RAILROAD SITUATION
LONG AND EARNEST CONFER
ENCE LAST NIGHT.

Depressed railroad prospects and the
general financial outlook did not receive
consideration during the busy hours of the
White House today The President did not
receive any visitors with whom he thought
it wise to go into the question. Marvin A.
Hughitt, president of the Chicago and
Northwestern road. was with the President
at luncheon, but Mr.. Hughitt Is member
of the board of trustees of the Nobel peace
prize received by the President. which he
turned over as a foundation for fund to
promote industrial peace. The other men,
bers Of the board were also guests of the
President at luncheon, and railroad mat
ters If discussed at all, were incidents of
the occasion. 1t is thought probable
though, that the President will invite Mr.
Hughitt to talk railroads with him during
the afternoon.
Earnest Conference Last Night.
There was a long and earnest conference
on the railroad situation at the White
House last night lasting three hours. The
President had with him Secretary Cortel-
YOU. Secretary Garfield, Assistant Secretary
Bacon Commissioners Knapp, Lane. Glenn
ents, Clark and Harlan of the interstate
commerce commission and F.. B. Kellogg,
who has been acting special counsel Of
the commission in a number Of railroad
hearings and other matters. Nobody would
talk about the conference, but it is stated
on high authority that the President is
earnestly seeking to ascertain from his per-
sonal friends their views as to the wisdom
of making a speech or statement defining
| his attitude to the railroads and his inten-
| lions as to asking further legislation at the
next session of Congress. The President,
! as heretofore explained in The Star sees
| trouble ahead no matter what he may say
and up to this time he has concluded that
| the wisest plan is TO hold aloof. He shows
| indications of changing his mind and has
| under consideration an urgent invitation
extended to him yesterday by the Illinois
Manufacturers Association to talk to the
| association at Springfield at an early date.
| If the President will accept, 1t is proposed
| to have a great gathering of manufactur-
| ers Of Illinois and the middle west to re-
ceive his views on the railroad situation
and the general outlook.
The committee told the President that
the present disturbed railroad condition is
creating feeling of timidity and appre-
hension that threatens curtaiiment OF
banking and business credit and a general
depression. The manufacturers by reason
of great prosperity and unprecedented
