Why 0ASEY CAUSED THE CRASH. ThoJlanWto Ua Havoc io tha Coiiier Marker.

Here are the facts ia one of the most extraordinary stories that ever came out of Wall street the story of "Casey'3 Copper War." Because he lost his position in the United States Metals Selling company, Henry L. Casey began a war which has already cost the copper interests of this and other countries not far form Fighting single-handed, with neither capital nor influence to back him, Casey has succeeded in hammtiing t)'e stock of the Amalgamated Copper company from 125 down to 88, involving a loss to the company of in causing a decline of at least $50,000,000 in the shares' value of other copper mining companies; in stirring up turmoil in Wall street; in making the London market rumble ominously; in precipitating a panic on the Paris bourse; in wrecking a big France banking house, and in disturbing financial circles all over the world. To rege.in his position or have a truce of some kind declared. Casey will continue to wage his war relentlessly, even though it should result in a wjder spread of financial havoc and entail the loss of another It is the first time in the history of Wall street that a "nobody in the financial world," as Casey calls himself, has been known to throw down the gauntlet to corporations backed by millions, anl there are those who fervently hope that no more Caseys will arise on the copper horizon. To look at Casey no one would take him for a fighter.

Short and stout in build, with a round, jovial face and eyes that sparkle at the merest suggestion of humor, he looks like an easygoing, fun-loving salesman of 40 years, quite content with the world and himself. But once aroused he is an altogether different Casey. Down in tho street they say he develops fighting yiilch had been sold, and which brought over to create the impression that there was a great demand for it in this country. Instead, the demand wai steadily decreasing. The installation of the trolley systems, which a year agj took all the copper wire that could be turned out, had about been completed Factories which a year ago were working night and day had early in September -scarcely enough business to keep them busy during the day, and the manufacturers of copper wire were buyins from hand to mouth.

"Upon such conditions, which were pretty generally known in copper circles, I was certain that If I could get before the public the fact that the Selling company had pounds ot the metal on its hands something would drop. I hit upon the circular plan a3 a polite and effective medium of conveying the information. "I had several thousand circulars printed and distributed them all over the world. Moreover, I timed the mailing of them so that, they would be received in London, Paris, BerHn, Russia Japan, Australia, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New York and all the big cities of this country on the same morning. "There was no hitch in the execution of the plan.

On the morning of September 6 the whole world knew that there were thirty-six million pounds ot copper lying idle in the storage places of the United States, and what happened every one knows. I had no idea tha: the result would be so appalling as it was but when Casey fights, he fights bard. "Only Casey the salesman could have done it. Casey the banker, Casey the merchant, Casey the doctor, Casey the lawyer might have issued millions of circulars only to have had them tossed Into the trash basket. But Casey, formerly head salesman for the United States Metals Selling company, the copper world realized, knew what he was talking about, and it stood aghast "Even at that time the market might in the shape of fruits and vegetables and farm product that is brought to Parsons, the merch ants will only take by giving due bills; but they will buy fruit and vegetables of away from home Updyke growers paying more in cash for Gordon Jones has gone to the Katy hospital.

When he left the office of the company last August Casey told the officers frankly that there would be "something doing," and the events of the past month certainly stamp Casey as a man who keeps his word. The only weapon Casey has thus far employed is his war in a circular which he sent to prospective customers when he opened a metal broker's office early in September. The circular ran something like this: "Having left the office of my former employers, I am now conducting a brokerage business at street, and trust that you will honor me with your orders. The United States Metals Selling company, in severing my relations with them, informed me that my discharge was necessitated by economy, which you will doubtless appreciate when I tell you that the company has now on hand 36,000,000 pounds of copper." To the laymen the circular was an innocent enough looking document, but it turned tha copper market topsy-turvy. The information that the company had 36,000,000 pounds of copper in stock a quarter of the yearly production came like a thunderclap to the copper trade.

Men interested in copper foresaw a possible panic resulting trom so unprecedented a supply with a decreasing demand. Investors and speculators threw their copper securities on the market and the crash came. Even Casey himself was astonished at the effect of the first gun he discharged. He admitted this to a reporter who talked with him in his office and to whom he unfolded the history of the war. "When I left the United States Metals company last August," he said, "I told produce shipped here.
