WOULD NOT PREVENT
 A REASONABLE RETURN
BRYAN'S OPINION AS TO RESULT OF RAILROAD REGU-
 LAYTON.

Public Has Shown No Disposition to
 Reduce Railroad Earnings to Point
 Which Would Deny a Fair Return
 on the Money Invested-Believes
 When Value of Roads is Ascertalned
 Public Would Insist that Returns be
 Sufficient for Reasonable Dividends.
 Boston, March 29-H M. Whitney, prominent Massachusetts democrat, and former candidate for lieutenant governor, tonight made public letter he has just received from W. J. Bryan dealing with the railroad question: The letter was in response to one from MT. Whitney, in which he asked:
 Whether in your judgment there is any danger that regulation will be car ried to the point of preventing a req sonable return on money invested in the railroads of the country and whether in case of adoption of govern ment ownership by the nation or by the several states tine stockholders could expect to receive a price equal to the value of the physical railroad proper ties?"
 MT. Bryan writes in part as follows
 q am in favor of both national and state regulations, and I also believe that public ownership is the ultimate solution of the railroad question. In my discussions on this subject I have poin- ed out that because of the ,--Ager of standardization in ownership by the fed eral government of all the lines, I pre- fer system in which the federal gov ernment will be confined to the neces- sary trunk lines, and the ownership of the rest of the lines be left to the states. This however, is not an imme- diate question, at least I am not sure that the people are ready to consider the question of government ownership, and until they are ready to consider tllhl dICSllOll lllN liilClC6L Is NClllSASO AAA regulation. As an advocate of regula tion of the strictest sort, can say to you that there is no danger what ever that this regulation will be car ried to the point of preventing a req sonabie return on money invested in the railroads of the country. And I can also assure you that whenever public ownership is adopted by the states or by the nation, the stockhord- CTS may expect to receive price at least equal to the value of the physic- al properties of the road; but no such assurance ought to be necessary, be- cause the public has shown no dlspo- sition to reduce railroad earnings to point which would deny a reasona- ble return.

RUMANIA QUILTING DOWN
OFFICIAL REPORT SAYS ALI IS
 SERENE IN MOLDAVIA.

Large Number of Refugees still Con-
 tinue to Make Their Way Out of the
 Troubled DistFicts-Austria and Bull
 garia Send Steamers to Rumanian
 Ports to Bring Away Their Subjects.
 Bucharest, March 29.-The situation in Rumania appears to be quieting down, but large numbers of refugees still continue to make their way out of the troubled districts.
 An official report issued to-day re- lates that all is quiet in Moldavia, the only fresh disturbance recorded being in the Trotush valley, in the Neamtz district, whither troops have been dis patched. The agitation in the districts of Olt, Roman, Mehedintz and Tele- orman has become somewhat threat ening, but the situation in the Dolj, Buzec and Ramnio districts has inl- proved. No further disturbances have been reported from the districts of Braila, Argesh, Gorj or elsewhere.
 The governments of Austria and Bul- garia have sent steamers to various Rumanian ports on the Danube to con- vey their respective subjects to neu- tral territory and Rumanians escaping, from the dsordered area also are availing themselves of these vessels.
 The refugees crossing the Danube in- to Bulgaria are for the most part Greeks and Jews.

WASHINGTON ON 1KNCHING.
Cause Can be Obliterated by Co.Opera-
 tIon of the Races.

Nashville, Tenn, March 29.-Booker T, Washington, president of the negro school at Tuskegee, Ala, addressed the students of Vanderbilt this afternoon on "Lynchings." Professor Washing ton said:
 T believe that the causes that most frequently lead to lynching can be largely plotted out and controlled by cooperation between the two races. The unfortunate habit of iynching started to punish individuals who are charged with assaults on females, and has gradually grown until the past year two-thirds of the lynchings were for crimes or supposed crimes other than those for assaults on women on- ly."

UNLIMITED FUNDS ID
 UNEARTH CORRUPTION
WORK IN FRISCO WILL NOT LAG FOR LACK OF
 MONEY.

Rudolph sprecItles Will Guarantee Ex-
 penses of Inquisition to Any Amount
 -DecIares Work Will Not be sus-
 pended Until Every Bit of Rotten
 ness is Exposed--Expects to Land in
 Penitentiary Every Giver of Bribes
 and the Higher Up the Offender the
 More Vigorous His Pursuit.
 San Francisco, March 29.-Rudolph Spreckles, financial sponsor of the in vestigation of municipal corruption now in progress, to-day told The Asso- ciated Press that he would guarantee the expenses of the inquisition to any amount.
 Contributions from citizens to the fund of $1O0,000 guaranteed by me be- fore the commencement of the bribery graft investigation are coming in stead ily," said MT. Spreckles. They are in amounts ranging from $2O to $1,0OO
 Tn the event that the ultimate total of subscriptions falls short of the $lO0,- 900 guaranteed, I will make the deficit good, and if it costs more than S100,OOO to complete this prosecution, that will make no difference. Those engaged In it's furtherance will never be hampered by lack of funds, no matter what the bill may be.
 The work of Investigating will not l, 1Ai eT ness has been fully exposed. We fully expect to land behind the bars of the penitentlary every giver of bribes, and the higher up the offender, the more viforaus will be his pursuit.
 We do not, however, expect to send very bribe taker to prison. Some of the miserable men who sold themselves to the corporations must be granted immunity for their testimony, which is worth q great deal more to us as evil dence of the guilt of high corporation officials than their own incarceration would be.
 Every department of the city and county government will be thoroughly examined into before the investigation is completed, the police department along with the others. No one will be neglected, no set of officials will be overlooked
 Since the arrest of Abraham Ruef at the Trocadero a month ago, rumors have been rife that an attempt would be made to rescue him by force from Elisor Biggy, either during a session of court of while Ruef was going tt court.
 An officer prominent in the bribery investigation said to-day:
 Every man openly identified with the prosecution with bribery charges is armed and some of the more promin' ent are employing body guards. For month, we have been keeping a specia lookout for an attempted rescue oi iRuef and we shall be happily sur prised if these investigations and i'm pending prosecutions end without z physical encounter.
 Several times when Ruef was 1T Judge Dunne's court, a sudden move ment of reckless men toward thu prisoner has been checked quickly ant ouite1y by officers of the prosecution.
 we know that should Ruef be res oued, it would not be difficult thint to hide him securely right in Sal Francisco. The prosecution knows this an dis taking no chances.
 "Fach one of Biggy's seven guard are instructed, in the event of a serious attempt at rescue by force, either il court or elsewhere to shoot Ruef ant turn their attention to the liberator afterward. Ruef has been acquainted with these orders

Only Fourteen Companies of c. N. G.
 to be Encamped With Regulars.
 Washington, Mar. 29.-As far as the attendance of state militia at the joint encampments this summer is concern ed, General Murray, chief of artillery, is now assured by the responses re- ceived from the governors and adiutant generals of the states having militia organizations that this novel project IS sure to be a great success. The gover- nor of California has just notified the war department of the acceptance of the invitation to the joint drills and has asked that provision be made for the participation of all of the 52 militia infantry companies in the state. The war department had proposed to enter tain only 37 companies at the outside. General Murray to-day wrote the gov ernor of California, proposing that the 15 additional companies be encamped by the state at it's own expense in the neighborhood of the regular posts when they will be given an opportunity to take some part in the joint movement of the regulars and the militia
 He also sent a similar communication to the governor of Connecticut, which state asked him to provide for 99 com panies. The post commanders in Con necticut and in California will be in- structed to prepare programs for the joint drills that will afford ample em- ployment for the surplus militia com panies if they care to accept the sug- gestion to emcamp near the posts.
