New York. Dec. s.--President Elect William H. Taft, who came to New York to address the North Carolina society, was given tumultuous recep- tion by prominent men from all parts of the south at the annual dinner of the North Carolinians at the Hotel As tor.
 Mir, Taft in the course of an address urged that the voters of the south should break away from the outlived sentiment and traditions of their past political affiliations and cast their bal lots in accordance rather with their economic and real political beliefs
 MT. Taft declared that nothing would give him greater pride during his coming term in the chief executive office than to so direct the policy of the national government with respect to the southern states as to convince the intelligent citizens of the south of the desire of his administration to aid them in working out satisfactorily the SeIlous plOuiCIho DcIoic tuSb anu oA bringing them and their northern fel- low citizens closer and closer In sym pathy and point of view.
 During the last decade said Mir. Taft, lin common with all lovers of our country. I have watched with de- light and thanksgiving the bond of union between the two sections grow tirmer. I pray that it may be given to me to strengthen this movement, to obliterate all sectional lines and leave nothing of difference between the north and south save friendly emula, tion for the benefit of our common country"
 MT. Taft frankly expressed himself regarding the so called negro ques- tion'' and declared that neither he nor the Republican party had any idea of forcing upon the people of the south the dominance of an ignorant class.
 Tt seems to me-" he declared, that there is or ought to be common ground upon which we can all stand in respect to the race question in the south and Its political bearing that takes away any justification for main. taining the continued solidity of the south to prevent the so called negro domination

 Washington. Dec. S-P. J. Kieran, former president of the Fidelity Fund ing company. who is in this city when seen today denied many of the state- ments made by Receiver Thomas GIL roy in regard to the affairs of the con- pany. He said that the company, it would be found, has a surplus of $400,- : GOO, the assets amounting to $500 900 and the liabilities to only $3,500,00o.
 MT. Kieran branded as untrue Mir. Gilroy's statement that he has secreted some of the books of the company. He stated that Mir. Gilroy is acting in the entire affair as the tool of the Windsor Trust company, which holds papers amounting to about SAC, 900 belonging to the Fidelity Funding company and which it wishes to cover up and not hand over. Mir. Kieran said that most of these papers are In the form of promissory notes.
 According to Receiver Gilroy, sev- eral hundred stockholders and credit ors of the Fidelity Funding company, officers of Catholic churches, colleges and semiparies, priests and nuns. will lose S4,5o0,OOO by the failure.
 The company. whose business was that of financing the building of churches and Catholic institutions. has gone into bankruptcy
 Mir Gilroy said that the liabilities of the company were between S4. .50O. 600 and $5,0O0.000. while he can find very little assets He added that he had not seen Kieran since Oct. %.
 Mr. Gilroy has received anxious in quiries from priesyts and nuns in Penn sylvania, Iowa, Missouri. Texas, Hi nois. Ohio, Washington and even Can ada who wish to know about notes and bonds that represent millions.
 The implicit confidence which sisters and priests reposed in the company is illustrated in the case of the Benedic- tine sisterhood.
