He is Ready to Grant an Extension n
Partial Payment Is Made.
Special to The Journal
Philadelphia, Oct 1.-Speyer & co. have
agreed to accept a. partial payment on
their s5,050, 900 loan to the Consolidated
Lake Superior company and if it can be
made by Oct. s, accompanied by satis-
factory proof that the entire debt with in
terest can be settled the firm will grant
an extension of one and perhaps two
months to the Miller protective committee
and the board of directors of the corpor-
alton who are working together in an ef-
fort to save the concern from total COL
lapse.
This information was impaired yester-
Co., and was accompanied by the addi-
tional statement that only circumstances
now unforeseen will change the attitude
of leniency toward the company by New
York bankers.
There is still a feeling in financial cir
cles that in attempting to raise the money
needed the directors and the Miller COM
mittee have an extremely difficult task
ahead Of them. But the committee and
directors are very hopeful. The first pay
ment is to be $1,000, 900. Accompanying
it must come satisfactory assurances that
the remainder of the money with interest
can be raised under the reorganization
plan. 1t is certain that If the loan cannot
be paid in the time specified Speyer &.
Co. will foreclose.

SALE POSTPONED
Consolidated Company Given Another Week
to Raise Funds,

New York, Oct. 1.-The sale at auction
of the property Of the Consolidated Lake
Superior company, which set for to-
day, has been postponed until Oct 8, as
the result Of an understanding reached
between counsel representing respectively
the committee Of Philadelphia stockhold-
ers and Speyer & CO.
In the meantime the promoters Of the
company will continue their efforts to
arrange a reorganization plan that will
raise the money to save the property.
Charles H. Tweed Of Speyer & CO. said
to-day: ,
Il don't know whether the postponement
will result in anything or not, but at all
events we have given them this extra
time and they seem to feel that the ex-
tension will be- sufficient to enable them
to secure the necessary funds. ;, IS 3 3 SIS, 3
Regarding the question whether Speyer
& Co. should advance the wages Of the
men employed by the. Consolidated Lake
Superior company, Mr.. Tweed said that
was a matter that should have been con-
sidered by the management and was not
a matter for a creditor to attend to.
In fact, the bankers were much sur
prised when they learned that the COM
pany had suspended operations without
having made provision for paying the
men.

REDS HOLD MEETING
Gust a Congregation of Jews from
Cooper Union and Denounce
Everything.

New York, Dot. 1.-Three thousand
men, women and children, mostly Of the
Jewish race, crowded into Cooper Union
in the expectation of celebrating Yom
Kippur, experienced a sad surprise.
It happened that the hall had been en-
gagged by the Free Society, an organiza-
tion composed exclusively of anarchists,
and instead Of religious services in COM
memoration Of the destruction of the tenn
pie of Jerusalem, the name Of God was
profaned and holy days were denounced
by the speakers, who ridiculed Jewish
customs and beliefs. A scramble for the
doors followed. =
Many loud protests were uttered and the
police, who were on hand in numbers,
were called upon to stop the proceedings.
They had no instructions on this point,
however, and the Jews rushed out In a
body, denouncing the anarchists as they
went
It Is said the nature Of the meeting was
not understood when the hall was rented
by the committee in charge. It was the
first gathering Of the kind here in ten
years.

Authorities in Combating Vel
low Fever Epidemic.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 1.-The United
States and Texas health authorities are
meeting with many difficulties in en-
forcing sanitary relugations at Laredo,
Texas, where yellow fever is epidemic.
The report has been spread among the lg-
snorant Mexican population. numbering
several thousand, that the American ply
5sicians are trying to kill them by poison
and other methods. The health officers
are opposed at every step by the ignorant
classes.
Yellow fever victims are secreted by the
Mexicans to, avoid the American doctors.
On account Of this opposition, the epi-
denic is spreading rapidly in Laredo, and
the health officials will have much trouble
in getting 1t under control.
It was at Laredo that riot occurred a
few years ago, resulting in several persons
being killed, when an effort was made by
the state health authorities to que1l an
outbreak of smallpox raging among the

MILITIAMEN ARRIVE

Camp Young, West Point, KY, Oct L.
The national guards which are. to par

of the Second Michigan reaching Howard
station in driving rain.t The remainder
Of the Second, excepting Company M, de-
tained at the 500 on account of the labor
troubles there, came in soon after S
o'clock. Colonel Abbey Of this regiment
was complimented by Quartermaster Gen

JAPAN WILL
SEND TROOPS
The Mikado Decides to Send Two
Regiments Of Infantry into
Korea.

Paris, Oct. According to reliable in
formation received here Japan has de-
cided to send two regiments Of infantry
to \Corea. This Is regarded in authorita-
tive quarters as being most important
step, as affecting Russo-Japanese rela-
tions and as likely to accentuate the pos
sibilities Of a war crisis. Japan's decision
is considered to be directly related to
Russia's proposition to evacuate Man
.churia Oct. s. 1t is now accepted in the
highest quarters that this evacuation is
impossible of accomplishment as China
has not signed the terms on which Rus
Isia conditioned her evacuation.
Advices show that China inclines to
continue. the present Russian status in
'Manchuria rather than commit herself to
finally signing the proposed agreement
In. view of these conditions Japan's de-
sion to send troops to Corea. Is regarded
as being, a most significant STEP

This morning was quiet one about the
county attorneys office. Indictments were
being drawn and everything was being
rounded into shape for this afternoon S
report. The investigation into the council
manipulation Of railway vacation deals
was however, still on the tapis and AID
erman Fred M. Powers had his turn at
telling the inquisitors what he knew.
Z What will come out of the investigation
is still, of course, a matter of mere con-
lecture. It is known, however, some
startling revelations have been made by
certain men to the grand jury and that
there is a determination on the part of
that body to sift the matter thoroly.
In this connection some comment has
been caused by the fact that Former AID
erman Sutherland is out Of the city. AT
his office it is stated that he is hunting in
South Dakota. There is no possibility
that an indictment Is in preparation for
the doctor, as he has appeared as a wit
ness, but 1t Is believed that he has been
under a strain from which he is now seek
ing surcease. i ~ .- .->.'..2

there is one for w. H. Adamson, the
