Conferences at White House.

nouncement that as a means OF afford
ing relief to the financial situation.

Panama bonds and 500, OuO, 900 certif-
icates of ebtcdness. or so much
thereof as may be necessary. The
certificates will run for one year and
will bear 3 per cent interest.
The secretary's action in coming to
the relief of the financial situation
meets with President Roosevclt's
hearty approval and the plan is the
outcome OF the several White House
conferences which have been held
within the past few days, when the
financial situation was under Consid-
Grafton.
Secretary CortolyOu says that the
Panama bonds will afford most sub
stantial relief. as the law provides
that they may be used as "a basis for
additional national bank circulation.
II" also states that the proceeds from
the sale OF certificates can be made
directly available at points WnerC the
nCCd is most urgent and especially Tor
the movement OF crops. which, he
says. IF properly accelerated will give
the greatest relief and result in the
most immediate financial returns
The secretary calls attention to the
attraCtivencSs of the bonds and certif.
icates as abs %ulutcly safe investments
Secretary Cortciyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him tC

withdrawing for that purpose any ap
probable mount Of public moneys

rcncy measure which will meet in
permanent fashion the needs OF the
situation, ana which. | believe, will be
passed AT az early date after congress

The president also calls attention
To what is needed most at this time is
that the people should realize how
Fundamentally sound business condi
tons in this country are. and how alb
surd it is to permit themselves tC
get into Il panic and create "a strin
gcncy by boarding their savings in

Principal Issues.

Chicago, March 29.-The local
campaigns throughout the middle west
are nearing a close. Early In the
coming week the spring elections Will
be held throughout Illinois, Michigan
Missouri, Wisconsin, Kansas and a
number of other states in this part OF
the country. In Chicago the mayor
atty contest is one of more than or
binary interest, the street railway
franchises being the issue at stake
In neither the large or smaller
cities, according to report, will broad
party issue cut much figure In the
elections. Everywhere there are indi-
cations that prohibition and reform
are the chief issues in the municipal
contests, this being true to a grea'
extent apparently than has ever be-
| fore been the case.

HEBREWS OBSERVE PASSOVER.
Commemorate an Ancient Special
DiSntnsatlOn.

New York. March 29.-Matzoths
appear upon the table of every ortho-
dox Hebrew this evening, when the
Feast of the Passover begins, and for
eight days the faithful are debarred
from using leavened food and ferment-
ed liquors.
"Pasach." the Feast of the Pass
over, Is in commemoration of the night
when the Lord, shifting the first-born
of the Egyptians, passed over the
houses of the Children of Israel the
celebration Is always held during the
full moon of the month known as MIS-
san.
There is much ceremony connected
with the Seder, or opening festivity
this evening, and there Is ceremony
also in connection with cleansing the
homes. storing away the ordinary
table and kitchen utensils, so that
the ones dedicated to service for the
Passover time may not be contami-
mated. There are hundreds of quaint
observances in connection with the
festival. but the best known feature
is the unleavened bread-matzoth-
the baking OF which has kept hun
dreds of people employed for many
months in about 40 bakeries In the
metropolis.
One large establishment on the eas
side turns out for the Passover sea-
son about 100000 pounds of mat
10th and matzoth meal, which is made
by pulverizing the matzoth, and II
used instead of flour all through th'
Passover time. This concern sells IL
product not only to consumers ant
dealers in this city, but sends matzotl
to all parts of the United States, an
large quantities to Cuba, Porto Ric
and South America
In many OF the Jewish homes tn
unleavened bread is placed on tn
table only as syd,bol, and In tn
homes of all the reformed Jews hrea
is not entirely dispensed with In Pass

Jews the custom to use nothing bt

CLEWS BLAMES
SPECTATORS
RAILROADS HAVE DIS
REGARDED PUBLIC OPINION
Collapse of Stocks Caused by Excess
sivc Plunging of the Speculators-
Disregard for Public Opinion Has
Caused Slump OF the Big Securities
But the Plungers Arc to Blame.

Henry Clews, the guardian and
censor of Wall street, in his weekly
letter 10 the East Oregonian writes
Interestingly of the situation In the
financial centers as a result OF the
excessive speculation of the past SIX
months. He says:
Last weeks collapse on the Stock
exchange left the stock market III an
unsettled and feverish condition. That
disaster was partly the result of
economic conditions and partly the
result of a break in the huge specu-
lativc movements inaugurated In the
last quarter of 1906.
whe large dividend payments on
Union and Southern Pacific, whlch
excited so much comment at the time
were the basis of extraordinary spec
ulative operations conducted simul'
taneously in London and New York
The parties conducting these opera
tions were highly successful in their
earliest stages; and large quantities
of these stocks bought at low prices
were profitably distributed during
the first part of the campaign In Doth
the domestic and foreign markets
subsequently, however, these oper-
ations we're not entirely successful
because large amounts of y stocks
were still held by the leaders and
their friends for which only very
limited market could be found out
side of their own buying and selling
to each other. The public as
whole had kept out of the market
with unusual persistency; the vide
spread distrust created by the ex-
posures of high finance and the strin-
gency In money being unquestionably
.he chief causes Of this reticence.
The strain on the leaders was in
tense, and was seriously aggravated
by high rates for money. The pres
sure Of the railroads for new capita
and the tremendous outpouring OF
short-term notes after January ]
proved to be the last straw In
situation of such tension only mod
crate shock of some sort was neces
sary to precipitate a collapse. Suci
a shock came ostensibly through th'
rising hostility of state Legislatures
towards the railroads.
Railrcnd managers and the head
of large corporations became seri
ously alarmed at this aggressive atti
tudc. For this they had thcmselve
chiefly to blame, owing to past mis-
deeds and prolonged disregard
public opinion. With confidence II
the stability of values weakened
first by the fear of natural reaction
and second by fear of political retri
bution--a situation was created tha

lapse which occurred a week ago.
