Accompanying this announcement
came a clean bill of health from the

examined the Institutions and found
them sound. Should the excitement

Bronau Day nt the State Fair Mon
day drew one of the largest crowds that
has gathered nt Piedmont park since
the opening dny. It was an occasion In
which Atlantans particularly and peo
ple generally throughout the stute were
Interested, and visitors were In attend
ance from every section of Georgia.
Accompanied by Mrs. K A. Pitten-|
ger, Miss Hyde and several others con- j
nected with the college, nearly 300,
young ladies from Brenau College and t
Conservatory at Gainesville came dowm
to Atlanta and lent their charming;
presence to mnke the day a most pro- j
nounced success.
Early Monday morning a tremendous
crowd of Indies and g« ntlemen gath-;
ered In the Woman’s building at the
fair grounds where the Brenau exer-J
clses were to be held nnd by noon every *
seat In the large building was token*
and many were turned away at the I
entrances.
At 12 o’clock Professor Otto Pfef-
ferkorn, of Brenau, one of the great
est plunlsr* In the country, gave a re
cital. The professor arranged a spe-
clul program for the occasion and the
concert was a rare treat to the host of.
music lovers that gathered to hear him.!
Miss Trotter, who Is also connected
with the Conservatory, rendered several
vocal solo* which were greatly enjoyed
and appreciated by the audience. I
How to Keep House.
In addition to the concert the young
ladles from Brenau gave a practical
demonstration of how to keep house.
They also had on exhibition samples
of their own cooking .and there was
ample proof that Brenau Is not with
out those who are far advanced In the;
culinary art. i

and director of the Mechanics nnd

He also offered to withdraw from the
Bowling Green Truet Company and the
Hudson Truet Company.
The retirement of Charles W. Morse.
Heinze and Thomae Is not due to the
fact that they were violating tho stat
ute laws regarding banking, because
the statute laws are being violated by
the very men who have ousted these
three financiers. Thoy are being pun
ished simply for the ethical part of
their offense.
Such a condition of affairs never be
fore existed In the history of banking.
Ths whole banking fraternity has aris
en as a unit and demanded the elimi
nation of these sensational financiers.
The remarkable feature Is that they are
retiring without a word of protest. They
could have precipitated a panic In Wall
street by refusing to sell control in
their banka and the world can esti
mate the enormity of their culpability
by the fact that they submit so tamely
to eviction.
Wanted Notoriety.
F. Augustus Heinze la only a second
ary figure In this remarkable affair.
The crash wee precipitated by a crav
ing for notoriety on the part of the
two brothers of Heinze. Had Otto and
Arthur P. Heinze been satisfied to pur
sue the humdrum ways of finance the
crisis might have been averted tor
year* or perhaps the house of cards
might never have collapsed.
F. Augustus Heinze'* presidency of
the Mercantile National Bank was
nominal. He proposed to be the banker
and had himself elected president of the
Mercantile Bank In order to perfect
himself In banking. He served with
out salary. The real president was
Miles O'nrien. Mr. Heinze eat In the
bunk simply as a student of banking.
He never pretended to be fhe manager
of the bank.
Heinz* Found Enemies.
When Heinze took control of the
Mercantile Hank he found there some
very large loans In which United Cop
per figured ae collateral. He also
found large blocks of American Ice
stock, and stocks of tbe steamship
companies organized by Charlea W.
Morse. These are the loan* to which
organized complaint waa made last
week and the Important point la that
they were there when Heinze entered
the bank.
The presence of Charles W. Morse as
a director and large stockholder of the
bank worried Heinze. because It wa*
well known that behind Mr. Morse
stood H- H. Rogers, William Rockefel
ler and August Belmont. Heinze tol
erated the presence of this representa
tive of his enemlee because peace h.iJ
Just been established In the copper
world, bringing all the disputed prop,
ertles Into the Butte coalition.
Turned Loose Copper.
Heinze felt that the presence of an
enemy on hi, board of directors was
pert of the program, but he never ran
hi* entire confidence to Mr. Morse and
was always exporting eotpe nttempi to
ruin him.
His expectations were not dl-.tp-
polnted. When hlx brother*, without
hlh knowledge, started to corner United
Copper, he turned loose n large quan
tity of United Copper stock In the hup.
Pag* Seven.
