SECRETARY CARLISLE AGAIN.
He Presen Bill EmbodyiDg His Finan-
cial Plan.

WASHINGTON, y. c.. December IL
Interest in the second days appearance
of Secretary Carlisle before the Banking
and Currency Committee of the House
was shown by the promptness with which
the members of the committee gathered
this morning. With a few exceptions all
were in their seats at 1918 o'clock.
Pending the arrival of Secretary Car
Isle Horace White, Of New York, ad-
dressed the committee He said he had
drawn a bill which embodied his idea OF
the Baltimore plan. but which had moi
been adopted by the Baltimore commit
tee He proceeded TO read at some
length a carefully-prepared paper cover
ing the general subject Of banking.
Secretary Carlisle. who had appeared
some time previously, addressed the com
mittee at the conclusion Of the hearing
given Mr.. White He had come at the
request of the committee to present a bill
he had prepared TO carry out his financial
plan, which he proceeded 10 read without
Introduction. When he had finished read
ing his bill Mr. Carlisle explained 'hat
section repealed sections and u of the
act Of July y. 1852. Section Q Of that act
authorized deposits of lawful money by
national banks 20 withdraw their deposits
Of circulating notes. II might not be
absolutely necessary, he said. to repeal
that section If the proposed plan was
adopted. bat still the spirit Of the sec
ton was that any national bank shall
not retire in the aggregate more than
$4,000 a month. and, having done 80,
shall not be allowed to Increase its cir
cuatlon in six months. Section II OF
the act OF 1852 referred to gold certificates,
and their suspension when the gold re
serve fell below 500 600 600, and concerning
this provision Mr.. Carlisle said IT was
not good policy for the government TO
establish warehouses for the deposit of
gold and TO issue gold certificates against
It. for the reason that this gold. or a
large part Of II. would come into the
Treasury and stay there II these certifi-
Gates were not issued against It.
But, said Mr. Carlisle this was not an
essential part Of the matter. His own
view was that 1t would b. beneficial 10
the government to issue these certificates
but TO have the Treasury hold the gold
and pay 1t out 50 as to get 1t into circu-
lation.
TO Mr.. Brosius Of Pennsylvania, Mr..
Carlisle said his theory concerning ma
tional banks was that the government
should be wholly divorced from relations
with them, except insofar as IL was neces-
sary to throw safeguards about them
I'm order TO insure their stability and re-
liability His belief in this connection
was based on both constitutional and
practical grounds.

PICTURE OF WASHINGTON.
Presented Yesterday by Sons of
America Revolution to Students.

a patriotic air pervaded the Central High
School yesterday afternoon. The front of
the large exhibition hall on the upper floor
OF the building was mass of color. The two
handsome stands OF colors used by tho
regiment OF High School Cadets had been
pressed into service, and were tastefuly
draped at the rear of the platform. The
principals rostrum was also concealed by
the folds of large American flag. and
at the right end of the platform was an
artisticaily executed portrait of George
Washington, resting On an easel, and also
encrcIed with a flag of the nation.
The occasion was a presentation by the
District OF Columbia Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution to the Central
High School of an engraved copy of Gill
bert Stuarts portrait Of Washington. The
purpose of the organization in making the
present is to encourage patriotism in the
young. When the pupils of the school
marched into the hall shortly after l
o'clock. there were seated on the stage,
among others, Assistant Controller Chas.
Mansur, Gen. "A. w. Greedy, ex-District
Commissioner Douglass, Prof. w. ID. Ca
bell, President Davis of the Sons of the
American Revolution, John b. Wight, sec
rotary of the board of trade; Paul T.
Bowen of the board of school trustees,
Supervising Principals N. T. Gage and c.
S. Clark and c. NJ. Lacey Sites, principal
of the Eastern High School.
The exercises were opened with the sing
ing of MY Country, IT'S of Thee" by the
entire school, and at it's conclusion Prin-
cipal Lane introduced c. H. Mansur. Mr..
Mansur, after a few remarks, formally
presented the portrait to Principal Lane,
and added the hope that those who looked
at it would draw a double lesson from the
face Of Washington-that of liberty and
that Of fraternity.
Principal Lane made fitting reply and
thanked the society in the name of public
education and On behalf of the pupils Of
the school The next speaker was Gen. A.
w. Greedy. and his remarks were to the ef-
feet that patriotism stimulates the on
ward march of civilization. Mr.. John w.
Douglass spoke of the great services rem
dered by Washington as a soldier and as q
civilian. the Star Spangled Banner was
sung by the school and the exercises were
at an end.
Commemorate enthusiasm marked the oc-
casion, the speakers being frequently in
terrupted by unstinted applause. 1t is the
purpose of the society to make similar pre-
sensations in the near future to other
schools throughout the District.

An Interesting Exhibition In the
Gymnasium.

The exhibition at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymna-
SUM last evening was one of the best ever
held there. The opening event was a dumb
bell drill, participated in by the class, and
was followed by an exhibition on the
parallel bars, also by the class. An inter-
esting performance was the wrestling of
Drs. Jobson and Cockrilla, Jobson receiving
the first and third falls and the contest.
Harry Greene's pole vaulting was one of
the star features. He cleared feet 2 In.
Fred. Doyle showed the audience what he
knew OF tumblng and Harry Ward did
some good work on the wheel
Aiken took the place of Eaton in the
wrestling bout between himself and Nc
Chesney and neither one obtained a fall.
Joe Horans class filled two numbers on
the bill, horizontal bars and sprngboard
tumbling, and did themselves and their in
structor credit. Koran himself gave an
exhibition that has seldom been equaled in
this city and probably, only then by pro-
fessionals. VI
performance not previously arranged,
but much enjoyed was the wrestling con-
test of Willie Sims and Murdoch Sims
getting fall and winning over his larger
opponent. ne
