A NEGRO SOLDIER SUES To Recover Pay Lost Through Executive Order. Curtailment In Cotton Mills William J, Bryan Florida Senator Breach In Navy Department Fairbanks' Nomination Urged Jamestown Man Killed While Hunting. United States District Attorney tlenry L. Stlmson of New York city said that he had been served with the papers filed In the United States dis trict court by counsel for Oscar Reid, a member of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry which was dis banded by executive order following the rioting at Brownsville, Tex. The plaintiff sues the government to recover pay lost through bis dis charge from the army, but the attor neys in the case have admitted that they were retained by "wealthy gen tlemen of New England" whose real object is to determine the legality of the president's action. Mr. Stiruson said that he had as yet given the complaint only a cursory examination, but that he did not think there was any evidence that President Roosevelt had violated bis constitutional rights in discharging the colored soldiers "without honor." The district attorney added that he had not decided what he would do in the matter. He might, he thought, demur to the complaint, or, possibly, waive that right and, If he was con vinced that he was right in accepting service of the papers, try the case upon its merits. Chase Mellcn of counsel for the plaintiff said: "I am not at liberty to tell who ihe gentlemen bock of this action are. They will disclose their Identity at the proper time and some body will be surprised. They are all men of national prominence. They banded together in an Informal or ganization for the purpose of seeing that ltoor Individuals receive the rights guaranteed them by the constitution of the United States. "They selected the case because his dismlssul appeared to them to be a particularly flagrant case of viola tion of the constitution. He Is a very poor man and could not seek redress himself. They will help any other In dividual, hluck or white, who has been ti fated In the same manner. "These gentlemen are withholding their names at present because they do not want the public to attach any political significance to their action. I can Btiito positively for them that politics has nothing whatever to do with it. Their action Is animated by something higher than that." Curtailment In Cotton Mills. The Arkwrlght club, which repre sents the cotton mill Interests of New England, at a meeting In Boston last week formally voted to curtail pro duction 25 per cent between now and March 1, In order to relieve condi tions in the cloth markets of New York, Chicago, Boston and other large centers.

That a serious-. breach exists at Washington between the bureau of navigation and the bureau of medi cine of the navy, involving the ques tion of responsibility of the lattor bureau, was made apparent In a state ment Issued by Surgeon General Pres ley M. Rlxey of the navy, In which he touches upon the circumstances lead ing up to the probable selection by the president of a medical officer to command the hospital ship Relief, oer the protest of Rear Admiral Mil lard H. Brownson, chief of the bureau of navigation, who sent his resigna tion to the president. While disclaim ing exact knowledge as to the cause of Admiral Brownson's resignation, the surgeon general's statement leaves little room for doubt that the contro versy ho reviews was a potent fac tor.

The banks expected few de mands, as they were convinced the feeling of financial unrest was prac tically over. In most cases the with drawals were more than offset by de posits. Account Sold For 60 Per Cent. A depositor's account of $1,148 In the Knickerbocker Trust com pany of New York, which suspended during the recent financial depres sion, wns sold at auction today for t688 CO cents on the dollar.

FIN H REVIEW Resources of Capital Subjected to' Erjofmbus Strain. ft- - V lit .MLri.Ortaher Storm Broker in All .- - Jts Forcf 'with Collapse of Corner I J I AxJ fii.i.. a KJ si m I ' Bafts Stood Up Better Than In Crisi ,of 1893. New York, Dec. Sl.-The year 1907 has been one in which there has been niuch making of financial history. It will go down with 1857, 1873 and 1893, as one of the panic years in American finance, but despite the remarkable stress and strain to which the finan cial structure has been subjected, the year closes with conditions stronger nd safer than they were when the year began. The year opened with feeling Jn conservative quarters that speculation had already been carried to an un warranted holght and that prudence was imposed hy conditions upon banks and capitalists. That this feeling op erated to Rome extent throughout the year, and that there was a scarcity of capital for absorbing new securi ties, was Indicated by the diminished tiansactlQiis In stocks and bonds on the New York Stock Exchange. The number of shares dealt In In 1907 fel to 1!)5,169 192. Bonds sales were $561,651,500. The number of stocks dealt In In 1900 was 288,424,234, and the bonds Bales for 1906 were $G70, 817,333. Pressure on the Money Market. The source of the pressure upor. the money market Is indicated by the large issues of securities which took place during several years prior to the crisis. The statistics compiled by a leading financial Journal In Brus sels showed that the total iissues throughout the world averaged for the five years ending with 1906 about $3, 400,000,000 annually. In the United States issues of stocks for the first eleven months of 1907 were $757,359,-' "500, and of bonds and notes $1,073, 1190,000, making up a total of $1,831, p49,500. Securities of all kinds Is sued in the United Kingdom for five years ending with 1904 have been esti mated by experts at $3,454,978,000. The extent to which capital re sources have been strained was not re vealed In a striking manner to the general public until "the silent panic" of March 14 now almost overshad owed by later events, but at the time one of the most serious and remark able breaks which the market has ever suffered. The loss of 19 points In Amalgamated Copper in a single day,- 21 points In American Smelting, 22 in Reading snd 25 in Urtlon Pacific, added to considerable previous de clines at a slower rate, wiped out mar gins, compelled the calling of loans and wrecked the fortunes of many specula tors. It was not until mid-October that Ithe storm broke In all Its force with the collapse of the corner in United Copper, the appeal of the Morse Heinze banks to the clearing house for help and the refusal to extend such help until the old control was elimin ated. Events moved fast and furiously on the heels of these revelations. The Knickerbocker Trust company was closed Oct. 22, after paying out about 8,000,000 In cash; and runs began upon the Trust Company of America, which called for the disbursement of i$;!4.0O0,000, and upon the Lincoln Trust company, which suffered a near ly proportionate loss of deposits. Suspension of Cash Payments. The suspension of cash payments by practically all the banks and the de cision on Saturday, Oct. 26, to issue clearing house certificates on the fol lowing Monday, marked the culminat ing stages of the crisis. Secretary Cortelyou hurried to New York and deposited about $30,000,000 of public money In the national banks of the city. Foreign exchango, which had been adverse, fell to the gold Imports point and by Nov. 10 the engagements of gold for 'import had reached $50, 000,000 and before the close of De cember about $106,000,000. A few days later Secretary Cortel you announced his plan 'for drawing money from hoards and pernllittlng an Increase In the bank note circulation by Ihe offer to the public of $50,000, 000 In 2-per-cent bonds for the con struction of the Panama canal and $100,000,000 In , one-year certificates bearing Interest at 3 per cent. This announcement, accompanied by a vig orous letter from President Roose velt, did much. In the opinion of many bankers, to stay the partlc, so that eventually it was necessary to isaue only about $25,000,000 of the bonds and $15,000,000 In the one-year certifi cates. The old year ends with prices of commodities and securities much low er than a year ago and with liquida tion largely advanced In the banking field, if not In the field of commodi ties. The great stock of currency ab sorbed during the peiilod of panic Is returning to the banks and the action just taken by the secretary of the treasury to recall a part of the de posits of public money in the banks will tend to check the outward move ment of gold which in some quarters is expected within- the next few months. The financial structure ol the country has stood the strain with only a Unfiled number of serious dis asters and will enter upon the new year under much stronger and safer conditions than It began the old year. SECRETARY TAFT IN BOSTON First of Three Speeches Was Devoted to' Progress In the Philippines. Boston, Dec. 31. -Progress in the Philippines politically, educationally and sanitarily, all tending toward ulti mate self-government, was the basis of the address of Secretary of War William H. Taft, before 400 Boston ministers. It was Secretary Taft's first public utterance since the com pletion of his tour around the world, as well as the first of three addresses re was to make In Boston. Ministers of all denominations at tended the Pilgrim Hall meeting, by (imitation of the Congregational cler gymen who regularly hold session there on Mondays. Rev. Allen A. Stockdale of the Union church of this city acted as moderator, and asked pev. Dr. Joseph Anderson of New Haven, a member of the Yale corpor ation with Secretary Taft, to intro duce his college mate. Ultimate Self-Government. Secretary Taft in his Bpeech re futed the arguments of the so-called antl-imperlalistii, the majority of whose advocates, he seemed to think, belonged in Boston. He Bald that viilth only 7 per cent of the inhabitants of the Philippines sufficiently educated to nnderstnnd self government, it would be dangerous to give the islands over at this time. He placed ultimate self-government not earlier than a generation or perhaps two of them. He said that great progress had been made in the last five years, but that the movement of education has been held back by lack of funds. He hoped that the islands would not be given up entirely to sugar or tobacco industry, because both were controll ed more or less by policies of the busi ness world. He considered that the hemp indus try was the most lucrative, wlilile he strongly advocated the removal of the tariff in this country on sugar and to bacco from the Philippines. Mr. Taft was warmly greeted by the audience, and several leading divines who spoke briefly referred to his po litical future and expressed hope that he might become president. The principal object of Mr. Taft's visit to Boston was the .fulfillment of his promise to speak before the Bos ton Merchants' association, but reach ing the city several hours before that event, he consented to address the ministers and to attend a reception at the Elysium club, a Jewish organ ization. Between times he was the personal guest of Mb brother-in-law, Samuel Carr, a prominent business mnn. In his address at the Elysium club Secretary Ta'ft described the work of digging the Panama canal. In con clusion he said: "I venture to say that we shall be disappointed at first In the amount of business done in that canal. It doubles the efficiency of our navy, but lin the matter of trade you cannot itum it all at once, and I will say It wili take ten years to adjust the world to that new method of getting round lit. I do not believe we will get our money out of the canal In a great nmny years In the form of tolls, but It Is not necessary that we should. It Is a great work of mankind that we are doing and we can well afford to wait for any profit. Insurance Against Unnecessary War, "And now about the navy. I am the secretary of war and that has a very formidable and pugnacious sound. As a matter-of fact, if we hud a war, I should feel fike resigning. I do believe from the Boles of my feet to the top of my thin hair that a navy maintained as it ought to be, because we have the money to maintain ft. is an insurance against unnecessary war. Not that we should lioast, but a nation of 80,000,000 people who be lieve themselves as far advanced In civilization as any nation, should be In a condition where, when it is nec essary to assert themselves, they may do so not only with dignity but with something behind that dignity to en force their Judgment." Concessions by Landlords. New York, Dec. 31. Leaders of the east side tenants who are agitating for a reduction of rents announced that lanlords of two apartment houses have accepted reductions of $1 to $1.50 per month from their tenants. In one case the rent hud been $18 to .$23 per month, and In the other $10 to $19, The leaders opposed settle ment on this basis and urged insist rnce upon a 20 per cent reduction,, but the tenants Ignored them and paid their rent for January, securing also an agreement that rents wfll not be advanced for six months. Jacob Frank, one of the lenders of the strik ing tenants, said that an Investigation shows that 75,000 workers are idle below Fourteenth street. Charles Finley Dying of Consumption. Georgetown, Ky., Dec. 31. At the trial of Caleb Powers, for complicity in the Goebel assassination, Attorney Wilson, speaking for the defense, de clared that Charles Finley, who was Irdlcted with Powers and Is now a fugitive In Indiana, would have come back to Kentucky to testify at this trial, hut is dying of consumption and unable to travel.
