Nr.w York, July 20. Matthew Marshal
reviews the iimincir.l and speculative situa
tion for the Sun of to-morrow as follows:
It is not surpribing that the stockholders
of the American Loan and Tru:-t Company
sliould feel sore over the ruin of the com
pany and the disappearance of the capital
they had invested in it. Losing money is
never pleasant, and it is particularly un
pleasant when it happens unexpectedly,and
in a place where it was supposed to be im
probable. For laany years trut companies have en
joyed acoutiuuance of such prosperity that
the only concern of capitalists lias been to
judge of their relative merits. The quota
tions of the stocks of pome of them have
soared aloft into the region of four figure,
and the very poorest of them have been
considerably nboepar. That one among
llii-m ,hould make le money than the
others was regarded as natural,"but that it
thould make none at all, and ecugointo
bankruptcy, wasacontiugcncy not expected.
bEEKIM; A SCAITGOVT.
As usual, too, when au unforeseen calam
ity occurs, those who suffer by it begin look
ing about for somebou to blame. That
tin-re would be no aecidents it everv one
did his duty m all occasions is indisputable,
and in tracing Inck th- chain ol au'.cs and
effects which leads to mischief, some sin of
omission or commission is sure 10 be de
tected. "When, too, the particular sin comes
to light, the avoidance or the preveution of
it looks to eay that even thoi who did not
commit it. bat who might have prevented it
if they had been on the alert, are censured
lor not having done so
Thus, in the eae ol the American Loan
and Trust Company, it the Board of Directors
bad known lion recklessly the funds of the
fonijiany were lent and how great wa-its
pent of lmnkruptcy, they might have
avoided the catastrophe, or at least have
mitigated its seventy. For their failure in
this respect they are accused of a neglect of
duty and there is even talk of legal pro
ceedings against them. Of the particular
circumstances attending the mismanage
ment which has mined the American Loan
ind Trust Company I am not sufficientlv
well informed to speak confident!, and ft
inay be that some of the directors. at least,
Merc criminally negligent and should be
made to pay for it
rrer.TioNs or directous.
The company's fate, taken in connection
with the recent misfortunes of other financial
institutions, such as the Ninth National
Dank in this city and the Keystone National
Bank in Philadelphia, to sav nothing of
nice little concerns in other parts of the
country, has, however, called forth so much
ronsense. both in print and in conversation,
in regard to the functions of directors and
their responsibilities, that I am moved to
express my view s on the subject and to ex
pose what seems to me to be a gross mis
understanding of it.
Judged by what I see and hear, the idea
is quite prevalent that because directors of
a corporation are called directors their duty
is to oversee the corporation's business and
to keep themselves informed of all its de
tail. It is very much like the notion which
children and simple-minded people enter
tain of Queen Victoria. Thev tancv that
the sits all day long upon her throne in her
rnjl robes, with a crown upon her head
and a sceptre in her hand, as she is repre
tented in pictures, hearing embassies and
petitions and givine; orders for the govern
ment of her kingdom, whereas the fact is
ihe occupies her throne scarcely once a year
and her go eminent is carried on by her
ministers of state, who consult her upon
comparatively few of the measures taken
in her name.
TJIEIl: rOWEKS LIMITED.
Many boards of directors meet only once
in three months, and have as little' to do
ivith their companies' business as thj Con
gress of the United States has to do with
exwutive affairs, and to expect that of them
is as absurd as it would be to expect it of
Queen Victoria. A very little knowledge
of the routine of affairs in a bank or a trust
company, not to speak of other corporations,
forbids the thought of that personal super
intendence and control by directors for
which ill-informed persons arc clamoring.
If the payment of every check, the ac
ceptance of every draft, and the making of
tvery loan had to be debated and voted
upon bv a board of a dozen or more men,
the business day would be half gone before
one thing wa determined upon. The real
executive agent ol a corporation is, or
should be, its President, and it is in the se
lection of a President and of his assistants
that the real function of a Board of Direct
ors mainly consists. They are bound to use
all possible diligence in inquiring into his
fitness for the office before they entrust him
with it; but, having once appoiuted him,
common sense dictates that he should be
left to exercise his own judgment in the
erfonuance of his duties, untrammeled by
their interference, otherwise his selection is
one which ought not to have been made.
AX AKV1SOKY COUNCIL.
It is usual, however, for the directors of
financial institutions in cases where fre
quent meetings of the board would be in
convenient to appoint from among their
number a small executive committee, as a
sort of advisor council, to assist the presi
dent by their knowledge and experience in
the decision of doubtful and important
questions, and a prudent president is
always ulad to avail himself of their ser
vices He reports to them what he has
done and what he proposes doing; hears
their suggestions, and is governed by their
decisions. Thev constitute liib cabinet.
and being nsuallv the ablest members of
the board, or, at least, those who have the
most leisure to devote to the company, thev
fhare with him the responsibility for such
measures as they approve.
.1 Jancy that when all the truth about the
American Loan and Trust Company comes
to be known it will be found that its Ex
ecutive Committee.as much as its president,
is to blame for the disaster which has over
taken it. It is a pertinent question, and I
fftney tlut it has by this time risen spon
taneously in the minds of many of my
readers; why, if the functions of "directors
extend no further than to the selection of a
president and the appointment of an Ex
ecutive Committee, are so much pains taken
to choose as directors of institutions men
well known to the public, and to parade
their names in circulars and advertise
ments? IEM!IN? TilK PCIIMG,
My auswer is that in nine rases out ten it
is for purposes of humbug, pure and simple,
and it is done by the promoters of compan
ies in the beginning of their careers to iu-t-pire
confidence and to attract business, and
it is kept up to gratify vanitv and love of
notoriety ot men w ho like to sec their names
in print In the tenih ca-e the directors
are few in number, and, being large stock
holders, they tak- a real interest in the
company's allairs, ulirn-a in the other nine
their functions are limited, as I have de
scribed. Still, considering that, however wrongly,
the public does (regard the list of directors
of a company as a sort of guarantee of its
boncst and able management, I shall not be
sorry if the American Loan and Trust catas
trophe and the others like it should frighten
men from allowing themselves to be elected
directors of corporations as easily as they
do now. Most boards are far too numerous.
There are not enough capable business men
in the community who have time to spare
irom their own affaiis to attend to those of
companies even in the restricted measures
that I have mcntioned.and it would be much
better for all concerned if they would not
allow themselves to be used as figureheads.
They would escape the annoyances to which
they are exposed in case of disaster, and the
public would not be deceived.
STOCKHOLDERS TO BLAME.
Stockholders, on their part, are to blame
in not inquiring more closely than they do
into the manner in which their money is
used. They look at the list of directors and
officers, and glance moreor less carelesslv at
the reports of the companv's doings when
such reports are made, and then they coi
tent themselves with cashing theirdividend
checks as they receive them and waiting for
more.
I know that it will be said that if direc
tors can be kept in the dark by the execu
tive officers ota company it is still less
easy for a simple stockholder to find out
that truth, and I do not dispute it But
where there is a will there is a way, and no
honest officer of a company will refuse to a
stockholder such information of a general
character as will enable him to judge
whether or not he had better continue to
hold his stock. Evasion and silence are
sometimes more eloquent than words, and
the rule "when in doubt win the trick" is
as good in regard to stock investments as it
is in whist
NO DANGER OF AKREST.
On the whole I fancy that the directors of
he American Loan and Trust Company, ex
cepting those who may have been guilty of
actual fraud and connivance in transactions
which were fraudulent on their face, have
nothing to fear from the vengeance of the
law. If they have acted in good faith in
electing the company's officers, and have
not abused their positions to obtain loans
for themselves upon palpably inadequate
securitv, their constituents, it seems to me,
are without a cause of action against them.
In this respect they are luckier than were
the directors of the famous South Sea Com
pany, which flourished and failed at the
bezinniner of the last centurv. and whose
career will forever be a monument of human
folly. So terrible and widespread was the
ruin which followed the bursting of that
bubble, and so influential vcre the sufferers
by the catastrophe, that Parliament took
upon itself to punish its supposed authors,
and in default of other victims proceeded
against the company's directors. No law
could be found to reach them, and therefore
one was made for the occasion. Among
the supposed culprits was the grandfather
of the nistorian Gibbon, who, with pardon
able indignation, tells us in his memoirs:
A VIOLATION Or LIBERTY.
A bill of pains and penalties was Intro
duced, a retroactive statute, to punish the
offenses which did not exist at the time they
were committed. Such a pernicious viola
tion of liberty and law can be oxcused only
by the most imperious necessity; nor could
it be defended on this occasion by the plen
of impending danger or uneful example.
The Legislature restrained the persons of
t lie directors, imposed an exorbitant security
for their appearance, and marked their
characters with a previous note of ignominy.
They were compelled to deliver upon oath
the strict value of their estates, and were
disabled from making any transferor aliena
tion of any part of their property.
Again in a bill of pains and penalties It Is
the common right of everv subject to be
heard by his counsel at the bar; they prayed
to be heard; their prayer was refused, and
their oppressors, who required no evidence,
would listen to no defense. The result was
that all wero condemned, absent nnd un
heard, in arbitrary lines and forfeitures.
which swept away the greatest part of their
substance.
The proceeds of this confiscation amount
ed to 2,000,000, out of which a dividend of
S3 percent was paid to the company's stock
holders. This was the wav in which our
forefathers dealt with the directors of un
fortunate corporations. "We have grown
more humane, though, perhaps, we are no
wiser than they were.

TSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH.!
Chicago, July 2G. There is nothing im
practicable in the erection of buildings 30
or 40 stories in height. Such is the conclu
sion reached by Mr. Danknian Adler, one
of the firm of architects by whom the Audi
torium wa built, after a study of the sub
ject covering many years. Mr. Adler has
been writing a series of very instructive
articles on this subject in a weekly
publication in this city which have been
read with very great interest.
The tendency to high building has been
nowhere so marked as in the business centre
of Chicago, and if it can be established that
it is safe and practicable to go higher than
20 stories, nothing is more certain that capi
tal can be found to embark in such an en
terprise. And if buildings of that height
can be built and operated successfully in
Chicago, the world is sure to follow in her
footsteps sooner or later.
In this citv the greatest difficulty with
which architects have had to contend has
been to get a suitable foundation. As
everybody knows, the city is built upon a
series of prairie swamps, and until you
reach a stratum of blue clay, at a distance
of perhaps fifty feet below the surface, the
soil is wet, soft and mushy, and very unre
liable for building purposes. It has been
assumed all along that about 3,000 pounds
per square foot Vas all the weight that
could be put upon a given area. If the
weight were greater, the building, it was
thought, would be liable to settle so far and
so unevenly as to make it unsafe.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS -WHICH SETTLED.
This theory seemed to find strong con
firmation in our experience with the Cus
tom House and the county building, both
massive stone structures four stories in
height, which have settled so much and so
unevenly that each is in a measure unsafe.
The former especially is in a very unsatis
factory condition. Every once in a while
the breaking of a column or a pillar or the
bulging out of a wall gives its inmates a
scare. Under the Government building is
a massive foundation of cement so built as
to form a single slab covering the entire
surface upon which the building stands.
And under the county building is a founda
tion of piling.
Both proved unsatisfactory: the varvintr
weights resting upon different parts of the
monolithic foundation of the government
building caused the bed of cement to crack
and break into pieces and parts of it settled
more than others. In the conntv building
the piling did not prevent similar uneven
settlements of the various parts of the build
ing, though the results have not been so
bad as in the former case.
In the light of these two experiments the
use of piling alone and the use of cement
alone were both cast aside by architects and
the cement and steel foundations which
have become so marked a feature of Chi
cago's architecture were adopted in their
place. These consist in most instances of a
bed of square timbers, usually oak, upon
which is laid a bed of ccmeut usuallv im
ported Portland cement and upon this is
laid crossed tiers of steel rails or steel
beams, the spaces between being filled in
with cement, and upon these are placed a
number of steel columns by which the main
part of the weight of the building is sup
ported. SOME FOUNDATIONS THAT STAND.
In this way has been built the founda
tions of the 13-story Tacoma building, the
14-story Owing's building, the 13-story
Women's Temple, the 16-story Monodnock
building and the Masonic building, which is
to have 19 stories in all In each instance
the utmost care was taken to have the foun
dations and the supporting columns so ar
ranged as not to exceed the safety limit of
pressure per square foot of surface, and,
perhaps, in every one of the instances
named, the architects would have gone
higher into the clouds had they dared.
Mr. Adler, in this series of papers, has
come to the conclusion that, in discarding
the pile driver, the Chicago architects, him
self included, have made a great mistake.
He found that in the case of the great grain
elevators, pile-driven foundations had
proved capable of sustaining constantly
varying weights without any appreciable
settling, even where the pressure per square
foot of surface was greatly in excess of 3,000
pounds.
Taking a hint from these facts he con
structed a foundation of piling for
the massive tower of the new
Northern Pacific passenger station
on Taylor street in this city and
with the most satisfactory results, there
being no settling whatever. And in con
structing the foundations of the new Ger
man Theater building on Randolph street,
which is to be 17 stories high, he is to re
introduce pile driving as a foundation for
business buildings. He attributes the fail
ure in the case of the county building to
the fact that the pile driving was not done
properly, nor deep enough nor frequent
enough. In the case of the German Theater
building the piles will be driven 50 feet
down until their points touch a stratum of
nam uiue uiay wiucu iney cannot ue iorcea
through.
PILING IS AGAIN TO BE TBIED.
They will be placed as closely together as
it is possible to get them. They will be
placed not only under the walls, but over
the entire lot. They will then be cut off
and abed of cement with crossed tiers of
steel rails placed on top as the immediate
foundation upon which the steel columns
supporting the building shall rest. With
such a foundation Mr. Adler is con
fident a 40-story structure can
be built with perfect safety so far as
foundation is concerned but there are other
factors such as resistance to lateral pressure
bv the wind which must be taken into con
sideration. The latest new thing in the construction
of office buildings here is the use of alum
inum in the hard wood and furnishing, and
in the first four floors of the new Monod
nock building it was given a trial. The
substitute for fteel here costs about 52 per
pound, and with w orkmanship will cost the
builders about 515,000.
Another novelty is the use of the first
four floors of the new 10-story fair building
while the other six stories are in process of
construction.
As each story was finished a temporary
tar roof was put over it, under which the
plasterers, gas fitters, electricians, cabinet
makers and painters put the finishing
touches on the lower floors of the building
while the structural ironworkers were set-
