Washington, D. c. March l5-Emin- ant fnanciers, particularly those al- lied closely with Wall street specula- tion and the railroad interests, are pouring in letters and messages to President Roosevelt imploring him to take action to avert the threatened dis sster.

 The president himself is said to be of the opinion that only speculative interests are involved and will adhere tohis plans for further railroad regu- Iations by the government.
