NEW. YORK. Oct. 26.— 1n response to a
r«yuest as to his views of the present
situation, J. P. Morgan Eald today:
"As I have already said, I cannot too
(Strongly emphasize the importance of
people realizing that the greatest injury
that can be done in the present situation
is the thoughtless withdrawal of funds
from banks and trust companies, and
then, hoarding the cash In safe deposit
vaults or elsewhere, thus withdrawing
the supply of capital always needed in
»uch emergencies: as that which has been
confronted during the past week."
James Stillman, president of the Na
tional City bank, who next to Mr. Mor
gan has done more to bring about a solu
tion of the financial difficulties in New
York than fcny other man, said: "The
wise and heroic action of the secretary
of the treasury and the splendid efforts
of Air. Morgan, with the assistance of
the clearing house, have demonstrated
the sound financial condition of the clear
ing house of this city.
"Now, however, in order to tacllitate
the shipments of cotton, grain, tobacco
pnd other products, and to facilitate the
Sports of gold, the associated banks
have wisely decided to combine their
credit by the Issuance of clearing house
certificates, and thus prevent the paralyz
lr.g of a very large part of the business
of the country."
Calmness and growing encouragement
were the dominant features of the flnan
- cial situation when the great banking in
trltutlons closed their week today, with
Ril the great financial institutions of the
city intact, after having met their un
precedented demands of the past week.
With this signal demonstration of the re
sisting powers of the banks came the
aceptlon of new ard important measures
tc prevent a recurrence of the acute
strain.
I , No Suspensions During Day

• tensitive points were free . from trouble,

banks to keep in circulation, tor the
needs of general business, large amounts
"l currency' which otherwise would be
quired for the settlement of the dally
S\ clear house balances. . .. _.' . •
Plans were formulated to extend the
: benefit of .' clearing • house certificates to
il-o trust companies, as well as to the
, banks which are at present members of
¦.the clearing house association.
Another extremely important feature of
todays news was. the announcement by
; the Notional City bank that it has en
r gaged $5,000,000 in gold for Import. .It is
believed by the bankers and brokers that
this engagement is the beginning of what
7 w'll probably be a continuous movement
of gold to New York from abroad. The
erlHting market is very favorable for the
¦ Importation of gold,.and it Is believed
- :no difficulty will be met with In secur
" . Ing tin- metal from Europe so far as may
b- needed. ... .
' The clearing house certificates will be

ability to deposit; the proper collateral.
-.i. No limit was fixed to the amount to be
issued hut it is hoped the amount asked
' for will 1 be small. _'¦¦.'
'" May Admit Trust Companies

. vorable effect which might be produced
".by the fact that the clearing house banks
were in a, position to obtain certificates
.':; wijlle the trust companies were loft out
'of the arrangement. !>'• ¦ •. ¦ • '¦ ¦"
The fear that the trust companies would
'be .unfavorably affected by such ' a de
. rision was one of the influences which led
i several members of the clearing house
committee to oppose the Issuance of cer
tificates. - The step taken to offset this
{larger was the presentation of a resolu
tion by the. clearing house committee to
• numbers of the association. to the effect
that the trust companies should be ad
; lrittei to the clearing house. It was pro
.'-i vided that this resolution might be.con
• " slderec at a meeting of the association to

¦ Thus? far there have been no application

Noted Financier
FORGER IS
ARRESTED
CAUGHT AFTER PASSING FOUR
CHECKS
Portland Man, Said to Have Lived a
Year by Fraud, Trapped by
Mulcted but Suspicious
Storekeeper
C. R. Howes, said by the police to be
one of the shrewdest and most daring
forgers who have ever operated in Los
Angeles, was arrested by Detectives Hb
eick and Craig yesterday afternoon three
hours after his arrival In this city and
soon after he had succeeded In passing
his fourth fictitious check.
Howes Is a candy maker and for years
lived in Portland and followed that work.
About a year ago he gave up his position,
according to statements Capt. Flammer
declares he has made, Intending to make
a living by forging checks.
Ho was successful from the first, main
taining at all times a cool front, and al
lowing nothing suspicious to enter Into
any transactions.
About two months ago Howes visited
San Francisco. There he cashed several
fictitious checks, expending the proceeds
gambling. A few days ago he learned the
police of the northern city suspected him
and came to Los Angeles.
"I cashed a few fictitious checks," he
Is said to have told detectives, "and
started for Los Angeles. When I reached
here I found myself without funds and
started out to rake up some money.
"I had a number of worthless checks
In my pocket and these I filled out, mak
ing them payable to S. S. Silverson and
signing them with the name of H. C. Mc-
Clrod, Jr., of Portland.
"I went to the store owned by R. E.
Mclntosh at 447 South Spring street and
ordered a $25 suit. In payment for it I
gave the clerk a check for $40, which he
took without question and handed mo
$15 change.
"I went to Kahn & Co.'s store, 467 South
Broadway, where I purchased another
$25 suit and gave a check on the Na
tional Bank of California for $40 in pay
ment. They gave me back $15 and I took
the suit and left.
"I then cashed several small checks on
different stores, and later went to J. A.
Jepson & Co., 537 South Spring street,
where I had another check cashed, while
a few minutes later W. Hunter of Hunter
& Co., 541 South Broadway, cashed an
other for $40 for me."
Howes was arrested a short distance
from Hunter's. The young man had been
asked by Mr. Hunter for his street ad
dress and had given 625 South Grand
avenue. After ho had left the store Mr.
Hunter sent a clerk out to that number
and learned that no one of that name
or description given roomed there.
Upon the clerk's return the police were
notified and the detectives started on
the case.
They recognized Howse from the de
scription which had been 'given of him.
When accosted the young man did not
try to conceal hia identity, but seemed to
take his arrest as a matter of course.
When searched at tho station he was
found to have twenty-six blank checks
in his pockets and several signed by H.
C. McClead.

Secretary of State Says There Is
Nothing Improper In Sending
the Fleet to Pacific
Waters
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.— Secretary
Metcalf today announced that It has
been definitely settled that the Atlantic
fleet will leave Hampton Roads on De
cember 16 for its cruise to the Pacific
coast.
This announcement followed a con
ference held at the White House, to
which tha president summoned Secre
tary Metcalf, Rear Admiral Evans, who
will command the fleet on its cruise to
the Pacific, and Rear Admiral Brown
son, chief of the bureau of navigation
of the navy department.
The conference was called to con
tinue more In detail the cabinet meet-
Ing discussion of naval affairs yester
day. The discussion related particu
larly to details of the Atlantic fleet's
cruise to the Pacific. It Is understood
that matters were in such shape that
he president was thoroughly informed
on all Important items of the itinerary.
Evans in Good Health
Admiral Evans, who has been con
fined to his apartments on account of
an indisposition, looked and declared
himself to be much Improved in health.
The bureau of Insular affairs today
received a cablegram from Governor
General Smith of the Philippines ask
ing that the Atlantic fleet be permitted
to visit Manila during the week begin
ning February 10 in order to attend the
pre-Lenten festivities. The fact that
the fleet will not have arrived in Pa
cific waters by that time precludes this.
, Secretary Metcalf stated that the
queßtion of allowing newspaper corres
pondents to accompany the fleet waß
discussed and the conclusion reached
not to allow newspaper men aboard,
but officers of the fleet would be desig
nated to send such news as might be
thought desirable to make public.
Defend't President's Action
"No such relation exists between
America and Japan as would make It
improper to send the American fleet in
to the Pacific, If there were, the rela
tions between America and Great Brit
ain nnd tho relations between America
and France, which are the same, would
forbid the maintenance of the battle
ship fleet In the Atlantic ocean."
This was the reply returned by Sec
retary Root to the direct question as to
whether Japan had entered any protest
against the dispatch of Admiral Evans'
fleet to the Pacific next December.
The statement was made at the con
clusion of a long conference between
Secretary Root and Ambassador Aokl
of Japan at the state department today.

yard
The breaking of a two-foot water main
on Sunset boulevard opposite the power
station, near West Olive street, last night
resulted in the washing away of one
street car track and the delay of the
Hollywood and Colegrove service for
hours. The tremendous pressure of tho
water tore away almost the entire sur
face of the street for a quarter of a block
and dug a hole twenty-five feet wide,
fifty feet long and twenty feet deep.
All night a gang of men worked to re
pair the damage and put the tracks in
condition to handle the car service to
day.
The cause of the accident is not known,
but shortly after 7 o'clock, with a roar
and a shaking of the surrounding ground,
the water, with terrific force, gushed out.
The stream was unchecked for an hour,
when the employes of the water com
pany finally were able to shut It off. By
then the north track of the Los Angeles-
Paclflc had been destroyed, and had the
flow continued a few minutes longer the
south rails would have gone.
Hundreds of passengers were delayed
for hours. By transferring to the south
tracks at the affected point the service
was continued, though no attempt could
be made to meet the schedules.

SAVED FROM GALLOWS\
BY CHANCE QUESTION
MURDER CASE COMPLETE; BUL.
LET DOESN'T FIT
Italian All but Convicted of Slaying
Another Declared Not Guilty
• After Size of Ball Is
Discovered
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 26.— A casual remark
of a witness In Judge Chetlaln's court
yesterday saved a man of conviction on
circumstantial evidence. Indeed, the state
had presented such seemingly conclusive
proof that Angelo Serpico had killed Sal
vatore Serpico that conviction and a
death penalty were almost certainly ex
pected. This strong structure of proof
built up by the state collapsed like a
bubble whon the case was about to go
to the jury.
A casual question asked of Dr. Warren
Hunter, coroner's physician, on cross ex
amination developed that Salvatore Ser
pico was killed by a bullet from a 32
callber revolver. The defendant's re
volver was 38-caliber.
Prior to that important testimony As
sistant State's Attorney Fleming had
presented a chain of evidence apparently
complete. Against this array of evidence
the defendant was able to present only
a feeble defense. He took the stand
and denied the shooting. He admitted
having drawn a revolver, but was unable
to explain the exploded cartridges. On
cross examination by Mr. Fleming when
asked to account for Salvatore Serplco's
death he said: I
"Louis did it." He could not tell who
Louis was except that he was an Italian
who had been present In the saloon and
who had since fled.
Dr. Hunter was the last witness called.
He gave his opinion that death was due
to shock and hemorrhage caused by tne
bullet wound.
"By the way. Dr. Hunter," Attorney
Manlon for the defense asked, "have you
the bullet that you found In the body?"
"Certainly," Dr. Hunter replied, and
he handed the bullet to the lawyer.
"Why, this is a 32-callber bullet!" At
torney Hanlon exclaimed.
The bullet was then placed in the
revolver owned by the defendant and It
rattled in its empty cartridge. After a
short deliberation the Jury returned a
verdict of not guilty.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 28.-A lone high
wayman rode up to the drug store of F.
J. Qulrln at Twentieth and J streets at
10 o'clock tonight, held up the clerk, fired
two shots at him, robbed the till and
rode away, bareback, on his horse, going
south on Twentieth street to M, where
he fired a shot into the air and disap
peared. He secured $45 from the cash
register. M. Sydenstrecker, the clerk,
snapped a 22-callber revolver four times
at the robber, but the cartridges failed
to explode.
While the clerk was waiting on a cus
tomer who was accompanied by a little
girl, the robber entered the front door
of the store and pointing a big revolver
at Arthur Labare, a boy who was sit
ting on a stool, said: "I am a highway
man, hold up your hands." Labare fell
from the seat in fright, the customer
backed out of the store, followed by his
little girl, and Sydenstrecker, who was
behind the counter, dropped to his knees
and made for the rear of the store.
The robber jumped on the counter and,
leaning far over, deliberately fired a
shot a Sydenstrecker's back, but missed.
Sydenstrecker secured his small revolver
and returned to confront the robber.
He pulled the trigger of the antiquated
weapon, but the shells would not explode.
Four times, while tho robber was with
in less than ten feet of him, Syden
strecker snapped the hammer. The rob
ber threw hlB Rrm over his' face and
dodged each tiim until he finally under
stood that the weapon was useless and
then he raised his own revolver and fired
a second shot. The bullet passed through
two sides of a glass case and a partition
and Into the wall in the rear room, miss
ing Sydenstrecker, who got out the back
way, and the robber tapped the till and
escaped.
