CLEAN RECORD MARRIED.
First Collision Occurs on London Un-
derqround Road.

London, Oct. 2S.-Three persons
were killed and a dozen injured in a
rearend collision at the West Hamp-
stead station of the Metropolitan I'm
derground railroad. The rear train, it
appears, ran past the signals in a fog
and crashed into a train standing at
the station.
This is the first accident of the
kind since the London lines were cleo
trified, when a system of electric sig
mailing was installed which the COM
pany claimed would absolutely pre-
clude the possibility of such catas-
trophe. 49,
The Metropolitan has had a remark
able record of immunity from fatali-
ties. This is said to be the first acct
dent resulting in the death of pas
senger, although 800 ,00O,0O0,0OO peo-
pie have been carried since the open
ing of the road.

TO REMEDY SITUATION
Important Steps Taken by New
York Financial Interests
CONDITIONS MORE NORMAL

As a Precautionary Measure Clearing
house Authorizes Issue Of Loan Ger
tificates and Gold ImportatIons Are
Arranged For.
New York, Oct 2S.-The stock ex-
change and the banks closed for the
DAY without any further failures of
Importance, with considerable i'm
provement in the stock market and
with several important remedial
measures taken or agreed upon to
strengthen the financial situation. The
only reverse Of the day was the sus-
pension Of the Terminal bank, Brook
lyn, a new and small institution with
out any Importance in the general
financial world Already arrangements
for the importation Of gold are well
under way and it is hoped this will
furnish the relief needed. 1t Is I'm.
derstood that the treasury department
will, as heratofore, advance the gold
for immediate use SO as to save the
time occupied in transit from Eu-
rope
Meanwhile, as precautionary
measure, although not regarded vitality
essential, the clearinghouse has au-
thorized the issuance Of loan certif-
Gates. This means that the clearing
house banks are to present united
front in this emergency and that the
aggregate resources of all of them are
to be pledged for the maintenance Of
each.
The runs upon the Trust Company
Of America and the Lincoln Trust COM
pany continued in very much abated
form, but both institutions met all de-
mands.
The drafts of country banks on their
New York reserves We're heavy but
not alarming, since at this period Of
the year such drafts are to be ex-
pected for the purpose of moving the
crops.
The imposition Of the ninety days
rule in Rhode Island stopped runs
there and matters assumed normal
phase.
The stock market opened at an
advance and showed little symptoms
Of serious agitation. London and
other foreign points also gave reas-
surfing advices. The rate Of exchange
was such as to facilitate gold imports
and confidence abroad was evidenced
by the improved tone of all foreign
bourses, the only weakness apparent
ly being the result of a failure in Con-
stantinople and the financial crisis in
Chile.

DEFENDS ROOSEVELT
Commissioner Clark Addresses
Traffic Club at Chicago.
POLICY WILL BE CONTINUED

Railroads Must Be Run More In the
Interests Of the People and Less for
Wall Street in Order to Avoid Gov.
eminent Operation.
Chicago, Oct. 2S.-"If the railroads
and the corporations claim the square
deal they must be willing to give a
square deal. The president wants
neither more nor less from citizen,
official, corporation, state or nation
than that which is right, just and
fair"
This declaration was made by E. E.
Clark, member Of the interstate COM
MERGE commission, at a dinner given
by the Traffic club of Chicago and at
which he vigorously defended the
presidential policy and insisted We
hemently that it must continue to the
end. Mr.. Clark was the principal
speaker and the subject under discus.
sion was the prosy one of Gar Eli
the occasion, however, to issue an
emphatic warning not only to the rail-
roads but to the shippers and to the
industrial and commercial interests Of
the country generally. The men who
listened to the message, so full Of
great import, were men who had made
commercial and traffic history both as
officials Of railroads and Of industrial
corporations.
In his. peroration Commissioner
Clark sent broadsides into the ranks
of presidential critics and placed this
estimate upon the chief executive:
History will write Theodore Roose-
welt as one of the nations immortal
executives, who in his day saved the
republic from impending destruction"
The commissioner took occasion to
deplore the high finance" with which,
he insisted, the majority of our rail-
roads is tainted; declared that it was
time the railroads were run for the
street; excoriated the railroads for
not better meeting the demands of
increasing tonnage; blamed the ship
pers for not having kept pace in the
matter of facilities with increasing
business; Indignantly denied that the
presidential policy had contributed to
the present financial furry; sang the
gospel Of cooperation between the
railroads, the shippers and the ad-
ministration as sweetly and eloquent
ly as Edward H. Hartman ever sang
1t and warned the railroads that If
they did not relieve car shortage with
car efficiency the government would
have to take hand in the operation
of railways.

GOVERNMENT GIVES AID.
Russian Westinghouse Company Will
Continue Business.

Continue Business.
st. Petersburg, Oct. t2S.-Owing to
the embarrassment of two of the
American Westinghouse companies
and the cessation of financial support
from them the municipality of St. Pc.
tersburg has come to the assistance
Of the Russian Westinghouse COM
pany and has given assurances to
General Manager Smith that pay
ments on the electric street railroad
contract will be fastened so as to
prevent stoppage Of the work. The
situation for time was critical, as
instead of a remittance Of $125,0OG
expected from America this week the
Westinghouse people advised Mr..
Smith that the Russian company
would have to depend entirely on it's
own resources. A stoppage Of work
at the big Moscow factory might have
precipitated grave labor troubles
There are funds enough in sight now
to meet the obligations.
