 threatened disaster" in the financial and railroad world.
 It can be stated authoritatively how ever. that President Roosevelt will not change his attitude toward the rail- roads. thought 1t 1t admitted that the administration has no intention of en- tering in an extremely radical attack upon the railroad corporations.
 While 1t is known that the visit of J. P. Morgan to the White House last Monday nigh to induce the President to issue a re-assuring statement to the country in regard to the adminis- tration's attitude towards the railroad corporations, and the apparent failure of the financier's appeal, has had much to do with the panicky conditions that swept over Wall Street today, Pres ident Roosevelt has repeatedly said that he is not an enemy of the railroads and those that obey the laws have nothing to fear from the government.
 While 1t has not been definitely de- cided, the President may issue state ment outlining his attitude after he has conferred with Presidents McCrea, MeIlin and Hughitt on the railroad sit- uation.
 The conference with the four railroad magnates which was granted by the President at the earnest request or J. P. Morgan, will be held the early part of next week, it is generally under stood by those close to the President tha tthe railway officials will urge MT. Roosevelt to take some steps to "allay the public anxiety now threatening to obstruct railroad investments and con struction and as to the relations be- tween the railroads and the govern ment."
 Since MT. Morgan's hurried trip to the White House, the President mas held numerous conferences with Shalt- man Knapp and members of the Inter state Commerce Commission, in order that he may be in better position to present the administrators side of the question when he meets the raiiroau Presidents next week.
 The administration is firmly con vfnced that the great unrest In the | financial circles has been brought on by the arguments advanced by the railroad interests In trying to prevent 1 hostile Legislation in the various States and by the attitude that the Federal Government has taken to en- force the laws regarding the common carriers. E. H. Hartman. when he was in this city recently, and President A.B' Stfckney of the Chicago and Great Western, who called at the White House today, have expressed the same opinion that in his interviews with the members of the Interstate Commerce. Commission the President is fortifying
 himself with all the facts that that body has disclosed during its various investigations.
 In ithis way he will be able to meet argument with argument and fact with fact. The President. it Is known. taxes the same position assumed when ne sent his message to Congress last De- cember and called attention to the tact that during the last five months
 within which the new law was opera tive at that time. the railroads nave shown increased earnings and some oi them unusual dividends,
 This, the President believes, refutes the claims of the railroads at the time that the new law would ruin them and

 The impression prevails that the testimony of E. H.

 Tribute to Roosevelt.

Tribute to Roosevelt.
 Boston. March 14.--Wflliam J. Bryan arrived at Boston this afternoon and tonight made an address at Fremont Temple At the conclusion of this ad- dress, Mir. Bryan spoke to Harvard students at the Harvard Union.
 After paying his respects to Governok Guild this afternoon, Mir. Bryan visited the Legislature where he was intro- duced by Speaker John N. Cold as ''a distinguished American citizen"
 .I am private citizen" Mir. Bryan remarked and then added "and can prove that I have excellent prospects for retaining the distinction"
 He spoke at some length of the rate Legislation in Congress, and declared that the tardtness in procuring the nnai rate bill with its amendments was good illustration of the influence that tion in this country. He believed that the tendency today is toward @ murs strict control of corporations, but hes did not think that this meant evil fer. the investors.
 It means" declared Mir. Bryan. sthat the natural man whom God made ahaib not always be trampled upon by the man-lnade giant that the Le8islatAfe has created.
 "It was no wonder" said he, that President Roosevelt had cried ntk against swollen fortunes and against the idea of their descending from gen~ eration to generation.
 Those against whom the President inveighed are those who are not givina a service that is at all measured by the money they receive.
 Mir Bryan expressed his conviction that the masses are not sufficiently pro-. tected in the product of their toll He took occasion again to thank President question.

 Briefly the plan is for permanent deliberafive body In which all nations will be represented. to crystalize the best sentiment of the world into rules of international law. The treaty of arbitration is 10 empower the Hague court to say when these rules have been violated in clearly defined area,
 Controversies not falling within this area are to be reserved for trial py armed forces. only hostilities are not to commence until the good offices of friendly powers have been asked by the disputants in vain, or until dis puted questions of fact have been ex- anined in the light of evidence by an international commission.

emphasizes the fact that rate legieia- tion, either by Federal or State GOV ernments, is not the cause of the pres ent panicky conditions.
 The President, too. has referred sig nificantly to another part of the mes sage. n which he said;
 "It must rot be supposed, however, that with the passage of these laws 1t will be possible to stop progress along the line of increasing the power of the National Government over the use or capital in interstate commerce" Tn pointing out these and other pas sages from his recent messages to those with whom he has talked, the Presi- dent has indicated that he has taken no backward steps in his views as to the advisability of making the regula- tions and laws still stronger along certain lines.
 Although believing that the condi- tions in New York are due to nothing for which the administration is respon- everything that consistently can be done to give relief to the money mar. ket. The order issued to Secretary cortelyou yesterday; folilowsd, 5y y. ,la tht of large sums belonging to the govern. ment and provides the way for the use of additional funds in Wall Street. Tho Withdraw the additional deposits put In the banks last October amounting .ts s30, ,000. 900. Today Mir.
