Washington, Dec. 21.-On the deci-
sion Of Attorney General Moody and
President Roosevelt, before whom Con-
troller Ridgley has laid evidence which
is believed to show direct violation
of two federal banking statutes, de-
ponds the action of the federal grand
Jury in Chicago in the John r. Walsh
financial crash.
There is no intention on the part Of
the government to prosecute the Off
Gals of. the Chicago National bank,
which went into involuntary liquida-
ton few days ago. The department
has not taken any steps to make out
case against the officials, because the
indicatio point to payment of all
claims
Under the law, when the controller
of the currency permits the clearing
house banks TO liqnidate bank which
lis in trouble, the bank passes beyond
the Jurisdiction of the controller of the
currency and he has nothing to do with
administering it's affairs. He must be
convinced, before agreeing to such an
arrangement, that the defunct bank
can pay all it's debts. Unless the
claims against the bank are paid, the
controller can exercise no juris dictlor
in the matter; but whenever there is
a failure to pay claim, then the con
troller can step in and take charge OF
! the bank. r.
This arrangement does not suspend
| the criminal laws, and if it is fount
| that the laws have been violated, TIT
! department. of justice can bring a prose
cution. It is not the practice Of THU
| department to bring prosecutions in in
stances where all the creditors are paid

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Discontinuance OF
railroad passes has ruined the business
Of the Pullman car porter. The re-
form may please the railroad president,
but the autocrat of the diner and sleep
er views it in another light. 1t has
driven him into an ordinary labor union
in the hope of protecting his interests.
Pullman car porters hitherto have de-
pended largely on the ''tips' OF pas,
sengers. Their wages have been liked
accordingly. Now, the passenger, who
used to ride on a pass pays his tip into in
the ticket office for transportation. The
jexpectant look Of the negro porter IS
met with the chilly stare of q man who
feels that he is not under obligation to
the roads or any of its servants. The
porter cannot live on the chilly stare.
as he was wont to do on the tip, and ne
is to demand better wages. hence q
movement to organize the Pullman por-
tiers has been started. The organize
tion is known as the American Assocla-
ton of Railway Employees. -
A porter on the Lake Shore road said
he believed the only salvation Of the
dining car porters was to organize !,
union and fix scale of wages, aWithout
taking tips into consideration. "Tlps

New York, Dec. 21.-Too poor to pay

York, A. l.. Carter, "a years old, a
student in the law school of Columbia
university, is living in stonecutter s
toolshed within a few PAGES of the uni

posed Of one layer of pine boards, COW

keeps out the rain. There is one sad lit
tie window looking over the rocks to
the north.
The only means Of heating the place
is an oil stove, which is usually flame

Last August young Carter arrived in
New York from Columbia, Mo-, a gradu-
ate of the state university of Missouri,
where he had gone thru a four-year
course, supporting himself by doing all
kinds of odd jobs. Beyond a liberal
supply of good health, determination
and pluck he arrived in this city with
barely enough to pay his matriculation
fee in the law school, At first he took
humble bedroom, but failing to get
work, he had to give this up. He hunted
in vain for room at 81 a week, all the
expense he dared to incur, but, unable
to find that, made arrangements for the
use OF the shed he now occupies.

BLOCKING TARIFF
DEBATE IN HOUSE.
Republican Leaders Will Rush
Philippine Free Trade Bill
to Passage. -.
Efforts to Inject General Debate
on Tariff Will Be ''
Squelehed.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Dec. 21.-Raymond, in a
Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune, says:
means committee has submitted to the
house formal report on the bill which
proposes to reduce the rates of duty
on tobacco and sugar imported from the
Philippines to rs per cent Of the Ding
ley tariff and allows all other articles
from the islands to come in free.
The present program is to call up this
Philippine tariff bill Immediately after
the holiday recess and push it thru the
permit debate, but will shut off all
amendments. Speaker Cannon has pre-
viously held that no amendment would
be germane which concerned anything
else than the rate of duty on sugar and
tobacco imported from the Philippines.
Under this ruling it will be impossible
to provoke a general tariff debate ex-
cussion.
Block Popgun Amendments.
The republicans are unwilling that
they should be put in a false position
by being obliged to vote on various IN
important tariff amendments intro
duced for the express purpose of manu-
featuring campaign material. They
will, therefore, pass a special rule lin:
iting the time Of debate on a liberal
basis, but strictly preventing the intro,
duction of miscellaneous "popgun
tariff amendments. There will be d
breaking off of republican strength and
the bill will be opposed by democratic
beet sugar members.
There will be discussion in the sen
ate, but the Filipinos will have better
market before the end of the presen!
congress- The bill, in all probability
will provide for absolute free trade
i in 1909, which will be ten years after
; the signing of. the treaty of peace, sc
that Spain will not benefit by reduc
ton in the general tariff duties.
Conditions in Islands.
In the report submitted In the house
the committee says the general con
ditions have not changed materially
, since the previous report submitted. 1
anything the cost Of sugar in the Phil
ippines. is slightly higher today thai
| it was a year ago, and owing to tn
low grade of Philippine sugar, sales il
this market for the last year have beer
at the price Of cent a pound les
than the market rate for cane suga
ference in the price of the raw and re
fined sugar, the cost of the Philippin
sugar, refined and laid down in New
York, is s:s cents pound. without ad
ding anything for the duty. The pric
Of Philippine sugar, everything in
Guided, In. New York, is about cent
a pound. Representatives from Mich
gan this year fix the cost of sugar i
/ that state at SO cents a pound, an
Colorado people say they can make
for 81 cents.
Free sugar from the Philippine
/ would, therefore, only equalize cond
lions as between the products of tn
islands and the beet sugar of tn
United States. With duty Of IS pc
cent Of the Dingley rate, there is ampl
protection for the American produc
against that of the Philippines.

MRS. COREY SEEKS
NO RECONCILIATION
Steel Kings Wife Goes Back to
Pittsburg, but Will Not
Make Up. ~..
Journal Special Service.


Pittsburg, Dec. 81. = Mrs. Laura
Corey, wife Of the steel king, now on
her way from Los Angeles, has served
notice on friends Of her husband here
that she will not meet him to talk over
matters tending toward a reconcilia-
tion. A close friend of Mrs. Corey in
Braddock said tonight:
"Mrs; Corey will meet her husband
if her attorneys think it necessary, and
then only in the presence Of her attor-
neys. She has served notice that she
will not discuss in any way a recon-
Citation with her husband, nor will she
meet him at his fathers home or any
other person IS home.'
The speaker is familiar with all
phases Of the Corey trouble, and this
information was brought forth by the
was to be reunion at the home of A..
A. Corey next Sunday evening, at which
W. Ellis Corey and his wife would
probably make up their differences.
Mrs. Corey has declined absolutely
to consider a proposition to forgive her
husband, whose infatuation for Mabelle
Gilman, an actress, has made him the
most talked-about man in the country.
Corey is making desperate efforts to
head off the attempt Of his wife to
try for divorce in Pittsburg. Before
she left Los Angeles an agent was sent
to offer terms of reconciliation. It was
in Los Angeles, according to friends of
Mrs. Corey, that the proposition to meet
at the home Of Corey's father here to
| talk matters over was made and re.
fused.
Alleged double dealing on the part
| of her husband is the principal reason
advanced by the close friends of Mrs
| Corey for her coming from the west
to Pittsburg for divorce. She has made
the assertion that Corey tried to injure
up case against her so that she might
not bring out her points in full in The
divorce court against him.
