IN THE WHITE SPOT

In the news columns of this issue read
ers will find copy of the business map
of the United States, issued by the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
This map, which was watched Tor
monthly by businessmen everywhere, was
discontinued several months ago because,
to put it in the language of the street,
''busineSs was so rotten that there was
no sense in trying to divide it into groups
of various degrees as the map had done
for years"
Resumption of the map is in itself an
indicated that times are better The noted
economist who prepares the map Tor the
chamber, has always been considered
conservative in his predictions and IN ms
summary of business conditions, and his
reports are considered highly authentic
Second in Importance only to the re-
sumption of the map-and this latter Is
the most important only because 1t con-
Germs the entire nation-is that fact that
Imperial Valley appears as white
spot" denoting good business conditions.
This should be encouraging to the val
ley businessman. Perhaps he has reason
to feel that business is not all that he
would like to have it, but if he knows that
others think he is not doing so badly, he
will eventually catch that belief himself.
AS stimulator of optimism the good
opinion of others is hard to beat.
As we draw near to the close of 1888,
we can look back and see gradual I'M
provement What if it has not lived up
to the high expectations we set last Jan
uary, it certainly has surpassed 1882,
which all of us hope was the low-line IN
the economic depression.
We had reason al the fag-end OF 1857,
to hope for better things in 1888. AS 1884
1888 give us something stronger than
hope-perhaps we can use assurance
that 1884 will see even greater improve
ment.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26. - Jap
anese here, as all over the world,
were tremendously excited over the
birth of their Empire Crown Prince.
When press flashes from Toxic
brought the word ''it's a boy" the
embassy here was of course prompt
ly advised of the news But trained
from birth in suppressing their
emotions. the japanese officials
held their joy in restraint for the
time being. They had, you see, to
await receipt of an official cable
verifying the news.
Some hour later the cable arrived.
Excitedly, an attache telephoned
newspaper offices.
The empress gave birth to a
boy on Dec. 3d. he said in a con-
fusion of JOY.
A moment later he realized the
mistake he had made in his ex-
element. He telephoned back TO say
that the date was Dec. %.
Birth of the Japanese Prince re-
calls favorite, and true, story
among Washington officials about
the time a child was born to roy
atty in another land. The Ameri-
can minister to that country cabled
the state department:
THE queen gave birth to a boy.

Whitney said he was not willing to

The Iowa Senator referred to testi-
mony about a $4,000, 900 bond issue on
which Whitney had testified on a previ-
GUS appearance and insisted Whitney
had participated in maintaining the
price Of this issue for a certain period
Whitney differed with this interpre-
tation.
The witness said there were 1875
members of the exchange, and that
houses with more than one member rep
resented about 800 of these member
ships.
The exchange president testified that
an audit accompanied the request for
the listing Of new issue of stock on
the exchange.
But you make no Independent audit

NO" Whitney answered.

the issue of the bonds although he at
tended the meetings in connection with
the transaction.
Was there any competitive bidding
for this isSue?" Pecora asked.
Yes" the witness replied
Sylvester said he got his information
about the competitive bidding. as he re-
called, from another port authority off,
cial, Mr.. Ferguson.
II got some information about the
loan from Ramsey" Sylvester said. but
none as to price as recall"
Takes Responsibility.
Sylvester testified he himself had
taken the responsibility for the loan.
Pecora asked why he had not had
it entered on the books as a personal
loan instead of charging it against
expenses in connection with the bond
ISSUE
Because I expected it would be re-
paid" the witness replied.
Barrett, replacing Sylvester on the
stand. was asked about the loan. He
said that Ramsey came to him while
before June 2, 1881, and said "he was
badly in need of money and had to
have about $4,000"
WHY couldn't the bank lend this
money!" Pecora asked.
1T didn't make unsecured loans"
You know it did" asserted Pecora.
We'll some small loans, but they had
Endorsements
But Ramsey had no security?"
NO, didn't ask him for any,"
Now why did you pay in cash?
Don't you know that a check of the Ma
tional City Co. would have been hon.
ordered?" Pecora asked.
Il guess 1t would have"
Search Made for Notes.
Barrett, under Pecora's questioning.
said he had received a personal note
from Ramsey for the loan, that he had
not told Sylvester or other National City
Co. officers of this, that there were no
Endorsements. and that when he looked
for the note yesterday in his desk in New
York he could not find it.
Saying he had made thorough
search" he expressed doubt that it
could be located, but added he could
not be entirely sure.
When Pecora asked him what
prompted him to make the search, Bar
rett said he had learned Sylvester had
been subpoenaed and that the loan mat
ter probably would be brought up.
Pecora then brought out that Barrett
had never received any of the principal
or any interest on the loan and that
he had not pressed Ramsey for it.
Barrett said this was because he knew
Ramseys salary had been cut several
times and thft he could not pay and
because he did not want to embarrass
Ramsey.
The loan was not paid to Ramsey
by check. Barrett said, because the
former needed to pay out the money
on the same day he received it.

Road to Recovery.
By the Associated Press.

MIAMI, Fla, March Barring un-
foreseen developments, Mayor Anton
Cermak of Chicago will recover from
Giuseppe Zangara's bullet wound end
the complications that followed 1t, his
attending physicians announced today.
Mayor Cermak definitely is on the
upgrade now" DR.. Frederick Tice said.
His lungs and heart sound good.
Barring unforeseen circumstances,
we now can say he will recover"
DR.. Karl A. Meyer and other physi-
clans concurred in the statement.
Full chest examination. today showed
a leSsening Of the pneumonia consoli-
dation in the lower lobe of Cermak's
right lung. The pneumonia first was
reported Sunday. 1t doubled in size by
Monday night. but remained stationary
Tuesday and then diminished. the doc
tors said.
Other Conditions Improve.
The coljtis that caused some concern
last week about Mayor Cermak's chances
to recover has lessened considerably.
sufficient foods to sustain him. The
kidney action also has improved.
DR.. Meyer said the physicians con-
sidered further glucose injections un-
necessary, but added that If further
pumping of food into Cermak's veins
is decided advisable, the injections will
be made in the legs.
More than dozen times the veins in
Cermak's arms have been pierced by
the injection needles, and Meyer said
the doctors decided they would place
no further strain upon them.
There was no slip-back during the
night in Cermak's strong heart action,
or in the improvement previously noted
in the kidneys, DR.. Meyer said.
Cermak was to be told today about
the results Of yesterdays municipal
elections in Chicago.
He probably will be cheered to learn
that the Democratic organization sue
ceeded," DR.. Meyer said.
1t was the first time in 80 years
Cermak had been absent from Chicago
on municipal election day, close friends
here said.
During the morning, Mayor Cermak
asked for a bath. He got it.
He was given fruit juices and broth
for nouriShment
The broth he had yesterday was pre-
pared by his sister, Mrs. Mary Kalla,
who Winters here.
DR.. Meyer said he would leave for
Chicago tomorrow night If there were
no unfavorable developments in Mayor
Cermak's condition.
He left Chicago on the night Cermak
was shot two weeks ago.
Specialist TO Remain.
DR.. Tice. also of Chicago, who hur-
ried here by train when there was evi-
dence that Mayor Cermak's heart was
weakening. said his plans for returning
were Indefinite. He is heart specialist.
A special plane bringing an oxygen
room from New York for possible use
by Mayor Cermak landed at Municipal
Airport at 1890 pm.
Doctors said the room would be set
up on the spacious sun porch outside
the room nov occupied by the Chicago
executive. but that it probably would
not be used.
Today IS the fourteenth day since he
and four other persons were shot down
by Zaugara in an attempt to assassinate
President-elect Roosevelt in Bay Front
Park here.
Mayor Cermak is getting more ir-
ritable, and that is good sign of re-
turning strength" DR.. Meyer said.
