hope Of an
agreement.
Four hours after the foreman s lips
had framed the words, "Not guilty.
with the accompanying insanity,
clause, Thaw, protesting he was sane,
was on his way to Matteawan. A lit
tie after nightfall, he had been re-
ceived in the institution under COM
mitment papers which directed his de-

No more unwilling patient ever
made a journey to a state institution.
Thaw's train on its way to Flshklll
Landing, where a carriage was taken
to Matteawan, passed beneath the
very walls of grim Sing Sing, but at
no time since his arrest on the night
of June %, 1906. had the young Pitts
burg millionaire ever held the thought
that he would see the inside Of that
famous prison, and he needed it not.
The first thrill Of the words Of ac-
quittal brought Thaw to his feet IN
the court room and with the lack OF
grace of action which always had char
acterized his movements, he awkward
ly almost haughtily, bowed his ac-
knowledgements to the twelve jury
men as they were discharged by the
court. A smile played about his pal
lid features and there was every rea-
son to believe that he was entirely.
pleased with the outcome.
1t was after he had heard the words
Of Justice Dowling, committing him to
Matteawan on the ground that his re-
lease, in the opinion of the court,
would endanger the public safety and
after the elation of the verdict had
died away, that Thaw rebellea.
He commanded his attorneys lmme-
diately ito sue out writ of habeas
corpus to have his sanity tested before
he was sent away to the institution
where the insane of criminal tenden-
cies were confined. Mrs. William
Thaw, from her hotel, joined in the
demand of her son. Martin w. Little
ton. whose conduct Of the ease as chief
counsel Of the defendant, has won so
much favorable comment, finally pre-
vailed against the wishes of the moth
er. indicating to her her that he bellev

to obey the mandate of the court.
