nance at the Plaza for the benefit OF

WINS CROSS SUIT, BIT STILL
OWES BROOKLYN INSTITU-
TION $4,000.

NEW YORK. June 1.-The jury in the
Supreme court in Brooklyn. which has

bank disposed of the securities, realized
about 100000 on them, and then en-
tered suit against Heinze for 100000
more. Heinxe fied cross-suit, setting
forth that the securities were worth

properly disposed of them--that II
should have realized $500 900 more than
1t did He asked that he be given
judgment for that amount.
The suits were tried simultaneously
as one Heinze commended that since
the collateral had been disposed Of he
should be given credit for the real
value OF the securities
The jury found that the collateral
WAS worth $4,000 more than was
realized on ii, and decided in Heinze's
favor, This leaves him owing the bank
about $4,000. which he announced he

This Is not a crusade OF anti-vivi

that the society charges extreme cru

and university physicians resorted to
the inhuman practice OF dropping
twenty dogs off the roof Of the medi-

back OF the animals in order that
they might better study the functions
Of the motor and sensory of the spinal

LONDON BANKERS TO
DISCOURAGE LOANS
WILL FROWN ON FURTHER BOND
ISSUES UNTIL SURPLUS is
a.. ABSORBED.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The highly
significant announcement was made In
private cable dispatches today that
London banking underwriters have
agreed to discourage further bond is
sues until the present surplus is alb
sorbed, and the congestion in the in
vestment market relieved. According
to the London Economist "the world
is overloaded and overarmed." All
financial centers, New York, London.
Paris and Berlin, are feeling the strain
arising from new Rotations The
break in the security markets today
originating in Berlin, and reacting on
New York, was the direct result OF
fresh imperial and Prussian loans, ag-
gregating $56.250,000. Berlin was
taken entirely by surprise at this an
nouncement, for the loans follow gov
eminent issues last February, aggre-
eating $135.000,000, which were
heavily undersubscribed.
Many loans brought out in London
recently have fallen far short of sub
scription. Despite this new issues
have been coming out at rapid rate.
For a time the theory prevailed that
flotations failed in the foreign mar
kets because of the disturbances ecca-
stoned by the Balkan war. and the
heavy boarding of gold in France.
Germany, Austria, and elsewhere. This
has undergone some modification. for
the Balkan war ceased to be disturb
ing weeks ago.
Despite the reported heavy hoard
ing of gold abroad, which has con-
tinued over a period of nearly eight
months, 1t Is curious that there is no
evidence Of 1t in the deposits of the
principal State banks OF Europe. This
suggests what is now the accepted the
DRY in finanial circles In accounting
for the unsatisfactory Investment mar
ket, that available supplies Of capital
are insufficient to provide for all the
financing that borrowing governments.
municipalities. States, colonies, and
corporations, have taken. AS a result
financial centers are suffering from q
credit strain of worldwide applica-
ton.
