HE IS MUCH DISAPPOINTED
The President Had No End of Ideas
That He Was Anxious
to Voice.

From, The Journal Bureau. Room 10. Posa
Building, WnshissOtos..
Washington, Sept. 25.-President Roose-
welt is constantly talking Of the disap-
pointnlent he feels at having been obliged
to cut short his western tour. At an
informal conference with the cabinet
members now in Washington he Is re-
ported to have said to one Of them:
This is tough luck. L had not said
more than half what I wanted to say to
the people Of the West when this leg
stopped me off. Why, 1 have been think
ing all summer of what I was going to
say on that trip and I had piled up all
kinds of speeches which may never be
delivered now. Besides, do not like the
idea of disa ppointing those cities which
had been kind enough to invite me to
visit them"
Secretary Shaw, after his conference
with the president. did his mite toward
setting at rest the talk started by the
democratic congressional managers that
the republican leaders Of the country were
glad the president had been prevented
from talking further on public questions.
Mr.. Shaw said the republican managers,
so far as he knew, were perfectly satisfied
with the way the presidents utterances
had been received and that it was be-
lieved that he would have helped the re-
publicans greatly in this falls elections
had he been permitted to visit more points
in the middle west. ~ -. .szz

Washington, Sept. 25.-Prominent men
all over the country, in political and other
walks of life, have been contributing lib
orally of late to fund for the education
of Miss Theodate Wake, Of Covington, Ky.
Miss Wakes aesthetic tendencies would
not permit her working her way through
college. .
President Roosevelt, the members Of the
cabinet United States senators and many
members of the house of representatives
received letters from Theodate requesting
their aid.
The postoffice department officials were
somewhat suspicious of Theodate and in
vestigation proved that Miss Wake" was
married and that her husband and family
were reaping the harvest sowed by her
fertile genius Nearly a hundred letters
addressed to Miss Theodate Wake and
each containing SIS are now being held at
the Covington. postoffice and will be re-
turned to the senders. Miss Wake has
been arrested and will be criminally prose-
cuted. Acting Postmaster General Wynne
to-day issued an order denying her the
use of the mails. -.t

TREATMENT OF JEWS
Secretary Hays Note. Now Attract.
ing More Attention.

Paris, Sept. 25.-Secretary Hays note to
the powers on the subject of Roumania' S
treatment of the Jews, Of which slight
notice was at first taken, under the i'm
preston that it would lead to nothing, is
now attra citing more attention in the
French press and in official circles here.
1t is practically certain that the French
government will support movement
among the powers to put pressure on Rou-
mania in favor of better treatment of the
Jews, and it is believed that Germany will
take a similar attitude. While it is thought
the United States will thus be successful
in stirring the powers into seriously con-
siderfng the matter and that remonstran-
ces may be addressed to Roumania, not
much hope is expressed in practical and
permanent effect within Roumania from
such action.
A semi official agency to-day circulated
the following announcements:
The French government had not yet re-
piled to Secretary Hays note While it is
impossible to forecast M. Delcasse's decis-
ion, the impression in diplomatic circles is
that. while recognizing the high motive
which actuated Mr.. Hay. M. Delcasse will
not entirely agree with the views ad-
Vanced in the American note.

MIR. TOWER IS CHOSEN
The Russian Ambassador Is Named
to Succeed Mr.. White
at Berlin.

Berlin, Sept. 25.-President Roosevelt;
has chosen Charlemagne Tower, ambas-
sador to Russia to succeed Mr.. White as
ambassador to Germany. Notifca tions of
this decision and that Mr. Whites letters
of recall had been issued by the state de-
partment have reached the foreign office
here.
The appointment Of Mr.. Tower had been
expected here for several weeks. AS he
was passing through Berlin six weeks age
he gave a hint to one or two Of his friends
that he might be transferred to this court
Mr.. White will probably not have his
farewell audience with the emperor Nov
7th, his birthday, as had been provision
ally arranged. because his majesty leaves
Nov. for England. The retiring ambas-
sador, therefore, is not likely to present
his letters of recall until about the middle
Of November.

He Makes a Statement of What Is
Being Done to Help the Bus
mess Interests.
He Says That All the Rumors Re-
garding Experiments in Finance
Are Unauthorized.
All Interest Maturing Between Oct.
/ and the End of the Year
Will Be Anticipated.

Washington Sept. 25.-Secretary Sha"
to-day gave out the following statement:
Money once covered into the treasury
(and this, Of course includes the subtreas-
uries) cannot thereafter be deposited IN
banks All custom receipts are by law
PAYABLE to the treasury and subtreasuries.
The only fund therefore available in the
banks is the internal revenue and mlscel-
laneous receipts before they have been
actually covered into the treasury. This
amounts to about half Il million per day
and since the stringency arose has been
steadfastly returned to circulation. This
policy will be continued for thirty or sixty
days if needed. and longer if necessary.
In the meantime national bank circu-
lation has been increased about $1,000, 900,
largely induced by the distribution of de-
posits and the further increase to the
amount Of $4,000, 900 is assured
''All rumOrs OF experiments have been
unauthorized by the treasury departm ent.
It Is to be hoped that the public will place
no credence in vagares started by ire
sponsible and entrusted men Of the street.
1t Is also hoped that the country will
understand that the treasury departm ent
to the extent Of it's ability will stand by
the banks, east and west, north and south,
and it is hoped also that the banks will
stand by every business and every interest
that is worth protecting.
THE only way to get money out Of
the treasury into circulation after it has
been actually covered in. is by the pay
ment Of the legal obligations Of the gov
ernment. These may be anticipated
The department did anticipate the Oc-
tober interest 1t now offers to anticipate
all interest maturing between Oct l and
the end Of the fiscal year, if presented
within sixty days. at a rebate Of two
tenths Of l per cent per month, which Is
at the rate of "a per cent per annum. In
other words these obligations will be pre-
ernment to profit thereby at "a per cent
per annum The amount maturing be-
fore June 80. 1908, is, in round figures,
20,650.000 The profit to the govern
ment, If this offer shall be accepted will
be, in round figures, 1920 900.
There will be no experiments tried and
no policy adopted until after mature de-
liberation and no feelers will be sent out
Anything to the contrary should be dis
credited
Regarding the published report that he
had resigned, Secretary Shaw said: -
II denied this rumor; In Chicago. II
would seem unnecessary to repudiate~sa
story that has no author and is built upon
a false assumption and is enlarged upon
simply to fill space. The president and
secretary Of the treasury are in thorough
harmony. On this there need be no doubt
II the speeches made by the president an6
secretary be read and compared instead OF

RIOTOUS STUDENTS
One Of Them in Jail on Charge of
Felony.

Berkeley, Cal, Sept. '25.-As result
Of riotous diversion by students of the
University Of California one of their num-
Der, Winfield Reed of Santa Barbara, Cal,
is in jail with a charge of felony con-
fronting him and others are likely to be
1ncarecrated for equally serious and
minor offenses. The trouble grew out of
the big rally to the football team. About
500 students took possession of local
train, put out the lights, turned on the
handbrakes and demolished the entire fur
nishings. Winfield Reed, was detected in
the act OF putting on the air brake and
was arrested. The students rushed to
his rescue and a desperate fight ensued,
but Reed was finally placed in JAIL The
boys tried to storm the place but were re-
pulsed. The law makes Reeds offense a
felouy. President Wheeler of the univer-
sity said he saw no reason why the law
should not take it's course in Reeds case.
as his offense was serious.
Other arrests will doubtless be made.

was considerable diversity Of opinion
among brokers as to how much the liqui-
dation in the stock market had relieved
the situation.
A disposition was evident in some Wall
street speculative quarters to attempt to
throw blame upon the local banks and
trust companies for the sharp smash in
stock market prices. One story that was
circulated was that after the bank state
ment came out on Saturday last, a meet

amounted to many millions of dollars.
