NEW YORK, Oct 26-In response to a
request as to his views of the present
situation, J. p. Morgan said today:
AS I have already said, / cannot TOO
strongly emphasize the Importance OF
people realizing that the greatest injury
that can be done in the present situation
is the thoughtless withdrawal of funds
from banks and trust companies, ana
then boarding the cash in safe deposit
vaults or elsewhere, thus withdrawing
the supply of capital always needed In
such emergencies as that which has been
confronted during the past week"
James Stillman president OF the Ma
tional City bank, who next to Mr.. MOI
gan has done more to bring about solu-
ton of the financial difficulties in New
York than any other man, said: Tne
wise and heroic action of the secretary
of the treasury and the splendid efforts
of CIR. Morgan, with the assistance OF
the clearing house, have demonstrated
the sound financial condition or the clear
ing house of this city.
Now, however, in order to facilitate
the shipments of cotton, grain, tobacco
end other products, and to facilitate the
imports OF gold, the associated banks
have wisely decided to combine their
credit by the issuance Of clearing mouse
certificates, and thus prevent the paralyz-
ing Of very large part Of the business
of the country"
Calmness and growing announcement
were the dominant features of the imam
cial situation when the great, banking In
sfitutions closed their week today, with
all the great financial institutions OF the
city intact. after having met their un-
precydented demands of the past Week.
with this signal demonstration of the re-
sisting powers of the banks came the
adoption of new ard important measures
to prevent a recurrence of the acute
strain.

Necessities.

From Life.
 There can be no doubt about the fact that necessities are going up. Havana cigarsNare much higher than they were. Good whisky is dearer.
 The price of champagne apparently re- mains the same, but this is only ap- parent The corkage is more, the tips are more, and anything that goes with it is much higher than it was.
 High living has almost doubled. It costs twice as much to go on even the simplest bat as it did. An ordinary fir tation leading to nothing at all, has in- creased nearly 50 per cent in cost.
 Speculation is higher than it was. It is getting beyond the means of all ex- cept multi-miflionaires to gamble in Wall street.
 Divorces are higher. Even the com monest kind of a divorce is more than the average man can afford.
 Appendicitis-which at first was pos sible to people in moderate circumstances is now something we can only dream of
 Hot-house violets and grapes, other mems wives, desirable scandals, French chauffeurs, and, in fact, all necessities recognized as such, will soon be out of the reach of all
 Indeed, if we keep on we shall soon all be reduced to leading respectable lives.

UNIVERSITY
OPEN FOR THE TERM.
Formal Exercises Held in Chapel and
First Of Big Rushes to Come Tonight
Around Old Cannon,

PRINCETON, Sept. 0.-Formally the
university here started the 161st year CT
its career last night, but the big events
not yet come to pass. Tonight the first
rush Of the term will take place around
the old cannon in the quadrangle, and n
pretty close contest Is expected between
the frshmen and sophomor classes, the
form being stronger In numbers than the
latter.
Where the famous Gym Rush" will
take place this year is still uncertain. 1t
cannot be held, as formerly, in the old
gymnasium. as that has been torn down.
The probabilities are that it will occur in
Dickinson Hall, which has many dlsadvan-
tages, however, for the freshmen. as the
approaches to it are long. and will there
fore give the belligerent "sophs' a bet
ter chance to make ready for the fresh
mn as they appear in squads to gain en-
trance to the building.
At the exercises In Marquand chapel
yesterday afternoon President Woodrow
Wilson made a short address of welcome
to the students and entering men. To the
latter he said that their reception here
might sem a littl rough at first, but that
they should forgive our manners and
take our greeting kindly"
There were no announcements, except
that McCabe Hall, the new recitation
building on Elm walk, was open for use,
and tha ground is being broken for new
laboratory buildings.

What is regarded as an important
catch was made al 2 o'clock this after

both negroes, of New York. The latter
has but one arm. The arrest was on

found on their person to warrant lock-
ing them up, but as both were about
to be allowed to go Acting Captain

well, we'll look just for the fun
of it," said the captain.
That the official profited by the in
vestigation would be putting it mildly.
for the paper contained a pocketbook
which had a counterfeit 800 bill In it.
AS a result both the men were locked
up and will be held pending an in
v~estigation.
Recently q number of negro women
have been swindled through the pock-
etbook game, and the detectives believe
that they will be able to connect the
two prisoners with several cases.

FALL TRADE SHOWS
CUSTOMARY INCREASE.
This Is the Conclusion Drawn from Fig
ures Of Bank C%learings of the
Cities of the Country.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Dun's Review.
in it's issue tomorrow, will say:
Bank c~learings show the customary
expansion due to fall trade and the in
crease is quite as large as in Septem-
Der of both preceding active years.
Total bank exchanges this week at all
leading cities in the United States out
side New York city are $S47, 942,325, a
gain of 5.3 per cent. over last year, and
1862 per cent over the corresponding
week of 1905.
New York city is again omitted
from the total, as the loss there is due
to the smaller volume of Wall street
trading this year and the lower secur-
ity values, and in part this is also re-
Elected in small losses at Boston and
Philadelphia.
"Pittsburg again reports a trihing
decrease this year compared with last.
The large gains at Baltimore and
nearly all Western cities, particularly
Chicago, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and
Kansas City. indicate substantial prog
ress In those sections. Compared with
the corresponding week of 1905. there
Is an increase at every city. including
New York"

STRIKE TIES UP
WORK ON TUNNEL.
Contractors on Long Island City Bores
Have to Quit Work-Pickets
Stop Strike breakers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Unable to get
strlke-breakers through the line Of pickets
established around what is known as the
second section of the Pennsylvania tunnel
work in Long Island City, where more than
200 engineers, rockmen. drivers and labor
ers are on strike, the contractors yesterday
were compelled to stop work on the ex-
tension.
known as the East avenue shaft, in Long
island City. The contractors on the work
are the McNaughton Company Inc Arthur
Mullen. The engineers and rockmen struck
two weeks ago. and since then their ranks
have been augmented by the laborers, until
now all the working force Is out.

ing tools, the hardware articles represent
ing the greatest consumption, practically
come from this country. l also spoke with
several contractors about possibilities for
metallic tiles and found that everyone was
entirely willing to give them a trial, upon
my assertion that. with some proper in
s~ulating product, they would not heat the
interior Of the building too much.
81 would mention. to end with, several
splendid opportunities which, although not
exactly in the manufacturing line, ought
to tempt some Of our manufacturers.
There Is, for instance, the cement question.
The consumption of cement in Brazil has
jumped IN three years from $4,000 tons to
10000 tons a year. A heavy duty is
charged upon cement, so that 1t comes at
a very high price. and there is no doubt
but that the rates would still be increased
if a domestic product could be manufac-
tured, At present not a ton of cement is
made in Brazil. Yet there are places
where good cement could be producedb
Another big opportunity is found in rail-
road building contracts. Railroad building
work is now being pushed ny the Brazilian
government"

QUINN VS.. REILLY
FREEHOLDERS' RELATIONS
SOMEWHAT STRAINED.
Hudson Member of Joint Committee
Ignored Chairman Of Essex
Bridge Committee.

Because of a tilt between two members
of the Essex County Board Of Freeholders
a small house located on the Jackson street
bridge and owned by the county will soon
be ~untenanted and probably be removed
piecemeal by the boys living in the neigh
borhood. The Freeholders in question are
Lawrence j.. Reilly, of the Fifth Ward,
and Emmett J. Quinn, Of the Tenth WarC.
So pronounced have their differences be-
come that their personal relations are
somewhat strained.
The primary cause of the trouble between
the two is said to be Reilly's appointment
as chairman of the joint bridge committee
of Essex and Hudson Counties on the
Bridge street bridge, but there have been
other causes for i'll feeling. Quinn, 1t Is
said, sought this honor, but 1t was given to
Reilly.
Action tending to place the house in a
good state Of repair was taken by the
committee some time ago, and an under
standing was reached whereby Quinn was
to get estimates on the cost Of the pro-
posed repair and arrange with the con-
tractor to dc the work. which included a
new gutter for the roof, new sewer con-
n~ections and the renovation of the interior.
In fact the house was to have been almost
rebuilt.
The proposed repairs, 1t was learned by
Chairman Reilly. who also sought some
bids. was about 1850.
County Supervisor Otterbein was in
formed of the state of affairs and advised
the committee chairman not to fall into
a trap. inasmuch as 1t would require more
than three years rentals to meet the cost
of repairs. the house renting for $40
monthly. After this was discovered action
was taken by the committee whereby
Freebooter Kenny. as secretary OF the
committee. was instructed to notify the
tenants to move. This has been done.
Last night, when the joint committee
met at the Jackson street bridge, the
| feeling between the two county officials
WAS prominently manifested when Chair
man Nurge, of Hudson County, who
presided over the meeting, ignored Chair
man Reilly by not appointing him on a
special committee to arrange some repairs
to the Jackso street bridge. F~reeholders
Kenny and Quinn, Of Essex County, and
Diet and Conrad, of Hudson, were named.
Freebooter Reilly requested the chairman
to include his name In the committee.
II don't see why he should; you're not
the whole committee snapped Quinn.
mo. but I'm the chairman" was the re-
tort from Reilly.
The proposed repairs to the Jackson
street bridge includes some to the iron
railing and the shaft of the engine. The
bridge needs repaintlng, expensive protec-
tlon from acid fumes arising from metal
re1neries, but action on this was deferred
until later.
Thomas Sisco. engineer at the jackson
street bridge, was transferred to the Nut
ley bridge, and Edward Donnelly, Of the
Nutley structure. will replace Sisco at the
Jackson street bridge.

UNCERTAINTY ABOUT
T-A-MILE RATE.
Pennsylvania Law Cannot Be Definitely
Passed On Before Day on Which
It Takes Eject.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2o.-Owing
to the engagement of Attorney General
Todd in connection with the prosecu-
lions of the Harrisburg capitol fraud
cases, the argument of the city's ex-
ceptions to the courts ruling in the
Pennsylvania railroads two-cent rate
suit, which vas to have been heard
in Common Pleas Court tomorrow,
has been postponed until the following
Saturday.
This delay precludes the possibility
of getting the matter before the SUI
preme Court n disposed of before
October l. the date the new rate law
becomes effective.
In the meantime the officials of the
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads
continue reticent as to what action
they will take on that date as to the
adjustment of their passenger fare to
the two-cent basis, excepting that they
claim that there is no disposition to
evade the law In the interim.
