LONDON, April 4. (New York World
Cablegram. Special Telegram.) Thd Econ
omist Is sceptical about J. P. Morgan's
optimistic statement of American financiers
generally and "undigested securities" In
particular, saying: "The deacrlption of
'essentially sound and stable' Is hardly ap
plicable. to a considerable portion of the
capital created, such as the common stocks
of the shipping combine and the steel
trust. The present state of affairs Is due
to the fsct that they represent the con
version ot floating Into fixed capital to an
extent somewhat beyond the financial re
sources ' ot the country.
"Nor does there seem much ground for
the statement tbat thla phase of the dif
ficulty will shortly . disappear, for it is
clear that the process of stock creation
has by no means come to an end."

Senator Dietrich Offers a Btiggvtion to
Grand Army Hen.
DEPARTHC.NT BOARD OF EXAMINERS
Plaa Whereby Deaervla Veteraae,
Caa lecart Proper Sapport for
Their Bills Before
Coaaireae.
Senator Dietrich, who was In Omaha dur-
lnl
g tne week, has soma susaestlnna hih
he will hsve presented at the first oppor
tunity to the Nebraska organisation of the
Grand Army of the Republic, with a view
to simplifying matters relating to pension
claims, snd more especially to private pen
sion Ifglslatlon.
"When I went down to Washington," said
the senator, "I found that I was being In
undated with letters from old soldiers with
pension claims thst they wsnted promoted.
I soon discovered that a great many ef
them were cases that had been sent to my
predecessors and to ths vsrlous representa
tives In congress, often to all ot them in
succession, and had been turned down by
the departments or found to bs without
any merit. It was Impossible for me to In
vestigate each particular case, so I hsve
made it a practice to send all such com.
municatlons back to the nearest Grand
Army post with a request for official action
by the post, promising to push the claim
to the best ot my ability In case the post
should give It Its endorsement. You would
be surprised to know what a good effect
this procedure has had. In many instances
where an old soldier La-1 secured long pe
titions certifying to his deserving charac
ter, the same men who had attached their
signatures to the petitions refused to com.
mit their ClrmnA Armw nnata Afllrf.llv tA the
request which ss individuals they had no
Hesitation in endorsing.
What Graad Army Caa Do.
Tbe Idea behind this, I think, ought to
be extended and enlarged so as to cover
all the Denaion annliratlnn. aH.1r.a- within
the atate. In my judgment tbe best way
to bring about a better condition of af
fairs would be for the Grand Army at its
next reunion to aDDolnt a nenslnn hnarA
consisting of say, three members, who
will get together regularly every month or
two and pass upon all pension cases. Tho
state s representatives at Washington
then Would refer the communlrnllnn. hear.
Ing on pensions back to this board, which
would In turn not only Investigate the de
tails, but also have the local Grand Army
post express officially its wishes In the
matter. As it Is Impossible for any sena
tor or ronrressman to sret mora than flva
of six pension, bills through congress at
any one session this pension board or com
mittee would be In position to apportion
the cases that require special legislation to
tne ainerent members and senators from
Nebraska, who could then be sure that the
bills they were urrlnr covered nnlv meri
torious cases which required the most Im
mediate attention.
"By 'systematlzlne- the rjpnalnn hti.lneea
In this fasTilon the Grand 'Armv nra-anlxa.
tlon would not only make It much easier for
US to "handle nnnalnn matter, hut inM
also accomplish much more satisfactory re
sults.. Those who ask for special pension
Dins would tnen knew that they would
have to have a case that would withstand
the searching Investigation, and if they
were turned down they would feeel better
satisfied that It was because the warn
asking for something they were not en
titled to. I hope the Grand Army men
an over tne state will give these sugges
tions careful consideration and take action
In conformity with them if thev anneal n
them as sound and practicable."

DENY F0RAKEJVS STATEMENT
Engineers Say Construction Work at
Salt Lake ia Not So Dlffl
enlt as Reported,
OGDEN, Utah, April 4. The Standard to
day publishes a statement based on Inter
views with the Southern Pacific engineers
In which It Is claimed that Senator For
aker's figures given before the court at
Nashville, Tenn., are based on much ex
aggerated accounts of the sinking of a few
feet of track on the construction work
across Great Salt Lake.
Tbe Southern Pacific engineers assert that
they have encountered no difficulties they
had not anticipated and that are not easily
overcome, and the great engineering pro
ject of apannlng Great Salt Lake will be an
accomplished fact by July 4 and the cut-off
opened to traffic by the end of the. year.
The estimated cost of the undertaking la
$t, 000, 000, and not 113.000,000. as stated by
Senator Foraketv The cut-off will, it is
stated, reduce the distance between Ogden
and San Francisco forty-six miles and elim
inate 150 miles of the most dangerous and
difficult piece of mountain road on the Cen
tral Pacific.
