injury Of score of persons, and one, at
least, will die. The funeral of Mrs. Bow,
wife of Assemblyman Bow, was in
progress. The services took place at the
family residence and were attended by a
large number of friends and neighbors
The house was crowded. The services had
hardly begun when there was a cracking
of timbers, followed by a collapse, and the
floor of the building collapsed. Under the
main apartment, in which nearly all the
congregation had assembled, was a cellar,
and into this fully 100 persons were pre-.
cipitated.
They were entangled in the debris Of
broken timbers, flooring and furniture,
and 1t was some time before those who
had escaped the crash could extricate
those in the cellar. When the rescuers
had assisted all from the cellar it was
found that fully one third of the number
who went down with the floor were hurt,
fully twenty receiving severe bruises and
cuts. One will die, Mrs. Vanberg, who
was badly crushed and injured internally.

A temporary injunction was obtained

where the company had congregated, and
the injunction was served on the assistant
Artz' representative, who insisted that as
the injunction was not on him he would

NEW YORK BANKERS.
They Believe the Purchasing Clause of the
Silver Bill Is Doomed


NEW YORK, Oct. 2-Bank officers here
are almost unanimous in the opinion that
the senate ultimately will repeal the pur-
chasing clause of the silver act, and there.
by restore to foreign investors faith in
American securities. George G. Williams,
president of the Chemical National bank,
who is probably the oldest bank officer in
this city in point OF service, in speaking to
a reporter of the problems which are now
puzzliug not only the financial but also
the business community, said: "In the
past few weeks there has been a very no.
ticeable improvement in the financial
situation, but the movement in that direc-
tiop is now retarded by the dilatoriness of
the senate. No condemnation can be too
severe to characterize the action of certain
we'll l-known senators who are blocking leg
islation which they know is needed by the
people OF this country.
"The cloud on the horizon which is in
dicative of a storm grows larger and larger
every day that action is defeated on the re-
peal bill / firmly believe that if the senate
will pass the bill stopping silver purchases
by the government the recovery in the tone
of business will be phenomenal and the
III SNCiy quarter Will De SO
great that we will surprise the nations of
the earth by the exhibition of our recu-
perative powers"
Asked for his opinion as to the advisa-
bility of repeating the state bank tax and
allowing state banks to issue circulation
under national supervision. Mr. Williams
said: "No scheme that may be devised
can be as secure as the one we already
have. 1t will be very unwise to repeal the
tax on state bank issues"
"What is the general situation though
out the country as reflected by your
correspondence" asked the reporter.
"The situation is much better than an
ticipated, for this is the season for heavy
borrowing by interior banks, and as their
wants as borrowers are greatly diminished
we know they must be nearly able to take
care of themselves"

dollar could be made out of compressed
wheat. You take a bushel of wheat and
squeeze the water out Of it and then COM
press 1t into hard cake the size of silver
dollar and stamp the government mark
upon it. That would represent the actual
value and labor performed, and then you
could eat your dollar, for when you wanted
to use the wheat all that would be necessary
would be to put your money to soak We
should then have the bushel of wheat as
permanent unit of value which all farmers
would appreciate, and the currency of the
country would represent actual worth and
labor performed. Both gold and silver
could then be dispensed with and the
present bimetallic problem solved. Our
currency, moreover, would be as good as
gold or silver in f,reign exchanges. for our
wheat goes to all the countries of the
world.

In all this talk about metal for coin

prised that no one as suggested IRON
Iron is the most precious metal. Gold is
of no use, or silver either Mankind has
no use for either gold or silver; iron
could not be dispensed with If the people
would only give up this foolish. traditional
heredity hankering for gold and silver,
those metals would not be worth the price
of old lead and would be kicked aside by
civilization. The human race on the other
hand cannot dispense with iron. Iron
must be produced to keep pace with con-
sumption or its price will steadily rise.
The demand for iron is steady and will
never cease. Therefore, why not issue
treasury certificates on iron' This Is the
greatest iron producing country in the
world and our output amounts annually
to more than the output OF both gold and
silver. Instead of loading up the treasury
with those useless metals, and, as people
would want bills of large denomination to
accompany the wheat dollar. why not buy
iron or steel instead and issue treasury
certificates upon thatfn
