american Promoter
Is Through Floating
Big Loan to China

"A. Wendell jackson. the American pro-
moter who was chiefly responsible for
the notation IN London last summer OF
the so-calied Independent" loan of
SIS, ,Oo0.eo0 to China. has severed his con-
nection with the project, of which he
was the originator. 1t was learned here
yesterday. Mr.. Jackson slipped into
washington for a few hours Tuesday
afternoon, and left the distinct impress
sion with whom he talked that he was
through with promoting loans TO China.
II is understood that Mr.. Jackson has
transferred his entire interest In the
matter to Crisp & Co., bankers, Of Lon
don, who acted as the financial agent
In the actual issuance Of the paper for
the 81. 10000 loan. At the time II was
ANNOUNCED that the loan would be for
$50,0O6000. and that the $25.oe0OO0 was
simply the first installment.

BERGER OPTIMISTIC
OYERPARTYFUTURE
Socialist Representative Says They
Win Poll 100000 Next
Election.

Declaring that 'ff It had not been for
Mr.. Roosevelt and his semi-Socialist plat
form. the Socialists would undoubtedly
have polled 100000 votes in the last
election, instead Of 100000, Representa-
tive Victor Berger. the only Socialist In
Congress. predicted yesterday that the
new Democratic administration under
President-elect Wilson, would fail to sat
isfy the people, and that there would
be big Industrial panic in the course
OF the next two years.
The Republican party was smashed,
but the Democratic party was almost
repudiated." says Berger. analyzing the
result of the election. and pointing out
that Wilson had 100000 less votes than
William J. Bryan polled four years ago.
THE Democratic party, Of course" con-
tinued Berger. will haye all the Federal
Offices for four years, and Is therefore.
jubilant But It will also have all the
responsibilities and troubles during the
next four years that the Republican
party has had in the past And the
Democratic leaders have much less in
sight into economic conditions than have
the Republican leaders.

for its infant industries Now, how Is
the Democratic party 10 make good on
its platform pledges? / shall say nothing
about Tammany as a factor in national
politics Tammany's deeds will speak
loud enough.
But the Democratic party will also
have a hard position on account of the
high cost of living. A dollar to-day buys
as much of the necessities OF life as 50
cents did about twelve years ago. How
will the Democrats change that? But IL
they do not change II, there will be a
political revolution two years hence and
four years hence.

from the general opinion that the Pro-
gressive party is going to die because
Theodore Roosevelt was not elected Pres
ident of the United States. Roosevelt Is
not the Progressive party. Moreover.
Roosevelt has shown Infinitely more. per-
sOnal strength than either Wilson or
Taft. There can be no doubt that IL he
had been nominated as the candidate of
the Republican party in Chicago that
he would have carried the country once

and full equipment of fire apparatus

neat is conveyed to the structure through
n tunnel running from the plant under

minds of the Auerhachs five years ago.
A careful study Of locations, the bust
ness growth of the city and many other
factors Of Importance followed until
the scheme to establish new retail
center at State street and Broadway
resulted. The site at the southwest
corner was originally selected, and Il
building planned, which has since been
erected, but which will be occupied
by another big department store. 1t
was decided TO remodel and altcratc
the old knutslord hotel for the new
Aucrbach department store.
When this plan became public. there
were many who doubted that it could
be successfully carried out The Auer-
bachs themselves admit that there were
many problems to solve and many
headaches TO endure. But they went
about their task, with the results and
successes that are now easily apparent
Weeks of rcmodcling, reconstrurtions,
resurfacing and careful installation
gradually transformed the old corner
into brand new structure. which is
ideal for the purposes of big. modern
department store. A noteworthy fea~
ture N connection with the change is
that the Auerbachs were their own
architects. Years of study and extended
trips east and west brought distinct
ideas Of what department store should
bc-and these IDEAS have been carried
ont to the letter,

Close of the Old Store.

Ten days ago the store on Main
street was closed and the final transfers
of stock were made The entire work
ing forces of the concern went over to
the new home, where, day and night,
they have labored like beavers. led by
officials of the company, in preparing
for the grand opening, The old store
and all its stock, one might say, could
be neatly placed in one corner OF the
new store, which represents q home aud
business of immensely greater proper
tions. With amazing attention to de.
tails and by the expenditure of vast
sum, the Auerbacb company has made
its new store as complete and attractive
as one could hope TO find, This asser-
tion is all the more significant when
IT is remembered the excellent basis
and mp todate scale upon which the
store was conducted at its former loca-
tion.
The new store is six stories high with
a basement. The main entrance is at
the corner of State street and Broad.
way. The frontages on both streers,
so far as the ground floor is concerned,
present a solid array Of wide pla tc
glass display windows, whose arrauge-
ment and electric accoutrement could
