President Bslng Urged by Conrva
Hve financial Lea dare
j Washington, Nov. 4. 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.

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.

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.

MIS
MONEY FLOWS BACK
Eastern Financial Situation Now
Almost Normal.
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.

ROADS HIT BACK
Refuae Lumber Shipment Until Fur '
Iher Notice, y
Belllngham. Wash.. Nov. 1. No
more lnmber shipments will be received
by the Northern Pacific railroad In tbe
Northwest until further notice. Thi
i th order sent out to all agents of the
company last night.
Thl mote of the Fctnem Pacific ia
expected to be followed by all the rail,
roads affected by tbe injunction Issued
by the Federal court in Seattle Thurs
day night, making it oompnlaory oa
the part of the railroad to charge tb
old rate of 40 cent on lumber from
terminal point on tbe Pacific Coast.
Ih railroad, bad issued a new sched
ule of rate that were to be effective
today. Tbi new schedule was fought
by the lumbermen and resulted in tbe
issuance of the temporary injunction.
The railroad! bsve evidently fonnd
another method of combatting the lum
bermen. The latest move ia tbe refusal
to accept any shipment! of lumber at
any rate. Tbe roads figure they would
be taking too great a risk to allow th
excess freight to accumulate until a
final decision on tbe rate -is made, a
tbey aay that litigation will cnn be
fore the matter i aettled, and many
of the lnmber fit ma may hav gone ont
ol business.
COURT SIGNS ORDER.
Grants Injunction Asked by th Oregon
Lumberman.
Portland, Nov. 1. Following the de
cision rendered by tbe United State
Circuit Court at Seattle Wednesday,
Judge Wolverton, of the Federal court,
granted an injunction yesterday re
training tbe railroad, from potting ia
tbe advanced lumber latea to the Eaa
until the merit of tbe case can be set
before the Interstate Commerce com
munion and a hearing be held. Th
restraining order wa asked by tha Ore
gon & Washington Lnmber Manufac
turers' association, and upon hi return
from Seattle yesterday morning Judge
Wolverton announced that the prayer
of the lumbermen would be granted.
Judge Wolverton ordered the asaoeia-'
lion to pnt op a bond for 8250,000 that
will be called for in tbe event the rail,
roads finallywin. This money will be
used to pay the difference between the
present rate and the proposed tariffs,
should the railroads finally win.
Lnmber companies in the state not
membera of the asaociatiorl are advieed
to file anita in intervention aa aoon aa
possible, in order that tbe railroads
will not be enabled to enforce the pro
posed freight rate on firms not par tie
to tbe suit brought by the association.
The advanced rate, a announced by
the railroad on all lnmber shipment
to the Missouri and Mississippi ilvera,
were to bave gone into effect today.
but tbe Injunction will poet pone them
indefinitely. Tbe increase was pob
liehed some time ago and tariffs issued
by the railroads. Appeals were mad
direct to the Interstate Commerce com
mission to postpone the enforcement
of tbe rate, but aa no complaint waa
before the commission, it could not act
upon the appeal.
MONEY IS EASIER.
Acuta Stag of Financial Crisis Over
In Ea.t. ' ' .
New York, Nov. 1. 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.
