MONEY IN ABUNDANCE
ALL BANKS FORTIFIED AGAINST
EMERGENCY.
Dividends Are PIentifuI-Financiers
Argue That Panics Foreseen
Never Come.

Westinghouse is unlikely that
there will be any shortage of money
this fall anywhere in the United
States. This is not to be construed
as a promise to any particular in1i
vidual, but is the large, personal view
Of the treasury department, whose
hand is on the pulse of the nations
financial and business life and repre-,
sents the opinion OF officials who con
stantly watch for symptoms of any
stringency.
They give these reasons for their
prediction of plentiful money.
Primarily, the banks saw what ap-
peared to be a money shortage COM
ing several months ago. They knew
they could expect no help from the
United States treasury, such as they
got in 1903, and prepared themselves.
They have piled up gold, built up re
serves and cut down risky loans and
bonds or other securities which might
not be easy to sell have been turned
into money.
Panics fOreseen never come, finan-
ciers Jay. Money is plentiful in Eng
land and OF the continent of Europe.
Nearly every crop in this country
this year is reported to be a bumper
one.
Corn will set a new record. Four
fifths Of the crop has been gathered,
so the chances of loss from frost is
small. The oats crop is the greatest
in years.
The cotton crop will be 100000
bales greater than it was last year.
Nearly all other crops are reported
very large.
Next month, it is estimated, invest
ors all owe the country will receive
nearly $40, OOO, 1000 in dividend checks
from industrial, railroad and other cor
porations. That will add, of course.
to the money generally in circulation.

MASKED MEN ROBTRAIN
FACE FIVE MAIL CLERKS AND GET
AWAY WITH MAIL.
Officers n B~Ioodhounds Securing
Louisiana Swamps for Robbers,
Who Made Good Escape.

New OrIeans.-Train robbers found
the ideal spot for their ~nefarious bust
ness when they held up and robbed
the mail car of the Texas express or
the Southern Pacific railroad at Avon
dale at 10 O'Clock Monday night and
escaped with their plumber in the
darkness.
The train left the city at 9 o'clock
and was ferried across the river as
the city. The mail, being in front,
was in the first section Of the train
taken from the ferry on the other side
Of the river, and his was placed at
some distance from the river bank.
When the switch engine vent back
for the other section, two masked rob-
bers entered the mail car and, pre-
five mail clerks in the cars, ordered
them back against the wall Of the
car, while they gathered the regis
tered mail pouches together and threw
them off.
The train crew searched around for
a time, but found no trace Of the rob-
bers. Sheriff Marrero got bloOdhOunds
ity.
The spot where the robbery took
place is a very desirable one, being
simply a series of switch tracks on a
low bank of the river, with willow
trees and thick underbrush surround
ing the tracks,.

Herbert Knox Smith Gives Result Of
Investigation.

Washington, d. C.-Probably the
greatest single deterrent to water ter

the present adverse attitude of rail

ROOSEVELT A WINNER
NAMED FOR CHAIRMAN OVER
SHERMAN, 568 TO 443.
E~x-President Hits Corruption-Gruber
Brands Roosevelt a Hip Pocket
Statesman.

Saratoga, n. Y.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt rode today on the top wave
of victory, defeating Vice-President
Sherman for temporary chairman of
the Republican state convention and
bowling over the old guard in the
first engagement of a series Of con-
i1cts that are to come.
There were 1,011 votes cast in the
convention, of which Colonel ROOSe-
welt received sos and Vice-President
Sherman received 443, thus electing
the leader of the prOgressives by a
majority of 125.
Colonel Roosevelt spoke feelingly Of
what President Taft had accomplished
in his administration in his speech as
temporary chairman, saying that the
laws passed reflect high credit on all
who succeeded in putting them in
their present shape upon the statute
books. They represent an earnest Of
the achievement which is to come,
and the beneficence and far-reaching
Importance of this work done for the
whole people measure the credit
which is rightfully due to congress
and to our able, upright and distin-
guished president, William Howard
Taft.
Colonel Roosevelt bitterly assailed
the "bosses," declaring that the differ
ence between a boss and a leader is
that the leader leads and the boss
drives.
The difference is that the leader
holds his place by firing the con-
rrionno onI onnno1inO tn tho reason
of his followers and the boss holds
the place by crooked and underhand
manipulation" he said.
Abraham Gruber of New York, who
had been selected to fire the road
side Of the old guard against Colonel
Roosevelt's selection, said
Twelve years ago, on this platform,
l warned a Republican convention
against turning the executive mansion
into a shooting gallery. My advice
was not needed. Since that memora-
Bile day the man who has ever since
been shooting has seer his party or
ganization divided in every state, his
party's candidates overwhelmingly de-
feated, business depressed and the in
telliSent and honest workingmen with
out employment and hungry.
~"LOOking for other fields for shoot
ing practice, this man is now shooting
at the courts and its judges. Himself
posing as a lawyer who never had a
case or drew a brief, he now finds
sport in holding up the courts and
judges to the scorn of the mob. But
his is not a new symptom. It is an
old disease. This apostle of Der
ringer practice, while be was presi-
dent, abused Judge Humphrey Of the
United States court, a gentleman and
honest man, for rendering a decision
which was made according to the law
and Which to this day is unreversed.
When the United States appellate
court reversed Judge Lands, the same
shooter, not from the head of a bar
rel, but from the White House. sancti-
fed by Abraham Lincoln, told the peo-
pie Of the United States that the
judges had been guilty OF miscarrying
Justice"
