SHAWS DILEMMA.
Secretary Pulled This Way and That
b Bulls and Bears.

New York, Jan. 6-The Tribune to-
day says: AS a sequel to Jacob H.
Schif's panic speech at the chamber of
commerce on Thursday in which he said
that he had tried in vain TO induce
Secretary Shaw to come to the aid of
the financial situation here, If developed
yesterday that the secretary was adj
vised in opposite directions by two pow
erful sets of financieFs here. One group,
headed by the National City bank, of
which James StHman is president, and
which has close financial relations with
the Rockefellers, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
and E. H. Hartman, tried every means
to have the secretary deposit funds
here. The other, including the First Ma
tional. of which George F. Baker is
president and which has J. j. Hill in
its Directorate; the Chase National
whose president is A. B. Hepburn; the
Liberty National and the Rock Island
group of capitalists, came out squarely
for home rule
The First National group had the back
ing OF bankers in other large cities, who
said that the commercial interests were
not suffering and the government should
not feel called upon to help out a lot
of Wall street spectators. Secretary
Shaw took this course and in view of
the easier rates yesterday. representa-
tives of the First National party said
that they thought they had been en-
tirely indicated.

press agent at CheFryVale was bowling
like a coyote in the night because this
suit was not pushed further. Perhaps
he can now see one reason why the local
enthusiasm wiIted a little. Not only
have the oil men not paid single cent
of the costs. but they have never even
paid the actual expenses of their law
yers in travelling trying to make COM
promise with the railroad company
whereby interstate rates on oil ship
ments could be established. The suit
had no value whatever to anyone except
for use as a club to force the railroads
to extend the state oil rates to inter-
state oil business. Had 1t been tried
and the Santa Fe ousted from the state
the oil men would not have been bene-
fitted in the least. It was brought only
to be used as a persuader. and when the
oil men who backed the agitation at
Topeka last winter lost interest in it,
there was no use in pushing it. OF
couse, if the Uncle Sam affair at Cher
ryvale wants to push the case they can
undoubtedly buy the whole thing by
paying up this modest bill Of costs
Porter Says It's Absurd.
Senator S. NJ. Porter, another import
ant factor in the Standard Oil fight last
winter. and author of the state oil re-
fnery bill. was in town yesterday, and
in discussing the custer suit said:
t'I never took any stock in this custer
suit II IS ABSURD TO suppose that Dy
such a suit the Santa F'e railroad could
be ousted fl ON doing business in the
state. It couldn't be done if we wanted
to- and we wouldn't want to do it if we
could. I don't know whether the suit
was started as a pure bluff. or what
was the object of it. never could un-
and never took any hand in it.
Il know it to be a fact that the Santa
Fe attorneys have repeatedly tried to
get the case up for trial. They seem to
be anxious to have it settled. They
have never been able to bring it to a
focus. and always ind that the other
side is not ready for trial. If there is
any merit in the case. I don't see why
it shouldn't be tried out and settled"

SAYS PEOPLE DON'T wANrIT.
Mayor Davis Doesn't Think Voters
Favor Municipal Asphalt Plant.

THE people over the city viii never
vote bonds for municipal asphalt
plant" said Mayor W. H. Davis this
morning.
Il know the sentiment; I have talked
with them and 1 know how they feel
They Will never vote any bonds for that
purpose. They would rather see a canal
down Kansas avenue before they would
do anything like that.
The property owners seem to think
that the council won't listen to a petit
ton for asphalt. In that they are mis-
taken. We will accept any sort Of pc
tition if it is properly presented
I'VE believe that brick is cheaper in
the long run and that it is more durable,
but if they want asphalt they can have
it. The council, however has expressed
itself on the municipal asphalt plant
I don't know whether it viii change
its mind or not. I can't say for I am
not the council.
las far as I am concerned / always
thought that brick was the better, more
durable pavement and that to put down
any other would be a mistake"
IF the Kansas avenue property own
ers want the street PRAYED with gold
they can have it. provided they will
pay for it, said Councilman Horn.
The councilnen will vote for anything
that the property owners want"
