BRAINSTORMS III
T
Frenzied Selling without Ap
parent Cause Supporting
Measures Useless
By Associated Press.
NEW YOHK, March 2.1. Today's
stock market defies a clear aualysis.
Surface facts upon which there is no
room for disputo are that thero was un
bridled impulse to sell securities and
almost an entire paralysis of domnnd.
The consequonces to prices were such
as might be imagined. That urgent
necessity was foreing the holders of
securities to part with them did not ap
pear from the facts known to the pub
lie. . JS.nnks are not calling loans and a
withdrawal of credits by money lenders
could not be asserted as the impelling
eause of the slump. Large speculation
in "copper securities in this market had
boon based upon confident assumption
of conditions in the metal market. This
eonfidonce was shaken and metal indus
tries proved extremely vulnerable as a
eonsequonce, including United States
Stool stocks.
Operations of the bear contingent in
the market are believed to have taken
on greater proportions. The short side
in at least one instance is believed to
be of prodigious proportions. Opera
tions seemed to be entirely unopposed
on behalf of the controllers here or out
side in any property. A striking fea
ture of tho situation seemed to be the
consensus among labor interests that
supporting measures would be futilo to
eheck tho soiling frenzy.
Influential men in the banking world
did not hesitate to characterize the sell
ing as prompted by "insane fear."
Fears of coming prostration of busi
ness or the stripping of powers of imm
inent and control from eorjwrations are
alleged as the principal grounds for
alarm.
6IS6EE MINING
MEN IN GLOBE
Lem Shattuck, Byron Pattison
and Arthur Houle Here to
Inspect Smelter
. L. ('. Shattuck, the millionaire mine
owner of Uisbee; Byron M. Pattison,
general manager and a big owner ol
the Shattuck and tho Denn-Arizona
mines, and Arthur Houle, formerly su
perintendent of the Old Dominion and
now engaged in independent engineer
ing work in Arizona and Sonora, arrived
in Globe last evening from Bisbee.
They are here for tho purpose of look
ing over tho Old Dominion smelter.
The Shattuck and Denn-Arizona com
panies at a recent meeting of tho direct
ors at Duluth, decided to erect a big
smelter at Douglas to reduce the ores
of both mines, and Messrs. Shattuck,
Pattison and JIoulo came here for the
purposo of inspecting thoOld Dominion
reduction plant, which is considered the
finest equipped smelter for its size in
the country. The Shattuck mine is now
shipping in the vicinity of 300 tons of
ore daily to the Copper Queon smoltor
at Douglns and tho Denn, iu which rich
bodies of oro have rcceutly been dis
covered, will soon be one of the big
shippers of tho Warren district.
This is Mr. Shattuck 's first visit to
Globe in twenty-three years and, al
though he naturally expected to find
changes, he stated last evening that he
did not expect to see such a largo and
prosperous camp. Twonty-four years
ago Mr. Shattuck was working as a
miner at tho old Pioneer mine and one
of the first men ho met in Globe was
Jack Newman, with whom ho formerly
worked. Although twenty-four years
had passed Mr. Shattuck recognized his
former follow miner and tho latter did
not have much difficulty iu recalling
him after ho had declared himself. Mr.
Iloule, who resided in Globo five years
ago, was also busy renewing formor
acquaintances last evening. The party
will remain hero several days before
returning to Bisbea.

Sacramento for Relief Wa

Steadily Rising,
By Asociated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 23.
With practically all the down-river isl
ands under water, only Grand, Shermau,
Sutter and Merritt islauds being safe,
tho worst Hood in the history of this
rich agricultural district is now a mat
ter of record.
Even the Pearson district, whoro the
hardest 'fight ever made by the river
ranchers has been going on for a week,
is now submerged.
A too vivid picture cannot bo drawn
of the awful destruction which has
ruined crops and put land worth mil
lions of dollars temporarily out of eouH
mission. A message was scut to Sacrn
mento this morning asking that a relief
boat be sent to the Pearson district to
save stock. Since that time telephonic
communication with Courtlaud and all
other down-river points has beon cut
oil and nothing more has ben heard
from the flooded district.
Steamer Goes to Belief
The steamer Fruto has been sent to
Pearson district on its second mission
of reliof and is momentarily expected
to return with a cargo of stock rescued
from tho flood. Tho Pearson district is
one of the chief dairying parts of the
county and although tluresidents are
making desperate efforts to protect tho
cattle, probably many hundreds will bo
lost. The water is reported four feet
deep in the district and rising rapidly.
The break is widening and it is feared
there may be destruction of human life
before the flood subsides.
The flood is expected to reach the
crest tomorrow and the danger point
will be passed before Friday.

PARIS, March 25. Telegraphic in

to occupy Ojada means that troops will

sentiment has been aroused by in
timations that Germany inspired tho at
tack which resulted iu the assassination
of Dr. Mauchamp at Morocco City, and
this itas been fanned by War Minister
