WOULD AMEND
 ANTITRUST BILL Kenyon Would Make Rail- road Directors Liable for
 Misapplied Funds

Washington, August so-A proposal to make railroad directors criminally liable for neslisentiy suffering corporation's funds to be misapplied was urged today by Senator Kenyon as an amendment to the Clayton antitrust bill. The bill as redrafted by the judiciary committee would make directors eriminaily liable only when they wilfully misapply funds,
 Aotien on the amendment will be urged Inter-
 A movement is developing among demo- cratic senators to end the antitrust leg= isiative programme with the passage at the Clayton bill, and deferring the bill authorizing the interstate commerce com mission to regulate issuance of common carriers securities until next session, Een- ators proposing this urge that the sub ject needs more Investigation The mat ter probably soon will be the subject of democratic conference.
 Republican leaders, in an informal cen- ference with administration senators to- day, suggested that Congress could con cinqe all necessary legislation within two weeka but the democrats would not con- seI.t to any agreement.
 Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, said there could be no thought of adjournment now, as Con- gress must be ready to provide for any revenue shortage caused by the European war.

system was expected to carry great vol ume of traffic to and from the gulfport and to contribute no small amount of the commerce which could be carried through the Panama canal.
 Suddenly these plans are In embargo. Absolutely nothing can be done until the railroads are able to receive the supplies of fresh capital which were needed in order to perfect the lines, thoroughly equip them and probably to improve port fa- ciities upon the gulf. No one can tell for how many months this delay will last.
 The Needs of the Railroads
 In the spring of this year It was pub licly stated by Frank A. vanderlip that the railroads of the United States would be in imperative need in the course of one or two years of large amounts of new capital. MT. Vanderlip was confident that notwithstanding considerable unrest in the business world good part of this fresh capital would be found
 In private. and in half confidential way, one of the other large bankers of New York said that he presumed prepa- rations would be under way in the course of a year for providing American rail roads with very large amounts of fresh capital. Some of them stood in impera- tive need of this capital. Then, too. there was a considerable amount of railroad in- debtedness which would come due in the course of year and which obviously must be cared for.
 But the European war has. in the opin- ion of others that MT. Erb. placed for time, and possibly for long time, an embargo upon the attempts of the rail- roads to secure new capital This will prove to be not only an immediate. but remotely harmful. effect of the war so far as American railroads are concerned. In due course of time, and with Amer ican exports as heavy as 1t is now ex- pected they will be. when commerce over the sea is made safe. and when the now warning nations are in position to ap- proach the American markets there should be created abundant supplies of fresh capital. If American credit is now well maintained if we stand conspicuous among the nations of the world with re- speot to meeting our obligations, there seems to he no req son why Great Britain and Europe should not become very heavy purchasers of almost everything we pro- duce and make. thereby creating vast credits in favor of tho United States

GENERAL CONDITION
 IS MUCH IMPROVED
Morgan Confers With Nc AdOO on the Business
 Situation

Washington. August 2o.-Reports of decided improvement in the general condition of the country and the finan- cial situation in New York were brought to the treasury today by J. P. Morgan and William Porter. mem- Der of the Morgan firm. MT. Morgan and Mir. Porter spent nearly two hours In conference with Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and members of the federal reserve board.
 MT. Morgan declined to discuss his visit and no formal announcement was made of its purpose Secretary McAdoo, however, said MT. Morgan had assured government officials that conditions had showed steady improvement and that generally the situation was reassuring.
 There was some talk at the confer ence about the present status of in- ternational exchange on the desire of American bankers and administration officials to keep American gold here. The government will make every ef- fort to aid and keep American gold in this country.
 There is hope in American circles that 1t will be only short time until American shippers can find vessels to transport grain and other commodities to Europe. A resumption of traffic across the Atlantic they believe quickly will restore balances American bank CTS owe there and enable American bankers to satisfy their creditors abroad without gold shipments.
 Messages to the treasury department tooay from bankers in many large cities of the country told of improved conditions and return to normal.
 The cotton exchange today announced that meeting of it's members will be held at noon. August 31, to consider changes In the bylaws to conform with the new cotton futures law.

American Shippers Not As sured Drafts Will Be
 Cashed Promptly

New York August 20.--Every ship that sails out of New York for English ports these days sails light. though England is begging for food.
 The liner Celtic left today with 5000 tons of foodstuff In her hold. when she might have carried le.o0 tons. The Kroon- Ia nd left the other day with 4500 and room for 5000 more. The Adriatic, St. Paul. New York, Philadelphia and others of the Ia ships Of the International Mercantile Marine. which have departed for England since the war started. have carried light eargocs Other lines tell the same story
 The storage warehouses In and around which England Is offering fancy prices, New York are choked with supplies for
 The reason none of this food is going to England, officials of the transatlantic lines assert Is because American shippers have no assurances that their drafts will bo honered in England promptly, Tons of merchandise. these officials say, are held up until arrangements are made to enable purchasers to pay promptly in gold for American supplies,
 Although In need of foodstuffs, generall ly. for the moment England is almost oversupplfed with grain, according to es- inmates made by officials of the Inter- national Mercantile Marine, This, they say, is due to the diversion to British ports of large cargees in bottoms bound far continental ports at the outbreak of the war,
 Great Britain needs sugar more than any ether article, For the first time in years English merchants are importing direct from New York, The bulk of Eng lands sugar came, before the war, from Germany and central Europe Nearly 15O0 tons were on the Celtic sailing today and 1850 tons were aboard the Kroonland,

TREASURY PLAN OF' COTTON LEGISLATION IS N0T MADE PUBLIC

Washington, August fSpeciai) Following an unsuccessful effort to obtain from Comptroller John Skelton Williams the treasurer's plan for financing the cotton crop, Senator Ransdell of Louisiana today said he still believed Secretary McAdoo intend ed to modify the rule governing the Is. sue of emergency currency so that warehouse certificates would be re- ceived over the 30 per cent limit speci- fieu for commercial paper: The reserve board today discussed possible legisla- ton to enable southern producers to protect their crops during the European war. The opinion of the board was that lotion warehouse receipts would be ac. ceptablc as collateral for emergency currency only when attached to com mercial paper, This point however. has not been finally decisisA and hard ly will be before the conference with southern planters bankers and man ufacturers next Monday.
