Thines look remarkably bright for
he building of the Ardmore- LaWton
railway: In fact the Ardmorelte
feels so much confidence in the en-
tcrprise that it is willing to say tina
now the road is to all intent anc
purposes an assured fact.
Yesterday there arrived III Ard
more the following gentlemen who
are prominently connected with the
enterprise: j. l.. Hamon Of LaWton;
y. G.. Burns of Houston, Texas,
engineer; A. \. Bullitt; engineer; +.
Il. Sutton, OF New York, representing
the financial interests and X. l..
Robertson OF Lawton.
Mr. Robertson is former presiden'
of the Lawton chamber of commerce
and may be said to be the father Of
the enterprise. He had much to do
with originating the idea OF building
The road hIough the territory which
il will traverse and has kept ths
matter agitated and prevented It's
dying a still birth. When the inter
est in the enterprise would wane
and all but die out and the people
generally would shrug their Shout
ders and say. Il told you So his
gentlemen would buckle down and
press others into the harness and
pull hard and strong until me weak
ening interest would be revived and
the road once more brought 10
life. At last this gentleman is going
to see his ceaseless and tireless
CLERGY crowned with success, for the
Ardmore- re-Duncan-Lawton railroad is
going to be built In fact construction
work in small way is going on
even now between Lawton and Dun

In speaking OF the building of the

When asked how soon active con

Mr.. Hamon said that work in a
limited way was going on now at the
Lawton end OF the line, and that
in very short time the work would
be general. You may quote me a
saying Mr.. Hamon said, that with
in the next sixty days one thousand
men and teams will be at work along

vention. The work of preparation was
continued through the day. James r.
Garfield, in discussing the Roosevelt
platform, declared it would be pro-
gressive but that the recall would be
left to the states.
A. Piatt Andrew, assistant secretary
of the treasury, arrived with the
financial plank of the Taft platform.
Personally, he said, he was satisfied
with the Rochester plank but that 9TH
ers seemed to think this should be
amplified in the national platform.
The Taft forces announced that
Senator Clarence Clark OF Wyoming
had been agreed upon for chairman
of the committee on rules and Con-
gresham Olmstead of Pennsylvania
had been selected as parliamentarian
of the convention. There were no
changes announced in regard to the
other committee places previously an
nounced.
Third candidate talk continued in
many quarters. The name of Justice
Hughes was prominent in this discus
sion. Champions of Senator LaFol-
lette and Senator Cummins said they
saw much to favor their candidates in
the Taft-Rosevelt fight.
United States Senator w. S. Kenyon
of Iowa was so enthusiastic regarding
the Cummins cause that he said the
Iowa man would be the choice for the
nomination on the first ballot were
there no instructions.
John J. Hannah of Senator LaFol-
lette's headquarters declared the Wis
consin senator's chances never appear
ed better to him.

rowed bonds, the borrowing having
| been inspired by the leadership of Mr..
Morgan. It was under his leadership
ttat Henry G. Prick, E. H. Hartman,
John d. Rockefeller and others who
were in possession of great amounts of
bonds available as security for gov
ernment deposits in national banks
lent these bonds to the banks that
needed them.
1t is sometimes asked how, if there
was a scarcity of money and if the
rates were so great that brokers would
be ruined If they borrowed money and
paiC these rates, Mr.. Morgan and the
various bankers of New York were
able to utilize and were able to get
together at a few moments notice
The fact is that all the banks of New
York were carrying a considerabl
amount of specie or legal tenders to
protect their reserves and these funds
were utilized. Furthermore Mr.. Nor
gan and Mr.. Stillman were able to
amounts of foreign exchange. Mr..
Stillman, on the day of the failure of
the Knickerbocker Trust, bought, in
the name of the National City bank
nearly ten million of bills drawn by
cotton brokers. In payment he gave
these brokers credit, their checks be-
ing honored by payment through the
Clearing-House association.
The ocean cable made it possible for
Mr.. Stillman to secure Immediately in
London an amount of gold equivalent
to the face of these cotton bills. Tran
sactions of this kind were kept up not
only by Mr.. Stillman, burt by Mr. Nor
gan and others, for several weeks,
but they brought a hundred million
of gold to the United States before
the close of the year every dollar of
which was sent to banks in other parts
OF the country while the New York
banks permitted their legal reserves
to fall to the lowest point ever known.
The Pujo committee can do no better
service, if its desire is to gain infor-
nation which will lead to the protec-
ton of our banking system, than to se-
cure testimony which will tell how the
banks were so financed by cooperation
under Mr.. Morgan's leadership that
they obtained over hundred million
or government money on deposit and
now cooperation again under the
leadership of Mr.. Morgan resulted in
the importation of a hundred millions
OF gold which was distributed through
out other parts of the country and
winch increased the Ioanins CAPACITY
or the banks of the country three
hundred million dollars. thereby
checking and practically ending The

Situation at Chicago Grows
More Intense Every Hour.
The Roosevelt People FOrmu-
late a Desperate Plan.
TO FORCE HIS NOMINATION
AS Soon as the Convention
Opens for Business
Unless Their Defeated Contest
ants Are Given Seats.

Chicago, June 17.-Roosevelt and Taft
leaders after a practically sleepless
night today staked their final hands If.
their bitter struggle with less than 81
hours before the gave1 falls at the
Coliseum for the formal opening of the
Republican national convention tomor-
were subjected to conference room in
terview of a type known in police cir
cles as third degree under ordeals as
hard and cold as the granite blocks
that pave Chicago's streets.
Leaders whose lives have been spent
in the game brought into play ever,
artifce known to modern politics IN
their almost frantic efforts to swing
the balance to Col. Roosevelt Or to
President Taft. Men who were logged
ly standing their ground were told
what might happen to them, not only
this year or next. but four years from
now, unless they agreed to the pro-
grams mapped out by the leaders.
1t was no place for the weak. Keen
eyes and trained ears searched for the
first signs of panic or break at any
point, and as the lines were frightened
to WAIVER even in slight degree were
subjected to a merciless fire.
Running through it all was the con-
stantly recurring fact of the presence
of Col. Roosevelt, himself, leading his
own fight. =
1t was question in final analysis,
as the day wore on of whether the Re-
publican party is bigger than it's con-
trolling body, the national committee
or bigger than any individual candi-
date.
AS 1t Stands Today.
Summarized tersely, the situation Is
whether the Republican elephant" will
respond to the vigorous digs of either
OF two drivers, one ordering it to the
turn to the right or whether it viii
twist it's trunk about each Of the driv-
ers in turn and hurl him aside, to go its
own way. There We're indications today
that the last contingency is not at al
parent that the division of delegates
between Colonel Roosevelt and Presi-
dent Taft on the question o. the nomi-
nation does not hold Oh any other
question to come before the conven-
ton. This was shown plainly by the
of the Virginia delegation. AL
though practically all for the renon1i-
nation of President Taft, one of the
Virginia delegates declared that they
would vote to overrule the action of
the national committee in seating Taft
delegates over Roosevelt delegates
from California, Texas and Washing
ton. This sentiment among arriving
delegates was seized upon quickly by
Colonel Roosevelt and his advisers
who have determined to attempt to
break down President Taft's strength
in the convention through the medium
Of preliminary ballots.
The Roosevelt managers purpose to
force the fight the minute the conven
lion has been called to order by pre-
cipitating a roll call in which only
those delegates whose seats are I'M
debated by Colonel Roosevelt shall
vote.
The Roosevelt men expect to achieve
this end by demanding a roll call on

Holland Discusses the Money
Trust Investigation.
MIR. Perkins Diary That Tells
the Story.
STILL UNPUBLISHED
Committee Failed to Ask Him
for Tt.
Mr.. Morgan and His 25 Million
Dollars.

New York, June 17.-How deep and
abiding the interest in the money pan
ic OF 1907 and low great is the curl
osity that still remains respecting de-
tai-s of the inside history of that panic
and the means which were taken to
end it arc made evident by the pro-
ceedings before the Pujo money trust
investigating committee in the week
which has just ended.
On various occasions since the panic
OF 1907 some part of that history has
been told under oath. There were
frequent references to it when con-
Which was afterward formulated into
the so-caHed Northumberland emer-
gency currency bill. THIS law makes
available some five hundred millions
of currency, most of which, it is I'M
derstood, has been printed so that it
may be ready for instant use whenever
IN the discretion of the secretary of
the treasury the emergency arises.
The complete history of the panic
and the means taken to end il will
probably remain unpublished, al
though a very full history of panic
days Is already in manuscript form:
tent ever to publish it. It is the mar
ration made by George W. Perkins
from day to day while the panic was
in progress and when the measures
were operating.
Every night, no matter how late
the hour, Mr.. Perkins, before goins
to bed, wrote out in the form of a
diary the various incidents of the day.
With almost all of these incidents he
was SO completely associated that he
would be qualified to testify upon
them as a witness before any court.
Very few of the facts set forth in the
diary are hearsay Some of the de-
tails are romantic and, in the best
meaning of the term. sensational. They
disclose the personal and intellectual
characteristics of nearly all of the
men who, as bankers or urgently
pleading brokers, had part in these
proceedings. If published, the diary
would make a book of about forty
thousand words. 1t is Mr.. Perkins
purpose, however. to keep this history
so that he can in the future occasion
ally look at it and call up reminis-
cences of busy past. There was a
before the Stanley investigating COM
mittee, that the committee might have
obtained this complete diary and made
1t a part Of its record. Had Mr.. STAN
have given him this history SO that |
1t might become a, part of the record |
OF the Stanley investigating commit |
tees work.
A Beneficial Investigation.
If the Pujo committee will follow
up the line of investigation which it |
began last week when it summoned
the former president of the stock ex-
Mr. r. H. Thomas, to appear
as a witness, information not merely |
interesting, but sensational in the hest
meaning of the term and sure to be |
of great value to congress whenever
