XEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUTE. SUNDAY. APRIL 14 1007.
COPPER MEN ON PACK.
Preliminary Hearing in United Cop
per Suit Is Finished.
once ni^r* F. Augustus Ilelnze went on the stand
yesterday to bo cross-examined in the suit of
Thomas M. Hodgens to gain access to the books of
the United Copper Company. Once Mr. Hodgens
ww a bo»oni friend of Mr. Heinze. but he isn't
an; more. The testimony yesterday was in tha
hearing before Nicholas Blndsell. in the offices of
Curry & Robinson, at No. » Wall street, prelimi
nary to the trial of the suit, which begins to
morrow in New Jersey.
One of the witnesses was "the youngest bank
president in the United States." Morris Sellers
Larger, who while only twenty-seven yenrs old
became the head of the Heinz; Stato Savings Bank
In Butt*. He was a director at twenty-two. His
evidence gave some indication of rather peculiar
bansiag methods In that part of the country.
When Mr. Heinss went on the stand T. J. Walsh,
of Butte, attorney for Mr. Hodg-ens. took him in
hand and tried to lead him gently into admissions
of some specific Incidents wherein Mr. Hodgens
had in any way threatened him, but he did not
succeed. Then Mr. Hei:ize"s brother, A. P. Ileinae,
of A. P. Helnse & Co., of No. 42 Broadway, under
the guiding hand of F. J. Faults, a Newark law
yer on the Heinze staff, told pome Interesting
things about the manipulation of copper concerns.
Me testified to owning one-fifth of the United Cop
per stock, and owning the majority with his
brothers
Tie told how Mrs. J. p. Larger, mother of "the
younsest bank president." had J1.700.000 lent to her
by the State Savings Bank, and how Mr. Hodgens,
then the cashier of that philanthropic institution,
had reduced her Interest 2 per cent. Mr. Heinzo
talked about the Montana Ore- Producing Company,
Which, be ►aid, never owed the State Savings Bank
more than $350,000, a. much smaller sum than ac
cording to Mr. Hoddens. After discussing the in
ternal affairs of that copper company, he said that
some of tha books of th<* United Cupper Company
were In this city, wMle some were in Hoboken ami
Others In Butte. Ho then told of a meeting be
tween Mr. Horizons and F. Augustus Heinz?. In
which li'- was asked to get Ilodgens "in a .better
frame of mind." Hoddens was worried, the witness
said, apparently over whether or not he was to set
Ji^. fur his preferred stock.
Mr, Walsh, from Butte, big. bluff and with the
heavy, drooping mustache of the Westerner, then
took tlie vitness. He wanted to know about some
previous "mysterious action" with which he had
been accredited at some time by th© witness.
"What was iliere In my manner thai seemed mys
terious' he nsketi, reproachfully.
'•It was mysterious," explained the witness, "be
vause us 1 approached the door you waved your
band this way (Illustrating), us much as to pay.
'Come aside here.' or something lllto that; 'Let me
have a chat with you,' or something; to that effect,
without saying anything."
Mr. H-i;<. also suggested that he did not know
Mr. Walsh— whe pronounces his name Welch — at
first. This seemed to Irritate the Hutte lawyer, us
did .-'lso l:is hiKng called "Walsh" by Mr. Helnse.
"The ;ir>!iit Ih hat Mr. Walsh was very anxious
to meet F. A. Hi*tn7'- on thnt occasion wasn't he?"
asked the attorney.
"Apparently.' 1 whs t:>«- laconic retort.
"Didn't Mr. Walsh <m that occasion tell you how
he had ' ■■ • -si waiting In N»-w York to see you?"
I". Augustus H«'in».- was recalled to the stand
to correct a, statement thnt h.- had mail'! on Krt
day relative to loans made to Otto Utilize & i 'a
hy* th" United Copper Company, He said that ha
luiil Intended to any thai the loans w«-r<* made
rough, and not to, Ms other's concern.
Mr. Laargey, "thf youngest bank president," was
then i ailed to testify.
Fie said that he hail attfrnlod every meeting ol
the board of directors during his service with that
body, but liud nover seen the book in which U.e
minutes w:< % kept until two works after Mr.
Kodgens had retired. While explaining . hie

CAXXON NO "SOONER."
Too Early for a Political Toon
Hunt, lie Thinks
[from The Tribune Bureau. 1
Washington. April 13.— Speaker Cannon paused
outsido the White House office building to-day
to light one of his big black cigars. He had
just spent an hour in the President's office and
the newspaper men gathered around him to get
his ideas of the political outlook.
"I don't see any outlook yet," he said, as he.
took two or three, puffs and gazed reflectively
over at the State. War and Navy Building.
"Now when I was a young fellow we us-^1 to
go 'coon hunting at night. Every one of us
had his do?, and every one of us was will Ing
to swear that his dog was the best 'coon dog
in the whole, blooming neighborhood. Moat of
the dogs were pretty good dogs, too, and could
follow a 'coon all night long over hills and
through bogs, across rivers or through the
woods, and even if It killed them would chase
that old 'coon up a tree. But once In a while
one of those dogs wouldn't be so good. He'd
start out after the 'coon all right, and would
follow him with the rest of the dogs for a while.
but pretty soon he'd suddenly branch off. anl
chase a rabbit or a skunk, or some other crit
ter we didn't want. If ho was that kind of a
dog he wasn't much good, and we called him a
"sooner.*
"Now the political surface is calm. Congress
doesn't meet until m>xt December. It will meet
then ..■ -i oreanii'.e and get down to business
In due time. When it does gel started it will
go ahead In Its wisdom and do Its best. The,
Presidential talk will l-o a little brisker than It
is now. for it -n-il! be near*"- the convention.
which meets a year from next June. But Just
who will bo nominated and who will be elected,
it's pretty hard to tell. Well, anyway, boys, 1 m
no 'sooner.' "

H'BEST T\ CHINA.
Situation Regarded as Critical from
Activity of Revolutionists.
fFrom an Occasional Oorrespa vlent of The Tribune]
Hankow, March 12.— "The people in the Tangtse
valley are In a state of political unrest," say those
In China, but It would rather appear to be all
China, though those In Central China, for various
reasons, are able to show more openly their feel-
Ings and desires.
Last month, beyond Changsha. in the province of
Hunan, there was serious trouble, amounting
almost to an open tattle, between the soldiers
of Hunan and those from Kiangsl. caused by the
refusal of the Kiiigsl troops to deliver over to
the Hunan forces some revolutionists whom they
had captured. The fact was that the revolution
ists were members ef the same secret society with
many of the Kiangsi soldiers, and the soldiers
would not give up the men for reasonably certain
execution.
It appears to be the policy of the revolutionists,
many of them, to join the army, for there they are
clothed, ted and supplied with arms and ammuni
tion, as won as drilled, and they will be In the best
position to strike when the favorable* moment ar
rives. This condition is one of th« gravest factors
in the present troubles to be taken Into considera
tion. A few men of revolutionary tendencies,
quietly working among 1% body of men who have
not much else to do but to listen to teachers, can
make many converts quietly among a class of men
who are open to the new teaching of the revolu
tion.
About the first of the nonth there was a con
siderable scare In Shanghai over a strike In the
settlement of the house boys, and rumors of general
trouble. Tho gunboats from up the Tangtse and
from other prints were quietly sent for and assem
bled at Shanghai for usa In the event of serious
trouble.
On March 3, at Wuchang, the capital city of
Hupeh, opposite Hankow, more than a thousand
of the Chines** soldiers, troops from tho provinces
of Chill and Shantung, and detached from the
northern army to aid In the suppression of tho
Ping Ilsiang rebellion in Ki.mgst, started a riot.
The origin of tlio trouble is .supposed to have been
the fact that they nad not received any pay for a
long time. At once these men were ordered to be
disbanded and their uniforms and arms to be
taken from them. They were threatened with ar
rest, but th* Hqpeh troops were afra:d to encounter
them. The geoeral. Chang P'iao, in command of
the forces at Wuchang, tried to pacify them, and
was mobbed. Tho viceroy. Chang Chih Tun.c. ap
peared before them, thinking to end the trouble.
;iml he was Insulted and warned to refrain from in
terfeivnce. Delegations were sent to him makl::s
demands, but the soldiers wero not awed in the
least by tho threats made to them.
Slices were loott-U. .'.. it a number of inoffensive

Encouraging is the evidence that progress,
railways are doing everything in their powerto
secure the best administrative talent at the head
of their actual working operation. The moment
that Stuyvesant Fish became at liberty hisl»r*
vices— tho advantage of his counsel his co
operation— were secured for Missouri PacMa
by tiecrge J. Gould, Mr. Fish brines to th»
Missouri Pacific directorate character and stand-
Ing- which cannot be impugned. Of like im
portance 13 the election of Leon F. Lores to th«
presidency of Delaware & Hudson in «uccefi
st->n, to Mr. Wlllcox. who retires because of
impairment of health. Messrs. Fish and Lores
represent the very highest railroad executive
capacity and the loftiest standards of honor
When such men are eagerly sought for by oar
great railroad systems there is no warrant left
for the yellow attempt to depict corporations as
characterless and predatory.
Easiness of money Is now seen to be a natural
movement. In !•>• York both call and time
funds are borrowable at very low rates. in
Laasfen the Hank of England has just reaucad
Its drscount rate from 3 to V 3V 3 per cent, and In
the open market in London plenty of money is
offered at lower figures than the minimum tjar.lc
rat?. Some of this result is no doubt due to
liquidation of speculative accounts followtns our
March 14 panic, but more still is due to th»
natural seasonal accumulation of fur.da at all
the great centres. And there is all the time
goinsr on a steady Increase in the addition to
Bold, production of which metal reaches record
breaking volume.
Immediate effect of this money movement Is
likely to be felt •.. dividend paying stocks where
the net yieU is mow larj-rr than the Interest
that can be derived from loanable fur.es. Con

as the companies are earning much more than
they are paying. It would take long protracted
hard times to threaten these present dividend
rates. And bought around present levels profits
from advancirs Quotations are more than, prob
able. Considerations of this character power
fully appeal to foreign investors, who are always
in keen search of the combination of safety
and yield.
Odd»Tot buying continues on an unprecedented
scale. Savings banks presidents state that since
the panic there have been unusual withdrawals
of deposits for the purpose of investment li
stocks. This reveals the public in .1 r.e'v light
to Wall Street. Instead of speculating on th!n
margins, small capitalists are picking up bar
gains. The assrresuf* or their transactions runs
to hundreds of thousands of share?, resulting
In steady decrease of what WaU Street terms
"floating supply." Later on. this must make
short covering mr»re difficult than heretofore.
