BOSTON STORE VICTIMS WIFE
AND BABE ARE PENNILESS.

fINb BH9E hEtE T.ENINtEESS'
Mrs. Ernest Saul, wife of the young
machinist who may lose his life as a
result of being caught in a cable in
the Boston Store elevator shaft
Thursday morning, was seen by a
Day Book reporter this morning in
her home at 7O8 N. State street.
Mrs. Saul is only % years old. Six
weeks ago she gave birth to baby.
Saul got $12 a week for his work in
the Boston Store. The store has not
offered to make any provision for his
wife since the husband was so badly
injured.
The room rent was due Saturday.
1t was not paid. Only the kindness of
the landlady has kept Mrs. Saul and
her newborn baby from the streets.
She is still i'll from the effects Of child
birth. She is. not able to go to work
When the man was injured Thurs
day he was rushed up to the Elmer
gency Hospital in the Boston Store.
Then he was spirited away to the
West Side Hospital in a private jambu-
lance. The employees were warned
against talking about the accident.
He was placed on the operating
table Immediately Before he was
free of the effects of the ether two
Boston Store lawyers bObbed up and
tried to get him to sign a statement.
Their actions were so raw that
even the nurses and doctors forbade
them to speak to the man.
This accident occurred last Thurs
day morning when the store was
crowded. Ordinarily an accident in a
big loop building is an important
story for the newspapers. No. paper
except the Day Book has printed
line on it. The Boston Store adver-
tises.

DOMESTIC BANKERS
 MORE CONF F|DENT
Easier Conditions Felt in England-Exchange Is
 Slightly Easier

New York, September S.--More confl- dence in the financial situation was ex- pressed today by domestic bankers This feeling was regarded as a natural re- fiection of the easier conditions reported from London, resulting largely from the success which attended recent negotia- tions for the payment of New York city s foreign indebtedness.
 Direct connection with Paris was more difficult today. but bankers with rrench connections were completing arrange ments for drawing bills on Bordeaux, temporary seat of the French govern ment. It was said heavy remittances to that point would be made soon
 Foreign exchange was slightly easier. rates for cables and demand on London declining about 11a per cent, but advancing trifle later in the day. Transfer of S1 100000 gold to Canada was made by the local agent of Canadian bank, who de- clined to disclose the character of the transaction. There is reason to believe that shipments of the metal from this and other home reserve centers to Ottawa for account of maturing obligations soon will be under way.
 Local money conditions were unchanged as to rates, but supply was more limited. last Saturdays bank statement, which was not up to popular expectations. caus- ing some lenders to withdraw from the market. It is not improbable that New York banks may increase their supply of emergency currency because of the in- creasing disinclnation of interior banks to make loans in this market.

YANDEP[|P POINTS ID SOME RESULTS OF EUROPEAN WAR Thinks America Must Fur nish Much of Her Own
 Capital I1l Future BIG SUMS NEEDED
 IN FOREIGN TRADE Great Opportunities Will Be Opened In South America But Manufac-
 turers Should Not Move
 Too Hastily
By HOLLAND

New York, September S-(Speeial) There seems to be a prevailing opinion that on the whole the effects of the Eu- ropean war will not be seriously felt in the United States or if there be some en,- barrassment that will be only temporary, but that on the whole there will be per- manent and probably immediate influences which will be of inestimable benefit to this country. A careful re~ ling of tine pamphlet prepared by President Wander lip of the National City bank, supple mented by the knowledge that he is prob ably as well informed as any other banker in the United States about the chara ctcr and possibilities of our foreign and do- mestic trade, compels the opinion that he Is not among those who regard as In the main advantageous to the United Stases the influences which will follow the Euro pean war
 Mir avnderlip seems to be of the opin- ion that while we shall have many new and unexpected opportunities opened to us. there will be inevitably serious dis turbances to our foreign trade and very embarrassing financial adjustments which must be made. Furthermore, the United States Is constantly seeking new capital. The railroads would be glad, if domestic conditions permitted to secure hundreds of millions of new capital within the next two or three years. Until July the expec- tation was that some of the railroads would be able to find new capital in E,l- rope. Newman Erb, who is the successor of the late Edwin Hawley in the control of the Hawley system of railroads, was con-. fident in the late spring when he went 10 Europe that he would be able to obtain considerable amount of new capital need ed for his railroad. But in mid August MT. Erb said that all sources from which rev capital could be obtained in England or on the continent of Europe had been made unavailable
 It was this that MT Vanderlip had in mind undoubtedly when intimatin;, that the United States, through its banks, ought to be able to utilize to the fullest. extent many credit resources which have been latent for years. For the immediate effect of the war in Europe will be the

 There is, however. good opportunity to enter successfully some of the markets, especially In South America, which the continent of Europe and Great Britain are now compelled, temporarily at least, to yield. But MT. Vanderlip intimates that 1t should be borne in mind that in the countries where these markets are to be found there has been dependence upon the money markets to carry on these in- dustries. The question is whether we can make good or partially good the financing which South America has in the past re- 'lieo upon Great Britain and the conti- nent of Europe to obtain
 Noticeably MT. Vanderlip cautions American business men lest they be per suaded to go ahead too suddenly, too ven- turesomely. It is good time to sail cautiously. and yet n his view we ought to be ready to take advantage of all the opportunities that are offered
