ON CENTRAL AMERICA
Conference Being Held at Prssi.
dents Summer Home.
SERIOUS CONDITIONS EXIST
Those Participating Include Mr..
Roosevelt, the Mexican Ambassa-
dor, Assistant Secretary of State
Bacon and w. {. Buchanan.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 20.-A con-
ference having, 1t is believed, an i'm
portant bearing on the serious situa.
ton existing In Central America is
being held at Sycamore Hill. Those
participating, besides President Roose-
velt, are the Mexican ambassador to
the United States, w. /. Buchanan
and Assistant Secretary of State Rob
ert Bacon. The conference promises
to extend over several days.
Assistant Secretary Bacon, when
shown a dispatch from Mexico City
in which 1t was said that the result
of President Cabrera's rule or ruin
policy In Guatemala would be the es-
tablishment of a protectorate over
that country either jointly by the
United States and Mexico or by one
of these nations individually, said:
There is nothing in that story;
It's pipe dream"
Neither Senior Creel nor Mr.. Bu-
chanan would admit that their visit
to the president had any connection
with the Central American situation.
Ambassador Creel, when asked what
he thought of the report from Mexico
City that the United States and Mex
leo, or one of those countries alone,
might establish a protectoTate over
Guatemala if President Cabrera con-
tinued his rule or ruin policy, said he
did not believe that such a thing
would ever occur. The present method
of maintaining peace in Central Amer
lea, he said, had been working sue
cessfully for the past twelve months
and he believed it would continue to
be a success as long as the United
States and Mexico were bound by
treaty to see that the countries did
not encroach upon the rights of each
other

In FINANCIAL TROUBLE.
Brokerage Firm of Cameron currie
G. Co. of Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, July 20.-The bro
kerage firm of Cameron Currie & Co.
of this city went into the hands of a
receiver through a bill filed in the
Wayne circuit court by Cameron Cur
rie against his partner, Louis Fl. Case,
asking a dissolution of partnership.
Fred G. Austin was appointed receiver
by Judge Mandell, with a bond of
S250,000. 1t is said that no other De-
troit financial institution is involved
In the difficulties of Currie & Co. Prac-
tically the only charge which Mr.. Cur
rie makes in his bill for the dissolu-
tion of partnership is that Mr.. Case,
in taking orders from customers, did
not secure enough cash to cover the
purchase of stocks and bonds by the
firm and that the firm in this way
became obligated to others to the ex-
tent of about S1,045, 900. According
to Judge Mandell Mr.. Case admitted
this charge
Mr. Currie stated that the receiver
ship had been determined upon after
a thorough discussion of the firms
troubles, as the best way of weather
ing them and most promising manner
of collecting the heavy Indebtedness
from customers whom they had been
carrying on their books.a
Currie & Co. issued a statement in
which they declare that the ability of
the firm to pay its debts depends
wholly upon the amount of the out
standing accounts, amounting to ST.
045, 900, which can be collected. They
say if 60 per cent of the accounts
prove good the firm will be able to
pay its debts in full. The statement
also says that the firms embarrass-
ment is entirely due to the failure of
customers to make good their mar
gins.
The liabilities of Currie e Co. total
in the neighborhood of from 100000
to 100000. OF the Indebtedness it is
said about $5OO,0OO, owed to various
banks and trust companies, many of
them in the East, is fully secured.

SOME ALARM CAUSED.
Weak Pier Found in PhiladeIphia's
S30.ooo,ooo City Hall.

Philadelphia, July 20-A discovery
by workmen in the basement of Phil
adelphia's great city hall that a pier
supporting a portion of the seven
story wall on the east side of the
building had become weakened and
threatened to collapse led to the en-
ployment of a big force of men to
shore up the shaky support. The
state department of the city treas
urer's Office on the third floor was
ordered to vacate its rooms immedi-
ately.
City Architect Powell and other
officials declare that she early discov-
cry of the dangerous condition of the
pier has precluded any likelihood of
a serious accident, though they ad-
NIT uneasiness and affirm that to
forestall the collapse of a portion of
the wall delicate work will be neces-
sary and will consume several weeks
time.
Thus far there has been no settling
of the main floor above the column.
Every pier and column supporting
walls and floors of the S30.000 600
municipal building will be carefully
overhauled and, if necessary, strength
ened.

SOLD BY HER BROTHER.
Michigan Girl Rescued From Chicago
Resort.

Chicago, July 20.-Detectives res
cued a nineteen-year-old girl from a
resort at 2001 Armour avenue after
she had complained that she had been
sold into white slavery by her
brother. BY means of bribe the
girl succeeded in getting a letter to
her mother. a cripple, in a hospital at
Eloise, Mich. This letter was re-
turned to Assistant States Attorney
Roe.
According to the story told by the
girl, Lorraine Wright, her brother,
Charles Wright, believed to be a
piano player in the levee district, per-
suaded her to come to Chicago, where,
he said, he could secure a good posi-
tion for her.
On her arrival in this city three
months ago he took her to the resort,
which he called a cafe. Until after
he had left she did not know the ma
ture of the place. When she said that
she would leave her clothes were
taken from her. She had not been
outside of the house since.
Frank Lewis and his wife, the pro-
prietors of the place, were arrested.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

Hill Prefers Raising Freight Rates to
Meet Conditions.


New York, July 20.-James j. Hill,
chairman of the Great Northern board
of directors, is of the opinion that the
only solution of the financial problem
that confronts the railroads is an in
crease in freight rates. Mr.. Hill is
strongly opposed to a cut in wages
as a means of increasing the net earn
ings of the railroads.
Mr.. Hill, who has just returned
from a fishing trip In Canada, made
the following statement:
There is no alternative but to
raise rates. The credit of the rail-
roads has been seriously impaired.
The way to enhance credit is to in
crease rates.
Wages should not be cut. Eff
cient labor is essential to successful
operation Railroad employees have
peculiar responsibilities. They have
to meet hard test. They should get
fair recompense Cut wages 10 per
cent and the man who got S15 last
week gets $3.50 this week. 1t is the
difference between meat and no meat.
Freight rates in this country are
low beyond comparison. Receiving
but one-half and even one-third of
rates received in European countries
the wages paid railroad employees here
average 100 per cent higher than those
paid in Europe"
According to President ]. T. Hara'
han of the Illinois Central railroad
there are just three ways in which
the problems may be solved. They
are increased rates, decreased wages
or increased business.
