WASHTNOTO.V. Sent. 25 It Is
unlikely that there will be any short
age of money thin fall anywhere In
the United States. This Is not to be
construed as a promise to any partic
ular Individual, but It is the lame,
impersonal view of the treasury de
partment whose hand is on the pulse
of the nation's financial and business
lire, and represents the opinion of
officials who constantly watch for
symptoms of any stringency. In their
opinion the danger mark, if there
actually has been one during several
months post, has been left astern.
They give these reasons for their pre
dictions of plentiful money:
Primarily, the banks saw what
looked like a money shortage coming
several months ago. They knew they
could expect no help from the Unit
ed States treasury such as they got
in 1908, and prepared themselves.
They piled up gold, built up reserves
and cut down risky loans and bonds
of other securities which might not
be easy-to sell quickly have been
turned into money. New loans have
been closely scrutinized.
Omens of Better Times.
By doing all that the banks have
fortified against an emergency. How
well they did It was seen last 1 week
when $10,000,000 was moved out of
New York to other banks and done
very easily. Panics foreseen, never
come, financiers say.
Money is plentiful In England and
' ntt' the ' continent "of Europe. That is
always said to be a good sign In
making a prediction for this country.
Nearly every crop in the United
States this year Is reported to bo a
bumper crop.

Charges Represented
A3 TO PROCEDURE
.CHICAGO, Sept. 2T,. Senator Mor
gan G. Rulkely, of Connectlcutt. ar
rived here today rilling the raster
of the senatorial committee in the in
vtstigatlon of . the election of Senator
Wm. Lorimer, of Illinois, with the
exception of Senator James B. Fra
iler, of Tennessee.
It Is the plan of the committee to
proced in the Inquiry tomorrow
morning With state representative
Chaa. A. White, who charges that be
was paid J1.000 to vote for Senator
Lorimer, as tho first witness.
It ts known that Representative H.
J. C. Beckmeyer. also a democratic
legislator who voted for Senator
Lorimer, has been notified to apear
to testify. It Is exepcted that the
testimony of Mr. White, whose con
cession, as published in a Chicago
newspaper, first directed public atten
tion to the charges of bribery and
corrupt practices In the election of
he Junior senator from Illinois, will
occupy the witness stand the entire
day and poslbly longer.
In its first open session me commit
tee through its chairman. Senator Ju
lius C. Burows, of Michigan, gave
attorney ' Alfred Austrain, reperesnt
Ing the Chicago Tribune, permission
to appear in the hearing and also
alowed Senator Irime.r to be repre
sented by his counsel, former Judge
Elbrldge Hancy. .
The question of what testimony will
tie considered releaent. and whether
the committee would permit the at
torneys tor and against Senator Lori
mer to open up avenues of evidence
not directly touching the question
of the election of Senator Lorimer
has been the subject of much specu
lation. No definite announcement of
the rules which will govern the ad
mission of testimony 'has been made
by the committee Which under the
powers given it is the sole Judge of
its method of procedure. .

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. One of
the first questions with which the ap
proaching session of congress will be
called upon to grapple will be to dc
termlne when the next apportionment
of members of the house of represen
tatlves under the recent census shall
be made-
While it Is not actually required by
the constitution, that instrument Im
plies that a re-appointment shall fol
low each decennial enumeration of
the people, and accordingly a re-distribution
of seats In the house mem
bership has taken place hitherto soon
after the conclusion of each census.
Up to 1890 the re-appointment
was uniformly postponed until the
first session of congress succeeding
the enumeration, but after the elev
enth census a change was made, and
the apportionment bills for the elev
enth and twelfth census were brought
In and passed In each case during
the short session of the current con
gress Immediately following the cen
sus. It will rest with the approach
ing session to determine whether It
shall follow the old or the new pre
cedent. Politics may determine the
choice.
Before the time for the meeting of
congress the result of the November
elections will have become known.
If the democrats should come Into
control of the house for the sixty-
third congress they would naturally
resist any effort to have the change
made by the present republican con
gress, while the republicans would be
as anxious to have the service per
formed while they were in control of
legislation in both houses.

Apportionment in itself can be used
for party advantage only through the
manipulation of population fractions

SARATOGA, N. V.. Sept. 25 The
battle between the old guard repub
licans and the progressives for con
trol of the party through the state
convention which convenes on Tues
day continued .unabated today; but
Interest hi shifted from the Sher-man-Uoosevelt
fight for temporary
chairmanship to the manner of plat
form that, will be adopted, with pe-
clal emphasis on the direct nomina
tions plank.
The first real skirmish Is looked
tor when the state committee meets
tomorrow nlsht. Although it has been
announced by progressive leaders
that in nil probability the committee
would not be asked to reconsider Its
vote by which Vice President Sher
man was selected over Theodore
Roosevelt for temporary chairman.
it was said tonight thnt the old guard
would take the bull by the. horns and
force the Issue on their own account.
This Indicates that the old guard re
gards Itself as 0tlll safely entrenched

Old timanl Not IXme Vet.
While the reason advanced is that
the committee owes Itself a formal
vindication for Its action In view of
the aspersions that have been cast
upon it by Colonel Roosevelt's friends
the latter say that the real purpose is
to harass and embarrass the colonel
by placing the committee on record
for a second tlmo that he is not the
choice for temporary chairman.
Although Indications tonight point
ed, to safe control of the conven-tMk-Ujr
Mi - Roosevelt forces, a re
port from Old Guard headquarters
was to the effect that only 40 votes
were needed to swing the convention
into the Sherman column.

likely to arise over tho Taft endorse

PLAYING BOTH ENDS
M!W YORK, Sept. 25. For the
first time In the history of railway
unions, members and delegates rep
resenting 308,000 of the four great
divisions of railway employes in the
Kast, voted unanimously at a meet
ing here today to take concerted ac
tion in national and state politics.
"The proper place to settle ques
tions affecting labor Is at the ballot
box," said Wjirrcn 8. Stone, of CI ne
latid, Ohio, grand chief of the itroth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers.
"This Is not a political move at all,
as is genorally understood, but a
move to get away from the old lines
of partisan politics."
In pursuance of this plan. the
meeting voted to send a series o'
eight questions to state and national
candidates, particularly to candi
dates for the legislature and house of
representatives, asking for a defini
tion of attitude on the universal
adoption of safety appliances and an
employer's liability law where such
do not already exist company pen
sions for superanuated employes:
hours of labor, and other matters of
kindVed interest. There Were J, 00
members and delegates at the meet
ing today, representing the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen, the
Rrotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, the Rrotherhood of locomo
tive Firemen and Englnemen, and
the Order of Railway Conductors.
They met by announcement to define
their attitude toward the applica.

permission to Increase rates and as
had been expected, they passed res
olutions favoring an Increase.
