Speyer & Co., and French In

the Action Taken.

NEW YORK. May 3l-The members
of the international banking firm of
Speyer & Co. held conference today
with New York lawyers who will co.
operate with Frederick w. Lehman OF
st. Louis as counsel TO determine n plan
of action in fight to briug about the
dismissal Of at least one of the receivers
appointed for the st Louis d San Fran
cisco railroad and the substitution Of
a man TO represent the interests OF the
bondholders. Mr. Lehman Is expected
here early next week. and Will soon re.
turn to st. Louis, where the receivers
now in charge OF the road were ap.
pointed and that legal proceedings
would be begun early next week.
James Spcyer has Cancelled an in
tended trip to Europe and Will remain
here to look after the interests OF the
holders Of the 65,000,000 Frisco
bonds, which Speyer &c Co., hoated and
for whom, it is said. on behalf OF the
firm, it feels responsibility.
Dispatches from Paris say that
French investors in the bonds are very
indignant that the receivers should have
been appointed without consulting the
bondholders Of the road and proposed
to follow the reorganization proceed
ing.
The fact that Speyer G. Co. issued a
statement saving that they were mot
consulted - in the appointment of the
receivers, both of whom are officials of
the road, has brought about what is
characterized in Wall street as open
warfare between the firm and B. Il.

ing TO Wall street opinion, the chief
cause OF the roads troubles.
Friction between Speyer & Co. and
Yoakum began few months ago. IL is
said, when the firm declined to finance
maturing notes for 50, $50, 900 This
brought about the receivership. although
the earnings OF the road, the bankers
say, did not warrant such action.

Additional information came 10 me
from various sections OF the country
as this case had been piven wide
publicity. Both my attorneys and
myself went forward with the inves-
tlga ton of all this with great thor
oushness and In various parts OF tho
country we found witnesses who were
willing TO swear that from observa-
ton during certain OF the addresses
and public appearances OF Mr. Roose-
veh they believed he was Intoxicated
when they saw him.
We have been unable. however TO
locate or produce witnesses who will
swear that they have actually seen
Mr.. Roosevelt drink TO excoss Upon
this phase of the case, when the
statements attributed TO such per-
sons had been siftcd, II was found In
