A Peer Inside the Recent Panie's se-
cret Conferences,

CIV SOUUttGUCtos
Those midnight conferences in MIR.
Morgan's library. with the prosperity
Of the entire country at stake possess
more dramatic interest than any other
feature Of the period OF fear. Car
riagcs and automobiles brought the
best known figures IN the financial
world TO his door; reporters lined the
sidewalks. accosting each man us he
entered the building In the effort to
gather information as TO what was to
be done 10 relieve the situation. Anx-
ious citizens who ordinarily would
long before have been in bed stood
listlessly about. arousing themselves
10 show of interest whenever some
new arrival appeared or when some
man quietly left the conference.
When the runs on the Trust Com
pany OF America and the Lincoln
Trust company. far from abatlng,
seemed TO grow more determined each
day. II became apparent that radical
steps would be necessary TO save the
trust company situation. Mr.. Morgan
called the leading trust company men
10 his library to discuss means of
achieving this end. 1t was late In the
night before the meeting began Mr..
Morgan strolled In. lighted n cigar and
appeared TO be listening with the
deepest interest TO the excited and per-
haps incoherent plans OF the officers

leaned forward.
"Gcn,lcmsn." he said. what you
have said has Interested me greatly.
But II is no longer the time TO talk
about what you would like to do. 1t

lie handed n slip of paper TO the
man nearest him, and after Il few mo.
menls OF painful consideration this
man put down a figure passing the
slip on to his nearest neighbor When
all had put down their figures Mr..
Morgan studied the record with much
Interest, totaing mp the column.

The man nodded. and Mr. Morgan
rang bell, instructing the man who
answered It 10 call up the fnancier and
say that he desired his presence imme-

the reason for the request had been

LINEN FOR EVERYBODY SOON.
New Process viii Make II Almost as
Cheap as Cotton.

Good news for the American woman
is contained In the announcement that
the coming OF linens at prices little
at hand.
Because the process Of transforming
fax straw into linen is so labOrlous
and takes so much time 10y old world
methods the work cannot be done In
the United States at the higher cost OF
labor prevailing here. Before the fax
stalk becomes a handkerchief or a Ia
blecloth II has been weighted down In
water TO disintegrate the fiber from its
woody envelope Then 1t Is stacked in
piles TO dry and rot. Then follow the
combing OF the fiber by hand and the
bleaching. which involves some twenty
odd separate operations Altogether, the
peasant labor Of Belgium, Russia and
other European countries take from
sixteen 10 thirty weeks to do this work
No wonder linen Is expensive
To a Massachusetts inventor Is due
the credit for perfecting a combined
mechanical and chemical process that
produces linen fiber ready for spinning
In twelve hours. Think what this
means In lowering the cost Of shirt
waists. napery, bed linen and every
thing that everybody would rather
nave made OF linen II the cost were
not prohibltive.
Flax straw costs less than a third as
much as cotton. so there never has
been any reason why linen should not
be cheap II a way could be found to
get the fiber from the straw by the
use OF machinery that would save time
and labor and chemicals that would
remove the fax gums and make the
fiber ready for spinning. Confidence
that this has been done Is shown In the
erection OF mills In Massachusetts, and
Vermont that viii operate under the
new oxford linen making process.
Textile experts can see no further OBJ
stacle 10 the establishment OF the in
dustry here on foundation that prom
ises linens at prices within every
body's reach. OF course the profits Of
the mill owners win be enormous, but
the American woman win not COM
plain n linen prices are reduced. say, 80
per cent, which Is well within the
realm Of possibility.

WAY FOUND TO MAKE
LINENS IN AMERICA.


Opens q New Market For Farmers
and viii Add Millions TO Textile
Production.
Another revolution. textile experts
say, Is due 10 occur In the fabric max
ing industry of the United States.
Heretofore, owing to the high cost Of
labor In America II has been impossl-
BILE TO manufacture our linens at home.
American farmers raise millions of
tons of fax. but only for the seed.
The straw from which linen is made Is
burned.
Now Massachusetts inventor has
perfected method of transforming
dax straw into linen fiber that Is com
mercially practicable under the labor
conditions prevailing in the United
States. From sixteen to thirty weeks
are required by old world methods 10
accomplish what the process now con
trolled by the oxford linen mills per
forms In twelve hours
The initial process Of linen making
abroad is to weight down the 1ax
straw in water until the woody "shive"
Is rotted away from the fiber. The
''scutching" and combing Of the straw
that follow are done by hand All Of
this work can now be- done III twelve
hours by machines which loosen the
fiber from the straw and prepare il for
the chemical baths that remove the
gums and oils and bleach the fiber
ready for spinning At recent dem
onstration for the benefit of represent
atives of the press AMI others espe-
cially interested these cher lea! proc
esses Were actually accomplished in a
space of thirty-hye minutes.
The best OF the European methods
secures about 40 pounds of fiber from
thousand pounds Of straw and sac
rlhces the seed crop. BY the Nudge
process 250 pounds of fiber are obtain
ed from the same amount Of straw aft.
er the seed has been saved. The new
process also preserves the shlve for pa.
per making and the tow. which has
many profitable uses. including the
manufacture Of surgical banduges. ma.
chinery waste. etc.
Now Burn Millions OF Tones Of Flax.
\ late bulletin OF the department Of
agriculture says that millions of tons
of straw are burned every year most

Not only is new market now opened

being equipped to produce linens made

Eventually the S22O0000o year

Washington, June 9.-Secretary TAFT
was appealed TO today by the Merchants
association of New York and the Trades
league of Philadelphia TO use his influ-
ence in behalf of credit currency. He
was told that the currency commission

by majority of the members of the
commission and that in this respect the
progressive business interests Of the cOun-
try had not been given a square deal
Failing to get men on the currency com
mission who were regarded as experts tine
associations had come to the secretary in
the hope that the question might in some
manner be taken up at the Chicago con-
vention and made part of the platform
Secretary Taft after expressing his ap-
probation of the compliment shown in the
visit, gave il as his opinion that any
currency plank which the Republican plat
form might contain should state the OBJ
ject 10 be attained rather than any spe-
cific method of reaching the desired re-
suit He disclaimed any right 10 dictate
to the convention on the subject but at
the same time admitted the strength of
the argument which had been made.
