It ia learned here from undoubted sources that Pres ident Booaevelt is now being urged to call an extra session of congress to deal with th financial situation. Th re quest come from and represents the judgment of the conservative leaders in the financial world, who have repre sented the present aituation a one com pelling action of a character that will eradicate all ground for lueplcion'of American industrial method. The president ha been assured from mt reliable .our tea that there will be no opposition on tb part of tb great Industrie of th oounUy to the enact ment of tbe neceseary laws to carry ont bl. Idea of Federal control to the ex tent to which be haa expounded them in hi recent public utterance. These assurance are made at thl time to what has been represented a the moet dangerou situation which haa con fronted the country during an extended historic period that is, the seeming growing lack of confidence based on known im gularitles In busineea meth od in some quarters and no sure and speedy meant of separating the good Irom tbe nnsound. To this end it is suggested that tbe president set congress to the task, first, of making soeh amendments to the fi nancial laws aa will result- in tb max imum of flexibility with the minimom of basic change in our ryatem; next, and perhaps moat in importance, that the president embody bis suggestion. ou corporation control In succinct re commendation for enactment into law. CONTINUES HOLIDAYS. Qouernor to lu Proclamation From Day to Day. November 2, 1907. Whereas, It has been and ia impos sible for the bank of Oregon to secure shipments of coin or currency from Eastern financial centers, although large balance are due to the bank of thi atate from Eastern banka; and Whereas, Requests bave come to me from the leading banka of the whole state, a well a from different commer cial bodies and depositor to make pro clamation of a legal holiday from day to day until money can be ibtalned to handle tbe largely Increased industrial nd commercial interests; and Wbereai, I am firmly convinced from Information I have received, that our bank, were never in better condition than at this time, and are only in need of money which are actually dne them from correspondent banka to tide over tbe present crisi.: Now, therefore, I, George .. Cham berlain, governor of tbe atate of Ore gon, by virtue of tbe authority vested in me, do declare Monday, the 4th day of November, 1907, a legal holiday for the purpose of assisting in tiding over the present financial stringency and protecting the credit ol tbe state until coin or currency, now die and owing our people, can be obtained; and I do declare it my purpose to continue to declare such holidays from day to day until bnsineaa conditions appear to me to be normal. In teatiinooy whereof I have hereun to tubacriued my nam and caused the great leal of the atate of Oregon to be affixed at tbe capito), in tbe city of Salem, thi. 2d day of November, A. D., 1907. George E. Chamberlain, Governor. By the Governor, Frank Benson, Secretary of State. - Employee Lend to Employer. Chicago, Nov. 4. Payroll worries were not among the cares Saturday of Henry G. Dawson, manufacturer of mantles. A score of his own employes, all workingroen, surprised him by offer ing him enough currency, about $6,000, to carry through two paydays. If Mr Dawson should need more money be fore the flurry in tbe market is a thing ol history, the men on the other side of hii desk will bring more. .Last week Mr Dawscn made reveral deposits which would have carried him through if he had kept them in his own safe. Farmers Hold Crops. ' Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4. The finan cial troubles in New York, with their later echo In the West, have not alarm ed the farmers of Nebraska. For the past decade farmers of thia atate bave disposed of their crops by contract be fore they were harvested, but condi tions have changed. Farmers are build ing barni to store away the corn they have harvested. They say they will hold their grain for higher price, al though as high as 43 cents ia offered. Chines Stone Misalonarlea. Hongkong, Nov. 4. Tbe Scandinavi an mission in the district qt Namho has been attacked by the anti-foreign ele ment of the population. The mission aries.

AN INCOMING STREAM OF GOLD Lusitanla Halls for Nsw York With 10,000,000 Each City Hus bands lta Own Supp'y. New York, Nov. 2. The financial situation Is gradually clearing without ahowing any striking feature. Bun. on tbe banks and trust companies are practically over; money, which waa temporarily withdrawn Irom Dann mo led to runs, is flowing to the stronger banks, and currency hi being provided in moat cases where the demand for it is considered legitimate. Further engagements of gold by Bos ton and other points have brought op the total engagements abroad under toe recent movement to $26,660,000. The Luaitana, which sailed from Liverpool yesterday, haa on board about $10,000, 000 in gold, on of the largest single hioments ever made. Price of ex change were firm during the early part of yesterday and did not yield seriously at any time. The fact that tbe atock exchange of London and Paris were closed on aocount of AJ1 Saints day pre vented any comparison of quotations on srbitraee operations. Balance with the clearing nonse have settled down to a normal condi tion, but there ia still something of a blockade in domestic exchange tbrongh tbe nnwillin.nessof New York banks to pay currency on drafts from other citiea and tbe unwillingness of other cities to pay out their currency upon drafts from New York. The condition of affair indicates a continued pressure for currency rsther than a breakdown of credits, but reasonable demands are being met for regular customers ol tbe banks. The possibility of battening tbe ex port movement of wheat and cotton still engages the attention of foreign exchange dealers and also of those who endeavor to keep in touch with the gen eral aituation. DELIVERY AT JOLIET. Supreme Court Decision Turns Loose IOO Chicsgs Criminals. Chicago. 111.. Nov. 2. The doors of the Joliet penitentiary awing open to day and the first batch of nearly 100 murderers, highwaymen, burglars ana other criminate will be turned loose s a result of a recent decision of the Supreme court, which held that tbe municipal court of Chicago could not legally try ease in which the indict ment were returned by a Cook county grand jury. Tbe situation ' one of the most seri ous that ever confronted Chicago. If tbe dec if ion of the highest touit is to atand, it means that on the eve of win ter footpads, murderers, and criminals of all cuuwse are to be turned loose' on the streets of the city. State's Attorney John I. Healy, how ever, haa decided to take drastic steps to prevent the wholesale liberation of crimiuils. He construes the decision to mean that the Supreme court never intended that convicted criminals should be given liberty, but that each and every man most stand trial again this time in the Criminal court. LIFTS THE EMBARGO. Northern Pacific Dec dea to Receive Lumbar Shipment. Bellingham, Wash., Nov. 2. The order of the Northern Pacific, railroad reiuslng to bill out any carloads of lumber from the Northwest, was in force jnet one day. Last night just before the office of the company closed, the order wa rescinded. The North ern Pacific will now accept lumber shipments at the new rate, but will not be able to collect the 50-cent tariff pending the decision of the Interstate Commerce commission. Tbe injunc tion issued by the Federal court in Se attle forbids the collecting of more than the old 40-cent rate. Ford Caae Postponed. San Francisco. Nov. 2.

Indication thai the available supply of caah would be materially Increased wtbin a short time with imports of gold and th increase of the tank note circulation, and that the movement of cotton and grain crop would be facilitated in every way pos sible, with the result of increasing our credits abroad, were the salient feat urea of today' financial aituation. It seemed to be recognised everywhere that tbe acute stage of the crisis wa over and that all that remained waa to obtain sufficient currency to resume currency payments upon a broad acale and thus to restore condition! prevail, ing before the crisis. The engagements of gold made in New York, Chicago and elsewhere brought up the total import movement within the past week to $23,750,000. As the amount of gold will afford a basis of credit to four times tb amount, nr about $95,000,000, it will in itself afford much relief to th ex isting pressure. Calls River Congre.l. Cincinnati, O..
