Taut in his speech made hi this Territory a days o advises the people to reject the proposed constitution and postpone Statehood until aether en- abling act can be secured At first blush One might suspect that the Secretarys- advkjt was due to his personal interest In the next election He might be accused of advising the postponement of Statehood with a view to keening electoral votes out of the Democratic column more generous view taken oC the mat- ter is that his advice resulted from his habits of thought Taft is inclined to postpone everything He promises to acquire the title of the great postponer He is on his way to the Philippines to tell the Filipinos that while he thinks they ought t have self government after a while he Vajits it postponed for the present It te m i strange

strength- ened by the fact that the firm did a larger business than any other that hits suspended in the past year It was es- timated that the liabilities might aggro Kate fMMM The siesta aro known to be large and statement from repre- sentatives of toe thin to the offset that it would be able to pry in full was credited in substantial banking quarters Watson Co was known as a Hill house tot the reason principally that both the Arm awl its oeetowsra were fi- nanciers of tfie Hill stocks Grstft Northern and Northern Faclac and that the firms largest clientele was in the Northwest The shrinkage in the market valve of these stocks Attorney Shoe- maker said WM the principal caua of the failure The members ol Arm are Louie T Watson Henry P Watson Herschell V Jones and Charles X Andrews Louis T Watson lives at tK trOt avenue this city the others in Milwaukee and in the letter city members of the arm were en- gaged in business aa grain brokers before the Arm began business in this city The stock exchange membership was acquired and the New York ofltee opened in Jan- uary im- rklamltyu Jone mi ilrpert Herschel V one of the partners is well known aa one sf the most promi- nent crop experts In the country Calam- ity Jones be has been dubbed by specu- lators whom market commitments were at variance with hie predictions He was formerly publisher of the Commercial West a publication devoted to the grain Interests and the accuracy of esti- mates of the crop yields brought him into friendly relations with James J Hill who thought well of him aa crop expert This relationship gave rtee to a story to- day that one of Mr Hills sons had an account with the hone Mr HUt denied this report emphatically The firm had offices in Duluth Hot Springs Minneapolis and Winnipeg and a branch on Fifth avenue this city In addition to the Stock Exchange membership it was a member of the Pro- duce Exchange Cotton Exchange and Coffee Exchange in this city Chicago Stock Exchange Chicago Board of Trade and Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce It did a very large buetneee in grain and stocks for Northwestern customers and was accounted one of the most im- portant of the wire houses of this city The firms resources at the beginning of the year were very large In weather- ing the March panic and the subsequent weeks It was raid the firm was obliged to dispose of the greater part of its holdings of the Hill stocks at a sacri- fice and undoubtedly lost also from the failure of customers to keep up margins for many of fts customers in the North west speculated heavily in the Hill shores ResonrccB Badly Strained The resources were undoubtedly badly strained in the spring decline Subse- quently however Watson Co took a very active position on tho bull side of the wheat market H V Jones was one of the first crop experts to predict a short age in the wheat crop and he followed the Initial prediction by others much more emphatic In the wheatmarket speculation which led to dollar wheat in July the house was reputed to hold for Itself and customers quite as wheat as any other Eastern concern Those who had reason to fear tho solvency of the house earlier year considered the profits from wheat providing they were converted into cash would make good much of the loss in tho Hill shares Attorney Shoemaker said today that the firm sustained no losses whatever from its operations in the wheat market but that profits had been gained for all its customers who dealt in grain The prin- cipal he said accrued from the slump in the highpriced stocks Greet Northern Northern Pacific and others The failure was not even precipitated by this weeks decline in wheat PrtiflttnkcrM Cause Trouble Another report of the firm said that the immediate reason for the failure was the insistence of large customers of the firm many of them men with large profits in wheat on closing out their accounts sad securing their profits A canvass of the assets uf the firm it was showed that it would be unable to pay all customers large and small alike and it was deemed advisable to assign n order that all might be treated on the same basis This representative inferred that the firm had for months had a long waiting list Many customers who made paper profit through It by taking the short stele of the market had been compelled to wait In the hope that the firm might retrieve Its fortunes As In 125 to Itsltimore nad Return Every Saturday and Sunday via Pennsyl- vania Railroad Tickets good returning until Sunday night AH trains except Congressional Limited Uptodale Business

experience with W L Stow Co patience finally be came exhausted The hope that the firm may be able to resume is based principally on the fact that the Messrs Watson have large holdings of lumber lands and other reel estate in Canada and other portions of the Northwest In the pres out condition of the monoy market it was found impossible to convert these real estate properties Into cash a trig sacrifice f value and banks w ro unwilling to aocept mortgages- on such undeveloped property as se for loans In the future it is hollered those properties can be dis- posed of to advantage and all debts I paid Watson I Hopeful Watson said Attorney Shoe j maker Is of course hopeful that the losses of the firm and particularly i those of the customers can be met by j the assets at a high rate on tho del f lar All of the firms loans at the banks are heavily margined and It is an auspicious fact that the banks no disposition to call the loans all hopeful about the situ alien It was widely reported in the financial section that the nrm had tAken over t number of the amounts of JJhn W Gates him Thi report lacked confirmation fwd was considered improbabia on the fact that Watson Co

Inter- esting from tho fact that the question will be raised whether thex North Carolina RaIlroad the line between Goldsboro and Charlotte which is being operated by the Southern under a ninetynineyear lease is an integral part of the Southern sys- tem Gov Glenn has stated that the legis- lature be called into extra session to repeal this lease unless the officials of the Southern

will be determined whether the restrain- ing order will be granted In the papers tiled it is set forth that unless such order is granted the Southern will be deprived- of the benefit of the Interlocutory order of injunction heretofore issued and the road will suffer an irredeemable injury Additional interest is lent to this case because of the tact that the attorney mentioned for the

to the front th wante question of the fate of that great empire says he American diplomacy inaugurated under Secretary Hay and contlnjMd under- Secretary Root secured the adopt Ion willingly or unwlllin y by the powers of the open door policy for China Since Japanese ascendency in the far EAst a has been on foot to overturn this just policy sad to substitute for it the dangerous sphere of influence policy Japan sWag with the military powers of Europe has misgivings lest with a fair chance and no favor America might secure the lions share of the coming great commerce of Chins and Japan has organized a movement by which America- is to be left out sad China is to be sub- divided into spheres of influence Upon this baste Japan has negotiated special new treaties with the European powers by which treaties the limitations of the various spheres of influence have been de- nned Yellow Against While This Question has an important bear lag not only upon the future commerce of America but upon our pence and the peace of the world The spheres or In nuance policy would unquestionably lead nofc only to dissensions and wars be- tween the powers as to the subdivision tIt wotnVI ultimateLy lead to the abso- lute preponderance cf Japan over China and the transformation of the Chinese from a peaceful into a military people and lay the foundation for an ultimate struggle between the white race on one side and the yellow on the other for the supremacy of the world On the other hand the open door policy in China based on Justice and equal rights for all would guarantee the ascendency of peaceful activities in China would to that country a great commer cisl future which would reflect vast benefit upon alt nations and would lay the foundation for the two great races to meet each other as friends anti and not as enemies in war But the question has a more pressing and vital significance for us These new Japanese treaties with the European nations and especially the treaty of al- liance offensive and defensive with the British are parts of the diplomatic prep- arations that Japan has made for an at- tack America Her naval and military preparations are practically complete and all that now remains is for her to secure a pretext for such an attack this fact explains the apparently unaccountable attitude of Japan upon every little ridiculous tri- fling incident that occurs anywhere in this country The understanding with the other nations is doubtless that Japan will throw America out of the Pacific Ocean and America would have to stop for a number of years to make preparations to go back and by that time the parti- tion of China would have been completed and America to get back into the far East would have to face the combined world antI at such a distance would be confronted by a practically insurmount- able barrier FEARS gill J t sis kept our powers tile Japan CalK rice opt up com- rades WAR Big z hag danger- ous be- sought plait ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬

Secretary Taut in his speech made hithis Territory a days o advises thepeople to reject the proposed constitutionand postpone Statehood until aether en-abling act can be secured At first blushOne might suspect that the Secretarys-advkjt was due to his personal interest Inthe next election He might be accused ofadvising the postponement of Statehoodwith a view to keening electoralvotes out of the Democratic column

more generous view taken oC the mat-ter is that his advice resulted from hishabits of thought

Taft is inclined to postpone everythingHe promises to acquire the title of thegreat postponer He is on his way tothe Philippines to tell the Filipinos thatwhile he thinks they ought t have selfgovernment after a while he Vajits itpostponed for the present It te m istrange therrfore that he should yield tohs ruling spirit ia the saskter nf State-hood ad y ti t p t

New York Sept 6 The Importantgrain and stock brokerage house of Wata n A Co 24 made an-

HMicnwent today to W Frank Newellmanager of the Now York office

Neither the assignee nor Jill attorneyShlnnd Shoemaker Hedges of M

Pine street would make any estimate ofthe Amount of the assets or liabilitiesboth saying that may had insufficienttim for the preparation of won A roughcompilation In wellInformed bunkingotrolea however It wag said the liabili-ties are largo cud this belief Is strength-ened by the fact that the firm did alarger business than any other that hitssuspended in the past year It was es-

timated that the liabilities might aggroKate fMMM The siesta aro known tobe large and statement from repre-

sentatives of toe thin to the offset that itwould be able to pry in full was creditedin substantial banking quarters

Watson Co was known as a Hillhouse tot the reason principally thatboth the Arm awl its oeetowsra were fi-

nanciers of tfie Hill stocks GrstftNorthern and Northern Faclac and thatthe firms largest clientele was in theNorthwest The shrinkage in the marketvalve of these stocks Attorney Shoe-

maker said WM the principal caua ofthe failure

The members ol Arm are Louie T

Watson Henry P Watson Herschell VJones and Charles X Andrews Louis TWatson lives at tK trOt avenue thiscity the others in Milwaukee and in the

letter city members of the arm were en-

gaged in business aa grain brokers beforethe Arm began business in this city Thestock exchange membership was acquired

and the New York ofltee opened in Jan-

uary im-rklamltyu Jone mi ilrpert

Herschel V one of the partnersis well known aa one sf the most promi-

nent crop experts In the country Calam-ity Jones be has been dubbed by specu-

lators whom market commitments wereat variance with hie predictions He wasformerly publisher of the CommercialWest a publication devoted to the grainInterests and the accuracy of esti-mates of the crop yields brought him intofriendly relations with James J Hillwho thought well of him aa crop expertThis relationship gave rtee to a story to-

day that one of Mr Hills sons had anaccount with the hone Mr HUt deniedthis report emphatically

The firm had offices in Duluth HotSprings Minneapolis and Winnipeg anda branch on Fifth avenue this city

In addition to the Stock Exchangemembership it was a member of the Pro-duce Exchange Cotton Exchange andCoffee Exchange in this city ChicagoStock Exchange Chicago Board of Tradeand Minneapolis Chamber of CommerceIt did a very large buetneee in grainand stocks for Northwestern customersand was accounted one of the most im-

portant of the wire houses of this cityThe firms resources at the beginning

of the year were very large In weather-ing the March panic and the subsequent

weeks It was raid the firm wasobliged to dispose of the greater part ofits holdings of the Hill stocks at a sacri-fice and undoubtedly lost also from thefailure of customers to keep up marginsfor many of fts customers in the Northwest speculated heavily in the Hill shores

ResonrccB Badly StrainedThe resources were undoubtedly badly

strained in the spring decline Subse-quently however Watson Co took avery active position on tho bull side of thewheat market H V Jones was one ofthe first crop experts to predict a shortage in the wheat crop and he followedthe Initial prediction by others muchmore emphatic In the wheatmarketspeculation which led to dollar wheat inJuly the house was reputed to hold forItself and customers quite as wheatas any other Eastern concern Thosewho had reason to fear tho solvency ofthe house earlier year considered

the profits from wheat providingthey were converted into cash wouldmake good much of the loss in tho Hillshares

Attorney Shoemaker said today thatthe firm sustained no losses whatever fromits operations in the wheat market butthat profits had been gained for all itscustomers who dealt in grain The prin-cipal he said accrued from theslump in the highpriced stocks GreetNorthern Northern Pacific and othersThe failure was not even precipitatedby this weeks decline in wheat

PrtiflttnkcrM Cause TroubleAnother report of the firm said that the

immediate reason for the failure was theinsistence of large customers of the firmmany of them men with large profitsin wheat on closing out their accountssad securing their profits A canvassof the assets uf the firm it wasshowed that it would be unable to payall customers large and small alike andit was deemed advisable to assign norder that all might be treated on thesame basis This representative inferredthat the firm had for months had along waiting list Many customers whomade paper profit through It by takingthe short stele of the market had beencompelled to wait In the hope that thefirm might retrieve Its fortunes As In

Lawrence Waterburys experience withW L Stow Co patience finally became exhausted

The hope that the firm may be ableto resume is based principally on thefact that the Messrs Watson havelarge holdings of lumber lands andother reel estate in Canada and otherportions of the Northwest In the presout condition of the monoy market itwas found impossible to convert thesereal estate properties Into cash

a trig sacrifice f value and banksw ro unwilling to aocept mortgages-on such undeveloped property as se

for loans In the future it ishollered those properties can be dis-

posed of to advantage and all debts I

paidWatson I Hopeful

Watson said Attorney Shoe j

maker Is of course hopeful that thelosses of the firm and particularly i

those of the customers can be met by j

the assets at a high rate on tho del f

lar All of the firms loans at thebanks are heavily margined and It isan auspicious fact that the banksno disposition to call the loans

all hopeful about the situalien

It was widely reported in the financialsection that the nrm had tAken over t

number of the amounts of JJhn W Gateshim Thi report lacked confirmation fwdwas considered improbabia on

the fact that Watson Co sustainedsevere losses prior to the liquidation ofthe Gates house

Chicago dispatches reported thfcmortthan 10MOM bushels of long wheat weresold out tot the account of the suspendedline m that city this morning The

There was a bit of a flurry on theYork Coffee Exchange on the announomeet of the failure the various optionyiwMirs materially on reports that Mfirm was heavily interested in coffee Itwas computed subsequently howeverthat its holdings of coffee were not inexcess or 2500 bags

These cases are rendered doubly Inter-esting from tho fact that the question willbe raised whether thex North CarolinaRaIlroad the line between Goldsboro andCharlotte which is being operated by theSouthern under a ninetynineyear leaseis an integral part of the Southern sys-tem
