circulation of all the banks of the United
Kingdom is not. larger now than from 1890
to 1875; yet the population has nearly
doubled. meanwhile, and the

from one hundred millions sterling to five

There is, however, nothing inexplicable
in all this. when we take into considera-
ton the very great changes that have taken
place in the circumstances under which the
business of the world Is transacted, as COM

out tina true and safe elasticity lies in this
device and the quick transmission of
money and credits. He showed that an
extension of the amount of currency would
not necessarily affect much relief in time
of stringency when, no matter how much
money there is. it is boarded and kept out
of circulation, owing to lack of confidence.
He doubted if the bankers would undertake
to redeem the notes of insolvent banks.
The Carlisle bill had this provision, but 1t
was omitted In the substitute bill. A change
from the governments guarantee to that
of the banks, he said, might cause still
greater distrust. In closing, he said:
There can be no experiment in finance
without disaster, and whatever the amend
ments or alterations in the present law,
they should not be made until it is known
that they will not alarm other nations as
we'll as our own
J.. c. Dunn and other members discussed
the plan m ueously. The sentiment
of the club was strongly against the ex-
pediency and wisdom of the bill.

that the ground formerly used as the old

HISTORY OF THE CURRENCY.

The discussion was continued by Mr.. Ar

OF the present circulation OF the United

which the various forms OF currency were

of elasticity. 1t seems to be taken for

ton. They did so, as follows, and were
sworn: R. McElroy, w. F. Brown, Joseph
Rosenburg, G. w. Wright, G. A. Maschio,
L. A. Rea and D. Haskell.
District Attorney Barnes repeated his
opening statement of the case and Robert
H. Hockstadter OF 1912 Van Ness avenue
was asked concerning his qualifications to
act as a Juror. He had no particular
scruples against the infliction of the death
penalty, but stated that he would not join
in verdict where the penalty was death
upon cIrcumstantial evidence. He was
challenged by the people and excused.
r. McElroy of Haight and Buchanan
streets had scruples against the convic-
ton of man on circumstantial evidence.

He was excused on the challenge of the
prosecution.
Walter S. Brown, doing business at 535
Market street as a silk, cotton and linen
thread merchant, residing at 426 Ellis, was
next examined. He stated that he had no
CONSCIENTIOUS scruples against the int1ic-

and, also, that he would consider circum-

to which il was entitled.

MR.. CLARK MISTAKEN.
His Wife Says He Has Written to
That Effect

Earl FL. Webb, an attorney in the Mills
building, has made statement to Captain
Lees, chief of detectives, which is inter
esting, if not conclusive, in regard to
Charles HI. Clark, the absent new witness
for Durrant. According to statement
furnished by Captain Lees, Mr.. Webb ex-
plains that Mrs. Clark and brother, Mr..
Cousins, came to his office and asked him
what was best to be done to have the pub
lication of newspaper items concerning
her husband stopped.
81 asked her." said Mr.. Webb, "what
her husband knew that was material to
the Durrant case. She said that the only
point of which she knew was that it
seemed that Mr.. Clark imagined that
about April 3, or within few days OF that
date, he was riding on Powell-street car
one afternoon and saw young man and a
young woman sitting together, and that
when the time came to transfer to
the Valencia-street car, the young man
left her, raising his hat and saying Good
day, Miss lamont that Mr.. Clark be-
heved Durrant was innocent and immedi-

nesses here in court and by the 1nstruc-
uons OF the court and follow the law as
given by the court and the facts and cir
cumstances?"
81 would"
Mr.. Ackerman was passed by the de-
tense, and it began to look very much as
though he would be accepted as Juror.
Charles P. Nathan, a merchant residing
at 1917 Van Ness avenue, was the next
venireman examined. He developed no
CONSCIENTIOUS scruples against the lnf1lc-
ton OF the death penalty and was not
prejudiced against circumstantlal evidence
as class of evidence. He had no acqualnt-
ance with the defendant or any. OF the
other persons connected with the defense,
He was passed by the prosecution.
10 Mr.. Deuprey he stated that he was
acquainted with no members OF the police
or detective departments, and knew no
one in the District Attorneys office.
Have you read the purported evidence
as given before the Coroner's jury and the
committing magistrate?'
81 must have read part of it.
"What you did read did you take to be
true?"
"What I read in the newspapers, l do
not take to be true always. take 1t with
many grains of allowance"
"You have no bias against circumstan-
tial evidence?"
81 have not"
"Do you believe that it is that character
of evidence that should be accepted with
the utmost caution 2"
Eyes. sir.''
'And that the evidence in relation to
identification is of like character?"
Eyes, SIR"

these circumstances pointed to the one
charged, and to no one else."
"And that" continued Mr.. Deuprey, ''if
there was any reasonable hypothesis upon
which you could assume from the evidence
that there was any one else who had any
thing to do with the matter, or who could
be properly charged. you would consider
the proof had failed as to the one charged
and acquit him ?"
"Yes, sir"
'sWhat is your idea in regard TO the evil
dence in relation to Identification? Would
you require that it be of the most positive
nature to satisfy your mind, recognizing
the liability of most serious mistakes IN
that regard ?"
YES sir"
The venireman stated that he had
formed no opinion on the case and would
be bound solely by the evidence and
guided by the instructions of the court.
In reply to further questions Mr.. Wright
stated that he was member of the jury
which had convicted Mrs. Jane Shattuck
for the murder of young Harry Poole.
He was passed and G. A. Maschio wood
and coal dealer at 1908 Church street, was
called. He stated that he would not find
a verdict of guilty in a case where the
death penalty would follow on circum-
the State for cause and excused.
L. A. Rea, dealer in paints and oils at
1918 Stockton street, stated that he had no
conscientious scruples against the lnttlc-
ton of the death penalty, but he certainly
could not join in a verdict in a capital case
where the evidence was purely circum-
stantial. He was challenged by the State
and excused.

ately went to Mr.. Deuprey's Office and told
him what he knew of that circumstance.
In the meantime" continued Mr.. Webb,
'as Mrs. Clark stated it, Mr.. Clark 5
mother, Mrs. Mylrea, died, leaving some
money to him, and he went East in his
own business interests.
'After this statement by Mrs. Clark we
sent a telegram to her husband, asking
him to send me a concise statement of the
affair, and that if he had any material tes-
timony, to send it to me. Mrs. Clark also
wrote to her husband in regard to the
newspaper articles, and she told him that
he had made mistake in the time. She
can account for every moment of his time
on the Sd of April. To-day she received a
letter from Mr.. Clark, part of which she
read to me. 1t read:
But why do you worry? Now, do not do so
any longer. / have written to Mr.. Deuprey
and told him that it was some other day
than the Sd of April, and am sure he will not
want me under those circumstances.
SIN explaining to me the reason why Mr.
Clark must have been mistaken, Mrs.
Clark continued:
Mrs. Mylrea, Mr. Clark's mother, was suffer-
ing from cancer. and she went to boarding
house, corner of Hyde and Eddy streets, the
last day of March, a Sunday. We spent the
whole of Monday and Tuesday with her. On
Wednesday morning Mr.. Clark and / left our
house after breakfast and went to Mr.. Clark's
mothers. remained there with my husband
until after lunch, and then his sister and /
went shopping. He staid and attended to his
sick mother and, to the best of my knowledge,
he was with her the whole afternoon, and then
Mr.. Clark and l went home. This was on
Wednesday, April 3. 1 have written Mr.. Clark
telling him of his mistake. think he has made
a mistake of one week.
Eugene Deuprey of counsel for Durrant
stated last night that he had received no
such letter as the one mentioned in the
missive, which Mr.. Webb says Mrs. Clark
states she has received from her husband.
II do not believe he has sent any such
letter." said Mr.. Deuprey.
