New York, July pa. Barton Hep
burn, former comptroller of the cur
rency, who is just back in New York
from an extended Western trip, ex-
pressed the belief on his arrival here
that the reports which have been cir.
culated in Wall street of crop damage
and business stagnation in the West
are grossly exaggerated. He found
the general business situation good,
asserting that the only thing which
marred his optimism was the wild ex-
travagance in domestic economy. Mr..
Hepburn summed UP the situation as
he sees it in this wise:
However serious the crop losses
may be in certain isolated localities
the general statement remains true
that the crops of the country as
whole promise at the present time to
exceed in value any previous crops
produced. There is no occasion for
pessimism.
"That the business of the country
as whole is in good condition and
profitable is evidenced by the very
large volume of business. I am very
optimistic as to general business con.
ditions. The one thing that is radical
ly wrong is the wild extravaganza in
domestic economy, which unquestion-
ably exists throughout the country.
GAS a nation we have been spend
ing for the last two years more than
we earned. But there is not a sugges-
ton of crisis in the situation and
there is no reason why legitimate
commercial business should be in the
least disturbed

Chicago, July 29.-That Ira G..

practically certain at the first session
of the coroner's inquest.
Pinkerton detectives, hired by the
family to discover clues of the sup
posed murderer, admitted they had no
evidence to substantiate such theory
and that the shooting could not have
been accidental, because of a safety
clutch on the revolver.
Mrs. Rawn, the widow, declared for

mitted there was no evidence of the

Washington, July 30.-The enor.
