Lends Money at Normal Rate. - ? , New York, Oct. 24.?As a result uf to-lay's developments in the financial word fl.r-iv is every indication that the crisis in tho banking and trust company situation has heen , safely passed. Tho Trust Company of America all through the day's hanking hours paid out money to de-* poisitors as rapidly as possible, and closed the day with all demands hav- i ing been met. A very favorable feature of I lie siUiailion respecting this company was That it was able to mvake its payments with very lillle assistance and-another was that the com-1 puny received over its counter in the ! morning hours in ordinary deposits I more than #1.000.00. Ii w.is liie general impression in financial oiivies that. 1 Iii- company havir,;. vvi;hs!'ii?d a two days' run with little, trouble was! undoubtedly in good condition con-I time its business and ii> fad that I company and its affairs were not pen- \ sidered as a. factor any longer in the! general situation. As the Trust Com-! pany of America had been the cen-' tfir of the recent financial storm it j was accepted thai the. ability it had I thus i,hown to weather the storm was j a clear indication that the financial ' sky had cleared and that a period of! fair weather was now well in sight. i Three Noteworthy Episodes. The day was marked by three note-! worthy episodes. First and earliest in i the day came the announcement of I troub'e in three minor state banks in . Harlem, the Hamilton bank, the Twelfth Ward bank and the Empire City Savings bank. These banks transacted only a neighborhood business and their suspension of payment ' was absolutely without significance bearing on the general situation. State Bank Examiner Judson, however, declared this afternoon that all ? three were solvent and that their dc]>ositors would lose nothing. The second episode was a run inaugurated against the Lincoln Trust company. The run against this com-! pany was steady throughout -the day, i but the sums withdrawn were not I large. At the close of the day I he company's oflicials announced that they were fully able to meet all obligations. Millions Emptied in Market. By far the most notable, even dramatic, episode of the day was Ihe emptying of millions of money into the stock exchange through a pool headed by J. P. Morgan and other financiers in order to avert a ruthless selling out of stocks held by brokers which was 'threatened because of their inability to obtain renewals of loans on which these stocks had been carried. A remarkable condition brought 'about this extreme stringency in money whicn had gradually forced the rato up to an almost unprecedented figure. Certain large interest that great financial resources had heen charging recently was in effect, if not legally, usurious rates of interest on oall loans. One institution that had been engaged in this practice was itself a member of the clearing house and was severely criticized by other bankers for its action on the ground that this added an unnecessary complication and strain to the money situation. As a result of the criticism this institution withdrew its support and declined to offer money on call on tho stock exchange. The effect of this was to run the rate for money today up to 100 per cent, and when that figure wias quoted an extremely sharp deion Pacific, a 10 per cent, stock, sellcline resulted in the stock market, lining down to par. John D. Helps Out. Notwithstanding the high rate for call money that might have been obtaained the National City bank, John D. Rockefeller personally and other prominent monied interests sent funds lo Ihe stock exchange lo bo loaned at the normal rates of fi p^r cent. These sums, however, were not sufficient to mi- the demand and for a lime there was rrrea-l confusion and hurried selling-of slocks on Ihe exchange. At Ihe time that excitement was at its height (he announcement . was made that a pool had been formed with J. P. Morgan at its head, to come to the rescue of the brokers for whom it was necessary to provide funds at once an order that they mi edit carry the stocks they were holding for (heir customers. The Morgan pool brought a sum of money amounting lo about $25,000,000 to the loan corner of the oxchongo whore ?i; 1 s' ' - ?t l.i >" ' V. : :11 ! i I i \ . : i it' < !! i t I I !'.i - ! c!i? i ii't :: iir v. i< }us!a:x: i?i:?? ?. ? and : iti*.? at?. all money dropped from 100 per cent,. to Id per ci'iit.

The invent i<u is lh<> frail of much ,1 ingenuity, labor and expenditure on -A the part of Mr. I'\ \ra!tm:m of lied- f hum street', Chelsea, wlio has devoted ( to il years of study and experiment. f At first sight the onuine resembles a i; turbine, but closer inspection reveals important differences. Slcnm from any type of boiler is bro-ivht to bear ' upon a sh:i11 filled with i2 chambers, divided into two sets of six each. Shaft and chambers are -ill of steel, cast in one piece, and of irroat strength. Kxaclly what the arrange- ( menl of these chambers is the invon- .t. tor deems il imprudent at present to j. di-clo?e. bul il i? such tM (he admission of steam through the orifices at (heir ends causes ihe shaft to revolve at a tremendous speed. So great is the power of I he now form of enuine, indeed, dial I lie in- , veil I or considers il useless to apply !? it to Ihe ordinary screw propeller lest Ihe lerritic pace should result in the formation #of a compleie or partial vacuum in which the screw would "race" without everting its <5 propulsive force. ITe has accordingly devised a modification of I ho screw propeller which will make a return in speed for all the power that j can be applied to it. The screw has three blades, each t of the shape already fniiliar, but in- a stead of being attached to one small }> hub, they are fixed at intervals of a 1 couple of feel from one another to a ;i long shaft. The result, of course, is v 'hat each blade works in its own wat- s er, instead ol in that through .| which its I el low has cut hut a moment < before. The shaft is filled with three a of these dissected screws, each of j them with a larger orbit than the one immediately in front of it, so that j when set slowly in motion it pros- j, cuts to the eye the effect of a huge (1 cork screw worming its way forward, a The shaft bearing the three screws is fixed immediately beneath the keel of the boat, and runs parallel with it and with the driving shaft and its 12 J chambers. This occupies so little space that practically the only ma- j chinery in the body of the boat will , be the furnace and boiler, and the i inventor, therefore, believes that in s the ease of cargo vessels the device j will have the advantage of adding to , the carrying capacity as well as of in- ? creasing the speed. It is, however, in naval warfare that he. expects for ( the invention the greatest immediate utility. Up to now, the new system f has been tried only on models upon . Ihe Serpentine and the Thames, but 'j the speeds attained in the largest of f these lead Mr. Mailman to believe s that on a vessel with the size and j steam power of a present day torpedo boat it would yield a velocity of 100 j miles an hour. ^ That, however, can only be determined by experiments upon a larger s scale than has yet 'been possible, and s he has accordingly applied to the ad- ( mi rally for the loan of a hull and f boilers to which the new engine and ji propeller could be fixed at compara- ,j tively slight cost, so thai their utility may be determined once for all. ?
