Term Expires March 80 and Mayor
Breitmeyer Will Not Reappoint
Him; Discipline Rigid.

The next appointment to be made
by Mayor Breitmeyer will be that of
a fire commissioner TO succeed Fred
T. Moran, whose term expires March
80. AS Moran Is a Democrat and has
held ONCE two terms. it is extremely
unlikely that he will be asked to
serve another He is business man
OF varied interests. and the fire COM
missionersh.E E-ss merely an honorary,
position.
Nevertheless. Moran has given so
great a part Of his time and interest
to the fire department that he has
been the dominating figure on the
commission. His ideas Of discipline
have been rigid, with the result that
he Is not entirely popular with the
rank OF file of the department.
Mayor Breitmeyer will not, commit
himself as to the appointment which
he will make during March.
II seems altogether likely that
Mayor Breitmeyer will make no

ton Is the retiring commissioner, but
his work has been 30 good that II is

TWO FIRMS FAIL
IN WALL-ST. CRASH
Lathrop, Haskins & Co. and J. M.
Fiske & Co. Suspend-Hocking
Coal Stock Breaks 30 Points.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.--The big
stock exchange firm of Lathrop, Has
kins q Coz went down with q crash
today when Hooking Coal and Iron
stock, which for the past few days
has been under pressure, broke fifty
points TO 81. The result has been o
decidedly uneasy feeling In Wall
street and most of tho big interests
are personally watching the market.
1t Is runiorec that q sensational break
in many lines Is impending and con-
ditions on the exchange are extremely
panicky.
The market opened today feverish
and unsettled, many Of the closely
held specialties being under pressure.
There was sharp drive on the Haw-
ley issues. which put Chesapeake and
Ohio on full three points; Missouri
Kansas and Texas a point; Reading
three points and all of the railr Dads
and industrials gave way under the
enormous pressure caused by food
of selling orders. Finally support be-
came evident and the list appeared
to be rallying when Hooking Valley
was smashed right and left by a num-
ber OF prominent brokerage houses.
Down crumbled the price and when
the quotations had fallen fifty points
the announcement came that Lathrop,
Haskins & Co. had failed. This was
followed few minutes later by the
announcement that the Arm OF ]. M.
Fiske & Co. had also gone to the wall
and pandemonium ensued. general
selling taking place all over the room.
1t was tho big drop that had been
forecasted for weeks. and for time
the bears were in full control.
The Lathrop firm was organized on
Feb. 8, 1900. l.. G. Lathrop. It's form
er president. who died In 1907, was
for a long time vice-president OF the
Columbus and Hooking Valley Coal
and Iron CO. The defunct firm con-
sisted OF Henry Stanley. the board
member. and Henry 8. Leverich and
Fanny Graves Lathrop. The reason
for their failure was the reaction In
Hooking Valley which. from a low
level OF 81 3-S less than year ago.
had been forced up until on Dec. 81
last, II was quoted at 81 1-2. At the
office no statement was made, IL be-
Ing declared no announcement regard
Ing liabilities and assets was possible
at this time.
Elsewhere It was stated that some
one. whose identity was not estab-
lished. began selling Columbus and
Hooking Coal and Iron short this
morning. the firm stood under II as
long as II was able. and then gave 1t
up. II Is reported In the street that
the banks refused to advanced fur
ther money on this stock. and also
called some of the loans that had been
made. The resources OF the pool that
has been supporting the shares were
taxed TO the limit and finally the pool
managers decided they could hold the
stock no longer
The suspension OF the firm OF j. M.
Fiske q Co. was also said to be due
TO the break In Hooking Valley stock
although none OF the members OF the
firm were connected officially with the
company.

PRISON DOORS
CLOSE ON WALSH
Convicted Banker of Chicago Ar.
rives at Leavenworth at Noon
Wednesday.
MISS MARJORIE GOULD.

LEAVENWORTH, Kas.. Jan. 1s.--
John r. Walsh, convicted Chicago
banker. entered the federal peniten-
tiary at 1906 o'clock this afternoon
to begin serving his five-year term for
misappropriating funds of his Chicago
banks.
The last hope that Walsh's friends
had for the averting OF his sentence
disappeared last night when Judge
Arthur l.. Sanborn, OF Madison, Wis,
who started for Chicago yesterday aft
ernoon. supposedly to issue a writ Of
habeas corpus, arrived In the city and
failed to issue the document.
Judge Sanborn reached here two
hours after the Walsh train had de-
parted and IL was announced later by
District Attorney Sims that the jurist
had come TO the city on patent case
and did. not intend TO interfere in the
journey of Walsh to Leavenworth.
Aboard the train. as II left for the
trip TO Kansas Walsh was as game as
ever. His first thought was Of din
ner. remarking that he had not lost
his appetite. He was even impatient
because there was a slight delay in
the starting of the train. AS the
changing of the engine announced tha,
Chicago was about TO be left behind.
Walsh said: I'm glad it's all over.
Two years ago today l was convicted
and ever since that day I've been
fighting hard to prove the injustice or
that act Now that I've failed. 1t does
not prove that I'm guilty OF any wrong
doing 1t looks as IL I've lost. but
man may just .as we'll be a good loser.
I'm feeling fine for l know I've fought
q game battle"
