Committee Calls John Arnold of Lock
port, Who Is Said to Have Made
an Offer for Rights,

Chicago, Nov. 23.-Evidence tending
to show a complete working agree
ment between the Illinois and Michi-
gan canal commissioners and the pro-
moters of the Economy Light & Power
company is in the hands of the legisla-
tive Investigating committee. Seeking
to throw further light on these deals,
the committee has subpoenaed John
Arnold of Lockport, former United
States marshal, to appear at the next
hearing set for next Friday.
See If Others were Barred.
From Mr.. Arnold's testimony the in
vestigators hope to learn whether the
canal commissioners in granting
leases and privileges to the water
power promoters actually blocked off
the efforts Of competitors TO secure a
foothold in the Desplaines valley. In
formation now possessed by the inves-
tigators is to the effect that the COM
mission not only befriended Charles
A. Monroe, and the Economy Light &
Power company to the extent of grant
ing them privileges which have made
the dam at Dresden Heights possible
but also did effective work for them by
|making it impossible for anybody else
to cut in On the field.
Wanted to Make hid.
Mr.. Arnold has been called in be-
cause the investigators have learned
that when the canal board was con
lsidering the proposition of giving flow
age rights to Monroe, Arnold was
ready to make bid for the same priv.
ilege.
Pending the hearing of Mr. Arnold's
evidence the governor will receive
briefs from his lawyers on which to
base his decision as to what legal steps
he can take to oust the Economy co6
lpany. y

Visit of J. p. Morgan to White

OF PART OF The BANKERS
Resumption of Currency Payments
Without Restriction at an Early
Date Predicted.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The visit of
j. p. Morgan to Secretary Cortelyou
and the president last night is gen.
orally accepted here today as evidence
the financial leaders of New York in
tend to cooperate with the treasury de!
partment in making success of the
new loans Assurances were brought
by Morgan regarding the Improvement
of conditions in New York, with sub
scriptions still coming in for new loans,
and encourage the belief here that the
corner has been turned in the mon
etary situation, and that the banks of
the country will soon be able to re.
sumo currency, payments without re-
striction.
Enough to Restore Reserves.
The enormous amount of gold which
has arrived or been engaged is felt
rather more than sufficient to restore
the New York bank reserves to the
point of safety, and it is believed after
opening bids for the Panama bonds
the situation will be such that further
imports of gold will not be required.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 23.-A mosi
important conference relating to the
currency situation and the means to be
taken for it's immediate and permanent

Baker, president of the First National
bank of New York, came to Washing
ton last evening in compliance with ar
invitation from the president.
Prior to their call at the White
house the two financiers conferred
with Secretary Cortelyou. Then, il
company with Robert Bacon, assistant
secretary of state, they visited the
president.
The conferences Mr.. Morgan hat
both with the president and Secretar!
Cortelyou related in part to the dis

of indebtedness and the disposition o
the money which the government will
derive from the sale of these notes.
