All Financiers and Mandates Who
Have Visited White House This
Winter Have Left Behind Threat
o Panic Taft Explains Measures
Are Designed to Benefit Capital.
WASHINGTON. . C. Feb. 8.
I'rcNldent Taft is face to face today
with tlm question of whether he muct
turn ti Ih back to tho wall and fight,
It out to n finish with the big finan
cial Intercuts, an well an with con-
grctui In order to put through his ex
ecutive program.
It In knowjn that threats of a pan
ic have been Intimated by financiers
and mugnatex who have visited the
White Hon bo this winter.
Tho fear of the federal incorpora
tion bill ban been expressed in bo un
certain terms.
Wall fltreet Worried.
Hut It Is believed here that 'Wall
street Is roost worried by the possi
bility of tbo United States supremo
court upholding tho Shcrroaa anti
trust law In the cases of (be American
Tobacco company and the Standard
Oil company. 4 .
Tliero has been a great abhadanco
of "advice" and "counsel' for the
president from Wall streeet this w la
ter.
Kvery floncter who has vMted the
White House has brought out the
"bugaboo" of a financial panic,
Would "ItBin,' CoHntry.
Most of them have tried to show
that radical legislation would "ruin
the country."
President Taft has hnd a hard time
ever since the beginning of tho pro.
ent session .frovlng thnt his measures
nrc "destined ultimately for the hen-
..4U 1
oi mpiiai.
ii is prcii) ueunuriy FCiueo inai
Taft proponen to make a general
Islntlon under the Shermn.i Anti-trust
If It upheld In the two big cases now

Standard Oil Cnio.
The supreme court Is to decide
wnemcr mo great , uocKcreiier nun-
dred million dollar holding company,
which represents holdings far In ex -
cess of Its capitalization, must bo dlB.,,.nor narraon wouJd mako a better
Hoivc.1 ncconiinn to the o. dor or ttie
federal circult.court at St. Ix)uIb.
Tho supreme court also must do-'
cldo whether the vast tobacco trust i
had been conducted in violation of
tho law.
Interests Nervous.
Aa tho day approaches for tho an
nouncement of these decisions, tho
nervous caaeB of tho "Interests" in
tho caso becomes more Intense. No
ono knows just when the supremo
court will hand down Its decisions.
If tho excitement In Wnll street
vaB caused yesterday by tho Intro
duction of tho federal inco-poratlon
bill, tho financiers wero frlghtonod
by a shadow.
Taft has no Intention of pressing
tho bill to paBsago at thin session.
Congress IUIIm.
It Is doubtful if ho could prod con
gress Into pnBHlng It ovon If ho was
determined to do bo.
Tho munsuro was introduced In
ordor that tbo committees might
thresh out Its faults and virtues and
whip It Into shnpo nB far us possible,
President Taft does not relish tho
Intimation of throatR from Wall
street.
Washington Sore.
Official Washington as a wholo
does uot .Iko tho suggestion that tho
Interests may liavo "fixed up a llttlo
panlo" for tho purpose of Influencing
tho supremo court of tho United
StnteH.
No ono Is to bo found who can sug
gest tho barest possibility of tho na
tion's highest tribunal being affected
by such a movement mt, , i
