T. vative bankers that under present conditions it will not be prudent to pursue a narrow policy, and it is necessary to britis the lmportanftrust companies into full fellowship with the clearing house it will be done.

The clearing house certificates authorized today will be issued in substantially the same form as those authorized from I860 down to 1893. Banks desiring to obtain the certificates will be required to present their applications to a loan committee which will consist of the. regular clearing house committee, with the addition of five other bank officials, who are experts in' the judging of credits and in dealing with banking matters. These additional members are: James G. Gannon, vice president of the Fourth National Henry P.

Davison, vice president of the First National bank: Walter E. Trey, vice president of the Corn Exchange bank; Gates W. McGarran, president of the Mechanic's National bank, and A. il. Wife gin, vice president of the Chase National bank.

When a bank satisfies this committee that the clearing' house certificates are needed and the request is granted, the bank will be required to deposit first class- bills receivable or other good collateral and wU receive seventy-five "per cent the ascertained market' value of i such collateral tn clearing house certificates. These certificates will be accepted in all set for all our people to jrlve -praise and thanksgiving to iJod. ''During the past year we have been free from famine, from pestilence, from wax.

Unwilling to show their full hand if victory coultf be obtained otherwise, and perhaps pot displaying the speed and aggressiveness they might have summoned, the; corrihuskers yet wound It necessary to fight desperately at times to guard their own goal from the invasion of the westerners1, and to score the points that meant victory demanded from them the hardest kind of battling. At the end of tho game the score stood 22 to 8 in favor; of Nebraska, but many of the spectators left the stands feeling that the gallant fight of the visitors should have resulted in) a closer score. The game was a contest of kicking. Seldom has a football struggle been waged on Nebraska field, or anywhere else for that Jn which the-work of the toe artiste counted for so much.

Weller and the former captain. of the cornhuskors and tho latter the mountaineer's nervy quarterback, wero, the two particular luminaries of the struggle because, of the points they won by their skill with the boot. Four goals from the field-two for each team was a portion of the kicking record; more than enougn to have won a game as close aa the first of the contest gave prom-iso of rendering It. i Of these, Weller'a first performance, which gave Nebraska its initial score, was a. feat Which fell little short of the remarkable.

From the forty-fly yard line, with the; wind nt aJtrifio, the cornhuskcr captaiii'sTfirtihe bail sailing over the bar on a drop-kick. The kick was ono -ivhfch has not been equalled on Nebraska field in Weller Ik tho- Star. more than the pointa scored in his goals from the field were the result of Wcller's too work. Though Stirretfs punting throush-out the gamo was u'susually strong. Weller outdid Even when punting against the strong wind which blew fitfully from thiv soul west, he was able to hold his own with tils opponent, and time after time, though, failing to gain consistently through; the line or around the tands, Nebraska was able to work the ball down tht field, largely because of the dUtanee covered by Weller's high twisters.

Tho latter proved of even mora advantage to Nebraska than the "dlstanco actually covered by them, the cornhusk-ers' first touchdown being because of tho difficulty Ktirreft "found in Judging a punt from the corn-huskers' leader. Nebraska found difficulty in piercing the sturdy line of the visitors. Sav for the spurt early, ln the second half, when Nebraska, exasperated by tha -defense of the mountaineers, -started a vicious attack of which then Reemed to -be no Cole's pupils, were unable 'to gain- conristentlr through the opposing forwards.

Oct. 26. In repens to a request! of the Associated press as to his vlew. of the present situation J. P.

Morgan said today: "As I have already paid, I cannot too strongly 'emphasize the import, ance of the people realizing: that the greatest Injury that can be done in the present situation is the thousht-less withdrawing; of funds from banks and trust companies and then -hoard Ing the cash in safe1 deposit vaults or elsewhere, thus withdrawing: the supply of capital always needed in such emergencies as that with which we have been confronted during the past week. James Stillmari, president of thS National City bank, who, next to Mr. Morgan, has done more to bring out a solution of the financial difficulties In New York than any other man. eaid: 1 "The wise and heroic action of the secretary of the treasury and the splendid efforts Mr. Morgan, the assistance of the clearing 'house, ha.ve 'demonstrated the sound" financial conditions of the clearing -house banks of this city.

Now, however, in. t- order to facilitate the shipments of cotton, grain, and other, products and to facilitate the imports of gold, the associated bankers' have wisely decided to combine their credit by the Issuance of clearing house certificates -and thus rrevent the paralyzing of a very large part of the business of the country." Siarns of Encouragement. Calmness and growing Encouragement wers the dominant features of the financial situation when the great banking institutions closed this week today, with all the great financial institutions of the city intact after hav ing met the unprecedented demands of the past week. With this signal demonstration of the resisting powers of the banks tame (the adoption-of new said important measures to prevent a recurrence of acute strain. Although the stock exchange and otljer sensa-tive points were free from extreme agitation, yet there were heavy.

with- drawals of cash from several banks and trust companies these withdrawals being for the most part by the smaller depositors. All the institutions affected continued to--pay out on up to noon, the usual hour of closing on Saturday. First of importance was the voting to issue clearing house loan certificates' for the use of the banks themselves in settling their daily balances at the clearing house. These certificates will not go into- general circulation, but their use will enable the banks to keep in circulation for the need of general business large amounts of currency which otherwise would be required tor the settlement of the daily clearing house Plana wero formulated to extend the benefits of clearing house certificates to the Si, companies as well as to the ibanks, which are not at present of the clearing house association, engages Gold for Import. i Another extremely important feature 3 ii ao lire-- uiuHjujice- ment by the National.

City bank that tt had engaged in gold for import. It is believed by bankersr and exchange brokers that this- engagement is the beginning of what will probably be-a continuous movement of fold to New York from abroad. The exchange market is very favorable for the importation bf and It is believed that no difficulty will be met with in securing -the metal from Europe, so far as may be needed, The clearing house certificates will be Issued to those banks making application, thus proving tho satisfaction i of the committee appointed for the purpose the need of them and their ability to deposit the proper collateral. No limit was fixed-to the amount to be Issued, but it is hoped that the amount, asked for would be small. Another step was taken designed to offset the unfavorable effect which might be produced by the fact that the clear-, ing house banks were tn a position to obtain certificates, while the trust companies were left out.

The fear that the trust companies --would bo unfavorably affected by such decision was one of the influences 0 which, led several members of" the ('clearing house committee to oppose the issue of cerriflcates. The step 'taken to oKset this danger the presentation of a resolution by, rhe clearing house committee to ing of the association to the effect that trust companies should be admired to the clearing house. It was provided that this resolution- might be considered at a meeting of the association to be held hereafter. Thus far there have been no applications by the trust companies for admission to the clear- 1 which they might be; admitted have i not been- The; requirement I maae irom oaniss admitted to the uiu Lii snail; Kssep in their own vaults reserve of i25 per cent of their deposits.

Willlaa; to Co-operate. TThile the action taken "today" is not immediately effective so far as it relates to trust companies, it snaws -a willingness of the clearing house banks to, -cooperate with the trust companies? which greatly releives the situation and remoe the danger which some haxTi feared, that each individ-i, ual trust company would be left to i shift for Jtself while the association banks in the clearing house stood firmly It is-felt by conser IS FORTY-NINE YEARS OLD RETIRXS TO' THE WHITE HOUSE IS TIME TO CELEBRATE, 1 1.

If possible, a conspicuous figure on the stage of affairs In a variety of ways he has claimed the attention of the press and the community at large, but from many( standpoints he has been prominent -in 1 relation to the railroads and other great corporations. Incidentally he has done much to smooth away the ill-feeling between the United States and Japan over the disturbances in San Francisco, at the time preserving, a firm attitude by sending or arranging, to send a greatfleet 'of American warshlps to the- Pacific coast.

Early in the present year he fsent Secretary Root to Canada to confer with the" Governor-General on questions of common interest to the peoplo of the United States and Canada; In March he reorganized his cabinet and In the same month sent Secretary of War Taft to Panama and Cuba, to look into the condition of affairs there.

Later fihe arranged the famous around-the-world trip for the secretary of war the' results of which are expected to b-ot great importance in cementing friendly relations of the United and several foreign countries. 5i Early in the year he gave' cidnsider-able attention to the disturbed condition of affairs In Central America finally made successful interventfon in behalf of arbitration to the hostilities Iretween Nicaragua land Honduras. In regard to the number and im- J-portanoe of his public addresses -the year just closed has bee, strenuous one for even the president. One. of the.

tlements of debit balances against the bank at the clearing house. Effect of Certiaeate Iaaoe. The' effect of the issue of the certl ficates will be to leave the treasury reserves unimpaired, and will thus oft-Bet tho heavy drain which might' be imposed upon some of them if large checks withdrawing deposits turned up against them in the clearinghouse settlements. i I The effect of decision to issue clearing bouse certificates has usually been to restore confidence to a large degree and thereby to diminish the pressure which might logically be anticipated in view of the previous demand for The cash left free in the banks will then be available to a larger extent to meet- the ordinary demands for curency fron depositors. The largest issue of certificates up to- the present time -was In 1893.

when the total output was $41,490,000, and the maximum outstanding at any one time $38,280,000. The first issue tvas made in that year on June 21, just before the announcement that the government of British India had suspended the fre? coinage of silver, and fear spread that it would be "impossible to maintain thp value of the silver dollar. No such menace faces the money market at the present time, and under the operations of the gold standard law the accumulation of gold in "the treasury. Including that held against gold certificates, now stands at which is the largest gold' stock in the world. It is not.

believed that the demands of the present occasion for certificates will be large. I The clearing house banks showed today specie holdings of $198,426,000, of which nearly allj was inv gold, and. legal tender holdings of $78,283,700. These items showed a decrease I of $12,900,000 in the bank statement of today as' compared with that of a week ago. While a decline of the reserve below the legal limit is always a subject of remark, it is pot Infrequent during crop movement season, and still leaves so large a fund of cash at the command ef the banks that under ordinary, conditions so trifling "a deficit as that', would not excite any fears.

Statement ty Cortelyou. Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou' caused the following statement to be given out tonight: "On the occasion of a. call on him this morning by representatives of tha New York clearing house. Secretary Cortelyou asked that they convey to the clearing house his deep appreciation, on behalf of the government, of 'the courageous and high minded manner, in which, they have -upheld the. interests not only of the people of this city, but in a sense of the people of the whole country." 1 Later Secretary Cortelyou called upon J.

p. Morgan anS expressed in similar terms his appreciation of jthe services rendered by Mr. Morgan and all who had co-operated with, hlml In meeting the emergency. i The sub-committee of the directors of the Knickerbocker Trust company, who are hoping to bring about a ire-sumption of business of the company met in session today. After the meeting Mr.

Davis, the counsel: for the company, said: "The committee' met and after a dis cussion oeciaea upon a plan- of reorganization with the end in view of resuming business, This plan will bo advertised in detail: as a paid advertisement in the Monday morning newspapers.
