Barney Locked In a Telephone Booth New State of Ok lahoma U. S. Wheat Shipped to Odessa Taft In Russia. Secretary Cortelyou made the an nouncement that, as a means of af fording relief to the financial situa tion, the treasury will issue $50,000, 100 of 2 per cent Panama bonds, and $100,000,000 certificates of indebted less, or so much thereof as may be necessary. The certificates will run for one year and will bear 3 per cent. Ink-rest. The secretary's action meets with President Roosevelt's hearty approval, and is the outcome of several confer ences which huve been held within the past few days at the White House. Secretary Cortelyou says that the Panama bonds will afford most substantial relief, because the law provides that they may be used as a basis for additional national baik cir culation. He says also that the proceeds from the sale of certificates can be made directly available at points where the need Is most urgent, espec ially for the movement of the crops, which, he Bays, "if properly accelerat ed will give the greatest relief and re sult in the most Immediate financial returns." The secretary calls atten tion to the attractiveness of the bonds and certificates as absolutely safe in vestments. Secretary Cortelyou adds that these measures will enable him to meet pub lic expenditures without withdrawing for that purpose any appreciable amount of the public moneys now de posited in national banks throughout the country. Two treasury circulars, one inviting proposals for the issue of bonds and the other asking for the certificates were sent out Monday. Mr. Bryan's Announcement. William J. Bryan announces that he will accept the nomination for president In 1908, but he will neither ask nor make a fight for it. He says that for a year or more he has been pressed to answer the question "Will you accept a nomination?" and he be lieves the public is entitled to an an swer and to know the position he oc cupies. He says In part: "Now that the election of 1907 is past and plans are being made for next year's campaign Mr. Bryan- feels that a statement is due to the public. Those who prefer another candidate aie entitled to know his position and those who favor his nomination have a right to demand an answer to the Question so often put 'Will you accept a nomination?' His refusal to answer the question has led to the circula tion of many false reports, and un friendly newspapers have taken ad vantage of his silence to misrepresent his attitude. 'Mr. Bryan will not ask for or seek a nomination, and he will not assume to decide the question of his avail ability. He has been so amply recom pensed by his party for what he has done and for what he has endeavored to do that he ci.nnot claim a nomina tion as a reward; neither should his ambition be considered, for he has had honors enough from nis party to satisfy ony reasonable ambition. "The only question then to weigh with the party is whether the party can be strengthened more by his nom ination than by the nomination of some one else. If he can serve the party by being its candidate, he will accept the commission and make the best fight he can. If, however, the choice falls upon another, he will not be disappointed or disgruntled. 'His availability is a question to be decided not by him, not by a few lead ers, not even by the leading newspa pers that call themselves Democratic, but by the voters of the party, and to them he entrusts the decision of the question they are the supreme court in all matters concerning candidates, as they are in all matters concerning the platform. - "He assumes that they will not se lect him unless they desire to make nn aggressive fight for the application of Democratic principles to present conditions, and he also takes it for granted that the organization of the party will be in harmony with the platform and will be composed of men whose political records will Invite con fidence and give assurance that a vic tory, If won, will not be a barren vic tory. Deposed Banker Shot Himself. Charles T. Barney, for many years one of the prominent financiers of New York, committed suicide at his resi dence, 3Sth street and Park avenue. Mr, Barney shot himself in the head and lived foil'- and one-half hours. His death was reported to the coroner's office shortly after 3 p. m., first as a ase of sudden death and later as one of suicide. Mr. Barney was president of the Knickerbocker Trust company up to a day or two before that institution closed its doors, with liabilities amounting to from $GO,000,000 to $70, 000,000. It was understood, at the time the company closed, that Mr. Barney had been heavily involved by this sum mer's sharp decline in the prices of all securities. He had not been seen at his office for several days and It was known to his friends that he was In a state of physical and mental col- lapse, so that his friends were pre pared for the announcement of his tragic death. Locked In a Telephone Booth. Locked In a telephone booth In the Now York Central station at Utlca, James E. Blattery, superintendent of the Home Telephone company, was last week nearly suffocated while a crowd of spectators stood and watch ed a rescuing party tear the booth to pieces. Complaints that the latch on the door of the booth was out of order brought Mr. Slattery to the booth to make repairs. Going Into the booth, he closed the door to see how the latch worked, but when he tried to get out he found that he was a pris oner In the airtight, soundproof booth. The. walls and door are of double thickness and he knew that unless he could get help he would suffocate, so he turned to the telephone and notified the men at the central office of his predicament. As quickly' as possible a party of men was detailed for the work of rescue. They hastened to the depot with an outfit of tools and after an hour's work tore the booth to pieces and rescued Slattery, who was In a state of collapse. New State of Oklahoma. Admission of Oklahoma to statehood was marked by jubilation throughout the two territories, by installation of Governor Haskell and by a parade and barbecue In Guthrie. Governor Charles N.

The governor's first official act was to order the county attorney at Bar tlesvllle to take steps to prevent the Standard Oil company from complet ing a natural gas pipe line across the border to Kansas! it being the policy of Oklahoma to prevent the exporta tion of gas. U. S. Wheat Shipped to Odessa. The shipment of a cargo of 162, 000 bushels of grain from Gulf ports to Odessa was announced on the New York Produce Exchange. This Is believed to be the first Instance in a number of years in which the United States has shipped wheat to Southern Russia, from which Is usual ly shipped the surplus product of the great Russian wheat fields to Euro pean cities. The shipment is due to the fact that the Russian government has sharply advanced railroad freight rates. It Is believed to Indicate that the foreign demand for American wheat this winter will be heavy, a prospect which .is extremely cheering to bankers and financiers, as It will In fluence the balance of trade in favor of the United States and continue the flow of gold to these shores.

SPECULATION N LAND Cause of Financial Depression, Says Henry George, Jr. How to Prevent Land Speculation? Lift All Tax Burdens From Labor and Production and Pile Them on Land Values Price of Land Would Not Mount to Eat Out Prosperity, New York, Nov. 19. Henry George, Jr., was the principal speaker at the evening session of the Single Tax tonferrnce nt Murray Hill Lyceum fast night. Others who spoke were Mayor Brand Whlltlock of Toledo, O.; Raymond Rohbins of Chicago and William Lloyd Garrison. Mr. George prefaced his remarks with a discussion of the late financial Upheaval, and as a remedy for cur rency stringency advocated the postal savings banks system. Even this, however, or any other elastic currency plan would not prevent business depres sions, he said, because "the cause of such depressions goes to the root of production, the land." "The two fundamental, primary fac tors in " production," continued Mr. George, "are the natural factor land and the human factor labor; and whatever touches either of these goes to the seat of business activity, be cause it reaches the foundation of all production. "In all times of prosperity specula tion 1r afoot; and of all forms of spec ulation that which Is moBt far-reaching and Important is In land. Witness the recent era of great prosperity and as a consequence, behold over the country today land speculation ram pant In the greater and lesser cit ies, In the towns and villages, In the Ifarmlng and timber and mineral re gions, in the East, the West, the North, the South, and all through the great valley of the Mississippi, there has been marked increase In specula tive rent. "This means that land, the natural factor in production, Is made increas ingly harder to get. It demands and obtains as the price of Its uses a larger and larger share of the fruits of pro duction. Labor and capital which Is a .form of labor, being stored labor must be content to divide between them a less and less share of produc tion, until suddenly somewhere In the chain of exchanges, this circumstance cr that, trifling at another time, snaps the strained general credit and banks call In and refuse loans. Loans are the breath of Industrial life, and being ut off, mills and factories Btop, com mercial enterprises fall, multitudes of workers are thrown Into idleness and the country sinks In the grip of an in dustrial depression. "On the one hand are large stocks of commodities of all kinds, and the cry Is that there has been an over production; but this seems to be true only because on the other hand a large mass of workers suffer enforced Idle ness and hence are unable to buy. Land speculation has produced the Idle workman and the overstocked mer chant. "This Is what we see enacting about us at this hour. The currency panic was only the small thing at tthe top that snapped general credit. At the base of all production monopoly has been making land, the general factor, artificially scarce, until the starting of a pebble at the mountain crest was all that was needed to precipitate an ava lanche Into the valley below. "How prsvent these depressions? By preventing land speculation. How prevent land speculation? Bv taxa tion. Lift all the tax burdens from in. bor and the fruits of production and pile them on land values regardless of improvement on ground or economic rent. That would destroy land snecu- lat.lon kill land monopoly. The price of land would not then mount to eat out. Industrial prosperity; and an In dustrial depression in what should he a country of nlentv Tor all wnnM thenceforward be a thing of the past." Reasonable Doubt In Graveyard Case. Rochester. Nov 19.
