 Van Riper had then told the secre- tary substantially what ha had told in court, but not as much. He could not remember whether ne had told the secretary he had been with Holmes In conspiracy to secure advance crop information, said he did not give away the alleged conspiracy and that he went to the secretary to have the crop report corrected and to have righted the wrong" done him by Haas reports concerning the June re- port, Haas having said ne would get the information from Holmes. He said that his getting the correct cotton crop the morning the report was is- sued was too late to save him from loss. He said Secretary Wilson had promised the interview with him should be confidential
 Mir. Van Riper said that May s1, 1905. he learned plans were being made to manipulate the crop reports He had considered that his arrange ment with "olmes had ended in the previous December when the Mercer partnership was dissolved.

Under the original agreement in August, 1904, with Peckham, Van Riper said that he had agreed to give Peckham two-thirds of the profits, Holmes not being mentioned for a share of the proceeds. Later Haas was taken in and 1t was agreed that the profits were to be divided by four and that Peckham should have . fourth and Haas a half. There was an en- tire omission of Holiness name. The first time he had proof that Holmes was to share in the profits was when he saw Haas turn part of his share over to him. He said the firm of Mer- cer and Company had been formed to conceal the fact that ne was dealing largely in cotton. In December, 1904, he became suspicious or Haas and as a consequence he had picked out of waste basket where 1t had been torn up and thrown. the agreement be- tween Haas and Holmes relative to their respective interests In the Mer- cer firm.

 Norfolk, Va, June 1S.-Will Hogg, representing New York in the Ma tiona1 Travellers Protective Associa- tion convention here today received from William J. Bryan a letter under date of Lincoln. Neb, June Is. in which MT. Bryan said:
 T am sorry that Governor Hughes of New York vetoed the 2-cent rate bill. He simply gives the benefit of the doubt to the railroads instead of to the people, and that too, when the roads were protected by an appeal to the courts. whereas the people have no ap- peal. His veto shows how difficult regulation is when the roads have such an enormous influence in politics
 But the travelling men ought not to be discouraged; it takes time to secure reforms, but reforms come. The next Governor of New York will not veto a 2-cent bill"

MEANS NOTHING HERE.

The suspension of the Knickerbock-
ar Trust company means practically
nothing to the bankers of Richmond.
Our financial institutions in this city
do not invest their funds nthe secur-
ties of the New York stock market
but loan them locally almost entirely.
They keep their money at home where
it is under their personal observation
all the time and they make just as
much money as they would if they
turned it over to New York bankers
or placed it in New York stocks and
bonds without the element of risk that
goes with Investments in those stocks
and bonds. 1t is the same thing in
practically ali the western banks and
trust companies. They don't dabb,e in
eastern stocks and bonds and as a re-
suit their position is unassailable even
when New York banks are exerting
every effort as they are doing now to
avert SeIlouS lIOuDle. "SSlSiu bdhho
and trust companies have well earned
the confidence the people hold in
them. And they should guard that
good opinion as their dearest poss-
ession and greatest asset. Let the
eastern banks and trust companies
be just as speculative as their depos-
itors care to have them but let the
western banks and trust companies
remain as they always have in the
banking business alone.

Indianapolis, Oct. 23.-Indiana florists

the flowers in a conservatory their
freshness will be preserved longer than
could be possible in hall.
Blooms will be exhibited by many

DIVISION
POINT TO CHANGE
Richmond Is to Be Made Into
Such by the c., c. & L.
Road Soon.
CHANGES ARE BEING MADE.
PEOPLE WHO SPEND THE WIN
TER IN WARM CLIMATES ARE
BEGINNING TO ASK ABOUT
RATES-RAILROAD NEWS.

Richmond will soon be made the
freight division point for the c., c. &
l.. railroad. A large number of men
employed on the road will remove
their families to this city as soon as
arrangements are completed whereby
the road can inaugurate the new sys-
TEN. The c.. c. & L. is now carrying
on extensive improvements on the
South Side, where a new freight yard
will be arranged. The work has been
progressing several weeks, and it is
hoped by railroad officials to complete
this before Nov. /. 1t Is the general
opinion that the new yards cannot be
completed before that date however.
A large overhead bridge is being
constructed over the Boston pike
south of Richmond while a large force
of men is employed grading for the
new yards. About one half mile of
tracks has already been laid near
South street.
BY the new arrangement practically
all local freight crews will make their
runs out of Richmond, both north and
south.

FREEDOM FROM WALL STREET.

The suspension of the Knickerbcck-
er Trust company of New York City
while it is greatly to be deplored, new
ertheless, affords a striking illustra-
ton of the new freedom Of the rest of
the country's financial institutions
from Wall streets dominance in their
affairs. Time was when a suspension
OF such nature would shake the ma
ton and precipitate widespread pan
ic. But the suspension of the Knicker-
booker Trust company caused finan-
cial disturbance in New York alone
1t comes as a fitting climax to the
careers of those frenzied financiers
by which confidence in our entire fl
nancial fabric has been shaken the
world over. 1t Is no use for New York
bankers to lay the blame on President
Roosevelt. They and they alone are
to blame, for they have allowed their
institutions to be prostituted to the
Base uses of the basest lot Of finan-
ciers the world ever produced. AS
President Roosevelt has said time and
again. his campaign is not waged
against the honest business man but
against the business man who makes
use Of downright criminal tactics in
order to enrich himself. And we do
not blame the president for this pres
ent Wall street panic and bank dis
aster but rather the Morgans, Ryans,
Rockefellers, Harrimans and that
class of citizens. who have preyed
upon our financial and personal liber-
ties like lot of bloodthirsty vampires.
If the present panic in Wall street will
only work out the elimination of some
of these choice citizens of ours we will
all have cause to congratulate oursel-
yes and President Roosevelt.

POSTING FREIGHT TARIFFS.

The Interstate Commerce commits

the RECRUITMENT of the law that freight
tariffs of the various railroads be post
ed conspicuously in all stations. The
carriers expressed their desire to do
everything reasonable in the matter
of furnishing their rates to the ship
pers, but pointed out that if the COM
mission compelled them to furnish at
every station on their line posted in
formation concerning the rates to ev-
cry possible point in the United States
it would be an unreasonable and UNI
fair burden. 1t means not only an en-
ormous expense, but, technical minu-
tiae which might require months, if
not years, to work out
