ampton, but only those with tickets
were permitted to come aboard.
Charles Kurzman, merchant OF
New York, had two tickets. One Of
these he had bought for friend who
expected TO reach England in time TO
go home, but who could not make the
Philadelphia. Mr.. Kurzman from the
deck Of the steamer threw the extra
ticket down to the tender, shouting,
who wants a ticket to New York;
There was a great scramble, and the
lucky man came right on board and to
this city.
"The greatest care had to be used in
getting the steamer out of Southamp-
ton. A British naval officer had TO di-
rect the vessel out of the harbor be-
cause Of the mines. and we seemed to
go in circles. It took us about an hour
and half to get out of Southampton,
and an hour 20 get out of Queenstown,
where we also had TO feel our way.
what impressed me in London was
the great friendship shown by the
English people for the French. They
don't seem TO care much about the Rus-
SLAMS, and some of them regret that
they have to fight in the same cause
with Russia. But they like the French,
crowds parading with the French flag
and singing the 'Marsellaise' besides
their own God Save the King The
French flag also few from many taxi
cabs.
Omnibuses Seized.
"A large part of the omnibuses in
London have been commandeered and
will be used TO move troops from Lon
don if that is found necessary. These
vehicles can make good time on the
good roads running out of London"
A French warship that came along
side of the Philadelphia also ordered
the latter to stop and prove her iden-
tity. Signs were displayed warning
photographers that their cameras would
forts along the English coast, and Mr..
Blumenstiel from the deck could see
the British officers watching the Phil
adolphia through marine glasses.

"He had American money, but the

fused it. The party was hungry and
wanted to buy some sandwiches. This
being impossible, my Baltimore friend
waited till no one was looking, and
purloined several sandwiches, Tor

had to pay $50 American money for the

PLAN TO HAVE Liners

PraEidenee Board Of Trade Writes 10
Secretary Red6eld in Regard B
TO Matter.
WOULD BOOM FOREIGN TRADE

Secretary Redfield. of the Department
OF Commerce, has received a letter from
the board or trade, of Providence, r. L..
suggesting that his department might
perform an important act In the develop
ment OF foreign trade IL II would prepare
and carry out a plan to obtain a more
equitable distribution of calls by trans
Atlantic steamships at all the ports Of
the country. The plan necessarily. would
mean the Improvement OF many harbors
not now considered as having facilities
for the docking OF big ocean liners.
Harbor facilities along the Atlantic and
Gulf coast, states the letter. are such
that exporters are practically forced to
ship their goods &c one or other of the
big ports, such as New York, Boston.
Philadelphia or New Orleans, when they
would need only to ship to much nearer
places IL harbor improvements were made
to the latter.
The Fabre Line, which calls at Medi-
terranean ports, already makes Provi-
dence a regular port of call. the letter
says. and IL Is hoped that other big trans
Atlantic lines will do likewise. A modern
dock of sufficient size to take care of the
biggest freighters has just been COM
pleted and assurances have been received
from Washington that several Thousand
dollars appropriated for improving Provi-
dence Harbor. will be available immed-
lately, - that a thirty-foot channel
In Narransansett Bay soon will be
dredged out.

SEA WAS TOO ROUGH, HE SAYS

New York, Jan. 7-Capt- Juan Bonet
Of the Spanish steamer Manuel Calvo,
was indignant today when told that Capt
Gunter, of the Oklahoma, accused the
Calvo OF ''fooling around while he and
his officers were struggling for their lives
on the sea-swept bow of the tanker last
Sunday.
Capt. Gunter is inhuman IL he makes
such a statement" declared Capt. Bonet.
II would not trouble to answer him
were 1t not for the bravery my officers
and crew displayed last Sunday. When
We sighted what was left of the Okla
homa i called for volunteers to man the
Iifeboat, and every man on board offered
to go.
There was a terrific sea running at
the time. and as our boat neared the
Oklahoma our men lost four of their
oars and the boat was In danger Of being
swamped. She began to fill with water
and 1 then headed the Calvo toward it
With great risk we rescued our crew.
Four of the men were hurt.
I'VE stood by the wreck and sent out
wireless calls for assistance. The steering
gear of the Manuel Calvo was temper
arily deranged and one of the rudder
chains had snapped. l could not make

To HEAR HUB BANKERS
Sessions Of Organization Committee
in Gotham Ended Treasury Head
Rebukes Critics Of Law.
FOUR BANKS FOR SEABOARD

New York. Jan. THE organization
committee ended its hearings in this city
today and adjourned to Boston. where II
will hear Friday and Saturday the views
of New England bankers on the designa-
ton Of Federal reserve cities under the
Federal reserve act. Secretaries McAdoo
and Houston reminded several currency
critics tina. their remarks were purely
academic and of no avail.
Mr.. McAdoo would say nothing, further
than that the committee had reached no
conclusions.
II Is believed, however, that the most
probable solution OF the proposal for
huge New York bank, in the light of
evidence SO far sdduced. Is the placing
of three or four regional banks on or
near the Atlantic seaboard, instead of
having one large district centering in
New York and including New England
and part or all of the Middle Atlantic
States.
George F. Baker, perhaps the closest
associate of the elder ]. p. Morgan. was
represented by his son, George F. Baker.
jr.. vice president Of the First National
Bank.
THE Eastern district" said Mr.. Baker,
should be as large as 1t could be made
to comply with the requirements Of max
ing eight districts."

FORMER COMPTROLLER
LAUDS CURRENCY Law
William Barrett Ridsely Declares
System to Be Well Grounded
on Sound Principles.
PANIcS NEED NOT BE FEARED

William Barret Ridgely, Comptroller
Of the Currency in President Roosevelt's
administration. yesterday expressed the
belief that the Glass-Owen currency law
is grounded on sound principles and
drawn with adequate care for detail. He
said he believed the new law will produce
many benefits to the financial system of
the United States which were impossible
under the superseded national banking
act He predicted that there will be no
more financial disturbances like that of
1907, which he considered as essentially
a bank panic
The former Republican Comptroller laid
stress upon the Importance of the posi-
tion which the Federal reserve board will
occupy in the installation of the Federal
reserve system. This body he declared
can do for the new banking system what
John Marshall and the Supreme Court
did for the Federal constitution.
The so-called mobilization OF reserves
which is provided for under the Federal
reserve act will without doubt greatly
improve the currency system" said Mr..
Ridgely. but no amount OF reserves,
unless in normal times they are greatly In
excess Of the normal requirements, can
be sufficient to provide currency for gen
eral or very widespread liquidation. What
Is needed Is some source Of great hnan-
ciai strength, and such unquestioned
strength, that its credit notes will pass
current and provide such machinery and
organization that any bank which IL SOL
vent can obtain this currency with which
to pay its depositors on demand. This
I firmly believe the Federal reserve act
amply provides, and this main provision
should for all time prevent a recur-
renee of such panics as We had In 1907.
Mr.. Ridgely said he was convinced
that Congress had acted wisely In plac-
ing the government in control Of the
new system instead of the bankers. II
the control had been left in the hands
Of the banks, he said, 1t could only have
been done under very minute statutory
restrictions The provisions for defining
the authority of the Federal reserve
board he considers to have been wisely
drawn.
Zone cannot Doubt he said. "but that
the first board and all subsequent MEM
bers win be chosen with the same care
that is used In the appointment Of mem
bers of the Supreme Court, and that con-
firmation by the Senate will be carefully
considered"
