There is at least one very agreeable
difference between this Roosevelt
panic and the one presented the nation
by Grover Cleveland. The farmers
instead of being borrowers, are now
loaners OF money, and as long as this
CONDITION prevails there is little like
hood OF much of panic. During the
the past month the farmers of this sec.
ton have loaned out several thousand
dollars and they have more 10 their
credit. The pinch is on the other

WASHINGTON, March 16-The rail-

the whole country eentered today at
the White House.
James Speyer, the New York banker,
came to the capital and had an i'm
pOrtant conference; Governor Deneen
and Attorney General stead of Illinois
were here, and President MeIien of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad telegraphed to Roosevelt ask
ing for an interview on the general
railroad situation. This was fixed for
next Tuesday.

report that there would be further aid
for Wall street, as there was the day
after he called on the President and
Secretary Cortelyou last Wednesday
Speyer, as on the previous occasion.
had an interview with the. President
and then went over to see Cortelyou.
So far as Mellen is concerned. there
are only two ways of looking at this
action: One is that there was no abso-
lutte agreement among the railway
presidents not to come. The other is
that it was agreed to have Mellen do
the talking for Morgan's friends-Mc-
Crea. Hughitt and Newman-unless
they concluded later to adopt MelIen's
tactics.
The President is writing from mem
oranda letter he viii direct to GER
tain railroad presidents outlining his
plans. and the rumor is that he want
ed to give Speyer chance to see
whether it clashed seriously with what
Wall street deems a sound financial
policy.
The report is that Governor Deneen
will give out statement on his re-
turn to Springfield that case will be
prepared for the people against the
Chicago and Alton. In view of the in
terstate commerce complications the
Federal authorities will intervene and
ask that the State of Illinois present

SACRAMENTO HAS ITS
FIGHT WELL UNDER WAY
Large Delegation Is in Los
: Angeles Campaigning
Against Removal

Los ANGELES. March 16.-Sacra-
mento has already begun her spirited
campaign to defeat the aspirations of
fornia. Three hundred and sixty-one
persons. representing the Sacramento
Valley Improvement Association, ar
rived in Los Angeles two days ago and
since then practically every man in
the party, and woman, too. have been
putting In their best efforts to convince
Los Angeles people that the proposed
removal of the capital would not be for
the best interests of this section of the
State. 1t is undeniably certain that
they have created something of senti-
ment here against the Berkeley plan
Those who have been striking the
hardest blows for the cause of Sac
ramento are Colonel H. Weinstock and
former Senator Marshall Diggs. who is
at the head of the delegation. A public
reception was rendered the visitors by
the Chamber of Commerce, and last
night a return reception was given
by the Sacramento people at the West
minister Hotel, at which various speak
ers took advantage of the occasion
to present their arguments against
capital removal.
Colonel Weinstock characterized the
movement as simply a scheme of GER
tain real estate dealers to enhance the
value of their property In Berkeley. He
charged that these persons had paid
certain lobbyists to go to Sacramento
to assist the effort to whip the Legis-
lature into line for them and thus had
secured the passage of the bill. He
pointed out that to build new Capitol
building would cost many millions of
dollars, which all the State would have
to pay and he closed with an appeal
for the exercise of common business
sense.
1t has been announced that In due
time Sacramento will open head
quarters here for the purpose of ex-
plotting the advantages of that val
ley and also to conduct compaign
of education in opposition to capital
removal. One strong argument used
by the delegation is sthe fact that the
bill was passed by such a Legislature
as the recent one is known to have
been.

Interesting Report to

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


ST. LOUIS, March ia typewriter
statement issued to the press today by
State Beer Inspector Ernest Marshall,
a Folk appointee, is in part as follows:
1t is apparent since the enactment Of the
Lid and consequent Increased demand for bottled
beer that people are becoming more friendly to
beer as beverage.
Few people are aware of the fact that beer
and milk may rightly be termed twin sisters.
This has been demonstrated by chemical

the fact deductlng. of course, the alcohol from
the beer:

CALM AFTER STORM
Reports Conflict on How
Hartman Fared in Panic

NEW YORK, March 1e.-Wan streN
has settled down into the calm that
usually follows the storm. Among the
scores of wildly exaggerated stories IN
circulation is one to the effect that one
of the younger members Of the Wander
bilt family lost millions in the crash.
The name of the young millionaire and
those of the brokers who are said to
have sold him out are freely men
toned in these reports. His losses are
said to have been principally in Union
Pacific. which he bought heavily last
August on information that the divi-
dend was to be increased to 10 per
cent. Cornelius and Alfred Vanderbilt
are in Europe and their brokers re-
fuse to discuss the report.
The name of Hartman is also con-
tinually mentioned in connection with
heavy stock market losses. although
the fnancier ridicules the report and
his friends say that~fnstead of losing
money, he actually made large sum
by Union Pacific purchases made on
the day of the big decline
The story that ]. P. Morgan and
James J.. Hill bought great blocks OF
Union Pacific on the decline and are
now an important factor in the con-
troll of the property is denied with
equal emphasis. 1t is certain that the
Morgan interests had made fun prep
aration for the decline. If they did not
actually add their irhuence to the bear
movement
If E. H. Hartman has been hurt
by the decline in stocks he was able
completely to disguise his wounded
feelings in the jovial mood which he
displayed before he left Friday night
