WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN?

In other words who and what caus-
ed the panic of 1907? Mr. Alexander
d. Noyes, financial editor of the New
York Evening post, and one of the
soundest writer's of the country on
finance, in an address before the Har-
ward seminary of economies, offered
answer to the question. He began by
taking up the three explanations of
which much was heard in and after
the panic: That President Roosevelt
caused it; that the currency system
caused it, and that reckless banking
was the cause. He examines each of
these in turn and dismisses them.
The Roosevelt policy WAS made effec-
tive by the rate law in 1906, a year
before the panic. When the panic
came England advanced millions of
dollars On the strength of American
securities, the slump in which was
charged upon the president.
The currency was no different from
what it was in former panics, such as
that of '73 and '93, but there was not
the insecurity felt in 1907 in the sol
vency of our currency that there was,
with cause, in the two prior panics.
No man felt that his greenback or
bank note was insecure. As to reck-
less banking he admits that there
was much of it and that it played no
inconsiderable part, but no more than
it had in other panics, and it could
not have been the melting cause be-
cause it was fully exposed in the in
vestigations made by commissions
and committees, the insurance cases
for instance, long before the panic.
Having disposed of the three causes
commonly given, Mr.. Noyes turned to
see if there were not wider causes,

minds us that in that year of 1907 "a
really formidable credit crisis occurred
in at least four foreign cities situated
in four separate continents" In May

eliminated and London hurried cur

gency gold shipments to this country

time japanese banks were failing and
industry suspended. In October q

and credit in Chile came to stand
still. And simultaneously two great

is being reduced. Treasurer Johnson

had not been touched: not a penny of
it. South Dakota is in a sound condi-

The bill now before the Legislature
which seeks to compel the railroads
to install and maintain track scales at
every station where an agent is en-
ployed is not bad measure. Such
track scales would be a source of
satisfaction to shippers, and in many
cases a guarantee against loss. The
maximum rate of % cents for weigh
ing cars is not exorbitant, but prob
ably very reasonable fee from the
viewpoint of both shipper and carrier

The attempt to secure a change in
the statutes which will allow a three.
fourths vote of a jury TO render q
verdict in civil cases is approved by
most attorneys, and also quite gener,
ally by the public. There is no good
reason why the judgement of single
juror should be allowed to out weigh
the judgement of he eleven who are
often the more competent TO judge
than is the one stubborn individual
Also such a law would make it more
difficult to ''fix" a jury by simply
securing one man. As a matter OF
fact, justice in criminal cases would
stand as good show if the three
fourths rnle should apply in criminal
as well as civil cases.

believing that such an event would
have the effect of pntting an end to

tina, the fac,ional fight in this state

April 15.-There was quite an obvious distribution of stocks today and the selling to realize prof its kept the tenor of the market un- settled and irregular and made con siderable inroads on prices in the general list. The selling was con- ducted with caution and skill with view to cause as little an effect on prices as possible. The bear con tingent tried to push the decline in prices and take the market away from the sellers. By bidding up Reading second preferred suddenly and violently there was revived the old report of the intention to use the privilege to exchange that stock half for first preferred and half for common stock.

SETTLED OLD GRUDGE
 WITH A ST|lETTO
Bartolo CarmeIo Stabs Countryman m Front of the Casino.

A stabbing scrape so quietly con ducted that even passefsby did not know of it's occurrence occurred late yesterday at the door of the Casino sa- loon. The principal actors in the affair were all Mexicans.
 The aggressor in the affair was Bar tolo Carmelo, a young Mexican who was d resident of this city. but who for some time past has been in Santa Fe- Having an old grudge to satisfy is the only motive that can be assigned to his murderous assault upon Pedro Ladas.
 According to the story of the few by islanders who had any knowledge or the affair, CarmelO entered the saloon where Ladas, with two of his brothers, was taking some refreshments and i'm mediately became involved in quarrel with Pedro. The belligerents came to blows when the brothers of the wounded man interfered and Carmelo left the saloon. Just outside the door he waited and when Pedro Ladas came out he stabbed him in the breast with a long thin bladed knife much like the Italian stiletto and without wait ing to see the result of his assault he took to flight and has not since been seen. Ladas was able to walk back into the uilding. The wound was bad one and was bleeding copiously. A doctor was called and the wounded man was removed to his home.
 The police were notified, but upon their arrival there was no trace of the man who had committed the assault, and as the crime had not been witnessed by any of the officers the brothers of Ladas went to swear out a warrant for Carmelo. Consid- erable time was wasted by them in securing the warrant and the time that elapsed before the sheriffs office was apprised of the assault was suf- ficient to allow Carmelo to place q long distance between him and any possible pursuers. Since the wound inflicted is very dangerous one, there being a possibility of it's re- sulting fatally. every effort will be made to locate the offenders.
 Barto Carmelo, the knife wielder, Is described as being twenty-two years old. five feet ten inches in height. and slim built, weighing about 14O pounds. He has black hair and mustache, and wore a black hat sort shirt and black clothes. Accompany ing him was another Mexican, whose first name is Pedro, who is stocklly built, pock- marked and of dark com plexion. This man wore a white shirt. black trousers and small brown hat. Any information regard ing either of these men should be immediately turned in to the sheriff office
