Administrations Warning on
Over Speculation
PROTECT THE PUBLIC
Crash in Wall Street Would Affect
Legitimate Business.
sTRINGENCY IN MONEY MARKET
Secretary Gage Is Anticipating That

Bonds.
NEW York Sun sseolas se-vros

Washington, May 4.-Since the presi-
dent himself has begun to warn the peo-
pie against the danger of overspeculation,
many treasury officials, who hitherto have
been keeping quiet, are now talking al
most openly. They are not bears on the
situation generally, and were far from
pleased at the sensational decline in the
stock list yesterday. All they want is
that the general public should not be
caught in trap.
The best friends Of the administration
are anxious because they believe there
is an inevitable crash coming in Wall
street. They don't care particularly
about the gains or losses Of mere specu-
lators, but they do know that a crash
in Wall street means a sudden and ex-
traordinary stringency in the money mar
ket. This, it is feared, naturally will re-
suit disastrously to legitimate commercial
enterprises.
President McKinIey's administration has
been marked by business prosperity to an
extent which even the widest spellbind-
ers in the campaign of 1896 did not dare
predict. The president and his close
friends are naturally extremely anxious
that the splendid record of his admins
tration should not be spoiled by a tenn
porary relapse toward the financial con-

BUYING BONDS
Secretary Gage Is Anticipating
Tighter Money.


Secretary Gage Is Anticipating
Tighter Money.
Vss0 York Ssr Special SsvrEoG
Washington, May 4.-Secretary Gage is
going ahead, quietly buying bonds for the
account of the sinking fund, whenever Of
fers are made to the government at what
ne considers a reasonable price, which is
not far from 11S15. The purchases thus
far have amounted to 81, ,11O, $50. All this
money has gone out of the treasury into
the open market, but it has been in small
lots. For instance, the purchases closed
yesterday we're for $50, 900 at 113.6123, and
$4,000 at 113.615O.
The curious thing is that the bankers
don't seem to have walked up to the situa-
tion. They can sell proftably their
per cent bonds to the treasury at the
figures quoted, buy per cent bonds at the
market quotation, use them as basis ot
circulation and make money by the trans
action.
Under the new law the bank saves one
half of 1 per cent a year of the tax on
circulation when the new per cent bonds
are used. 1t is about an even thing tc
exchange the As at 11212, for the rs at 1864
The saving of the tax on bonds deposited
to secure circulation amounts to about
$500 on each 100000. About $25, ,O00, 600 il
the per cent bonds are now used as a
basis for circulation. The full tax rate
must be paid on them. They are owned
by the banks, and they could be sold tc
the treasury at the current rate, thus per-
hitting the purchase of per cent bonds
at the market price, with a consequent
saving to the bankers of the country OIL
their tax on circulation of over $125, ,00(
every year.
The advantages of selling bonds to the
treasury may become more apparent later
when money gets a little tighter. There
is already deposited in the national banks
to the credit of the treasurer of the
United States, 800, ,OO0,O in round mum
bers This can be increased considerably
OF course, but possibly not without some
criticism of the secretary. At the rate
speculation has been going in Wall stree
1t will be utterly impossible for the
treasury under the law to do anything like
meeting the demand for money which Il
certain to ensue in the case Of a rapid
slump in prices in Wall street.

gradual stages. At noon he talked with
his daughter, seeming to speak with more
ease than atany time since the accident.
The physicians and family have hopes
of his recovery, though his condition is
still critical.
Drs. McDavitt and McGaughey, the at
tending physicians, gave out this state
ment at 10 o'clock:
Mr.. Morey is much better this morning.
He rested well last night. This morning he

and they say that the president himself
will devote considerable time to this sub
ject in all his speeches during the COM
ing month.
The presidents influence and that of his
administration will be turned, not so
much ito stopping speculation in Wall
street, for no one can do that, but rather
to warn legitimate business men to trim
their sails so they may not be caught in
the storm which financial experts general
ly are now predicting will come upon the
country before the snow flies, and quite
possibly before the first frost.

still in comatose state most of the time.
He suffers less, and there is less paralysis.
The right side was entirely paralyzed yes
terday, indicating internal bleeding at the
base of the brain. The gradual spreading of
the paralysis was an alarming symptom. He
is able to move the right arm some this
morning, which would indicate that the
blood clot is being absorbed by the system.
No medicine is being administered. He was
given some beef broth this morning to keep
up his strength.
There will be no operation. The ply
sicians do not believe there is any dis
location or spinal injury. He is in ex-
ceedingly serious condition, however, and
if he RECEIVERS, will not be able to re-
sumo business for a long time. Mrs
Morey and the two children, Charles S.
Morey and Miss Jeanette Morey, are
with him continually, but are not allowed
to talk with him, and no other visitors
are allowed.
The other two members of the board
constitute a quorum, and will be able to
carry on the business of the board in
Mr.. Morey's absence.

Prisoners Marched Away.
Before the fire reached the county jail
Sheriff Price assembled all his prisoners,
thirty-fve in number, and summoning his
deputies and guards, marched the men to
Riverside. They were kept under guard
all night and this morning they were re-

Say the Administration Got One Third
the income From the Nickel
Gambling Machines.
Agents Had Monopoly for a Ger
tain Kind of Machine and Col
Iected the Money.

One third of the income from the slot
machines operated by ninety-seven Min
neapolis saloonkee2ers was set aside for

That is the substance Of the statements
made in Judge MeGee's courtroom this
morning by Thomas Lyons, Gideon E.

This was the day appointed for the SEN
fencing Of the saloonkeepers who had
pleaded guilty to having in their places
nickel-in- the-slot gambling machines.
They were on hand to pay their fines.
Sensational Charges.
This sensational charge was made with
eircumstantial minuteness, and, accord
ing to the saloon keepers who made the
disclosures, the agents were Fred Briggs,
Frank Ntmocks and man named Peter
son. who. it was made to appear, had
arranged matters with some one con-
nected with the administration, and as
one saloon man put it, one-third Of the
money had to go to the lice man. in or

the police.
At the conclusion of the lengthy hear
ing Judge McGee imposed a fine Of $50
and costs. or sixty days in the work
house, and the accused given until Mon
day to pay, but in most instances the
money was forthcoming at once. Bench
warrants were issued for several who did
not appear.
Judge Is Suspicious.
"I have heard that these machines were
put in the saloons in a manner that prac-
tically amounted to compulsion, and if any
state of affairs like this existed, now is
the time to tell it," remarked Judge Nc
Gee to Edward Fahey, one of the ninety
seven saloonkeepers who were arraigned
under indictments charging them with
operating nickel-in- the5s slot gambling de-
vices.
Judge MeGee also stated that he had
heard that immunity from prosecution had
been promised, and he called upon the
saloonkeepers as they were arraigned, to
explain the circumstances under which the
machines were put in.
Fahey's Account.
''It was this way. your honor ex-
planned Mr.. Fahey. Fired Briggs and an
other man called at my place and told me
that if 1 would put in a machine they
would see that there was no trouble, and
they assured me that I ran no risk I let
them put in the machine and we divided
the profits"
Thomas Lyons Story.
The first real sensation of the day came
a little later on, and when Thomas Lyons,
a Fourth street saloon keeper, was asked
as to what arrangements he had made, if
any, concerning the machines, he replied
that he had an understanding with Briggs
and Peterson. He said:

Department officials say that the Chero-

which the Dawes commission has been
negotiating. They also say that, while
the Cherokees are the most enlightened

there is the possibility that a new teraty

penalty, which might be a 5000 tne, OF
six months in the workhouse, he SAID ne
was not impressed with the conviction
that a severe sentence should be imposed
for a first offense, but he gave warning
that if the offense is repeated ne Will

Clark then stated that he had employed
man named Caffery to look after his
machines and the latter told him that
Blodgett had said that there was not much
in the machines as one-third had to go
to the newspapers and the authorities.
He also made the startling statement
that Briggs had said that if he did not
come to time with the machines he would
close the saloons where they were located
at midnight and on Sundays.
Rogers story.
''Tooze' Rogers, who was indicted on
seven counts, and paid five fines, told the
court that he had been guaranteed pro-
lection by Briggs, who told him he need
not have fear of any interference, as he
had fixed" things with the authorities
and the newspapers. Rogers said it was
his understanding that the latter were to
receive one-third of the receipts.
So far as the newspapers are concerned,
1t must be apparent to everyone that this
was only an excuse on the part of Briggs

ord, did not suppress the fact that these
gambling devices were being installed
but called attention to the fact repeated
ly that they were becoming more numeT-
Gus and consequently more harmful than
ever D0tOTe.
All Pleaded Guilty.
The indicted saloon keepers were ar
raigned separately, and it was long past
noon when the last man had entered his
plea. All pleaded guilty.
Only few were represented by attor-
neys, Lars Rand and Victor E. Welch
being the most conspicuous, and as Judge
McGee took matters into his own hands,
there was little to do.
Machines Forced on Them.
In a large number of cases the saloon
keepers told the court that while they
| objected to the machines they were al
most forced to operate them, and in al
most every case the accused had been
informed that there was not the slightest
danger Of any interference.
AS may be imagined, not a few funny
happenings occurred in the course of the
rigid examinations made by Judge Nc
Gee.

Judge MCGEE questioned him closely,
and it was brought out that he had placed
several machines around town, and that
he had encountered great opposition from
the Briggs syndicate During the recess,
clark sought voluntarily an interview
with Judge MCGEE, and what took place
in the latter's chambers was brought cut
later.
After the recess, Clark was summoned
before the court and he said that he had

Phillips, who told him that everything had
been ''fxed," and he was afterwards seen
by Blodgett, agent for the Marshfield Nov

would have to do business with Briggs,
