RUSSIAN CREDIT
BEING IMPAIRED
Financial Agent in London Pro-
tests Against Reports
HOSTILE CAMPAIGN
Says Millions of European Families
Are Being Harmed, Who Have In
vested Lifetime Savings In
Russian Securities.

London, March 2S.-M. Routkowsky,
the Russian financial agent in London,
has sent a long letter to the London
newspapers protesting vigorously against
what he calls the deliberate campaign
carried on the past three days not only
by the British press, but also through
organs corsected with the British press
in American and France, to damage Rus
sian credit by predicting insolvency and
revolution.
The letter says: -
Millions of families in Europe have
invested the savings of a life time in
Russian securities, ard would be ruined
by the sale of the bonds in a panic. 1t Is
criminal to attempt to ruin such people
by mistatements and misrepresentation
and In an Individual case any court of
law would award damages to the suf-
ferers."
M. Routkowsky proceeds to deny that
Russian budgets are in a chronic state
of deficit On the contrary, he says the
surplus of ordinary income over expen-
diture the past ten years aggregated
5000 100000 which has been spent, not un-
productivity, but mostly for the purchase
and construction of new railways, and
the conversion of high interest debts
Further" NJ Routkowsky says, 'it
is not true that the revenues of the rail-
rroads do not cover the working ex-
penses. On the contrary. the revenues
not only cover the expenses but also
meet all fixed charges and with the de-
velopment of new country will be still
more productive"
M. Routkowsky then gives details of
the state debt, contending that the Brit
ish national debt requires much larger
annual expenditures for interest and
sinking fund in proportion to the annual
national income, than does the Russian
national debt. and that there is nothing
to alarm Russian investors in view of
the country's practically unlimited re-
sources.
In conclusion M Routkowslxy declares
his conviction that public opinion does
not approve of the campaign which he
asserts has been carried on from political
motives

the treasury. If he had asked 1t to go
into partnership with him, 1t ought to
have refused. because it goes into part
nership with no one. But he has simply
said: I realize that certain branches of
missionary work seriously needs help,
and I request you as the agent who can
do 1t. to do 1t to the best advantage, to
place this money where It will do the
most good Money which leaves the re-
ceiver free from all obligations, except
that of using 1t wisely, should be received

X belongs to him.

BEEF TRUST TRIES
TO BR|BE WITNESS
Armour's Confidential Man is
Arrested in Chicago
SHOWED TOO MANY FAVORS
Took Witness to Theatres and Dinners
and Allowed Him the Use of Pri-
vate Offices While sojourn-
ing In the City.

Chicago, March 2S.-The federal grand
jury tonight returned an indictment
against Thomas J. Conners, geenral sup
erintendent of Armour & Co., on a
charge of interfering with a witness sum-
moned to appear before the jury. Mr..
Corners, who is ]. Ogden sArmour's most
confidential employe, and the active head
of one of the largest packing companies
In the world, was arrested on bench
warrant by United States deputy mar
shal and brought to the grand jury room,
where he was released on a 5000 bond.
After his release Mr.. Conners refused TO
discuss the matter.
The indictment charges that John Ed
ward Shields of Brooklyn, N. Y, for
mer employe of Armour & Co., and who
testified before the grand jury in the So
called beef trust" investigation, was ap-
preached, favored and entertained by Mr..
conners, and specifically states that on
March % the offense upon which he is
indicted occurred.
1t Is also charged that Shields was
given the use of Armour & Co.'s offices
at 205 LaSalle street to transact this bus
mess while in Chicago, and also the use

of the packing company.
Entertained by Conners.
Another allegation Is that Shields was
entertained by Corners and that Conners
suggested to the proposed witness that
he should testify favorab1y TO Armour &
Co, and not to tell all that he knew con-
cerning the matter under investigation.
The second count of the indictment
charges that Mr. Conners did not limit
his attempt at influencing witnesses to
Mr. Shields, but that other witnesses who
have not as yet appeared in Chicago have
been approached by him and attempts
made to influence them as to the nature
of testimony they would give before the
bureau.
When the special grand jury convened
last week, Shields was one of the first
witnesses to appear He came to Chicago
from New York. He had testified before
a grand Jury sitting in New York and
there is said to have divulged facts which
led the federal officials to believe him in
possession of many other details concern
ing the question under consideration. He
was requested to come to Chicago, and
the federal officials were instructed to
watch the man closely. Two men were
detailed to watch Shields. One of these
secret service men obtained Shields con-
fidence. and thus learned facts which
doubled the precautions Of the government
to prevent any of the witnesses from be-
ing coached Shields was followed by
these detectives, and it was soon learned
that he frequented the offices Of Armour
& Co., having a private wire at his dis
posal, and answering all his private cor
resopndence there.

Dr. Barton said. however, that the re-
psrt o1 the subcommittee on the ques-
tion OF accepting the gift notwithstanding
the protest was unanimous although he
would not disclose in any way the ma
ture of the report. He admitted that the
prudential committee had taken some
dffinite vote In regard to accepting the
gift but It was deemed best not to an
nounce 1t until tomorrow. because the
resolutions passed by the entire commit
tee were not in complete form. and
because they had not been officially COM
