ever since the assassins' bullet struck
down the heir apparent to the Austrian
throne and his consort. For nearly two
weeks the situation has been critical
but hope has been held out for AMIGA ble
adjustment. or at least a localization
OF the war. Now that hope appears to
be threadbare.
For several weeks Europe had been
pouring into New York great blocks of
American securities. By THURSDAY prac-
tlcally every market on the Continent
mad suspended operations. London. re-
Miuned open, but no business was
transacted and quotations were merely
nominal. As result. New York was
cor G,ompeiIed to be an open market for
the world. Prices broke sharply on that
exchange. but all securities offered were
absorbed. The last day. however,
showed the trend too clearly.
Canvassed the Situation.
Thursday afternoon several large
bankers, together with representatives
of the stock exchange, met at the Office
Of j. p. Morgan & Co. They canvassed
the situation and determined to con-
tlnue the marketing operations. The
brokers demanded. however, that
there must be fund of at least
$50. 100000 to support the great
brokerage houses, many Of which
were carrying orders for customers
seas on vacations. The bankers did not
agree.
Friday morning President z. G. S.
Noble, of the stock exchange, met sew
eral of the governors of that body. No
meeting had been called, but it was
found that every broker on the floor
had orders to sell, and scarcely one
order was to be found to buy. Mean
while, banks throughout the country
holding securities as collateral for loans
and other exchanges had sent thou
sands of messages demanding that the
exchange be closed. At ten minutes
before the hour to open President Noble
put the question and the vote was
unanimous.
Thus in the opinion of many students
Of finance, was averted the greatest
panic that America has ever seen. Had
the market have been kept open it is
said that banks throughout the coun-
try would have had their loans impaired
by the depression of securities to unheard
of levels, while great brokerage houses
numbers. As it is the banks will not
call their loans; the brokerage houses
will have opportunity to collect money
from their customers, and when the eX-
change opens the situation will have
cleared. regardless of whether general
war or general peace has resulted.
Discout Rate Jumped.
Meanwhile, the London exchange has
closed Runs were started on the Bank
of England and the discount rate has
jumped up to 10 per cent; the Imperial
Bank OF Germany, equally affected by
demands, has raised its rate 10 s per
cent and the Bank of Belgium has fol-
lowed suit
Even this, it is feared, will not be suf-
ficient to main tain a firm financial basis
in London and on Tuesday it IS expected
that parliament will suspend the bank
act, which has operated without inter-
ruption since September "a, 1859, black
Friday"

His talk was somewhat On the

building Of the American race. He
said the mating Of "slant browed, lol-

NEW TRIAL SAYS
SUPREME COURT
DECISION HANDED DOWN TO-
DAY-JEROME MAY BE FIG
URE IN NEXT HEARING

New York, Feb. 24.-Charles Beck
er, who last December was convicted
of the murder Of Herman Rosenthal
and sentenced to die in the electric
chair, will get new trial. The su-
preme court so decided today.
The arguments for a new trial were
made early in December. Becker's
attorneys argued that the evidence
of "Baldy" Lewis, in which he told of
an alleged conversation over the tele
phone, was not admissible.
From the start they were confident
that Becker would be given new
trial.
When the case comes up again,
VIM. Travers Jerome, formerly dis
trict attorney, probably will be one of
the prominent witnesses. It is said
that Jerome overheard the conversa-
ton, and has stated since that Becker
did not make the statements credited
to him.
Becker has been in the death cham
Der at Sing Sing since last January.
During all that time his wife has lived
in a cottage near by. She has been
untiring in her efforts to secure a
new trial.
Since he entered the death cham
Der, Becker's mother has died, ignor-
ant Of the fact that her son was SEN,
tenced to die.
