j A. Greeley and Solicitor |. NJ. Press

provocation. and had it not been for his
hand which was resting on his stomach

would have been almost instantaneous.
Young Browder is resting very well, out

MONEY MOVEMENT STILL
TENDS TOWARD NEW YORK
by HOLLAND.

New York, June 17.--tSpecial )-Imms-
diately following tho announcement OF
Secretary of the Treasury william G.
McAdoo that he would issue emergency
currency up to soa0.000o00 In case there
were demand from the banks. the Ma
tlona1 City bank lent little In excess or
S7,o000eo. Othsr banks speedily made
their reserves in like manner available,
or at least offered to make them avail
able, to those who stood in need of the
money, with the understanding that the
loaning rate would be low.
The coincidence III point of time between
the announcement of the Secretary of the
Treasury and the action Of the New York
banks might lead to the suspicion that
this action was really an answer to Sec
retsry McAdoo's official announcement.
That suspicion, however, would. if it
We're entertained at all. be unfonnded.
1t was due to the peculiar conditions
now prevailing and would have been TAX
en- had Secretary McAdoo made no an
nouncement An extraordinary situation,
almost paradoxieal. now characterizes the
money market of the United States Much
has been said about the real stringency
in that market. The public has been told
that conditions are such as to make it
limpracticable or unwise to seek at this
time large loans.
Yet the recent statement of the national
banks of the Unitei States tends to show
that money is plentiful. Many of the
banks are carrying very large reserves.
Some in the west are said to be carrying
as much as so Ier cent reserve or as
much again as the law requires. Noe
in recent years has there been such a
constant and heavy current bearing funds
and flowing from ether parts of the coun-
try toward New York as has been tho
case for some time this spring. Not
withstanding an alleged tightness of
money it nevertheless seems really to be
a drug. Some of the banks are con-
gested with it. The National City bank
is reported to have or to have had at
the time of the announcement of Secre-
tary McAdoo was made $S0,0o0000 in ex-
cess of the lawful reserve of % per cent.
Relatively that Is true of many of the
banks in New York. Almost all of them
are carrying reserves considerably in ex
cess of the amount the law requires.
The Inflow of Currency
Although some criticism has been made
in other parts oe the country complain
ing of the pessimism and loss of nerve
which are alleged to characterize the
financial district in this city, neverthe-
less statistics seem to show that banks
and bankers elsewhere still look trust
fully toward New York for the profitable
employment of some of their idle funds.
The movement of currency from other
parts of the country to this city-demon-
strates the national Hnancial character
of New York city and points conclusively
to the conviction of bankers and of many
business men that this city is the financial
heart of the nation and in that respect
is national, not local, exactly as London
is the financial heart of Great Britain AMI
Paris the financial hears OF France, or as
Washington is the great political nerve
of the United States.

South Begins Manufacture

cotton was left to the south and its

manufacture to the north. 1t was this
generally understood policy that built
up cities like Lawrence. New Bedford,
Manchester and Fall River.
But a short time before the outbreak
of the civil war some attempt was made
in the slave states to encroach on the
northern prerogative. The effort was
unsuccessful, largely because negro
labor was not effective when placed at
a spindle and it was not until a decade
and a half after the close of the war
that southern capital tried again, with
the aid of modern machinery and care
fully educated labor to gain a foothold.
The nearness of the source of supply
to the raw material of course gave
the south big advantage Statistics
show that in the course of the past
year the cotton raising states used in
their manufacturing plants. 2.712.622
bales, against 2.655.O O49 in all others.
Increase Very Great
Only a generation ago the world got
along very comfortably with 100000
bales of cotton yearly. The average
consumption for the five years ending
with 1885, was about 1O,OO0,oOo bales.
In the cotton year ending September,
1912, the world used over 100000
bales and the United States disposed
of a 100000 bale crop.
That leaves hardly any question about
the future of cotton growing in the
south. With the work of the national
and state governments and the rail-
roads in giving assistance and teach
ing the farmers better methods at re-
duced cost of production, there are pos
sibilities of indefinite increase in yield
and practically unlimited increase in
consumption. The latter depends SIM
ply upon the worlds advance in general

RAT-PRooF BUILDINGS.

The recent elemental catastrophes- the cyclones in the middle West, and the floods in that vast region watered by the Ohio-have destroyed many hundreds of buildings. Here, out of misfortune, much good should come A timely appeal for the raJt-proofng of dwellings and other buildings at present existing, under construction or in contemplation, comes from the United States Public Health Service Those about to erect a new building or repair an old one, whether of frame, brick, rock, cement or other cons&ruc- ton, may learn from a recent bulletin issued from Washington what sani- tary and economic benefits are to be derived from permanent rat-proodng; and measures to such ends should be demanded by prospective owners as a part of building contracts. The rat is far, too prolific to be exterminated by such agencies as traps, poisons, gases and the like; these may reduce the is food within reach, the surviving rats will have more to eat propor- tionately, and procreation will be stimulated the more. Rat externina- ton can be effective only by cutting of the rats food supply. The bulletin contains all necessary information to this end so far as relates to build ings. Those already erected can be rat-proofed by the closure of all nat ural or accidental openings; by being renOdel with material inpervtous to rats; by the removal of structures which will give refuge to rats, and by the protection or removal of foods which rats will eat.

WITNESS SAYS HE SAW PITMAN GIVE
 BREEN DYNAMITE

Boston, May 2S-Ernest W. Pitman supplied the dynamite that was planted in Lawrence during the tex duced by the State yesterday. after noon.
 The suicide of Pitman on the morn ing that he was to have appeared as witness before the grand jury which was Investigating the alleged conspir- acy to discredit the strikers, created a sensation at the time. He was a building contractor living in Andover and widely known. He built the Wood mill at Lawrence, owned by the Amer ican Woolen Company of which Will liam M. Wood is president. Rumors that he had knowledge of the dyna- mite plot were met with assertions by his intimates that the contractor had been driven to take his life by busi- ness worries.
 When John J. Breen. who has con fessed to actually planting the dy- at the trial of the alleged conspiratorS William M. Wood, Frederick B. At teux and Dennis J. Collins, the prose cution called William H. Rice, quarry owner of Milton. Rice testi- fled that Putnam came to him and asked for a quantity of dynamite for a construction job. The witness told of getting the dynamite from his quarry and of accom- mpanying Pitman to Bos- ton where he saw the contractor de- liver the explosive to Breen, as Breen had. already testified. Rice said that he knew Pitnan well but never saw him after the night of January 19, 1912 when they came to this city with the dynamite.
 Daniel H. Coak1ey, counsel for At teux, completed his cross-examination of Breen. The latter admitted that he had lied repeatedly concerning the dynamite plot but insisted that he had told only the truth on the witness stand. He admitted that he had ask ed Atteux for money with which to settle damage suits which had been brought against him for false arrest by persons who had been taken into custody after the ''pIanted'' explosive had been found on their. premises. He claimed, however, that he was asking onI1r for money which he thought At teux should furnish because he was involved in the conspircy-
