WILL NOT INVITE THEM
But President VIII See Railroad
Mem If They Ask for audience.

Washington. March 15.-At late hour to-
night President Roosevelt had received no word
from :he four railroad presidents who were sug-
gested by J. p Morgan as cOnferrees to discuss
the railroad situation and TO urge Mr.. Roose-
Welt to take some action "allay the public
anxiety as to the administrations attitude. The
President will not invite Messrs. McCrea, Hugh
lit, Newman and Mellen to the White House,
but if they ask for appointment he will be
glad "a receive them.
TIE position in which the railroad men haYe
been placed is due to the fact that Mr. Morgan
arranged the conference with the President
without consulting the officials for whom he
asked the audience 1t is known that within the
last few days President McCrea of the Penn
sylvania communicated with the President and
made it clear that. while he did not want to
show any discourtesy. he did not desire to be
placed in the attitude of rushing to the White
House 10 make plea for executive cIemency
Since so much publicity has been given to the
official circles here tonight that the railroad
presidents viii decide to keep the appointment
which Mr.. Morgan made for them
..The Presidents policies have been outlined
so clearly in his messages TO Congress and in
public addresses. said member OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to-day that n Is
possible that the railroad presidents have de-
cided that their visit to the White House would
be useless. President Hughitt who is one OF
Mr. Roosevelts personal friends. has on several
occasions discussed the railroad situation with
the President. and he knows that the administra
tion has desire to punish the good railroad
corporations simply because the bad railroad

Ing for money for the Thaw trial. gave an in
timation that the District Attorneys office is
going to try TO indict New York Central OFF,
cials on account Of the Woodlawn wreck Mr..
Jerome sent a letter asking for $4,000 to pay
for the expense of the Thaw trial
The Controller asked If $4,000 covered all
the expenses of the experts. Mr.. Mott said that
he believed the amount would more than cover
all expenses He thought it would be about
$1,000 less than the asked for.
Have you not contingent fund for such
purposes?" asked the Mayor
Yes" answered Mr.. Mott, "but will have
heavy drafts on that owing TO the accidents on
the New York Central road, for which investi-
cation We shall have to pay for a large num-
ber Of experts"
What is the amount of the contingent fund.-"
asked the Mayor
MIR. Mott said $50000
The board" said the Mayor. has no desire
10 deny your request, but the Controller sug-
gests that might give you lump sum and
use that up. and then ask for more
Yes, hut we do not want to deplete the fund
too much" said Mr.. Mott.

KILLS JERSEY CHARTERS.
Annual House Cleaning of Delin-
quent I 500 Corporations.

Trenton. n j.. March 15.-Governor Stokes
issued proclamation to-day revoking the char
ters of more than 1900 New Jersey corporations
which have failed to pay the annual franchise
tax levied by the state for the fiscal year Of
19O5-'O6.
The proclamation is an annual affair, provided
by the corporation laws for the wedding out OF
delinquent corporations, and 1t seldom makes
its appearance without sensational stories of a
great fight being waged against corporate IN
terests by the state.
The fact is that the revoking OF the charters
Of even 1850 companies has little effect upon
the business world. since a large percentage OF
the corporations involved without actual
existence. except on paper.
It is estimated that probably so per cent Of
the delinquent companies have never transacted
any actual business since their Incorporation,
many Of them having failed even TO obtain sub
scribers to $1,000 worth Of STOCK. which is the
minimum amount with which they may start
business
