Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 9.-The outcome Of
the Erie situation yesterday afternoon
figured prominently in the discussion of
the stock market in financial quarters
this morning and the action Of Mr.. Harri-
man was generally commended. and it was
pointed out that If the Erie property
had been allowed to go into the hands of
receivers at this time the effect upon the
railroad and financial situation would
have been considerably worse than has
been predicted recently. 1t has been
claimed that Wall street was fully pre-
pared for such crisis and that conse-
quently the effect upon the stock market
would have been only slight and tempo
rary. A prominent corporation lawyer. in
commenting upon the part taken by Mr.
Hartman in saving the Erie from its
present financial difficulties. said that in
his judgment it was the most brilliant
stroke he had ever made.
The speculative contingent argued last
night and again this morning that Mr..
Hartman would not put the amount Of
money into the Erie that he has recently
pledged to that property if he did not
have genuine confidence In the future Of
the company and Of the country In fact
timistic view Of things in general by rea-
son Of what he has agreed to do for the
Erie.
While the public interest in the Mexican
railway merger may not be large. by
reason of the fact that the Mexican gov
eminent Is already the owner Of a prac-
teal ajority Of both the National and
Central roads. and because it is under
stood that the minority holdings in both
companies are not widely scattered. still
1t is believed in important circles that the
bringing out of this merger at this time
will tend to restore confidence in our own
railroads and finances.
This assumption is made on the theory
that the important international bankers
who, In conjunction with the Mexican
government, are sponsors in this under
taking would not have launched 1t now
IL they did not believe that conditions In
the United States and in Europe would
steadily improve from about this date.
Attention was called to the fact this
morning that not for many months has the
general situation been SO free from i'm
pending developments as is true just now.
While 1t is feared that considerable weak
ness exists in a well-known group of rail-
roads. 1t has not been learned that any
unpleasant announcements may be looked
for in the immediate future.
With the excellent condition of the
growing crops and the Erie situation ad-
justed. for time, at least. 1t Is thought
that the sentiment will be more cheerful.
unless some unexpected developments of
an unfavorable character should be made
known.

Or osEs GUARANTEE PLAN
Address Of President Of American
Bankers Associations.

Bankers Association.
Denver, Oct President j O..
Powers, in his annual address at the
convention Of the American Bankers
association, devoted practically his
entire time to the recent panic and
his opposition to the proposition to
guarantee bank deposits, which, he
kaid, would not have been heard of in
the present political campaign had
there been no financial panic.
OF the panic he said that few finan-
cial storms occur without attending
benefits, frequently greater than the
disaster wrought. The unhealthy con-
ditions that surrounded many bank
Ing institutions in New York required
Just such heroic treatment to allay
the money mad fever which had pos
sessed them. The banks suffered by
allowing the borrower rather than the
lender to fix the price of collaterals
pledged for loans. -...-.. j.. .-. =. i
"Now that the panic is behind us, "
he said, slet us look to the needs of
the present Let us do this by a calm
and dispassionate examination into
our general banking and financial pol
icy and especially our currency sys'
tenn"
He did not believe this could be
done through the ordinary channels
of mere legislation. 1t must be the
work of experts and not of theoretical
fnanciers. ''They should be-" he de-
clared, men who understand the ne
cessity for and Importance of Kidding

gal tender greenbacks by their final
redemption and retirement; by a sane
and safe means of gradual change

In Memoriam.

On June The 25th. just as the beauti-
full sun was sending his first golden
rays over this fair land of Dixie" one
of those beautiful angels of Coo Wen
ded its way back to earth and called I'M
to its Father the sweet spirit of Prof
D. o. Hawkins, and in his going away
he left wife to look and cry. Oh, God
how can it be.
Dee, as he was generally known had
been sick only short time; and those
nearest and dearest to him did not
realize that his earthly mission must
soon end, until few hours before his
! death.
He was born Jan. % 1886, being the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joel Hawkins.
He educated himself for teacher.
The writer had known him for mum.
Der OF years more quiet and pious
young man we never knew. Striving
for the upbuilding of himself and his
| country, and would one day have made
his mark in the world, but, God who
doeth all things has called him from
the walks of man.
He was married to Miss Pearl Young
on Oct. q 1907, and happier union
was never consumated, what was one S
the others pleasure, and in his last
moments he requested his father and
brother to always see that Pearl was
taken care of. He then turned to his
father in law. J. P. Young, and in
words that would almost melt the hard
est heart, gave back to him his daugh-
err, and said: Take good care of
Pearl, thus closed the life of one who
trusted Jesus for it all, being fully rec,
onciled and satisfied of home hey ond.
He was laid to rest in the cemetery
at Spring Hill, where a very large
crowd had gathered to bear testimony
to the esteem in which he was held and
to express the sympathy of the COM
munity to the heart broken ones.
By request Rev. Frank Williams OF
ltawamba county conducted the funer-
al services and as theme he used
when a man dies shall he live again,
and with these remarks every one was
made to feel that soon we would all
pass over, under the shade of the
trees and dwell forever.

Resolutions Addressed to Western

and Are Referred 70 Committee
New Presidential Possibility.

Chicago, May 11.-Today's proceed
ings Of the socialists national conven-
tion were warm. No sooner was the
convention actively in operation than
Delegate Guy Miller Of Colorado Of
fered the following resolutions ad-
dressed to the Western Federation Of
Miners:
."rhe socialist party sends greet
ings. We congratulate you upon the
splendid battle and fine indication Of
your organization. We condemn with
you the use Of federal troops to de-
stroy labor organization in Alaska.
We are with you, not only until Adams
and the last Of the victims Of the
5Pinkertons are liberated. but until all
OF the toilers walk out from the pris-
on pens Of poverty into the sunlight
OF economic freedom"
Miller asked that the resolution be
adopted at once but an amendment
was offered referring It to the resolu-
y Id - l.. 1
tions committee The result was an
uproar which continued for two hours
without action being taken. Finally
by vote of SO to 80 it was referred
to the committee on resolutions.
Badgers Threaten to Bolt.
Another lively skirmish occurred
over proposal to make a special ap-
peal to the trades unions in behalf Of
the socialist party principles. When
the verbal contest was at its height
the Wisconsin delegation threatened
to bolt the convention unless it stood
by the policy of appealing to the men
in the trades unions. Eventually q
committee Of seven to consider the
situation was ordered appointed.
Indications during the day pointed
to new possibility in the race for
the presidential nomination in the
person Of A. NJ. Simons Of Illi1pis.
Ben Hanford OF New York, vice pfesi-
Dental candidate In 1904, was also
discussed informally by the delegates
as eligible for the honor.
