PAYING OUT GOLD.
Treasury officials Paying Out Yellow Metal
When Other Money is Preferred.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Much curios-
ty has been shown in banking circles
as to the cause of treasury officials
voluntarily paying out gold in settle
ment of clearing houses balances and
| for government checks over the
counter when some form of currency
would have been mora desirable to the
payees. Conrad n. Jordan, assistant
United States treasurer, declined to
give any reason, but suggested that l
might be inferred to be due to desire
to provide for some need for a supply
of currency at no distant date. From
another source it was learned that the
government was paying out gold in
provision for future currency demands
for moving crops. If, as supposed. the
great scarcity of currency caused by
precautionary measures taken by
banks and the currency in the vaults
of those country banks, then there
will not be very great demand on
the treasury for currency to move
crops. but If the missing currency is
boarded by the people then the treas
ury expects to have all it can do to
supply the demand for currency for
the next few weeks.
The Star this evening says: Con-
siderable effort is being made by finan-
cal agents here to discover the motive
behind these payments, but the de-
partment is close mouthed as a clam.
An explanation got through private
sources is that the department is try
ing to take advantage of the scarcity
of small convenient currency for inter-
nal business to pinch the banks as the
banks have pinched the government
by storing gold. 1t is very probable
the issue of gold certificates will not
be resumed if the gold reserve gets
above a hundred million as it is not
clear that the law is mandatory in re-
quiring a renewal of this issue after it
has been stopped by reason of the re-
serve falling below hundred millions

ing for them"
George Pond was a car cleaner in the
employ of the Gull, Colorado and Santa
Fe, and his parents reside down the
island. A sister whom he had not
seen for nine years arrived in the city
from Alabama yesterday on visit to
her brother and parents, and was
stopping with the family of Mr.. But
terowe.
Albert Butterowe was the son of
Gustave Butterowe, a car inspector of
the Santa Fe shors.
Willie Klauson, the 12-year old boy,
whose body has not yet been recov-
cred, lived with his parents on
Thirty-eighth street. His father is

Bourke added that he saw there was

were ordered full speed astern. 1t
