The White House today made official denial of the story that a serious difference arose between the president and At torney General Bonaparte on the question of bringing a suit against the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad.

The White House statement, which goes into de tails, is corroborated by personal statements of the cabinet officers. The president's statement says- "The story is a mere lnontlon. There was no difference whatever be tween the president and the attorney general over the New York, New Ha ven & Hartford suit. Y-sterday morning my attention was caied from Massachusetts to the fact that the Massachusetts slate court had already acted against the trolley lines so far as that state la concerned, and the suggestion was according v maJe that action should be brought in other erates inasmuch as the purpose of the suit had already been achieved so far as Massachusetts is concerned. "The matter was discussed In ,the cabinet meeting and It was decided tAai the action of tlm trtate luui t uZ Jlu-ssar-husetts would maka no differ ence In the course of procedure and the newspapers, which had been asked to hold up publication of the filing of the aut, were notified that an announcement of the bringing of the suit would stand.

ENGAGE IN TILT WITH BIG Gives His Ideas ot How Financial Business of the Country Should Be Run to Chicago Bankers at Dinner Would Secure Depositor In Full. Chicago, May 23. A spirited tilt between W. J. Bryan and James For gan, president of the First National bank of Chicago, was the feature at a dinner of the Bankers' cluj of Chi cago last night. Bryan, In t'.ie course of his address, said it appeared in the Walsh case in Chicago that the law as to loaning by national bank Is di rectory only, and that no penalty Is attached for the loan of more than 10 per cent of a bank's capital and surplus to one ldlvldual. Forgan In terrupted by saying: "But the law has been changed. The law now forbids the loaning of 10 per cent on capital and surplus." "And la there a penalty?" demand ed Bryan, in an aggressive voice. "There is no penalty," said Forgan, "but the law Is now enforced. Bryan leaned forward and, extend ing his arm Into his fighting position, oried: "Will anyone tell me the law was enforced In New York duri.ig the panic?" He waited. There was no answer and Bryan continued: "I will stake my reputat'on that the law was not enforced In New York during the pnc." Ane,.?.e' pause, and Bryan resumed smilingly: "I will say further, that if the law had been enforced In New York dur ing the panic, the panic would have been a great deal worse." Everybody laughed, Including Forgan, snd the atmosphere cleared again. Mr. Bryan wag the guest of honor of the club and addressed several hundred members on the subject of "Bunking Business." On the subject of emergency cur rency Mr. Bryan said that he believed that this currency should be lwued by the federal government and loaned to the banks. One reason advanced for the belief was that the state oank could be given the same assistance In times of need as the government In stitution. "1 do not know," he said, "w hy a state bank should not be tuhs aided In the matter of relieving dis tress. In my opinion the state and the national bank should be placed on the same footing when It comes to the question of securing emergency currency." He said that he believed that our present banking system, with twenty thousand Independent bank, more nearly meets the needs of the people of this country than a system like that of the Bank of England would do, but he declared that the system needed a general overhauling. "The thing for us to do," he said, "is to take the system we have, ex amine It, correct its faults and make It respond to public sentiment, for, if any one thinks he can Ignore public sentiment that person will irarn his mistake when it is too late." On the question of affording secur ity to the depositor, Mr. Bryan de clared that the temptation t gamble was the source of most of the great bank failures, and suggested the ne cessity for a law that would remove this temptation from persons who handle other people's money It Is not enough, he said, to make banks reasonably secure. "We mut pro vide a banking system," he -ald, "not only for 'reasonable' people but for 'unreasonaole' ones," and he called It a short-s ghted policy on tho part of the bankers to resist a Jut I'emand from 15,000,000 people for Bbsolute security. "If the banks of this countv refuse to give this security," he ccr.llnued, "It Is they and they alone whj will be responsible if this government is driv en to establish a governme'li bank. If the government savlrgs bank conies, the J500 deposit limit will not last through more than one session of congress. If you banker refuse to give the security the people de mand there can be no diubt of the future popularity of the government savings bank. I would ratf-er have guaranteed banks than government banks, but whi n the time come I will staml with the fifteen million deposit ors for the bank of absolute ei urity." Among other cures for the tanking Ills, Mr. Bryan suggested the adoption of the system recently Inaugurated In Oklahoma, where, he said, eveiy bank stands behind every other bark, the plan being worked out through a 1 14 per cent tax on deposits.

INJURED THOUSANDS OF FISH KILLED EVERY DAY IN HELDS Irrigation Ditches Are Not Properly Screened and Fish Are Not Protected. THE GAME WARDEN SNOULOJNIfESTIGATE Ranchers Say They Are Not to Blame but Would Like to Have Means Devised for Protecting the Fish In the River Be fore Supply Is Exhausted. Thousands of fish, ranging In s'ze from six inches to one inch long, are left to die almost dally In the pools of water beside the roads and in the alfalfa fields south of Albuquerque. The fish escape from the river Into the Irrigation ditches and are carried out into the fields when the ranchers irrigate their crops. It Is said that despite the fact that there Is a law on the statute books providing for fish screens In Irrigation ditches, the acequfas from the Rio Orande are not screened and .where they are, the screeus are not kept In repair. There is a game warden at Santa Fe, but If he has ever been In Albu querque the ranchers along the Rio Orande say they do not know of It The sight of the fish flopping about In the muddy roads and in the fields south of the city has been commented upon by everyone In that district. Mr. Louden, who owns a large ranch and dairy south of the city, recently saved hundreds of the fish by picking them up and placing them In his private reservoir. Dr. George T. Oould, who owns a ranch south of the city and also conducts th. louden academy. said that he saw hundreds of fish dy lng In the mud end stagnant water along the roadside as he came to Al buquerque yesterday. "The ranchers In our neighborhood are not to blame for the conditions existing," said Dr. Qould. "There should be screens In the ditches north of the city where the water Is taken from the river. The fish swarm Into the ditches and when the water Is spread over the fields they flop help less out Into the alfalfa and It Is Im possible to eave them. "As the water recedes Into the earth, the fish bury themselves In the mud In an effort to prolong life. I have found some very nice fish dead In that manner. Thousands of tiny fish are sacrificed every day. They are very small and readily escape no tlce. Many of them die In the ace- qulas when the water runs low. The ranchers do not like to see the fish sacrificed In that manner and try to rescue as many as possible of them by picking them up and placing them In reservoirs. The larger fish, however, are the only ones they can save, as the smaller ones cannot be found readily once they get Into the fields. The game warden should make an Investigation of the screens at the sources of the ditches, If there are any screens there." ROOSEVELT ON AN INDEPENDENT TICKET Circulars !leied hi Albuquerque. Toilay From Mysterious Source. Circulars, together with button pic tures of Theodore Roosevelt, were re, celved In Albuquerque today, each bearing the signature of F. I Bil ge r, Chicago, chairman of advisory board. The circulars are headed "Roose velt Second Term League" and Urge the nomination and election of Roose. velt to the presidency for another term. The circulars set aside his first term, to which he succeeded from the vice presidency and declare the pres I, lent has only served one term and that to elect him again would not set a third term precedent. The cir culars declare that If the Republican national convention does not nomi nate Roosevelt, he will be nomlnateJ by an Independent national conven. tlon and elect d. The circulars fur ther say that Itoose-velt has not been consulted, which Is quite likely true, as the president's determination nnt to be a candidate Is beyond question. These circulars caused considerable comment among Republlcins who re. celved them today, but no one took the matter seriously. HIXK CASH HOLDINGS IIF. SLIGHTLY DFCr.F.ASFD New York, May 23.

The project was taken up by Col. Sellers In 1906, but the plans at that time were not carried out. To 1 colonel and his associates now have a more complete project in mind and If they receive the support of the people of the city they will probably take the matter up immediately. Circular letters were sent t day to those who subscribed for nock in 1906. asking them If they would aid the present project. ' The letter Is as follows: Dear Sir: In May, 1906, you signed an agreement with me to subscribe a bonus of $25 towards the building of un electric truet car I'no from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad crossing on Central avenue to the University of New Mexico, or beyond. One-half of the above amount to be paid undersigned when the track Is laid, the balance when the line Is In operation, and upon the receipt of the last payment stock to be Issued to you of the par value of your sub scription. While the proposition would be to construct a much longer system and on more streets than the one named, would you still consider the agree ment valid? Kindly reply by return mall on this sheet and mall to D. K. B. Sellers Albuquerque, N. M. Immediately following Mr. Sellers' name Is the word "Answer," and fol lowing that a blank for an affirmative or a negative answer. This move ment on the part of Col. Sell r would Indicate that the road would be bull In the near future If not Immediately. The grading of Central avenue by the city and the county seems to have given the movement an !mtetus, as the cost of constructing a road after the University hill Is cut down will b much less than it would have been two years ago.
