CANNON TO PREVENT
A CHANGE IN LAWS
VIII Allow No Financial legislation
This Session.

Unless the plans OF Representative
Joseph Cannon Of Illinois. who is sched
uled TO be the next Speaker Of the
House, so astray, there is to be no h-
nanciaf legislation at the coming ses-
sion of Congress.
It seems that several New York bank
ers have been in conference on the
question recently with the President,
urging legislation for more elasticity in
currency. one plan being 10 allow banks
the privilege Of substituting irst-class
securities other than Government bonds
for Government deposits AID the repeal
Of that part Of the law which compcls
sequcsUation of custom house receipts
in the subtreasuries.
George. w. Perkins, OF J. Pierpont
Morgan & Co, was among those who
saw the President.
II is said that there has been some
sentiment in The House in favor CT f.
nancial legislation. but this sentiment is
dying out since the position Of Repre-
sentative Cannon has become known.
Mr. Cannon announced that be is un-
alterably opposed TO financial legisla~
tion. which he is quoted as saying is
demanded only by Wall Street.
Me. Cannon takes the ground that
neither the West nor the South de-
mands more money, such a demand
coming from Wall Street and Eastern
money centers. Mr.. Cannon. who is
president Of the national bank at Dan
Vile. H., declares that II Eastern bank
ers would reduce their call loans and
bring the speculative interests of Wall
Street down to a conservative basis
there would be no occasion for the crea-
tion of more money by legislation. The
Western banks. he says. have large re-
| serves in the East. aId these reserves
are being used to manipulate the mar
kets.

BOUND TO COME UP.
The Money Question will Have to
&, BE Reckoned with In
Congress.

They say that the money question Is
settled, and yet the president is con-
ferring with the republican leaders
about financial legislation and the
money magnates are preparing to
squeeze the public into submission to
their demands, says the Commcaer.
Speaker Cannon was called to Oyster
Bay and urged to assist in carrying out
the schemes OF Wall street, but he could
not be enthused. He was willing to
allow congress to pass such bill, but
he would not promise to help. His as
sistance. however, will hardly be need
cd, for the fnanciers will bring the nee
essary influence to bear on republican
members and Speaker Cannon would
ind 1t quite dinicult to prevent the pass
age Of any bill that Rothschild and Nor.
gan agreed upon. 1t might be well,
though. for the republicans to pause
long enough to consider what Mr.. Cam
non says about the increase in the cur
rency. He boasts that the volume Of
money has increased $126. 0oO, 900 in the
last year and he does not favor tinkering
with the currency. The quantitative
theory Of money has been INDICATED
and still the republicans refuse to make
permanent provision for an adequate
supply OF real money.
The fight that is coming up in con-
gress over the currency measure will
give the democrats chance to call pub
Nc attention to the manner in which
the monied element controls the repub-
lican party.

Stolen from Russia.
Famous Violin Finally Located in
France - Emperor Handsomely
Rewards Finder Of the

Mrs. Eva Leeds Cole, of Baltimore,
Nd, has received an interesting letter
from Miss Adeline Particle, daughter Of
Mr.. Particle, the United States treasury
agent ut Berlin, who recently recovered
the car Of Russia's lost Stradivarius
violin. Miss Particle refers to the re-
covery Of the violin as follows:
II wonder whether you read anything
in the foreign papers about the violin OF
the car. which my father was instru-
mental in returning. Nearly two years
ago the violin, a Stradivarius. was
stolen from the museum at St. Peters,
burg, and common Italian one was
put In its place. About year ago the
head Of the Russian police came from
st. Petersburg to see my father and to
ask If he had seen the violin, or heard
anything of such violin. in his wander
tngs among the dealers. He gave full
description of it and asked papa II he
would not take an interest in the mat
ter.
cat the time papa did not feel inclined
to get mixed up in the affair. Some time
after that the Russian ambassador came
and, being friend, he asked papa as =
personal favor, to take the matter up.
To please him, my father consented,

government an appointment as special
attorney to act for the imperial govern
