Washington March 14.-For more than
fOTty-eight hours the White House and
treasury department have been flooded
with appeals for President Roosevelt and
Secretary Cortelyou TO take some action
20 avert the Threatened disaster in the
financial and railroad world. 1t can he
stated authoritatively. however that
President Roosevelt will not change mis-
attitude toward the railroads, though II
is admitted that the administration mas no
intention of entering on an extremely rad
ical attack on the railway corporations.
While it is known that the visit of }.
PierpOnt Morgan to the White House last
Monday night to induce the president TO
issue a reassuring statement to the con-
try in regard to the administration atti-
tude toward the railroads. and the aDpar-
ent failure of the financier's appeal. has
had much to do with the pSnicky condi-
tions that swept over Wall street today,
President Roosevelt has repeatedly said
that he is not an enemy of the railroads,
and that those that obey the laws have
nothing to fear from the government.

While it has not been definitely de-
Cided the president may issue a statement
outlining his attitude after he has con-
ferred with Presidents McCred. Newman,
MelIen and Hughitt on the railroad sit

magnates. which was granted by the pres
ident at the earnest request of Mr.. Nor
gan. will be held early next week 1t is
generally understood by those close 10 the
president that the railway officials will
urge Mr.. Roosevelt 10 take some steps Ito

to obstruct railroad investments and con-

the railroads and the government.

Numerous Conferences.

Since Mr.. Morgan's hurried trip to the
White House. the president has held nu-
merOus conferences with Chairman Knapp
and members of the interstate commerce
commission in order that he may be IN a
better position to present the administra-
TONS side of the question when he meets
the railroad presidents next week.
The administration is firmly convinced
that the great unrest in financial circles
has been brought on by the arguments
advanced by the railroad interests in try
ing to prevent hostile legislation" in the
various states and not by the attitude that
the federal government has taken to en-
force the laws regulating the common car

Making Sure of His Facts.

the interstate commerce commission, the
president is terrifying himself with re-
gard to all the facts that body has dis
closed during its various investigations.
In this way he will be able to meet argu-
ment with argument and fact for fact.
The president. it is known, takes the same
position assumed when he sent his mes
sage to congress last December and called
attention to the fact that during the last
five MONTHS within which the new law
was operative at that time. ''the railroads
have shown increased earnings and some
Of them unusual dividends" This. the
president believes. refutes the claims of
the railroads at the time that the new
law would ruin them. and emphasizes the
fact that rate legislation either by federal
OF state governments is not the cause %
the present panicl1y conditions.

No Backward Steps.

The president. too. has referred signifi-

which he said. 1t must not be supposed.
however that with the passage of these
laws IL will be possible to stop progress
along the line of increasing the power of
the national government over the use of
capital in Interstate commerce. In
pointing out these and other passa ges
from his recent message to those with
whom he has talked. the president has in
Dictated that he has taken 70 back ward
steps in his views as to the advisa bility of
making the regulations and laws still
stronger along certain lines.

in New York are due to nothing for which
the administration is responsible the pres

another year. and raised the salary cf
all in the corps. Hereafter the mini

reveive $50, and the principals of ward
schools vii receive $65. The matter
of high school and special teachers
will be considered next Tuesday even

Presidents Day.

Monday afternoon, April Is, the Cur

study of French history.
Commencing with ancient Gaul, and
including In the last study topic Louis
XIV and his court, dwelling at some
length upon the literature, the cathed-
erals, the art and artists and the great
characters, he makers of history dur
ing this period, the program committee
had fittingly inscribed upon the last
page Of the program line from

held at the home of the president. Mrs

The house was gay with the beauti-
full flags of the sister republics, Ameri-
ca and France. Mrs. Van Dusen had
chosen for her program resume of
the literature of the French people
from the 18th to the 10th centuries,
dwelling particularly upon the bal
lads of the troubadours and the song
stories Of the trouveres, the minstrels
of northern France, the chronicles of
Froissart and the poems of Ronsard
and others.
Provencal song is beautiful Curl
osity of literature.
There, are but few manuscripts in
existence and the language itself is
almost obsolete.
To Andrew Lang are we indebted
for the artistic translation of that
most delightful song-story romance,
Ancassin and Nicolete."
The ballads were read by Mrs. West
and Mrs. Van Dusen and the poem or
story itself, half prose, half verse, was
given in a charming manner by Mrs.
Adrill Crawford
Other short poems and ballads were
read by Mrs. Parkill, Wrs. Williams
and Mrs. Davis, and each member
gave a French quotation. Delicious
refreshments were served and each
member received, as a souvenir, an
exquisite water color picture, The

Grover Brown. Trouble.

Grover Brown, a Grand Trunk fire.
man, was arrested the first of the week
and lodged i'll jail ON complaint of
Jeweler James Walton, of Durand, who
charges him with the larceny of a forty
seven dollar railroad watch.
Walton claims that Brown bought the
watch on contract and had paid very
little upon it, but that he took it to De-
troit and pawned it. Walton went to
Detroit when he learned this from the
officer to whom Brown had told it, and
redeemed the watch by the payment Of
five dollars. u
Brown is about 81 years of age, and
is recent addition to the Grand Trunk
forces. He is not a drinking man and
the reason for his alleged act is puz-
zlng the officers, especially as thoSsum
obtained was SO small.
