From the llarrlm.in whoso attitude towards tho reporters was that of the conscious master, condescending, even contemptuous, as lie was a few months ago to the urbane, gentle, almost af fectionate. Mr. Harrlnian who looka to the reportorlal wisdom to dispel econ omic bugaboos from the railroads' path of progress, is a transition almost In conceivable. On former visits tho ,door of Mr. llarrlman's private car presented a black wall to the unwelcome news paper reporter. The sagacious little master of a largo part of the economic power of the nation could soo no reason why Inquisitive. meddling reporters should intrude on his valuable time, with their humble pieadlugs for crumbs of Information from the rail king's hoard.

Depositors' Association Has Abandoned Plan. Not - It ft: hi Final settlement of the question of abandonment, by the Depositors' asso ciation workers, In the matter of secur ing signatures for bonds of the Homo Telephone company to enable the bank to be reorganised. Is still pending. The results of yesterday's work at the asso ciation rooms was encouraging, and threw a ray of hope strong enough to renew waning courage. More than $20,000 was subscribed In bonds, as compared to $7,000 the previous day. "We will not act rashly In the mat ter, but aro seriously considering the chances of success, and counting the coat If we decide to abandon the work." Bald President John L. Day. "There is : no use of our continuing to glvo our time to this work if it is not reason- ably effective, and the moment that we ! are convinced that we are not going to ' (ret the support of the whole body or i depositors we will give it up nnd quit, and let all scramble Individually I he best they can to get some portion of . their money, in the course of the next I : four or five years, from the receiver. Chanca Slim. ! "The history of bank failures ought I to be enough to teach every depositor j that such chances are slim and in the I far distant future. One bank that went Into receivership in Portland paid i two dividends to the depositors in lo i years. The first dividend was 10 p r j cent of the claims, the next was lfi -.1 j per cent, and that was tho last. Thev never got another penny. Would not 1 a depositor be better off with a mort- j gage security In his pocket paving him ; 6 per cent interest annually, and carry- : Ing with It In addition a stock bonus .'if I 60 per cent that Is certain to , worth' enough to make him a profit In add!- ! tlon to his interest? " The doors of the bank were kept open j last night until 9 o'clock to tzive ilie Depositors' association all possible op j portunlty to receive depositors and dis- cuss with them the proposition of sub scribing to Home Telephone bonds In lieu of their deposit accounts. So. ro- j tary Richmond held forth in the room assigned to him on the second floor. i. and did similar duty.

The facta are these: When the failure occurred the telephone company j wanted to tako Its bonds back In lieu i of its deposit certificates of half a million dollars. It was proposed to our committee imii a pian migni ne de vised to reorganize the bunk if the de positors would take long tlm certifi cates In lieu of their deposit books, uml that the Home Telephone company would take back Its bonds and cancel the de posit certificates it holds against the bank. We positively refused thin propo sition. It would huve been like skim ming the cream for the telephone com pany and giving the curd to the depos itors. "Suppose we had accepted this propo sition, the Telephone company would have got back Its securities, which are the best securities In the bank, and it could have retired safely and fully paid up. while the depositors would have gone .away with long-time certificate which mean an agreement on the part of the bank to redeem such certificates within one. two or three years. Sup pose the bank had then reopened, and again closed'.' The depositors would-be left holding the empty bag, as It were, while the telephone company would have come out with the full amount of Its claim. That this was not the result in the case of the iregon Trust and Havings hank was no fault of the Home Telephone company. Wo were nble to reverse the proposition and give tho depositors the end of the bargain th,at was desind by the telephone company. "In nth. r words, if anybody holds the empty bag In this rlan it will bo the tejepiione company. It was given the only alternative, that of taking the proffered long time certificates itseltj and giving the depositors the frit chance to lake the bonds. The puzzle?! to my mind is that not all of the de positors seem to have comprehended the true situation, or do not care enough about it to come In and hear till' matter explained." a corporation Mr. Harrlnian. attired In full dress. hammered In armed with cigars and cigarettes and a manner of intimate good-fellowship, clasps his visitor's bund with the sin cerity of friendship. Before tho re porter knows the detli of Mr. Ilarrl m.'in s Joy at seeing him ho is gently pushed Into a seat on the blue bro catel diven with gold arms, Mr. Harrl mau is sejited by his side offering htm a cigar und asking his advice about how to serve tho dear people In the operation of his railroads. With all tho finesse of a beautiful female lobby ist laying siege to a new legislator from fl rural district the master of jrn.ooo. 000 worth of rallrouds. whose will innkes and unmakes cities and states. who contributed a lortune to elect a president, panders to the egotism of the reporter. Nino times out of ten the reporter leaves the Jlfhi a day rooms feeling that at last his Judgment Is valued for what it Is worth by a great man whoso keen conception made the disco voYy. The effect Is just what the shrewd Mr. Harriman expects. Tho reporter Is convinced the railroad king "is a good fellow" and therefore ought to he left undisturbed In the possession of every thing he can acquire. Others Are Amused. Other financiers smile at what they regard as llarrlman's "hot-air'' for the press. They become grave, however, when they consider Its cause. A na tional shortage of nearly 1.000,000 bush els of grain, u hostile press und public opinion, demands for government regu lation or ownership of railrorvJa, n. panicky stock market and portends of coming disaster for "robbed" stocks with unfriendly eyes turned on the pos sessors of "swollen fortunes" fighting among themselves are said to furnish abundant reasons for all of Mr. llarrl man's Pkill In winning the good-will () men whose reports will doubtless affect the public.

Wilson, a player not conslderod to bo of Mrs. Hill yard's rank as a general thing. Mrs. Hlllyard was not entirely pleased at the result and after the match she wrote a letter to an English newspaper, in the course of wnlch she put down tno fol lowing things: "I was advertised to play Miss Wilson In the center court at 2 o clock, nnd as I find that I have now to bo very careful of what I eat before a match. I had but a small plat,c of rice pudding at 1 o clock. "When I arrived at the court it was pouring with rain, and tho tarpaulin was on the court. The referee then told us that he should be glad If we would go on, If we do not mind. I promptly re fused, having looked forward for a fort night to thla match, and wished to play It on a dry court with a good gallery. "The rain wont on steadilv falling until 4:30, and then the referee told us lie should put on a ladies' double as soon as it stopped. At that I went Into the tea tent nnd at tho risk of having to ap pear positively vulgar I must tell you what I ate, thinking, of course, that nil chnsjre of my playing in tho champion ships was over. "Two Bath buns. "Six or seven slices of bread and but ter. "Three or four cups of tea. "Six or seven hlscult cakes. "Two or three slices of other cake. "Not satisfied with that, when I went up to the ladles' dressing-room (here were some beautiful strawberries pro- viueu lor ine players, ano i ate "Throe plates of strawberries. "I did this, having had a very light lunch and not expecting to dine until 9 or 9:30. As soon as I had eaten this fearful meal the refsree came nnd asked mo as a particular favor if I would play Miss Wilson, as he was not going to play a ladies' double, after all. "I again refused, and he went away, but returned In five minutes and said that a committee meeting had been hold over It and the verdict was I had to ploy whether I liked It or not. "I immediately said I would scratch, nnd Indeed did so. but Miss. Wilson was upset about It, pointed out what a false position It placed her in. and implored me to reconsider my decision, which I did to please her. I like her very much Indeed. "Unfortunately, one cannot control one's feelings. I did not lose' mv tem per In the court, as It had gone before I commenced playing, and from start to finish I never tried one stroke. I hit as hard na I could to give veht to my temper, but I felt rrfore inclined to hang a ball Into the committee box tnttn to make any winning shot." Across Africa by Motor. From the Rhodesia Herald.
