!. Los ANGELES. May 22.-Paul Nor

ference has been arranged between the
two. II will be held in Chicago
Wednesday. 1t is said the meeting will
result in the resignation of Ripley and
the selection of Morton as his success
sor.
Color is given to this rumor by the
fact that Ripley recently intimated that
he had arrived at an age where he
would welcome an. opportunity to lay
down the cares of active service. He
is known TO have made this remark to
personal friends during his recent visit
in Southern California.

were freely discussed by Ripley, con-

Difficulties of a Trust Com
pany and Lawson's Warn
ingS Responsible.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

NEW YORK. May 22.-Prices of Sc
curities slumped badly in Wall street
to-day as a result of a combination of
unfavorable influences. chief of which
was the definite statement that the
State Banking Department had notified
a local trust company that it must
remedy its weak financial condition or
be closed. The name of the trust COM
pany referred TO was freely mentioned
on exchange and it was stated that its
directors had called a meeting for
Tuesday morning to take steps to i'm
prove its position.
AT the Office of the State Banking
Department no information could be
obtained as to the nature of the steps
taken to enforce the requirements of
the law. On the Stock Exchange, how
ever, reports were current that prep
arations had been made by the State
officials to take charge of the trust
company.
Other facts that evidently Influenced
the downward course of prices were the
reported extension of the strike in Chi
cago and predictions widely circulated
by Thomas w. Lawson that a panic
was impending. The market was af-
fected by the extended speculation that
prevailed in the staple market. wheat
and corn participating in the move
ment.
Before the market opened certain
conventional indications gave the i'm
preston that a recovery was at hand.
Large buying orders were cabled early
from London and the early market re-
sponded to the purchases, Union Pa
cific, Reading, Steel preferred, Amalga-
mated Copper and st. Paul shares ris-
ing point or more above Saturday s
market.
This upward movement, however,
was suddenly and violently reversed at
noon, when a decline set in which
drove prices down from three to four
points in all active stocks. This slump
in prices, which was attended by tenn
porary and partial recoveries, increased
in violence during the last hour, when

CALL BUREAU. POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, May 22.-'In my opin-
ion, the immigration problem at the
present time is the most serious that
confronts the Government and the peo-
pie Of this country said Secretary Met
calf OF the Department of Commerce
and Labor to-day.
"lt's most perplexing feature is the
question OF distribution. The Southern
States have reported 10 this department
that they cOuld employ many thousands
Of immigrants there Within a few days
We received letter from Louisiana stat
ing that that State alone could give en-
ployment 10 100 900 men in the field; and
1 know very well that more men are
needed 10 work the farms Of the great
West But the disposition of nearly all
incoming foreigners is TO concentrate in
the great cities. II is this concentrate
that makes the problem al once difficult
and necessary OF immediate solution.
The present fiscal year will break all
records. Il seems 10 me that il remains
for Congress 70 take some acton.

administration who is becoming alarmed

members Of his Cabinet have repeatedly
discussed The question and important
recommendations VIII be made 10 the in
coming Congress- Three methods Of re-
ton:
An increase on the head tax from s.

Limitation of the number of immi-
grants from each foreign country.
An educational qualification.
Il IS pointed out that of all these pro-
posed remedies the first. an increased

70 limit immigration from foreign coun-
tries. il is said, il viii be necessary 10
treat all alike. a difficult solution of
the problem. A large percentage of i'm
migrants coming TO this country to-
day are from AUSTRIA Hungary, Italy
and Russia The educational test
would work as Limitation for only a
brief period. because it is believed by
the officials here that the steamship
companies, themselves, which are now
encoursg ging immigration 10 such an
alarming extent. would establish

on this account an increase IN the

There is little or no trouble along the
Canadian border since Canada has
