Whatever may be the decision OF
President Roosevelt as to the site for
the Grant memorial after his conference
with Gen Grenviue NJ Dodge, chair
man of the Grant memorial commission,
any departure from the plan OF the
commission to place it at the foot Of
the Capitol at the opposite end OF the
Mall from the Monument, viii be deeply
regretted by many prominent architects
and real estate men. who have the
Identification OF the city at heart.
The Illustration Of the comprehensive
plans of the park commission even now
has aroused the most bitter resentment
amony many citizens, who are bold
enough 10 express their views and
whose opinions upon matters of art are
authoritative.
It is the park commissions plan, and
the opinion of notable architects in
dorses it, to do away entirely not only
with few trees in the Botanic Gardens.
but the whole gardens themselves. This
space is absolutely essential TO the
whole Mall scheme. anu If it is ever to
be executed. the present Botanic Gar
dens must give way to the more mag
nihcent Union square. In the center Of
Not only the Botanic Gardens, but the
triangle between B street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue is included.
VIII Go to Roosevelt.
The American Institute Of Architects
has become so aroused over the ap-
parent attempt to make tbs plans of
the Park Commission for the most mag
nihcent Capital City in the world i'm

Washington chapter announced that all
pressure would be brought to bear TO
conserve them and TO put before Presi-
dent Roosevelt information that would
enable him 10 reach a just decision
about the location of the Grant Me-
mortal
The idea that the preservation of a
few trees must interfere with the plans
seems to them unworthy of considera-
ton, and il is hinted that the uproar
about historical trees in danger ef
the woodman's ak is but a pretext to
save the OBtaniC Gardens in their
present location and condition. for, it
is said, if the sentiment against the re,

to prevent the placing OF the memorial
on the site selected, it viii have the
effect OF so disarranging the Mall plan
that the gardens would De allowed to re-
main as they are indefinitely.
To strengthen this belief It IS said
that no ono seems to have known of the
so-called historical trees until atten-

letter to the President on the subject,
said:

Editor Truth,
Dear Sir:
Permit me a
small space in your spicy, truthful
and up-to-date publication. You hit
the nail squarely on the head in your
last issue, when in the head lines OF
an article about the A. c. College
you christened our local papers here
as "the knockers of Cache County"
They are still knocking, insulting
and doing all in their power to be-
little DIR. Widtsoe, the board and all
who sympathize with them, or in any
way intimate that they are friendly
to the new president, board or facul-
ty. The dirty filings in The Journal
do not make them many friends. In
its last issue it belched forth the fol-
lowing personal insult; cdr. J. A.

it's. In short, unrestrained COMPETE
ton kept even the mighty trust COM
panies in hazardous condition. So
they took dose of paternalism, pro-
curing a law that required all trust
companies to keep the modest cash
reserve of five per cent of their de-
posits.
The trust companies now have over
fifty-five millions of cash on hand.
This strengthens the whole banking
position in New York. Everybody is
glad.

nights train, and the local members
of his faculty were summoned to
meet him at the Commercial club
last night. Whether or not he rode
into town on the blind baggage and
came up town by back street is not
known"
In every issue something is pub
lished that seems to have for its OBJ
ject the destruction of the A. c. Col
lege. In this county, however, where
the rule or ruin policy of The Jour
nal is so well known, it has no effect,
and but very few of the crankiest
soreheads sympathze VIII its dis
graceful tacktics.
The great trouble seems to be it
has lost its power. The new board
has as yet failed to consult it upon
the policy to be pursued, or the per-
sonnet of the faculty, and other i'm
portant matters pertaining to the
general welfare of the institution.
This new board seems to have
good stiff backbones, and doesn't pur-
pose to be bamboozled by any 2x4
3o-cent fault-fnders. If these papers
and their sympathizers had the well
fare of the college at heart they
would cease grumbling and growing.
What is done, they, with all their
kicks cannot undo. All friends of the

motto.

Wall Street as a Victim.


When Wall Street is mentioned
many persons get geographical fact
in their minds. This is rather I'M

acres situate in the lower part of
Manhattan Island.
For example, recent statement
shows that the net deposits held by
the two largest banks in New York
are nearly hundred million dollars
less than two years ago. This is
partly due to changed general con-
ditions. But it is due even more to
the growing practice among import
ant interior banks of lending to the
stock market direct, instead of
through their New York correspon-
dents.
Formerly the interior banks simp-
ly deposited surplus funds in the New
York banks. Now very many of them
employ such funds directly in maxi
ing Stock Exchange loans, and the
New York banks no longer have any
control over such funds. A too gen.
crous extension of credit to stock
market speculations is one of the sins
of the Street," but New York
banks cannot correct this nowadays
except with he cooperation of those
in the interior.
We hear some congratulations over
the bettered state of the New York
trust companies, as disclosed by their
last reports. These trust companies
taken as a whole, form the most pow
erful financial unit in the country.
Their aggregate resources reach
billion and quarter. Even more
than the banks, they are chief full
crum of high finance. Yet they used
to be source of anxious concern to
conservative minds. Liable, on de-
mand, for deposits amounting to hun

RECEIVER FOR

CONCERN ACCUSED OF FRAUDU.
LENT USE OF MAILS DECLAR-
ED BANKRUPT.
HEARING ON FRAUD CHARGE

st. Paul, July 9. - The Wisconsin
Grain and Stock company OF st. Paul,
which is defendant in the suits
brought by the United States govern
ment for alleged fraudulent use of the
mails, was placed in the hands of a
receiver Saturday afternoon.
Judge William Lochren of the fed
eral circuit court signed the papers
early in the afternoon, appointing
Ashley Coffman of St. Paul receiver.
The appointment was made as the
result of a bill in equity filed in the
United States circuit court by Will
liam J. HaggersOn of Bessemer, Mich,
asking thai the company's business
be wound up.
Plaintiff LOST $4,000.
Bessemer is one of the points in
which the company conducted branch
Offices. Haggerson vas a patron of
this particular Office and alleged that
he lost $4,000.
His bill asserts that the company
has been conducting a business pure
ly on a bucket shop basis, M that in
so doing they charged commissions
and interest on fictitious transactions.
The grain company will have a
chance to answer at the next term of
the United States circuit court in St.
Paul, which is the first Monday in Au.
gust.
Company's Methods Revealed.
Interesting testimony bearing on
the charges in Haggerson's bill was
given before United States Court
Commissioner Charles l.. Spencer in
the governments case against the
Wisconsin Grain and Stock company
for alleged misuse of the mails. Paul
E. Ewert, assistant United States dis
trict attorney, examined H. V. Moore,
for three years up to November, 1906,
a member of the Superior board of
trade. His testimony in part was that
l.. A. Wood had hired Moore, who is
a young man, and given him 500 to
use in trading on the Superior board.
Moore became a member of the Supe.
rior board, but never paid a cent for
the membership. He did not know of
any one else paying for his seat.
No Delivery Made.
Moore testified that he purchased
thousands Of dollars worth of stocks
and grains of which no delivery was
made. He said the transactions were
s o evenly balanced that they were
liquidated by the process of setting
off or ringing off, as it is called, so
that 10 deliveries were called for.
Moore said that he considered the

RATE FIGHT IN
FEDERAL COURT
HEARING ON APPLICATION TO
RESTRAIN ENFORCEMENT
OF NEW RATES.
ATTORNEY GENERALS STATUS

st. Paul, July 1O.-arguments on
the application OF stockholders of rail
roads doing business in Minnesota for
a temporary injunction to restrain
the enforcement of the commodity
rate and 2-cent passenger rate laws
enacted by the last Legislature and
the merchandise rate schedule put in
force through an order of the state
railroad and warehouse commission
last September were made by counsel
for the state n the stockholders be-
fore Judge William Lochren of the
United States circuit court yesterday,
and will be resumed at 10 O'Clock this
morning. The question as to the rea-
sOnableness of the rates was not
reached yesterday, but the greater
part of the day was taken up with the
proposition whether the attorney gen
eral can be made a party to the suits.
Attorney Generals Status.
At the opening of the proceedings
yesterday morning Judge Lochren de-
/ the motion of Attorney General
Young that the suits be dismissed on
the alleged ground that they consti-
tute an action against the state, and
that the complaint does not state sui
iclent cause Of action. Then the ar
gument proceeded on the question of
issuing an injunction, and the phase
of the question that was argued was
whether an injunction should be is
sued against the attorney general.
The attorneys for the state contended
that a suit against the attorney gen
eral is a suit against the state, while
the attorneys for the railroad stock
holders argued against hat PROPOSE
ton.
Some Suits Withdrawn.
1t was announced in court that the
action brought by the attorney gen.
eral to enforce the commodity rate
schedule ordered by the railroad and
warehouse commission and the suits
of the railroads to restrain the en-
forcement of hat schedule will be
dropped. That schedule is superseded
by the schedule embodied in the law
passed by the legislature, and drop
ping those suits will clear the slate of
everything except the actions involv-
ed in the present hearing.
