Financiers Tell Why Receivership
Was Necessary,
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20. - President
Mcleod of the Reading, in an interview
tonight, said he was sorry that they
were driven to the necessity for a receiv-
ership, but it was the only thing to do.
Their credit was attacked in a way
that made it impossible for
them to meet their obligations and they
had a receivership established before
the property was further injured. Tney
were doing small business on small
capital, and when the attack was made
it hurt their credit 30 they couldn't Dor
row money.
NEW York, Feb. 20.-Ex-Senator
Plat, speaking of his application for q
receiver for the Reading, said tonight
that he found the company unable to
meet its debts and made an affidavit to
that effect as the basis for the spplica-
ton. His only desire was to see if the
company could not be reorgsnized and
put on proper basis once more.
Russell Sage said: "McLeod is q
smart man and I believe he has the sup
port of the people holding Reading
stock"
The total amount lost by the stock
holders in Reading since February is es-
timsted at $34.063,112.

A Smart Skipper Circumvents
the Law.
The Prosecution Baffled in the Olsen
Smuggling Case.
The Principal Defendant Marries the
Chief Witness for the Plaintiff
So That She Cannot Tes-

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 20. Captain
Deering, once chief officer of the Hay
ten Republic, and now commanding the
schooner Olsen, suspected of smuggling
operations, has seriously embarrassed
the local authorities in the investigation
of the Olsen opium conspiracy case, by
marrying the chief witness for the
prosecution, Mrs. Mary Essie West.
The trial has been going on in the
federal district court, with Fred Lupp,
one of the crew, as defendant. The
chief testimony against the Olsen is
letters alleged to have been written by
Captain Deering to Mrs. West, with
whom his relations were most friendly,
and in which he 10 said to have freely
disclosed his plans. When Deering took
charge of the Olsen she was fitted up for
a fishing voyage from here. She went
to Puget sound, and there, it ia alleged,
35 Chinese and large quantity of OPT
UNI were taken board for importation
into the United States.
Meanwhile Deering had been writing
to Mrs. West, and she had permitted
the letters to be seen by her father, J.
81. Hobart. The latter notified Collect
or Phelps, at this port, of behring's
movements, and he dispatched the rev.
enue cutter Corwin up the coast to in
tercept the Olsen. The schooner, how
ever, gave the revenue officials the slip,
and one night landed her cargo at Mon
terey. Upon her return to this port her
officers and crew were arrested.
The trial of Lupp has been in progress
for some days, and the nuptials between
celebrated last Saturday. The marriage
was kept secret and was first disclosed
when the bride was called to the witness
stand to testify against her husband.
When asked about the letters, behring's
attorney objected on the ground that
she was being forced to testify against
her husband. The court, however,
ruled that she must answer. The trial
is still in progress.

The Alleged True History of tho Read

BosroN, Feb. 20.-An interesting story
is given out by the Boston News bureau
as the true history of the Reading affair.
1t seems that after Charles o. Parsons
developed the New York roads in North

town and ogdensburg system, ;. Pierre
pont Morgan went before directors

asked them if they were aware that at
little cost the new system could parallel
the New York Central and connect
with the Fitchburg at Albany.
They we're startled and bought the
Parsons system to keep 1t from a posi-
Die connection with the New England.
A few months later Parsons appeared in
the New York and New England. Nor
gan went to the New York, New Haven
and Hartford people and told them to
pinch Parsons all they could, and not
allow him to build up, az he did against
the New York Central. A "pinching"
policy was inaugurated forthwith. but
suddenly Mcleod of the Reading ap-
peared on the field and announced that

property on which McDade made the
levy was 5000. O'Donnell demands

SILVER LEGISLATION.
1t Is Not Probable That Any Will Be
Enacted.

1t Is Not Probable That Any Will Be
Enacted.
WARRINGTON, Feb. 20.--Representa
tive Livingston Of Georgia is preparing
a bill on the lines OF the understanding
reached yesterday at a conference be-
tween Senator Carlisle and q Demo-
cratic members of the house, repre-
senting the various elements-except
the radical free coinage rnen-of the
party on the silver question. The un-
derstanding reached, the men present
say, could not be called a definite agree
ment. 1t is to suspend silver pur-
chases; to reserve sufficient silver to
provide for the redemption OF the out
standing notes issued in payment OF sill
yer, representing the profit or the
difference between the purchase price
and the coin value of the silver hereto
fore bought. After this is done, silver
purchases are to be resumed unless
there is new legislation meanwhile.
The profit amounts to about SAT 900, 900,

the bullion.

claim by this compromise to have caused
enough men to change their views to
turn the scale in favor of the cloture,
provided they can first get another re-
port from the rules committee, and then
hold the votes they obtained last time.
Matters have not yet assumed shape 30
that the proposed measure can be sent
to the banking committee.
The bill was shown to the Republicans
by Tracey of New York and they were
asked If they would support it. Nearly
all the Republicans who voted with the
anti-silver men the last time replied
that they would not do so. It, there
fore, seems likely that the silver
bullion purchase act cannot gain
the votes necessary to Its passage, as the
free coinage Democrats say they will re-
fuse to vote for it, and the Republican
detection more than offsets the Demo
cratic gain made 90 the result Of the
conference.
One proposition which found consider

house among the free coinage men pro.

amount.

York and New England, and his friends
Immediately began selling their Reading
stock, and some Reading people have
scored handsome profit by being short
of Reading in the market. The re-
suit is that the Mcleod party is in
position today to buy back all the
Reading they sold and more. The stock
is worth intrinsically $40 per share more
than ever before. Its property and
holdings are among the best in the
country. The conspiracy against the
Readings finances will be checkmated
by the receivers in the interest of the
company. Of course it is the Pennsyl-
vsnia, Vanderbilt, Wagner and Drexel-
Morgan interest against the Reading,
Pullman and New England interest.
The Reading people today are stronger
than most people imagine.
