This company owned 700 coke QUIK, ‘ovens and paid 36 per cent. dividends. It was outside the Stee! Trust, and * profited by the high-mark prices of coke which the Frick Company had/ = brought about. The Frick Coke Company is a branch of the Carnegie **Company, which was absorbed by the Steel Trust. ve __ Instead of Sticking to his coke business, which was very profitable, | “Mr. Whitney went into other enterprises. He started a power company | ‘and mills in North Carolina. He bought a seat on the New York Stock | Exchange. He branched out in his business affairs. tes, To raise capital for his other business matters Mr. Whitney hypothe- : weated 8,000 shares of the Coke Company's stock ‘with the Union Trust “Company of Pittsburg. The stock at the time of the loan was selling at! pabove $200 a share and the amount of his loan was about 60 per cent. | yof its market value. | It so happens that H: C. Frick, of the Frick Coke Company and “the United States Steel Company, controis the Union Trust Company. | » “When the Pittsburg banks issued clearing-house certificates and scrip instead of legal tender money a few weeks ago, the Union Trust; ‘Company called on Mr, Whitney to pay off his loan.

Michigan, had served with credit {n the revolution. He was placed in com _ Mand of 2,000 men and sent across the Dotrolt River into Canada, July 1%; [| 1812, to begin the invasion. He entered Canada with the object of ing Fort Malden, eighteen miles beyond. But the expedition was a d astrous fizzle and eccomplixhed nothing. For, meantime, the British general, Brock, had swept down from” Canads with a.swarm of regulars and Indians. had crossed the border, at- tacked and'captured Mackinaw (our powerful barrier against invasion from the northwest) on July 17, end then marched to Fort Malden’s relief.- Hull retreated before him, recrossed the river and souxht eafety in the fort at Detroit. Brock, on Aug. 9, followed and demanded the surrender t of Detrolt. That city’s garrison was strong and well-provisioned. Butte the whole nation’s dismay, Hull meekly surrendered on Brock’s threat to © of | : COMING OEARIE turn loose his savage allies in massacre npon the women and children of the place. This wae the first of many terrible blows to our national pre. Hull was court-martialled for cowardice in’ thus yielding Detroft to the British and condemned to be shot. But, in view of his r | Vices he was later pardoned. Dearborn, after Hull's failure, planned to invade Caneda at a potnt near Niagara. But hundreds of eoldiers mutinied, declaring the war was moerely one of defense, refusing to set foot acroes the border. For this vile ; act the mutineers were loudly praised ty the Peace Party. The sons of the. men who had died at Bunker Hill and starved at Valley Forge went prac- - ticalty unpuniahed, and their example was a needless sctbeck to our coum try’s cause. On Oct. 13a band of Americans crossed from Lewiston to Queenstown, Canada. where a Jargs force of British were massed to check them. With severe loss the Americans captured the bettery town.
