Thomas had been elim inated from the banking Interests of New York and that four new presi dents, all conservative men of business, were In chargo of the Heinze-Morse- Thomas string of banks of this city. Accompanying this announcement came a clean bill of health from the clearing house committee,* which has examined the Institutions and found them sound.

Banka Ara Safs. Theso banka will be as safe as one could desire as long as the clearing house stands by them. The committee wants to make It clear, however, that tlx* directors of the banks and their de positors will be expected to share In meeting the situation with coolness and calm Judgment.

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 The young ladles had a number of HARRIMAN WORSTED IN I.

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.
