(By Associated Press.l

NY Associated fressb
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The bill to
repeal the 10 per cent. tax on State bank
circulation, as framed by the sub-com-
mittee on Banking and Currency, will
be reported to the full committee for
final action before report to the House.
1t does not repeal the tax uncondi-
tionally, but provides that the issues of
currency shall be under the direction OF
the Comptroller of the Currency and
shall be limited In amount. The Comp
troller's supervision will prevent the
issue of currency which is not amply
secured and tend to prevent wildcat
issues.
1t Is understood that the bill has the
approval of the President, who desires
the repeal II It is surrounded with proper
safeguards.
The Committee base their bill on the
proposition that the regulation Of State
bank circulation by the National Gov
eminent would be permissible under the
interstate commerce clause OF the Con-
stitution on the ground that currency is
one of the means Of commerce between
the States. and that II is the duty of the
United States to regulate the medium of
commerce. no matter by what authority
issued.

SPEAKS FOR DR.. PARKHURST.
Mrs. Parkhurst Tells of the Pastors
Callers and Purposes.

DR.. Parkhurst was again busily en-
gagged this morning, and was compelled
to deny himself to newspaper men, Mrs.

without Interruption. The number OF
callers here during the past three days
has been something awful. On Monday

The reporter submitted to Mrs. Park
agreed that the sweating system was re
sponsibe for many recruits to the ranks
Of the disreputabe women. They point
ed out that this was the root of the
evil. and that Or. Parkhurst should turn
his attention to this matter, instead of
raiding disorderly houses. Mrs. p ark
hurst said:
"NDr. Parkhurst recognizes the evils
OF the sweating system, and will turn
his attention to that matter as soon as
he has succeeded in his endeavor to
breaK up the COlluSlon winch exists De-
tween the police and fallen women. It
is strange that the public cannot recog-
nize that 1t Is municipal corruption and
not disreputable women that DR.. Park

that poverty drives many women to
seeking other methods OF living and I
know that the Doctor will endeavor to
remedy that evil"
The reporter mentioned the fact that
Capt. Schmittberger had expressed his
determination TO keep the Tenderloin

-P0sTOFF|CE AND SALOON
A Partition Will Separate the
Two Places of Business.
Sig. Acconcio Victorious in Little
Italy Politics.

A grave question of Federal patronage
Is agitating the residents Of Little Italy
just now. 1t concerns the removal of
Sub-Station q Of the Post-O Office from the
middle of the block between One Hun
dred and Thirteenth and One Hundred
and Fourteenth streets, on First ave-
nue.. to the lower corner.
This was decided upon some time ago,
and the order from Washington direct
ing the removal to be made tomorrow
will be carried out despite the kicking
of some of the friends OF Sig. La MAZDA,
who for the past two years has been
the manager Of the sub-station.

Hundred and Thirteenth street, because
the place was formerly a barroom, and
part OF the floor is still used for that
concio, has divided the room in the mid
die by a wooden partition so that the
post-office entrance will be on the First
avenue side. while the entrance to the
saloon will be on One Hundred and Thir-
teenth street, around the corner. This,
the Post-Ofice authorities say. is a suf-
ficient compliance with section 43O of the
law regarding post-offices, which reads
mo post-office shall be located in a
barroom or in any room directly con-

Sig. La MAZDA, who keeps an Italian
bank. was also the proprietor Of a liquor
saloon next door; and his place was no
that Of Sig. Acconcio. who is now going
to take charge of Uncle Sans mall for
the district.
The secret of the kick against the
change is the fact that the management
Of the sub-station Is a nice little plum
for the favored Individual, as the com
pensation is $500 a year.
La MAZDA has had the job for two
years; and now the friends of Acconcio.

talking a good deal. and saying lots OF
mean things about Acconcio and his
Postmaster Dayton. who has given his
approval to the proposed change. says
he Is satisfied that the corner Is a better
place for the branch office. and when all
the arrangements have been completed
he will go UP and make an inspection Of
the new quarters.
He says that he has received no pro-
tests against the new location, although
1t was rumored that there was a general
uprising among the residents OF the dis

They are all Italians. and as a general
rule they seem to favor the pretensions
