 Secretary Cortelyou shares the view that the general money situation throughout the country, and especial ly in New York. is steadily improving. Although he is adverse to making any public statement on the subject, 1t Is known that he views the situation with far greater equanimity than at any time during the last ten days From the first he has realized that the nreatest consequence might result from a general impairment of public conf dance In the financial situation of the country and he has not hesitated to make immediate use of the great re- sources of the United States Treasury to check the apprehension manifested last week.
 During the last several days he de- uosited in the national banks a sum approximating $50, 0,000,000, and since early in September, when the Secretary began his weekly distributions, nearly a7O. coo 900 has been deposited, which brings the amount of public funds now Sn the national banks up to over S21b.- 0oO .O0o. of which about $12.500.000 has been deposited to the credit. of Govern ment distributing officers.

SENATOR JOHNSTON
 RETURNS TO MOBILE

Mobile. oct as.-United States Sena- tor Joseph F. Johnston returned 10 Mobile early tonight from Fort MOT gan where he went yesterday to m spect the work of repairing the storm of last year.
 The Senator Is enthusiastic over the improvements that have been made and are under way, and is in hearty sympathy with those proposed 10 pc undertaken. His study of the bay ana channel, he says. has made him even stronger in his opinion that the port of Mobile is suffering from needless handidaps that the expenditure or few thousands of dollars would elimin- ate. thereby making of this city the greatest of Gulf ports and throwing onen the way for tho largest ships afioat in these waters.
 Tonight the Senator Is being enter tained at an informal supper by Col. iE [. Russell, ce-President of the Mobile and ohio Railroad. The ban ouet by the Joint Rivers and Harbors Committee of Mobile will be given at tba Cawthon Hotel tomorrow night Sollowing an all-day inspection of the water front and volume of commerce enjoyed by Mobile.

TAYLOR AT CAPITAL
MOBILE CONGRESSMAN SEES THE
 PRESIDENT
He Is On His Way To Panama and Answers Many Questions As To
 Prohibition In
 Alabama. t'4

Washington, D. C.. Oct. 2s-(Specia1) Among the Presidents callers today was Representative TaYlor. who, as a minority member of the House Appro- priations Committee will accompany Chairman Tawney and most of the committee to Panama to carefully study conditions relative to future -appropria- tions for the canal.
 MT. Taylor is looking well, and looks forward with much interest to the trip. although all the Conzressman who comprising the party realize that it will be no picnic while they are on the Isthmus.
 The canal oficials are calling for a great many millions at the next session of Congress and those who prepare the appropriations wish to keep them down to the lowest limit without delaying construction.
 On account of the Birmingham cleo ton yesterday, MT Taylor had to an- every man he met today regarding the
 .wet' and "dry" factions in Alabama.
 He expressed the opinion that Mobile was not likely to vote dry" and ex- plained to some of his questtoners that that city diners from Birmingham be- cause it Is made up chiefly of city pop ulation while Jefferson County has large rural and village popniation'
 MT. Taylor also said he doubted if Alabama would yet adopt State prohib- ition. He thinks the local option laws will be allowed to take care Of the sit nation for the present.
 Mr. Taylor will leave New York Thursday for Panama.
 The leading lights preparing for battle before Congress 10 aooish sa Icons In the District of Columbia are fairly wild over the Birmingham re- suit. Several have already predicted tbat Montgomery and Mobile Will ul- tinately join the prohibition process sion. They are looking to Congress- man Craig of the Selma district 10 greatly aid them in their contest as +he,, have glowing reports of several hills on the subject he expects 10 lh- troduce early in the session. Not only the anti i-saloon organtza- ttona here but nearly all the churches with the exception of the Roman Cath ollie and Episcopalians are unusualiy active ,, aral times a week all over the city and on Sundays intense sermons are de- Itvered by forcible orators invited from various States to strengthen the prohibition movement here.
 Really the fight that Is 10 pc naue here is national, for most of the tenn perance organizations of the Unlteo States believe that if Washington sa- looms are closed 1t will sooner or later mean a solar plexus blow to old John Rarleycorn all over the Union. Row Over Negroes.
 The Spanish Veteran Association of this city Is torn up over the negro question, and the organization appears | E- nf a RRFi0nQ EDllI. Lots of the white members decline | to meet in the same hall with the | blacks. and the latter, of course. are | much aroused.

OsxLAHMOA's ACTING GOVERN OR GIVES REASON FOR HOLIDAY.
He Says Action Was Due to Present Policy of New York Banks by Refusing to Furnish
 Currency.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. e9.--Acting-G -Gov- ernor Filson today made statement of the actual conditions which prompt ed him in issuing a proclamation pro- vidtng for six legal holidays. The statement follows:
 sgrhe issuance of proclamation yes- terday by the acting Governor of Ok- lahoma, making the period between De- tober 2S and November 2 legal hoii- days, whereby the Oklahoma banks temporarily may suspend business. war due primaril yto the present policy of New York banks. The latter by refus- Ing to furnish currency to Western correspondents forced through their Clearing HoL5e associations, the banks of Kansas City. st. Louis and Wichi- ta, reserve centers for Oklahoma banks, to decline to furnish curren- cy to interior banks or pay cash to patrons in person or to make cash credit on bills of lading.
 "OkIahoma at this time is in the midst of cotton harvest, which re- quires large sums Of immediate casn. The handling of this. cotton crop with out being able to draw upon their re- serves for the necessary funds meant disaster to every bank in Oklahoma that attempt ted to accommodate all US customers. as the slightest wayering would have caused the withdrawal Of deposits by customers already alarmed by conditions in the East.
 sIn view of the threatening espeef of. inc situation, the clearing house as- sociatfon of Guthrie and Shawnee and many bankers in Oklahoma requested inc issuance of a gubernatortal proc- iamation for six day holiday or un- til earlier revoked by executive order, to enable the Oklahoma banks to pro- tect themselves until money began moving westward in suffcient amount to permit their reserve centers to transact business on a material basis. The proclamation was Issued under Section 2797, Statutes of Oklahoma, which permits the Governor of the Territory to fix such holidays as he may deem desirable. ~
 'srhe proclamation seems to be giv- ing confidence instead of causing pos- sibfe uneastness. believe the situa- tlon will speedily adjust itself. as both the citizens and banks of Oklahoma are In highly prosperous condition.
 Charles H. Filson,
 Acting Governor"

Won Moltke de- nied that such a clique as the Hound Tables' could exist and also denied the other charges brought against him. Harden declined to withdraw anything he had written on the subject but said he did not accuse von Moltke Of crime.
 Justice Kern today made the verdict as easy for won Moitke as was consist ent with the conclusion arrived at He said Harden was justified in what. he had written. but that there was evid- ence that won Moitke had af any time acted upon abnormal tnclfnations or that he knew what took place at Ma for Count Lynars villa or of Lieu tenant General won Hohenau's behavior
