Market Shows Demoralized Tone as a
Result of Hints That Further
Attacks Will Be Made

liy Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.— There wus a demor
alized tone in the short session of the stock
market today, as a wlndup to a week of dls
' order. In the last five minutes of the session
the bears bought with some recklessness to
fall In prices.
With that exception there was no effective
buying at any time and prices crumbled away
almost uninterruptedly under a flood of salea
in all variety of sizes. The Pacific railroad
stocks and the copper Industrials showed the
most acute weakness, keeping their undesira
ble prominence o; the weok. Union Pacific
tell an extreme SH. reporting the maximum
decllno In t)|c active Hat, but the Hill stocks.
Southern Vaclfic. Reading nnd American
Smelting were affected In only less degree
with losses running to four points or more.
The whole market turned on the govern
mental and public attitude towards corpora
tions. •
The statements published this morning as
coming from Attorney General Bonaparte af
ter his Intenrlew yesterday with the president
were thu central factors In the new anxiety
professed by holders of securities. The notice
thus served on the corporations, that they
might look for the pursuit of prosecution to
the possible limit for all discoverable offenses
under the law, caused something like conster
nation In the spoculatlve sentiment In the
market.
Rockefeller, also published this morning, were
regarded aa reHecting so serious a view of tho
situation thnt It added fuel to the flames. The
weakno-i In foreign markets helped on tho
decline. British consols going to a new low
record.
Rumors circulated without verification of un
disclosed money difficulties In London and
Berlin, and the violence of the decline here,
gave rise to uneasiness over the consequences
of the local position. The bank statement, al
though It reveaeled a new increase In the sur
plus reserve, failed to check the decline, and
in fact aggravated It.
¦While three weeks of drastic liquidation of
securities was reflected in a loan contraction of
J16, 107,000, it wan believed that the liquidation
borrowlngH of tile latter part of the week were
not reflected In this showing. Heavy require
ments of the same sort also are to be mot
next week.
The loss of 1,3 12.100 In cash, compared with
/stimates of J1.500.000, showed an unexplained
drain on reserve resources which aroused fears
of further drastic forced liquidation. The
closing tone was feverish and unsettled, and
at only small recoveries from the lowest points
"Total sales of tonds par value J698.000.

CHICAGO GRAIN
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10. -Lack of telegraphic fa
cilities, due to the telegraphers' strike, tended
1 1 paralyze business on the board of trade an'l
pits. At the close wheat for September deliv
ery was down 114 c; corn was off %c; oats
showed a net loss of %4(J%c, and provisions
were 7!4®22!(,c lower.
The wheat market wa3 weak all day on gen
eral selling by pit traders and local longß. Tho
selling' 1 was due mainly to the uncertainty
growing out of the strike and to a fear that
thi situation might become still more acute by
a. spread of the trouble.
A decline in the price of wheat on the Min
neapolis curb also Induced considerable selling.
Favorable weather for the crop was largely
lesponsible for the weakness In the northwest
ern market. Trade was quiet all day. The
market closed weak. September opened %@%o
to 114 c lower at 87%@88c, sold off to Bs%c and
closed at 87V4<a87Vic.
Sentiment in the corn pit was bearish the
entire session because of the strike. Prices,
hewever, showed only a moderate loss because
of fairly good support by a leudtng bull. Th 3
close wan weak. September opened '»'"',.•
lower at 54%@55c, Bold oft to 64% c and cloaca
at M%(554' B e.
The government report and tho strike brought
out considerable [.roflt taking sales In oats mil
caused a sharp slump In prices. September
opened unchanged to 14 clower at ti11,,',-,
sold off to 4414 c and closed at Wn<iiU%c.
Provisions were weak owing to the weakness
oi the grain markets. There were very little
tiading. At the close September pork was oft
21jc, lard was oft 714 c and ribs were 10c lower.

MAILS MISTRESS 1 LETTER
IN THE FIRE ALARM BOX
Swede Servant Girl Gives Department
Long Run
Epeclal to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Auk. 10.— "Mary, I want
you to go to the box on the corner and
mall a letter," said Mrs. George W. Lyle
of Summit avenue, Hackensack, N. J., to
her Swedish servant, Mary Anderson, yes
terday afternoon. At 2:50 o'clock the flre
alarm sounded >Jrom box 45, on the
Heights, and the firemen and horses
scrambled up the Central avenua hill In
the sweltering sun.
Chief of Police Dunn failed to see a flre
and made a few inquiries. He learned
that Mrs. Lyle's servant had been near
the alarm box, and she gave this explana
tion:
"I go to the red box, break the glass,
and pull the bell. I wait a minute and
the door did not open, so I pull the thing
again. I watt, but It was not open, so I
go to another box across the street and
put the letter In a hole."
Chief Dunn took Mary to the street and
showed her the group of angry, sweating
firemen. She cried as though her heart
would break when she realized what she
had done, and when the firemen heard of
the Joke their anger disappeared and they
laughed. Flre Chief Duffy couldn't smile.
He was In Boyota, a mile away, when the
first alarm sounded. He started for the
Heights on his bicycle. When the second
alarm sounded he feared the fashionable
Heights section was all ablaze and
doubled his speed. The chtef was played
out when he reached the top of the hill,
and when Chief Dunn broke the news to
him gently ho almost collapsed.

CONFIDENCE MEN DUPE
CREDULOUS PROFESSORS
POSE AS SAVANTS AND CASH
BOGUS CHECKS
Faculty Members of Several Eastern
Universities Are Victimized by
Clever Sharpers Who Work
Independently
SDeclal to The Herald.
DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 10. — The
various college faculties, especially the
teaching staff of the University of Mich
igan, constitute- the new field recently
Invaded by confidence men and found ex
tremely productive of gain.
Two suave, educated and well groomed
men have toured the east and the mid
dle west, and are said to have duped
several noted professors by securing
loans and getting checks cashed. They
have posed aa "eminent scholars" from
Europe.
Ore of the "scholars," who is described
as possessing a German mustaclre, a email
goatee, a strong German accent, calls
himself August Mau. He asserts he 1b the
author of a famous work on Pompeii, a
familiar volume among professors. Sev
eral Latin instructors have accepted him
as such.
Relies on "Pleasant Laugh"
Colgate 18. Ander&on is the name of
the other savant. He has not put himself
forward so much as a great authority,
but rather has relied on hie "pleasant
laugh and pleasant manner of speech"
to have his checks cashed and loans made
to him.
Details of the operations of the two
men, who 6eem to be working separately,
have been kept a secret by the duped
professors and little is known of them
other than the descriptions they have
furnished their colleagues that they may
be on their guard.
It is known, however, that one of. the
most prominent Latin authorities in the
country, a member of the faculty of the
University of Michigan, has been
"touched" heavily. This professor, on
his own Initiative, has printed handbills
giving a description of the man who
poses as August Mau. He has warned
nearly every col lego in the country, and
in this way l.opes to catch his man and
recover his losses.
This Is What They Look Like
The description of the man who poses
as Mau Is as follows:
"Five feet, 6 Inches high, has a mus
tache and small goatee, a strong German
accent, is Intelligent, calls himself A.
Mau, author of a. celebrated work on
Pompeii. If the person he approaches
Is acquainted with the real August Mau
he changes his talk immediately and de
clares he is a nephew of Mau. 'He shows
a great familiarity with members of the
American Philological association."
Anderson Is described as "ti feet high,
(lender, seems of Swedish blood, has
light blue eyes, large mouth, light brown
hair, prominent ears v a nervous manner,
a pleasant laugh, and a pleasant manner
of speech."
The Michigan professor is said to have
received Mau into hla home, cashed a
large bogus check for him and written
him letters of Introduction to other pro
fessors.
Anderson generally seems to have been
accompanied by a "eister" who Is "wait
ing at the depot." He has "borrowed"
most of the money he has received. His
familiarity with life and personalities at
Harvard and Tale is said to have aided
him materially in hl» plunderinga.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF
YOUNG GIRL EXPLAINED
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10— The mytery which
has surrounded tho death and the strange
accident to Miss Annie Relnhelmer, who
died In the St. Louis city hospital of
blood poisoning and internal Injuries, has
been cleared In a measure by a statement
which the young woman made Just before
her death, and which has just been made
known.
After attending a picnic at New Ath
ens, HI., the young woman's right arm,
which appeared to be bruised, became
badly swollen and blood-poisoning set In.
She told her relatives her arm had been
bruised In a fall during a foot race with
her sister. Later developments showed
that Miss Relnhelmer was suffering from
something besides blood-poisoning, and
an X-ray examination which followed
showed that three ribs on the right side
near the shoulder had been fractured.
After being taken to the hospital and
pressed to make known the cause of the
accident the young woman told her
cousin, Mrs. Mary Kllng of 1439 South Sec
ond street, that In scuffling with a young
man at the picnic for possession of a fan
she had stumbled and fallen. She said
the young man snatched her fan and in
the struggle for it which followed she
had received her injuries, which first
seemed very slight. She did not tell the
young man's name before she died. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict that aha
died from Internal Injuries.
