WAY OF HAz|AG

Washington, Nov. 7.--Asslstant Secre-
tary Beekman Winthrop. ar the treasury
department. who is one OF the best play
ers In the tennis cabinet" has been In
itiated into the group OF President Roose-
velts favorites From time To time he
has played tennis on the court back OF
the White House office, but not until Ss/.
urday was he taken into the inner circle
of the presidents official family.
Saturday was rainy day In Washing
ton, and this was probably why the presl-
dent chose IL for the hazing OF Mr. Win
throp. The president delights I'm rain. lie
would rather take walk In n downpour
than I'm the sunshine. He says IL is good
for him, and from time to time he tries II
on his friends. SO he planned a walk on
Saturday and then ran over his list of
friends for victim and finally thought OF
Mr. Winthrop, and the invitation was
telephoned TO him
Leaving the White House at 4 o'clock in
a carriage, they were driven briskly up
Seventeenth street to the outskirts OF the
city and the excursion began. Mr.. Win
throp did not start out with silk hat and
patent leather shoes, as did Secretary Ba-
con recently. but he took neither raincoat
nor umbrella, and both were wet TO the
skin before the carriage ride had ended
and the walk began.
Plunging off into the woods of Rock
creek Park. the president led Mr.. Win
throp on such walk as only the pres-
dent knows how to take. Up wild path
ways, sliding down wet hillsides. holding
on by branches. and across country for
ten miles the excursion continued until
Mr.. Winthrop was gasping for breath.
and with raindrops dripping from his
neatly trimmed Van Dyke, was ready 10
drop. Then by way OF fitting finish TO
the contest the president led the way go
Rock creek and plunged over the bank in
to the stream waist deep, crossing To the
other side. Here Mr.. Winthrop hesitated.
but with a last remaining atom OF
strength and courage he followed his
chief and gained the other side, where
the president. laughing. sent him home
for dry clothes and a rest.

BIG FUND RAISED
FOR MOVING GRAIN

New York. Nov. Tin the financial dis
trict yesterday II was stated that certain
banking and railroad interests had sue
ceeded in raising fund of several mil
lions for the purpose of rendering assist
ance to the Northwest In facilitating the
grain movement. which has been in a
state OF paralysis since the banks I'm the
agricultural centres were forced to refuse
advances to shippers and grain mer-
chants.
1t was noticeable, however. that inter-
ests identified with the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroads were about
the only ones that would discuss the for
nation OF the money pool TO help the
Northwest. Representatives of other
western railway systems said the project
was impracticable and were inclined to
doubt the genuineness OF the movement.
James J. Hill came TO this city last
week for the purpose OF raising money
TO aid the farmers on his arrival Mr..
Hill said TO a reporter: "Our two railroads
have $40. 900, 900 in cash. and II is our in
tention To help out the situation In the
Northwest by advancing at least 5000, ,OOG
I'm aiding the grain movement In st. Paul,
Duluth Minneapolis and other Western
centres they are beginning TO realize now
that money stringency In Wall street
ultimately makes its effect felt In this
West. a fact which they were inclined 10
doubt before"
Aside from this statement OF Mr. Hill S
that the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific would advance 100000 to grain
shippers, no figures could be obtained as
To the amount OF money raised to relieve
the money stringency in the granger
states.
Western railroad men admitted that the
grain movement was still halted, and the
only hope for improvement they could see
was In some concerted action taken by
western banks TO adopt a basis of credit
on which grain shipments could be made.
