In announcing his resignation, Mr. White issued this statement “During my term of office I have beeh | to quite an extent in contact with the | financial and industrial conditions of | the entire United States and have been particularly interested in the great development now going on in a con- siderable portion of the Southern section of our country. While on a recent motor trip of 1,800 miles through a part of this section, I was greatly impressed with the progress made and the great pos- sibilities of its future.

It has | the raw material, both mineral and tex- tile, right at its door. It is in the center of a large consuming population. The eyes of the manufacturing world are turned that way and numerous new en- terprises. are in formation. Cheaper Money Needed. “At the present time more and cheap- | er money is the greatest need. The South has been and is paying too high | an interest rate on its loans even though secured by first class mortgages on in- come-producing property. It needs one or more strong organizations to sta- | bilize and guarantee the loans. With | this need in view a group of substantial business men of that section have re- cently organized the Southern Mortgage | Guaranty Co. at Chattanooga, Tenn. These men subscribed $1,500,000 to the capital stock of this company. This capital is being increased, the ultimate plan calling for a total of upward $25,- 000.000, as its business needs require. | This company proposes to uncondition- | ally guarantee first morigage real e erties which meet its rigid requirements 50 that the investor will be absolutely assured of the payment of both the principal and interest of the mortgages or bonds that he may purchase.” DAMAGED BY WAVE Searchlight on Foremast, 85| Feet Above Water Line, Is Wrecked.

Dr. Jason Noble Pierce, sound the deathless keynote of the day—the story of the risen Christ It seemed that most of Washington's throng of visitors had assembled in the vicinity of Tenth and G streets to get a glimpse of their President, and they had bedecked themselves with their best frocks and suits. The church itself was packed to capacity, and more than 5,000 persons had to be denied admission for lack of space. The throng in the street and on the sidewalks in front of the church was so dense that it was with some dif- ficulty that the President's car reached the curb.

Crowds at White House. The President's Easter greetings were not confined to the front of the church. More than 1,000 persons were stationed about the front portico of the White House to see him when he appeared on his way to church, and a still greater crowd was on hand to cheer him on his return. Large crowds were gathered about the gate leading from the White House grounds to Pennsylvania avenue. In his Easter sermon Dr. Plerce stated that Easter is the most signifi- cant Sunday of the church year, be- cause it was commemorative of the fact that “those who believe in Christ shall never die.” Recalling the sayings of St. Peter, he said, “By the grace of God, I am what I am.” Some time prior to leaving the White House for church the President went for a long stroll in the business section. | Even at that early hour the streets were fairly well filled and he was kept busy bowing and lifting his hat in re- sponse to greetings from passersby.

The right of the Senate Interstate Commerce committee to examine pro= duction costs of West Virginia coal operators was challenged today as the committee, after a week recess, resumed its investigation into the bituminous mining industry. Former Senator Stanley of Kentucky again declared this power was not granted by the Constitution, contending on behalf of the subpoenaed West Vir- ginia operators that their accounts were private and bore no relation to interstate commerce.

Fisher of Pennsylvania, regarding questions asked by him in response to the invitation for him to testify in the investigation.
