tatiVe Burleson, of Texas,
Confers with Secretary
Cortelyou.

Washington, October 30.-Repres-
entative Burleson, Of Texas, was clos
eted for an nour today with Secretary
Of the Treasury Cortelyou. In that
conference every phase of the finan-
cial situation in the south was dis
cussed, and Mr.. Burleson again press
ed his request that the treasury place
on deposit in the banks Of the cotton
country $10,000,000 to ease the situa-
ton.
When seen upon leaving the treas
ury Mr.. Burleson declined to make a
statement further tnan to admit that
he had discussed the situation at
length with Cortelyou, and that he
might have something interesting to
say regarding the matter during the
next few days.
A resolution, inquring by what au-
thority Secretary Cortelyou went to
the aid Of the Eastern banks with the
Governments money, and whether it
is advisable that such policy be pur-
sued in the future, Will be introduced
in congress by Representative Simms,
Of Tennessee, as soon as congress
meets. MIR. Sinms is one Of the
Southerners upon whom Mr.. Cortel-
you's actions have made an unfavor-
able impression. He cannot see that
there is authority for aiding tie
banks of the east and failing to help
those of the south.
There is a growing impression here
that Senator Tillman will act similar
ly in the senate. Last winter he In
troduced resolutions calling for an
investigation Of corporations con-
tributions to national election funds,
and demanding Of Secretary Cortel-
you that he disclose such informa-
ton as might be in his possession.
The resolutions we're killed by the Re-
pubicans of the senate, but the IN
formation which Senator Tillman Sc
cured in connection with the matter
gave him considerable familiarity
with the financial dealings Of Nh.
Cortelyou in the handling Of public
moneys. P.H. McG.
