 MT. Lewis calmly marched the native to vacant ground behind the building and shot him dead He then surrendered himself and was charged with murder. but was releaced on Sl5,000 bail. Public sub scriptions were rendered for his bail while he was in court. but were not required.
 Public feeling in "clawayo seems entire ly in MT Lewis'I ,or. and difficulty is expected in gel any jury to convict him.

 Indignation meetings were afterwards held in the district. The culprt was ar rested and 150 armed mounted farmers assembled outside Bergvile at midnight and demanded the surrender of the pris- oner. The police. being forewarned, had removed the native to Ladysmith.
 The foregoing cases and others are fore ing the whole problem on public attention, and while the public generally Is opposed to lynchings 1t is feared that the ten dency in that direction will be danger ously increased unless ordinary lawful measures soon place check on what is regarded as a growing menace.

Wall street has decided that the Stanley investigation into the Steel corporation Is being conducted more for the manufacture of political capital for 1912 than with any desire to get into the real true inward ness of the corporation's affairs. The street noted with a smile that the com mittee made no attempt to follow up sev
 eral inviting leads in the testimony of Judge Gary and other officials of the cor poration. For instance. it displayed no curiosity whatever as to how the s129,- co0'ooo worth of common and preferred stock, which Judge Gary admitted w-~ taken hy J. P. Morgan & Co.,, was used That N29.ooo.000 of stock was 12R per cent or the total capitalization, which IS quite grab even in these days of big commissions on corporation promotion
 Everybody in Wall street knows that it was taken and used to make a market for Steel corporation stock. when it was showed out upon a deluded public. There was some uncertainty to how the pub lie would take the gigantic incorporation and $2oo.0oo,oo0 underwriting syndicate was formed. This syndicate was drawn upon for an initial and only assessment of s25000.0c0 which is understood to have been placed at the disposal of MT James R. Keene to make a market for the stock on the stock exchange The underwriters made $60,0o0,0o0 on their S25.- Ol0090
 The glamour of the great names in the directory and otherwise connected with the corporation caught the publcs fancy and made MT. Keenes job easy, al- though at times he had about all he could do to take care of the masses of stocks Jumped upon him by insiders. The great sucker public, however, came noby to the front and took the stock at prices rang ing from 55 down to 10. On one sharp break the market broke to S5 but it was quickly worked up to about 50. It was the most brilliant campaign ever witnessed on the stock exchange and extended through the greater part of year. When the in- siders had converted all they wanted to of their stocks into cash, the market be- gan to go down and in 1905 and 1904 com mon was selling under 20. the inside figure touched being just under 9.

There is greater breadth to the stock market than for some time past. A longer list of securities is being traded in, and generally the buyers are taking the initia- tive. This is not the case with some of the pooled stocks, however. In several cases where manipulation or natural causes have advanced prices, insiders have been doing a good deal of selling on the quiet. This is the case with Western Union, Harvester, Canadian Pacific, TeIe- phone and Telegraph, Western Maryland, Erie, Coppers and the Hill stocks. It is only natural that this should be the case, for when men go into the market on mar gins, they expect to make money on their trades and are not considered wise men unless they convert paper profits into cash. Tt is just as well to gather in and bank summer vacation expenses while it can be done. That is what has been going on for. two or three weeks, yet strange to say, without serious damage to values.

  HAS GREAT BREADTH Wall Street Becomes Convinced That Stanley Steel Investigation Is
 Largely for Political
 Purposes
HAS GREAT BREADTH
BY ". G. NICHOLAS

New York, June 1.-The market acted tired at times this week but the general list did not yield much even under the pressure of scattered liquidation and con siderable profit taking. The way prices hold up In the face of an overwhelming bearish sentiment among professional traders puzzles that element immensely and is cause of deep and continued financial anguish. Money for stock spec ulation is still in superabundant supply and can be had at cheap rates both for used by the specially favored people who have access to the banks surplus.
 A partial report of bank conditions as of June shows that banks have S50,0OO,- GOO more loaned on Wall street collateral than in February and in excess of $7o- GOO 900 more than year ago. This eX- hibit is part answer to the oft repeated query as to the location of the float ing supply of stocks. Tho banks are car rying them for favored customers, a fact which is at once a source of strength and weakness. It IS a strong factor in the stock market so long as nothing hap pens. It would be feature of weakness and demoralization should there be & crop failure or something else of a genuine ly alarming character to disturb serenity in Wall street. The crop killers in sev- eral western states have been doing their best to throw a scare into the stock mar ket but thus far without getting very far although the news slips and market pages of the newspapers carry long stories of the critical state of leading cereal and other crops.

A very energetic bull campaign has
 been run in Copper shares on the stock exchange and the curb. Statistics show
 that there is still an over production of the metal and there is wide difference of opinion among the recognized authori-
 ties in the trade. MT. Mather, head of the Westinghouse company, reports that he does not see much improvement in conditions or especial hope for improve ment in the near future. On the other
 hand, the publicity departments of tho Guggenheims, the Cole-Ryan combination and the Lewsohns are busy with stories having all the colors of the rainbow and full of prophecies of increasing de- mand for the copper metal. This sort of campaigning has had a decided market ef- feet and nearly everything on the Cop per list has advanced. The bull point which has been urged with best results on speculative sentiment is announcement with great hurrah that large consumers are making heavy contracts several
 months ahead for their supplies of metal, whereas down to very recent date they have been buying from hand to mouth. If the truth were known, these consumers made the shift because they were sub jected to annoyance and loss under the old policy of waiting until the last minute to stock up. The big selling companies as well as the minor producers kept very close watch on the warehoused supplies of consumers and fell into the habit of
 cinching their customers when they came into the market on these hurry buying arrands. By contracting ahead, they re. lieve themselves of this embarrassment and do not have to pay any more money for the goods In most cases the sellers agree to deliver copper two to four months ahead at the same figure as though they had to deliver tomorrow or today. It will be seen that the sellers and pro- ducers pay the carrying charges instead of the buyer, which really gives the latter a decided advantage and Is equivalent to reduction in prices. Just where this new is a bullish factor on the Copper share market Is something of a mystery, but it has nevertheless been used as stimulant, and successful, too.
