Investnent Bankers Convention.
The nrst convention Of the Invest
ment Bankers Association. which 10 to
be held In New York City on or about
November q. will reveal to the invest
ment world what an important step has
been taken in bringing together the men
and the interests handling the bulk OF
American securities.
1t might be interesting. although not
important. to figure how many hum
dreds Of millions Of dollars are repre-
sented in the way Of capital commit
ments in the membership Of the organi-
zation. Above mere amount stands q
personnel beyond monetary calculation.
The constitution Of the association.
its declaration of principles. and
its programme of future work
are sufiicient to show that the organi-
xation will assume a commanding posi-
ton in American finance.
The association was not formed for
the sole purpose Of driving the dis
honest promoter out Of the market. bu:
its very purposes are SO antagonistic
to the continued existence Of this class
Of financial parasite. that the announce
ment of organization has been OF itself
effective in that direction
The public is interested in the Ameri-
can Bankers Association, but the con-
tact between the public. or at least the
investment public. and the Investment
Bankers Association will be much closer
and the proceedings Of the FIRST con-
vention will be read with interest.
The association certainly has a bright
future. and II II fulfills even a few of
its announced purposes II will prove at
once a safeguard against foolish and
unwise investments. and weapon par
ticularly effective in destroying dis
honesty in the brokerage and bond busi-
ness.

Baltimore. Nd, Oct. 2.-william H.
Myers. IS years old. who made the rope
which hanged Guiteau. who shot Gar
field. 10 dead at his home. ao6 Gorsuch
Avenue.
Mr.. Myers. a ropemaker by trade, en-
Jcyed the distinction of having manu-
facturcd the hemp nooses that ended the
csreer OF many notorious criminals. His
handiwork since that time has strangied
notorious murderers Of Maryland and
surrounding States. Mr.. Myers death
followed an illness Of nine weeks. The
funeral will be held from the home to-
morrow afternoon.
Mr.. Myers was a native Of Baltimore,
and had lived here all his eventful life
When little more than II years old, he
began learning his trade as q ropemaker
and finished four years later While still
youn. man, he was awarded the con-
tract Of supplying hangman's ropes in
the State and the District Of Columbia
After the execution Of Guiteau. Mr.. Myers
manufactured the moose which ended the
criminal career of Adam Horn In Balti-
more half a century ago
Hemp spun by Mr.. Myers decorated
the necks OF the Mollie Maguires, who
were hanged at Pottsville and Mauch
Chunk, Pa. In 1878. In that ease Mr..
Myers was given orders by the State
authorities OF Pennsylvania, to send good
stout ropes. and he made them In record
time, shipping them Immediately to the
scene Of the executions.
A peculiar characteristic Of the rope
maker was the fact that he would never
consent to attend the hanginss at which
bis work figured. He would complete the
moose. which would be ready when 1t
left his hands to be slipped about the
condemned person's neck and would
then send II to the jail. refusing abso-
lrtely to take 1t in person. He Is sur
