ROOSEVELT DISCUSSES THE MONJEYSITUATION Secretary Cortelyou Reports on Measures Taken by N. Y. Bankers.

Treasury Reserve is Reduced by Deposits Made in Gotham Institutions.

Washington. D. C Oct. 27. The financial situation was the subject of a two hours' conference ta the White house today between President Itoosevelt and Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou. The policy to be pursued Is was determined, will bo merely a continuance of that which was followed during the last week. More cities are expected to authorize the Issue of clearing house certificates tomorrow In order to strengthen the condition of their banks. The working balance of the treasury has been reduced to $20,000,000 as a result of the action of Secretary Cortelyou in depositing some $44,000,000 in the national banks In New York and Pittsburg. About $12,000,000 of government funds are In the hands of the disbursing officers. Probably Secretary Cartelyou can, with safety take $15,000,000 to meet emergencies during the coming week. If there should be ' another stringency reliance will have to be placed In the New York financiers who have done so much in the last few days for the credit of the country. Plenty of Money Everywhere. According to what Secretary Cortelyou told the president toduy there is plenty of money in New York, as there la everywhere, If people will only leave it In the banks. He declared it is far safer there than it can possibly be in their homes. The president la of the same opinion. It Is the purpose of the administration to facilitate the moving and sale of crops in order that the money which will be obtained from this source may be secured by the farmers and used by them to meet their obligations. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said tonight that the farmers will get more money for their crops this year than they got for those of last year. The total value of all farm products in 1906 was. $6,794,000,000. This enormous sum will not only mean that there will be no hard times for the country, but that the prosperity which has blessed It for a dozen years will continue. Put rulth on Kami.

Secretary Wilson is unable to see any danger in the financial situation, believing It is entirely confined to the speculative element in New York, and he is confident that the next few weeks will show that the farm and not Wall street is the real barometer of our financial welfare. Secretary Wilson's confidence that the total wealth produced this year from farm products will be greater than that of last year is based partly upon the fact that there is a scarcity of wheat and other crops abroad and this has contributed to the increase of prices. Crops at home will not be as large probably as those of 1906 except cotton. As Secretary Wilson said, everybody knows the price of meat has gone up, while the output of the packing house praducts has Increased.

Cardinal Gibbons Believes Tuberculosis Will be Effectually Checked.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 2S. Cardinal Gibbons, in a letter to Dr. John S. Fulton, secretary general of the International congress of tuberculosis, which is to meet here next autumn, expresses the belief that the dreaded white plague at some day in the not distant future will be brought under as complete control as smallpox, yellow fever and other 6courges of humanity have been. Predict Control of Scourge. He says In part: "Sly faith in the ultimate checking of tuberculosis throughout the world is based upon my own remembrance of that other scourge, yellow fever, and the change that has been brought about through the study of the disease. Fifty years ago, and even until recent years, yellow fever was a most dreaded visitor in New Orleans. In one of the epidemics of the disease I contracted the fever myself. "Our freedom from anxiety so far as yellow fever Is concerned we owe to the men who laid down their own lives for the benefit of their fellow men. There was Major Carroll, who died only a month ago, after years of suffering

caused by his voluntary submission to inoculation with yellow fever. There was his colleague. Dr. Lazeur, who died Boon after inoculation. These men were genuine heroes, and too high praise cannot be bestowed upon them for their services to humanity. Iteliglun and Medicine. "In connection with the program of the international congress on tuberculosis, my attention has been called to the investigations being carried on by the men of science abroad. In Frenee, in spite of the materialistic avowals of the scientists, the activity in researches which aim at the ultimate betterment of humanity is marked. Quite recently one of the memorandum books, such as physicians and even the veterinarians carry around in their pockets, was shown to me, and I found that each day of the 365 was marked with the name of the saint associated with the day. The French scientists may profess to bo materialists, but these books show that religion, like Panquo's ghost, will not down. In fact, it is a very lively corpse, for It Is indelibly stamped upon the human soul. "The benevolent physician, guided by Christian principles, is closely walking in the footprints of our b'essed Redeemer, whose mission was to relieve not -only the spiritual but the corporeal Ills of suffering1 humanity, for we read of him in the gospels giving sight to the blind, speech to the dumb and strengthening the palsied limbs. While the physician cannot hope to exercise these miraculous cures, he is able from the storehouse of knowledge to apply remedies which sometimes re

move, and more frequently at least alleviate, the physical sufferings of his patient."

Cleveland, O., Oct. 27. With only one week remaining for active work in the campaign, the Cleveland mayoralty contest is overshadowing everything else here in point of interest in connection with the election of Nov. 5. The record breaking registration has been a matter of surprise to political leaders generally, and election experts are kept busy trying to analyze its meaning and probable effect on the Interests, respectively, of Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who is seeking a fourth term, and of Congressman Theodore E. Burton, the republican nominee. The registration has reached a total of 39,000, which is nearly 20,000 in excess of the normal vote in city elections. The predictions being made by political leaders vary according to the political feelings of those making them. Republican politicians are sanguine

that the big registration augurs that republicans heretofore out of line with their party locally, who did not vote at all, are back in line and ready to vote for Mr. Burton. They point to the fact that the biggest increase in regis

tration has been in the heavy republi

can wards. JoliDtton Claim Victory. Mayor Johnson and his associates, however, are equally sanguine that the increased interest in municipal affairs as shown by the big registration is due to his position on the question of lower street car fares and the regulation of public service corporations, as well as his administration generally. Chairman Baker in his election forecast predicts Mr. Burton's victory for mayor by from 8,000 to 15,000. Mayor Johnson, as well as his managers, are confident that the mayor will be reelected. They predict his majority will be no less than it was two years ago, when he was elected by 12,000.

Slavish Lutheran Church Celebrates Event With Impressive Services.

Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 27. The Rev. Rev. Alfred W. Place, pastor of the First Christian church of Vellevue, a

suburb, who is known as the "Sandow of the American pulpit," tonight preached his farewell sermon and will leave at once for Japan with his family to devote the rest of his life to missionary work. This world famed college athlete will carry more than the gospel into Japan. He went on record this evening as saying that he would intersperse the forward pass, the end run, and the base hit into the life of the coming Japan. He believes more athletic training in the heathen country would be conducive to the advancement of gospel teachings, and it is possibly because of the athletic prowess of the Rev. Mr. Place that he has been chosen as a missionary by the Foreign Mirsionary society of the Christian church. Football and P.nnebnll for Japan, "It is my purpose to Inject some American ideas Into the sports of Japanese," said the minister, who at the University of Chicago, seven years ago, set the student body wild by his record breaking tests of strength. "I Intend to organize not only a football team

but a baseball team as well in Japan and teach them how those two great sports should be played." The Rev. Mr. ' Place played second base on the baseball team and quarter back on the football team of the University of Chicago during his college career, which extended from 1899 to 1902. At this time he gained the title of "strong man champion of all the colleges in the United States." Great Feat With Naked Fist. At a local carnival In Vellevue recently the Rev. Mr. Ulace with his naked fist six times in succession drove the register weight on a striking machine clear beyoud the last mark of registration, collecting all the cigars the man had, and gave them to his friends. He does not smoke himself. Ills work in Japan will be among stu

dents of the Imperial and the Waseda universities.

(Special to Lake County Times.) Robertsdale, Oct. 2S. The corner stone of the Slavish Lutheran church in Atchison avenue was laid yesterday morning at 10 o'clock In the presence of 200 people. The ceremonies were very impressive. The Rev. John Pe-

likau of Chicago was the guest of honor and the principal speaker of the day. Other addresses were a'so made by several leading members of the church.

10 SIFT INDIANS CASE

New York, Oct. 28. Dr. . Walter RGtllette, a former vice president of the Mutual Life Insurance company, who was convicted last week In the criminal branch of the supreme court on the charge of perjury, will be arraigned before Justice Dowltng today for sentence. The maximum penalty Is state prison. There is no fine connected with

the penalty for perjury. A strong effort will be made to induce Justice Dowllng to extend the veteran life Insurance official the greatest possible clemency. When the Jury rendered Its verdict the foreman announced that the Jurors unanimously recommended Dr. Gillette to the clemency of the court. To l'leiwl for Mercy. Ex-Judge Hatch, senior counsel for Dr. Gillette, will make a powerful appeal for mercy, and It will be suggested that the court would commit no error if a suspension of sentence should be pronounced by Justice Dowling. As far as is known the district attorney's office will not ask for a heavy sentence, but will leave the entire matter with the court. Mr. Jerome is not expected to be in court this morning.

Assistant District Attorney Kresel,

who prepared the Gillette case for trial, will be there and move for sentence.

There is a possibility that Justice Dowllng may postpone sentencing Dr.

Gillette in order to look a little further

into the mass of applications for

clemency which he has received from

many friends of the convicted man. It has been said over and over again that Dr. Gillette was only a tool, simply acting under orders, and that it would

He is 67 years of ago and feeble, either he nor his lawyers had looked for conviction. By special permission of Commissioner Cloggy, a few of the closest friends and relatives of Dr. Gillette saw him yesterday In the Tombs.
