pression got abroad in the stock
market today that the, kind of oper
ations which began to make them
selves felt yesterday were not ap
proved by the conservative financial
powers whoBe efforts are bent at the
present time to a mending of the sit
uation and there was a dlscontinu-
ance of small ventures on margin

fluence of this factor. There was a
disposition to bring Into the ques
lion, in a comprehensive way, the ef
feet on the earning power of corpor
ations and probable dividend pay
ments and of the set back to trade
which must follow financial entangle
ments.

clared that he emphatically endorsad
President Roosevelt's policies for the
government regulation of railroads.

form system of federal regulation ot
railroads would be advantageous to
both the roads and the people. Cer
tainly, no railroad in the country.
Which Is conducting its affairs hon
estly, need fear the inauguration of
such a plan as Is proposed by the
president, but even honest roads .are
seriously menaced by spasms of leg
islation which have been so numer
ous of late in Various states.
"The trouble is that people grow
excited over the revelations of some
railroad affairs, who ' have been
guilty of rebating or other infrac
tions of the law, and become unduly
radical, the result being that all
roads alike "become the objects of
their hostility without discrimina
tion." r
