Past, denials and today's confessions
of liquidation are explained, by the re-
mark that when the reports were first
heard an acknowledgement of dlgsolu
v tion would have meant ruin fori the
house and a second panic on the stock
exchange. Cberlee- ;G. - Gates r A Ox

jected not only to the enormous obliga
tions the firm had incurred, but also to
the manner In which the debt hadlfeen

It was charged that the chief special
"partner, John W. Gates was respon
sible for one half of these liabilities,
and It was insisted that this be reduced.
If not liquidated, . at once. . The de
termination of three general partners to

scented the trouble and demanded that
the firm take up its loans.

Become Uneasy.
(Journal Special Service.)
San Diego, May 1. W. E. Pearce, gen
eral manager of the Pacific Coaat
Bteamshlp company, C. D. Dunarin, gen
eral passenger agent, and J. H. Cooper,
general freight agent, are in San Diego
and have asked the wireless station at
Point Loins, and through It the fleet at
Magdalena to try. to make connections
with the big steamer president, which
is bound around the horn from Phila
delphia for this port nd Ba Francisco..
Since leaving the port on the eastern
coast the President has not been heard
from but as she started out with the
intention of beating the time of the bat
tleship Oregon, it is natural that she
should not have touched at any port on
the way around. She waa equipped for
the full voyage, but the fact that abso
lutely nothing has been heard from the
vessel since she cleared has caused
some uneasiness.
