COASTER-BRAKE MONOPOLY
DEFINITELY ESTABLISHED
Morgan ~EmpIoye Testifies Gary and
Frick Did Not Deceive Roose-
Welt in 1907 Panic.

Rochester. n. Y, May 29.-Fines ag
gregattng $81, 800 were imposed Thurs.
day by Judge John r. Hazel in the
cases Of six corporation and eleven in
dividual defendants in the govern
ment's action against the coaster
brake trust for violation of the Sher-
man law. The corporations involved
and eight of the individuals pleaded
guilty to charges of conspiring to re-
strain trade and attempting to mo-
nopolize domestic and foreign trade
Both sides agreed to a perpetual in
junction decree, which was signed by
the federal judge in the case.
New York, May 29-Testimony de-
signed to show that Ebert Fl. Gary
chairman Of. the United States Steel
corporation, and H. G.. Prick, a direc-
tor, did not deceive Theodore Roose-
welt in telling him it was necessary
for the corporation to take over the

stop the panic of 1907 was introduced
by the defense in the governments
suit to dissolve the corporation as an
Illegal trust here Tuesday.
Thomas W. Joyce, a security clerk
for J. P. Morgan & CO., testified that
he examined the books of the broker
age firm of Moore & Schley by direc-
ton of Mr.. Morgan the day before
Gary and Prick went to Washington
to see Mr. Roosevelt. He found the
firm had 157,700 shares of the Ten
nessee companys total outstanding
stock of 298,000 shares. He SO report
ed to Mr.. Morgan that night, Novem-
Der g. 1907, at meeting of financiers
in Mr. Morgan's library.
The government complaint alleges
that Moore e Schley did not hold a
majority of the stock of the Tennes-
see company and that therefore
Messrs. Gary and Prick misrepresent-
ed facts when they said Moore &
Schley would fail and the panic be
intensified unless the firms Tennessee
stock, pledged as collateral for loans,
was exchanged for steel corporation

FOR TWO ROADS
Frisco and C. & {. |. Are in

LACK OF MONEY Is CAUSE

LACK OF MONEY IS CAUSE

st. Louis, May 29.-United States
Judge Sanborn appointed two receiv-
ers for the ST. Louis & San Francisco
railroad, known as the Frisco system,
upon application of the North Amer1-
can company Tuesday. Benjamin l..
Winchell, president of the Frisco COM
pany, and Thomas H. West, chairman
Of the board of directors Of the st.
Louis Union Trust company, were
named as receivers.
Judge Sanborn, in appointing West
and Winchell, fixed their bonds at
100000 each, A request that third
man be appointed was presented by
Frederick w. Lehman, representing
Speyer & Co., and Charles Nagel, rep
resenting the Bankers Trust com
pany of New York Judge Sanborn
said he had no objection to the ap-
pointment of third man, and would
take the matter under advisement.
Chicago, May 29.-Receiver We're
appointed for the Chicago &c Eastern
Illinois railroad by Federal Judge Car
penter Tuesday. The action was
made on complaint of the Railway
Steel Spring company. Judge Car
penter appointed William j. Jackson
vice-president of the railroad, and Ed
win w. Winters, New York railroad
and financial man.
According to Attorney Shaw, rep
resenting the Railway Steel Spring
company, the bankruptcy of the rail-
oh oh N
measure through two factors. First,
a tight money market; and, second,
anti-railroad legislation which has
been enacted in the state in the last
few years.
New York, May disappointment
of receivers for the st. Louis & San
Francisco Railroad company at ST.
Louis and for the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois at Chicago Tues y, according
to interests affiliated wi,n the proper
ties, is due chiefly to two things, the
inability to raise $2,250,000 to tax
care of that amount Of notes maturing
June. / next and the failure Of B. +.
Yoakum to dispose of half interest
in the Chicago & Eastern Illinois to
the ST Paul road.
The Frisco has been lowering in
the shadow of a receivership for
more than two weeks, SO that the
financial district was not surprised
at the actual announcement. There
was, however, an eleventh hour rush
on the part of security holders to
liquidate, with the result that new
low records were established for
practically all Of the property's Sc
curities. The common stock sold at
the new low record of five; the first
preferred at 24B and the second pre-
ferred at "a. The general lien SIS
dropped eight points to the low figure
of So, while the refunding As lost
nearly four points and sold at the
bottom figure of 65A.

Long Beach, Cal, May 27-While
10000 persons were assembled on the
land end of the big doubled decked
municipal pier in front Of the city
auditorium in attendance on the cele-
bration of British Empire day Satur-
day that structure suddenly collapsed
with awful results.
Hundreds of persons were plunged
down on the heads of other hundreds
crowded on the second deck. The
lower deck then gave way, and all
were dropped down a chute of shat
tered woodwork to the tide washed
sands twenty-five feet below.
Thirty-six persons-mostly women
were killed by the shivered timbers,
impaled on big splinters or crushed
to death by the falling bodies of com
panions and friends. Fifty more were
seriously injured, while hysteria and
paralyzing fright disabled score Of
Others
The platform crumbied without
warning like a paper box and In an
other moment there was writing
mass of humanity crushed beneath
the tons Of splintered lumber. A
panic among the other 1000 specta-
tors followed and in the wild rush or
safety many persons were trampled
on and seriously injured.

Fond du Lac.-President Il. f.
Becker of the First National bank OF

of the Wisconsin Bankers association,
gathered at the state convention here,
declared that there should be law
limiting the number of banks in a COM
munity just the same as there is a
law limiting the number of saloons.
Mr.. Becker declared such law
would relieve the banking profession
and the public from the ruinous cpl
demic of starting new banks every
time some man gets, it into his system
ter what his qualifications for the I'm,
