letter to Springer chairman of the
committee on banking and currency of
the house, in which he says:
Il write to beg you to ask the secre-
tary of the treasury to exercise the op-

dollars. The treasury reserve is now
composed of about 1O5,0OO,OOO of gold

AN ASCENDING PRESIDENT.
The Fugitive President of Northwestern
Guaranty Loan Co, Heard From.


Minneapolis, Feb. 22.-The Journal
prints today a letter from Louis r.
lMenage, the fugitive president Of the
Northwestern Guaranty Loan Company
explaining his series of large transac-
tions which ultimately led to the COM
pany's failure. The letter Is not dated
and 1t is explained that the letter was
written to a personal friend In Mime
apolis. Menage goes into the history
of the company's real estate transac-
tions In Minneapolis, Seattle. Ellens-
burg, WASH, North Galveston, Texas,
Great Falls, Helena, Montana, and Chi
cago, at great length, and explains how
most of them would have been profit
able II times had continued prosperous.
He contends that no one suffered by the
failure more than he has himself. Ex-
planning his flight he declares TO stay
meant either death of the insane asy-
lum, according to the advice of his ply
sicians. He was physical and mental
wreck and unequal to the task of |
strengthening out the affairs of the
company. The purpose Of the letter
becomes evident when Menage declares
his belief that If allowed to assist in
settling up the affairs of the company
he could save very much more for the
creditors than any one else, and could
vt the end pay all claims. He is an
xious to undertake the work on sal
Try, simply sufficient to support his
amily. To accomplish this. he says
hat the criminal suits against him
hould be continued until the work is
lone. He is confident Of his ability to
rove his entire innocence.
