tor Squire
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Representa-
tive Springer, of Illinois. chairman OF
the WAYS and means committee IN the
last congress. who was at the capitol
Yesterday. ga e it as his opinion that
congress would not be in session for
more than week or ten days IN Au-
gust. In that time the hopeful MT
Springer thought the silver purchase
clause of the Sherman act could De re-
pealed and the WAYS and means commit
tee could be empowered to draft tariff
bill for submission to congress when 1t
recouvened. which should be some time
in October. As TO the tariff, it would
be impossible for the ways and means
| committee to do justice to the subject
while the house was in constant session,
| there were too many disturbing ele-
meuts and the surroundings were not
favorable for wise and safe legislation.
Rut If the committee was empowered
to prepare a bill and was allowed to go
to some quiet place on the seashore or
elsewhere and pursue its labors unmo-
Tested the result would be salts
factory bill.
Touching the course of the ways and
means committee in dealing with the
tariff. Mr.. Springer said it would doubt
less report one general tariff bill IN
stead of a series of specific bills That
policy had done good service last con
gress. but the time was now at hand
when the democratic party must re
deem its pledges and reform the entire
tariff system. To do this would mo-
involve any radical change in the rule
of the house, for Springer believes tina
the majority can always reach an ex
preston OF its will through the com
: nittee on rules. which can bring in
special rule to fit each case as it arises

who rave the startling testimony was

Island avenue saloonkeeper. and the
man who first told of the looting OF the
cold storage warehouse and its firing
by gang of robbers
He was flushed and excited with the
inquisition he had undergone, but said
he had made clean breast OF it all
According to Mr.. Duggan- there were
$50 men concerned in the conspiracy,
and he declared that he had given the
names to the grand jury. He said that
from the opening of the exposition
right I'D to the time of the fire, goods
were stolen. or at least removed from
the cold storage warehouse by the
wagon load. The wagons used were

Wholesale Hoarding Prostrates Exchange
The short supply of Small Bills
NEW YORK. Aug. THE oyershad-
owing question in financial circles was
the scarcity of currency. At many
banks it was admitted that cash pay
ments for large checks over the count
ers had been suspended for some days
except in cases where it was known
the actual cash was necessary In
other words. it was said that the banks
used discrimination. and where it was
thought the demand for actual cash
was made for the purpose of boarding,
the bank had insisted on certified
check being taken
The supply of bills at the sub-treas-
urv is growing limited and has caused
a refusal on the part of the sub-treas-
urv to receive checks from the banks
in pavment of silver dollars and cur
reucv for shipment and pay roll use
The sub-treasury collected the checks
through the clearing house. The order
of the sub-treasury that the banks
must deposit cash against the with

In the very general collapse of the
machinery of the domestic exchange,
the collection of drafts on banks IN
other towns and cities has been man

when a New York banks depositors
turn in a check drawn to his order on
an out-of-town bank the New York
bank RENTS to its own correspondent

sends direct to the bank drawn up
on. In both cases out-of-town banks
have either delayed renting Of

measure of late to direct collection

Gov. IeweIIing Testifies Before the
Hughes Court Martial
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. a-Testerday
morning Gov. Lewelling was the
first witness for the state. He said
that he realized that he was under oath
and he wanted to make statement
touching a publication in the Topeka
Capital that he and Judge Dostsr and
the members of the court martial had a
caucus Yesterday relative to this case
The statement was unqualifiedly false
and was printed to influence the court
martial. and il was not becoming man
or a newspaper.
In reply to questions by Judge Dos
ter. the governor then narrated the
story of the war last winter and re-
cited the incidents leading up to his
calling out the militia and his order to

Gov. Lewelling said he gave no order

The governor continued his evidene
in cross-examination and said he di'
not know who was assembled in tn

he knew was respectful in CON
