WALL STREET HAS A FURRY
Pressure 20 Sell stocks So Great that
Most violent slump Is
the Result.

NEW YORK. Sept. 24.-The unexpected
news that President Roosevelt was com
PEELED to abandon his trip and submit to
surgical treatment proved an additional
burden upon the stock market this morning.
Opening prices showed threatening breaks
of from l to 3 points in the important lead
ing stocks. First prices proved to be the
lowest for the time being and vigorous sup
port by large financial interests succeeded
in rallying the market TO or above last
nights level by IL o'clock, The reassuring
bulletins of the presidents condition helped
the rally.
1t was at that time that loans began to
be made and the fact was disclosed that the
banks were continuing their policy OF call
ing loans. The result was another violent
slump, which carried prices lower than be-
fore, losses extending UP to 5 points in
some OF the leading stocks. Missouri Pa
chc's loss was Az. st. PAul's ~ and Louis
villes 5. while the list Of 3-point losses or
over was considerable. The call money rate
scared above 20 per cent. The pressure to
sell became very urgent and the large spec
ulative combinations, which have persist
emily held up prices for several weeks past,
unloaded very large holdings and aban-
doned all attempt to sustain the market.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-while secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw has made nc
announcement of his intention to employ
means further to remove the stringency
in the money market 1t is known he has
under consideration the advisability OF In
creasing the amounts of government funds
on deposit at national bank repositories
| to the full market value OF the bonds or
deposit with the government.
At present government funds to the
amount of the par value OF the bonds or
deposit are placed in the banks. II tho
proposed scheme should be adopted by
Secretary Shaw 1t would increase mater.
tally the amounts of public money on de-
posit with the banks, thus relieving the
| stringency by the increased amount.
Of1cials Of the Treasury department
however, disclaim definite knowledge o
the secretary's intention. It is expected
! that Mr.. Shaw will be In Washington to.
morrow.
1t was stated at the Treasury depart.
ment today that there is nothing in thu
report that Secretary Shaw proposed tC
allow national banks to issue circulating
notes beyond the par value of bonds de-
posted as security. Such action woult
| constitute a plain violation Of the law
Up &c March Il, 1900, It was said, nationa
banks could issue only 30 per cent of tn,
par value OF their bonds, but the act o.
that date permitted such issue up to thel
par value when deposited as security.

TO CONTEST STRATT0N WILL
SON of Colorado Millionaire Decides
10 Not Abide by Provisions
of the Document.

DENVER, Sept. PA. Harry Stratton Of
Pasadena, Cal, after conference today
in this city between his attorney, Judge
A. T. Gunnell Of Colorado Springs and VOL
colt Vale, decided to contest the will OF
his father, Winfield S. Stratton, which left
the bulk OF his estate, estimated to bo
worth from $4,000. 900 to 100000, for
the establishment of a home for poor sick
people at Colorado Springs.
Under the provisions Of the will, young
Mr.. Stratton forfeits the $50 900 which his
father bequeathed TO him by making a con-
test.
when the application for probate is made
at Colorado Springs on October the con-
test will be Instituted. II is understood
that aside from the allegations that the
will is void on the ground of public policy,
and its visionary provisions. It will also be
averred that w, S. stratton was mentally
incompetent to dispose Of his property.
1t is said that Wolcott Vale will re-
ceive 81, 900, 900 as their fee II they succeed
in breaking the will.
Judge A. T. Gunnell young Mr.. Stratton' S
attorney, made the following statement for
publication today:
1--WE have practically decided to make the
contest. But Mr.. Stratton will not seek
to disturb any bequest, except that provid-
ing for the Myron Stratton home. He will
make the contest at the risk Of losing the
$4,000, to which he is entitled to under
the will. No one has assured him that II
he makes the contest he will not lose the
money.
"Mr. Stratton feels hurt by the provi-
sion in the will which gives all his father g
diamonds, books and various other per-
sonal effects to a nephew. He interprets
that as a reflection upon him. That por-
tion Of the will grieved young stratton very
much, and we think that It shows conclu-
sively that there was dlsinclination on the
part OF the late Mr.. Strattnn to do Justice

HEARING WICHITA COMPLAINT
Interstate Commerce Commissioners
Take Up Matter of Rates Discrim-
NATIVE Against Kansas Town.

WICHITA, Kan, Sept. a4--The Inter-
state Commerce commission is in session
here today, Chairman Martin A. Knapp
C. A. Prouty, Joseph w. FSfer and James
d. Tolman being present. The commits
sioners are hearing testimony in the case
known as the export grain case in which
Wichita maintains that the railroads dis
criminste on gulf rates in favor of Kansas
City against Wichita.
The commissioners expected to complete
the hearing today, but they became so much
interested in the subject of the complaints
that they have announced that they will
continue the hearing three days.
Expert testimony was introduced show
ing that three-quarters OF the wheat OF
Kansas is grown within a radius OF 100
miles of Wichita. Wheat pays a rate of
2sh cents to Galveston from Wichita.
while Kansas City sends wheat through
Wichita to Galveston on a 15-cent rate.
1t was testified that Nortonville. north of
Wichita, shipped wheat to Kansas City and
thence to Galveston via Wichita at a rate
cents less than the Wichita rate. Secre-
tary Herser of the Wichita Board OF Trade
testified that he had positive knowledge
that Kansas City grain men received rates
| to Galveston at even less than the published
tariff.
Superintendent Biddle Of the traffc de-
partment OF the Santa Fe testified that
Wichita was a better natural market than
Kansas City, but eastern roads terminal
ing at Kansas City insisted on making that
the grain center, so that they could COM
pete for the grain trade Of Kansas. He
thought that the roads going south from
Kansas City. such as the Pittsburg Gulf
were partly responsible for the low Kan
sas City rate, since, being heavy hauler'
OF lumber, they could carry wheat south
ward cheaper than roads that could moi
| have their cars filled both wave.

DEADLOCK OVER TARIFF BILL
German Government Declines 60 Ac-
sept Amendment.' of
ReichstaE.

BERLIN, Sept. 24.-The government and
the Reichstag majority have reached a
deadlock on the tariff. The imperial sec
retary OF state for the interior, Count
Posadowski- wehner, enunciated to the
Reichstag 70 N committee today more
sharply the n, before the governments
determinatiC - accept the bill as
amended at tn I,sding and the COM
mittee Immediate. m the meat and
animal duties to the 7te as at the
first reading, to which = Posadow-
ski -Wehner had particula, led.
Herr Herold, the centrist 1e. aimed
that without these duties the entrists
would not support the bill and one by one
the centrists, and portions of the national
liberals, sustained Herr Herold's position.
Count Posadowski- wehner made a conf
Dental statement, representing the govern
ment's reason for rejecting the minimum
| scale OF duties on animals and meats.
| These reasons are understood to be in
| connection with the negotiation of the new
commercial treaties. Upon a member in
| Quiring how much the communication was
confidential the secretary replied that the
! government wanted to know openly that all
the federated states were opposed to the
animal schedule as amended. He also
dwelt on the Importance Of continuing the
commercial treaty policy
Count Won Kanitz, one OF the agrarian
leaders, here interjected that the tariff
bill "is the main thing in making treaties,
but secondary 80 far as the agricultural
classes are concerned, for they have no
interest whatever in treaties like those
now existing"
The conservative papers adopt a pessi-
mistic tone regarding the bills prospects.
The Kreuze Zeitung says the outlook could
not be more gloomy.
The town council of Frankfort-on-th the
Main has adopted a resolution asking the
Reichstag to revoke the prohibition against
the importation OF American canned meats
| and sausages.
