No Railroad Conference at
White House.
Four Magnates Confer and Decide
Not to Act on the Engage
ment Made for Them
by Pierpont Nor
gam.

New York, March 15-Messrs. Nc
Crea, Mellen, Hughitt and Newman,
the railroad presidents for whose visit
to the White House J. Pierpont Nor
gan arranged before his departure for
Europe, held a conference at the Grand
Central station in this city today. The
whole situation was canvassed with
great care and it was finally decided
not to go to Washington.
It is understood that the reason for
this conclusion was that the four gen
tlemen involved did not feel that they
had any proper mandate from the rail-
rod corporation to represent them.
They felt that they could not assume
the position of Reconstructed COM
mission to formulate or present the
views of the hundreds of railroad COM
panies which in turn are owned by mil
liens of shareholders. They recognized
that the railway managers of United
States are not themselves in perfect
accord. and that until some method
could be adopted for securing a con-
census of opinion, a visit to the Presl-
dent would be idle.
At the conclusion of the conference
| the various presidents left for their
homes.
| e. FL. Hartman will leave this city
tomorrow for Virginia to join his family
at one of the resorts of that state. Mr..
Harrim an in making the announcement
of his intention of taking the trip said
that he did not intend to stop at Wash
ington either on his way South or on
his return. Regarding the Wall street
7u,flors that the control of Union Pacific
| had passed from his hands during the
recent violent slump in the stock mar
ket Mr.. Hartman said that the re
port was quite incorrect.

HOW MANY ARE DEAD?
The Roll OF the BattleShip Jena is
Called.

Thompson arrived here this morning.
The roll of the battleship Jena, on
which the explosion occurred yesterday
was called; 4O7 men replied to their
names. Twenty four officers and the
engineers are also reported safe, and
there are A member of the crew lying
in hospitals seriously injured.
AS the offers and crew numbered
$50 it will thus be seen that 155 are not
accounted for but the naval authorities
consider it probable that large num-
Der of these have sought refuge in

WORST SLUMP
in MANY YEARS.
Due to Dependency Over
AntiCofpofation
Law.
Liquidation Witnessed Yesterday
Has Not Been Equdlled
Since February,
1901.

New York, Yarch 14-Liquidation
was of a volume and character today
such as has not been witnessed on the
stock exchange since February 8, 1901,
when the development of a corner in
Northern Pacific precipitated one ofthe
severest short panics ever seen in the
New York market.
The extreme violence of the declines
on that occasion was due to the fact
that it broke in abruptly upon period
of boom and rising prices. Today's
demonstration was radically different,
in that it succeeded prolonged period
of liquidation and severe declines in
prices.
| Not only had much been accomplish
ed towards the necessary liquidation
| before the present break, but the action
Of the market had begun to reflect
return of confidence early this week,
and general conviction had grown up
| that the worst was over.
| The sudden outbreak of renewed weak
ness today owed most of its violence
to the feeling Of dependency in specu-
lative circles regarding the effects Of
public agitation against corporations
and the nearly universal trend of
Legislative measures against them. The
speculative circles are not disposed to
rely on their own information and
deductions as to the extent and the
Significance of these developments,
/ The extreme sensitiveness of senti-
ment on the subject is founded on sup
positions of what the great authorities
in the railroad and financial world think
on the subject. The recent events have
created the impression that these au-
thorities are in a condition of keen anxi-
ETY. and even of fright about the prospect
they have to face in this matter. Some
of the steps taken with the intention
of allaying apprehension on the subject
seem to have been principally instru-
mental in aggravating it. This was
notably true of the visit to Washington
early in the week Of J. P. Morgan with
the avowed purpose of acting as medi
ator between the President and the raj
road companies in an effort to induce
:. the President to take some step to allay
public apprehension regarding tn.
o credit of railroad companies.

HONOR FOR A
COLORED YOUTH.
Wins Rhodes Scholarship in
Field Of Fifty.
First Member OF His Race to be
Chosen from America will Fin

Special to The Washington Post.
Philadelphia, Pa. March 12.-The
Rhodes scholarship OF the State of
Pennsylvania has this year been
awarded to colored man. He is Alain
LIE Roy Locke, 712 South Twelfth ST.,
this city, senior at Harvard Univer-
sity.
In the provisions of the will of the
or religion shall make no difference in
the selection of the candidate, and
Locke was chosen on his merits. There
were five who passed the examinations
which were held at Lafayette College
on the 18th and 18th of January, and
of these Locke was deemed the best
fitted to receive the award.
The scholarship provides for a three
years course at Oxford University,
81 500 year being its value.
Locke will be the first colored man
to receive one of the American Rhodes
scholarships.
The new Rhodes scholar is 81 years
old. He was born in this city and was
educated here. He entered Harvard
University in the fall of 1904. From
Harvard he will be graduated next
June, after having completed the regu-
lar four years course in three years.
The qualifying examinations were
taken by some fifty candidates. To be
eligible for the examinations the cand1-
dates are required to have reached, be-
end of their sophomore year at a
recognized degree granting university
or college.
The examinations are severe test
the candidates knowledge of arithme-
tic, algebra, geometry, Greek and Latir
being learned. Five of the candidates
passed the last examination.
From these five it was for the
selection committee to decide wht
should receive the scholarship. Th'
candidates appeared before the com
, mittee and their personal qualification
we're inquired into. Character anG
manliness are as important qualifca
tions as scholarship, and a preference
is given to those who are popular witt
, their fellow-students and have takel
an active part in athletic sports.
, It was the decision of the committe
that Locke was the best fitted to re
ceive the scholarship. The committee i

FINLEY ASKS SOUTH TO AID.
Appeals to S0utherneFS to Stand by
Transportation Companies.

New Orleans, March 15.-An appeal
to all southerners to stand by the rail-
roads for the sake of the development
of the south, was made tonight by w.
w. Finley, president of the Southern
railway, at business banquet rendered
him here. He says:
ST the railways of the south are to
be brought up to the standard required
by the expanding business of southern
communities the people of the south
must be actuated by the same spirit
of cooperation they showed in the early
days of railway building, when commu-
mites We'd with each other in offering
inducements for construction. The day
for governmental and municipal fnan-
cial aid for railway lines has passed,
and the many millions of dollars that
will be required for additional track ca
pacity and terminal facilities must be
obtained from private investors.
''The great part of the money must
be borrowed.
identified during most of my bust
ness career with the railways of the
south, know the resources of its rail-
ways Will be taxed to the utmost to
provide the additional facilities that will
be required. The provision OF these
facilities at the earliest possible date is
of incalculably more Importance to the
south than any any possible rate re-
duction, or any proposition to pena1ize
roads for failure to perform services
which are beyond their present capa-
city.
81 believe that is is to the interest o.
the railways and the people that spiri
of harmony and just dealing be foster.

HURTING LABOR AS WELL
Confidence in all Forms OF Business
Investments Being Un-
derminded.

Atlanta, Ca, March 14-Before adj
journing its annual convention today,
the Southern Ice Exchange adopted
resolutions viewing with great alarm
the action of, national, state and muni-
cipal governments in present aggressive
movements against all invested wealth
in general, and corporations and trans
portation interests in particular
The resolutions declared that legis-
lative shortening of hours of lrbor, the
interference against the employer in
behalf of the employe by legislative ac-
ton and the attempt to interfere with
all kinds of business through the law,
are undermining confidence in business
investments and depreciating the quail
ity and the Standard of labor and
labor's product.
It directed that copy of these reso-
lutions be forwarded to President
Roosevelt.

A PRAYER

o Fatherl Lead us through the multi
tude Of thoughts
Surrounding and confusing thoughtful
men;
Keep us from travelling without d
guide,
For we have strayed again and still
again.
Help us to know the great realities,
The principles which underlie all things
The deep foundations on which Thou
dost rest,
The truth from which confusing sub
truth springs.
Help us to know the meaning of pure
faith
Amid the tangled maze of scientific
thought.
1t is so easy not to see the stars
Behind the darkness which the clouds
have brought
Be patient with us Lord, our hayward
ness
Deserves the swift correction of the
rod;
But oh, in tender love of Fatherland
Unfold to us the truth which comes
from God
