MORGAN'S 816 STEEL TRUST
Host Colossal Financial Scheme Ever
Dreamed by Man—Do Away With
All Other International Money
Agencies—Morgan, Roths
childs, and All the
Greatest Capitalists
of the World.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, June 8.—According to the
London correspondent of the World It
is reported there that J. P. Morgan is
engaged in arranging for the establish
ment of a great Anglo-American bank
with a capital of $1,000,000,000. It Is stated
that it Is proposed to abolish all of the
principal financial agencies and banks
already engaged in Anglo-American bus
iness.
The proponed Institution, It Is said,
is intended to be the principal agency
for the already vast and rapidly grow
ing banking transaction between Europe
and America.
Mr. Morgan is understood to have as
sociated with him in the stupendous un
dertaking not only the principal capital
ists who aided In the organization of the
United States Steel corporation, but also
the Rothschild»}.
Several times since the panic of May
It has been reported in Wall street that,
Mr. Morgan Intended, to organize a bank

Washington, June 8.— Mrs. McKin

about two hours today and subsequently
a very complete statement of the true
character of the illness from which she
has been suffering was Issued.
Such a statement had been prepared
from time to time, and while in San
Francisco it was said the president de
sired a full announcement of the nature
of Mrs. McKlnely's illness given to the
public. But for one reason or another
(t has been withheld to the present time.

Infection resulting from perlositis of the
Index finger (bone felon) which began In
Los Angeles and which was promptly
treated by Incision. The subsequent
condition of exhaustion was due to the
same blood infection asseversITed with a
diarrhoea. She improved, however, and
was broughFTiome In comfort and with
out loss of strengtlr. The principal cause
of anxiety in her case since her arrival
In Washington has been acute endocar

"This does not appear to be progres

In the diarrhoea and in her general con
dition. Mrs. MoKfnley's case at the

The statement that Mrs. McKinley s
case at this time presents a more hope
ful aspect is the best word that has
come from the sick room since the ar
rival of the distinguished patient in
Washington. The president feels con
siderably encouraged. Today was Mrs.
McKinley's birthday and many beau

White House for her.

have been invariably denied at the of
fice of J. P. Morgan & Co. The organ
ization of a bank with a capital stock of
a billion dollars is an undertaking of a
nature so collosal that nothing ever ap
proaching it has ever been hinted at be
fore.
The aggregate capital of the 64 national
banks in Greater New York la barely
$100,000,000. Two banks only are capi
talized at $10,000,00 each, the National
City and the National Bank of Com
merce. The greatest bank In the world
—the Bank of England—has. a capital of
$72,765,000. The bank of' France has a
capital of 182,500,000 francs, or about $36,
500,000. The combined capitalizations of
the bank of Spain, the bank of England,
and the Banque Imperiale Ottomans, the
government bank of Turkey, falls far
short of $100,000,000.
When It was reported last month that
Mr. Morgan intended to organise a bank
in this city with a capital stock of $100,
000,000, the project was declared to be im
practicable by conservative banking men
because of the tax on capitalization.
August Belmont, the New York repre
sentative of the Rothschilds, who, ac
cording to the London dispatch, are as
sociated with Mr. Morgan in the vast
banking scheme, is not at his home in
Hempstead, and nothing could be learned
in New York city concerning the rumor
of the mammoth bank.
HELENA FREE TO ROY WATER
End of Suit to Prevent Acquirement of
Muncipal Plant—Company
Beaten in Court.
(Special to Inter Mountain.)
Helena, June 8.—Judge Clements in
the district court today denied the in
junction asked by the Helena Water
Works company to prevent the city of
Helena from paying any money out of
the city treasury, on the ground that
the legal limit debt has been already
exceeded, and the company's claim of
$52,500 Under a conttract for the city
water supply has not been paid.
This leaves the city free to pay cur
rent expensed. Wages and salaries have
not been paid on account of the tenij
porary restraining order for two months
past, but this Is now dissolved.
The object of the application was to
prevent the city from going ahead with
proceedings to obtain a municipal water
supply, and to force it to come to terms
with the water company.
A NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF EMPLOY

The proposition of F. N. Savage, su

at Joliet, 111., to hold a national confer

the welfare of employes, has been
brought to the attention of the local la
bor organisations, and will probably be
acted upon by the various Butte bodies.
The plan Is one of the most unique ever
suggested, and it Is believed by many
labor leaders that it will be productive
of great good In bringing about more
friendly relations between capital and

BREAKS DOWN IN COURT ROOM
Goes Into Hysterics and Trial Has to
Be Suspended—No Remorse for
Killing Her Husband, But
Love for a Brother Who Is
Implicated, Causes the
Outbreak.
(By Associated Press.)
Kansas City, June 8.—Lulu Prince
Kenr.eiy cried convulsively in ihe court"
room this morning when a witness tes
tified to a conversation held with the
prisoner's favorite brother, Bert Prince
a few minutes after the killing of Ken
nedy. Mrs. Kennedy was removed from
the room in an effort to quiet her, but
when she was brought back a few min
utes later she sobbed aloud and finally
collapsed entirely. Unable to proceed
with the trial, Judge Wofford ordered an
adjournment until Monday and the pris
oner moaning and crying aloud was car
ried bodily across the corridor to her cell.
This was the first real sign of a break
down the prisoner has displayed since
the killing in January last the cool atti
tude and apparent careless bearing she
had shown having completely puzzled the
officers who have her in their care.
Miss Bertie Litchfield, a former school
mate of Bert Prince, was on the stand

Yesterday she told of Prince being in the
Ridge building at the time of the murder
and of his conversation with her at the

AMERICAN TRADE IN COREA
We Ship Nearly a Million Dollars
Worth of Kerosene Annually to
the Hermit Kingdom.
Washington, June 8.—Consul General
Allen at Seoul, in a communication to
the state department, submits a re
port on Korea's commerce and estimates
the value of America's trade with that
empire.
The total trade of Korea for 1900, in
cluding native imports and goods re-ex
ported is set down at $13,690,2 L3. The
net Importation was valued at $6,550,
925. The chief item of American im
ports was kerosene, which was valued
last year at $8S6,815. Next % order, in
this connection, comes mining suppltes,
of which at least $150,,000 worth was im
ported from the United Sttates last
year. American imports into Korea, the
consul general states, have more than
doubled In the past year and the trade
is growing. Korea's total exportation
of 1E00 amounted to $4,790,000.
calculated to disorganize industry and
create discontent among employes. It has
been, and is yet, a question how far
the manager of a large firm or corpor
ation can interest himself in the personal
affairs and general welfare of employes,
consistent with sound business principles.
The creation of a spirit of dependence
and the development of fraternalism
would not only be demoralizing, but de
structive. We cannot be guided by ef
forts made in Europe in behalf of the
wage earner, as the fraternal idea has
generally prevailed there.
"Anyway, the heads of large business
enterprises have not the time to give
personal attention to tae general welfare
of the great body of employes, even if
their doing so were not calculated to
create complications« therefore, efforts
in their behalf, I think, must necessarily
be delegated to others.**

versation being related and Judge Wof
ford reserved his decision until today,
announcing this morning that the state
would be permitted to give the testimony.
The theory of the state is that Bert
Prince, together with his brother Will
and his father C. W. Prince, ail of whom
are awaiting trial on a charge of com
plicity in the murder, had conspired with
! Mrs. Kennedy to kill Kennedy and that
the male members of the family were
present in the building watching the
different entrances to prevent his es
cape.
Miss Litchfield today testified to hav
ing seen Bert Prince on the floor above
Kennedy's office a moment after the
shooting..
"T told him," said Miss Litchfield,
"that I had been downstairs, that some
one had been hurt. Bert said, 'Lulu did
it; she gave him what was coming to
him. He did not treat her right and she
fixed him."
At this point Mrs. Kennedy gave way
to a fit of crying and was taken from
the room. Bert Prince who is a travel
ing musician, has since her incarnation
done more than any other member of ths
family to make the prisoner's situation
bearable, frequently holding concerts in
her cell and Mrs. Kennedy had shown
her favoritism for him and keen regret
that his name has any connection with
the case.
