PUTS BULLET IN BODY Deed of New York Financier Attribut­ ed to Distress of Mlrwl Over Loss of Fortune and Standing. Hetty Green's comment that a girl who seeks a husband abroad deserves what she gets, is putting it gently, but It should be construed from the strict­ ly snappish point of view. A Pittsburg father who spanked his ,<5-year-old daughter for staying out late at night was upheld by the judge.

New York.--Charles Tracy Barney, the deposed president of the Knicker­ bocker Trust cc-mpany, and until re­ cently a power in the financial world, shot and killed himself Thursday in his home. His loans with the bank, it is said, are amply secured, and when he was forced from its presidency he was, to all intents and purposes, eliminated as a factor in banking circles. ^ What ill effects his unexpected tak ing off might have had on the fflsaa- cial situation generally had long since beeu discounted. In distress of mind over the dissipation of his private for tune and the loss of high standing acjong business associates, intimate acquaintances find the hidden drift that broke his health and reason. Much of his personal wealth might have been saved. At the time that Carney was dying at his home £t East Thirty-eighth street and Park avenue, and •surgeons probed for a bullet that, misdirected by a nerve­ less hand, had entered the body below the heart, a handful of friends at a downtown office were concluding an aiTangement by which the loose ends of the banker's many enterprises were to be gathered up and financed a fetock company which, if not wholly successful, would at least res­ cue from the wreckage sufficient to in­ sure the promoter's future financially. The conference broke up at the an­ nouncement that Mr. Barney wwas dead. * Mr. Barney, who was in his fifty- seventh year, shot himself early in the day, while alone in his chamber at the rear of the second floor of his home. The bullet entered below the heart and lodged under the left shoul­ der blade. He died about 2:30 o'clock after suffering intensely. Bank Cashier a Suicide. Kansas City, Mo.--J. B. Thomas, cashier of the Bank of Albany, of Al­ bany, Mo., a prominent Democratic politician and former grand master of the Masonic Order of Missouri, com­ mitted suicide at the Midland hotel in this city Friday, leaving no message to explain his action. There is no evidence that the affairs of the Bank of Albany are involved in the tragedy, the surviving officers having asserted emphatically that they knew of no reason for the sui­ cide of Cashier Thomas. Thomas registered at tha hotel at 8:30 o'clock Thursday night apd went directly to his room, and was not seen alive again by the employes of the hotel. When no response was given to repeated knockings on the door, a carpenter forced an entrance. Thomas was found dead in the bathroom, fully dressed, with a bullet hole in his right temple and clutching a pistol in his hand. The coroner decided that he had been dead several hours. Thomas was 60 years old and had been cashier of the. Bank of Albany since 1880. Before that time he had held several important political of­ fices and he had continued to take an active part in politics. His son, Claude Thomas, is cashier of a bank at Grav­ ity, la., and a daughter, Mrs. Dr. Sta- pleton, lives at La Harpe, Kan. His widow is living. The other officers of the Bank of Al­ bany are: C. H. Kent, president; J. L. McCullough, vice president, and M. O. Mothersead, assistant -cashier. The bank has a capital stock of $40,000, and a surplus and undivided profits amounting to $20,000, according to its last statement. Friends of the dead banker at Al­ bany stated that he had suffered much mental anguish of late because of un­ fortunate personal business ventures. COHFESSES HE WAS A 8PT ENSIGN ULMO. OF FRENCH NAVY,, ADMITS QUILT IN COURT. Anti-Semitic Paper Asserts Magistrate Hawi Proof of German Ad* mlral's Complicity. Paris.--Ensign Ulmo, who was ar­ rested last month at Toulon.charged with being a spy, confessed his guilt Thursday when confronted in court with the original of a telegram which* he had filed at Toulon, addressed to an agent of a foreign power. . The dispatch had been written in a disguised hand and was not signed, but before handing it in to the clerk Ulmo absent-mindedly made a cor­ rection in his own handwriting and gave his own name to the clerk in compliance with the regulations re­ quiring the name of a sender of a tele­ gram. Ulmo told the magistrate that the foreign power in question had re­ fused his offers to s§31 information on the ground that the price he asked was too high. The Libre Parole declares that the connection of Admiral Siegel, the Ger­ man naval attache here, who has just been recalled, with Ensign Ulmo, has been established by documents which are now in the hands of M. Leydet, the examining magistrate, who is in­ quiring into the charges against Ulmo. The paper adds that their correspond­ ence was carried op through Hebrew intermediaries, but that a personal meeting between Ulmo and Siegel oc­ curred in Paris last August, and that Siegel's recall was due to J,he fact that he was compromised. - , v , i | S A M P L E S D I S T R I B U T E D . ^ „ «J j ' r _ i- WALSH'S SIDE IS STATED. Attorney Ritsher Makes Opening Speech for Accused Financier. Chicago. -- Assistant United States District Attorney Fletcher Dobyns completed his statement of the case of the government against John R. Walsh, on trial for alleged misapplication of funds of the defunct Chicago National bank, of which he was president, at noon Thursday. In the afternoon Attorney E. C. Ritsher of counsel for Walsh made his open­ ing speech in defense of the financier. In the course of his address Mr. Ritsher said it was probable that it would be charged by the prosecution that loans in excess of 10 per cent, of the capital stock had been made to certain companies. He said that this was a violation of the banking laws, but did not constitute a criminal of­ fense. Nearly every bank violated the rules, he said, and violations were countenanced by the comptroller. Here he was interrupted by Attor­ ney Dobyns. Mr. Dobyns objected and wa>s sustained by Judge Anderson, who said: "I can't see why one violation of the law excuses another. Even if all of the banks violate this section that cannot be pleaded here," 1*-* --t 1 "A ' f n PANAMA BONO ISSUE "Stl-SSs 8ECRETARY CORTELYOl/ A8K8 BIDS'FOR $50,000,000.

Louisville, Ky. -- For the second time in seven months Louisville is suffering- from a street car strike, the 850 union employes of the Louisville Railway company having walked out early Friday morning. The first day of the strike, however, was not marked by anything ap­ proaching the disorder that attended the strike last April, and when the partial service furnished during the day was discontinued at nightfall only 20 arrests had been made, virtually all of them for "disorderly conduct," which charge covered mainly the throwing of an occasional brick or jeering at the nonunion men. The company operates, on a normal basis, between 600 and 700 cars. It was announced by the officials that when service was suspended Friday evening they had 40 cars running. Only about a dozen cars were run dur­ ing the morning, and only a few pas­ sengers were carried during the day. The service was suspended in order to give the police a rest, the entire force having been on duty for over 24 hours. Five hundred strike-breakers ar­ rived during the day from Chicago and Indianapolis, and 200 more were expected. Adding to these the 200 nonunion employes who did not go out, the company officials claim they have almost a full force and will give practically a normal service. The strikers claim to have won over a number of nonunion men during the day. All talk of mediation or concilia­ tion has been abandoned and the af­ fair is regarded as a finish fight by the public as well as by the strikers and company officials. PRANTZ SULKS IN HIS TENT.

Springfield, 111. -- The state board of equalization, which has ' been in session ten days after the limit al­ lowed by law, adjourned Wednesday morning. The report of the railroad committee shows a total assessment of railroads in Illinois to be about $100,000,000, an increase of $5,000,000 over 1906. The assessment on capital stock of corporations in the state is $10,608,100, about $2,000,000 less than the assessed valuation for 1906. This is explained by the fact that the tangible stock of Chicago corporations has been assessed at a much higher valuation by the local assessors than last year. In 1907 the total equalized value of personal property in Illinois is $246,- 819,650. The total equalized value of lands is $371,904,086. The total equal­ ized value of lots is $499,898,662.

Washington.--Secretary Cortelyou Sunday night made the Important an­ nouncement that as a means of afford­ ing relief to the financial situation, the treasury would issue $50,000,000 of Panama bonds, and $100,000,000 cer­ tificates of indebtedness, or so much thereof as may be necessary. The certificates will run for one year and Will bear three per cent, interest. Secretary Cortelyou says that ,th« Panama bonds will afford most sub­ stantial relief, as the law provides that they be used as a basis for ad­ ditional national bank circulation. He also states that the proceeds from the sale of certificates can be made di­ rectly available at points where the ne6d is most urgent, and especially for the movement of crops, which, he says, "if properly accelerated, will give the greatest relief and result, in the most Immediate financial returns." The secretary calls attention to the attractiveness of the bonds and cer­ tificates as absolutely safe invest- toents. Secretary Cortelyou adds that these relief measures will enable him to meet public expenditures without withdrawing for that purpose any ap­ preciable amount of the public moneys now deposited in national banks throughout the country. Two treasury circulars, one Inviting proposals for the issue of bonds, and the other ask­ ing for the certificates, will be sent Out under date of November 18.

The president also calls attention to what is needed most at this time is that the people should "realize how fundamentally sound business condi­ tions in this country are, and how ab­ surd it is to permit themselves to get into a panic and create a stringency by hoarding their savings instead of trusting perfectly sound banks/' MOW.

Lltuiaville Strikers Inflamed by Wife of Conductor. Louisville, Ky.--Two policemen were injured by bricks, five men were arrested and a number of persons clubbed as the fesult of a -riotous demonstration made by striking street car employes and their friends Sun­ day afternoon. • That the affair did not result more seriously was due to the prompt ar­ rival of police reserves,, who broke up the crowd before it could be further inflamed. A mass meeting of strike sympathizers was held at a hall in the central part of the city, at which heated speeches were made, but the crowd did not become fired until an address was delivered by the wife of a discharged conductor. Her remarks so worked on the feelings of the as­ semblage that when the meeting broke up an impromptu parade of over 2,000 persons was formed and marched about the business district. There was a large sprinkling of women and they incited the crowd to stone the cars. The fight with the police fol­ lowed. Useless.
