LAuD THE PRESIDENT.
Bankers Have Full Confidence in His
lntearity Of Purpose.

Bankers Have Full Confidence in His
integrity of Purpose.
New York, Sept. 17.-Frank B.
schenek. president of the Mercantile
National bank. Manhattan, in an In
teryiew today said:
Il have full confidence in Mr.. Roose-
velts integrity of purpose ana deter
mination to do what Is patriotic and
wise. His selection of advisers In the
cabinet has indicated his determination
to conduct the affairs of the govern
ment on the highest plane. The selec-
ton of his secretaries of the treasury
has been wise and the banking COM
munity will have no need to fear any
unsound monetary conditions from Mr..
Roosevelt's administration. On the
other hand, while the democratic can
didate appears to be an estimable gen
tleman, / fear the men who would
come into power with him."
william L. Meyer, president OF the
Shoe and Leather National bank, Man
haitian, asserts that the reported hos
tile feeling in Wall street against Pres
ident Roosevelt is very much over
drawn. He says:
while some financiers may not fa-
vor President Roosevelt personally,
believe they will vote for him because
of the principle he represents. On the
other hand, many financiers admire
President Roosevelt for the earnest,
honest American that he is. They
think that it was one of the best acts
of the administration to curb the ten
dency to form great combinations.
President Roosevelt's return to Office
would mean the settlement of the
money question. Judge Parker's tel
egram does not change the attitude Of
the democratic party, for 1t was the
individual act of a man."

Is Too Much.

Say Half Dollar Day for Push Carts
Is Too Much.
New York, Sept. 17.--Trouble is
again brewing among the push cart
peddlers of the east side who claim
that they are being victlmized by a
recently formal combination of sta
blemen. The latter term is applied to
owners Of push carts who rent them out
at a fixed daily rate and maintain, un-
derneath tenement houses, storage
places for the carts where they are
kept at night.
sixty-seven stablemen, each owning
from 200 to $50 carts, have organized
and according to the peddlers, have ad-
vanced rates from 10 to 20 cents day.
The peddlers declare they could make
little profit at the old rate and as
they have no place to keep carts, are
still compelled to pay the higher rates
or quit They are planning to ask the
city authorities for public place where
they may maintain stables Of their
own.
