WASHINGTON. Match 23.—Thos
F. Ryan, of New York, passed through
i Washington tudav en route to his
country home at Oak Ridge. Va. Mr.
Ryan did not call on president Roose
velt or any other Government official,
although he spent a few hours at his
rseidence here, where Mrs. Ryan is
staying. When asked if he came here
to talk with President Roosevelt, Hr.
Ryan said:
“No. T don't expect to see the Pres
ident. I am on my way to my place
at Oak Ridge, Va.. for rest. Besides,
there is nothing more that t can do
affecting problems now confronting
the President.” C
“You mean the railroad problems?"
"Yes, I mean the railroad situation.
The railroads tire really owned by the
people and not by Wall street brok
ers. They should be taken out of
Wall street and the stock quotation
tickers should be taken out of the
railroad offices. The railroad offi
cers and the practical railroad men
who are charged with the responsibil
ity of operating the railroads should
be in absolute control. They should
welcome every opportunity to confer .
with the President, aiding him In his A
efforts to reach a solution that will be 1
fair and Just to the country and to
the corporations and ensure strict
obedience to tile law."
“What is your view of the present
financial situation?”
“One of the bad features of the sit
uation is that every money center in
the world is finding use for Its capital
In the promotion of home Industries
and is using every bffort to prevent,
its money from going into specula
tion; and while I think we have mon
ey enough to take care of the legiti
mate business of the country, I do not
believe unless we can draw very
largely from European money centers
that there is enough to carry on an
active stock speculation in Wall
street. I think it is the duty of tho
money lenders to frown upon any un
due speculative movement in any di
rection. They should husband their
resources and be prepared to furnish
legitimate business .with the neces
sary capital, and the money neces
sary to move the tremendous crops
that we are likely to have this year.’’
Mr. Ryan was asked to say some
thing about the political situation.
"Politics? No; I haven’t much to
say on that subject. You know I feel
confident that the South holds the
power to dominate Democratic party
politics. Mr. Roosevelt will name the
next Republican candidate-and-dictate
the Republican platform in 190S. That
responsibility he cannot escape,
whether he desires it or not.”

He seized the ship and set about to sell

the vessel and her cargo and the pun

Then, just at the beginning of Feb
ruary. it was announced that the Pul-
tan had appointed a commission to ex
amine the complaints lodged against
Fehim by the German ambassador, r.nd
at the same time to investigate oth -r
charges. This let loose the floodgates.
For twelve years Fehim Pashn had
gone on his course unreeking. (4is en
emies had waited patiently. Men he
had blackmailed husbands, fathers and
brothers he had wronged, people he h id
terrorized into slight memories of tlvir
wrongs regular police who had been
jenlou' of the interloper—all the thous
and and one whom he had given cause
to hate him were ready to give voice
to their enmity. >
Fehim Pasha was notified that he
was a prisoner in his own house, which
was guarded by regular poiIce. Things
went hardly with the f’rmer favorite.
The members of the commission who
were sitting upon his ease detested
him. They had ample grounds nn
which to find against him. A long
list of crimes, ranging from murder and
assault to the extortion ol petty sums,
was charged against him. ami every
day. as the investigation continued the
list was added to. He had blackmailed,
extorted and embezzled. Rich and poor
alike had suffered. He had ordered
gramophones from a Hungarian dealer,
and neglected to pay fer them. By
way of compensation he had permitted
the dealer to speak of him as "my
friend, Fehim.”
One day there were issued t wo irades,
one of which charged the police to keen
a strict watch on Fehim’s a gents, and
to arrest any of them attempting to
commit a crime, and the other giving
orders that none of them was to he ad
mitted into the regular police service
or allowed to usurp the functions of the
police.
Tills marked the beginning of the
end. On February 15 Sir Nicholas
O'Conner, Brrit-'' , h ambassador, had a
audience of the Sultan and h r ought his
influence to bear in line with Baron
von Bieberstein. Some time before th-->
