Firm That Supplied Bad Envelopes to the Government Pays a Big Sum. Washington, I. C. Oct. 25. The Hartford Manufacturing Company, of Hartford. Conn., which had the con tract up to July 1st last for manufac turing stamped . envelopes and news paper wrappers, yesterday made a cash payment to postmaster uenerai Meyer of S 100.000 as a settlement, for all damages and injuries which the Post office Department may have sustained by reason of the company's failure to furnish paper up to the contract. : Several weeks ago-Postmaster Gen eral Meyer suspended the payment of 11 moneys due from the- Postofnce department to the Hartford company, and submitted the matter to the At torney General for such frther action as .might be deemed proper. ,: Ctfemlcal analyses of samples fur nished by the company disclosed the fact that -the composition of the en velope paper had been below the re quirements of the contract, and, ac cording to the computations of the ex perts of the Postofnce Department, the company had, in the last three or four years, .benefitted thereby. The contract with V company re quired that the pape first-quality envelopes should be made of all-rag paper, whereas, for a considerable pe riod, .the contractor furnished paper consisting of 25 per cent sulphite wood fulp, which very materially lessened tS COSt. ; The specifications of the present contract do not -call for paper of as high grade as the specifications of the former contract, the formula having been, established in the advertisement of nearly a year ago. WANT PRESIDENT TO KETIllE. Taft Following Seeks Declaration that Roosevelt Is Out of Race. . New -York, Oct, 25. A Washington dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle says; .. "As a result of the visit to Washing ton yesterday of Arthur I. Vorys, of Ohio, manager of the Taft Presidential boom, the belief has srown into a con viction that within a short time after his - return, to the Capital President Roosevelt 1 will nave 11 cieariy intimat ed to. hlni that -a statement of his po sition on the third : term proposition woulr be bigMy iteaslng tohe txlends of the secretary of war. .: -"While . Mr. Vorys- himself was guarded in his reference to this phase of the 1 Presidential situation." there was , little doubt left In -..the minds of those' who talked with him that he would ? welcome r such- an announce. ment. As to the rank and file of the Taft' boomers, they privately admit that the Secretary's position is made uncertain by the doubt in tne public mind as to .'whether the . President would accept a.renomlnatlon. Federal office-holders -throughout the country, and specially, in the South, will,- not commit themselves to Taft until tney know, at this time and from thePresi dent's own Hps, that he is out of the calculations. . f The number of politicians residing In Washimrton who believe that tne President will be renominated in spite of whatever feelings he may nave on the subject is so large as to warrant attention being drawn to, the matter. Most of them take the view tnat con Kress s will furnish the medium by which Mr. Roosevelt will again head the ticket. They believe that he will outline, in his December message, a legislative programme that will make recommendations concerning trusts and railroads and other questions claimine attention that will be calcu lated to enlist popular support, but that. In the face of this support, the programme will be defeated. "Sneaker Cannon has already an nounced that there is to be hdthlng Ann at the session. If he can nave his way. except to pass whatever bills are absolutely necessary ror tne con duct of the government, and as the leaders of the party, both in the Senate and House, will be lined up with the Speaker, there is not much hone -of the President's winning out. Beaten In Congress, the politicians figure that the President will become more than ever tne iapi 01 me peopie, and that in the Republican-convention he will be named to succeed himself, in spite of any declaration he may have made, ana no man. nominawa xor the Presidency has ever rerusea it. t - .

NEED OF A BEEP WATER SEA PORT Greensboro Business Men in Favor of It GOOD TALK BY FOX Slarslial MUlikan Gives Bond for Ap- pearance on the Charge of Killing a Moonshiner Railroad Wreck . to Be Investigated . Monday. By ANDREW JOYNER. Greensboro, N. C Oct. 25. Mr. John A. Fox last night in advocacy of a deeper channel to Wilmington made a splendid presentation .of the neces slty of water transportation for Inland points at this period of the South's developments when It outstrips the power of steam transportation to fur nish facilities. He showed how making Wilmington accessible to the heaviest ocean carry ing vessel would cheapen products to consumers and enhance the value to producers, also the tremendous saving lu freight to all points In 'North Carolina by having at Wilmington a point like Norfolk, Savannah, or Char leston. After his address a resolution heartily endorsing the project was unanimously adopted. It was .also re. solved that the city of Greensboro, the county of Guilford, and the Chamber of commerce eaoh .send repreienta tives to the Deep Water Convention to be held In Wilmington November ith. This correspondent would respect fully recommend to the business' men of Raleigh, Winston and other points where Mr. Fox Is to speak that they lay aside all other engagements for that particular night and go out to hear him It Is strange how business men will talk about politicians humbugging the people, yet go to near politics taiKeo but seem to be averse, as &. rule, to lending encouragement to men like Mr. Fox, masters of their subject, who can Impart more solid informa tion and . give more valuable business suggestions in-half an hours' talk than a stump speaking, politician can in three , hours of oratory. i , . 4 . t ' uThe Creenaboro Rosoluttni. 4 f" - Following- re--. -ne-refHlttioii adopted' at tire Greensboro meeting last night: - . .. - .

Mr. MUUkan's bondsmen were CM. Vanstory, A. L. .Bain and R. G Glenn. All the Greensboro bankers say that 'there is no trouble whatever in finan cial - circles here on account of the New Tork flurry. Ore bank oresi dent this morning said that for some cause deposits in his bank every day mis weeR ha a largely; exceeded those of a similar period since "tight times" began two months ago, and that credit locally was much' easier than for some time past.

TUATIti KJGX.;17S aVlZSSLSQ FOR fS CLEARING UP Friday Another Nerve- racking Day PASSED IN SAFETY Tpe Big Banks and Trust Companies Display Remarkable Streugtli Clearing House Certificates Will Be Issued to Make Cur rency Easier. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Oct. 25. -Another nerve racking day has passed but the finan cial institutions of New York have shown extraordinary power of resist ance to the pressure put upon them. While It Is true that several minor institutions have been forced to close their doors, yet two things should be said about them first, that the amount involved was not so great as to exert any marked influence on the general situation, as these banks were located In residential quarters and did not come In touch with the larger financial institutions of the metropolis; and- second, that there is every reason tn believe that these banks and trust companies are entirely solvent and tehlr difficulties will prove to be?only temporary and due entirely to inabil ity to secure ready cash on gilt edged securities in their vaults. In the light. of the general excite ment, the savings banks thought it wise to put Into effect the rule requir ing thirty to sixty day' notice for the withdrawal of deposit-, and this will preevnt the' withdrawal of money which would otherwise be put In safety deposit boxes. The savings banks. If they continued to make payments. would be obliged to withdraw funds from the national banks, thereby caus ing an additional strain on the general banking situation. There-was not the sllghtesthlnt that any of the savings institutions was In anything- but the soundest condition as it was pointed out that the savings banks of this state . are so restricted by law - in in vesting their money that there can be no question that all of the securities in jtheir possession are of. good value and .readily, saleable in normal times. 4' f Small 'Ranks Shut' Up.
