THEY DEMUR
Minnesota Congressman May
Not Support Philippine
Tariff Bill.

From The journal Bureau, Room A5, Post
building, Washington.
Washington, Dec 13.-There is some un-
certainty among the members of the Min
nesota delegation as to how many of them
will support the ways and means commit
tee bill fixing the Philippine tariff. The
fact that there was uncertainty came out
quite accidentally during the lunch hour
to-day. Tawney, Heatwole, Eddy, Stew
ems and Fletcher were dining Tim Brynes
in the House restaurant. Tawney, who is
for the ways and means MILL must go to
st. Louis next week to deliver an address
at the breaking Of ground for the exposi-
tion and he is anxious before going to get
a pair. He mentioned this fact at lunch,
when both Heatwole and Stevens offered
to pair with him.
This offer was made. in semi-serious
way, but subsequent discussion brought
out the fact that Stevens, who opposes
reciprocity with Cuba, does not under
stand why the ways and means bill dis
criminated against the Philippines and in
favor of Cuba in the sugar and tobacco
schedules. He says the bill will have to
be explained very carefully to him before
he will feel like supporting it. Heatwole
says there must be some explanations be-
fore he can support it. Eddy and Tawney
were the only two at dinner to-day who
said openly they were for the bill Fletch-
er says he has not read it and is notready
to give an opinion.

Financial Magnate Saves the
Stock Market.
AVERTS A BIG CRASH
At the Same Time He Aids an EN-
barrassed Friend.
WIDELY KNOWN FIRM INVOLVED
Mr.. Morgan Secures August Bel
mOnt's Assistance In Tiding
over u Crisis.


New York, Dec. 13.-Always a man of
decision and prompt action, it took J..
Pierpont Morgan only few hours to get
together $1,50O,OOO in ready cash when he
knew 1t was needed by an old friend, who
without 1t would be brought face to face
with business ruin.
Not only did Mr.. Morgan prove he was
a friend indeed, but his course probably
saved the financial world from serious
disturbance. This concern is one which
is interested largely in the promotion Of
Industrial enterprises, and is known all
over the world The head of the firm has
long been intimate with Mr.. Morgan. In
the money center many rumors concern
ing this man were heard on Saturday.
1t was said he had rot realized on large
transaction as speedily as he had ex-
pected and that he had been caught short
of ready cash With these rumors came
an uneasy feeling in the market and a
falling off in prices.
After trying to obtain large loans here
and there, only to be unsuccessful, the
distracted man bethOught himself of his
friend Mr. Morgan. To his Office he went
too late for Mr.. Morgan to get the money,
but he told his visitor to return Monday
morning.
Belmont Helps.
With the opening OF the market that
day there was a further slump, and the
report of the firms difficulty was on
every tongue. But at this time the head
of the embarrassed firm was with Mr..
Morgan That able fnancier was actu-
lated by a double motive. He wished to
do all in his power to save his friend and
he wanted to avert the disaster which
might come to others in the wake Of the
firms suspension. But so large was the
sum needed that he himself could not
place his hand on it in time to prevent
the impending crash.
Then it was that he decided to call upon
August Belmont. The three men were in
consultation fifteen minutes and then a
sum of ready money-variously estimated
at from S1,O0O,OOO to 81, 0,0OO-was
turned over to the head of the embar-
rassed house. Soon after word went all
over the street that the firms difficulty
had been adjustedl Thea proof was forth
coming that MANI 81 it &Nrgef> obligations
had been met, and The effect was noted at
once on the market, which took an upward
course.
]. Pierpont Morgan had proved true to
a friend and had saved the market again.

What Antitrust Men Say
They Can Prove.
NOR. SECURITIES co.
Alleged Proof Grouped Under Five
Heads.
FAILURE IN DUTY is CHARGED
Holding Up of the Attorney
Generals NOm1n t1On.



New York, Dec. ia special to the
World from Washington says: When the
American Antitrust league presents to
the senate judiciary committee its evil
dence against Attorney General Knox,
whom it accuses OF favoritism to trusts,
the proof will be grouped under five gen
eral heads as follows: The Standard Oil
company, the railway combine and the
Northern Securities company, the United
States Steel corporation, the armor plate
trust and the anthracite coal trust.
Evidence will be presented intended to
an illegal trust. The contention will be
made that these proofs Of illegality are
conclusive and that the attorney general
should have acted upon them; and it will
be alleged that, inasmuch as he did not
act upon them, it is evident he does not
cry Of the government against the trusts
involved, because, as it will be alleged,
of his former association with the Carne
gle Steel company and with the men who
promoted the organizations. The league
officials contend that they will show con-
clusively that every allegation made in
the petition submitted to Mr.. Knox in Au-
gust was based upon fact.
1t is underst ood that President Roose-
velt is angry at the unprecedented hold
ing up Of Mr.. KnOX's name in the senate
and that one of the objects of his wrath
Is the venerable Senator Hoar chairman
of the judiciary committee, who, on the
presentation of the charges of the anti
trust league, decided that the committee
would not call up Mr.. Knox's name for
confirmation until the evidence bearing
upon those charges had been submitted to
the committee and passed upon.

THE INJUNCTION
Why Spectators Seek to
Prevent Retirement of
Mp. Preferred.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Dec. 13.-The Hartman syn
dicate, prior to its enormous purchases
of Northern Pacific preferred, through
which it obtained control of the Northern
Pacific stock, obtained eminent legal opin-
ion that the preferred stock could be re-
tired, not by the action of the directors,
but by the action of the stockholders
themselves, including the preferred stock
holders.
The fact that the Hartman people were
able to make arrangements satisfactory to
themselves with J. P. Morgan & Co.
whereby they were willing to surrender
to prevent the retirement of preferred
stock, does not, it is argued change the
legal situation. Any agreement they made
not to press the point of the legality of
retirement bound themselves only, but
could bind no other preferred stockholder
who thought his interests were being
jeopardized by the retirement of his prop
erty. Consequently, if a bona flde stock
holder has brought suit for an injunction
to prevent retirement he may cause the
Northern Securities people a great deal
OF trouble.
1t has been known for some time that
coterie of stock market operators who
bought Northern Pacific preferred at con-
siderably above par had been seeking for
a shareholder of long standing who would
agree to appear in such action, but that
none had been found. The spectators in
question were not bona f1de shareholders,
although they had purchased stock and
were seeking to hold up the deal with the
idea of getting back some of the money
which had been lost representing the diff
ference between the price paid in the
market and the offer of par in cash which
has been made for the retirement of the
stock

OLEO TAX
It Causes a Very Ugly Com

Senate.


Washington, Dec. 1S.-One of the ugli-
est committee fights that has developed in
the senate concerns the personnel of the
committee on agriculture. Senator Proc
tor, as chairman of that committee, is
seeking to fill the two additional repub-
lican places created by the republican
steering committee by the appointment
of senators who will declare in advance
that they are opposed to oleomargarin.
He is also trying to pick out a democrat
to succeed Senator Allen of Nebraska who
will vote for the Grout bill. He ap-
preached Harris Of Kansas to-day and
asked him if he favored the Grout bill.
Senator Harris replied that he did not.
Whereupon Senator Proctor assured him
that he would not be appointed member
of the committee on agriculture.

TO this the short lines demur But why?
For some years it has been the practice
to allow a differential to the slow lines
between Chicago and New York and the
short lines have not been ruined thereby.
There are plenty of persons who wish to
travel by the quickest line and who would
not go over longer road to save dol

Grand Rapids, Mimi, Dec. 13-The jury

1t was manslaughter in the first degree.

unexpected by those who had noted the
length of time the jury remained in de-

1t is understood the failure of the de-
fendant to explain why he returned to the
hotel with his gun after being ordered
out by Sullivan, is responsible for the
verdict. Senator Baldwin, the defend
ants counsel, asked for a stay as soon
as the jury had been polled. Sentence
