The fact that Speyer & Co. issued a statement, stating that they were not "consulted" in the appointment of the receivers,- both of whom are officials of the road, has brought about what is characterized in Wall street as open warfare between the firm and B. F. Yoakum, president of the road, and it is predicted that -the coming legal contest will amount virtually to a fight to control the 'Frisco. - , Mr. Yoakum Is quoted as saying that "the securities of the company are all safe. The stock will be worth more than ever before., It will take only a little time to demonstrate this." - - The fact that the 'Frisco's bonded indebtedness far exceeds Its outstand ing stock issues is, according to Wall street opinion, the chief cause of the roads' troubles. On behalf of the Speyers it Is said that the fate of the bonds, which are a lien ahead of the stock. Is the more important question to be determined. ".

Coming to a visit to Milwaukee In 1903. when he was a truest nf the Deutcher club, Tyree told how the colonel was pressed to take a glass of beer? ' "I do not drink beer," the president said. "But this is the drink that made our city famous," It was argued, and as a concession, Tyree said, the presi dent took one swallow.

DEMOCRATS DISCUSS COMMITTEE CHANGES Senatorial Representation May Be Increased For Federal Aid to Vocational Education. 1 By Associated Press. Washington, May 31. Senator Till man today made public a letter from President Wilson, In which the presi dent declared for currency leglsla- ; tion at the present session of congress. In that portion of the letter referr ing to currency the president, wrote: "This is the time to pass - currency legislation and I think we are In a sense bound In loyalty to the country to pass it, so that any attempt t6 create artificial disturbances after the tariff shall have become law may be offset by a free system of credit which will make It possible for men, big and little, to take care of themselves iri business.". . . , Senator Tillman, in a letter to the president had enclosed one from Rep resentative Johnson of South Carolina, urging immediate currency reform. Representative Johnson took the posiv tion that "certain Influences and men" were desirous of seeing the tariff re vision followed by stagnation and hard times. - t "We ought to have a banking sys- tern that will enable the government to prevent, or at any rate, check in its incipiency a monetary panic," Rep resentative Johnson wrote.' When Senator Tillman gave out the correspondence today he accompanied it with a prepared statement in which he, began byt declaring that the repub licans were' fighting to retard tariff legislation and to retard or prevent entirely currency reform. , ,! : ;"In my Judgment it Is of vital Im portance to the future success of the democratic party that we should have currency legislation as soon as possi ble," said he. "We ought to force the fighting on the tariff and drive it through the senate under whip and spur, Just like it was drken- through the house.-, "We ought to begin promptly to In augurate changes In the currency and banking laws which will make it pos sible for men, big and little, to take care of themselves In business. We have too many multi-millionaire, and too many paupers. The division is not Just and equal and the people know it. And they have commissioned the dem ocratic party to right these wrongs." Senator Tillman's statement added that the "game" of the republicans was to retard or prevent tariff or cur rency legislation at this congress In the hope of turning the democrats out of power at the next elections and controlling the legislative situation during the remainder ' of President Wlsion's term." Representative Johnson also issued a statement urging Immediate cur rency reform, declaring that if it were now delayed, it would not be accomplished until the regular, session of congress In 1914.
