Perkins Says Every Thing Is Lovely SHALL INVESTORS BUY Deposits in Savings Banks Today AI mlst Equal the Withdrawals by Checks No Unusual Demands. European Gold is Coming in All Records Broken on Stock Exchange For Sales of Securities in SnniU Lots, Which is a Good Sign. . (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York , Oct. 2 9 Business con fidence Is growing steadily. The bank runs have practically ceased and most of the institutions that were closed by lack of cash to meet the sudden excessive demand will re sume business In a few days. Ster ling Exchange .rates are declining as a result of the news that nearly $7, 000,000 in gold has already been or dered from abroad and other en gagements will bo made. Payments of Interest by the Penn sylvania Railroad Company will, on November 5, liberate about $15,000, 000 that that company has been gath ering. . Purchasers of American se curities which are regarded as bar gains in foreign markets at, the pre vailing prices, and the movement of wheat abroad, which will soon be gin, will add to the flow of gold that 1b streaming into the United States. The lack of money is beginning to be felt in the west and savings in stitutions there have adopted the rule, put into effect by the New York banka requiring the sixty days' no- tlCe. f . ; ?.v:-v 'ivv : Bankers and other financiers are -thoroughly pleased with the sew state of affairs. "Everything' Is lovely," said tleorge W." Perkins' of the firm of JT. P. Morgan ft Co. "Gold, is com ing from Europe, the pool formed to aid the stock -market has been dis solved as it is no longer necessary and the clearing house certificates are doing their work." Information from all part of the country indicate a general Improve ment In the money market. In six teen of the larger cities : clearing house associations adopted the plan to accept clearing house certificates. The bank examiners have almost con cluded their work on the Hamilton and Twelfth ward banks and the United States Exchange bank and the officials of those banks hope to be able to resume business in two or three days. To that end they have held several conferences with Attor-eny-General Jackson, with a view of perfecting the legal technicalities. The most cheerful features regard ing the local situation had nothing to do with Wall Street. Aside from the moral to be drawn from, speculative indiscretions men with pressing needs had no difficulty in obtaining money. Officials of savings banks reported that no unusual demands had been made upon their resources and that deposits almost equalled withdrawals. The real estate markets are becoming more active, which furnishes a ba rometer to the excellence of prevail ing conditions so far as prosperity is concerned and suggests that much of the. money that has been with drawn from banks is finding its way into unimproved property. In addition to the money that Is going into real estate all records are being broken on the stock exchange for sales of securities in small lots, which shows that men nnd women with small savings are taking ad vantage of the exceedingly low prices of high class securities to which E. H. Harrlman and other financiers have called their attention. ; Following a prolonged meeting of (he directors of the Trust Company of America ' -which was held while Thomas F. Ryan was in the building, it is ru mored that Thomas F. Ryan was to become the principal owner of that stock. Nenlther Mr. Ryan or Oak- haigh Thorne would confirm the ru "mor. All the banks which bad dlffl 'culty in Brooklyn have arranged to re-open except the Borough bank " The- affairs of this institution,' it is said, are complicated by many notes tor cash loaned to real estate specu lators, who, owing to the inability to realise in the present condition of the market, are unable to protect their paper. Attorney-General Jack ion Is making a close scrutiny of the reports that are going the rounds and If he finds aythlng suspicious at all connected with the board of direc tors of any of the Institutions ho will Institute criminal proceedings. : PACKINGpSES REDUCE PRICES OF ALL MEATS (By Leased Wlr to The Times.1) Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29 The pack ing houses here have reduced the prices of all kinds of meat 10 per cent, and expect a still further reduc tion. Edward A. Cudahy, head of the Cudahy Packing Company, which Joined in the cut believes that there will be an Immediate decline all along the line of product and staple supplies necessary to human life. "General business expansion has been tarried too far," said Mr. Cud ahy, "and there has' got to be a halt. For several days we have been buy ing cheaper and , we think we are justified by the conditions in selling cheaper. There has already been a reduction in some other lines and we believe that meat should be lower than It has been." Commission men are cautioning stock shippers to bo wary about sending in shipments for a few days, while the banks are refusing to pay out large sums of cash and there Is a feeling that this may tend to cause a slump In the market. SAY SHE STOLE HOUSE AND LOT (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Oct. 29. Mre. Mary S. Pepper Vanderbllt, the psysic con fident of little "Brightoyes," "Thun dercloud" and "Dr. Templs" of the spirit world, wa arraigned in the Adams street ' police ' court, - Brook lyn, tody and held in $1,000 bail charged with, .having, stoleu a Jiouso ard lot. . The charge of larceny was brought by1 Miss Minerva Vanderbilt, the daughter of the medium's aged hus band. Mrs. Pepper-VanderbiU came to court with her lawyers, Daily, Wil liams and Rlchardsjn. Whon asked to plead 1)113 of th3 counsel s-iid the proceeding was absurd and entered no answer. : Magistrate Tlghe then held the woman over. Her 'old ball bond was continued. HARDEN ACQUITTED GIVEN AN OVATION (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Berlin, Oct. 29. Maximilian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft, was acquitted today of the charge of libel brought against him by General Count Von Moltke and Prince Eulenberg. .When the verdict was announced Harden was given one of the most en thusiastic ovations ever witnessed in a Berlin court. Police officials had to use force to quiet the crowd. The de monstration was renewed by the mass of people in the streets surrounding the court when the news of the ver dict reached them. , Court and aristocratic circles are correspondingly dejected because the finding establishes the existence of a condition of depravity in some sec tions of the so-called high society on a parallel with that exposed in New York at the time of the Thaw-White tragedy and evert exceeding it. Von Moltke and Prince Eulenberg were charged by Harden with being members of tho "Knights of the Round Table," some of the members of which organization habitually violated moral and state laws by orgies at the home of the rich and titled men and women. TUMBLE IN EGGS IS PREDICTED ,4 . - ' Chicago, Oct,; 29. Sentiment In South Water street Is uneasy pend ing developments in the so-called egg corner, which already has thrown firm into the hands of a receiver. Egg prices were unchanged on the butter and egg board, but the under tone was weak and conservative dealers are looking for a decline. With 1,000,000 cases ostorage eggs on hand here and a demand which had grown feeble as a result of the high price it is argued that a tumble in values Is due. - , -.- - - - . - ' BASEBALL IN CONVENTION Thirty Leagues and 3,100 Players Represented IMPORTANT MATTERS UP The Eastern League is Prepared to Wage War if the Necessity Arises. '.. American Association Delegates Full of Fight Also and There is a General Bellicose Odor in the Sphere Talk -Limiting Number of Reserve 'Players. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Oct. 29. Representatives of thirty baseball leagues, comprisin;? 1C5 clubs that have tinder reserve and .control nearly 3,100 players, met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel today to legis late on questions of very great im portance to minor league baseball ami it is not Improbable that matters of the greatest Import to the big national and American Leagues and organized baseball may also come up for consid eration and decisive action. While there appears to be a dispo sition among the delegates to pooh pooh at the war talk and scare start ed by Mike Cantillon, of the American Association, still the action of the Eastern League at Its meeting In ap pointing a "war committee" or consul tation board to act with President Powers, "In case the necessity arises," is significant, inasmuch as it shows that the power of the Eastern League, while it may not take any stock In the prospects of war as P. T. Powers tried to Impress on his hearers, Is going to be prepared for any sudden . develop ments and will be ready to meet them. The American Association delegates on hand are still full of fight and say they will demand , more' and bigger concessions than they are now accord ed under Slass A protection. Whether this Win take the form of major leagueJ piULCuiiuii CAUjuaivciy iur men uwu organization Is not known, but It Is rumored that the rebel league has al ready perfected arrangements to locate a club in Chicago, and If that Is so, there are liable to be some hot times at the session of the national associa tion of professional leagues. The East ern League will ask for a higher class protection than It now enjoys under Cluss A and will make the Btlffest kind of a fight for It. ' V There are three other leagues now in Class A besides the Eastern League and the American Association. They are the Western League, Southern League, and Pacific Coast League, and they are not going to see their prestige as leaders of the minors go glimmer ing. The entire national association with out regard to the class of protection1 they' are under, will be a unit in de manding further concessions from the two big leagues on the player ques tion. As the case stands now the Na tional and American Leagues can draft one player from each - of the CIbbs A. Clubs and all the players they desire from Class B, C, and D Clubs. This, of course, works great injustice to the lower classes. There are sev eral big league clubs wh6 have on their reserve lists anywhere from 35 to 70 players, and It la wrong for any club to use any Buch number of play ers. This Is unjust to the players, as well as the smaller clubs who are un able to secure players until the dump ing process Is begun, - The national association will there fore advocate the promulgation of a rule that will prevent the big league clubs from carrying on their reserve lists more than 25 or 30 players each some stated number. This seems a perfectly just rule and doubtless the major league clubs- will welcome some such rule, which will enable them to reduce expenses. The entire situation wll be thor oughly ventilated and there is no doubt of the fact that the minor leaguers mean business and will show their feelings to the national commis sion In no uncertain manner. KRUPPS WILL SUE THE. U. S, '(By Leased Wire to The Times.) Paris, OctJ tfl.-The Krupps are about to start an action virtually againBt the United States for viola tion of their patent rights, making General Crozler, chief of ordnance, the defendant. The Krupps allege that the United States used for can nons the hydro-pneumatic brake, on. which the Krupps have a jiatent pro- tected by the United atafe, THE WHITE RACE KEEP ITELF WHITE (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Norfolk, Va., Oct. 29. In tho ceremonies attending "free school day" at the Jamestown Exposition Senator-elect Williams, of Missis sippi, one of the orators of the, oc casion, declared in his address tint if war resulted' from the determina tion of California to exclude Japan ese from the public schools it. would be a righteous war. He said in part: "It is the race which count"?, not the land, 'liito white race, where It keeps Itself nifhite. Is great and has enjoyed primacy, whether in Europe, America, South Africa or New Ze land.. A hybrid race Is great in no land, on no soil and under no sun. If we are to remain as people the 'heir of all ages In the foremost files of time' we are to keen. this a white man's country, doing justice.' wheth er our laxity -amounting lo a crime has already confronted us with race problems, but anticipating other race problems by preventing by law, and by force if needful, the f-artber invasion of other than white races and the further infusion of other than w:iite blood whether it be Chi nese,' Japanese, Hindoo, or negro. "If the determination of Califor nians to exclude Japanese shall re sult In war, it will be the holiest war ever wared by us." BLACK KNIGHTS OF ROUND TABLE moiv MeBentenceu for "Hideous Orgies" MOB STONED THE COUNT "Down With the Moral Leper; Death to the Noble Wife!" Cried the ltu-h-Me and Then a Shower of Stones and Missiles Was Hurled at Him When the Police and Friends Tried to Make a Passage For Him to Leave the Court. - (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Berlin, Oct 29. The Jury has brought in a verdict of guilty against Count Von Moltke, ,Von Moltke started violently when Justice Kern announced the verdict. Then he settled back In his chair like a man struck by a mortal wound. He sobbed aloud. The justice took twen ty minutes to finish reading his judg ment. In that time the count seemed to age as many years. A new horror awaited him as his friends helped him, tottering and trembling, to the court room door. The street was packed and as he ap peared a hurricane of hisses, hoots and epithets and vituperative ' cries fairly swept him from his feet. "Oh I am ruined! I am damned! Would I were dead!" cried the count. His friends tried to force a way for him through the crowd. A shower of stones and debris from the street forced them back.'' "Down with the noble wlfc-beater! Death to the moral leper!" screamed the people, rushing at the group. The police, beating back the throng with the flat of their swords. Anally opened a narWw lane to the count's carriage. Even thru the men cursed and spat at the wretched nobleman as ho was fairly dragged to the cur rlag and lifted into his seat. A detachment of mounted men form ed about him, and thus guarded, he was driven home at top speed. Harden in the meantime was hav ing hard work to escape suffocation under the avalanche of congratula tions. The throng of spectators. dash ed toward him and a clamoring group of friends fairly threw themselves upon the editor, lifted him in their arms, and carried him away from the court room in triumph. Justice Kern in giving his reasons for the decision in Harden's favor, said that the sworn evidence confirm ed the editor's accusations beyond the shadow of a doubt. ; The court believed there was no question concerning the truth of Har dan's charges of hideous orgies among the "Knights of the Round Table" pf whom Von Moltke was pne, Harden was plainly justified, the court continued, in making public the truth concerning the character of JJSJ& manna, m .
