Washington, February 19.
ROOSEVELT AM) LOEB.— Speculation
regarding the political course of ex-Pre«l
dent Roosevelt when he returns from
Africa continues unabated, and is not
without Interest. Just now Colonel Roose
velt's friends are disposed to believe that
be will devote his activities to promoting
the nomination and election of William
Loch. jr., as Governor of New York. Mr.
Roosevelt held his former secretary in
such high estimation that he believed
President Taft would do well to select
him for the Cabinet, and President Taft
■was not unfavorably disposed toward the
suggestion, although he finally decided
that Mr. Loeb wag rather young for a post
of such responsibility. Instead he placed
him in a position which afforded almost
equal opportunity for the display of ad
ministrative ability, and as Collector of
the Port of New York Mr. Loeb lias, in
the opinion of the President and the Sec
retary of the Treasury, "made good." Mr.
Loeb's intense loyalty to Mr. Taft in the
days which preceded the latter"s nomina
tion and election to the Presidency is
gratefully recognized by every friend of
Mr Taft. as it is by the President him
self, while his devotion to tlie former
President no one ever questioned. With
a highly creditable record of seven years
in a position which calls for the utmost
sagacity an d diplomacy — that of secretary
to the President — and with an equally
creditable executive record in the New
York Custom House, Mr. Loeb is regarded
here as decidedly available timber for the
nomination for Governor, and — being
practically inconceivable that Colonel
Roosevelt's political activities can remain
dormant once he returns to this country —
it is believed to be more than a good truess
that he •".ill devote his energies to secur
ing the nomination of his loyal friend for
Governor of New York, and, that accom
plished, will do everything in his power to
carry the srate next November.
MB TAFT'S FRANKNESS.— That Presi
dent. Taft is as incapable of superficiality
as he Is of demagogy is the unanimous
opinion of those who heard him speak on
ntd who discussed with him the subject of
the industrial education of the negro <rt
th» residence of Miss Boardman last night,
where a group of Southern men gathered
to consider this important subject. Those
who do not understand the temperament
of the present occupant of the White
House and who wish him well are contin
ually regretting that lie "misses opportu
nities" to say the politic thin?.; Those
■who have, enjoyed greater opportunities to
study the character and temperament of
William H. Taft realize that he misses
such opportunities because he never looks
for them," never for a moment considers
"the politic thing." but expresses his
views with perfect frankness and absolute
conscientiousness, almost, at times, to the
extent of thinking aloud He Is deeply In
terested In the problem of negro educa
tion, as has been shown by the time and
thought be : .as devoted to the proper ex
penditure of the .Teanes fund, of which he
is a trustee. While he never stoops to say
things regarding the n^gro and his educa
tion designed "only to tickle the ear of that
race, Mr. Taft is highly optimistic regard-
Ins; its future, — he is in most other
things. He believes that opportunities for
rudimentary and Industrial education
Wickersharn agreed with Mr. Pierce. I
said I did not think that lands of the value
of the Alaska coal fields should be passed
from the government on the opinion of any
— official than that of the Attorney Gen
eral; that otherwise there would be a big
scandal. Mr. Wickersham agreed that he
should act on the matter, and said he would
fix it up with Mr. Bellinger. He said he
would also say something for Glavls; that
th» boy had been overzealous, perhaps."
On cross-examination Mr Hoyt said the
suggestion as to leaving out Mr. Ballin
ger ■ name was entirely his own. He said
from his conversations with Glavis he had
drawn the conclusion that the Cunningham,
claims were much more extensive than he
afterward learned. The escrow agreement
was never produced in the Wilson case.
Mr. Hoyt said his recollection of the inci
dents was hazy: that the court record
would be the best evidence. When Glavis
first came to him abo it the Pierce decision,
Hoyt said, he had suggested that Horace
D. Taft. a brother of the President, was an
old friend of his. and he thought through
him the matter could be got to the Presi
dent. For one reason or another It was de
cided to go direct to the Attorney General.
Mr. Brandeis called attention to the fact
that Attorney General Wickers harr. in his
report to President Taft on the Ballinger
case made no reference whatsoever to the
fact that Attorney General Hoyt had called
on him with Mr. Glavis with the request
that he act on the law of IMB rather than
leave its interpretation to subordinates of
the Interior Department. He also read
from Mr. Ballhager's statement the follow
ing:
"'jiav;'-- ;s entirely in error in assuming
that his conversation with the Attorney
Genera! had ar.y effect upon the matter
being submitted to the Attorney General."
•■Don't you think you had better read
what follows also V suggested Senator
Suiheriand.
Mr Brandeis ther. read this statement
from Mr. Ball'nger:
"After the Cabinet meeting on May 25
I suggested to the Attorney General the
advisability of an opinion from him on the
construction of the Alaska coal land law
of May 28, IS0&, and then I learned for the
first time from the Attorney General that
Gla.vis had spoken to him about the mat
ter."
THE USE OF CHECKS
A Monograph Soon To Be Issued by the
Monetary Commission.
Washington. Feb. 19.— tremendous ex
tent to which checks, and other "credit in
struments" take the place of cash in the
ordinary business of this country, and the
financial questions and problems growing
out of this phenomenon are discussed In
Interesting and timely fashion In the latest
of the monographs of the National Mone
tary Commisison. to be issued in a day or
two. This monograph was prepared for
the commission by Dr. David Kinley. of the
University of Illinois, and appears under
the title. "The Use of Credit Instruments
in Payments in the United States."
In a summary of results and conclusions
Dr." Kinley says, in part:
••A large proportion of the business of
the country, including the retail trade, is
done by means of credit instruments. We
are justified in concluding that 50 or 60 per
cent of the retail trade of the country, is
SStttod in this way. Over 90 per cent of th«
wholesale trade is done with checks and
ether credit instruments.
The transaction of so large a volume of
our business by checks is an element of
danger in times of stringency and crisis,
in euch times the uncancelled balances of
rrfedlt transactions creates a larger demand
for money, but the habit of settling by
ch-ck has meantime kept the available
amount of money at a minimum."
Tjt Kinley suggests the following ques
tion- a cloudy related to the subject of
thVinquiry. and discusses them at some
itnetii:
if -^Tjat is the amount of money ren
dered unnecessary by the use of credit
ct- ~_ G) what is the influence of the

cial ability should have an opportunity for

culcated the largest sense of that respon
sibility or others of the same race which
he believes rests on those of superior at

ANTI-INJUNCTION BILL.— The anti-m-
Junction bill introduced in the House yes
terday by Representative Moon is a strict
ly administration measure, and the leaders
expect It to pass both houses of Congress
and become a statute before adjournment.
President Taft stands for the measure, be
cause it was pledged by the party platform
and because he believes it is just, especially
to labor. The hardest fight he made in the
national convention in Chicago was to Be
cure the incorporation of this plank in the
platform, and, being a statesman of re
markable singleness of purpose, he Is equal
ly determined to see the pledge fulfilled.'
The leaders of Congress like the proposi
tion no more now than they did when they
wpre leaders of the convention, but they
have pledged themseJvet> to promote Presi
dent Taft's success and are prepared to
carry out that pledge. Unfortunately, labor
does not like the President's bill. The labor
leaders want, primarily, the injunction as
applicable to labor unions absolutely abol
ished. If that cannot be had. they at least
do not want the legitimacy of its use con
firmed by this legislation. But the Presi
dent wants it. He i.« convinced it is the
best thing- that could happen to labor, and
he purposes to get it- The extent to which
the laboring mon will realize his sincerity
of purpose remains to be demonstrated.
AID POSTAL SUBVENTION- — The
American Consul at Singapore reported not
long ago that since the formation of the
shipping combination known as the "New
York Conference," which controls a large
number of steamships all under foreign
flags, and "which controls through the re
bate system all freight to Atlantic Coast
ports in the United States from this part
of the world." the rates on all cargoes have
materially advanced, and the American
Consul General at Rio reported that rates
from there to the United States have been
constantly manipulated "to suit the purpose
of the trust"; that the trust pays a re
bate of 5 per cent at the end of every six
months, provided, however, that this re
bate shall be forfeited If the shippers are
found to have sent any freight by a vessel
not in the trust. These facts, among many
others, have come to the knowledge of. the
friends ojC the Gallinger postal subvention

be in the near future, to c c < thai bill

Commissioner Suggests Rem
edy for "Intolerable Condition"
[From The Tribune Bureau.]
Washington, Feb. 1?. — Representative
James R. Mann, chairman of Use Inter
state Commerce Committee of the House,
summed up his views on the railroad ques
tion to-day at a hearing of his committee
when he announced emphatically that "the
conditions attending railroad transportation
in the United States an wellnigh intolera
ble."
Chairman Knapp of the Interstate Com
merce Commission indorsed the opinion ajid
expressed his vieew as to the remedy.
H<? declared that he would give the rail
roads the authority to make rate agree
ments, under the supervision of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, anil would
also allow them to fix them in favor of
smaller ports, so that the domestic rate
couid be greater than the foreign raf'
through smaller ports, while it would be
practically the sara» through lan;sr ports,
like New York.
Representative- Stevens aske'l Mr Knapp
if the Oriental trade had not been decreased
because the railroads are required to pub
lish the domestic portion of the rate.
"The truth la,* 1 answered Mr. Knapp.
"that certain transcontinental railroads <Jo
not want the people of the Pacific Coast to
know how much lower the rate is on goods
to the Orient than on goods to the O ast."
•'And they lose the Oriental business
rather than allow this to be known 0 " asked
Mr. Stevens.
"I think BO,** Mr. Knapp replied.
He explained that the rule is not a hard
ship on the Atlantic Coast and never has
met wirh any opposition. Export business
on the Atlantic Coa^t. he said, has decreased
proportionately to that on the Pacific. Mr.
Knapp declared that be wag absolutely op
posed to the discrimination In rates and
advised the committee to make ri^id pro
hibitions against It
INDIAN BILL IN HOUSE
Contest Over Proposed Abolition of
Warehouses.
| From The Tribune Bj-
Washington, Feb. IS.— The Indian Appro
priation bill occupied the attention of the
House to-day, and little progress was made.
Representative Burke, of South Dakota,
chairman of the Committee on Indian Af
fairs, offered an amendment to abolish the
Indian warehouses In New York. Chicago,
Fan Francisco, St. Louis and Omaha. Those
institutions ar<- use-1 for the storage of
Indian supplies.
The amendment caused a protracted de
bate, in which Representatives Parsons,, of
New York: Kahn. of California, and Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, took a leading part In
opposition to the amendment. After the
debate was exhausted Representative Burke,
seeing that his amendment would probably
be defeated, moved that the committee of.
the whole rise, so that a vote could be post
poned until Monday. This motion was tost.
Mr. Burke then suggested the absence of
a quorum, and a call of the committee
was ordered. No quorum was present, and
the committee rose, under the rule. It is
confidently predicted by th- opponents of
the amendment that they will defeat it on
Monday.

OPPOSE "CORNERS"
GRAIX MEN SPEAK.
House Committee Likely to
Report Anti-Option Bill.
Washington. Feb. 19.— Disapproval of
"corners" figured in to-day's hearing 1 of the
opposition to the anti-option bills before
the House Committee on Agriculture. The
proposed legislation to abolish transactions
in futures on the exchanges and boards
of trade has rallied some of the foremost
grain interests in the country to the hear
ing, including President White and Vice-
President Merri!' of the Chicago Board of
Trade and leading officials of other West
ern boards.
The ethics of "corners" and of market
letters sent broadcast by members of ex
changes were discussed by Mr. White. He
spoke of "corners- as "wrong, detrimental
to the exchange and disturbing to busi
nes « " While the amount of business done
where there was a "corner" was very
.mall compared to the total amount of
business on the board, the "corners • he
said, attracted more attention than the
regular operations.
' Mr White said the board of which, he
was president lately considered an amend
ment to its rules designed to pf^|?£
ners" and penalizing any. one defaulting in
th* fulfilment of his obligations to deliver
The amendment was voted down on the
ground that it might impair ******
5 contracts. "I think." he added • that
sentiment is now getting around to the
point where something along that line will
soon be adopted."
"Would you regard it as an evil to se#K
to induce " outsiders to speculate on the
board?" asked Chairman Scott. Mr. Scott
read a market letter from a member of the
Chicago Board of Trade, which, according
to the chairman, was "a palpable bid for
speculative business by which the lambs
out in the country are induced to come
into the fold and be sheared."
"The market letter question," replied Mr.
White, "has never been formally discussed,
but has been talked over informally."
Vlce-President George H. Davis of the
Kansas City Board of Trade said the board
tried yean ago to do business without
future transaction?, but the effort was not
a success.
While the Committee on Agriculture has
not yet formally canvassed its views, the
indications to-night are that It will report
the Scott bill with some amendments,
aimed more particularly at cotton ex
change methods. The committee has been
impressed with objectionable features In all
the exchanges, and the fact that the pro
ducers of cotton seem to be unanimous in
their demand for legislation and that a
considerable number of cotton spinners fa
vor it. whereas in the grain exchanges the
producers have been practically indifferent
10 the subject, will probably have consider
able weight with the. committee. The hear
ings so far l.aye indicated to members of
Ihi committee that, on the whole, there are
serious conditions, if not grievous wrongs,'
11 the methods of a.ll these commercial
bodies. They seem to be more pronounced
and indefensible la the cotton exchanges
than in the other boards, according to the
views of some of the committee.
