John V. I-angley, who rami In I ruin Iteno yesterday, stated that a
capitalist of that city had told him that Mr. Rickey would lend his finan
cial aid to the baiikH that were uade f his control. As the days go by, the
feeling becomes stronger that the State Hank und Trust Company will
resiiine In a few days, and puy Its de poMtors dollur (or dollar.
An attempt was made, yesterday in Gohlfield tol";ive a receiver ap
pointed for the State llnnk and Tru st Company, but Judge Langan threw
the motion out of court for the rea son that a proper showing had not
been made. A telegram was also received by Judge Langan from Attor
ney General Stoddard asking hi in w hen he rould be at Carson to bear
(he application of the Hank Commissioners in the matter of appointing a
receiver for the State Rank. His honor also received a telegram from
T. It. Kickey, asking him to defer ae tion in the matter, as he did not
think tliut the appointment of a receiver would be necessary, the prob
ability being that the bank would resume.
The law in the case of a receiver Is that the State Itank Examiner
shall examine the affairs of a bank, and report to the Itank Commis
sioners, comprising the Governor, Secretary of State, and the State Treas
urer, as to the solvency of the concern. If the bank Is found to be In
solvent, the Itank Commissioners make application to the courts for the
, appointment of a receiver.
A number of the largest depositors of the State Bank "and Trust
Company met yesterday for the purpose of extending all the aid pos
sible to the bank. It was agreed that they would accept . the bank's
paper for ninety days, and that they would put In more deposits. The
depositors then got out with a petition to this effect, and had secured
last night a great many inore names of depositors.
In this city there is not the slightest donbt expressed as to the State
Hank opening, . and fulfilling all Its obligations. 'There Is not a depositor
who has evinced any feeling of uneasiness.
There have been rumors to the effect that there would be a general
re-opening on Monday, but the more conservative men are not so san
guine as to that. Each bank here is one of a string of banks, and the
gathering in of the reserves takes in ore time than If there were but ono
bank to consider. The news from G oldtleld Is to the effect that the John
S. Cook bank will resume on Mouriu y, but for the matter of that the
Wingflcld and Nixon banks did not w ant to close In the first place. They
Olavc in their Tonopah, Goldfield and Rhyolite houses more than enough
.ii- cash to pay all their depositors. ; . - : ,."
The officers -of the Nye and Oriusby County banks have not .yet de
' dared when they will lie ready to re mi inc. When they do resume, they

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.- Prices were generally pretty well bus-
tained today, but weak spots constantly developed. It was said
that the only buyers in' the market were bears who had shorts to
cover. The brokers who secured portions of the $25,000,000
loaned late yesterday by the bankers pool found themselves In
comfortable circumstances today and were allowed a renewal at
the rate of 20 per cent. Bankers are said to be advising stock-
brokers against undertaking any business except for cash, the a
effect being to relieve, so far, the money stringency. The amount
of business done on this, basis was surprisingly large and the am-
ount of cash which changed hands in the brokers' offices during
the day might afford a clue to the destination of some of the funds
that were being withdrawn from deposits with banking lnstitu-
tions. The belief that the situation was clearing in the financial ;
center here In New York was the' paramount influence In the
dwindling of runs on the Trust Company of America and Its colon- 1
tal branch, and was accepted as a subsidence of the greatest dan-
ger. Further deposits of government funds were made with the
banks. Prices rose rapidly In the latter part of the day and closed :
strong at best prices. There wa-s hope that by Monday when
loans must be renewed, the situation would be so far cleared that
the money stringency would be sensibly relaxed and a saner con-
dttlon established. There was continued evidence of a painful
liquidation In Isolated stocks and t.ha same was true In even a
greater degree In Jhe bond market. Some sensational declines ;
of small - transactions were thus occasioned. Bonds'were weak.
Total sales had a par value of $4,656,000. United States 2's de-
Oclined 1-8 and the 4;s registered per cent on call.
J. P. "Morgan announced today .that. all who borrowed from :
him yesterday could cqme to the trough again today and get
more. He expressed himself aB believing that the crisis had pass-
ed and that the panic was practically over.
4 "Conditions are much better," he said, "and there Is now little
doubt that a big panic will be averted." , "
4 The International Trust Company, a small concern, did not open
its doors for the day. Reserves of gold are still being riiBhed
In from-outside points. ... '.'' ' '
London stocks are stronger than they were yesterday and there
is a general feeling that the situation has cleared.

Tonopah's New fire Apparatus Arrives
Tonopah's now 'lire wagon arrived
here yesterday, and was out on dress
parade In the afternoon, with Chief
McKeuzle on the box. It is a very
fine ornament to the fire house as
well as being one of the most eflec
tive . combination, engines and hosu
wagons In existence. It Is all steel.
and is painted red, as all well regu
lated lire wagons should be. There
was in the body of the wagon, neatly
coiled, ono thousand feet of brand
new hose, and there are In all 3."00
feet of hose in the town.
The city has now a fire department
and an apparatus of which it may
well be proud. There are six hose
car.ts, besides the wagons, stratetlc
aJly placed about; the town, and If a'
fire should ever get away from the
fire laddies, it will not be the fault
of the chief and his gallant corps.
Chief McKenzIe drove his two chart
ers, with the wagon attached, up to
the. door of the Bonanza, and there
was qnlte a crowd gathered to view
the apparatus. Then Chief Jack
showed the crowd how the steeds
could go. He turned them into St.
Patrick streiit and clanged the gong.
The grays were off like a shot,and
took the hill like an automobile'
charged with boom excitement. If
there had been a fire then there
wouldn't have been a thing done to
it.

-Plot Thickens as
Time Goes On.
' What did Charles M, Schwab
mean when he started to air his
vocabulary about Nevada in San
Francisco?
"f do not refer to all the peo-
pie In Nevada," he Is quoted as.
saying. "I mean the men who
brought the mines of Nevada to
New York."
Of course this makes some
men feel easier, for there are
some men In Nevada who have
never been to New York, and
there are some who never had
any mines.
-Donald B. Gillies, who Is the rep
resentative of Schwab In this State,
arrived home yesterday morning, an'd
it was thought that he could clear
up the matter. In fact, there were
not a few "(people who thought that
Mr. Schwab referred to Mr. Gillies,
and possibly to Malcolm Macdonald,
both of whom are Interested with
Mr. Schwab in his mining Interests.
Mr. Gillies, instead of being able
to throw any light on the matter,
was as much in the dark as anyone
else. . ,
"I do not know what to think," he
said. "I was as much surprised as
was everybody else at reading his
statement. I have no criticism to
make of Mr. Schwab. I wired him
Immediately and received a wire, and
then a letter In reply. Here is the
telegram, and here Is the letter which
he wrote me. Further than this, I
do not care to say anything." 1

PARIS, Oct. 25. The arrest of Ensign Charles Ullmo of the
French navy at Toulon yesterday on the charge of being a spy,
and who later confessed to having abstracted a secret naval sig-
nal book and naval cipher code, was followed today by the ar-
rest at Vendome of an officer named Burton, who is charged with
negotiating with the agent of a foreign power for the sale of mill-
tary secrets. . The arrests are creating a greaj stir.' Ullmo is a
Hebrew, and the papers term this case a second Dreyfus affair. '
It appears that Ullmo offered a certain document to the minister
of marine for $30,000, saying that unless his offer was accepted
he would sell them to a foreign power. A -dummy correspon-
dence was' begun, ending with Ullmo's capture. A'search of his
lodging revealed that he not only possessed the secret code sig-
nirls, but was In possession of complete plans for a mobilization
of the French navy, the location of harbor mines In the event of '
war, photographs of mechanism of the famous French 75-mllll- .
