LIQUIDATE SURETY co.
Empire States Directors Decide
It Cannot Be Rehabilitated.

The Empire State Surety Company,
which before the panic Of 1907 was con-
trolled by the late John G. jenkins and
his associates. and the control of which
was acquired last winter by interests
identified with the National Surety Com
pany. is to go into liquidation and its
business is to be reinsured, owing to
heavy losses on past business and an i'm
pairment of about 10000. even upon its
recently reduced capitalization.
The now management found that its
predecessors had incurred many losses
which might have been avoided, and also
reached tho conclusion that the reserves
were not large enough. The increase Of
the reserves to n figure which the new
management considered adequate more
than wiped ont the surplus, and accord
ingly the capital was reduced last May
from $4,000 to $4,000 and $4,000 was
added To the surplus. which step IL was
thought would give the company a sur
plus of about Sl25, 900 after the reduction
had been made. The losses continued,
however, and the company's own figures
as of June 80 showed that the additional
surplus had disappeared.
II is understood that the officers OF the
National Surety Company have made an
offer for reinsuring the business of the
Empire State Company, which has not
yet been acted upon, as the Insurance
Department desires to give opportunity
for other offers to be submitted.

and Closes Higher.

points and a frming up AT the close.
which was within a point or two Of the

THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat Gains a LittIe-COrn,
Oats and Coffee Lower.

F1rmer foreign markets and an active
cash demand boosted wheat prices in the
early trading, but the market was unable
to hold the gain in the face OF crop news
and weather conditions. There was a
sharp break in the afternoon, and the
close was at net unchanged to an advance
OF * cent Corn started out with a show
of firmness, which made shorts nervous
for time, but an increase in country
offerings broke the market to net loss
of b4n cent at the close. Ffrmness in
the other markets and heavy export buy
Ing gave oats a firm start, but weather
conditions proved too much for the mar
ket, and the close was at unchanged to
Ia cent down from Thursday.
An early steadiness In coffee was aided
by frmness in Brazil, the spot situation
was stimulated by reports that roasters
had bought heavily. and opening prices
were slightly higher for all months eX-
cept July, which was down point. In
the afternoon selling pressure. credited 10
cables from Hamburg that confidence in
the market had been impaired by the
slackness OF country demand, affected the
market and prices started downward.
The decline did not stop till the close or

HARAHAN FOR SEABOARD.
Erie R. R. ViCe-President Slated
for Air Line Head.

II was announced yesterday that a
committee appointed by the executive
committee Of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way to recommend TO the directors a
man for the presidency of that company
had made its selection. Upon what is re-
garded as most reliable authority It Is
stated that William J. Harahan, vice
president of the Erie Railroad, is the man
chosen by the committee. When Mr..
Harahan was asked whether no was TO
be the new head of the seaboard Air
Line he refused to make any statement
on the subject at the present time.
y. s. Medium, now president OF the
line, expressed his determination some
time ago to retire from the presidency.

demanded his attention. The committee
to select a new president was then APP
pointed, consisting OF Mr.. Meldrum. S.

tive committee OF the Seaboard Air Line,

berland Corporation. for himself and his
other holdings similarly represented, con-
sttute. it is said, a majority Of the stock.
When Mr.. Warneld was seen at the Ho-
tel Plaza last night he said he was not at
liberty to make a statement at this time
as to whom the committee would recon-
mend 10 the directors for their new pres
ident. He would not deny, however, that
Mr.. Harahan was the committees choice
According to Mr.. Warfield, the prefer
ence bf the committee. all other things
being equal. would be for Southern man,
this being in line with the company's
general policy.
The selection of Mr.. larahan would he
a logical one, i'm view Of the fact, recently
announced. that number OF men prom
inent in the banking and industrial life OF
the South would become directors or the
Seaboard. Mr.. Warfield confirmed the
statement that the following names would
be submitted for election TO the board OF
directors Robert i, Maddox, vice-presi-
dent Of the American National Bank, At
lanta; Mills p. Lane, president OF he

William J. Harahan was born in Nash
VILE, Tenn. in 1867, and belongs TO the
younger generation Of railroad men who
have made themselves felt in the rail-
road world in recent years. He has had
an all-around railroadng experience.
having entered the field as clerk in
1881 He started his active railroad career
as an apprentice in the shops of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad at Louis
Vile in 1854.
In 1886 Mr.. IIarahan entered the en-
gineering department Of the same line,
remaining there until 1889. He also
served as engineer OF maintenance of way
on the Cincinnati & Huntingdon division
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
From that point on Mr.. Harahan rose
rapidly in the railroad world, getting eX-
perience On many different lines until in
1851. he entered the service OF the Erie
Railroad later becoming vice-president,
