" Is Esaaarersted.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Declaring to
be false the rrporta of a bitter antl
AmerlCRii feeling In Mexico anil an organ
ized revolution against President Dia.
David E. Thompson, the American am
bassador, x has made, an exhaustive report
to the State department setting forth in
detail Information which could not bo con
veyed In his previous confidential dis
patches, lie has renewed his request, that
In compliance with the wlshe of Mexico'
president, tlili Rovernment should tuke
steps to suppress the Mexican revolution
ary junta at St. Louis which publishes in
Spanish a paper called "Regencracion."
neports are I ntrne.
lie contends that articles that have ap
peared In certain newspapers ot the United
States, discussing alleged dissatisfaction
with the administration of Fresident Dia
and asserting that an Insurrection of pos
sibly far-reaching consequences is incubat
ing, are wholly without foundation and of
Inestimable harm to Mexico. He charac
terise the trouble that already has oc
curred as nothing more thun small labor
riota. Mr. Thompson deplores the fact that
audi publications give "a most exaggerated
Importance" to the work of men who have
fled from Mexico and who continue to en
deavor to breed a spirit of unrest in that
country, and adds:
"If there should be any local disturbances
they will be handled rightly by the Mexi
can government. Such a thing ns a gen
eral uprising Is not to be seriously consid
ered." Dim Asks Favor. '
Numerous telegrams have been exchanged
between the State department and Ambas
sador Thompson In relation to the publish
ers of Regeneration In which the ambassa-
o? has suggested, that if these men could
dealt with as anarchists, Fresident Dlas
would feel a deep gratitude. The sugges
tion made by Mr. . Thompson followed In
terviews he had with President Pias in
which the latter expressed the earnest hope
that the United , States government could
take steps to prevent the further circulation
of the paper.
The ' Btate department Immediately ' re
ferred the dispatches of Mr. Thompson to
the Department of Justice wltk view to
ascertaining what measures might be taken
against the newspaper Regeneraclon or Its
publishers. In that department an Inves
tigation Is now proceeding, but no informs
'Jon can be had as to what form It 1s tak
ing. Junta to "Stand Pat."
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 7. Manuel . Sara bin.
spokesman for the Mexican junta located
at 3647 Lafayette avenue, which United
Btates Ambassador Thompson has asked
he federal authorities to suppress, stated
today that the members of the Junta will
stay where they are. continue the pub-
. vacation of Regeneraclon .and throw them-
Jelves on the justice of the United States
jnrougn a personal appeal to president
ttooaevelt.
Sarabln denied that ' the junta Is an
archistic, declaring that not one of the
members so much as knows the doctrines
of anarchy.
The following telegram was sent today to
President Roosevelt:
ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Sept. 7, 19n8.-To the

SPECULATION UNDER BAN

to Nations'. Depositories.

Pabllo D
VVj. .dade to Aid Leg It 1-
ar ?s .ness asd Rat to
C.st Speculation of
Aay Nature.
. ASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Secretary Hhaw
has made public a circular letter, dated
today, to all national bank depositories. In
which he says in (ffect that he expects
public moneys in depository banks to be
used In the communities where it is de
posited and not loaned through brokers and
other agents In New York for spculatlv
purposes.
The letter Is as follows:
1 am advised that many banks, scattered
throughout the country, are loaning their
surplus funds, through brokers and other
in New York, on call at high rates of In
terest. Monev loaned on call is well-nigh
universally lor speculative purpose. I
recognise the right of any individual to
speculate In stocks or In lanus, and the
legal right of any bank to loan money at
appropriate rates of Interest, at home or
abroad, on ample security, even witii the
knowledge that It is being used for specu
lative purposes. I am not willing, how
ever, that government money shall be en
ticed away from the locality wnere it nas
been deposited for the purpose of being
used in this way. Public deposits are made
in aid of legitimate business, as distin
guished from speculation, whatever its na
ture. Depository city banks are expected
to loan at regular rates, or not at all, and
tney must not be tempted to act as agenn
Instead of enrresnondents for other de
pository banks In making call loans at high
rates.
If you have more money than your com
munity can appropriately absorb, please
return It to the treasury,, for it can be
promptly placed where it will uo mucn
flood. This does not apply to banks with
arge reserves regularly on deposit with
city correspondents.
Surprise In New York,
NEW YORK. Sept. 7.-8ecretary Shaw'
letter on the use of public money for
speculative purposes created a great deal
of surprise In banking circles' In this city.
where It was believed that a good deal
of the money to be deposited by the govern
ment at Interior points would speedily be
diverted to this center. Special Interest
was shown In the secretary's order enjoin
ing depository banks from lending govern
ment funds at high rates. It was recog
nised by New York banker that the
Treasury department Is In a position to
maintain a close watch on the operations
of the depository banks In this connection
because of the report made by them Ave
times a year to the comptroller of the
currency.
Liberal selling of stocks on the exchange
followed Secretary Shaw's circular and sev
eral leading stock dropped 1 to 3 points
in price. Great Northern preferred scored
a loss of 4ft, Northern Pacific 3Vi. Heading
2V4 and New York Central I from the price
at which they were quoted Just before the
circular became public.
. Call money wa loaned at 4 per cent just
before the closing ot the stock market
today. .. ' ;
. The cashier of one. ef.th. JocaL banks,
commenting on th- action of Secretary
Shaw, said it would ,not affect any of the
Omaha banks, for the reason that alt the
money they loan in New York Is on
strictly commercial paper, and they are not
In the habit of letting out money to those
In New York who want to use It for spec
ulation In Wall street. f

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. t.-Tb adjust
ment of the troubles between th Vnlted
Railways and a portion of Its union em
ployes Is 'not proceeding alopg the smooth
est lines. The quetlon of the open hop
has now presented Itself and Is said to be
causing much trouble. When a number
of recent strikers returned to tho whop
to resume tlielr old places they fouftd, that
nonunlonist had been employed. Thorn
wall Mullally, asslsUnt to President. Cal
houn of the railroads, today declaredthat
the company would not discharge any em
ploye to make room for men who weif out
on strike. , ' ,
Member of some of the unions apply
ing for the positions which they formerly
held have leen told their places fvere
filled and that If they wished to work
they would have to wait for vacancies.
H. L. Worthing of the electric workei-s wa
Informed by President Calhoun that the
linemen would be expected to work side by
side with recently employed strlkebreskers.
It I unlikely that th car men will be
called on strike again, but It Is possible
that the electrical worker, the foremen
and perhaps the railway constructor may
not go back to work.
Through Thomwall Mullally, President
Calhoun Issued a statement today voicing
his opinions. He said:
1 will not discharge any man except' Tor
cause. That has been my position right
along. There should bs no question about
It. The men ought to have understood this.
When the men went on a strike the United
Railways hired others to replace them, not
because it wanted to replace them, but
because It had to in order to run Its cars.
If these men now wish to remain In the
employ of the company they may do so. ,
However, the company has no quarrel
with unionism. It has always recognised'
the unions and believes In them.

After drifting helplessly fourteen mile,,
J, 000 feet above earth, in an airship he
could not control, William Matteray, a Chi
cago aeronaut, who made an . ascension
from here last night, disappeared from
view.
When last seen Mattersy's unmanageable
aerial craft was hovering uncertainly over
Green Bay, still buoyant and drifting out
over Lake Michigan.
Matteray made the ascension against his
Judgment, knowing that the machinery had
been broken and spliced. But the crowds,
eager to see a man risk his life, declared
that the story of a broken propeller shaft
was told as1 a ruse to avoid making an
ascension. .Therefore Matteray went up
Just to "make good." i' .

."PHILADELPHIA, Sept T. Forgeries for
more than a quarter of a million ot dol
lars by Ffank K. Hippie, the stiicid presi
dent of the defunct Real Estate Ttust
company, hav been discovered by Reeetver
Earle. The latter made thla statement
late tontabt, adding that he had no Idea
where Hippie's villainy would end. Hippie,
In order to meet hla Immense overdrafts,
used th name of some of the n.vt prom
inent business men of the city on notes
which in one case amounted to $150,000.
The president had taken copies of the
signatures of a number of business men
while some of their checks or negotiable
securities passed through his hands, but
In every case he avoided the use of the
name of a Real Estate Trust company de
positor. When pinched for money to meet his
overdraft or some big Segal loan, Mr.
Earle said, a a last resort Hippie would
draw up a note with the forged signature
attached. This he would take to the
cashier or paying teller, saying he had
personally made the loan and It was dis
counted. With the amount to his credit
he would satisfy the pressing claim.
Karle Will Accept Presidency.
Receiver Earle said tonight that In order
to accomplish the reorganisation of the
Real Estate Trust company he would ac
cept the presidency If the depositor In
sisted. Mr. Earle' decision to accept the presi
dency of the Institution came after much
pressure had been brought to bear upon
him and after his announcement' made
earlier In the evening that he could not
accept It Is now believed that an early
reorganisation of the company on the plans
mentioned In these dispatches I assured.
The directors. It Is asserted, hav pledged
themselves to advance $3,000,000. creditors
will take preferred stock worth $1,600,000
and Segal's securities will be sold for
$2,600,00(1, In thla way the Institution can
be agaia; placed on a sound basis.
Twa Millions Mlsslna.
'That m one secured $2,000,000 for ne
gotiating the loans made to Adolph Segal
by President Hippie Is believed by those
now engaged - In Investigating the com
pany's affair, Segal's repeated assertion
that he did not borrow more than $2,000,000
from the -trust company haa caused the
Investigator to exert every effort to dis
cover all of the details connected" wth
these loan, and If It Is found that others

The committee appointed by th trustees

were In the custody of Hippie as treasurer
of the board of trustees,, today mado the
following announcement:
Careful examination shows that the great
bulk of the Investments of the trustees,
amounting to IIWS.OOO, Is Intact. The entire
loss through the malfeasance of the late
treasurer is not likely to exceed $30,000.
District Attorney Bell said that until to

CHALLENGE FOR NL8RASKA LEADEf
Offer to Allow Deleoyatee to Spring..
eld Convention Deride Issue of
Veracity, the Loser to Retire
from Polities.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-ltoger C. Sullivan,
member from Illinois of the democratic
committee, tonight Issued a lengthy state
ment In which he replies to the recent at
tacks mode upon htm by Mr, Bryan. Tht
following Is an abstract of Mr. 8ulllvan'i
statement:
n hla Jefferson club banquet speech at
Chicago Tuesday evening William J.
Kryan again saw fit to make me tlm excuse
for exploiting hla new ambition to convert
the democratic party of the United 8laua
Into an autocracy with hlmnelf on the dic
tators throne. 1 leg ret that he lias done
so, as I would regret an Incident or ilr
cumatance tending toward discord in the
democratic party.
ir portions of Air. jtryan a epeecn mean
inythlng, they mean that he would rather
have his own way than have the democrat
elected to congress or any other office.
He has invited all Illinois democrats Hint
agree with him in his opposition to me to
bolt their ticket. If there are any demo
crats In Illinois who are disposed to act
on thla typically Brysneeque advice, many
of them unfortunately will be found in
congrneelonal districts which are close, but
In which, with united effort, we have a
good chance to elect democratic congress
men. If these districts send republicans
to the next house of representatives the
democratic party of the nation will have
Mr. Bryan to thank. As a democrat I
regret that Mr. ltryan rule-or-ryin dis
position has led him to make such misuse
of his Influence. . But Insofar as Mr.
Bryan's hanquet speech applies to me per
sonally, to my character, to my business,
to my associates, to my democracy and to
my political nets, I welcome the Issue, and
on that Issue 1 challenge Mr. Bryan to
the proof of his truthfulness, nis nnnesiy
and his sincerity that sincerity which h
boasts Is his political asset. I yield to
no man In my adherence to democratic
principles as laid down by the great
founder, Thomas Jefferson. Judged b
that standard. 1 Invite comparison of no
democracy with Mr. Bryan's.
Bryan's Friends Attacked.
Continuing! Mr. Sullivan scores Mr. Bryat
for the "company he keeps" and attacki
particularly the character of Theodort
Nelson, Judge Owen F. Thompson, Miuarc
Fillmore Dunlap and Henry T. Ralney.
These are the men endorsed by Mr. Bryat
In hi Paris Interview. Mr. Sullivan de
scribes them as Mr. Bryan's confident!
agenta In th purification of Illinois politics s
and asks:
la Mr. Bryan an exception to the rult
that a man Is known by the company hi
keeps?
Mr. Sullivan then continue:
Mr. Bryan has said: "By Innuendo thai
I, as an official of the Ogden Gas company
of Chicago, have secured government favor
and profit by Illegal or corrupt means.'
He harps on my connection with the Ogden
Qas company as if that connection were .
disreputable. The public press will show
thst the only offense thla corporation ever
committed was to reduce the price of gas.
Among my associates in that company
were Governor John P. Altgeld and Judjto
Thomas A. Moron of Chicago. Does Mr.
Bryan dare Impugn their memories?
Mr. Bryan was not honest and he was
not sincere when he commissioned Nelnon,
Thompson, Dunlap and Ralney to "purify"
Illinois politics and claimed morality el
his motive. He was not truthful when he
stood un In Chicago Tuesday evening to
explain nis position.
The first paragraph In Mr. Bryan' pect
on me and on the Illinois situation contalni
a deliberate untruth. Practically ever
succeeding paragraph contains either a de
liberate untruth, or an equivocation of tht
kind, that we expect only from the shifty
word-juggling pettifogger. Mr. Bryan sayi
he wrote me a letter asking me "to renlgr
In the Interests of the democratic party."
That is not true. Mr. Bryan knew it wai
not true when he said It. He never wrote
me a letter. He did write a letter to Judge.
O. P. Thompson, In which he told the Judgt
to tell me that be (Bryan) wanted me to
resign from the democratic national com
mittee. Denies Asking; Endorsement.
Mr. Sullivan then declares that Mr.
Bryan'a assertion that he held his seat on
th national commute by fraud wa re
futed two years ago at St. Louis by thes
national convention Itself and that he (Sul
livan) had not asked for an endorsement
from the state convention instead ot re
signing In "tbe Interest of the party," as
Mr. Bryan said he had. He continued;
Mr. Bryan says: "I 'examined Into his
(Sullivan's) conduct of the ripringfield con
vention before I took part in the attempt
to unseat him, and at the St.. Louis con
vention I had in writing a request for bis
repudiation signed by more than half the
delegates to the convention." That state
ment Is not true. Mr. Bryan knew it was
not true when he mad it.
Mr. Bryan' statement that he had In
writing a request signed by more than half
the delegate to the Springfield convention
la a statement that has been made before.
It waa made at the Bt Louis convention
and it truth was there challenged. Mr.
Bryan ha never substantiated It Willi
evidence.
Mr. Bryan and hia associate In that
contest at St. Louis mado the statement
that some 6U0 delegate in the Springfield
convention had signed petition or letters
repudiating the action of the convention.
They never presented to the committee on
credentials of the national convention any
such number. They presented some. The
other aide at the same time presented tele
grams and affidavits certifying that nearly
all of the signatures presented by Mr.
Bryan and his associates were forgeries.
Tim discussion of that Springfield con
vention and Its action for Mr. Bryan's
side Is alwaes coupled with the innuendo
that th elements of the parly with lyhtc-h
I waa connected had perpetrated a lraud
by unseating hundreds of legally elected
delegates. That innuendo is false In in
spiration and false In the suggestion It con
veys. Falsehood Again Charged.
Mr. Sullivan then review the St. Louis
contests, agalu accusing' Mi Bryan of un
truthfulness and repeating that he did nol
seek endorsement at the hand of that con
vention and saying he did not attempt tc
link hi nume with that of Mr. Bryan.
He accuses Mr. Bryan with having advised
hi particular friends In Illinois to bolt
the democratic ticket and asks:
Is this the measure of Mr. Bryan' party
fealtjr? 1 this the way Mr. Bryan pro
poses to help elect a damoc ratio con
gress? Mr. Bryan says: "My political asset it
the confidence the people have Iu my sin.
cerlty." Mr. Bryan has twice led the
democratic party to defeat, the second a
worsn defeat t ian tlm first. if h it
proud of that evidence of the people's -confidence
In his rincerity he is welcome to
It. But Ills bciPt of sincerity merits fur
ther consideration. He Insinuates that 1
make money out f pulitliH and .ills sin
cerity therefore compels him to oipose my
participation In democratic affairs. The -
filaln inference is thst Mr. Mr) an thinks
t wrong to make money out of polutex.
This boast of ills puts the atamp of inxlu
cer.t all over him. If Mr. Brysu think
It wrong to make money out ef politics, 1
abould quit siaking nuiney. Us. brysu
