dustr1es and prosperity. 1t is, in my
opinion, fundamently wrong and
vicious. i ain a believer in gold and
silver a the metallic basis of values
and of the worlds currency, and l am
confident that within a time not far
distant there will be a conference of
the nations upon hat subject by which
the ratios of values of the two metals
for the coinage and currency purposes
will be fixed and the stability of such
values maintained by
Au international Agreement.
I am aware that this view is looked
upon as financial heresy. by some and
as visionary by others. But such per-
sons must be themselves ignorant of
the latest developments of scientific
thought upon this subject and the rapid
advancement this view is making
where heretofore it has had little sup
port. Until that occurs, I believe any
action by the United States alone would
be disastrous to us, would bring gen.
eral ruin to our present prosperity and
would hinder the true and final solu-
ton of the problem.
These opinions I do not entertain nor
express as a candidate for the presi-
dency (for which office l have already
said I would not be a candidate) but in
order that your people, who have views
differing from those, may not be de-
ceived as to mine.

NONE GOT AWAY
Wholesale Indictment Of Bucket
Shop Operators by Chicago
Grand Jury.
Capiases Will Be Issued For
Nearly Three Hundred of
Them.
Board of Trade and Civic FEEDER
alton Behind the Prose-
cutiOn.

CHICAGO, March 1.-The grand jury
voted true bills against 2s2 persons &C
cused of conducting bucket shop oper.
atoms in Chicago. This practically
covers every bucket shop in this city,
4S in all. The grand jury's action is
the result of an investigat On carried
on by a committee of the board Of trade
and was made under the direction and
by the aid of the body of public spirited
citizens known as the civic federation.
The presentation of the evidence was
a surpr Sc to the grand jury, and there
was opposition on the part of several
members to taking the matter up.
States Attorney Kern is said to have
informed the jurors that in case they
refused to take the bucket shop cases
up, he would be compelled to call a spe-
cial grand jury. 1t was decided after
some consideration by the jury to hear
the evidence. Capiases will be issued
for the arrest of each person indicted.
This wholesale Indictment Of bucket
shop operators was eve before
equaled in Chicago. States Attorney
Kern remarked:
ut is a clean sweep Of the bucket
shops. People have been demanding
that the bucket shops be wiped out.
Many times before indictments have
been found, but invariably the evidence
was weak and convictions could not be
obtained. Now I am assured the evil
dence is strong, and convictions may
be had"

The Seaboard VIII Stand Still and Let

80 Per Cent Cut Basis.
Baltimore Herald.
Vice President E. St. John, of the Sea-
board Air Line, arrived 10 Baltimore Sat.
urday and conferred with President R.
R. Hoffman regarding the Southern rate
war.
After the two officials had settled the
business before them, Mr.. St. John was
seen by Herald reporter, who ssked
him whether the Seaboard Air Line
would meet the proposed 50 per cent cut
in rates to Atlanta and other competitive
points on it's line which, it is stated, the
Southern Railway, through it's Southern
States Freight Association, will adopt on
August l upon certain of the higher clas-
ses.

ed action on the part of the SouthernRail.
way is the sheerest nonsense" answered
Vice President St. John. THE Seaboard
Air Line will neither issue such tariff up-
on such classes of freight, as it is stated
the Southern will adopt the 80 per cent
cut for, nor will it permit such rates to
BIZ named over its lines by any of it's con-
nections, The people will quickly dis-
Germ the motivesof the Southern in put,
ting in such rates, which has for it's i'm
tent nothing less than the forcing of such
business upon the destruction of the only
competitor the business world and the
people have for the South''
"WilI the Seaboard Air Line, provided
such rates are issued, modify in any way
it's present tariff, which 10 reduction o.
33a per cent. of the rates heretofore pre-
vailing?'
"It will be very likely to do SO, and es-
pecially it's passengers rates, which seen
yet too high"
"What will be the result upon the rev.
enues of the Southern of continuing suct
a tariff as it proposed by them to adopt
on August II" inquired the reporter
"The Seaboard' struggling as it is,
said Mr.. St. John, "with an adVesarI
| who has no other motive than that of th'
destruction of its business, could ask to-
Hathing better than that the Southern
shall carry out to the fullest its announce
ment for August l, because it will ruiz
their revenue, and hurry the time, which
some people believe is not far distant
when @ reorganization of its system mus
