that I accompanied her and a man
named Charles Meyers to Jersey City Is

last time he and his brothers and sisters
would be together this side the grave.

tinguished ecclesiasts in the denomina
tion. While in Portland he made many
friends. At the general reception to the

BRUSSELS, Dec 31. M. de Troos, Pre
mier and Minister of the Interior,' died
today. He became Premier May 2 last,
succeeding M. de Smet de Nayer. The
death of M. de Troos further complicates
the situation with regard to the annexa

looked to arrive at some compromise, as
he possessed much influence with King
Leopold.

LANDLORDS ARE YIELDING
OFFER TO COMPROMISE WITH
f. NEW YORK TENANTS.
Occupants of 600 Tenement-Houses
Combine to Resist Eviction rmy
of 77,000 Is in Revolt.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31. Who systematic
campaign for lower rents by thousands of
tenants on the lower East Side began to
show material results today, when land
lords announced that they w?ro refr-iy to
make reductions. Some el the landlords
offer to compromise, but in the main ten
ants hold out for a material reduction.
The rapidly Increasing numbers of men
and women out of work is an added ar
gument for a new rent scale. The United
Hebrew Charities Association will send
out J7000 tomorrow to aid the unemployed
to pay their rents.
The work of organizing the tenements
goes unceasingly on. The tenants' or
ganization says that 600 big tenement
houses have already organized to demand
lower rents when the rent collectors call
tomorrow. As there are from 20- to 30
families to a tenement and five persons
on an average to a family, it means that
the landlords already have over 77,000 peo
ple to contend with. Several labor or
ganization have indicated their intention
of aiding the tenants.
It is generally agreed by the tenement
organizations that, when tenants are
evicted for refusing to pay the old rent
scale, they will be sheltered by tenants
in the same house. The tenants demand
reductions of $2 a -month.
There were several mass meetings of
tenants tonight to discuss the situation.
The police do not apprehend any riots or
disorders.
BEGAN SUNNY, ENDS DARK
Dun's Review of 1907 Trade Finds
Some Cause for Joy.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31. The with
drawal of $125,000,000 from a few
large trust companies, precipitating a
season of hoarding and sending cur
rency to a premium at a time when it
was most needed throughout the coun
try, is credited by R. G. Dun & Co.'s
annual review of trade, published to
morrow, with having been one of the
great factors In turning the year 1907
from Its promise of new records in
prosperity to a closing period of finan
cial disturbance that caused many
plans for future extensions of business
to be either abandoned or postponed.
The restoration of normal conditions,
the review declares, depends upon
easier money and a revival of confi
dence, both of which seem nearer today
than at any tinve since October, when
the stringency began. While failures
were frequent during the last quarter
of the year, the review points out that,
if the comparisons are dated back to
previous periods of distress, there is
much cause for congratulation in the
insolvency returns. The review tells
of the unprecedented prosperity which
marked the first 10 months of the year
and of the ' crisis which came at the
end of October. In cases of insolvency,
the liabilities in the fourth quarter ex
ceeded those of any quarter since 1893.
It says, however:
Based on a ratio of liabilities to the
amount of capital involved, the mercantile
mortality in 3907 was comparatively light.
Taking the last quarter, which supplied
the largest amount of liabilities, the per
centage of defaults was only $2.41 to each
S1O0O of payments through the clearing
houses, whereas in the corresponding thre
months of l;sl3 the ratio was $7.83 and
the average for the same quarter for ten
years ending with 1S9S was over $3.
As an encouraging sign regarding
the steel trade, attention is called to
the fact that work has not been sus
pended on the steel plant at Gary.
As regards crops, high prices more
than compensated the farmers for re
duced crops and were readily paid by
foreigners, November exports of wheat
exceeding 20,000.000 bushels, the largest
monthly total in over Ave years. The
total valve of all agricultural products
was 7, bOO. 000.000. The value of the
cotton crop was $70,000,000 above the
previous high mark. . ,

PANIC NQtV OVER
Controller Issues Statement

Causes Are Deep-Rooted and Cure

of . Conditions People Have
Been Living Too High.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. W. B. Rldgely,
Controller of the Currency, today gave out
a statement dealing largely with financial
conditions during the year 1907, in which
he says: "The conditions which made
this crisis possible are the accumulated,
composite results of many years of busi
ness. The whole world has been over
trading and expanding and nowhere has
it been more rampant than in the Unlt-
HOOSKVELT REPLIES TO OR
EGON'S GREETING. '
A telegram, telling briefly
Oregon and Portland's story
of progress for 1907, was sent
to President Rooseyelt yester
day by the Portland Commer
cial Club, and a cordial reply
received from the President.
The telegrams follow:
Portland. Oregon, Dec. 81, 1907.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President,
Washington, D. C:
Portland and Oregon send greet
ings. The year closing today is the
record in commerce, shipping, man
ufacture, building, agriculture, hor
ticulture, dairying, immigration. Ir
rigation, and cash on hand. Port
land was -the first large city In the
United States to return to a cash
basis. All banks temporarily em
barrassed will pay In full.
PORTLAND COMMERCIAL CLUB.
THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington,
Dec. 31. 1907.
Portland Commercial Club, Port
land, Or. I thank you for vour
greeting and I extend a Happy New
Year to you. to Portland and to all
the states of the Pacific Slope and
the Rocky Mountains, and I Join
with you In wishing a Happy New
Tear for the whole country.

ed States. The . reaction was inevitable
and though it might not havs taken the
form of bank panic, had we been better
prepared with such a banking and cur
rency system as we should have, the
time has come when some or all must
pay for our over-indulgence. ,
The Controller said:
It Is the duty of the banks to reMore busi
ness to normal conditions by resuming their
functions as promptly and as fully as possi
ble. Fortunately the banks desire this and
conditions are euch as to .make It compara
tively easy. .
Reserves Are All Good.
The reports to the Controller show that the
reserves In the central reserve cities were but
22.2 per cent, against the legal requirement
of 25 per cent. The 40 reserve cities show
24.72 per cent of legal reserve, or almost the
full legal minimum. - while their total cash
means are S0.55 per cent of their deposits.
Of the 40 cities. 21 enow legal reserves
above 28 per cent, while 10 of them show
over 30 per cent of legal reserve and all but
eight of them show more thaa 25 per cent
of total cash means. The .largset reserves
are in the Texas cities, Galveston and San
Antonio Showing over 38 per cent of the legal
reserve and Galveston over 4S . per cent of
total cash means.
The returns as tabulated by states are also
significant and reassuring as to the general
conditions. There Is not one state which does
not show an excess of reserve above legal re
quirements of Its per cent, and an increase In
legal reserve and total cash means on Decem
ber 3, above thoee held on August 22.
Pacific States Lead.
In the subdivision by states, the Pacific
States show the largest legal reserve of 22.28
per cent, while the Western States show the
largest cash means, 32.11 pear cent. The most
Important significance of these figures to that
the readjustment of bank reserves has taken
place with so few bank failures.
From October 20 to December 30. 1907, there
nave been out 16 suspensions or failures of
National banks. Of these two have resumed
and several more should do so in the near
future.
Prom these facts in regard to the banking
situation It would seem but a fair conclusion
that the acute bank trouble is past, but values
of all kinds will have to be rearranged. We
have been going too fast in business and all
classes of people have been living too extrava
gantly. It will be good for all of us to
check this.

sons think a receivership wAuld be an
Impediment to Mr. Ladd in clearing up
the bank's obligations, while others take
the opposite view. In the event that re
ceivership should continue, Mr. Ladd may
desire to put in the bank a receiver of
his own choosing, to supersede Receiver
E. C. Mears. -
Ross Will Not Yield.
President Ross yesterday refused,
through his attorney, 'Wallace McCamant,
to cancel the $17,000 credits made by him
o-n his $31,000 note, November 2. between
the time the bank closed and failed. By
this transaction, Ross credited to' his ac
count on .his note balances held by him
in his own name and others at 100 cents
on the dollar, whereas those credits in
receivership would have been but 40 or
50 cents on the dollar.
We shall i certainly resist any effort
to cancel these credits." said Mr. Mc
Camant In a letter to Receiver Mears.
I am informed that all of the amounts'
which were credited on Mr. Ross' note
were his individual property and that
while there were other large deposits in
which he was Interested, none of .these
was used as an offset. I have advised
Mr. Ross that he Is entitled to an offset
against this note, of all sums deposited
with the Title Company, which were his
sole property.
'If you are open to conviction on this
questional will be glad to secure evidence
which should satisfy you that these funds
are the property of Mr. Ross."
Ross resorted to a sly scheme to
evade the new law regulating loans to
bank officers. The law says that a
bank officer must first secure the ap
proval of a majority of the board of
directors, before borrowing the bank's
funds, "or of an executive board or
discounting committee, selected by a
majority of its board of directors." On
June 18, 1907, soon after the law went
Into effect, the board of directors
adopted a resolution, containing the
rule as laid down In the law, and
created a loan and discount committee,
to pass on such loans, consisting of the
treasurer, secretary and assistant sec
retary T. T. Burkhart. .J. E. Aitch
ison and C. H.. Kopf. . v
This committee was but a fiction and
there is not even a Tecord of its having
sanctioned the loan made to Ross on
August 31. of $31,000. Kopf, the only
member of the committee still in the
bank, says the first and last be heard
of the committee was when he was ap
pointed a member June 18. Ross loaned
himself the money as'if there had been
no law. . v
JAPAN SUGGESTS PLANS
Reply to American Xote on Restric
tion of Emigration.
TOKIO, Jan. 1. The Japanese Gov
ernment late yesterday evening banded
to Ambassador O'Brien a memorandum
containing a reply to the suggestions
offered by the United States Govern
ment some weeks ago for the future
restriction of emigration. While the
contents of the memorandum are care
fully guarded, both at- the Japanese
foreign office and American . embassy,
the Associated Press has reason to be
lieve that the memorandum is couched
in the most friendly terms arid that,
while it accepts some American sug
gestions, it declines others as incom
patible with the dignity of Japan and
outlines plans for the further restric
tion of emigration to America.
The memorandum has been cabled to
Washington, whence a counter-suggestion
may be- forthcoming, but Japan
thinks the memorandum will .form the
basis of a final and satisfactory -understanding.
Officials of the Japanese foreign
office, talking to the Associated Press,
have said the system controlling the
emigrants, which will be immediately
enforced, would effectually avoid com
plaints arit-ing from the mistakes of
administration of the regulations In
augurated Jast Spring. The Japanese
Government has discovered the causes
of the failure of previous plans and
now proposes to demonstrate its ability
to prevent effectively the emigration of
laborers who are needed in the de
velopment of Japan. Japan's conces
sion limiting emigration to Canada is
a part of its entire scheme of control,
because Vancouver afforded an oppor
tunity for large numbers of Japanese
to cross the border into America.
UNCLE SAM GOING BEHIND
Large Decrease In December Re
ceipts and Increase in Expenses.'
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3L The forth
coming reports of the Government's re
ceipts and expenditures for the month
ending today will show a decrease in the
receipts as compared with December last
year of $S,529,152 and an Increase in ex
penditures of $9,381,414, making the net
loss for the year $17,910,566. The decrease
in receipts is from customs $6,895,959; from
Internal revenue, $2,768,645. Miscellaneous
receipts Increase $1,135,452. Increases
of expenu...ures are: Civil and miscella
neous, $3,000,000; war, $1,500,000; navy,
$4,000,000; pensions, $2,400,000; public works,
Increase from $4,843,711 to $8,899,000.
OIL-BURNERS ARE TO BE TRIED
Torpedo. Destroyers to , Be Eauipped
for That Fuel.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. Possibly the
fact that California produced great quan
tities of petroleum inclines Secretary
Mctcalf to favor the use of that fuel in
the Navy, where it can be done benefi
cially. Therefore plans for the new tor
pedo destroyers about to be prepared will
probably include a requirement that they
be designed for burning oil.
The fact that the newest British boats
of this class, which have attained the
extraordinary ' speed of 40 miles an hour,
are oil burners, has Influenced our Navy
Department in favor of the adoption of
liquid fuel.
OPPOSED TO FREE PULP
Littleficld Disagrees With Roosevelt,
but Expects Tariff Revision.
PORTLAND, Me., Dec. 31. Congress
man Charles E. Littleneld in a speech
last night on "Forests and the Tariff on
Wood Pulp." took issue with President
Roosevelt on the President's effort to
reduce the tariff on wood pulp, claiming
that such action would tend to increase
rather than diminish the drain on Amer
ican forests. He argued that the Cana
dian Government would surely Impose an
export duty as agitation' to that end al
ready had been started. The American
manufacturers of paper, be declared,
would then be forced to seek their pulp
wholly in American forests on account of
the higher price the Canadian product
would command. Regarding the' protec
tive tariff in general, Congressman Lit
tleneld said In part:
"There will be a general revision of
the tariff in the near future, but there
will not be nor Is there any necessity of
a revision of any - particular schedule at
this time. That part of the country in
which you and I live will now exercise a
determining influence In that revision.
The suggestions which will come from
the committee on ways and means will
be submitted to a caucus of the Republi
can members of the House and Senate.
In that caucus those states west of Penn
sylvania will have a majority of 60 over
those states east of Pennsylvania. When
you realize what that majority of 60
means you will realize that there never
wiil be another tariff schedule that will
treat the industries of New England with
the consideration that they now enjoy."-
