HICAllD. Oct. 24. Delegates to the Na
tloi.al Civic Federation convention today
were discussing' the remarks made at tha
meet In of Inst night by Charles O. Dawes,
ex-comptroller of the currency.
Mr. Dnwen mnde a sharp attack upon
tha federal Department of Justice, virtually
charging the office of the attorney general
with making ' gallery rlays." H a'l ln
part:
"I cannot fay that It Is Intentional on the
part of the Department of Justice, but some
of Its actions look remarkably as If favor
itism was being dlsplnyed ln the selection
of the combinations to be Investigated and
In the manner of attack.
"It Is the Inevitable that the man who
Uoea things is ln the public eye and an at
tack upon him will alwnys win publicity.
It la remarkable that the cases handled by
the Department of Justice always are tried
In the newspapers before they get Into the
courts.'
The speaker also criticised the magazine
writers, who he said made a practice of
attacking the men who accomplished great
things In tha mercantile, and financial world.
Uh then entered upon a defense of the
financiers of New York., asserting that
vmany of the men who have borne the lash
during the last four years are doing a
work for. the good of the country, the value
of which It Is hard to estimate.
"They are trying." he said, "to uphold
the credit upon which prosperity rests.
They are seeking to save the opportunity
for the profitable continuance of men who
handle merchandise, of men in manufactur
ing enterprises and ln all other walks of
life."
In conclusion Mr. Dawes favored the.
ninendmont of the Sherman anti-trust law
so aa to avoid Implication that all com
bines are of criminal character and to more
specifically Indicate which nrc criminal.

The first address delivered in today's ses
sion was that of Herbert Knox Smith of
the, federal bureau of corporations, who
spoke upon "Administrative Regulations of
Corporations."
Mr, Smith was followed by D. A. Tomp-
Iriri ',rf C-hrlteTllle. N. C.t.who spok
" iMr about twenty minutes on "Tha Rall
; ' ways, t People.'.' Mr. Tompkins declared
' that. yfrrstate commerce had grown en
tirely beyond the control of anyone state
and should be brought within one federal
Jurisdiction. Tlw address of Mr. Tompkins
wa followed by that of William J. Schlef
feleln of New York, whose subject waa
"Reasonable Agreements Beneficial to Com
merce." Herman Ridder of New York spoke on
'Trlnting and Publishing."-
Mr. Ridder said In part:

Yet so scrupulous, were they in the sub

submitted without material .protest to ex
action and oppressions wh'ch no other
Interest would have tolerated. While all
others were consolidating and planning to
enrich themselves at the general expense,
th publishing Interests wer maintaining
a competition that reduced their subscrip

ROME Oct. 24. The earth shocks through-
out Calabria yesterday caused considerable
damage, destroying two villages, but so far
as known only ten lives were lost. To add
to the desolation It was raining ln torrents.
Th cathedral at Aowrc dl Grac waa thrown
in, as was a tower which had wlth-
tood all the earthquakes for centuries.
The confusion caused by the earthquake
was Increased by a mutiny cf the prisoners
In the Catamaro Jail, which was subdued
with difficulty. The troop sent with the
relief trains to thescene of the disaster
nd a calming effect on the population.
Only two day ago the finance minister
n.iuguratcd two entirely new villages In
Calabria, which had been built by the relief
ommittee of Milan for the victims of the
arthquake of 1906. These villages, how-
ever, withstood the shocks.
The shock waa especially severe In the
southern end of the peninsula. Half the
muses at Ferrussano and Rrancaleone ecl
ipsed and many persons were burled In the
ruins. At Blnopoll and St. Hare several
icrsons were buried and everywhere panic
prevailed.
Rocolla. Jon led. Reggio, Coaanxa, Bar-

IMPETUS GIVEN AERONAUTICS
Races o nereafnl that ' Flood
Congratulation I Received
Wy (Inn.
of
ST. LOUIS, Oft. J4.-The International
cup contest and the dirigible balloon races
ended, the aeronauts and Aero club officials
who have mado St. Louis their headquar
ter for the past ten dsys or more, are leav
ing for home today. The ballooning ground
la Forest park are being dismantled, air
ship are being deflated and prepared for
shipment and th tent In which were
stored the giant gaa bag are being leveled.
Officer of the St. Louis Aero club have
received many telegrams of congratulation
over the success of aeronautic week, and
It Is said that the' Interest aroused here In
ballooning will result In other contests In
the near future.-
There aeems. little dmibt but that a deter
mined effort will be made next year by
American aeronauts to regain possession
of the cup won this year by the Germans
The articles covering the International race
allow but three entries from each country
represented In the aeronautic federation
The race next year goes to Germany, but
this will not deter the Americans, who un
doubtedly will enter the full number of rac
Ing teams. The three Amerlcun balloons
ln this year's race, the United States, the
America and the St. Louis, may again be
chosen to try for the cup, as they repre
sent the latest ideas of balloon construction
The America, which finished fifth. Is the
only bag of American construction, the
other two having been made abroad.
Its performance was Watched with keen
nterest and was satisfactory ln every par-
Icular. Ballooning as a sport has received
a great lmpotu by the races held here, and
it Is believed there will soon be aero clubs
organised In. all the larger cities.
Brigadier General James Allen, chief of
fleer of the signal corps of .the United
State army. . who witnessed all of the
ascents made here this week, was much Im
pressed by the performnnce of some' of the
airships on yesterday, and declared before
leaving today for Omaha that he would
recommend In S'oMext report to the aerre
tary oQ warttrVSt aeveral balloons' of "th
dirigible typoi be bought or constructed for
governmental experimental work.
"There can be no doubt," he declared,
that we will have balloons or flying ma
chine ln the army ln a very slairt time,
While I cannot say that they will revolu
tionize warfare, I fell safe ln predicting
that they will become a valuable adjunct,
and-no large fighting body will be complete
without It complement of airships.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. Tho official air
line measurement of the flight of the two
leading bnlloons In the International race
"rom St. Louts, as computed at the geologl-
al survey today, follows:
St. Louis (Forest park), to Ashbury park,

J., 87.4 miles. The Pommern landed at
Ashbury park, the longest distance traveled
by the competitors and L'Isle de France at
Herbertsvllle.
All the data relating to the anchorage of
the balloon ha been telegraphed to Wash
'ngton and the preparation of a map of

I do not consider financial conditions
in the east as alarming and I think the

come back to normal," said General C. F.
Manderson, who has Just returned from
month' trip through the east. General
Manderson left New York ten days ago.
before the beginning of the present flurry
on Wall street. .
"While there were no marked Indications
of the . present trouble there a far as I
could see, I now recall that there an-,
peared to be an unusual degree of suspicion
and uncertainty among the moneyed men
who made their headquarters at the Wal
dorf-Astoria. I did not think much of It
at the time, but looking back I can see
what It meant.
"I do not think the financial flurry will
have any effect In the west. If It con
tinued for a long time It probably would
have an effect. . But the west with Its
tremendous powers of production Is rap
idly becoming th. financial center of the
country and Is not readily affected by
temporary flurries In the east. Our banks
out here have more money than they can
use locally and are Investing It In eastern
securities. ' Our prosperity Is on a solid
foundation and I am not ln the least
alarmed.
Morgan Help the Kltaatlon. .
The action of some of the moneyed men
like Morgan in rushing to the assistance
of weakened Institutions will cause the
situation to better Itself naturally. I look
for a return of confidence and a rise In
lues. The present flurry. If It had oc
curred a few year ago, under the condi
tions then, might have been very serious,
but with the conoltlons in the west as they
are I do not expect any further trouble."
General and Mrs. Manderson went from
Omaha to Canton, O., where they attended
the unveiling of the McKlnley monument.
Mis. . Manderson wa born in Canton and
General Manderson read and practiced law
with McKlnley and they were married
there, and the return visit to the city was
very enjoyable. General Manderson de
clared the McKlnley monument ' wis one
of the most beautiful works of art he had
ever seen. From Canton they went to
Salem, O., where he attended tho thirty
seventh reunion of his old regiment, the
Nlnetentli Ohio. About 1! of the member
of the regiment were present and General
Manderson had an Interesting meeting with
them. From Salem he went to Philadelphia
and New York.

l"It'N' coming the flnnncial upheaval,
said C. IS. Adams, head of the credit da
partment of the big Broadway department
store of Los Angeles and New York. , Ho
passed through the city, westward bound.
Last ' week a business man could not
borrow money In New York. There was
none ' there to borrow. The financiers
needed every cent in guarding their totter
ing interest In 'the street."
'The great slump In stocks during the
last few months was the forerunner of a
seismic change In the pecuniary status of
the country. The failure of several great
banks last week made the signs of the
times still .-asler to read and now the West
Inghouse interests are engulfed.
'But all this is a healthy movement.
Roosevelt is right. In my opinion, and In
the opinion of conservative men all over
the country. By watering of stocks and
other manipulation the body financial of
this country had become so dropsical and
was otherwise so sorely afflicted that It
needed Just such heroic measures a Dr.
Roosevelt has taken. He will pull the
patient through, but those who watch by
the bedside are going to have good reason
to think that the patient has breathed his
last beore he awakens In good health.
'I look for the crisis this winter. I be
lieve Roosevelt will be the most unpopular
man in America six months from now.
And a year from now he will be the moat
popular man, because then this crisis will
be past, the sick financial patient will have
recovered and all will be well.
"You people here in the center of the
country will feel this the least. On both
tho Atlantic and Pacific coasta there Is
money stringency that you dpn't seem to
feel here. You have the broad fields of
grain which each year pour a new stream
of golden wealth Into your treasuries. Wtiy,
you people don't begin to realize the lavish
prodigality of nature here. What we on
the coast struggle and strive for, what
we run tne greatest risks to get, your
farmers draw from your rich soil with
small labor, no danger and amid laughter
and song.
"Out on the Pacific coast we have no
money now except eastern money, Around
each city there is a fringe, aa it were, of
good country, but most of our soil requires
the expenditure of much money for lrrlga
tlon and other Improvements. At present
there is practically no money and we have
no annual gift from nature of a few hun
dred millions, as you have."

UTE INDIANS MAKING TR0U8LE
Fonr Troop of Cavalry fros
Fort
Meade Sent to Scene
Cheyenne River.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. The ITte Indians
ho, more than a year ago, wandered away
from their reservation In Utah and created
trouble In Colorado and Wyoming by
threatening to take the warpath and raid
ranches, sre reported to have agalrr broken
out on the Cheyenne river reservation In
South Dakota, where they were given tem
porary quarters. At the request of the
Interior department the War department
today ordered troops from Fort Mead-,
8. L., to the scene of the trouble. The
cause of tho outbreak 1 not known.
Colonel Downs, a special agent of the
Indian office. Is at the Cheyenne River
reservation, and a telegram was received
from him saying that the 6Utes had become
unruly. Fort Meade Is about 100 miles from
the reservation and It will be necessary for
the cavalry to make a cross-country
hike," as there Is no railroad between the
two points.
II was dissatisfaction with civilization
that caused the I'tes to leave their reser
vation In Utah and take the road the last
time.
The . secret ary of the Interior finally
agreed that the Indian would not be com
pelled to return to Utah, but that they
must settle down on some reservation. At
the Utes request the Cheyenne reservation
wa selected, and two township were
leased for a period of five years In order to
supply them with homes.
There are about 600 of the Utes that may
be Involved, Including many young
Indians, among whom the greatest dis
content ha been manifested.
At army headquarters here It was stated
that In response to the request of the
Interior department four troop of the
Second cavalry at Fort Meade, near the
Cheyenne river reservation, had been sent
to the scene. Little was known by the
officers here as to the trouble, either what
It was about or its extent. It was no:
thought to be serious, however, but as
the settlers In that vicinity were much
alarmed, as a precautionary measure It was
deemed best to send the troops. They ex
pressed confidence In the ability of the
force at Fort Meade to cope Willi the
situation.

RELIEF IS QUICKLY FELI

Payments.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24 -Aa a result of to
day's development In the financial world
there I every Indication that the crisis
In the banking and trust company situa
tion ha been safely passed. The Trust
Company of America all through the day'e
banking hour paid out money to deposi
tors as rapidly as possible and closed to
day with all demand having been met. A
very favorable feature of the situation re
specting this company wss that It ws
able to make It payments with very little
assistance, and another was that the com
pany received over Its counter ln the
morning hour In ordinary deposit mora
than 11,000,000.
The day was marked by these note
worthy eplsdea. First and earliest In the
day carr the announcement of trouble In
three minor state bank in Harlem the
Hamilton Tark, the Twelfth Ward bank
and the Empire City Savings bsnk. These
banks transacted only a neighborhood busi
ness and their suspension of payment waa
absolutely without significance a bearing
on the general situation. State Bank Ex
aminer Judson declared this afternoon that
all three were solvent end that their de- .
posltor would lose nothing.
The second episode wa a run Inaugurated
against the Lincoln Trust company. At
the close of the day the company's official
announced that they were fully abl to
meet sll obligations.
So far the most notable, even drastic
episode of the day was th emptying of
million of money into the Stock exchange
through a pool headed by J. P. Morgan
and .other financier In order to avert a
ruthless selling out of stock held by
broker, which ws threatened because of
their Inability to. obtain renewal on loan.
A remarkable condition brought about
this extreme stringency. Certain large In
terest of great financial resource had
been charging recently what waa In ef
fect If not legally usurious rate of In
terest on call loan. On Institution that
had been engaged in -this practice waa Itself
a member of the clearing house and wa
severely criticised by. other banker ,for
Its action on the ground that this addd "
an unnecessary complication and strain on
the money situation. Aa a result of the
criticism this Institution withdrew It aup
port and declined to offer money on call
on tho Stock exchange. The effect of this
was to send tthe rate for monew to 100
per cent and- when that figure wa quoted
an extremely harp decline resulted In the
stock market. Union Pacific, a 10 per cent
stock, sold down to par. At the time that
excitement wa kt Itl height the annaunce
ment waa made that a pool had bem
formed with J. P. Morgan at it hetd
to come to the rercue of the broker, for
It was necessary to provide funds at one
in order that they might carry stock they
were holding for their customer.
The effect of the relief measure waa In
stantaneous and the rate) on call money
dropped from lt)0 per cent to 10 per cent.
When the Btock exchange closed evveryono
was getting all the money he wanted. The
close was marked by a memorable scene
In which the broker gathered around th
principal trading posts and gave three
cheers for J. P. Morgan.
The amount of money which had been
contributed to stem the storm was truly
collossal In proportion. Roughly estimated
it Includes $26,000,000 which Secretary Cor-..-
telyou deposited In the New York ban
28,000,000 which the Morgan pool br ..ft.
to the floor; slO.OOO.OO) wMch John D.
Rockefeller deposited with the Union Trust
company, and finally another loO.OGO.ono
which. It. Is understood, Mr. Rockefeller
stood ready to meet In all considerable in
excess of 1100,000,000.
Over Klgkt Development.
All the over night developments In th
financial situation wer reassuring. All tho
conferences last night participated in by
Secretary Cortelyou. J. P. Morgan, Jame
Stlllman and other representative banker
and men of affair,, disclosed an agreement
In the opinion that the banking situation la
well In hand and that with th government
deposits to be made by Secretary -Cortel
you today there will not only be enough
cash on hand, but even mora than might b
needed safely In ny emergency.
Many conference were held throughout
all of last evening, beginning early and
continuing up to 1 o'clock In the morning,
at which time Secretary Cortelyou gav out
the following statement:
I have said to the gentlemen who called
upon me today that any statement to the
public regarding existing conditions here
should be made with the utmost frankness,
so depositors and others Interested In bank
might realise that entire reliance could be
placed upon It. Those, familiar with the
facts have known that the situation was
made aerlojn largely because of the cir
culation of unfounded rumors and the un
reasoning anxiety of many who thought
only for the moment. To pas safely
through such a day as this, one of
most unnecessary excitement as it has been.
la the best evidence or strength and sup
port on tii part of theme who have under
taken the difficult task of reestablishing
public confidence, wherever ther I weak
nes, and It ha exlKted In a comparatively
few Instances. Hi long and able men are
rendering aid, and In behalf of the Treaa
ury department. I may ay that I believe
It la my duty to do so, and I shall do In
the largest way whatever la necessary to
relieve the situation. If the city will con
tinue Its efforts at co-oiieratlon, and If Uih
public will do Its part, there will be a
prompt return of the confidence which their
condition warrants. As evidence of th
treasury's position I have directed deposits
in this city to the extent of St.Onu.foO.
Ran on Trust Company Continue.
The run on the Trust Company of Amer
ica was continued this morning. A early
as f o'clocJt a little knot of person! had
gathered ln front of the company' main
banking 'house In Wall street, and by S
o'clock their number had been augmented
until about 100 were In tin. At th com
pany' branch at Broadway and Ann street,
formerly th Colonial Trust company, ther
were fifty or seventy-five persons In line
at S o'clock. The shaky condition It wa
evident had been greatly minimized by th
trong backing resulting from tho consul
tation between trust company officlv
