I Wins Rhodes Scholarship in Field of Fifty. First Member of His Race to be Chosen from America will Fin ish Harvard Law Course in Tbree Years. Special to The Washington Post. Philadelphia, Pa.. March 12. The Rhodes scholarship of the State of Pennsylvania has this year been awarded to a colored man. He is Alain Le Roy Locke, 712 South Twelfth St., this city, a senior at Harvard University. In the provisions of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes it is stated that color or religion shall make no difference in the selection of the candidate, and Locke was chosen on his merits. There I were five who passed the examinations which were held at Lafayette College Four Magnates Confer and Decide Not to Act on the Engage i ment Made for Them by Pierpont Mor gan. New York, March 15 Messrs. Mc- Crea, Mellen, Hughitt and Newman, the railroad presidents for whose visit to the White House J. Pierpont Mor gan arranged before his departure for Europe, held a conference at the Grand Central station in this city today. The whole situation was canvassed with erreat care and it was finally decided not to go to Washington. It is understood that the reason for this conclusion was that the tour gen tlemen involved did not feel that they had any proper mandate from the rail road corporation to represent them, Thev felt that they could not assume the position of a self-constituted com mission to formulate or present the views of the hundreds of railroad com WORST SLUMP IN MANY YEARS. Due to Despondency Over Anticorporation Law. Appeals to Southerners to Stand by Transportation Companies. New Orleans, March 15. An appeal to all southerners to stand by the rail roads for the sake ot the development of the south, was made to-night by W. W. Finley, president of the Southern railway, at a business banquet tendered him here. He says: "It the railways of the south are to be brought up to the standard required by the expanding business of southern communities the people of the south must be actuated by the same spirit of cooperation they showed in the early days of railway building, when commu nities vied with each other in offering inducements for construction. The day for governmental and municipal finan cial aid for railway lines has passed, and the many millions of dollars that will be required for additional track ca pacity and terminal facilities must be obtained from private investors. "The great part of the money must be borrowed. "Identified during most of my busi ness career with the railways of the south, I know the resources of its rail ways will be taxed to the utmost to provide the additional facilities that will be required. The provision ot these facilities at the earliest possible date is of incalculably more importance to the south than any any possible rate re duction, or any proposition to penalize roads for failure to perform services which are beyond their present eapa. city. "I believe that is is to the interest Of the railways and the people that a spirit of harmony and just dealing be fostered." SnaD-Shots. Wittv. Wise and Other- wise.

Locke will be the first colored man to receive one of the American Rhodes scholarships. The new Rhodes scholar is 21 years old. He was born in this city and was educated here. He entered Harvard University in the fall of 1904. From Harvard he will be graduated next liens of shareholders that the railway managers of United States are not themselves in perfect accord, and that until some method could be adopted for securing a con census of opinion, a visit to the Presi dent would be idle. At the conclusion of the conference the various presidents left for their homes. E. II. Harriman will leave this city tomorrow for "Virginia to join his family at one of the resorts of that state. Mr. liquidation Witnessed Yesterday Has Not Been Equalled Since February, 1901. New York, Yarch 14 Liquidation was of a volume and character today such as has not been witnessed on the stock exchange since February 9, 1901, when the development oi a corner m Northern Pacific precipitated one of the severest short panics ever seen in the New York market. The extreme violence of the declines on that occasion was due to the fact that it broke in abruptly upon a period of boom and rising prices. Today's demonstration wae radically different, in that it succeeded a prolonged period of liquidation and severe declines in prices. Not only had much been accomplish ed towards the necessary liquidation before the present break , but the action of the market had begun to reflect a return of confidence early this week, and a general conviction had grown up that the worst was over. The sudden outbreak of renewed weak ness today owed most of its violence to the feeling of despondency in specu lative circles regarding the effects of public agitation against corporations and the nearly universal trend of Dow ie his Waterloo in Madison Junej after having completed the regu- Harriman in making the announcement legislative measures against them.

To be eligible for the examinations the candi dates are required to have reached, be fore going into residence, at least the end of their sophomore year at a. recognized degree granting university or college. The examinations are a severe test, the candidate's knowledge of arithme tic, algebra, geometry, Greek and Latin being learned. Five ot the candidates passed the last examination. From these five it was for the selection committee to decide who should receive the scholarship. The candidates appeared before, the com mittee and their personal qualifications were inquired into. Character and manliness are as important qualifica tions as scholarship, and a preference is given to those who are popular with their fellow-students and have taken. an active part in athletic sports. It was the decision of the committee that Locke was the best fitted to re ceive the scholarship. The committee is composed of Charles C. Harrison, L. L.

HURTING LABOR AS WELL Confidence in all Forms of Business Investments Being tin derminded. Atlanta, Ga., March 14 Before ad journing its annual convention today, the Southern Ice Exchange adopted resolutions viewing "with great alarm the action ot, national, state and muni cipal governments in present aggresive movements against all invested wealth in general, and corporations and trans portation interests in particular." The resolutions declared that legis lative shortening of hours of lrbor, the interference against the employer in behalf of the employe by legislative ac tion and the attempt to interfere with all kinds of business through the law, are undermining confidence in business investments and depreciating the qual ity and the Standard of labor and labor's product. It directed that a copy of these reso lutions be forwarded to President Roosevelt. ;:-c-- '.'J. Buy a home with rent money. See Graves J.

' speculative circles are not disposed to rely on their own information and deductions as to the extent and the significance of these developments, The ' extreme sensitiveness of senti ment on the subject is founded on sup positions of what the great authorities in the railroad and financial world think on the subject. The recent events have created the impression that these au thorities are in a condition of keen anxi ety and even of fright about the prospect they have to face in this matter. Some- of the steps taken with the intention of allaying apprehension on the subject seem to have been principally instru mental m aggravating it. This was notably true of the visit to Washington early in the week of J. P. Morgan with the avowed purpose of acting as medi ator between the President and the rail road companies in an effort to induce the President to take some step to allay public apprehension regarding tje Los Angeles, Cal., March 13.

Twenty-four officers and the engineers are also reported safe, and there are 44 members of the crew lying in hospitals seriously injured.
