McCulloch Speaks of Haldane.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 10.-Chief Justice McCulloch has just re- turned from Montreal, where he attended the meeting of the A merican Bar Association. He said that the feature of the seS- sion was the address of Lord Chancellor Haldane of Ef md, who was given special permis- sion by King George to leave En- gland, being the second who has eyer done so in the history of Great Britian, and the first in four hundred years. The other one was Wolsey. who only crossed the channel to France.
 Judge McCulloch says that Lord Haldane's address created a profound sensation on both sides of the Atlantic. He spoke enthusiastically, and in the man. ner and directness that seemed inspired of the great desire of England for closer union with the United States.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 10.-At a meeting of the State Capitol Commission Tuesday forenoon, the State Banking Commission was assigned the two rooms and vault now occupied by the State Land Office, which is to be given quarters in the basement, which is really the first floor, under the supreme court clerk.

Governor Hays Will Hardly Call Legislature To Transfer Revenue From Capitol

 Special to Independent.
 Little Rock. Sept. 10.-Oace more, after 6 few months on a cash basis, the general revenue fund of the State Treasurey is exhausted. There has been no money in it since 6 week ago Saturday, and the prospects for there being any for several months are very remote.
 There are already several thousand dollars out in unpaid warrants, and current expenses of the state and it's institutions are amounting to nearly S100,- 900 month. Many of the banks are disposed to look askance up- on the carrying of the warrants, even at heavy discount, and the charitable institutions are especially in desperate straits, or soon will be.
 The first revenue of c0nse- quence will be the insurance taxes amounting to about S100,- 900, due March l, but by that time the state will be in debt fully half a million dollars. Aside from these. the Secretary of State pays in fees amounting to about S2,500 a month. Or dinarily, liquor licenses begin to come in soon after January 1, but this is a very uncertain quantity for 1914, as no one knows whether there will be any saloons in the state next year. [ There will be an increase in the taxes derived from the general levy next year, as the legisla- ture increased the levy half g. mill, and the assessments will be considerably heavier. Under the new law, the Auditor may call upon collectors for advance pay ments previous to settlement, and that will tide the treasury over next spring.
 In the meantime, however, conditions are serious. There has even been some discussion of calling an extra session of the legislature to handle the IT, nancial problem, but Governor Hays is not disposed to look upon it with favor.
 q feel that possibly the mon- ey could be borrowed from the state capitol fund, about S45O,- OOO," said Governor Hays, there by saving the necessity of pur- chasing supplies for the institu- tions on credit and paying eX- orbitant prices for them, and discounting warrants for the salaries of officers and employees, it would be a great saving to 'the state and in the meantime the capitol would not deterior- ate. That money would carry us over until next years reven- ues come in, and we could start on a cash basis once more, and in three years time l feel cer- tain we could pay back the mon ev to the capitol fund and pro- |ceed with the completion of the building.
 However, on account of the different complications that Emight arise in the calling of a special session Of the legislature I don't think it would be expedl- ent to call such a session. ] am going to see if l cannot ln some way make outside arrangements i for the charitable institutions o1 Ithe state to get sufficient money to pay the cash for such sup plies as may be necessary t(

In response to the resolution offered IN

| The following statement was issued
Yesterday by Messrs. Beekman. Menken
q Griscom. attorneys for II. B. Hollins
q Co.; The failure OF H. B. Hollins
* Co. was due to the Withdrawals Of
large deposits, thus greatly reducing the
firms working capital, which is largely
invested in securities which could not be
readily sold in the present market"
Rumors that the New Haven directors
would withdraw the bond issue were re-
iterated with emphasis, and the bonds
when Issued sold down to new low record
OF 102 Ia It was said to be the purpose
OF the management to issue short-term
notes for nearby requirements and
await more favorable situation In the
money market before undertaking perma-
nent financing.
The Lehigh and wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany and the Central Railroad of New

United States District Court TO the gov

Of conspiracy and OF illegal combination

are similar to the ones filed by the other

Mr.. Lovett chairman Of the Union Pa

normally have been held yesterday. I
shall issue call for a special meeting
next week, probably for Wednesday, at
which time action will be taken on the

The London correspondent of the Iron
Age says: General trade conditions re-
main unsatisfactory. Buying is only
from hand TO mouth. All domestic prices
are weak The position Of semi-hnished
steel is still poor, and German bankers
are more disposed to meet the market
The Berlin correspondent says: The best
thing that can be said is that no further
price reductions by manufacturers have
been reported. The Steel Works Union.
at its regular monthly meeting, gave
out less favorable market survey than
heretofore.
E. & c. Randolph to W. B. Hibbs
& co.-The news from Mexico produced
an unfavorable effect on foreign markets,
and quotations all came over lower from
thepther side. Our market opened down
in full sympathy with this decline, in
many instances even making lower quo
tations than those which were sent over
from London. Good support was rendered
at the lower level and prices soon began |
to rally. Union showing special strength |
and advancing over a point in the first |
few minutes. Long stock. however. |
checked the advance. and trading be-
came very dull. Later prices once more |
sagged of and the general tone was

from the opening quotations. New Hav-
