by governmental bodies upon mer- chants, railroads, industrial and mer- cantile corporations, revision of the tariff and currency reform have re- suited in sinking business to such an extent that it has thrown hundreds of thousands out of employment, re- duced wages and decreased values in railroad, industrial and mercantile corporations to the extent of at least S., ,000, ,000, ,000.
 The most serious situation that eonfronts the country today is the fact that unemployment is growing more acute. We ask congress to halt before it is too late. Postpone all antitrust legislation"
 A prepared telegram much to the same effect but in condensed terms was attached.
 The Simmons letter declared that the three things which stood in the way of prosperity were the Mexican situation, the awaited advance in freight rates and continued hostile legislation in congress. It said in part:
 | Especially do we recommend that mo further attempt at legislation on the matter of the control of business lor passing of antitrust laws should Joe continued at this time. What the country needs more now than any thing else is a quiet time-an abso- lute rest from the agitation of poli- tics and assaults upon business-it does not make any difference wheth- Ter it is big business or little busi- ness.
 We, therefore, strongly recon mend and earnestly hope that con- gress may be convinced that they nave done enough lawmaking for the present; that the country is abso- 6utely tired and surfeited with politi- cal agitations, and that the agitation now of the control of the business is exceedingly injurious and will serve tc retard an improvement in business which otherwise would be very great anu Idplus
 We submit these arguments or reasons to you, asking you and pray ing you to use your best influence in following the lines suggested in this communication, viz.: To have con- gress shut up shop and go home. If you agree with us, send to your con gressmen and senators a telegram something like the enclosed and urge your commercial club to pass strong resolutions along similar lines and send them to Washington. Our rep. resentatives there are worn out phy- sically and mentally, and will wei come your suggestions that further consideration arsl legislation affect ing business be postponed until De cember."
 The president declined to make any extended comment on the letters. declaring that they spoke for them selves.

Governors Arrival at Butte Has a
 Queting Effect.

QUleting Erfect.
 Butte, Mont, June 15.-Quiet pre- vailed in Butte today after the rioting by seceders of the Western Fedora ton of Miners had spent itself, but Governor Samuel V. Stewart today asked Washington as to the possi- bility of obtaining federal troops in case of further disorder.
 The violence of the revolting miners ceased last night when the coming of the governor was reported. The chief executive today said that he found no disorder and would not call for state troops under present conditions. Many of the miaers who had seeded from the local miners union because of excessive special as- sessments and the requirement that they must show union cards on going to work today returned to the mines They were not compelled to display their cards.
 Governor Stewart tonight said:
 Tn my opinion, the situation is much better and I doubt whether there will be any necessity for out side interference from any source.
 No cali has been made for fed. eral troops. There has been an in- terchange of pmunications with

News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
CR|T|C|SES PUBLIC OFFICIALS
Final Report Of Ramsey County Grand
Jury Scores Mayor, County Atto-.
ney sad Police Commission.

Mayor eller, County Attorney r..
D. O'Brie. and members of the
board of Police commissioners of St.
Paul were severely criticised by
the grand jury for lax police methods
and failure to vigorously enforce the
laws relating to the social evil and
the liquor traffic in final report SUBJ
mitted to Judge Orr. The report says
the grand jury deviated from practice
in making it's investigation and in
order to emphasize what is vital to
the welfare of this community omit
ted minor items usually incorporated
in grand jury reports.
Honest and efficient policing and
fearless and vigorous enforcement OF
law is regarded as VITAL" says the re.
port.
The report was unanimous. Judge
Orr thanked the jurors for the fear
less manner in which they had under
taken their task and discharged it.
Not only has the police depart
ment been extremely lax in the en-
forcemcnt Of laws governing the So
c!al evil and illegal traffic in intoxi-
cants," said the report, "but our in
vestigation leads us to the conclusion
that the police department gave pro-
lection to the keepers of disorderly
houses and hotels of bad reputation
and persons concerned in the illegal
sale of liquor, and shared in the
profits"
Attention is called to the report
made the common council by former
Chief Martin J. Flanagan OH Oct. o.,
1918, stating there were 165 hotels
in St. Paul and that of this number
none was considered immoral and
none sold liquor without license.
The report said this report of the
former chief was untrue and was an
attempt to: ''absolutely ignore condi-
tons which could have been ascer.
tanned by the mayor and the board of
police commissioners
I'm this connection said the re-
port, I'VE also feel that Responsible y
for this condition rests in part up>l
the county attorney. He shares tr-n
duty of enforcing the law, but we FIJI
to find any evidence of his Office tab
ing the initiative or actively pressin:,
the enforcement OF the laws designed
to remedy such conditions"

Morgan Nj & Co.Quits
Big Corporations,
FASTENED BY RUM0RS
Action Follows Reports That Ad.
miniStratjOn Would Go After
|nter|ocking Directories.

New York, Jan. 81. p. Morgan
& Co. has announced that it has sew
cred it's connections with some OF
the greatest corporations in the coun-
try with which it has long been con-
nected.
This step, the firm announced, was
taken voluntarily in response to "ail
apparent change in public sentiment
en- account of some OF the problems
and criticisms having to do with so
called interloc|zing directorates.'
Among the companies from which
the firm retired are the New YOr!:
Central and New Haven railroads.
J. p Morgan, Jr, remains director
oil the Northern Pacific, as do Charles
Steele and William Henry Porter,
members of the firm. Thomas La
mont OF the same firm also remains
Northern Pacific director.
1.-The. necessity Of attending many
hoard meetings has been SO serious
burden upon our time that we have
long wished to withdraw from the di.
rectorates of many corporations
says statement issued by J: P.
Morgan.
Task Reluctantly Accepted.
"Nost Of these directorships we
have accepted with reluctance and
only because we felt constrained to
keep in touch with properties which
we had reorganiZed or whose securi-
ties we had recommended to the pub
lie both here and abroad.
can apparent change in public SEN
timent in regard to the directorships
seems now to warrant us in seeking
to resign from some of these connec-
items.
!; Indeed it may be, in view of the
change in sentiment upon the sub
ject, that we shall he in better posi-
ton to serve such properties and
their security holders il we are NOT
directors.
eve have already resigned from
the companies mentioned. and we ex-
pect from time to time to withdraw
from other boards upon which we
feel there is no special obligation to
remain"
By withdrawn from these corpo-
rations J. P. Morgan &, Co. have cut
the strings that have held together
| many of the country's most impor-
tant corporations in a community of
interests which has been assailed
within and without congress.
Action Was Not Forced.
The house of Morgan feels that it
complex operations and that no legal
| necessity or threatened complications
with the authorities at Washington
had made it necessary to adopt the
sweeping change in policy announced.
The chief consideration, it was
said, which has prevented the firm
from taking some such action before
this time was the possible complica-
tons which might follow such action.
Investors throughout the world have
purchased securities marketed by the
house of Morgan and it was felt that
the firm had assumed responsibility
in this connection which could not be
lightly laid aside.
: The recent trend of political events,
such as the money trust investiga-
ton by the Pujo committee, ana re-
ports from Washington that the ad-
ministration is considering legisla
ton against interlocking directorates.
has created a situation which made
it possible to enter upon this change
in policy.

Vining to Be Of g
Artistic Nature

Nearly everything that could pos
sibly be going on about a theatre,
with the exception of theatrical per-
formance, is now going on at the Vim
ing. The building is not yet enclosed.
Mr. O'Brien of Medford and his crew
have just started on the clinker brick
front.
Inside the building carpenters are
working on walls and ceilings. They
are being followed by fathers and
these are being followed by plaster
ers. Close on the heels of the plas-
terers come a crew of siZers putting
on the preliminary coat of paint Fol-
lowing these are the expert decorat-
ors from Seattle.
Already the decorators have placed
much of the stucco work which
adorns the theatre and are giving a
foretaste of the magnificence of the
interior-to those who are daring
enough to steal into the building-in
the artistic work that they have al
ready accomplished
Mr.. Weisenborn has nearly COM
pleted a magnificent conception of
Music and Art on the proscenium
and Mr.. Leach is working on the
scenery-having already completed
the olio drop. Both are splendid
pieces of work and the statement that
the rest of the decorations are to be
carried out on the same scale gives
assurance that the Vining Theatre
will be unequaled in artistic merit
by anything between Portland and
San Francisco.
What it lacks in hugeness, as COM
pared to the Page Theatre at Med
ford, it more than makes up in ar
tistic effect and compactness of de-
sign. Every seat in the house will
be a good seattle theatre being
wholly free from the posts which OBJ
struct the view in so many theatres
and give them also the appearance of
livery barns. Everything in the way
of interior finishings is to be of the
first grade-from velvet curtain and
carpets to opera chairs upholstered
in leather.
