Bankers Believe Management
Will Explain Satisfactorily.

The charge against the Chicago. Mil
waukee & ST Paul OF jugglery in the
roads accounts. which appeared in the
inancia, district yesterday shortly before
the close OF the market. caused an i'm
mediate decline Of ~. points in the stock,
which closed at ss9s. The company's con-
vertible 4i2 per cent bonds dropped 10
lOOa. AS compared with the last sale on
Thursday Of 1921.
Directors referred all inquiries to Presi-
dent Earling, who, they said, would issue
statement in Chicago. Samuel McRob-
crts, director. and vice-president Of the
National City Bank. said the final jude-
ment would have to rest on what the facts
were found to be.
Bankers were inclined to believe that
the It. Paul management would make n
satisfactory explanation of the charges
contained in Mr.. Carmaldt's report TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission. sur
prise was expressed by one director that
the matter had been made public. He
said he understood that the commission
had made an investigat ton Of the same
charges nearly year ago and that
satisfactory explanation had been made.

THE people of Oregon" said Mr.. West,
ARE looking forward to the opening "
the canal with much enthusla SIN. as they
believe ii will open TO them markets IN
which they have hitherto been unable 10
compete. If. however, the tolls bill is
repealed much OF the good that would
come from the opening of the canal would
be nullifed. as the railroads would SIM
ply add the canal tolls to the freight
rates and thus limit the market for the
products of the coast states to a smaller
area than desired"
Governor West said that Oregon Has
thinking about wiping out the Senate
from the legislative branch of the state
government
Most of the corruption in legisati ~
affairs is ound in the Senate" he said

The Evening Standard" too. wants
England TO be represented at the big

President Wilson's message leaves little
doubt OF the happy issue OF the contro-
versy, which involves the political and
economic honor of the United States If
the free tolls clauses are repealed the
government can hardly longer remain
deaf TO the appeal contained in the me-

The Westminster Gazette says that
the United States is doing all in the Ben

deplores the fact that some persons ask
England TO test the Monroe Doctrine by
forcing the United states 10 intervene.

When we are dealing with "A man OF

Senators Showing Opposition.

That obstacles will be put in the way Of
the passage Of the repeal bill was made
clear to-day by the action of Senators
Jones aifd PoindeXter. who introduced
resolutions calling on the President for
information concerning the question.
Senator Jones's resolution calls on the
President TO advise the Senate what ma
tons have protested against the exemp-
ton of tolls to American vessels. Sena-
tor PoindeXter seeks more light on the
other matters of greater delicacy and
nearer consequence referred to by the
President in his message. Both resolu-
tons went over under the rules until to-
morrow. when they will be called up for
discussion.
The resolutions indicate that their au-
thors will join with Senator O'Gorman
and other recalcitrants who refuse to
support the President Senator Poindex-
ter asks the President specifically TO in
form the Senate what connection such
matters referred 10 by the President in

BRYAN WANTS LIND
IN MOORE'S PLACE
But the President Refuses to COM
nit Himself to the SeCre-
tary's Choice.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. March Sex Governor
John Lind. who carried Minnesota on a
"l6 TO 1" platform and whose reports as
special envoy to Mexico have been most
gratifying to the administration. is being
earnestly urged as the successor 10 John
Bassett Moore as counsellor for the State
Department by the Secretary OF State.
In the opinion OF Secretary Bryan Mr..
Lind possesses every qualification for the
office, both in character and attachments.
The President refuses thus far 10 COM
nit himself regarding this recommends
ton. He wishes to secure for the place
man Of exceptional attainments. but
he realizes that ii will not be for the
best interest Of the administration to
choose man who could not work in
harmony with the Secretary of State.
President Wilson has confided to
friends that he is confronted with the
gravest difficulties in finding man OF
proper attachments who is attracted by
the compensation and who is willing to
accept an office where he will be a sub
ordinate OF Secretary Bryan. Some of the
men best qualified TO perform it's onerous
duties persist i'm regarding that essential
feature as an insurmountable obstacle to
their acceptance.
The President cherishes a desire TO ef
feet an organization. or reorganization, OF
the Department OF state. The Office Of
solicitor vacated by Ex-Governor Folk is
still vacant. nor is il easy to find man
qualified to hll il and willing TO do so
under all conditions. The President has
made it known that political consdera-
tons will have no weight in his selection
OF men to nil the more important places
in the department and that he will con-
slider only the fitness OF those recon-
mended TO him.

Refused to Produce Firms
Papers for Grand jury
Paroled by Judge.
CONDUCT CALLED
CONTUMACIOUS
Move for Commitment for Con-
tempt Waits Till Monday
Depositors Protest Again.

The first arrest growing out or the
vreckine of the bank of Henry SleSel
4 co. was made yesterday, when LOUIS
: Levy. Of Stanchfield & Levy, couh-
sci for Henry Siegel and others IN
volved in the affairs of the bank, was
arrested for refusing to produce books
and papers before the grand jury
When arraigned before Judge kosai-
sky. Arthur c. Train, Assistant DIS
trict Attorney, moved for his commit
ment for contempt. The court took the
matter under Amusement and paroied
Levy until Monday in the custody OF
his counsel. Charles Collin.
Then. should the court order his COM
mitment, it is planned TO obtain his re-
lease by l.abeas corpus and hght the
matter through TO higher courts.
LEWIS refusal means that Siegel and
those associated with him mean TO
leave no stone unturned in their eff
forts 10 escape prosecution. II may
force the District Attorneys office to
RELY on the banking law 10 prosecute
Siegel and his partner, Frank r..
VogeI. q course, IT is understood ne
stands ready to take in the event or
unnecessary obstacles being thrown in
his path 10 clear up the mercantile
tangle.
Mr. Whitman has expressed a pref
erence for prosecuting under the law
governing the obtaining of money or
credits under false financial statements.
Inability 10 obtain the books may block
this but with the evidence OF the way
in which the bank was conducted, ne
has no doubt that he can obtain not
one but several score of indictments
His position is that if Siegel and Nogel
prefer TO face trial on an indictment
charging many felonies, he has no seri-
Gus objection TO his having his choice'
The question of contempt hinges
upon whether the annual financial
statements demanded by the grand jury
are the private property of Siegel and
Vogel or whether they belong to the
corporations under investigation.
Levy says he has no papers belonging
to the corporations. that if he had the
relation between attorney and client
would prevent his giving them up. and
that their production might tend TO
incriminate his clients.
After Mr.. Train had asked that Levy
he committed for contumacious con-
duct Judge Rosalsky said that il had
been held that while private papers
need not be surrendered those belong
ing TO q corporation must be, citing the
case of Christopher c. Wilson, the
wireless swindler. whose commitment
4nder similar circumstances was up
held by the United States Supreme
Court.
Depositors Of the failed bank to the
number Of two hundred met in 42d
street near Third avenue last night
and voted to protest against the ac
ceptance of any offer Of settlement
until after Henry Siegel rad been eX-
amined in bankruptcy.

Earnings Show Substantial Growth.

THE last report Of the Puget Sound
company to this commission as a separate
property covered the period July to De
cember, inclusive. of the year 1912. The
earnings for that period show a very sub
stantial growth. After making all due
allowances for undetermined misstate-
ments in the reports. the showing Of
results Of the operation OF the new line
must he regarded as very favorable. In
the case now under consideration the &C
counts OF the 81. Paul company are being
recast TO bring them into harmony with
our rules and regulations so far as that
is now possible.
The general public interest demands
that the financial reports Of carriers shall
be true records OF the facts that they pur-
port to show. Public confidence both at
home and abroad in the financial state
mcnts rendered by our carriers Is very
necessary TO the further development OF
our transportation facilities and 10 the
degree that the accounts Of any carriers
are tainted with the suspicion of untrust-
worthlncss. to that extent they will tend
To impair confidence among investors.

and training are such as naturally to lead
them to keep their accounts as they
