TlONAL CITY BANK.
LATE E. H. HARRIMAN'S PLACE
Alliance of Nations Largest Finan-
cial Institutions Is Regarded as a
Compromise Between the Two
Great Groups of American Bankers.

New York;. P. Morgan, Jr., was
elected TO the late e. H. Harriman's
place on the board of directors of
the National City bank. By Wall
street the election is regarded as one
of the most significant of the weeks
financial developments, presumably
indicating that harmonious relations
exist between the Morgan and the
Kuhn-Loeb-Sta Oil groups of
financiers.
Added weight was given the event
because it followed so closely upon
the recent reports that the Morgan
interests were about to take an ac-
tive interest in the government of
the Hartman roads and that the
younger Morgan was slated as the
ultimate successor of Mr.. Hartman
in the command of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific systems.
The National City bank, the larg-
est of the nations financial institu-
tions, is controlled by the Kuhn-Loeb
and Standard Oil interests, which as
sumed a commanding position, for
the time being at least in the exec
utive committee of the Union Pacif.
ic. George w. Perkins of the firm
of j. P. Morgan & Co. is already a
director of the bank, and the addi-
tional recognition given the firm was
taken by many in the financial dis
trict to mean not merely the exist
ence of an entente cordiale.n but
the consummation of an active work
ing alliance between the two great
groups of American financiers.
The National City bank, deferred
to by the general public as the
Standard Oil bank" has resources
aggregating more than s300,00000O,
while the First National, known as
the Morgan bank" has resources ap-
proximating s150,000,00O.

Tho self-styled Maitland laid his hand
in a protecting gesture over the
fingers on his arm; and pressed them
cruelty. '1 think we will go up, thank
you. II Bannerman's not in, l can
phone him. I've a pass-key."
The watchman appeared satisfied;
Maitland's social standing was guar
anty enough.
"All right, sir. Step in"
The girl made one final effort to
hang back. Anisty's brows blaekened.
"By Godi" he told her in whisper.
"If you dare !"
And somehow she found herself at
his side in the steel cage, the gates
clang ringing loud in her ears. The
motion of the car shooting upwards
with rapidly increasing speed made
her slightly giddy Despite Anisty's
supporting arm she reeled back
against the wall of the cage, closing
her eyes. The man observes this with
covert satisfaction.
AS the speed decreased she began
to feel slightly stronger; and again
opened her eyes. The floor numbers,
black upon a white ground, were
steadily slipping down; the first she
recognized being 10. The pace was
sensibly decreased. Then with
slight jar the elevator stopped at %.

The car dropped like plummet,
leaving them in darkness-or rather
in thick gloom but slightly mod
Grated by the moonlight streaming in
at windows at either end of the cor

roughly.
"Now, my lady! No sk,nnanigan!"
A futile, superfuous reminder. Tenn
porarily at least she was become as
wax in his hands. So complex had
been the days emotions, so severe her
nervous tension, so heavy the tax
upon her stamina, that she had lapsed
into state of subjective conscious
ness, in which she responded without
purpose, almost dreamily to the sug-
gestions of the stronger will.
YEARLY she stumbled up the two
brief flights of stairs leading to the
tower-like eupola of the sky-seraper;
two floors superimposed upon the roof
with scant excuse save that of giving
the building the distinction of being
the loftiest in that section of the city

touch of architectural beauty to the

she heard him working at the lock

touched an electric switch, flooding
the room with light, and motioned the

WAREHOUSE BURNS.
StOrerO0m of Miller Brewing Co.
Destroyed by Fire Saturday
Loss $4,000, Insurance $1,000.

Saturday morning at 1870 o'clock
the storehouse of the Miller Brewing
Company of Milwaukee, near the
Merchants Wholesale Grocer Co.,
was discovered afire and before the
Fire Department could respond the
entire building was wrapped in flames.
Fortunately there was no wind
and about all the fire boys could
do was to prevent any spread to
adjoining buildings. Several bar
rels of whiskey exploded with loud
reports and added fuel to the flames.
With the exception of the large ice
chest the building was totally des-
troyed, together with stock esti-
mated at $4,000 value, carrying about
$1,000 of insurance. A carload of
jugs just stored were also lost, but
a quantity of keg beer in the chest
was saved as also some in bottles
that did not burst. r. B. Dantzier,
the local agent, is at loss to ac-
count for the fire. No one had been
in the house for several hours pre-
vious and this led some to think the
fire was of incendiary origin. The
officers, however, after diligent effort
were unable to find any evidence that
the building had been set on FIRE.
