WEEK OF DISORDER IN
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Various Causes for Decline in
Securities

NEW YORK. June 2o.-The vulner-
able position into which stock specu-
lation had run left it open TO the effect
of number of factors last week
precipitated a sharp reaction and more
signs of disorder in the liquidation
than had been seen since the cut in
steel prices in February broke, the
market
Large responsibility for this was as
signed to the course of the plan to Sc
cure admission of United States steel
to the Paris bourse.
Estimates of the rapid depletion of
the surplus stocks OF refined copper
have been a factor in the speculation
in the copper industrials.
The culpability admitted in form By
the American sugar refining company
in the compromise of the suit against
! 1T by the Pennsylvania sugar refinin &
company, which invited the entrance
into the matter Of the government
prosecuting officers and promised to
suggest new methods In seeking Hhe
enforcement of laws against corpora
tons, was another subject that doomed
upon the speculative attention.
Money rates were not greatly altered
during the week, but the large trans
actions in progress made additional re-
quirements for credits and were sus-
pected to have some io<cult influence.

Man Who Hurled Lie at David Starr Jordan
Flippant Over Latter's Theories

'Of DR.. Jordans theories of war and
peace 1 have nothing to say. Before I
would care to argue with him over
some of his literature"
Then, with a twinkle, the French
professor added: And some others.
Undoubtedly some Others"
The professor continued: My OBJ
lection was not to DR.. Jordans views
on this generic subject, but to the care
less language he used in expressing
himself He had been talking of the
harmful influences of war, and then,
after short pause, illustrated his
views by calling attention to France,
which he termed not "a decadent ma
tion,' as was reported, but a 'self-con-
fessed degenerate nation
JORDAN'S EXPLANATION
Now I had no intention of confess
ing anything of the kind and / i'm
mediately objected and left the hall 1
later learned that DR.. Jordan in using
the term degenerate meant to say that
the average physical stature of the
French was lesser now than what it
was formerly. II this is correct / think
it would have been better if he had
made his explanations prior to using
the term. / have noticed that it is a
very common trait in some men to say
or do certain things and when trouble
arises come forth with an explanation.
Had he explained what he meant by
the term before using it I would have
swallowed the pill, though, I admit, II
would have been bitter one
After all the trouble is over do
not care to retract or apologize for my
conduct, and l do not believe any man
with a proper respect for himself and
for his country would deem it neces-
sary for me TO apologize. Perhaps the
only pleasing feature of the episode
was the hearty support I received not
alone from the French of this country,
but from several Americans for taking
the stand / did"
Professor Foulet was educated at the
Ecole hormale superieure and the Sor-
bonnie in Paris. He has been in the
United States nine years, all of which
he spent of professor of French at
Bryn Mawr college.

Before I take issue with DIR. David
Starr Jordan over his theories of peace
and war it would be we'll for me to
Iy, some Others"
SO spoke Professor Lucien Foulet, re-
Gently appointed to the chair of French
language and literature at the state
university. and who arrived in Berke-
ley yesterday to take up his new
duties The statement was in refer
ence TO Foulet's spectacular denuncia-
ton of Jordan at the commencement
exercises of Bryn Mawr college, when
the latter delared France to be a
''decadent'' nation.
Foulet's attitude TO Jordan personal
ly is serious and respectful; to his
theories Of the nations, f1ippant and
amusing. The general tone of his con-
versation is that Jordan was a wise
scholar with tendency TO become
careless of his words when enthused OF
emphatic.
Theories" said Foulet, will ever
remain theories. and DR.. Jordan has a
right TO have as many of them as he
likes but every theory has its counter
theory, particularly on a generic sub
ject such as produced the-er-late un-
pleasantness. And, of course, every
theoriest in his heart of hearts believes
the other man needs correction.
THEORIES OF WAR
I'm this instance DIR. Jordan holds
that war takes off the best stock in q
nation. Others hold that the weaker
members of society perish in warfare
and that the fittest survive, the claim
being that the greater number Of those
who lose their lives in war do so from
sickness and disease brought about BY
the rigors of war rather than by the
bullets of the enemy. Now, who is tt
decide the question? You can argue
right around the subject and at the
conclusion find yourself travelling in &
circle, like little puppy dog chasing
its own tail DR.. Jordan believes he Is
right: the other fellow believes himself
right, and while ! greatly admire al
efforts to better humanity and elini-
nate war l certainly do not intend t.
find peace by. going TO war with any
body, certainly not with DIR. Jordan.

HEROISM OF MAGDALENS
IN DAYS OF EPIDEMIC
Memphis Reared Monuments 10
Memory of Brave Women

In Elmwood cemetery. Memphis, are
two notable monuments to women.
Both were erected by public subscrip-
ton and mark the resting places of an
gels OF mercy. who were regarded as
unclean until the yellow fever epidemic
OF 1873. When that terrible scourge
fell upon the city the Magdalens sent
the inmates OF their houses to the
north, opened their doors to homeless
people who fell i'll. and nursed them
with devoted heroism until they them
selves succumbed to the disease.
One OF the monuments. which repre-
sents an angel bestowing a crown,
bears this epitaph:
Matte Stephenson.
The Martyr:
She died for us October Is. 1873.
The epitaph upon the other monu-
ment reads:
Emily sutton.
A victim Of the epidemic.
Died October T. 1873.
Let sweet faced memory plead for her
who calmly sleens beneath this sod
Nor erring man in pride usurp
The province OF her judge-her God.
No one knows who these two women
were or where they originally came
from. They were human derelicts-
drifting about LIES ocean. Both were
supposed 10 be from the north, and
lived In Louisville before coming to
Memphis. At the time OF their death
which was toward the close Of the most
appalling period in the history of the
city when half the population fed in
fNFht and not enough were left to
nurse the sick and bury the dead, their
bodies were hastily deposited in the
common burial ground. But after nor
nal conditions were restored, and the
physicians. sisters OF charity and others
who had remained through the sum-
ner. told the story Of their heroism and
devotion, a fund was raised by sub
scription. lots were purchased in the
best part OF the best cemetery their
remains were transferred and these
monuments were erected.-Washingto

KING EDWARDS
PHYSICIAN

Mr.. Frank A. Fisher. a businessman
of 7s7 Congress street. Boston. Mass.
is at the St. Francis. He was telling
w. ]. O'Brien OF 213 Sansome street,
about his recovery from diabetes. He
thought it was quite remarkable that
he should have overcome this disease
which is universally ciassed as incur
able.
His surprise may be imagined when
Mr.. Fred Jay Chase, cigar dealer OF
21S Sansome street. made the state
nent that a friend of his. a we'll To
Go businessman OF this city. had gone
TO Europe for treatment in an effort
to control a likewise incurable case
(Bright's disease). To illustrate the
heroic EFFORTS made to control the dis
ease he stated that the patient was in
one of the London hospitals several
months and had the advice of King
Edwards physician. The treatment. as
usual. failed. and the patient came back
TO San Francisco. where he heard OF
FuIton's Renal Compound, made re-
covery. and is now ready TO again en-
gage in business
Fisher was already profoundly i'm
pressed by his own recovery under Full
tons Disbetic Compound. and as he
related The above incident he could
not withhold his Advertisements that the
whole world does not know OF this
treatment.
Fishers physician in Boston Is the
famous DR.. l. A. Cliff, who has noted
Fishers recovery. and the latter gives
It as his belief that this noted ply

Word has come from Philadelphia
that a physician at the head OF one
of the largest institutions OF that city
has had recoveries under this treat

ATTY VICTIMS OF
IMT[RURbAN WRECK
Ten Killed aud Forty Injured
When Cars Crash in
Indiana
Disobedience of Orders by Mo-

SOUTH BEND, Ind, June 20-Ten
persons were killed and 70 injured in
a wreck on the Chicago, Lake Shore
and South Bend railway in Porter
county, Ind, last night, two of the big
electric cars colliding head on.
According to General Manager III.
L. wallace, the wreck was due to
disoberience of orders by Motorman
George A Reed, who was killed. Reed
was instructed to wait at Wilson, a
short distance west of Baileytown, the
place of the disaster, Tor the west
bound car. He did not do so and the
cars crashed together
The eastbound, running as train No.
SO, it is stated, was going at a rate
of SO miles an hour. to make up lost
time. The eastbound car was tele-
scoped and almost entirely wrecked
In this train were all of the killed
and most of the injured. Rescue work
soon was started, but darkness greatly
interfered.
W. H Parry, of Gary, Ind, was
among the first to realize the extent
of the catastrophe. The arm of a man
lay near him IN the sand which aroused
DEATH IN SMOKER
All but one of the killed were in
the, smoking compartment of the car

room, was fitted UP for the use oil
the smokers and was crowded. Super
intendent WEIGH of the Interurban line
was in Michigan City when the ac-
cident occurred.
When he learned of the collision he
also discovered that it would be i'm
possible to run electric cars to the
scene because the trolley wires had
been broken. Three physicians were
sent in a gasoline traction speeder
and three more dispatched as soon as
possible in an automobile.
When the physicians reached the
place. they found a score of farmers
and villagers endeavoring to care for
the wounded and to extricate the dead
and dying. They were working under
difficulties, the only light being fur
nished by a few lanterns. All around

the wreck lay the injured. covered
with blankets brought from nearby
homes.
HERO OF THE WRECK
One OF the heroes of the wreck was
C. A. Simmons of Benton Harbor, Mich.
He lost consciousness Immediately
after the collision. When he recovered
his senses he was lying in the sand
near ditch. Both OF his legs were
broken, but when DR.. Axe of Michigan
City reached him and rendered surgi-
cal aid he refused it, instrpcting the
physician to give his time to others
more seriously injured than he.
My legs are broken he said, but
my head Is all right and 1 guess /
can stand 1t for awhile
Mrs. Guy Stutzman of Mishawaka,
who suffered from deep cash In the

year old baby at the time of the sc-
cident, but the infant escaped with

TAFT CONFfRS WITH
SENATE LEADERS
Discussion on Proposed Cor
poration Tax Shows Alb
s0lute Harmony
Presidents Plans for income
Tax Will Also Be
Adopted

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Presideht
Taft entertained at dinner tonight the
republican members OF the senate
finance committee and Senator Root.
and there followed a conferences on the
proposed tax on the net earnings Of
corporations
On account of the absence of Sec
rotary Knox and Attorney General
Wickersham little was accomplished
beyond general discussion. This left
no doubt that the president and the
senate leaders are In absolute harmony
and entirely favor the corporation
earnings tax.
Wickersham- will meet with the
president. Knox and Root tomorrow.
The proposed amendment will then be
ORA fled and sent to Senator Aldrich
for presentation to the senate.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
the amendment will apply 70 all cor
porations without regard to their capt.
tai stock. 1t is likely. however, that
the tax will apply only to earnings in
excess of $4,000 ayear.
Another important feature related 10
! the interest on bonds of corporations.
| The consensus of opinion was that the
tax should not apply to such interest
for the reason that in many cases Il
would amount TO double taxation. Par
ticuIarly would this be true of savings
banks which hold the bonds OF corpora
tons. At the same time the senators
told President Taft that it would be
necessary to find some way to preevnt
corporations from so manipulating thsiI
stocks and bonds to eyade the tax.
Senator AlGrich told the president a ?
per cent tax on the earnings of corpora
1 tions would produce about 0.000 O0C
revenue annually.
Several senators who attended the
dinner stated tonight that the corpora
tion and income tax would be adopted
