PESSIMISM PREVAILS
RESULT OF RoosEvELT's EFF.
FORTS REMAINS IN SUSPENSE.

No Intimation That Either Side Will
concede Anything-Witte in Accord
With President-conferenc May
Be Prolonged.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 22-The
result of President Rooseve1t's effort
to save the peace conference from
failure remains in suspense. No d.
rect reply to the presidents propo-
sition communicated by M. Witte has
come from Emperor Nicholas, but 9TH
er advices received from st. Peters
burg indicate that the emperor and
his councillors are mistaken in their
determination neither to cede terri
tory nor pay war tribute. What the
president is doing on the Japanese
side remains as deep a mystery as
ever Little light is shed upon the
visits of Baron Kaneko to Oyster Bay.
The japanese do not even admit that
he is their medium of communication
with the president. They go no fur
Their than to reiterate that Mr.. Roose-
Welt understands their position and
that they have the fullest confidence
in him. They show not the slightest
indication that they have in any wise
changed their position or are pre-
pared to yield more than they were
last Friday, when the plenipoten-
tiaries adjourned until this afternoon.
If M. Witte does not receive fresh
n G af haf 81 Ii ~
ernoon, when the conference is re-
sumed, the situation will be exactly
what 1t was before the adjournment
was taken on Friday. 1t will be safe
to assume that in the absence of such
reply the conference will be pro-
longed after today, and every delay,
in the opinion of the presidents
friends, means hope, faint though it
be. Mr.. Roosevelt's object was de-
scribed as being to "prolong the nego-
tiations"
There is warrant for the statement
that M. White personally sympathizes
with the presidents proposition, no
matter how 1t may be regarded by his
imperial master and his advisers. 1t
Is mistake to suppose that in con-
sidering such proposition the en-
peror consults a regularly ordained
council. Throughout the conference
he has been calling in council such
advisers as he deemed wise, some of
his relatives. the grand dukes, mem
bers of the court and certain chosen
ministers. The Grand Duke Nicholas

Nicholavitch. one of the most power
ful OF his advisers, is known to be
absolutely opposed to yielding an iots.
beyond what M. White has already
conceded. AS an alternative he ia
vors the continuation of the war. The
spirit of all the advices received has
been such as to almost preclude hope
of an eleventh-hour change. The
general belief here is that President
Roosevelt, while he has the moral
support of one of the neutral powers,
has not received the active support
he expected.

See love and peace daily increase

To let them pass like DER the grass

of himself for having indulged in any such
attack as this upon those who even now are

PLAN TO PEoPLEIzE THE TRUSTS

The Columbus Press Post gives the fol
owing resume of Judge Grosscup's article in tn
american Illustrated Magazine for September OF
he "Peopeization of The Trusts"
The remedy consists of bringing the peo-
pie back into the ownership OF the property
of the country. There would be but two
classes Of securities issued, one which repre-
sents the cash paid in, or its equivalent in
property, the other issued from time to time
to cover the value of the increase in property.
Labor would be given opportunity for par
ticipation in ownership, and all would be un-
der the watchful eye of the government. Sc
curities would be sold only under govern
ment supervision. Judge Grosscup decrys
municipal ownership, but his co-partnership
relation in the ownership of the corporation
is very close approach to it, If, indeed, 1t
does not amount to the same thing. The
most cheerful bit of information which the
article contains Is that the people of the
United States own majority of the bank
deposits which shows that they own con-
trolling interest in the wealth or the country,
but, again, the corporate interests are founded
upon this wealth. They are nurturcd by t.
Without access to Ii they would OF necessity

Apgar was unable to remember anything
about $1,000 which an Equitable voucher
credited him with receiving. Senator McClel-

from the Equitable. He positively denied
this. He was then confronted with re-
