IF REPORTS from Washington be true,
President Roosevelt has come to the
point where he will have to use white
wash in the postal scandal or lose his
Secretary of the Treasury and at the
same time the support of a powerful re-
publican following in Indiana. The
report of Messrs. Charles j. BOnaparte
aud Holmes Conrad, who, at the request
of the President, investigated that part
of the postal scandal covered under the
Tulloch charges, reflects upon Comp
troller of the Treasury Tracewell, and
practically demands his retirement. Sec
rotary of the Treasury Shaw resents the
dragging of the postal scandal into the
Treasury Department, and has fatty
declared that he is satisfied with Trace:
well, and will not have him go. He is
said to have given the President to un-
derstand that he will quit the Cabinet
if Trazewel is retired. This puts the
President in close place If be ig-
nores the report OF Messrs. Bonaparte
and Conrad, his own agents, he will
practically have to throw the whole
postal scandal out of court. If he fol-
lows the recommendation of the report
he will give objectionable ofense not
only to Secretary Shaw, but also to
Comptroller Tracewell's republican fol-
lowing in Indiana. Trazewell, it is said,
has such powerful influence throughout
the State that he could take its support
away from the Administration. The
Presidents position has not been bed
of roses since the public scandals were
started aud the Trazewell matter seems
have placed him between the devil
d the deep sea.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT. 81, 1908.

THE extraordinary revelations con-
corning the Corporation Trust Company
of New Jersey at the hearing of the
United States Shipbuilding scandal
have convinced many leading corpora
ton lawyers that Congress should take
coenizance of the exposures and pass
some general corporation law which
would make impossible the eyasions and
abuses which have been shown to exist.
The Corporation Trust Company of New
jersey, which was shown by the admis-
sions of its own employees to be a sort Of
factory for the manufacture of profess
sional directors to sit on dummy boards
and authorize any kind Of an expendI-
ture ordered by men in the background,
Is q Deculiar institution 1t is a sort OF
a twin having a dual existence. On
one side OF the Hudson river it is the
Corporation Trust Company of New
jersey. On the other side it is the Cor
pbration Trust Company of New York.
There is a remarkable thing connected
with the Jersey City offices. In the hall
way are two immense tablets, which
cover big section of the wall. On these
tablets are printed the names Of about
1900 corporations, whose aggregate cap
ital is greater than all the actual money
in this country or any other. The orig
inal purpose of the Corporation Trust
Company of New Jersey is to furnish
nominal headquarters Office for corpora
lions chartered in that State. Every cor
poration chartered in New Jersey is sup
posed to have its home Office in that State
and to hold certain meetings there.
The Corporation Trust Company OF New
Jersey supplies the home office OF about
1900 corporations. Ninety per cent. OF
the great trusts Of the country have home
offices within the sheltering arms OF the
Corporation Trust Company. The Cor
poration Trust Company takes hold OF
corporations at their start, gives them
life by getting a charter for them, gives
them corporators who attend to the or
ganization, supplies them with directors,
presidents and secretaries by drawing
upon its large staff of boy clerks and sees
that all of the transactions desired by the
men in the background are carried out
and the way smoothed for the appearance
of "big'' men, who subsequently bob up
as the real guiding stars Of the concerns.

THE Richmond News Leader "takes
back" its story recently published about
the growing strength of Senator Martin
throughout the State and says it was
based upon a statement made on a side
walk by Mr.. Walter Harris which re-
ferred only to Giles county where he
said three-fourths of the democratic voters
are for Senator Martin. Well, what is
true in Giles is true in nearly every
county in the State and Senator Martin
will not be injured By the Richmond
newspapers which rarely have a kind
word for him.

AGITATION for a whipping post in
ashington has been renewed. Judge
imball, of the police court, believes
e whipping post should be again set
, in the District of Columbia for the
nishment of husbands who beat and
aim their wives. Speaking on this
biect Judge Kimball said;
ono punishment is too severe for a
an who beats his wife. Some WIFE
eaters, cruel as they are, support their
miles. If they are sent to Jail their
miles are left TO shift for themselves.

nders can be punished without injur-

ase if they would promise to reform,

his return home, and nothing was

le whipping post is the proper punish
tent for the man who assaults his wife.

rm of punishment and l believe the
district can do so.
The opinion of Judge Kimball is

It is one week since Edward L. Wentz,
the young Philadelphia millionaire, dis
appeared from Kelly View Mountains
in Wise county, Virginia, and there is
yet absolutely no tidings of his wherea-
bouts and nothing whatever to account
for his strange disappearance. His
mother il, now at Big Stone Gap. She
cannot believe that her son has been
murdered, and is inclined to the belief
that he was spirited away for ransom.
The Wentz family deny the story that
the missing man disappeared as the re-
suit of love affair, and in which he
encountered parental opposition.

The Baltimore Trust Companies.

Baltimore, Oct. 21.-It is common
talk in financial circles that the Union
Trust Company's closing was entirely
unnecessary. 1t seems to have been a
clear case Of lost nerve. Receiver White
is making an attempt to get things in
shape for an early reopening. The
fright over the Belgidere bonds soon
passed when it was given out that an
insurance company was ready to take
them at par. The crash of Monday,
followed BY the efforts of all fnanciers to
get in readiness for a run, has left these
gentlemen nearly exhausted. Their eff
forts were successful aud it is estimated
that total of four million dollars was
rushed into the city between noon Mon
day and opening hours this morning.
Two meetings have been held by the
clearing house executive committee, and
arrangements made with the subtreasury
for the shipments of 81, $50, 900 from
New York. Allan McLane, receiver of
the Maryland Trust Company says the
Maryland had in the Vera Cruz and
Pacific Railway about six million dollars.

THE BALTIMORE TRUST COMPANIES

The BALTIMORE TRUST COMPANIES
The financial situation in Baltimore, tits
said wa, considerably improved yester-
day and better tone prevailed. Some
four or five millions we're received from
out of town in anticipation of runs, but
the precautions taken to avert danger
were found unnecessary. An inquiry in
to Union trust Company affairs tends
to show that receivership need not have
been applied for. Not less than II bills
for co-rtceivers were filed against the
two companies. The city took action
looking to the safety of the deposit of
$500, 00) with the Maryland Company.
Suit was filed to establish the double
liability of stockholders and to remove
the Union Trust Company as trustee UNI
der the mortgage of the Airing Brooke
Real Estate Company. 1t is said that
the Union Trust Company will probably
resume business shortly, and that the
depositors of the Maryland Trust Com
pany will undoubtedly be paid in full
and the stockholders will lose little, if
anything. The expected heavy run on
trust companies and banks failed to
materialize.

PAID FOR HIS WIFE.-Count Won
Larisch Moennich, an Austrian noble
man, in testifying in Berlin, yesterday
against the syndicate of money lenders,
who are accused Of attempting extortion,
said that Immediately after his wedding
at Buffalo with Miss Mary Satterfeld, Of
Titusville, Pa, in June, 1901, New
York bank sent him draft for $780,
900, forwarded by the syndicate which
he refused to pay. This, the count con-
tinued, was the beginning of persecution
by the money leaders group, which was
composed of four merchants and six
mortgage AGENTS. This draft was based
on one of the several notes which the
count signed in 1900, aggregating
$3.50, 900 payable on the condition that
he married one of the three young Coun-
tesses Won Faber, of Nuremberg (daugh-
ter of Baron Won Faber, the famous PEN
Gil manufactured, each reputed TO have
a dowry Ct $40, 600, 900.

CHURCH DEDICATED.

Some time since, the military authori-
ties informed Father Fellon, pastor Of
the quaint little wooden church of Oul
Lady. Star of the Sea, which had been
erected in 1860, by permission, on the
reservation at Fortress Monroe, that
it would be in the way of the inn
provements now being made and
offered rather more convenient
location for a new one. Steps were
Immediately taken for the erection
of handsome edifce of rough granite,
with two fine towers in front and roof
with slate, the cornerstone of which was
laid by Bishop Van De Vyyer on the
14th Of April last. Last Sunday it was
solemnly blessed and dedicated to the
worship of God, in the presence of a
very large congregation. A procession,
headed by the crossbearer aanked by
two acolytes bearing tall candles, the
altar boys of the church and those from
the chapel of Old Point Comfort Col
lege, the director of the professors of
which followed them, and ten priests
preceding or accompanying the Bishop,
proceeded slowly around the outside of
the building chanting the MisArere,
while he sprinked the outer walls with
holy water, and then returning to the
interior, on the threshold of which he
stopped to say prayer that God would
preserve and sanctify the church, went
up to the sanctuary, where the Litany
of Saints was chanted and the blessing
of God invoked upon all who came here
after to pray there. Then the 10th,
l20th, and 121st Psalms were chanted as
the procession slowly moved round the
interior walls which the Bishop also
sprinkled, and the altar was blessed
with solemn prayers. Then solemn
mass was celebrated by Rev. John +
Belford, Rector of St. Peters and St.
PauPs Churches, Brooklyn, assisted by
Reys. Martin B. Size, of st. Joseph
Church, Norfolk, and f. Joseph Magri,
of the Cathedral, Richmond, as dea-
con and sub-deacon Rev. VIM. j.
Ennis, S. j., of st. Francis XAVIER,
New York, acting as master of cere-
monies. After the Gospel, Bishop Van
De Vyyer preached very able and in
structiye sermon on the establishment and
growth Of the Christian religion and the
dangers which at present threaten it;
dwelling chiefly on its Punishment from
education, and on divorce, both Of
which, he said, heralded a revival of
paganism. The music of the Mass was
furnished by choir made up from
Washington churches and was greatly
admired. Besides the priests mentioned
above, there we're present Fathers
Henry ]. Cutler, Of Alexandria, and
Maurice J. Fitz Gerald, of Jamaica
Plains, L. l., who attended the Bishop,
and William A Fallon, pastor of the
new church, John P. G. York, of Hunt
ington, L. l., Julius Pohl, o. S. B.,
President of the Industrial School at
Bristow, and Richard l.. Carne, chap
lain of o. P. G. College.
