MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Trading In securities fell last week below all
recent records to volume of business and the
average of the sixty most active stocks changed
little from $50 share, which Is less than two
thirds of the highest figure recorded. Oper-
ations are largely professional, only q small per
centage of the insignificant transactions being
either investment commission buying In a
market dull and narrow sharp advance
might be brought about by genuine trading on a
moderate scale but the outside public is content
TO wait and the leading operate take no prom
inent part. There was not even the customary
movement in anticipation of March dividend dis
tributions. estimated at $50 100000 Latest re-

than those for preceding weeks, severe storms
adding to the adverse features Returns of net
earnings make still less satisfactory exhibits
and the roads are striving to reduce operating

is a disposition to resist
In the money market there continues the un-
fortunate discrimination between loans on
quickly marketable Stock Exchange collateral
and borrowing In commercial channels Rates
are low and funds readily obtained in the for
mer instance, yet security trading is not stimu-
lated while revival Of mercantile activity is
retarded by the close scrutiny 10 which COM
mercal paper is subjected. The banks cannot
be criticised for this fastdiousness, as failures
have been exceedingly frequent of late and Il
is essential that there should be good prospect
of a firms continued sovency if deposftors'
funds to be lent. The mere fact that in
terest rates more profitable to the bank is
less important than the safety OF the principal.
As confidence returns, this difficulty will grad
ually disappear. although recent experiences
will tend TO make financial institutions more
conservative for some time. Government de-
posits in the national banks have decreased
very materially. and the contraction will
continue until $50, 100000 has been withdrawn
under the recent call. This money is no longer
needed in circulation. and the large deficit on
regular Treasury operations of about 50 600 900
in February reduced the working balance to a
low point. Liberal offerings of exchange pre-
vented sterling rates from rising TO the point
al which gold would be exported. and il is
probable that the selling of bills was exactly
for that purpose.

THE FADING LINES.

The Cosmopolitansm of this great city was
made evident on Thursday at the first general
conference of the Ethical-Social League. but
that was not the most inspiring feature of the
meeting. Members of twenty nationalities
were present: socialist and indivdualst Jew
and Gentle capitalist and wOrkingman, priest
and layman, radical and conservative of every
kind-all these rubbed elbows in the friendly
throng. But If they had done nothing more
they would not have surpassed the achieve
ments of an ordinary Saturday night crowd in
the subway. The significant thing was that
they got together in the fullest sense of the
football players phrase, and in doing so they
bore witness TO the finer possibilities Of New

manner in which they We're received went far

BOUT WILL Be FOR
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Turk Will Seek to WreSt Liqht
Heavyweight Honors
From Olson.
GREAT GO is PREDICTED.
MORE THAN ORDINARY INTEREST
IN CONTEST OF THURSDAY
NlGHT-oLsoN EXPECTS HARD
MATCH.

Thursday night the greatest wrest-
ling match that has been offered the
local fans this season will be pulled
OF, and it is expected monster crowd
will witness it. The contest will be
between Charles Olson, champion light
heavyweight of America, and Bob
Manogoff, the clever Turk wrestler.
The matches the Turk has engaged
in in this city have been with oppon-
ents not in his class. He has shown
himself to be the best man in every
bout pulled off here, and If Olson ina
gines he is to have an easy time with
Big Bob, he has guessed wrong. How
ever, Olson is too much of a veteran
to under estimate an opponent. He ex-
poets a hard contest and frankly ad-
mits it.
More than ordinary interest hinges
on this contest. Olson holds the light
heavyweight championship of the
United States. an honor that the Turk
has long coveted Should Manogoff
win his match Thursday night, a new
light heavyweight champion will have
been created.

benefiting by this alleged crooked deal
and to cast suspicion on President
Roosevelt and Mr. Taft, he asked his
audience In a sneering tone Of voice,
did you ever hear of a single dishon-
est dollar crossing the palm of that
great comIhoner, William Jennings
Bryan"
1t was the first time that a Rich
mond audience had ever heard any
man cast reflections upon the honesty
of President Roosevelt, the most be-
loved president in the history of the
country, or of William H. Taft, Mr..
Roosevelt's successor. The crowd sat
almost petrified. A few seconds lat
er many people arose and left the
building.
G. C. Feight. an Indianapolis rail-
road man, was the first speaker and he
made an attack on the labor record of
James E. Watson. He concluded his
address by telling the audience If it
wanted a government that would ex-
tend as much protection to poor
washwoman as it would to a woman
ablaze with jewels in the drawing
room of her palatial mansion, 1t
should vote for Bryan and Marshall.
The meeting concluded with an ad
dress delivered by Congressman Joe
Robinson of Arkansas. He predicted
his state would go democratic by g
large majority.

Frank Herring lnsinuates That

Were Dishonest.

MANY PEOPLE LEFT BUILDING
AFTER SOUTH BEND ATTORNEY
MADE sTATEMENT-GoRE DID
NOT SPEAK.

Frank Herring, a South Bend attor.
ney, in a speech last evening at the
democratic rally, held at the coliseum,
denounced in the most bitter manner
the action of the local republican or
ganization in placarding the city with
posters comparing the records of Will
liam Howard Taft and William Jen-
nings Bryan, to the disparagement of
the latter gentleman, as "cowardly
and in violation of the American prin
ciple of fair play" Then the same
speaker turned his vitriolic tongue
loose upon President Roosevelt and
Mr. Taft and by inuendo gave the i'm
preston that they had a guilty knowl-
edge of an alleged theft in connection
with the Panama Canal. Completing
his TRADE, Mr.. Herring paused for ap
plause, but there was not a sound.
Mr.. Herring was one of three speak
ers at the meeting last evening The
announcement that Senator Gore of
Oklahoma would address the meeting
was the magnet which drew the crowd,
but he failed to put in an appearance
being delayed by a wreck.
Mr.. Herring stated that the govern
ment could have purchased for
s10.00o,0o0 the rights Of the defunct
French company to the Panama Canal
but for some unexplained reason this
company had received $4,000, 900. He
accused Mr.. Robinson. brother-in-law

THREE OBSTACLES
CONFRONT EARL HAM
Must Defeat Butler, Rose
Poly and Dep auW to Win
Championship.
BUTLER NEXT SATURDAY.
QUAKERS HOPE TO WIN THIS
CONTEST AS COACH VAIL Elk
Poets TO PLACE HIS FULL
LINEUP IN THE GAME.

Three obstacles stand in the pain OF
Earlham winning the secondary foot
ball championship of the state, name
ly-Butler. Rose Poly and DePauw.
One at a time the Quakers will launch
themselves against these obstacles
and they are confident of overcoming
ali of them. The first one Earlham
will go against will be Butler. This
team the Ouakers will meet Saturday
on Reid Field and the fans OF this
city are assured the best game that
has been played here so far this sea
son. Butler has strong, aggressive
team and the Iryington rooters are as
confident of their pets defeating Earl
ham as the Quaker fans are confident
that Butler will be spanked.
Coach Vail will probably place for
the first time this season his full line
up in the game. This means that
Hancock will resume his place at left
end and Laurence will direct the team
play at quarterback There is some
doubt as to whether Captain Harrell
will be able to resume his place at
fullback, but an effort is being made
to get him in shape for this contest.
He still suffers with his wrenched
ankle.
The Earlham student body is giving
its team enthusiastic support and Sat
urday each class will march on the
field separately, singing their class
songs and giving the college football
cheer.
The second obstacle In the champ
ionship path that confronts Earlham
is Rose Poly. A week from Saturday
the Quakers will journey to Terre
Haute and will there give battle to the
Roses This year Rose has a mighty
strong team as was shown by her de-
feat of the crack Wabash team. The
Saturday following the Rose game the
Quakers will climb the anatomy of the
third obstacle. DePauw. This game
will be played on Reid Field and will
be not only the last game but the
most important game of Earlham's
football season. This contest should
draw the largest crowd that ever at
tended football game In this city.

answer that he was enjoying republi-

Beveridge spoke to fully $4,000 peo-

scarcely be estimated. The streets

1850 stood for the principle that all
men were equal and that there were
no classes among the people Of this
country. Today Mr.. Bryan is assert

the laboring man are different from
the interest Of the employer. and that

people. That is the difference between
