They WILL NOT GO
TO THE WHITE HOUSE
The Railroad Presidents Have So
Decided.
MANAGERS NOT IN PERFECT ACCORD.
MeCrea, Mellen, Hughitt and Newman.
II Is Said, DO Not Feel They Could As
sumo the Position of Self-constituted
Commission to Present the Views Of
Hundreds of Railroad Companies.
RAILROADS AND MARKET.

While hundreds of brokers
we're cheering at the close of the
trading on the New York Ex-
change over the end of the panic,
the four railroad presidents whom
Mr.. Morgan had asked President
Roosevelt to meet were in con-
ference in New York
They finally decided not to go
to Washington, for the reason
that all the railroad managers In
the country are not in perfect ac-
cord and they could not secure
a consensus of opinion on what to
suggest to the President.
The result of the rally in the
market shows that the 20 leading
railroad stocks which so sharply
declined Wednesday and Thurs
day made a net gain of S6.30 a
share. almost half the total loss
of the two preceding days.
Thomas F. Ryan helped to save
the situation He is said to have
bought $4,O00,000 worth of Sc
curities when at the lowest level.
The endurance displayed BY
the New York brokerage houses
during the panic is said to have
been unprecedented.
r. II. Hartman denied rumors
that control of Union Pacific had
passed from him during the vio-
lent slump.

New York Especially .--Messrs. Nc
Crea. Mellen, Hughitt and Newman,
the four railroad presidents for
whose visit to the White House ].
Pierpont Morgan arranged before his
departure for Europe, held a confer
ence at the Grand Central Station in
this city. The whole situation was
canvassed with great care, and It
was finally decided not to go to
Washington.
1t is understood that the reason
for this conclusion was that the four
gentlemen involved did not feel that
they had any proper mandate from
the railroad corporations to repre-
sent them. They felt that they could
not assume the position of a self
constituted commission to formulate
or present the views of the hun
dreds of railroad companies, which
in turn are owned by millions of
shareholders. They recognized that
the railroad managers of the United
States are not themselves in perfect
accord, and that until some method
could be adopted for securing a con-
sensus of opinion visit to the Presi-
dent would be idle. At the conclu-
sion of the conference the various
presidents left for their homes.
From another source 1t was learned
that the presidents were utterly un-
able to agree on a statement as to
what position should be taken. 1t
was held by at least one OF them that
as no invitation to the White House
had been given to them by President
Roosevelt and that he had said mere
ly that he would see them II they
came, they would be put In the posi-
tion of suppliants asking the Presi-
dent to modify the attitude of the
federal government toward the rail-
roads Upon the other hand, If they
went to Washington at the invita-
tion of the President they would be
on equal ground with him and could
discuss the railroad situation without
embarrassment.
Thomas r. Ryan, when asked his
opinion about the meeting arranged
by Mr., Morgan between the Presl-
dent and the heads of the great rail-
roads of the country, said.
Il believe that II Mr.. Morgan's
visit to the President is followed up,
% ~ ShOuiu btt W all VI OuT great
business interests, 1t will do much
good.
II also believe that the Presidents
attitude toward corporations is much
misunderstood by the general public.
1t is unfair to assume that IL is his
desire to hamper the business inter
ests of the country. l am, however,
convinced that he purposes to enforce
the laws as he finds them upon the
statute book, and l think the sooner
the business interests of the country
conclude to 40 to work to aid the
President in solving the difficult prob
lens that confront him every day,
the sooner confidence will be restored
and the business of the country move
on without interruption. So far as
general business is concerned, the
only fault to be found with it is that
it is too active"

THEFT OF A MULE
PROVOKED THE WAR
Funny Beginning of Central Ameri.
can Fuss.
NATIONS BECAME VERY MulIsH.
Honduras and Nicaragua Having Be-
come Imbued With the Distinguish
ing Trait of the Stolen Animal,
Concluded to Fight 1t out-A Ques-
tion of Citizenship.

Washington Especially One mule
"a mule belonging to Senor Ireneo
Salgado--was the chief object in
dispute between Nicaragua and Hon
duras when they began the quarrel
which finally ended in the war that
is threatening the peace of ali Cen
trail America, according to official
communications exchanged by the
ministers OF foreign affairs for the
two republics, copies Of which have
been received in Washington.
The controversy began when Senior
Augusto c. Coello the Honduran
minister of foreign affairs, wrote a
note to Senor Jose d. Oamez, the NJ
caraguan minister for foreign affairs,
on January 90, protesting against
the theft OF mule from Ireneo Sal
gado by 35 Nicaraguan cavalrymen
who we're charged with entering Hon
duran territory.
In reply, Senior Gamez said the
Nicaraguans did not quite enter Hon
duras. although they passed near to
the little town of Los Manos. in that
republic. The taking of the mule
was not denied, but Senior Gamez
insisted In his letter that Salgado
was not a Honduran citizen, but a
Nicaraguan who had to leave that
country because of the part he played
In a revolution two years before.
Consequently Nicaragua maintained
that Honduras had no right to fly
TO the defense of Salgados mule.
This note brought spirited re-
ply from Honduras, the minister for
foreign affairs, announcing that Ire
neo Salgado, the Nicaraguan refu-
gee, was living in Tegucigalpa, hap
PLY engaged in trade there, while
man by the same name, a reputa-
BILE and respected farmer, a Hondu-
ran of unquestioned citizenship. lived
at Los Manos and owned the much
mooted mule.
Nicaragua replied that it was true
That Col. Juan l. Rocha, who COM
manded a part OF the cavalrymen,
took a mule near Los Manos, but
reiterated thet the animal was not
taken in Honduran territory. Dis
patches grew longer as the contro-
versy waxed warmer. Other ques-
tions arose. Then the arbitration
tribunal was opened and finally the
break came when President Zelaya,
of Nicaragua, withdrew his member
of the board of arbitration and war
between Honduras and Nicaragua
actually began.

New Canal Commission.

Washington (Special) After til,
reorganization of the IsthmIan Cana
Commission, with Colonel Goethals
as chairman, it is probable that all
seven of the canal commissioners will
live on the isthmus and the com
mission will become more of an ad

Chairman Shonts. Under Mr.. Shonts
the commissioners were advisory of
ficials rather than executive officials
They were consulted on engineering
problems, and in some cases on ad

Torpedo Starts 1t.

The primary cause of the accident
was the explosion of a torpedo. What
caused the explosion is not known,
but the powder magazines of the
lena were set on fire, and their con-
tents, In exploding, practically de-
stroyed what was considered one of
the finest vessels in the French Navy.
The lena had Just undergone
final inspection of her hull and ma
chinery, the latter having been COM
pletely overhauled preparatory to
Joining the squadron.
The crew was in its full strength,
being composed of the rear admiral
"a others officers and $50 men. The
magazines had been replenished re-
Gently, and contained many tons of
both smokeless and black powder, as
well as a number of charges for
torpedoes.
The crew had finished their mid
day meal only a short time before
the explosion and had dispersed to
various parts of the vessel. Most of
the men were engaged in work con-
nected with the approaching depar-
ture of the warshlp, but quite a large
party had been detailed to attend
lecture that was being given forward.
Panic Follows Explosion.
The explosion came without warn
ing. The first shock was extremely
violent and shook the vessel fore and
aft, 1t was followed instantly by
other shocks. The crew were thrown
into a condition of panic. They
rushed wildly hither and thither
about the deck The men forward
who had been attending the lecture
clambered over the bulwarks and
jumped down, some of them into the
dock and others to the stone quay.
Many of the men who jumped sus-
tained fatal injuries.
