these increases, religious interest IN
New York is on the wane, and its
members are doing everything posi-
BILE to check the condition by holding
daily services in various parts of the
city where considerable numbers OF
working men are employed.
The President displayed dasp inter-
est in the matter, and promised to

TO THE PRESIDENT
TO AID THEM IN THE THREAT
ENED DISASTER.
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Secretary Of Treasury Announces
That Registered Coupon Bonds Will
Be Redeemed July First to an
Amount Not Exceeding S25,

Washington.-The White House
and the treasury department have
Hooded with appeals for President
Roosevelt and Secretary Cortelyou to
lake some action to avert the "threa5-
ened disaster in the financial and
railroad world" 1t can be STAGED
authoritatively, however, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not change his
attitude toward the railroads though
1t is admitted that the administration
nas no intention of entering upon an
Extremely radical attack on the rail
way corporations.
Z While it is known that the visit
pf j. P. Morgan to the White House
Aast Monday to induce the President
30 issue a reassming statement to the
eountry in regard to the administra-
lions attitude toward the railroads
corporations and the apparent failure
Of the inanciers appeal has had much
10 do with the panieky conditions that
swept over Wall street. President
Roosevelt has repeatedly said that he
is not an enemy of the railroads and
hat those who obey the laws have
lothing to fear frcm the government.
While it has not been definitely de-
cided the President may issue STATE
ment outlining his attitude after ne
has conferred with Presidents Nc
Crea, Newman, Mellen and Hughitt
on the cadlroad situation.
It is generally understood that the
railway officials will urge Mr.. Roose-
velt to take some steps to "allay the
public anxiety now threatening to
o,bstruct railroad investments and
construction as to the relation be-
tween the railroads and the govern
mant
Since Mr.. Morgan's hurried trip
to the White House, the President
has held numerous conferences with
Chairman Knapp and members of the
Interstate commerce commission in or
der that he may be in better posi-
ton to present the administration 8
side of the question when he meets
the railroad presidents. The admir-
istration is firmly convinced that the
great unrest in financial circles has
been brought on by the arguments
advanced by the railroad interests in
trying TO prevent "hostile legisla-
ton" in. the various states, and by
the attitude that the federal gover;,-
ment has taken to enforce the laws
regulating the common carriers.
In his interviews with the inter
starbe commerce commission the presl-
dent is fon'tifying himself with re-
gard to all the facts that body has
disclosed during dts various investl-
cations. In this way he will be able
ito meet argument with argument and
fact with fact. The President, it is
known takes the same position assum-
ed when he sent his message to Con-
gress last December and called at
tention to the fact that "during the
last five months within which the
new law was imperative ait that time,
sfthe railroads have shown increased
earnings and some of them unusual
dividends This, the President be-
leves refutes the claims of the rail
roads at the time that the new law
would ruin them and emphasizes the
fact that rate legislation either by
federal or state governments is not
the cause of the present panicky con
dibions.
