BANK COMMISSIONERS
JEALOUS OF COMMITTEE
Continued from r*sr 1. Column 3
eakor spent*24 hours at the capital In
:onfercnce with the president, the sec-!
rotary of the treasury and Comptroller!
Hidsfley and in talks at their hotel !
tvith Senator Elkins, Postmaster Gen- j
sral Meyer and others. • \
In the first flush of optimism. It was;
pointed out. the fact that Morsren could i
lesre New York for that length of time j
wae assurance to the country that the j
crisis was passed. Today the question I
!s asked, on the other hand: "What j
serious business made Morgan's pres- 1
necessary in Washington for 24 1
hoxirnT'
Th« answer invariably goes back to
the certiflcetes of indebtedness about
which the treasury has maintained a
consistent policy of secrecy. The prcs
if>nt's I*>tt<?r and Secretary Cortelyou's
offer of the certificates and the Panama
bonds wer» made public a week ago j
tonight. The certificates are dated
November 26.
The president specifically said that
the purpose of issuing them was to
draw out the money hoarded by the
people. Last Monday and Tuesday the
treasury would r.ot say whether these
certificates could be used as a basi3 j
, for additional national bank circula
: on. The expectation of the adminis
tration was that the people would rush i
in and absorb all the issue, that the
p!an would be a spectacular triumph
which would start the wheels of com
merce with a rush and a hurrah. But
there was no rush. m
The treasury would not give out fig
ures on the demand, but newspaper
inquiries at the several subtreasurles
showed a dlscouragingly slow applica
tion for the certificates. Even 1 the
banks were not subscribing in any
' Irrge amounts.
The reports btsan to come to Wash
ington that the national banks, or at
J»ast th» national banks of New York,
did not approve of the plan of a pop
ular distribution of the certificates. If
they could get practically the whole
Issue they were willing to take it as a
basis for additional circulation, but
they did not want to divide it with the
people. BpljP
Roosevelt Would Place Heavy
Tax on Emergency Currency
Executive's PJan\ Provides for a.
Quick Shrinkage in Issue
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.— Many finan
cial authorities and others who have
imagined that President Roosevelt had
been stumped by the disagreeable
financial situation and would agree to
Ihe passage of almost any currency
bill, no matter how much It might
fs*vor the banking interests, will be
£&>•<: gree3bly surprised within the next
\V^*k or two.
According to the president's view, as
gained by those who have talked with
him recently, new legislation should
provide for emergency notes which !
would be what their^ nam«» Indicates. |
That Is to say, they "should be taxed,
BO heavily they could not be k«»pt out!
one minute after the time of extraordi
nary rates for money.
Instead of a slight tax, the adminis
tration policy would put a rate of fully \
7 ' per cent on th«?s«; uncovered asset :
notes, and with the money thus derived
Tvould build up a substantial guaran
tee fund which -would satisfy all de
positors and note holders that the
banks were safe, and which would ea
sV.ls the government to step in when
ever, the bank failed and pay off the
major part of its liabilities out of the
guarantee fund. \__,
Jt may be tilling tales out of school
and potsibly there Is no Justification for
ihe statement, but a rumor was cur
rent last winter that if the Fowler
f.nancial bill could pass the house and
senate Jt would-be vetoed by the presi
dent on the ground that it was fj-anied
In th« interest of bankers and did not
safeguard the interests of depositors
or the general public sufficiently.
In a general way the president is
probably now ready to support and
even to urge the passage of a bill which
would be framed substantially on the
lines of that presented by the American
bankers' association, provided the tax
is. increased to a above 6 per cent
on the whole issue.

LITTLETON ENGAGED
Former President of Brook
lyn Borough Will Con
duct Case
NEW YORK. Xov. 24.— The second
trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, the slayer
of Stanford . White, set for one week
] from tomorrow, will b-3 postponed again
and there is little chance that It will
be 'called until some date w*ll along
in January.
The decision to. ask for a postpone
ment has besn agreed to by both sides.
It is due partly to the fact that the
task of securing a jury would be made
I doubly hard because of the approacriSDf
the holidays and the prospect of tales
men spending both Christmas and New
Year locked up under the care of
court baliffs and also to the fact that
Thaw's counsel has applied to the court
for permission to inspect the secret
evidence presented before the lunacy
commission during the progress of the
first trial. *
CHANGE OF VEME
As an added cause for delay; there
is a rumor that the attorneys now.rep
resenting Thaw may apply for a change
of venue, declaring that a fair trial
for their client in New York county is
Impossible. Such a move, if made,
would be based upon the alleged un
friendly attitude of many of the local
newspapers and the extent to which
the evidence was printed and read in
this county.''
District Attorney Jerome "will serious
ly oppose the granting of a change in
the scene of the trial.
District Attorney Jerome and Francis
P. Garvan, his first assistant, egain will
have charge of the prosecution. Thaw
has made an important change of at
torneys, replacing D. M. Delmas as ;
chief counsel with Martin W. Littleton
of Brooklyn.
EVELYN MAY NOT APPEAR
There 1b much speculation as to
whether or not EVelyn Nesblt Thaw,
the school girl like figure about which
the storm and tempest of the first trial
beat out its fury, will again take the
stand In her husband's defense. A re
port has been current for some time
that she will not. Without her testi
mony there would be difficulty In mak
ing out a case of emotional insanity,
which would have to be relied upon to
gain Thaw absolute freedom.
GOLDFIELD'S OUTPUT
OF ORE VERY HEAVY
Shipments During the Week
Have a Total Value of
$674,200.
GOLDFIELD, Nov. 24. — With two of
the largest producers of this camp
storing their ore the shipments to
mills and emelters from the Goldfield
district last week were extremely
large, amounting to $674,200. The
mills of the district have been swamp
ing the smelters until the latter have
been obliged to call a halt.
The Mohawk Junbo, the largest pro
ducer before Its compulsory shut down.
Is still inactive by reason. of the dis
pute between the Jumbo , Extension
and the Consolidated over extra lateral
rights, and the Little Florence, pro
ducing the richest ore of the camp, is
storing its ore rather than ship It at
the smelter rates, which were raised
for the second time in, the last week.
The tonnage and values of the ore
shipped was as follows:
TS.-*t«TU oee purjb»!«lnp company—He

making a total mill value of $30,100.
C^taLination mill— Treated 595 ton* having

700: total tonnage, 6,801; value. $674,200.
. The Mohawk Combination is making
a large output, forcing production be
cause of the near termination of its
lease, which runs only one week more
and then reverts to the Consolidated.
Last week's production was J. 490 'tons,
averaging $7.0.
The richest* car of unsorted ore ever
mined in the Goldfield district was sent
out this week by the., Florence Annex
company from Its lease on the Cornish^
man and Firelight claims of the Flor
ence Goldfield estate-. The car con
tained 40 tons and as sampled by the
"VTestern ore purchasing company av
eraged $948 to the ton, a total valua
tion of 137,920. This ore was taken
from the 300 foot level and shipped
just as it was broken down, which
makes the values all the more remark
able. '

that the recent mutinies at Vladivostok
were caused by four :. girls /who 'went
on board . the destroyer : Sukurni • and
urgedxthe bluejackets; of the! destroyer
to seize the ofQcers of the: steamer; and
escape to Japan with the vessel.
: They agreed, but decided -to shell'the
city from the roadstead before leaving.
A red flag was hoisted and "the de
stroyer opened 'fire on 'the /admiralty]
office and the governor's ; residence and j
then exchanged shots- with' the cruiser i
Mandjur and three destroyers, as well \
as the forts.
The engine room of the destroyer ]
was struck by a shell - from the : forts i
and the vessel was I run 'ashore. to; pre
vent sinking. .The four girls who in
stigated the mutiny were skilled, as
well as a number*: of the bluejackets,
the remainder being; arrested.
The mutiny was followed by a most
active campaign on the part of the
authorities against the revolutionists,
. and consternation prevailed.'
• The British, steamer Mary, which left
Vladivostok October 31 for Nagasaki,
was' thronged with refugees.l The .Vladi

Democrats Will Hold Their

Decide Not to \u25a0 Follow Republicans

SPECIAL* DISPATCH TO THE* CALL
FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind.r Nov.
24. — The democratic national conven
tion will.be held. before, the*republican
convention : next year if the plans
adopted by members of the democratic
committee at a. secret conference; held
here with Chairman Tagsart are car
ried out.
The information comes from a mem
ber of the national committee, and is
perfectly reliable. He says:
"It is vital to the democratic party
whether we lead or follow^in tb^e next
campaign. For years and years- it has
: been customary . for us to wait "until
the republicans have named their:tick
ets,and then for us to follow and name
ours. The same was true of our plat
forms. The result has .been, that, .we
have suffered by being put on. the de
fensive with the voters of the country
—put in the of being; afraid
to act until our opponents had acted.
"The question of breaking that pre
cedent has been , agitating the national
committee for a long time. The drirt
of public sentiment is" our- way now
and is getting stronger all the time.
We reason that now or never is our
great opportunity. We must: take/the
initiative and drive- the republicans
instead of trying, as in past years, to
keep the republicans from driving. us.
go we came to French L.ickSprings~ by !
invitation to talk it over."
"We know that, the republican na
tional * committee f will- meet . in Wash
ington December 6. and; 7,and r at that
meetingjWill set the time and' place for
holding the next republican Rational
convention. ' So that they' couldnot; set
their convention earlier than' ours," we
decided to meet. there on December 12,
after they" had acted.

As Knight has so often and eloquent

MINERS' UNION VOTES
TO REFUSE SCRIPT
SI'ECi.Vr^DISPATCH TO THE CALI;
GOLDFIELD. Nov. 24.— The miners*
union voted yesterday to c»tt a strike
rather; than accept script and cashiers'
checks on the, Cook bank for work. A
referendum vote\of the miners will be
taken Monday, -when this decision
doubtless will be reversed.
These checks are accepted by all
tradesmen and no dissatisfaction was
manifested until "William D. Haywood.
secretary of the western federation, ar
rived here and advised against the ac
ceptance of any thing * but coin by the
miners.-
As;in all former'cases, it Is. believed
a ; ,vote' of '.the working mfiiers win in
sure . peace and continued wori^ and
production.

plicitly as the family physician.* It con-
tains no opium or other xxarcotic, and

as to an adult. Price 25c; large size 300
