HUMILIATE WOMAN BY FOLLOWING HER FLOATISTRANDEB' TORPEDO BOATS IS ASTOR i E HEARING TO DMI RESOLTS ATTIEO IARD FERNCLIFF , X- The public -hearings which will be held In Washington next month by the , National Monetary Commission for the ; purpose ot getting the opinion o bank ers, business men, laboring nen, and the general public on how to reform the banking and currency laws, promise to attract widespread attention and to i draw numerous persons having opin ions on financial subjects to the Capi tal. Likewise, the hearings which sub committees of the commission will con duct in going about the country -will be of Importance. It Is expected that the Information brought out In these hearings will to a large extent give shape' to the proposed legislation which the commission will recommend to Congress next winter.' Doubtless there will be numerous modi flcatlons of the so-called Aldrlch plan for a National Reserve' Association on the strength of what Is brought out at the forthcoming hearings. Attitude of Aldrich. Former Senator Aldrlch, chairman of 1 the commission, is vexed and sore over the attempts to discredit the plan which he has prompted. Especially, he dls- ii likes the movement which originated In , Chicago to drop the word "Aldrlch" from all relation with the plan. .At the same time he Is anxious for legislation k along the general lines of his plan, and Is too sagacious to stand in the way of modifications that ho believes . would" facilitate passage of a measure through Congress. It has been realized that If currency Is to be Issued, uhlch Is not based on bonds, then "It becomes a hard problem ' to settle on what, to do with the up ward of $700,000,000 of 2 per cent bonds now held by the national banks largely a" security for circulation. Various plans for disposing of these bonds hae been suggested, but more or less ob- r Section has been found to all of them. So this topic will be one of the fore most to be taken up at the October meeting here. k Tho most difficult question Is what to do about the State banks and trust companies and how to arrange for them to partlcicpate In the organisa tion. The State banks and trubt com panies will not willingly consent to be left out. On the other hand, the national banks, which are jealous of the growing business of the Stato banks and trust cotrnanles. will not them to participate in the organi zation or association unless they are compelled to submit to strict regula tion which will be up tc the standard of the national banking laws. In theory, the National Reserve Associa tion Is going to be a great unification of the credit of the banking Institu tions of the country, and It lb apparent that if It is to be made as strong as possible the State banks and trust com panies must be taken into It. At the same time, care will have to be taken to fyeep weak Institutions out. Taxation of Notes. Taxation of note Issues Is another question to be considered. The plan favored by Mr. Aldrlch Is to levy a tax based on the ratio of the reserve of the bank to demand liabilities. That is, the higher the proportion of demand liabilities the greater would be the tax. Congress Is never disposed to swal low whole tho report of a commission. Therefore, It is expected when the re port of the monetary commission Is made, there will be a great rush at the Capitol to dissect it It is likely that hearings will be held by the House Banking and Currency Committee and the Senate Finance Committee to con sider the wisdom of the report. NEWPORT, Sept. 12. Mrs. James J. Brown, of Denver, a leader In the so cial Bet here, suffered a humiliating ex perience with the customs officials In Boston. After experiencing difficulty at the customs house Mrs. Brown was trailed for hours by Inspectors, who ac companied her even to the gilded gates of Newport. whon Mrs. Brown arrived in Newport the customs inspectors requested her to open her trunk at the, railway station and surrender a peari-LnecTclace wh!ch she had brought over from Europe. Later the necklace w;as returned to Mrs. Brown with a note of apology from Appraiser Hodges, of Boston. "Two days before the vessel arrived In Boston," said ifra. Brown, "I tare fully made out a list of all my dutiable possessions. "In ordel- to verify the declarations I even presented the bills of sale for the various articles which I had pur chased abroad, but the officials de manded twice as much, as the amount I had figured. The result was that I did not have this amount In cash. In consequence I was forced to drive to a bank' before my baggage could be re leased. "I did not object In the lcaat to pay ing the amount asked by the Govern ment. but I did rebel at being forced to rush about procuring the money. It was noon before I saw my baggage on the way to Newport. At 4 o'clock I drove to the railway station. What was my asiomsnmem, wane waiKini; through me station, to he intercepted by officers from the Boston customs house. "They said they had been ordered by the appraiser to bring back a certain string of pearls. 'Why, my dear man,' I told them, 'my baggage has already gone ahead to Newport. If you want that string of pearls, you must go ton .Newport ror it. "They said they must go to Newport, and must accompany me. I was very much embarrassed at being accompan ied by officers in uniform, but what was I to do? . "When we arrived In Newport I was compelled to open my trunks and deliver the pearls. Later the pearls were re turned to me, accompanied by a letter of apology." Maccabees Are Divided On Increase in Rates That his pasteurized milk station In Washington furnished one of the most striking demonstrations of the value -of pasteurization Is tho opjnlon of Nathan Straus. f A reDort on the -work of the Washlng- 'tori station was presented by, Mr. Straus before the third international Confer ence, for the protection of Infants, at Berlin, this "weeic From records kept by the medical director.

Out of the total, but EL or 10 per cent, died "Of th SIS babies fed with the milk .for a month or more, long- enough for a fair trial, only 20 died. This was 6.2 'per cent. Of the 192 still on the milk at the end of six months, all wero thriv ing." Mr. Straus explained that none of the babies that died were lost through In testinal disorders or from Infectious dis eases. The period of the observations covered the hot months, a poriod espe cially hurtful to babies. Mr. Straus also quoteu ngures snow- !ng the work done during his twenty years' exnerlenco with pasteurized milk laboratories in New York.

AJt present these five vessels rest easily forty feet from their docks. A tornedo hrnxt 'rnnnnt he. nicked UD by a derrick like a ton of stone, or lumber. Neither can ltibe "Jacked" like an Iron fireproof safe. It is too big and heavy to be handled when on dry land. Skids even cannot be placed un der them because they cannot be lifted. This makes the problem of "again float ing the torpedo boats a serious one. A scheme has teen hit upon, however, by tho naval engineers at the Charleston Navy Yard. They have decided to turn powerful streams of water upon "the earth beneath .the vessels and 'literally wash away a. channel from the tempor ary resting place to' tidewater. , This will take time and lots of pump ing, but It seems to b the only way to manage the situation without taking the vessels to pieces.

HURON, Mich., Sept. 12,-Tho special session of the great camp of tho Knights of the Modern Maccabees, called to take action on the proposed increase In assessment rates, opened to day with every prospect of a -lively meeting. Like other fraternal Insurance orders, tho Maccabees have reached that stage of Its career when an Increase In rates appears necessary to meet the losses resulting from tho maturity of the first class of certmcates issued lo the early members and carrying old age annuity as well as death benetH. A considerable element ot the mem bership Is strenuously opposed to the increase in assessments. Their repre sentatives will introduce a resolution to meet the loss not by a raise In rates, but by abolishing a number of highly paid offices that are declared to be sine cures and by otherwise reducing the ex penses of maintaining the order.
