FORM A FOOL TO LEND MONEY
J. PlERPoNT MORGAN AND SEW
ERAL BANKS WILL PUT UP
$so.ooo,ooo.
MEASURE A PROTECTIVE ONE
MONEY WILL BE LOANED OUT
ONLY IN CASE OF ACTUAL
EMERGENCY.

New York. Dec. II. - A member of
the firm of J. p. Morgan & Co. said
yesterday:
"The financial situation has been Inn
measurably relieved by the recent
liquidation. In Mr.. Morgan's opinion,
and in my opinion, the worst is now
over The situation is much clearer,
and we should from this time on have
an improving market"
This was the dominant tone in Wall
street circles. 1t was shared by many
who believed that the emergency
squeeze in the monetary situation has
now passed the urgent state.
Confidence was completely restored
yesterday by the announcement that
a number of banks in this city and j.
P. Morgan & Co.
Have Formed a Pool
of $4,000, 900 to lend in the money
market in the event of actual emerg-
pool: j. P. Morgan, George F. Baker,
president of the First National bank.
and James Stillman, president of the
National City bank.
Following the precedent established
by the late F.. d. Tappen, who man
aged such pools in similar cases. the
money will be put out lat the market"
in unlimited amounts. In this way the
interest rate will be kept down to the
legal rate, or lower, IL 1t Is considered
necessary. This measur is really a
protective n and 1t Is not apprehend-
ed that any of the money will be actu-
ally needed. 1t will be put out, how
ever,
Should Occasion Arise. +.
The protective measures agreed
upon by the banks had the effect Of
checking a dangerous looking decline
in the stock market, and the market
closed tranquil and rather dull. The
undertone at the last was firm and the
losses of the earlier part of the day
generally were recovered. The state
ment was made that no fears we're
entertained of the present situation,
and that the formation of the prOtec.
tive pool was only a precautionary
measure, and probably no action
would be required on the part of its
members in the way of supplying the
funds to the market. While the knowl-
edge of the steps taken by the ruling
powers In the financial world induced
a feeling Of great relief in all quar-
tiers, the belief was not disguised that
the pool was an emergency measure,
not differing in kind or degree from
those adopted in other periods of crisis
in Wall street.

SHE PREVENTS THE WEDDING
Minneapolis Woman Is Successful in
- Chase - :

- Chase
Rockford, III, Dec. 16. - After a
chase that extended from Minneapolis
to Milwaukee, then to Beloit and lastly
to Rockford, Mrs. Mary Stiple and
daughter of Minneapolis caught up
with Charles M. Stockwell Of Butte,
Mont, and Miss Rose Stiple In time to
prevent their marriage. Stockwell and
Rose Stiple reached Rockford late Sat
urday afternoon, after being on the
road from the latter's home for two
days. In their fight they forgot about
the. True law in Wisconsin, e.ca found
II impossible to be married il Milwau-
kee. The lax laws. Of Illinois tempted
them, and they came to Rockford.
They had hardly reached here when
the pursuing mother and sister ar.
rived. There was q stormy scene in.
the public waiting room of the Rock
ford Street Railway company. Stock
well finally left the quarreling women
and disappeared. Mrs. Stiple then
persuaded her rebellious daughter to
accompany her home, and the reunited
family left on the first train for Min
neapolis.

treat Britain and the United States.

Great Britain and the United St9te0.
In this light many newspapers protest
most strongly, and 1t is asked what
would. happen should Germany try to
defy the Monroe doctrine and obtain .
footing In South America. In short.
all the opposition newspapers, as well
as many of those In sympathy with
the government, contend that the
friendship of the United States Is too
precious to be, risked either for Ger
many or Venezuela. For this reason
great Hopes are entertained that Ven.
ezuela's proposal to arbitrate may. lead
to an amicable settlement of the dif-
ficulty. -
May Call a Halt.
It is believed that orders will or have
been sent to the British commander In
Venezuelan waters to take no further
aggressive action at present, pend
ing a decision being arrived at on the
proposal for arbitration.
This came in the form Of q proposal
through the United States government
to submit the claims of British and
German subjects to arbitration. which
Lord Lansdowne announced later In
the day in the house Of lords, Is "now
under consideration by the British
government"
greatly indebted to the good oficessof
the United States minister at Car
acas."
No Cause for Protest.
Minister Bowen has confirmed the
press reports that the guns OF he al
lied fleet which bombarded Puerto
Cabello were directed entirely at the
Notifications and not at the town. Re-
grettable as it was, this statement re-
lieves the affair of the first suspicion
that it constituted a violation OF In
ternational war, in the fact that TWEEN
ty-four hours notice was not served of
the bombardment. The requirement
as to the notice applies to unfortiied
or fortified towns where the fire must
be directed upon the Inhabitants, and
this wasynot the a S at Puerto Cabel-
10, so that while the officials here re.
greet that the firing took place. they
have as yet no cause to protest.
It IL an Act a. War.
Berlin, Dec. II. - Yesterday 1t be-
came known that the foreign Office
here had received Secretary Hays
communication concerning the Ven.
ezuelan blockade. Its terms were not
disclosed, but 1t was understood to ex-
press the hope that the blockade
would be a peaceful one.
Allusion was made to the sinking OF
the two Venezuelan vessels, and the
note, it is considered here, does not
modify the United States general at
titude of friendly reserve
The precise character Of the block
ade has not yet been notified to the
powers. Great Britain and Germany
have agreed thereon.
The German government yesterday
submitted q draft of the notification of
the blockade to the bundesrath, whose
approval is necessary because of the
blockade being an act of war, and the
%bundesrath must, under the constitu-
ton, stnction it.
