Washington. .Tan. 7.—Several w^ell
known bankers of the country today
urged the president to see if lie could
not persuade congress to do something
on tlie monetary question at the pres
ent session. The subject was talked
over informally at a White Huose
dinner tonight o whicli the president
invited the bankers when he learned
they were in the city. Those at the
dinner were .T. F. Forgan, of Chicago,
Daniel G. W^ing. of l3oston, and C. S.
Rowe, of Cincinnati. J. Laurence
Laughlin, of the University of Chicago,
department of political economy and
Re))resentatives Weeks and Vreeland,
of the House committee on banking
and currency were the otlier guests.
The bankers believe action ouglit
to be had on the money question im
mediately but before they leave Wash
ington tliey probably will understand
tiiat it will be impossible to consider
this subject during -the short session.
Mr. Aldrich frequently has said there
is no time to discuss sucli a com])re-
hensive plan as the moneta’\v com
mission has in view and that it would
be impossible to pass a law at the
present time. It is the purpose of
the commission to submit a biil early
in the next congress.
HtllE’S A CHjii[
SPINSTERS
Woostei’, O., Jan. 7.—Girls with nfon-
ey and an inclination to marry, may
profit by the proposition of Stanley A.
Power, a young Wooster architect,
who lias advertised for a wife. Mr.
Power sent the following advertise
ment to a Chicago paper:
“For sale.—A young man 28 years
of age, height 5 feet, 6 inches, consid
ered handsome. Will sell myself mat-
trimonially to the lady v.ho will make
me the best offer. Send protograpli
will be returned if requested. Tiiis
is strictly a bona fide oiier, ^in no
way connected with a matrimonial bu
reau.”
Power maintains an office here and
is doing ft good business as an archi
tect. He stated this evening that
the offer was made in good faith.
All Ready For
Bout Tuesday
Jack Spaulding, the welterweight
champion, wired from Baltimore last
night that he would arrive in Charlotte
this evening in order to have a good
rest before his hard bout next Tuesday
of the wrestling game that Spaulding
ing has been beating some gobd men
in the Northern section. He is almost
in a class by himself in the welter
weight class, being one of the fastest
in the business. It is said by critics
o fthe wrestling game that Spaulding
forma the prettiest bridge in the
■wrestling game, this being a decided
advantage to any wrestler. Those who
have seen Hack’s numerous matches
know that it Is impossible almost tp
down hlin while in a perfect bridge.
Both men wrestle somewhat on the
same order, and two faster men could
not be matched. The liandicap will
make it all the more Interesting and
exciting, no matter who wins the au
dience .will get a nin for its money.
The sparring bout between Billy Ryan
and Earl Moser will be faster than
their last go, and that is saying a
great deal. Both men report them-'
selves in better condition and will box
six ipunds with one miuute intermis
sion oetween each round.
Archie Templeton w'ill wrestle some
good local boy between the falls of the
wrestling bout, making a co.* nuous
performance.

A GROUP OF “TRUST" HEA»S
Attorney General Wickersham and the trust heads in legal war vtfith the government.
From left to right, upper row are:
George Westinghouse, the famous Inventor and head of the Westinghouse Electrical MaMuTc'c^ji ing Co. Tht
government has completed Its case against the so-called electrical trust, composed of ths WestinghouE-
Electrlcal Manufacturing Co. and the General Elcctrlc Co.,and its subsidiaries. Papers have not as ytx beer
filed in the suit, but it Is expected that action will be taken within a short time. The first steps looking t;
the dissolution of this great organization will be directed against an alleged combination wliich contro!’ ti,:
prices of incandescent lamps. This proceeding will be fought under thee Siierrr>an Anti-Trust law and AiP c
a civil suit. As yet the government officials have not decided whether or not they shall institute criminal pro
ce*edings.
Attorney-General Wickersham, whose wonderful legal talent is responsldle for the prosecution.
J. Pierpont Morgan, director of the General Electric Co., the principal member of the Electrical Trust.
Below, on the left are:
J. Ogden Armour, head of the Armour Co. and the most prominent figure In the Beef Trust. Armour with a nun-i
her of other prominent officers of the big packing companies is under indictment on the charge of vioiatir
the Sherman Anti-Trust law and the government’s determination to land some of the big beef men benip^
the prison bars is indicated by their recent action in dismissing the civil suit against the National Packinc
Co., in order to prevent any attempt on the part of the indicted men to secure immunity from criminal pros
ecution by testifying in the civil suits'.
Washington B. Thomas, president ofthe American Sugar Refining Co., and head of the Sugar Trust. The clv
suit to disolve the Sugar Trust has already been filed in New York and the trial will soon be under way. A:
cording to a decision recently handed down by the supreme court of the United States in the cases of two i"
dieted ofTiciers of the Sugar Trust the statute of limitation? will not apply in their cases. The court upne:
the government’s contention that alleged conspiracy entered into by the officers of this trust war. a conti
uous offense. This decision opens the way for the prosecution of the big men in the sugar trust and the gc
ernment intends to bring criminal action.
Esyi OF WEEK'S
DEAll^GS ON
L L STBEET
(By THOMAS C SHOTWELL.)
Death of William Meyers.
Philadelphia, Jan. 7.—William G.
Meyers, past grand exalted ruler of
the Order of Elks, and said to be
the original “hello. Bill” of that or
ganization, died at his home here to
day after a long illness.
New York, Jan. 7.—Beading and the
Gas shares continued as features of
strength in the Wall street market
today. Trading Avas more general than
on the previous day and nearly all
shores advanced. Bonds were even
more active than stocks and the whole
Wall street atmospiiere assumed a
cheerful tone.
Failure of tlie Carnegie Trust Com
pany came as a relief in the Wall
street district where the institution
lias for the last four ye^irs been a con
stant nuisance because of its continu
ally impending failure. It has no rela
tion with Wall street or the financial
markets but because of its name the
public paid some attention to the well
founded rtimors that have for years
surrounded it. The weakness in the
stock market in the early part of the
session was purely technical and was
not caused by the announcement of
the trust company failure. Stocks were
pried up eagerly on this decline and
the market quickly resumed the up
ward movement, closing at the best
prices.
The bank statement showed a gain
of surplus reserves ana had considera
ble Influence on the late trading. Al
though this statement is never made
public until after the close the impor
tant people in the street alv^ays know
an hour in advance about what it
will be.
Stocks have been quiet but strong
throughout the week. The improvement
has been more in sentiment than in
figures. This improvement has also
been very largely the result of techni
cal conditions and it cannot be fairly
S8.id that the really important interests
are working for a higher market. The
extent of their participation is an ex
pression of wllllngaess to see prices
improve a few points. The same Inter
ests are working on the long side of
the market that caused the October
rise but the lesson they learned in
November is making them cautions so
that the present rise promises to be
of more conservative nature.
Further assurances have been re
ceived from responsible authorities at
Washington that an early decision
may be expected on railroad freight
rates. Some of the commissioners
have let It be known that they favor
granting the Increase and railroads
granting the increase and railroad men
are seriously expecting to get nearly
all of what they asked for. So confident
are they in this matter that they are
preparing some very important bond
issues to provide money for buying
steel rails and rolling stock. The steel
trust officials are awake to the situ
ation and the expected cut in prices
of steel may be postponed.
Announcement that President W. E.
Corey would retire from the trust at
the end of January establishes har
mony at the headquarters of the steel
corporation. Mr. Corey had been pub
licly advocating a reduction of prices
to get business. This Is contrary to the
official policy of the trust and the diff
erences of opinioa became so great
that Corey’s retirement seemed to be
the only method of settlement.
To prove his Inconsistency Mr
Corey is workin* heartily with the
copper producers who are restri citing
output to maintain prices of that met
al. The copper producers are claiming
that the report they v«^ill make next
Tuesday w'ill show a very material
reduction of output. This will be glad
tidings to the awakening copper pro
ducers of South America, Asia and
Africa who are grateful for the umbrel
la that is being held over their infant
industry while it is being established.
The copper producer.s association is
preparing a way for nine and ten cent
copper wliich will be a great boom to
the industrial world.
Unde Sam Is
Saving Money
Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.—Through
a system of washing cloths used for
wiping machi.iery, cutting down the
size of revenue stamps and other novel
—not to say homely—economies. Sec
retary of the Treasury McVeagh today
announced the saving of $1,644,500 to
our Uncle Sam. An additional saving
oi 81,933,000 is expected through sim
ilar devices that are being experiment
ed with.
No detail of expense apparently has
been too s-mall to escape the eye of the
treasury economists. For instance,
the investigators found a new way
of washing the rags with which the
machinery in the bureau of engraving
and printing is wiped each day. Ex
periments demonstrated that by using
a certain solution the life of each rag
was prolonged. By Vv-ashing the rags
in this solution the department has
been able to save $6,500 in the pur
chase of wiping clotiis.
Cutting the size of the internal reve
nue stamps enabled Director Ralpli, of
the bureau of engraving and printing,
to save money on the engraved plate?
and on the paper on which they are
printed, while in the treasury depart
ment itself the method of handling
these stamps was simplified, so that
on the printing and handling Secre
tary MacVeagh is able to show a sav
ing of 155,000.
Of the* reforms contemplated the
most important is that changing the
size of the currency. If Secretary
MacVeagh gets legislation to autho
rize this reduction he will be able to
save $928,000.
Experimenting with laundered
notes has now progressed to a point
where the department is about ready
to begin that work, which will enable
It to re-lssue notes now redeemed and
destroyed. This reform alone will
result in a saving of half a million dol
lars.
Condition of Treasury.
Washington, Jan. 7.—^At the begin
