HENRY CLEW's OBJECTIONS
To Central Bank and Postal Savings
Bank Told at Boston.

Boston, Jan. 19.-Opposing a central ma
tional bank as possible and probable
gigantic financial combination which
might endanger if not overturn our re-
publican institutions and condemning
postal savings banks as increasing federal
employees, federal patronage and paternal-
ism, Henry Clews. the New York banker,
tonight addressed the Boston Chapter of
the American Institute of Banking upon
the subject of Reasons Against a Cen
trail National Bank and Postal Savings
Banks"
Declaring that there was no need for a
central national bank and that the two
previous attempts had been failures, Mr.
Clews maintained that the influence of
such a bank would be more far reaching,
universal and despotic than anything in
banking and practical finance than the
money power had yet developed in this
country and would give tremendous and
dangerous power to speculative and polt-
zeal interests. OF the postal savings banks
he says:
Postal savings banks would involve an
increase of many thousands in the num-
Der of federal employees, which would
spondngly increase federal patron
age and paternalism and develop another
political machine to influence elections, so
that in time we should be in danger of
having government largely chosen by
officeholders."

Smashing Of Columbus & Hooking Pool
On New York Exchange Causes Sus-
pension Of J. M. Fisk & Co. and
Lathrop, haSkins & Co.

New York, Jan. 19.-There was an
episode on the New York Stock EX
change today more sensational in many
respects than the recent Rock Island
fiasco. After break Of more than so
points, the called Columbus G. Hook
ing Coal &, Iron pool was smashed, two
Stock Exchange houses we're forced to
suspend and the market generally I'M
dcrwent severe declines, involving the
heaviest trading since the day of Ed
ward II Harriman's death. Total sales
aggregated 1854, 800 shares. A rigid
inquiry by the governors of the FIX
change will probably be the aftermath.
1t was reported tonight that two 9TH
er Stock Exchange firms would be
forced to suspend tomorrow. 1t was
expected in some quarters that the
failure Of the two additional firms
would b" announced before the market
closed and there was talk of the filing
Of a third petition in bankruptcy, but
this was not done up to the close of the
United States district court.
The firms involved are J. NJ. Fisk
&, Co., of AZ Broadway and Lathrop,
Haskins & CO., of 60 Broadway. The
failures We're caused by the collapse
Of the pool and involuntary petitions
in bankruptcy were filed against both
firms this afternoon. In the case of
J. NJ F'iske & CO.. the liabilities of of
the firm are placed by creditors at
$150,000, with assets OF 100000. Coun
sci for the firm, however, estimated the
firms liabilities at $2,500,000 at the
close of business on Tuesday afternoon,
with assets of $2,900,000. He did not
estimate the firms financial resources
after today's events. In the petition
against the firms creditors alleged the
preferential transfer Of property to one
or more creditors and further charged
that the alleged banbrupts permitted
a considerable portion OF their proper
ty ito be concealed or removed. with
intent to hinder, delay and defraud
creditors"

district court, appointed q receiver to-
night.
Assets and liabilities are not stated
in the petition filed against Lathrop,
Haskins & CO., although it is alleged
that the claims of creditors on stock
accounts aggregate $4,000. Admission
of insolvency is also alleged. No re-
cciver had been appointed for this firm
tonight.
The collapse in the pool today was
brought about primarily by the refusal
of banks to make further advances on
the stock as collateral and the inability
or failure of those who We're long of it
to make good impaired margins. The
suspension of the two firms most vital
y concerned was therefore a natural
result. Several individuals are also
said to have lost heavily. In all about
43,000,000 shares of Columbus q Hook
ing changed hands at range Of from
$50 to 25. The stock closed at 80, a
net loss of 5414 points. The entire
market closed weak with prices at low
ebb
With the collapse of the pool there
We're reports of an Immediate investi-
cation into the operations by the Stock
Exchange authorities. This was Off
cially denied but it seems likely that
circumstances will force the exchange
to take some cOgnizance of the mat
ter In fact, some Of the principals of
the pool We're before the governors
during the day and a statement dealing
authoritatively with the matter will
probably be issued tomorrow.
According to common belief James
H. keene was active in the market
movement of Columbus & Hooking.
MI. keene could not be found at his
office, but some of his associates said
mat the keenc interests in that stocl.

Or. Sanborn So Swears at Saco-..
Disposition Of Case Today.

Biddeford, Ne, Jan. 19.-Fred F.
Rankin of Kennebunk was arraigned
in the supreme court in Saco today on
the charge of manslaughter in causing
the death of Mrs. Della Littlefield, his
housekeeper, at Kennebunk on July Z
last. The crime was the result of a
row between Rankin and Mrs. Little.
field the details Of which have never
been fully cleared up. The man and wo-
man were found by the roadside about
10 O'Clock at night, locked in death
grip. After being separated the woman
vas taken to a private house, where
she died six days later without recov-
ering consciousness.
Rankin was taken to the Weber
hospital he expressed sorrow for what
had occurred. He was indicted at the
September term Of the supreme court
following, and a plea of not guilty by
reason Of insanity was entered. The
court committed him to the Insane hos
pital at Augusta for observation. from
which place he was brought to Saco.
last night. DIR. Bigelow II. SanbOrn of
the hospital came with him and it is
understood that the hospital physicians
think the man is responsible.
Attorney General Philbrook of Wa
terville is assisting the county attorney
in the trial of the case, and John G.
Smith of Saco appears as principal
counsel for Rankin. The trial was be-
fore a drawn jury, one man of which,
Seth Emmons of Kennebunk, was OBJ
iected to, for the reason that he had
formed an opinion and had heard the
case discussed. The case will probably
eonsume the greater part of two days.
Rankins appearance is that of a
man rather simple minded, diffident
| md awkward in bearing. His physical
appearance is good and his bodily
/ health is apparently good He was Sc
wrely injured in the fight with his
husekeeper and it was feared for a
time that he would not survive.
rpon the testimony of Supt. Bigelow T.
anborn of the State Insane hospital at
Augusta. Rankin could not have been in
4 A condition mentally to realize what he
vas doing at the time of the crime. Judge
| Spear ordered the jury to return YER
Dict of mot guilty by reason of insan-
it." This was done. Further disposition
| Of Rankin will be decided tomorrow.
Mr.. Sanborn also stated that it was not
safe to leave Rankin at large. that he is
wceedingly weak and diseased and that
There is no possible cure for his condition.

MORE DISSATISFACTION
With 6-Hour Law-North Village
Mills at Webster, Mass, Closed.

Webster, Mass, Jan. 19-Loss of two
hours pay because of the new 56-hour
law led to the closing today of the North
Village cotton mills of the S. Slater &
Sons Corporation. Upwards of 1000 oper-
atives are idle.
A small strike occurred at the mills
last week and yesterday 200 girls went
out, making it inexpedient to keep the
machinery in operation.
The weavers are more or less dissatis-
fed and think they should have an ad-
vance of 10 per cent.
The Slater Corporation was owned by
the late millionaire Horatio Nelson Sla-
ter. The widow, Mrs. Mabel Hunt Sla-
ter, of Milton, is the principal owner at
the present time.
