CONSOLIDATED IN DEAL
Plan to Center Entire Atlan
tic Coastwise Shipping
. v Trade, y
New York, Oct. 25. The recent report
that Charles W. Morse ,was planning
radical changes in the management of
the constituent companies comprising
the Consolidated Steamship lines was
confirmed to-day when1 the directors of
the different companies met in this city
and made various changes In their
management. The effect of these
changes was the practical restoration
of the active management, of several
Hf the subsidiary companies to their
former owners and managers.'
Calvin Austin,' president of the Con
solidated Steamship lines and the head
of all the subsidiary companies, ex
cepting tho New York and Porto Rico

Ward and Mallory lines. He was suc
ceeded by H. P. Booth and Henry R.
Mallory, respectively, who had form
erly been at the head of those compa
nies. -,
There were unconfirmed reports to
night that to-day's changes meant that
J. P. Morgan & Company, and the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road had entered the affairs of the
shipping combine with powerful Influ
ence and that thus was forshadowed a
greater combine, including the Morse
companies and the New Haven road's
marine lines, to control the entire Am
erican coastwise shipping trade of the

NINE MORE BAfo
CLOSE THEIR DOORS
Believed to Be Solvent But
Temporarily Suspend to
Avoid Possible
Runs.
New York, Oct. 25. Another
nerve-racking day has passed, but the
financial institutions of New York
have shown extraordinary power of
resistance to the pressure put .upon
them. While It is true that several
minor institutions liave been forced to
close their doors,' yet two things
should be said about them first, that
the amount Involved was not so great
as to exert any marked Influence 6n
the general situation, as these banks
were located In residential quarters
and did not come Into touch with the
larger financial institutions of the
.metropolis, and, second, that there' Is
every reason to believe that these
banks and trust companies are entire
ly solvent and their difficulties will
prove to be only temporary. ., '
The institutions which closed their
doors to-day, with the sums due de
positors, were: The United States Ex
change bank, Harlem, $800,000; In
ternational Trust company, about
1100,000; the Borough Bank of Brook
lyn, 44 0 0 0,0 0 0; the Brooklyn bank,
$2,300,000; Wlllamsburg Trust com
pany, Brooklyn, $7,500,000; and the
First National bank of Brooklyn,
$3,500,000 The First National bank
of Brooklyn, the 'Williamsburg Trust
company and the International Trust
company were allied Institutions
None of these companies had any im
portant business connections- with tho
larger blanks which are representative
of the city s financial affairs. . '
- Favorable Features.
On the other hand, a number of fa-1
vorable features marked the day. The
Trust Company of America and the
Lincoln Trust company, the two or
ganizations which have suffered most
from runs, have been slowly paying
out to their depositors' and closed to
day with all demands having , been
met.. In the case of the Trust Com
pany of America the run has well-
nigh ppent Its force, as the great bulk
of the depositors have been paid, off.
At the close of business there were a
good many In line at the Lincoln Trust
company, but there also was a marked

The future fate of the Figure Eight
or Rollor Coaster which has had such
a precarious career at .Savin Rock was

In
MANY COUNTS OF THEFT
Stole From Every Depart
ment Store In New
Haven in 1902.
In the arrest made by the police of
Hartford Thursday of Ethel Foote a
woman with a considerable record, in
tho line of stealing has been brought
Into the limelight' after several years
of apparent oblivion. ' Mrs, Foote was
taken in Hartford- on a eha-rge of, im
personating a Salvation army girl and
collecting funds (in that character.
Mrs. Foote was ajrested in this city In
1902 for theft, and her record showed
that she had stolen from every de
partment store In the city and from a
number' of other persons, and In con
sequence she was given a fine of $167
and sent to serve 130 days in jail.
There were twenty-two counts of
theft against her at that time.
Later she went to Bridgeport, where
she was again arrested and served a
jail sentence. While in this city she
lived with her husband and a boy at
5 4 Crown street. 1 .
Mrs. Foote was arrested under the
name of Viola Foote in Hartford and
is held pending the continuance of her
case. 'It is expected that there will
i be evidence of her arrest in New Jbrk
and Philadelphia, as well as in Con
I nectlcut cities. It is said that she has
also operated in other places. ,
Harry Foote, the husband, is, said
' by the local police to have lived prac
tically on his wife. , They occupied a
couple of rooms when they lived here.
Upon his wife's arrest Mr., Foote at
first was very indignant: Afterward
he claimed that she was a morphine
fiend, and that he was a man high In
societv, but his wife's condition had
dragged him down from the j positotn
he might have occupied. ,

properly run a hospital, according to
Mr Coddlngton, the superintendent of
the New Haven Institution, a.nd as
there are but three members of the
prudential committee It would be an
Interesting psychological discovery to
find out just whom the third member,
Dr. 'George Elumer, met. j -
At any rate Mr. Coddlngton submit-
led a report on the case of Josenh
Kobel, who lay unclaimed and forgot
ten In the morgue for eighteen days
after he iled of typhoid fever, and
Dr. Blumer moved and seconded and
carried the motion that the matter be
laid on the table until the next week
when the other two members of tho
committee should return with the full
knowledge of how to successfully run. -an
Institution for the cure of disease.
The contents of the report will not',
be made public in' full till the return ;
of the ijther members of the pruden
tial committee, but Dr. Blumer told
the Journal and Courier last night ,
the reasons offered by, the - hos- r
pltal for t'c storing of the body in
the hospital morgue.,' .Not y a word;,
was said In the report about the ex
istence of tho M)dy being forgotten,' ,
the reason for keeping it in tho
morgue . being that the authorities .
were awaiting the' members of Kobel's
family paying the expense of the re-
moyal of the body. - Day after, day the
hospital waited, and finally Kobel's
family, -in whom the hospital ' rested
its hopes, backed down, and the hos- ,
Riti had only the body as a fesult of
Its . treatment
Turning to the town of Seymour,
the hospital authorities" met quite &
different reception. As soon as it wad
proven that the case was a Seymour
one the town sent the W. L. Ward
company after t'.io bedy and secured
Whether the hospital authorities ;
even asked the claimants who they
were is a question, ! as Inquiry -.there
the night before last as to who took
away the body, was unsatisfied, but at
any rate some one got the corpse,
after it had laid eighteen days In state
In the morgue, and the hospital was
happy for it was not out financially
on account of the case.
Eli Whitney, president of the hos-,
pltal, and acting president of Tale, ar
Well as the head of the New Haven
Water company and chairman -of the
board of education, naturally has not
time to look Into a matter of so little '-
consequence and says that the matter
Is up to the prudential committee of ' ,
the Institution, of which, he is presi
dent, and that the looking after the
disposal of the body was up to the au
thorities of the institution of which he
is president Whether he meant that
It was up to Yale, the water company,
the board of education or the hospital
to dispose of the 'body was a question
after this ambiguous answer, but Mr,
Whitney later promised to look Into
the matter.
Dr. Blumer also will look Into the
matter. 'Not only this, but since his f
attention Has been called to It by the 3,
public press, he will make a thorough
investigation of it, providing the other "JJ
members of the prudential committee
agree. Mr. uoaamg-ton wiu iook into
it, the night clerk, Mr. Hall, will un
doubtedly help, and also the day
force, so It seems that now the matter
will not pass unnoticed.
However, Health Officer Wright
says the matter is noining 10 nun
until a complaint has been made. He
was in Branford last night and no
complaint reached him there when he
was interviewed by the Journal and
Courier. -
