George S. Fowler Pleads for

SPEAKS TO SENIOR CLASS
Mr.. Hackett Upheld-Principal Cush-
ing Talks TO Class on Its
Opportunity.

Yesterday morning the senior class
es of the High school, numbering
about two hundred and fifty, were
called together by DR.. Cushing DIR.
Cushing spoke generally Of the en-
thusiasm which the class Of 1905 has
shown in all school activities and af-
ter a short talk introduced George
S. Fowler the president Of the Alum

length, complimenting the senior class
on its play, the dance which was CIV

four thousand. and Mr.. Fowler said

Friday night and begin a re-organl-
cation of the Alumni association
which should tend to a strong body
for consistent and persistent effort TO
better High school conditions along
scholastic, athletic and social lines. In
speaking of Mr.. Hackett's article
which appeared in the Teachers Jour

in the Journal-Courier, the speaker
said that mir. Hackett has faced the

A dangerous fire drove the tenants from

Indinn elevator boy, q chance to prove him
self a hero; he got cut nll but one family,
which escaped over the roof, and in taking
his car up for the last time was overcome by
smoke anl was himself rescued by fremen.
The blaze started III the apartment of
Jacob Muller, on the first floor. It was a
little before breakfast hour when the lace
curtains caught fire in Nj. Muller's bedroom
aud dropped q flaming sheet on the feather
bed. julia Henven, the maid, endeavouFed
to throw the feather mattress ont of the

locating volume. De Chabert ran the eleva-
ter, however, even after the bhlze spread
into the hallway and vas drawn toward the
shaft. Before the ire apparatus arrived he
Lod carried every family down, except that
OF Charles NJ Anderson, on the top floor.
He tried to get up to the Anders Us, when
the smoke choked him and he fell unccn-
Cious on the floor of the elevator.

NJ EXTCO'S ENTERPRISES PROSPER
HER BANKS STAND UNSHAKEN.
(New York Herald 1st JanuQrg)

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 19O8.-The ~soundness
of the banking system Of Mexico, controlled
by a conservative and carefully administered
federal banking law, has been fully demon
strated by the manner in which the financial
Institutions of the republic have weathered
the storm that recently swept over the mon
ey centres Of the world. There has not
been q single suspense AMONG the bank
ing, commercial or industrial establishments
Of the country, nor has the formation of
syndicates or government assistance been
necessary to keep any institution atloat.
1t cannot be said, however, that Mexico
has not felt, to a certain extent, the effects
of the tightnees of money abroad. The flow
of foreign capital to Mexico for investment
has been greatly lessened, and numerous
projects of more OF less magnitude have
been abandoned or suspended because of
the impossibility of securing the necessary
funds. Chief of such operations is the rail
road merger deal by which the government
proposes to unite under one company most
of the chief lines of Mexico.
DIAz ON CHE SITUATION
The situation was summed up by Presi-
dent Diaz in his recent message to Congress
as follows
"Ihe difficulties through which the for
eign financial markets have been passing
since the commencement of the year have
been getting worse day by day until they
lave eventuated in a stringency SO general
that it may be described as an almost
worldwide financial crisis. Mexico had
succeeded until four or FIVE months ago
in keeping out Of the Influence of these
disturbing factors, but the scarcity of
available funds to which l have just al
luded has arrested the investment OF for
eign capital in our country, thus obljging
tie banks to strengthen their holdings in
cash or at least not to permit their cur
tailment, and therefore to refuse aid to
NV undertakings, with the exception of
those of undeniaDle ~solidity. The eco
nomic strain, due purely to local causes,
which affected the peninsula of Yueatan
WAS also a factor in imposing on the banks
, 1908-01-25

panies to their big clients. Nevertheless.
he says, this attack on these abuses might
have been conducted, not only with frrnnesss
but with a certain measure of restraint. 1t
must be confessed hat when an ignorant
and impressionable public reads that the pub
lie authorities of the country are applying III
their speeches to the chiefs of industrial
aud financial companies the appellation of
robbers, the public not only experiences dis
trust, which by itself might be ~salutary, but is
brought into danger of general p'nic. But
after all, the truth Of the whole matter is
that in these panic days the United States
is simply paying the penalty Of it's extravagant
activity and expansion at a time when credit
conditions are normal-Ibid
, 1908-01-25

q policy of caution, thanks to which we may
feel assured that the passing of the more
acute phase OF the foreign crisis will also
witness the disappearance of the relatively
inconsiderable malaise which the condition
of other ma rkets has occasioned here
