MIR. LITTLEFIFLD's VIEWS.
Maine Representative Surprised at
Speaker Henderson's Action.

A dispatch from Boston yesterday says:
Representative Charles f. Lttlefeld of
Maine, when he learned today that Speaker
Henderson had announced that he would
not be a candidate for Congress from the
third Iowa district, expressed great sur
prise and intimated that he would accept
the speakership If it were offered to him.
1T is hard for me to believe it, he said
because 1 had not the slightest hint that
anything of the kind was contemplated by
Mr.. Henderson. If anything was considered
as settled by the republicans of Congress
il that he would be reelected to pre-
side over another republican Congress with
out even hint at a contest for the honor"
Suppose you were assured that there
was a party demand that you be a candi-
date for the speakership?" was suggested.
II never vet heard of a man in Congress
who would be unwilling to comply with
practically unanimous demand from his
party in such a case" was the reply
Asked as to his opinion of Speaker Hen

dustrial corporations, regardless of any
thing else involved, then Mr.. Henderson did
right to prefer to follow the dictates of his
conscience and his own views of right and
wrong.
Il do not pretend to say that I have
solved all the problems of the great trust
question. l can only say what my own
conclusions are after having studied the
question to the best of my ability. That
the trusts are daughters of the protective
tariff as some democratic orators have
claimed, is to my mind rather absurd
proposition in view of the fact that they
are found in the country of free trade

Pail Mall Gazette Favors Making Fas
Time

LONDON September 1S.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon voices the general
feeling of Great Britain in sounding note
of warning in connection with what it terms
the senseless prejudice against and per
secution' of motorists. 1t says:
Great energy and enterprise are concen
trated in France, the United States ard
Great Britain in the invention of new ma
chinery for rapid travel and it is absurd
to permit fanatical, unreasoning opposition
to strangle or seriously hamper the big, in
dustrial development"
The paper also declares that speed is no
test of danger, a slow machine in ur
skilled hands is the most dangerous, and
it maintains that thirty miles an hour by
a skilled driver is a reasonable standard.

Perilous Experience.

CHICAGO, September 1S.-Suspended only
by his hands, McNaughton Wright, prom
inent member of the board of trade, hung
between life and death for twenty minutes
yesterday at the top of a grain chute in
the Rock Island elevator. When rescued

of releasing his hold, which would have
meant a fall of 100 feet to the hard floor
of an empty bin and most certain death.
He had entered the elevator to inspect
some wheat Making misstep he fell
into the chute, but succeeded in clutching
the edge and hanging by his hands. Mr..
Wright's calls for help were finally heard
by an employe, who pulled him out.

Chicago Banks Easily ACCOMMODATE
Their Customers This Year.
CHICAGO, September 1S.-Chicago banks
are shipping from 81 10000 to 81 600 600 daily
to the country banks of the north and
northwest and south and southwest sections
of the country to meet the demand of the
farmers for actual currency to pay the ex-
penses of harvesting and marketing the
grain crop.
The movement is in excess of last years
shipments. although the harvesting season
is far from being over. 1t is estimated that
over $s7OO0,000 will have been supplied by
Chicago banks to the farmers Of the Mis-
sissippi valley before the crops are all put
away for the season.
This large amount of money is not con-
sidered an indication of abnormal condi
tions by local bankers who have kept close
~ in touch with the situation. Some Of
them stated that for the first time in four
or five years the banks of this city were
able to meet the demand for currency
which is inevitable at this season without
experiencing any trouble.
