 Afford Chance for Crooks.

Washington. Dec. 13 Senator Root of New \ ork, in the senate today de- livcred speech dealing with the ev ills of imitation in the Democratic eur rency bill that attracted the close at tfntion of senators on both sides Of the chamber.
 Ii was by far the most importan and eloquent address thus far mad, to the country on this live issue. A it's conc fusion the New York senate, was warmly congratulated by associ ates of both parties.
 Mir. Root made several yelled alu sions to high finance that plainty ap pied to the operations of Morse ant the lIeinZe group of finanGiers. He decared that the terms of the admin istraton bill would permit an infla tion of the currency up to the enor nous aggregate of one billion. eight hundred million dollars.
 The New York senator warned the country that imitation possible under the administration bill would result in loss of confidence in Europe ir the soundness of the American fnan- eial system.
 Mr. Root pointed out that in the past when an emergency arose the government, itself came to the tciei of commerce and issued it's own bonds to supply the needed gold. That, he said, could not be done under the pending bill.
 Refers to Bryan. Expressing the view that the mer who would be apointed as memDers of the federal reserve board would bt of the highest character. Senator Root referred briefly to the part played by Secreary Bryan in the construction o1 Section XVI, without, however, men tioning him by name and declared that these members of the fedora board undoubtedly would be approved by the authority so potent in this par ticular phase of the legislation, ant these men would be under the samt dominating, commanding and irressis tible influence"

 MT. Root severely condemned tho proposed guarantee of bank deposits On this subject he said:

Morgan Man Delivers Him self Concerning Present
 Day Trust Agitation
PUBLIC WIDE AWAKE
Also Points Out Two Dangers, One From DemagOgues and Second by
 General Air of Suspicion.

New Yo,k, Dec. 13.-Henry r. Davidson, of the firm of J.P. Morgan and Company, and now most potential in that partnership, speaking at the Pennsylvania Society dinner tonight took a new view of agitation against the trusts. He said.
 "First of all the present many man of affairs must be wide awake to the fact that this rapidity increasing moyemen. of the last twenty, and especially the last five years, is not the blind expression of dissatisfac- tion and unrest that many consider it to be.
 "In business again we can see to what general in new feeling is d.. rected. Its purpose is not, as surface appears have sometime almost made us believe, to tear business down, to thwart snd ruin industry. It has been rather to force all business cor porations that are of such magnitude or import: nee as to effect directly the great body of the people, to be conducted more openly with more ssrupulous fidelity to the interet both of. tie public and of the thous- ands of small investors who really are the owrers of these corporations" >"
 Points Out Dangers.
 MT. Davidson warned his hearers of two dangers. He mentioned as one of these perils the "zeal of demagogues and politicians to travel far and away from the desires of the people themselves"
 A second danger, in the opinion or the banker, is that the air is sur charged with suspicion as to the motives and methods of all classes.
 The former president, MT. Taft, said he regarded it as a kindly com pliment, reminiscent in it's nature" that he was asked to respond to the toast "The United States" Every body nst,ned as the former presl- dent spoke of "selfish motives stlil manifesting themselves in some 1ndl- viduals," .,ut he said that these were always reactiona-y and never pro- pressive. Then he added with eyes twinkling:
 "The lie when drawn between the good and the bad will be found to be the same line that marked the dls- tinction between the progresslves' who are the only good. and the rest of the wo,ld who are the only bad; and one of the said features or tnls momentary situation is that while the generals of the progressives are still with their flashing swords ana brilliant uniforms holding suspicious councils ald shirking from the public gaze. the rank and file of the army seem to be rapidly becoming a dis solving view, result doubtless to be attributed to some evil subter7ean effort of tie reactionaries who would retard human progress"

Washington, Dec. 13.-Admiral Fletcher has announced to the State and War departments that he has for bidden any fighting near Tamplco and others in the neutral zone.
 The Cruiser Tacoma has tied her self up to the military wharf at Tam pico and 1t is from that point prac- tically within the city that Admiral Fletcher, who is on board is issuing his orders to rebels and federals.
