JttW YOKE, Kovember 8. In
stealing of aid from the Treasury
Department remind me that Secretary
CftrtelTou to the recipient just bow of
a thai of unwarranted praise for Ms
pert in the recent panic.
It fa high time that the people real
Sard that the Secretary of the Treasury
is eostsdian of the pnblie moneys, and
Oat these moneys in theory and fact
tdecf to the public at large, to be need
a required for their benefit The hoard
ing el vast eunu of money by a gov
ranwst and particularly by a noa
auGtary government, such as our is a
fractie that baa met with sharp eon
eVnsation from political economists
tt world over. Millions of dollars are
Urn kept out of circulation; and when
tiers comes a financial crisis (canted
ia part by the federal hoarding of such
large sums) it is the bounden duty of
ike adminietratioa to lend all aid pos
sible to arert a general catastrophe
This 3Jr. Cortelyou did. He prompt
tmmei the people's money back to them
aai gilt-edged security for its repay
atent But to read the laudation that
ie hag received therefor, one would
Jaaay that the Secretary of the Treas
ury had patriotically come to the front
sand loaned his own funds at a moment
aea& wader circumstances, that entailed
great personal risk! He simply did hit
slaty,, as several of his predecessors
1mt damr under similar conditions, and
tie only praise be merits is for his
jromptnesg in meeting a crisis.
The one man who looms big in the af
4m lew of the panic is a financier who
tax fatf to stand for more undeserved a
Isbw thar any man in America. Had it
mat been for the quick decision and
pfcralid patriotism of J. P. Morgan
Ring and influencing immediate and
generous aid to the stricken financial in
stitutions of New York, many of our

foremost banks and trwst eompaaie
might today have been in the position of
the Knickerbocker Trust Company, Ilia
financial genius is truly Napoleonic and
his name at the head of any movement
carries more weight than those of 1
whole covey of ordinary millionaires.
Mr. Morgan has made mistakes of judg
ment is his long and useful career) but
of his patriotism and broad philantrophr
there can be no shadow of doubt.
A curious result of the panic Is that
there is more loose money in New
York than ever before more money
outside the banks, in wallets, stockings,
supposedly secure biding place, and safe
deposit vaults.
At the office of the Stats Bank Ex
arainer it was estimated that upward of
$73,000,000. has been practically takes
from the banks of Manhattan. This in
cludes not only the immense sums drawn
out by the panic-stricken depositors, bat
money that would ordinarily have bees
deposited, but is held by its owners. .
The companies doing a strictly safe
deposit business have been overwhelmed
with applications for strong boxes. Mil
lions of dollars have been packed in
these steel vaulta to await the time
when public confidence in banks sad
bankers is restored.
Another result of the panic is that
small tradesmen are reluctant about ac
cepting checks. They will not cash
checks as an accommodation and will not
take checks for purchases unless the
persons offering them are favorably
known.

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING
Still another curious effect has been
the direct and instantaneous loss to the
theatres. Managers say that at no pre
vious time has there been so much evid
ence of a connecting link between lower
and upper Broadway. The falling off in
attendance, while noticeable in the boxes
snd orchestras, was not felt in the bal
conies and galleries.
Those who have been hardest hit have
been the hotel and sidewalk ticket spe
culators. One who baa thousands of dol
lars invested in seats for the grand opera
seasons of the Metropolitan and Man
hattan opera-houses, said yesterday that
at this time last year he bad disposed
,of 8.3 per cent of his stock. This year
he has sold barely 33 per cent.
Theatrical men all say that when the
financial scare is over a reaction will
come and people will be more eager than
ever for the diversion of the theatre.
This is the opinion of people in all lines
of business. And the powers be thanked
that the purging process was so quick
ly accomplished!

WOULD CREATE RESERVE.
XEW YORK, Xov. fi.-The Outret con
tains an article by Dr. Edward L. Part
ridge proposing the creation of a na
tional preserve in the highlands of the
Hudson, commemorative of the war of
the revolution, and including the old
Revolutionary fortifications and land,
scattered between Cornwall and Fishkill
on the North and Peekskill and Jones
Point on the South, besides the Went
Point military reservation and the Iona
Inland naval station. The (.trip would

Cases of Industrial Slavery Astonish
Officials-Violations of the Law Will
be Vigorously Prosecuted Report
Maile on Existing Labor Conditions.
WASIIIXUTON. Nov. 6.-A compre
henslve report on labor conditions in
the South with special reference to the
pravtict of peonage in that section of
the country and the treatment accord
ed there to Italian and other alien set
tiers, has been placed In the hands of
the attorney-general by Mary Grace
Quackenbush, special assistant attorney
general for the southern district of New
York. '
Miss Quackenbush was sent South for
the purpose of investigating peonage
esses in Mississippi, Alabama, the Caro-
Unas and other states, on ths allegation
thst the law was being flagrantly vio
lated. She returned to Washington with
an abundance of evidence tending to
prove charges made In this connection
and criminal cases will be instituted tn
the courts baaed on information collect
edby her. ,
Mis Quackenbush spent ths day in
conference with officials of ths Depart
ment, of Justice, amplifying by verbal
explanation several matters touched on
in her written report.
It is understood that Miss Quacken
bush. as well as other officials who have
visited the South, are very pessimistic
as to ths success of the movement that
has been started to divert Immigration
to that section. This view is based up
oa the scare among aliens by peonage
cases in the South. Aliens snd negroes.
in many instances, were captured on var
ious pretext and held in stockades in a
condition bordering on absolute slavety.
Another obstacle to immigration to the
South, it is pointed out, is the wages
paid to laborers and mechanics there.
It is reported that wages In the North
are from 10 to 75 per cent higher, and
that unless there is a change in the at
titude of Southern employers, both in
the wages paid and in the treatment of
aliens, the government will find it
pretty difficult to induce immigrants to
go to the southern states.
The general question of immigration
is touched upon in passing by Miss
Quackenbush, who devotes the msjor
portion of her report to s discussion of
peonage cases in the Carolinas, Alabama
and Mississippi. It is understood that
she advises the attorney-general that
conditions are bad In a number of local
ities, notably In the Sunnysidc Colony
in Misiippi, which was established for
Italians. She reports that it is nothing
more or less than a large plantation
and that the Italians who live there are
very much dissatisfied with their en
vironment. While Miss Quackenbush declined to
talk about her visit to the South, and
the official likewise declined to discuss
the contents of her report to the attorney-general,
there is reason to believe
that she has made a report that Is start
ling in many particulars. The peonage
cases discovered in North Carolina by
Miss Quackenbush have astounded the
authorities. Announcement is made that
the cases of violation of law disclosed
will )e vigorously prosocuted and thai
every elTort will lie made by the attorney-general
to break up the practice of
peonage in the South.
Miss Quackenbush will remain in
Washington a day or so conferring with
the officials to be placed in immediate
charge of the campaign about to be
prosecuted as a result of her investiga
tion.

of Salt Lake City.
SALT LAKK, "Xov. 0. -Through the
election of John Bransford as mayor,
the general city ticket and a majority of

often told of late of the Inadequacy of
army pay Is repeated with a new varia
tlon in the annual report of Col. Hugh
U Scott, superintendent of the military
acadamy. in this case, for the firat
time in the history of the institution,
difficulty ha been experienced In seeur
ing a sufficient number of cadets to fill
the rank of the carp. Col. Scott say
that this corps is now 37 below Its au
thorlml strength snd the number of
resignation from the regular army In
clude ninety of this year's graduate
from ths scademy. Col. Scott saysi
"In the matter of trained soldier
the output of the military academy can
not with safety be permitted to fall
below ths rat of consumption of those
who have gone before, plus ths Increas
ed requirement of a great and grow

Withstood Other Treatment But Quickly
-' Cured by Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
"Last winter I caught a very severe
cold which lingered for weeks," ay J.
Lrquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. "My
cough was very dry and harsh. The

ever u"!cd." This remedy is for sale by

not a serious one. Kot another person

of the score of passengers on both
trains felt the shock of the impact.
The impenetrable pall of fog that en
veloped tho city this morning wa the
direct cause of the wreck, ths desire of
the crew of tho Bigg Local to "steal a

any blamS Is Axed it i likely to fall on
the shoulders of the engineer and fire
