BEvERIDGE TO THE BANKERS
Indiana's Eloquent Young Senator
Speaks on "The brotherhood of
business" at New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Men of prominence
in money and banking circles to the number
of nearly 400 met tonight at the annual
banquet Of group No. s of the New York
Bankers association, held at the Waldorf
Astoria. 1t had been expected Secretary
Gage would be at the banquet, but a tele-
gram was read from him in which it was
stated that he could not be present on ac-
count of his health.
Among those at the guests table were
Rev. DR.. David Greer, ]. Edward Simmons,
Fred d. Happens, Joseph C. Hendrix, j.
Pierpont Morgan, Charles Emory Smith,
postmaster general; Morris X. Jessup, City
Comptroller Bird S. Coler and Conrad Jor-
dan. The toast, THE President of this
United States" was drunk standing amid
great enthusiasm.
Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith
spoke.
Just as the postmaster general was con
GLIDING his speech Governor Roosevelt en-
tered the room, accompanied by ex-Gov-
ecnor Morton, and they were given a rous-
ing reception.
The bankers stood up and shouted their
approval as the governor bowed his ac-
acknowledgements.
Senator Beyeridge of Indiana spoke in
part as follows:
IF a banker Is merely the servant of
business. if he is merely an agent of the
American people, it is impossible that he
should want to injure the people or their
business because that would injure him
self. If the bank prospers only when the
country prospers it follows it is the bank
ers chief interest 10 guard the country
prosperity. And since the laboring man
can get best employment only when the
country prospers it is also the %laboring
mans chief interest to guard the country's
prosperity. And so the laborer and banker
stand side by side with the same interests,
the same purposes and the same results fol
lowing their actions; for if either does any
thing that destroys the prosperity OF the
other, or the prosperity of the country. he
thereby destroys his own prosperity.
land the welfare of the workingman
means the precedent prosperity of the man
ufacturer who employs him. And the pros
perity Of the manufacturer depends upon
the prosperity of the farmer who buys
everything he makes. And the prosperity
of the railroad is possible only when rapid
and general exchange OF products Of farm,
factory and mine occurs. And so the real
prosperity OF every industry and every call
ing rests on the prosperity OF every other
industry and calling in the nation. When
we injure one we injure all When one
Injuries another II Injuries the rest. For we
are all woven together in this wonderful
civil life. with all the forces of organized

To REGULATE The SlOP. BOXES
City Council Proposes to Enforce the
Ordinance Recently Passed,
WILL BE NO RtSPiCTER OF PERSONS
Private Individuals and Corporations
stand on the Same Level In the
Eyes OF the L~nw-Finc
for Failure.
WILL BE NO REsPiCTER OF PERSON;

City officials say the "stop-box' ordi-
nance, passed by the council Monday, Will
be enforced 1T once and that no distinction
will be made between corporations and
private owners.
One Of the provisions of the ordinance
requires that all stop-boxes must be ad-
iusted to comply with the present level Of
the sidewalks and this has raised thc
question whether the city can compel a
person to lower a ]stop-boX to the level of
a sidewalk which has sunk below grade the
stop-box being at grade. This question was
brought UP at the time the ordinance was
introduced and the aldermen decided il
would be cheaper to adjust the stop-boxes
to the level of the sidewalks than to bring
the sidewalks which had sunk up to grade,
especially in the case of brick or stone
walks.
The measure requires that all owners of
stop-boxes which are not flush with the
sidewalks shall adjust them so as to be on
a level with the walks within ten days after
they shall have received notice from the
city council to do so.
Another provision Of the ordinance is that
in future all stop boxes shall be made so
so that they can be readily adjusted TO
meet the level of the sidewalk. That is, in
case the walk sinks the stop-boX shall be
lowered, or in case it is found necessary to
raise the walk the box can be brought up
to the same level. 1t also provides that all
stop-boxes shall be level with the sidewalk,
whether the walk be placed on a temporary
or permanent grade.
The measure makes it the duty of all
persons owning the stop-boxes to keep them
a. all times level with the walks. To regu-
late the placing Of stop-boXes in the future
on sidewalks the ordinance provides that no
box shall be located more than eight inches
from the curb. In many places in the city,
especially in the business streets, the boxes
are located in the middle of the walk.
Many of the brick walks have sunk and the
stop boxes protrude several inches above
the level of the walks, making them
blocks and sources of danger to
the pedestrian. The city has at present two
personal injury damage suits on its hands,
owing to a stop-box on Broadway at Tenth
street being several inches above the level
of the walk.
Both the waterworks and gas company
will be compelled, in order to comply with
the ordinance, to ~readjust a large number
OF these stop or cutoff boxes. The penalty
70" failure to comply with the ordinance is
a fine not exceeding $50.

Tried for Murder of lis Pnrtner.

SIOUX CITY, Feb. 6.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Woodbury county court house was
packed to the doors today at the prelimi-
nary hearing of Oscar A. Goodrich, charged
with the murder, December 20, of John Rob
son, his partner. 1t was the most sensa-
tional case here since the Hardock murder
trial, ten years ago, for If the charges were
found to have foundation the crime was
atrocious because of the lifelong friendship
of the murdered man and the accused.
County Attorney Hallam moved soon af-
ter court convened that the case be dis
missed for lack of sufficient evidence. 1t
was a dramatic moment in the court room
and a long silence followed. Henry Morri-
son, the detective who signed the informa-
ton for the arrest Of Goodrich, one of the
prominent men of the city, showed evident
emotion. Defendants counsel objected to
the motion and the motion was oyerruled
to clear all shadow from Goodrich's name,
The case will go to the grand jury later. Po-
lice officers and others, who found Robson;
a hotel housekeeper, who found Goodrich's
bed undisturbed the night of the murder,
and others testified for the prosecution. The
case has been kept a mystery and the evil
dence proves weak. The hearing will occupy
another day and Goodrich may proceed
against Morrison and others concerned
with him in arrest for civil damages.

remarkable feature Of the affair is that this
