AMERICAN MILLIONS FOR
BERING STRAIT RAILWAY?

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 1s.-The
Novoe Vremya says that Delobel, the
engineer whose project for a railway
across Boring Straits was rejected by
the Russian government, has APP
preached the government with another
proposition which involves the con
struction Of a railway starting at
Tchita, a town $40 miles east of Ir-
kutsk. \
Delobel offers on behalf Of a group
Of American capitalists to deposit f40.-
900, 900 (nearly 5000, 900, 000) with the i'm
perial Russian treasury as a guarantee
Of the complete execution of the pro-
ject.
1t is stipulated in the proposal that
the constructing engineer shall be an
American, but the employees Of lower
rank are to b Russians exclusively.
All the materials, SO far as possible.
are to be bought in Russia.

MARKED INCREASE IN
BANK PAYMENTS.
Active Stock Market Is Respon'
sible for Showing.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
Bank olearings show a marked in
crease in the volume of payments
through tho banks, not only in New
York. where the increase is heavy, in
large easur due to the very active
stock market trading, but at a number
oil other leading cities and at most
cities where losses still appear they are
materially reduced. Total bank ex-
changes this week al all leading cities
in the United States are 49, 7s. 277, 6s5,
an Increase of 7.S per cent. compared
with the corresponding week of 1906.
The large gains. over a year ago are
~unimportant because OF the disturbed
conditions prevailing then. and they
serve only to show how severe those
conditions were. Philadelphia. Pitts
burg, Cleveland, New Orleans and Sau
Francisco still report considerable de-
creases compared with 1906. but at New
J York. Boston and most cities In the
West tAere are gains.

DON'T CARE WHO OWNS
PAPER, TEDDY SAYS
Standard Oil Banks Head Has
Only 10 Per Cent. OF Stock,
Treasurer Says.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Much inter
est was o~ccasioned today by the pub
location of a report that James Still
man, president of the National City
Bank, popularity known as the stan
dard OIL bank" is controlling owner
of the Outlook. Of which Theodore
Roosevelt will become a contributing
editor" when he retires as President.
The report credited Mr.. Stillman with
owning 1000 of the total issue of 1,50O
shares Mr.. Stillman is in Paris.
1.-The company is not a public serv-
ice corporation" says william b.. How
land, treasurer and director. 1T is
under no obligation TO give the names
OF its stockholders. Its directors
names may be found in the manuals,
and the name of Mr.. Stillman is moi
one of them"
Mr.. Rowland said there has been nc
recent change in the control Of the
Outlook company. ~ $50
Later, however, Mr.. Rowland issued
. formal statement In which he de-
clared that Mr.. Stillman has owned
less than 10 per cent of the stock of
the Outlook Company for nearly thirty
years. The remainder of the stock of
the company, he said. Is owned by
those engaged in the active manage
ment Of the company.
This IL Rockefeller's hugest joke"
was the comment of a prominent inan-
cier In the Lawyers Club last night.
1T was regarded as overwhelmingly
funny In Wall Street that so shrewd a
man A. the President could Il been
enlisted to increase the circulation of
tho Outlook and help give 1t a wider
field to repeat in different form the
many kind things II has said of the
Standard Oil corporation.
It was not assumed for a moment
that the President ever had the vaguest
idea concerning Stillman's connection
with tho Outlook, which is respected
by every preacher and churchgoing
person In the country as a publication
Of the highest character,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-The fol-
lowing official statement was made at
tho White House today:
1.-THE President has not the slightest
concern with the question as to who
are the stockholders of the Outlook.
His concern is with the general policy
Of the paper, which is and has been
consistently admirable in every respect.
The President will be responsible only
for what he himself writes; and his
probable future attitude must be
{ Judged by his actions In the past"

JULY 23RD. IS
FIXED AS DAY
Naval Feature of Celebration Is An
Assured Success and Gary Com
mercial Clubs Plans Are Assuming
Definite Shape After Several Dis
appointments.

The plans for the celebration of
the arrival of the first Ore-laden boat
in the Gary harbOr are fast developing
from n stage of embryo to something
definite and tangible.
With an infectious enthusiasm the
Gary Commercial club members have
gone about the work of securing the
speakers until now it has been assured
that Congressman E. ID. Crumpacker
and Congressman james II. Mann will
be present. They have sent in their
acceptances and the project of deep
waterways will receive great deal
of impetus result Of their visit to
Gary.
The exact date of the arrival of the
ore boat E. H. Gary has been set for
July %, and it will be on this date
that the Gary Commercial club viii
extend itself in an effort to make a
great celebration of the affair.
Vice President Disappoints.
A special train has been secured on
the c., L. S. & e. railroad over which
the guests will be taken to South Chi
cago to meet the E. II. Gary. The only
disappointment which the committee
has met so far is the fact that Homer
j. Carr, after travelling all of the way
to indianapolis to personally invite
| Vice President c. w. Fairbanks to be
present discovered that his trip would
! be in vain, for the reason that the In
| diana statesman has already accepted
| an invitation to participate in a cele-
bration in Canada.
1t is very probable, however, that
some one who would be equal to the
vice president as an attraction can be
secured and that the Commercial club
will entertain many distinguished
! guests on the occasion which means
so much to the city of Gary.
Prospects Are Bright.
| The developments in the past few
! days look as if the original elaborate
! plans could be carried out in detail.
| There has not been one serious thing
| to cause a hitch and the arrangement
committee is most optimistic over the
prospect. The revenue cutters and the
training ship Dorothea have received
permission from the government to es-
cort the Gary into the Gary harbor and
to fire off salute of twenty-one guns.
| This makes the navel feature of the
| celebration an assured success and will
/
seen in the middle west.
The plan of having the members of
the Commercial club go to South Chi
cago with their guests, where they
would meet the f. H. Gary and her
escort, has been made possible because
of the fact that the c., L. S. & E. rail-
road is willing to give the special train
for the purpose and will run it near
the harbor at South Chicago.
Ceremony To BE Impressive.
After the arrival of the boats in
the Gary harbor and the salute has
been fired, the congressman will give
short talks from the bridge of the
boat after which a buffet luncheon
will be served to the party. The steel
mills will then be inspected and the
parade through the city will follow.
A few distinguished government a
terway officials have been invited to
be present and a number of them have
accepted among them being T. NJ

sion, and VIII Ames,
