JACKSONVILLE, Dec. 22.—Deputy
Sheriff Peder T. Johnson is dead
from two bullets received while at
tempting to arrest an unidentified ne
gro on Union street Sunday morning.
Two policemen, who also were
seeking the negro for promiscuous
shooting, heard several shots, and
rushing around a nearby corner, found
Deputy Johnson dying on the sido-
walk'and the negro fleeing. He emp
tied an automatic revolver at the po
licemen and they returned the fire, but
he escaped.

By B. C. FORBES.
President Wilson is now willing to
listen to financial reason. The Wash
ington dispatches that he granted
a 30-minute interview with James
Speyer, the international banker,
have been accepted as an encourag
ing omen, for heretofore the door of
the White House had been regarded
as closed to any citizen identified
with Wall street.
• • •
Mr. Speyer is one of the most level
headed, democratic, broad-minded
financiers America can boast. His
sympathies are not confined to high
finance. He takes a broad-gauge,
long-range view of economic prob
lems. To him workers are not mere
animated machines, mere automa
tons. They are human beings, cast
in the same mould as himself. He is
active in charities and in organiza
tions that deal with the unemployed.
• • *
It is to be presumed, therefore,
that in his talk with the President,
Mr. Speyer did not fail to emphasize
the need for straining every effort
to stem the onrushing tide of un
employment. 1 discussed this phase
of the sftuation with Mr. Speyer re
cently, and I know he regards it ai
most important and as demanding
the most serious consideration. As
a director of concerns employing
many thousands of men. Mr. Speyer
naturally has first-hand knowledge
of industrial conditions.
• • *
Mr. Speyer is even more intimate
ly identified with railroad systems.
None knows better than he the plight
into which the railroads are sinking.
It is believed—and hoped—in finan
cial circles that Mr. Speyer could
not have neglected the opportunity
to impress upon the administration
the actual railroad status to-day and
the outlook for to-morrow if things
continue in their present direction.
* * *
Henry Walters, financier and rail
road authority, recently remarked to
a friend. I am told, that there were
28 railroads, big and little, which
would fall into receivers’ hands were
nothing done to stop the current
trend. He had the names of the 28
at the tip of his tongue.
• ■* •
Last week I made a public plea to
the Interstate. Commerce Commission
to forego part of their holidaying,
take off their coats and get to busi
ness in dealing with the Eastern
railroads’ request for higher freight
rates. I would repeat that exhorta
tion with even greater earnestness
now. The prevailing uncertainty is
paralyzing. It should not be pro
longed one unnecessary day. Con
ditions are unhappy enough without
needlessly aggravating them by a
dilly-dallying, what’s-the-hurry pol
icy in so grave and pressing a mat
ter.
• * •
Aren't a revolutionary new tariff
arid an impending new currency law
unsettling influences enough for the
present? Why pile on the agony by
gratuitous acts of omission or com
mission?
• • *
If the entente cordiale could only
be firmly established between those
who employ men and those who are
running the Government, a return of
confidence would be greatly has
tened.
* * *
Unfortunately, the Treasury De
partment is at loggerheads with
banking interests and has followed
a policy that has evoked widespread
criticism. The intimation that whole
sale, eountn 7 -wide prosecution of
bankers is being planned by Treasury
officials is construed as a fresh Indi
cation of the relations between the
department and those who manage
the banking business of the land. So
long as a spirit of hostility exists, the
possibilities of an unsettling rupture
will not be dismissed from mind.
* * *
May it not be that F’resident Wil
son will take a hand in smoothing
out existing wrinkles In the general
situation? The financial community
has more faith in him than in the
majority of his Cabinet.
• * *
Even a rumor that real heavy
weights would be chosen as mem
bers of the Federal Reserve Board,
the overlords of the nation’s new-
banking system, was accepted grate
fully by financial circles yesterday.
The rumor, however, was very thin.
It named James J. Hill as prospec
tive chairman of the board. Mr. Hill
months ago declared he would NOT
accept a position on the board. Paul
M. Warburg was given as another
selection. Mr Warburg told me yes- !
terday afternoon that the news was j
news to him—that, indeed, he didn't
believe it was news, only talk.
• * *
If the Government could induce
men of Mr. Warburg s caliber to join
the Federal Reserve Board, even If
for only the first year, our national
bankers would lose much, if not all,
of their nervousness over the admin
istration of the new system.

“Wheat—The continuance of a dull
but steady market Is probable during
the next few days.
“Corn —The market as a w’hole does
not yield readily to bearish sentiment
and reacts easily from an oversold con
dition.
“Oats—Competition from Canada in
the rash department Is causing a re
newal of bearish feeling and Inducing
some short selling
“Provisions -The market generally is
in no way weak.”

“It is evident that the position of
