such Arrangement could be reached, how
ever. and conditions at this writing sug-
aest an intensification of unfrendly feel
ing in various quarters. Racial rivalry
is one of the issues and 1t crops up on
slight excuses. Discussions are the order
of the day. Personal and professional
jealousies are feature of the situation.
and the unfriendiy attitudes of some of
the factions Is responsible for good share
of current nervousness and uncertainty.
The son and heir of the deceased Napo-
leon of the street has been disappoint-
ment thus far. He has plenty of the cour-
age and self will that characterized his
sire but few of his mastership qualities
The street is now looking elsewhere for
a great commander. Kuhn, Loeb Il Co.,
and the Speyers have leadership material
and are gaining in favor, although at the
start both houses encountered hostility, a
development that intensified instead Of
fading away. The west has several fin
ancia1 leaders, whose friends swear by
them and predict wide and willing rec
ognition of qualities approaching genuine
greatness. 1t may take years to develop
the much desired personality. Meantime
the several financial centers will probably
worry along.
Stock Exchange Publicity
The campaign of publicity just inau-
gurated under the auspices of the Stock
Exchange, is belated acknowledgements
of and apology for its previous snobbish
mistreatment of the public through a
long period of time. The idea that the
exchange is an indispensable institution
was the religion of the membership; 1t fin
ally led to open hostility and diminished
business. Customers We're eventually SO
thoroughly incensed that they severed re-
lations with the organization as far as
possible. Traders were willing to pay
fat commissions for. the privilege of buy
ing or selling securities, and even to stand
an unfair interest assessment, but there
were limits to the most Christian endur-
ance. The result of continued oppression
was a sensational loss of business on the
exchange and further reprisal in the form
of laws and provisions for the drastic
regulation of the methods and practices

morning, caused Adjutant General
Chase, in command of the Colorado
National guard encamped here, to
hold the entire command in the mil
itary camp today.
Frequent trips of investigation
were made by troops and a squad of
cavalry was ordered from Walsen-
burg yesterday to Aguilar where an
outbreak appeared probable. Strikers
in the colony there demanded the
protection of the state troops after
having been deprived of many guns
by the infantry company which
yesterday and last night preserved
order in the two mine camps.
The detachment of artillery yes
terday was got in readiness for in
slant removal to any part of the
strike zone, and took a drill trip to-
ward Ludlow, the most active strik-
ers' camp in the district. No arms
were in evidence there yesterday,
but none has been surrended to the
state troops from that camp, though
surrendered guns and ammunition
from other sections of the strike
zone are arriving by the wagon load.
Receipts are given to individual
owners of the contraband weapons
and. according to present plans they
will be returned to them when the
strike shall have been settled.
A troop of cavalry yesterday made
| a trip toward Frederick to intercept
a wagon load of arms which were re-

the wagon.
Excitement in Trinidad yesterday
increased and the presence of a
trooper on the street was the in
centive to strikers to shout abuses
upon him and the entire national
guard.
Late yesterday information was
received at the Delagua camp that
it would be assaulted before morn
ing. The mine guards there desert
ed the camp, leaving only a few non
union miners to defend it.

STRIKE PARALY-
zES BUSINESS
Supposed Industrial Utopia Afflicted
by Struggle Between Capital
and Labor.
SHORTAGE OF FUEL AND FOOD
Work Halted in Most Trades Because
of Strike of Coal Miners
and Cookers.

wellington, Nov. IA shortage
of food and fuel, with its accom-
panying privations for the poorer
classes, is commencing to be held
throughout New Zealand as the re-
suit of general strike of coal min
ers and cookers. Work has ceased in
most trades in every port Of New
Zealand.
In Wellington and Auckland, the
two principal cities, continued riot
ing has brought about the landing
of bluejackets from British warships
to assist in preserving order. The
bluejackets are assigned primarily
to protect the men engaged in load
ing fruit on vessels at the docks and
to see that passengers are allowed to
embark or land from steamers with
out molestation.
The trouble leading to this state
Of affairs is a trial of strength be-
tween the employers and the fedora
ton of labor. The latter order is
not registered and under the CON-
pulsory arbitration act of 1902, I'M
der the terms of which any persons
melting a strike without first going
to arbitration are subject to severe
penalties.

strike of shipwrights several weeks

wages, improved working conditions

portion of the laboring element has

false statements in the letter OF
credit. After Boggs had borrowed
$4,000 of the bank his company
failed.
Mr.. Jameson formerly was a Wat
erloo banker.
Bankers are much interested in
the outcome of the suit.
The basis of the claim is letter
of introduction, given by Jameson
to Mr.. Boggs June 20, 1910. The
letter was addressed to E. H. REIN
ers, cashier of the Morrison bank.
It stated that the granite company
had been a good customer of the Cit
liens bank, was reliable and good
for any arrangements it might make
with the Morrison bank.
1t was adduced in the evidence
that Boggs borrowed something like
$4,000 of the Grundy county insti-
tute, leaving $4,000 unpaid when
the granite company failed. 1t was
disclosed that Boggs had paid dis
counts to the Morrison bank of 16
to so per cent, but this was denied
by Reimers, who stated the discount
was on an per cent basis, but that
when the dollars We're not a multiple
of five they would be made so.
The defendant created a profound
surprise when it was announced he
would offer no testimony. Judge
Ransier of the defense claimed that
the plaintiff had failed to make a
case.

AUTO OVER
BANK; Three
ARE INJURED
w. E. Clark Pinned Beneath Car
and Probably Fatally
Hurt.
POOR LIGHT THE CAUSE.
Peter and James Christensen Re-
ceive Serious Injuries in
Accident.

Des Moines, Oct. 31.--W. E. Clark
aged 40, of 114S Twenty-third street
was probably fatally injured and
Peter and James Christensen, faith
err and son, received serious injuries
when an automobile in which they
were riding plunged over an en-
bankment near Southeast Sixth
street and Hartford avenue early yes
terday evening.
Clark was rushed to the Metho-
dist hospital for treatment, where it
was found that he had suffered a
fracture of the skull. Attending
physicians said that he probably
could not recover.
Unfamiliarity with the road,
which has been built over an old
lake bed at that point, is said to
have caused the accident. The
younger Christianson was driving
the car at the time and in the dark
drove over the embankment. The
car rolled to the bottom Of the bank,
pinning Clark beneath the body Of
it. The two Christiansons were
thrown some distance from the car
and they escaped more serious injur-
les. The car had but one oil lamp
in front and the poor light is said to
have been partly responsible for the
accident.
The police patrol was sent to the
scene and all three men were taken
to the Methodist hospital. The ma
chine had to be rolled over before
the body of Clark could be released.
Clark and the Christiansons were
returning from Indianola, where
they had gone to inspect some land
owned by the former.
Clark moved to Des Moines a year
ago from Altoona, where he had
been in business. Mrs. Clark was in
Prairie City visiting her parents at
the time of the accident. She will
return to Des Moines today with
their 3-year-old son, Wilbur
The elder Christianson is a retir-
ed farmer of near Eagle Grove. He
is about so years old. His son, %
years old, is a member of the Swan
son & Christianson Garage company
of AIT Eighth street.
