FOR4KER'S Plans.
To Contest for District Delegates
Comedies Rest to Taft.

Cincinnati Jan. 2O.-A plan of campaign to
fight for the district delegates 10 the national
convention from Ohio's twenty-one Congress
districts and allow Secretary Taft TO have the
four delegates -at-large without a contest was
suggested in an interview this afternoon by
Senator Joseph B. Foraker. who arrived here to-
day from Washington on business He main
tains that the call the state convention is il
legal and that therefore he will not take part
in the selection Of its delegates After declar-
ing that there had been no "overtures Of peace"
either to or by him. he said:
so far as the state convention is concerned
have not changed my opinion that the call for
IT is Illegal and uniustly burdensome- On that
account as 1 have heretofore announced. shall
not make any effort to comply with its terms
and conditions, nor will my friends make any
such effort except only as their local conditions
may prompt them TO do So
"Of course the delegates selected to the state
convention will all be for Taft, for there VIII
be no opposition. This does not apply. however
70 the Congress districts. They are not under
the control of the state central committee and
are not bound by anything the state convention
NAV do. Each district will elect its own dele
gates in its own way. What the districts may
do remains TO be seen"

BANK H HEAVY, LOAD.
Wr. Morgan Unscilling to Make
Further 1dUances to SoUereign.

Toronto, Jan. 20-The immediate cause of the
suspension Of the Sovereign Bank was the
fusal of J. Pierporit Morgan, acting for him
self and the Dresdner Bank, to make any further
advances. The sum of $500 900 would have en-
abed the bank to weather the gale. At the
same time. it was owing to Mr.. Morgan and his
interests that the bank was not forced to go into
liquidation last June. The present debt of the
Sovereign Bank to the Morgan interests is So.

The Indebtedness has been steadily growing
since the reorganization. when the loans scat
tered among the banks of Europe amounted 20
more than $3,30O000. AS these fell due Mr.
Morgan advanced the money for their payment
Nearly all these foreign loans were made in
the last two years, and this was the real danger
point when the present manager took over the
control formerly held by D. NJ. Stewart AS
these loans fell due the money to pay them was
advanced by Mr. Morgan until he was creditor
to the extent of more than s2,00O,000. During
the recent financial crisis in the United States
money continued 10 be loaned by the Morgan
firm
The reason generally assigned for the assist
ance proffered by these outside institutions is
that between them they held more than one
third of the capital stock of the bank The
Dresdner Bank held 54O0 shares and Mr.. Nor
shares valued At more than 100000.
Since the reorganization the DreSdner inter
ests have decreased their holdings only. 200
shares and Mr. Morgan has retained his hold
ings-
Although nothing official has been given out
1t Is known that officers of the Sovereign are
considering whether the bank can legally claim
recovery of part or all Of the s2,500000 writ
ten off last May This money is said to have
been converted into losses within a year.
