FOR CREDIT CURRENCY
Congressman Fowler Will Intro
duce a Bill at Next Session.
Colleges Lose Legacies Police Head
quarters Burned Strikers Hold Up
Navy Repairs Landslide Followed
Earthquake Illegal Employment of
Children Coinage of $15,000,000.
That permanent relief from the
present and future monetary strin
sency can only be had through
a proper system of credit currency
adequate to meet the requirements of
trade, and redeemable in gold coin, is
the opinion of Congressman Charles
II. Fowler of New Jersey, chairman of
the banking and currency committee,
And at the coming session of congress
he will endeavor to have a law passed
providing for credit currency issued
by the national banks.
Congressman Fowler bag advocat
ed for many years credit currency as
a means of preventing tight money.
Many features of the credit currency
system were more than favorably
viewed by many members of tke
American National Baukera'assoclation
at their convention at Atlantic City
Inst September, Mr. Fowler said.
Until such permanent relief is
made possible by legislative enact
ment, Mr. Fowler declares, the situa
tion must be met by the issuance of
Clearing House certificates, cashiers'
checks and due bills of business houses
and manufacturers.
Mr. Fowler snld: "The underlying
buciness conditions are essentially
sound as evidenced by the increased
earnlngs'of the railroads and the fact
that the value of our agricultural pro
ducts this year are $500,000,000 more
than last year (which was the highest
year In our history) and were bring
ing to our people about $7,000,000,000.
Hut public confidence has been great
ly shaken and credit has been seri
ously affected therefore, every pa
triotic citizen from the president down
should do all In his power to restore
that confidence which Is essential to
national prosperity.
"An Irsiio of credit currency ade
quate to meet the requirements of
trade and currently redeemed in gold
coin is a principle followed by every
civilized country In the world except
our owe."
Five Colleges Lose Legacies.
Becauso Mrs. Lena Head Bodley
of Rlverhead. L. I., married a coach
man . against the wishes of her
mother and George C. Taylor, who
employed her mother as housekeeper,
Yale, Harvard, Williams, Princeton
and Hobart colleges will each lost
5100,000.
Instead the Moses Taylor hospital
of Scranton will receive the $500,000
and $250,000 additional under the will
of George C. Taylor, which was filed
for probate last week.
Mr. Taylor, who lived in Isllp, left
an estate estimated to be worth $20,
000,000. A number of years ago he
brought Mrs. Betsy Head and her
daughter Lena from Europe to Islip
and made Mrs. Head his housekeeper.
In his will drawn up In 1900 he be
queathed $2,000,000 outright to Mrs.
Head and thu Income of $500,000 for
life to her daughter. At Miss Lena's
death the $500,000 was t6 be shared
in lots of $100,000 each by Yale. Har
vard, Williams, Princeton and Hobart
colleges. Then Miss Lena married
Frederick W. Bodley, Mr. Taylor's
coachman.
The millionaire thereupon drew a
codicil to his will in which he revoked
the bequest to the five colleges and to
Mrs. Bodley and substituted therefor
a bequest of $750,000 to the Moses
Taylor hospital at Scranton, Pa.,
which was founded by his father. In
asmuch as Mrs. Head died before Mr.
Taylor did, the $2,000,000 bequeathed
to her reverted to the Taylor estate.
Under the will Mrs. Bodley, the wife
of the coachman, receives nothing, but
It is said that In lieu of the bequest
Mr.- Taylor gave her a large sum
possibly $500,000 before he died.
Police Headquarters Destroyed.
Police headquarters in Buffalo
burned on Friday afternoon. Police
records, the rogues' gallery and many
important documents, including the
original copy of Leon Czolgosz' con
fession of the assassination of Pres
ident McKlnley, were destroyed. The
fire was of Incendiary origin.
Two companies of firemen were
caught in the collapse of the roof and
tapola and eight men were seriously
injured. None will dirt The Injured
mon are Captain Michael Haggarty
and Firemen Charles Basil, George J.
Schuenbleiui, John C. Malloy, Frank
Maloney, Charles Fries, Dennis Ryan
and Albert Witte.
At 2:30 In the afternoon police
Commissioner Zeller pitted up a blaz
ing newspaper in a hallway. Half an
hour later a police messenger found
a blazing window broom In the store
rocm. He had Just reached the com
missioners' room with the smoulder
ing brush when there was a cry of
fire from the street and flames were
seen shooting from the cupola over
the main entrance and from the win
dows on the fourth floor.
The 20 prisoners were handcuffed
together and marched to the Jail. The
firemen apparently had the flames un
der control and were working on the
third floor when the cupola toppled
over and crashed through the roof
and top floor. Two companies of men
were caught in the crash.
They were released after 20 minutes
cf bard work and eight of them taker.
to the hospital. The building was
practically destroyed. The loss is es
timated at $I0O,0CO.
Strikers Hold Up Navy Repairs.
Striking riveters at the Mare Island
navyyaid, San Francisco, have tied up
repair work on. the army transport
Sheridan, and as that vessel now occu
pies the drydoek tho yard Is unable to
take on any additional work In prep
aration for the arrival of the Atlantic
fleet In Pacific waters.
Only about 25 men are involved but
labor conditions on the Pacific coast
are such that it Is said to be almost
impossible to fill their places.
The men were receiving $3.92 a day
and their helpers $3.20. The heaters
received $2 80 a day. The riveters
demanded $25 a hundred for one-Inch
eel rivets and $12 a hundred for
seven-eighths-inch plate rivets. At
this rate they would n.ake in excess
of $25 a day, out of which they would
have to pay their helpers about $6 a
day.
According to the navy department
the men presented their demands and
walked out last Saturday immediately
following the receipt of the news that
the president had definitely fixed upon
the sailing date of the Atlantic fleet.
The department directed that the rec
ord be made that the men have been
"discharged."
Landslide Followed Earthquake.
Tho little town of Karatagh, In the
Klssar district of Bokhara, has been
overwhelmed and completely destroy
ed hy a landslide which followed the
earthquake or Oct. 21. According to
the latest reports of the disaster a
majority of the inhabitants of Kara
tagh lost their lives.
The first leports of the casualties
were exaggerated, the death list being
placed as high as 15,000. Karatagh
has about 2,500 dwellers, and there is
reason to believe that about 1,500 were
burled alive. Among those who sur
vived the disaster are the governor of
Karatagh and his mother.
Karatagh Is remotely situated and
It takes a full week for news to come
from there, but according to one cour
ier who has arrived, an enormous sec
tion of the Karatagh mountain, which
practically hung over the town, broke
iooee and thundered down upon the
village, which Is almobt completely
buried from sight.
Efforts ar being made to communi
cate with the survivors and learn the
actual Btate of -affairs and to send in
such relief as may be required.
Illegal Employment of Children.
It was announced at the state de
partment of labor at Albany that
Commissioner Williams had received
Information that the manager of a
canning factory at Newfane, Niagara
county, was convicted on three
charges for the Illegal employment of
children. Two of these were under
14 years of age and the other under 16
years. They were employed without
having on file the necessary employ
ment certificate. The youngest found
was 10 years of age. A penalty of
$20 was Imposed In each case, making
a total of $00 collected. The com
plaint was made by Deputy Factory
Inspector Sidney T. Wilson. "In con
nection with this matter," says a state
ment given out at the state labor de
prrtment, "It may be mentioned that
If the provisions of the compulsory
education law were fully enforced,
especially In communities where can
ning factories are located, it would
be next to impossible for deplorable
conditions of this kind to exist after
the beginning of tlie school year."
Cashier Crocker Kills Himself.
Frank Crocker, cashier of the First
National SavMngs bank of Chariton,
near Des Moines, la., committed
suicide by taking poison early Thurs
day. The hank Is closed but is be
lieved to be in good shape. An inves
tigation will be made. Worry over
losses from alleged use of Modern
Woodmen funds is believed to have
been the cause of the suicide. Crocker
left a note saying: "I can't bear this
strain any longer " Crocker was once
grand treasurer of the Modern Wood
men of America, and held a national
office In that older up to the time of
his death.
Coinage of $15,000,000 Gold Bullion.
Pursuant to recent directions from
Washington, the coinage of $15,
000,000 of gold bullion will be under
taken immediately at th e mint in
San Francisco. No gold has been
coined here since August, the active
force being engaged' in the coinage of
Philippine pesos. The mint force was
considerably enlarged and it Is thought
that this force will be' adequate to
handle tne rush order for gold
twenties.
Postal Slot Machines.
The postofflce authorities at Ottawa
are about to Inaugurate slot ma
chines for .the sale of stamps In Can
adian citipa. The postmaster general
has approved of them. As It Is illegal
to sell stamps at hotels on Sundays
now In Canada, such an innovation is
badlys needed.

FIIICIERS' BACKING
Strengthens Trust Companies
After Recent Severe RuiC
Advance In Bank of England Discount
Rate Will Not Prevent Flow of Gold
to This Country New York Bank
ers Determined to Strengthen Their
Position Even at a Loss.
New York, Nov. 5. The buoyancy
of the stock market reflected the ulti
mate decision of large bankers to sup
port the two institutions the Trust
Company of America and the Lincoln
Trust company which have been sub
jected to the most severe runs during
the last two weeks. Yesterday was
one of doubt und conflicting rumors
mid the fact that it passed without ad
verse developments is an evidence
that the worst of the situation Is prob
ably over.
At a late hour Monday morning an
agreement was reached, largely
through the Influence of Mr. Morgan,
by which the trust companies will co
operate In future for their mutual pro
tection and the directors will lend the
assistance of their personal fortunes
to meet immediate necessities.
The assets of the two threatened
companies wero carefully gone over
by experts on Saturday and Sunday
and both of fheni were found to be
solvent, with a considerable surplus
atfer paying all claims and providing
for the capital stock. Under the cir
cumstances it was thought advisable
hy the leading capitalists to support
them cordially provided they adhere
to thoroughly conservative methods
and direction In future.
The achievement of these results,
with the steady upward movement of
the stock market till near the close, is
believed to mark the turn of the
crisis. The loss of $30,000,000 In cash
hy the Clearing House banks, accord
ing to their Saturday statement, de
spite the $,0,000,000 which had been
poured into their tills during the week
from the treasury, was expected to
have a disturbing effect.
Gold Engagements of $32,000,000.
It was a worse showing than will be
possible again In the face of the
heavy arrivals of gold. Gold engage
ments since the beginning of the pres
ent movement now amount to $32,
750,000. which will more than bridge
the Ufts in surplus reserve last week.
The cotton bills are not yet fully
available because shipments are slow
and the bills themselves are subjected
to considerable scrutiny before they
are taken.
The fact that the New York market
bid a suflicient premium for gold to
absorb 400,000 from the open mar
ket and to withdraw an addition
al 133,000 from the Bank of
England. Indicated ' tha't the increase
Jn the discount rate of the Bank of
England,, made at a special meeting
yesterday before the opening 'of the
New York market, from 5 to 6 per
cent., was not sufficient to check the
gold movement.
Hence arose much tall; In London
that the rate would be advanced to 7
per cent, at the regular meeting of the
board . of governors on Thursday.
This will he (he highest rate attained
for many years, but with $32,750,000
In gold already on the way to New
York or engaged for shipment even
a higher rate at the Bank of England
would probably not Injure materially
American credit. It Is still Relieved
that the Pank of France would aid
the Bank of England hy loans on sterl
ing bills at Paris if the situation re
quired It.
Calls For Bank Circulation.
Reports from Washington Indicate
that the nntional banking situation
throughout the country Is sound and
that tho efforts of the comptroller of
the currency to get notes Into circula
tion are meeting with - considerable
success. The calls for bank circula
tion are so numerous that the mail
can hardly be handled promptly by
the clerks In the office of the comptrol
ler.
Some of the nnionuls applied for are
small, but they are scattered all over
the country and It Is believed will aid
materially In relieving local pressure.
The price of United States bonds
was firmer than for some time, show
ing an Increase In several classes of
a half of 1 per cent., and Indicating
that the banks are In the market as
purchasers., t.
Accumulation of American Products.
It was stated today that the ele
ralnrs, boats and warehouses at Buf
falo have 3.fion.ono bushels of grain
and 500 carloads of merchandise and
manufactured goods, very largely for
export, against which drafts for gold
could be drawn the moment their
grain and goods were loaded on ves
sels waiting at Atlantic ports for car
goes. The magnitude of this accumulation
of American products Is Indicated by
the- fart that the railways find them
selves unub'e to move it to the sea
board, not withstanding the enormous
development of traffic facilities with
in the last few years.
The New York Central lines have
increased the number of their locomo
tives 81 per cent, within the last few
years and the freight equipment has
been Increased f7 per rent, ut an ex
penditure of over $140,000,000. Other
lines have made largo Increases but
their combined facilities are subjected
to severe strain in getting products
from the Central West to the seaboard.
CONVICT IS INNOCENT.
Allegheny Officers Believe Riverside
Prisoner Is Deeply Wronged.
Pittsburg, Nov. 5. The state board
of pardons will be petitioned to un
shackle Robert Simpson, a long-term
convict in the Western penitentiary,
who, it is said by authority almost
Unimpeachable, was convicted of a
crime committed by a man almost his
double.
Simpson has already served five
years in Riverside and recently Alon
zo Blair, known as the "Altoona Kid,"
who the Allegheny police say commit
ted the crime for which Simpson is
sow Imprisoned, met a tragic death.
Simpson was convicted In connec
tion with the safe robbery in the Ir
win postofflce In Westmoreland coun
ty about bIx years ago. John Conlln,
alias "Farmer John," another Alle-
ghenlan, was also sentenced to tho
penitentiary for alleged complicity irl
the robbery.
Conlln has proven to the satisfac
tion of the police since his release
ifrom priRon that he was in an Alle
gheny saloon for five hours on the
night of the robbery and that Simp
son was III In Allegheny on the same
night.
F. D. Alkins of the Allegheny detec
tive bureau said last night that Alon.o
"Blair and Bill Dally, an expert safe
cracker, robbed the Irwin safe. Blair
was killed on a railroad in Ohio sev
eral months ago and Daily died In the
Columbus penitentiary two years ago,
while serving a long term for another
robbery.
The safe In the Irwin postofflce was
blown open and robbed of several hun
dred dollars by two men after they
had beaten the watchman Into Insensi
bility. A young woman employed in
the Irwin telephone exchange, who
heard the explosion, was overpowered
and chloroformed by one of the rob
bers, who was said to have been
Alonzo Blair While the young wo
man was struggling with the maraud
er a second robber entered.
On the following day she described
'he robbers, who were masked when
thry entered the exchange. The de
scriptions of the men tallied with that
of "Farmer John" and Simpson and
they were promptly arrested and later
sent to the penitentiary. Simpson
and Conlin were convicted on purely
circumstantial evidence. Simpson
was sort to prison for 10 years and
Conlin for six.
When the men were arrested Henry
Muth, who at that time was superin
tendent of the Allgheny police bureau,
declared they were innocent, but the
suspects were convicted on the testi
mony of the operator and by a shotgun
which was found in Conlln's house in
Allegheny.
Conlin and Simpson, according to
Information which has been secured
by Attorney L. B. Cook, who will make
application for Simpson's pardon, ha
found witnesses who will provide affi
davits that they were in Simpson s
company in Allegheny on the night of
the Irwin robbery. It is said that he
spent the gnater part of the evening
with his .wife, who recently died of
consumption.
Lost Life In Fire.
Beaver, Nov. 5. The Dawes & My-
ler foundry In West Bridgewater was
destroyed by a fire early Sunday morn
ing. The blaze originated In the core-
room, where later the firemen found
the chaired remains of a human body.
Identified as that of "Rlggs" Barr. a
wellknown resident of West- Bridge
water. It Is supposed Barr had gong
Intothe room to sleep for the night and,
finding it cold, had lighted the gas
and accidentally set fire to the build
ing. The works were Insured for
about $20,000 and tho total loss s es
timated at $00,000. About 150. men
are thrown out of employment.

Butler Beats Meal Raise.
Butler, Nov. 5. Butler restaurant
proprietors have retreated. After a
brave effort to raise tho price of
meals 20 per cent they gave notice
yesterday that "the old prices will be
restored." Trade was falling off and
home dinners were becoming popular.
1t Is said portions served hereafter
will be smaller and steaks will shrink.

IMPORTED LITHOGRAPHERS.
Decision of Secretary Straus as to
Eight Men Brought In Under
Contract.
Washington, Nov. 5. A hearing of
general importance to organized labor
Interests was held by Secretary
Straus, Assistent Secretary Murray
and Commissioner of Imrflflhatlon Sar
gent of the department of commerce
and labor.
Recently William Volght and seven
other lithographers arrived at Ellis
Jsland from Europe. They had en
tered into contracts to work for cer
tain employing UHiopraphers In New
'York. A protest against their ad
mission was made hy the American
Federation of Labor and by the Lith
ographic Artists, Engravers and De
signers League of America on the
ground that' it was a violation of tho
alien contract labor law. The case
was appealed to Secretary Straus and
he heard both sides yesterday.
The evidence showed that, acting
on an opinion of Attorney General
Bonaparte in June last, In a case In
which It was held that two lithogra
phers were entitled to admission to
America because there was a scarcity
of their class of labor In this country,
the employing lithographers sent an
agent to Kiiropo and contracted with
Volght end his assoeiates.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Secretary Straus decided that the men
should be admitted because the manu
facturing lithographers of the United
States Imported them under contract
n good faith In pursuance of Attorney
General Bonaparte's opinion. Secre
tary Swaiiii ruled, however, that
should oth?r lithographers be brought
over under contract In tho future, the
question of their right to admission
would bo decided cn the facts found
to exist at that time.
