CONSOLATION FROM "THE TIMES, "
English Newspaper Skeptieal Regarding Mr.
Cortelyou's Confidence.

London Nov. 16--"The Times" in an editorial
discussing the financial position in the United
States this morning, says that more light on the
subject is desirable before the best informed
persons of London will be able to share Score
tary Cortelyou's confidence at the same time.
it says, it is necessary to keep a cool head and
not TO be misled TO the future by what after
all, is only transient phenomenon such as has
occurred in America before though not on such
a dangerous scale.
1.-THE real wealth and the sources of wealth of
the great Republic" the editorial continues
"have not been materially impaired by the events
of the crisis. All that has occurred is the tenn
porary paralysis of the medium of exchange"
The editorial proceeds to argue the necessity
for a powerful central banking institution It
admits the difficulty of the task of forming such
an institution, but says it will be much surprised
if the United States eventually does not find a.
way out of the difficulty. Meanwhile. however
the Times concludes, the government has to
deal with the more pressing question of devisng
means TO restore confidence.
Among other papers dealing with the same
question The Economist" thinks the American
government must resort to an issue of incM
vertible paper, at the risk of creating all
the evils such an issue may produce. Like the
Times. "The Economist" thinks the real weak
ness of the situation lies in the absence of a
central bank

FAILURE HITS MISSIONS.
Methodist Foreign Workers Paid
an knickerbOcker Checks.

One Of the embarrassing situations caused by
the suspension Of the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany has to light in the New York Branch
OF the Womens Foreign Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church Nearly $4,000 of the
societys money. 10000 Of which had been raised
within two weeks, in the trust company when
II closed its doors. and checks for most OF IL had
been sent to all parts OF the world to pay the
yearly salaries Of missionaries and Bible teachers
The checks now for the time being at least. are
worthless.
Two weeks before the annual meeting in Octo-
Der Of the New York branch. which supports forty
missionaries, sixty teachers and assistants and 81
Bible teachers. in addition eco orphans in vari-
GUS institutions, II found itself facing dcact Of
$4,000 Meetings We're held. literature was sent out
and appeals made FOR funds in every part Of
this state and New Jersey, which is within the ter
ritory covered By the New York branch Just before
the annual meeting the deficit made UP. All of
this money placed with other funds in the
postary of the society. and checks it were sent
to India. Asia. Africa, China Japan the Philippines
and South America, where missionary work is car

a short time afterward a protested check for sll7

effort to obtain last month. Twenty thousand cir

FRENCH TARIFF NOT INVOLVED.
Secretary Root Denies Demand for Conces-
sions Figured in Gold Imports.

Washington Nov. 15-Secretary Root requested
to-day that denial be made OF the story that the
French government has proposed to obtain tarr
concessions from the United States throupb the
Intervention of New York bankers, as a price for
the release of gold by the Bank of France in order
that the gold might be shipped to this country to
relieve the present strngency. Amy proposal OF
this character inevitably must pass through diplo-
matte channels, and the State Department officials
therefore would be in position to obtain advance
information if such effort were contemplated
The financial situation and any plans the New
York market may have to bring about shipments
of gold from France, the Secretary said are, not
involved in the present tariff negotiations between
that country and the United States.

WILD RUMORS IN PARIS.
War with Japan Seen in Attempt of America
to Get Gold.

Paris Nov. l5.-Distorted rumors concerning the
character of the negotiations conducted by J. T.
Morgan &. Co. with the Bank of France to OBJ
tain between $40 100000 and 100000 in gold for
direct shipment to New York, which were definitely
broken off yesterday, have leaked out here, and
the newspapers to-day are printing ridiculous re-
ports on the subject. One OF the news agencies
tries TO make it appear that the United States
government was seeking gold for the purpose
of filing its war chest in anticipation of hostill-
ties with Japan. This agency announced that
United States government short term loan was
imminent and that Japan had protested against
its admission TO the Paris Bourse, believing that
the alleged dearth of gold in the United States is
a bluff and that the crisis deliberately pre-
meditated in order TO permit America to build I'D
its war treasury.
II is almost needless to add that the reports cir
culated here to the effect that the United States
had applied for permission to list a loan on the
Bourse and that the Japanese authorities had pro.
tested are without foundation.

single share OF Knickerbocker Trust Company
stock in the last seven years. He said he owned
some of the stock and sorry he did. Kncker-
booker Trust Company stock sold at 1900 before the
company closed its doors. 1t has recently sold 20
Mr.. Morse said that his loans at the present time
with the Knickerbocker Trust Company amounted
to only 10000 and that they not secured by
American Ice Company stock collateral.
Mr. Morse said that Mr.. Barney killed himself
because his heart was broken by the way his sup
posed friends in the Knickerbocker Trust Company
directorate turned on him when the companys
troubles became known. Men who had been helped
TO affiuence by Mr.. Barney and who indebted
to him fo- nearly every dollar they possessed
turned coat and begaE to viify him in the hour Of
his adversely. according to the speaker.
Il talked with Mr.. Barney over the telephone
nearly every night after he resigned president
of the Knickerbocker Trust Company" said Mr..
Morse. ANA tried 10 cheer him up, but I never
knew so detected a He never rallied from
the blow given him by the directors
When asked what comment he had to make
the story that he had informed the Clearing House
committee that things were not all well with the
knickerbocker Trust Company at the time when
the National Bank of North America was under
investigation. Mr. Morse said:~ THAT statement Is
absolutely and maiciously false 1t scarcely merits
a denial"
Asked to comment on the action Of the directors
of the Knickerbocker Trust Company in demand
ing the resignation of Mr. Barney from the pTesi
dency October q last, and thereby precipitating
a run OF the following day, a result of which
the company obliged to suspend payment. Mr..
Morse said They all badly frightened, and
thought that by throwing the blame Mr.. Bar
ney they could themselves 1t cruel
act Later events showed the folly OF such
policy
Mr.. Morse said that he always associated
with Mr.. Barney in real estate deals. Mr.. Barney,
he said always handled these transactions He
denied that the dead nancier had engaged in stock
or other speculations

not devised further means to relieve the flnan-
cial situation in America
