DuIv's REVIEW OF TRADE.
Best News of the Week is Somewhat
Moro PROMPT Collections,

New York, April 10.-Dun's review
tomorrow will say: Bank exchanges
this week at all the leading cities In
the United States, are $1,921, ,788 900,
1876 per cent less than year ago, and
34.4 per cent under the corresponding
week of 1906. The loss is very heavy,
especially in the east, in the south and
at Pacific coast points. In the CEN
trail west, the loss is generally small,
and several cities again report larger
exchanges thon in either of the two
preceding years. The very large loss
at New York City is still due to con-
ditions in the financial markets, and
much lower volume of security trad
ing this year. Outside New York City
the loss is very much smaller. For the
year to date, as shown in the average
daily figures, the loss has been about
80 per cent, chiefly due to loss at New
York, and there is little evidence of
improvement in the April figures, as
compared with the preceding months.
Dispatches to Dun's review indicate an
improvement in some directions, COM
mercially, while in other cases there Is
no change, the best news OF the week

RYAN EXPLAINS s5oo,ooo FUND.
Denies Story That He Said 1t Was

Denies Story That He Said It Was
Used in Mckinley Campaign.
New York, April 10.-From Thomas
f. Ryan's testimony in the Well dam
age suit for $500 in the Seventh Mu-
nicipal court yesterday 1t appears tina;
the 100000 which figured in the Wal!
and Cortlandt street ferries railroad
deal went originally to p. A. b. Widen
er of Philadelphia.
This transaction has been the sub
ject of investigation by IL special grand
jury.
Some of the witnesses in those pro-
ceedings, it is understood, testified that
the 100000 had gone for campaign
purposes in 1900.
1t appears further from Mr.. Ryan
testimony that the $500,000 paymen
was made in the first instance by the
officers of the Metropolitan Securities
company.
The entire series of transactions in
volved in the deal seems, in the light
of Mr.. Ryan's testimony, to have been
as follows:
"The officers of the Metropolitan
Securities company, in the latter part
of 1899 or the first part of 1900 drew
a checl; for 100000 in favor of P. A
B. Widener
A few weeks after William G. Whit
ney. then the controlling spirit of the
Metropolitan, called upon Mr.. Ryan, p
A. B. Widener, William L. Elllins
Thomas Dolan. and himself for a loan
of 100000 each, the money to be used
for the, benefit of the Metropolitan
company.
Two years late the Metropolitan Sc
curities company purchased from An
thony ". Brady the franchise Of the
Wall and Cortlandt street ferries rail-
way for $25O.00O.
Brady received payment in check
for 1856 900 From the balance, $715,-
0OO Mr.. Whitney repaid the five indi-
vidua loans with S per cent interest
sending to each, including himself, a
check for s111,652.75.
Mr.. Ryan disclaimed any definite
knowledge as to the use to which the
money was put, thus disposing of the
reports that he had testified before a
grand jury that it had been used in the
Mckinley campaign fund.

but have we not gone back century
toward a centralized form of govern
ment which is not to the advantage OF
the people? What this government
needs is not more power. What it
needs today is to so distribute the
privileges under the government that
all citizens will have equal opportun-
ity America has been called the land
of opportunity. But American oppor-
tunity should not mean granting or
special privileges to any class. but
should afford all alike the means for
culture. education, prosperity and con-
tentment.
For nearly century and half
America has presented to the world
the spectacle of happy, prosperous
and intelligent people, maintaining Il
pure democracy founded upon their
supreme will. The hallmark of DEM
ocracy is that the powers of govern
ment are close to the people. Thru
out the world, wherever democracy Is
advancing, its progress is marked py
a greater measure of self-government
to each community. Will the Ameri-
can people turn to the setting rather
than the rising sun? Shall we now,
because some laws are found irksome
by class and interfere with their sell
fish aims, commence to deprive our
sovereign states of that measure or
home rule which until now they have
seen fit to reserve to themselves! L
cannot believe it. Upon the contrary,
1 believe that the limitations upon
state and federal governments and
of the different departments In
each, which have been so efficacious
in the past. will be maintained In their
full vigor in the future.
Therefore, discharging all OF our
responsibilities as citizens oil coun-
try, refusing to surrender our rights
of citizenship in any degree, let us so
live that heroism eXemplified on this
and other American battlehelds may
not be simply g. tradition, and the
national wisdom of our forefathers a
mere legend, but that thru us and
those to come America will reach her
full destiny, in the permanent estab-
lishment of perfect union. which
shall be not for today nor tomorrow,
but forever, and be SO established
that it will be for all of the people,
and that their government shall not
perish"

ROOSEVELT WILL APPROVE.
Senate at Last Passes New Employ
ers, Liability Bill.

Washington, D. Co., April 1O.-The
senate late yesterday afternoon passed
the employers liability bill as it came
from the house. The measure, which
was introduced in the house by Rep
resentative Sterling of Illinois. now
goes to President Roosevelt, and it will
receive his approval at once.
The new act is to take the place OF
the one which was declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court in jan
,lary. That tribunal took the ground
that the old law, being addressed to
all common carriers engaged in inter-
state commerce business at any time
and imposing liabilities upon them
was outside the power Of congress. The
court held in brief that merely be-
cause a railroad at some time did an
interstate business it did not necessar-
lily come under the control of federal
authority. The new law, which will
soon go into effect, was drawn to meet
this objection.
Provision is made in the new law
that railroads shall become responsible
while engaged in" interstate COM
merce.
Lawyers understand pretty well
what the employers liability bill is in
tended to do, but the general public,
including many labor leaders, have
been much at sea on this subject. The
new law is necessary to modify the
principle which grew up in England,
where it was first enunciated in 1887,
and where it became part of the COM
mon law of that kingdom. 1t was held
In the courts here as a part OF the
general common law. altho it mani
festly grew out OF class relations in
Great Britain which really do not eX-
ist here Whether it was justified in
the first place, it is quite certain that
modern conditions of employment nave
rendered necessary the repeal by stat
ute of what is known as the fellow
servant principle of the English COM
mon law.
This theory was that an employer
was not responsible for damages when
the injury was caused by the negli-
gence of an other employe. The theory
of the law was that if two men We're
working side by side it was the duty
ol each to guard himself against the
negligence Of the other, or to stop work
and notify his employer. 1t was as
sumed that the employer could not
watch all of his men and that they
must assume liability for injury they
did to each other. That was all we'll
many years ago when people worked
in small shops, were acquainted with
the habits of one another, and watched
them at their work. It did not do
at all in large corporations, where one
employe was liable to death or injury
as result of the negligence of another
who might be far removed from him
and whom he probably never knew or

Millinery Massacre Lessening Audubon
Workers Declare.

New York, April 10.-Less bird blooo
has been spilled to decorate the Easter
bonnets of American women this year
than ever in recent history, it was de-
clared by experts in this city today
Based on careful examination of the
millinery market as well as reports
from agents thruout the country, this
conclusion was announced at the
headquarters of the National Associa-
ton of Audubon Societies. With the
help of the million women members OF
the National Federation Of Women's
Clubs and other organizations, the Au-
dubon workers promise to keep UP
their fight against this fashionable
form of bird butchery till preparation
for Easter Sunday no longer means a
massacre of breeding birds.
That a minority among the women
of this country still demands the
bloody scalps of the mother heron for
aigrettes is shown by the illicit and
secret traffic in these plumes which Of

secretly secured, as we'll as southern
Europe, Africa, and Asia, for this nup-
tial plume of the breeding heron.
Baked in their repeated attempts to
secure legislation in New York state
to make prosecution of such traffit,
possible. the Audubon workers are to-
day unable to effectively check the
distribution from this city of aigrettcs
irrespective of where they come from
to the women who still wear them.

that American women are standing SO
