EXTRA SESSION NAY Be CALLED
PRESIDENT Is URGED 70 ISSUE
CALL sY CONSERVATIVE
FlNANcIERs.

Washington, Nov. SIT was learned
here Saturday from undoubted sources
that President Roosevelt is being urg-
ed to call an extra session OF congress
to deal with the financial situation.
The request comes from conserve
tive leaders in the financial world.
The president has been assured
from most reliable sources that there
will be no opposition on the part Of the
great industries OF the country to the
enactment of laws necessary to carry
out his ideas OF federal control.
These assurances are made at this
time to avert what has been repre-
scented as the most dangerous situation
which has confronted the country dur
ing an extended period-that is, the
seeming growing lack Of confidence,
based on known Irregularities In BUSH
ness methods In some quarters and no
sure and speedy means OF separating
the good from the unsound.
Put Congress to Work.
To this end it is suggested that the
president set congress to the task:
First, Of making such amendments
to the financial laws as will result In
the maximum OF flexibility with the
mi dIlum of basic change in our sys-
tenn.
Next, and perhaps the most in i'm
portance, that the president embody
his suggestions on corporation control
into sufficient recommendations for en-
actment into law.
That the president has given the re-
quest FOR an extra session careful
confederation is indicated by those
who have been asked to lend their ad-
vice In the matter.

Omaha. Neb., Nov. S. Plans have

VAST ACCUMULATION OF Elk
PORTS WAITING ON THE
RAIL ROADS.

New York. Nov. 5.-Ine uuoyansy
OF the stock market yesterday rehectea
the ultimate decision of large bankers
to support the two institutions Inc
Trust Company of America and the
Lincoln Trust company which nave
been subjected to the most severe runs
during the last two weeks.
The day was one Of doubt and con-
f1icting rumors and the fact that IL
passed without diverse development
is evidence that the worst is probably
over. At a late hour yesterday morn
ing an agreement was reached, largely
through the influence of Mr.. Morgan,
by which the trust companies will CO
onerate in the future for their mutual
protection, and the directors will lend
the assistance of their personal for
tunes to meet immediate necessities.
Stocks Go Up.
The achievement of these results
Yesterday, with the steady upward
movement Of the stock market Till
near the close Is believed to mark the
turn Of the crisis. The loss of $5O,000,-
900 in cash by the clearing house
banks, according to their Saturday
showing in spite of the 100000 that
had been poured into their tills during
the week from the treasury, was ex-
pected to have a disturbing effect. 1t
was "a worse showing than will be pos
sible again In the face OF the heavy
arrivals of gold.
Engage $s2,ooo,ooo in Gold.
Gold engagements since the begin
ming Of the present movement COW
amount to $32,000,0O0 which would
more than bridge the loss in the sur
plus reserve last week. The disturb
ances that are sweeping over the ex-
change market and arousing concern
in foreign markets were indicated yes
terday by the rise of foreign exchange
in New York considerably above the
point at which gold could probably
be imported
The fact that it Is still coming, this
way indicates the determination Of
New York bankers to strengthen their
position even at loss.
National Situation Sound.
The high rate for bills was caused
by the demand for exchange to cover
the arrivals of gold.
Reports from Washington indicate
that the national banking situation
throughout the country is sound and
the efforts of the controller of the
currency to get notes into circulation
are meeting with considerable success.
Enormous Exports Ready.
It was stated yesterday that the ele-
vators, boats and warehouses at Buffa-
10 have 100000 bushels Of grain and
so. carloads of merchandise and man.
ufactured goods, very largely for ex-
port, against which drafts for gold
could be drawn the moment the freight
is loaded on vessels that are waiting
at Atlantic ports for cargoes. The
magnitude Of this accumulation of
American products is indicated by the
fact that the railways find themselves
unable to move It to the seaboard. In
spite Of the enormous development OF
trafnc facilities within the last few
years.

TIMELY AUTO TOPICS.
Rise IN Price Of GasOlene Cause for
Some Notes.

An interesting report has recently been issued by
1.-The Motor Union Of Great Britain and Ireland
on the question of the alarming rise In the
price Of gasolene. The committee believes, as a
result of its investigation. that a shortage Of the
gasolene supply Is certainty. and that this fact
IS apparently not appreciated by manufacturers.
The committee believes that alcohol will neces-
sarily be the future fuel for the internal combus
non motor. Last February the Maxwell -Briscoe
Motor Company conducted a series of tests on the
relative merits Of alcohol and gasolene and the
report compiled by The Scientific American
showed that as a power producer alcohol was en-
tirely satisfactory. In short, 1t superior to
easolene. with the exception of the cost this be-
ing about twice that of gasoene. However with
motors especially adapted for the purpose and the
price Of alcohol reduced ii undoubtedly will be.
Britain and Ireland has hit the nail on the head
pretty squarely when 1t predicts that alcohol will
hsure largely as power producer for motor cars.
