GOLD CERTIFICATES.
How They Operate to DepIete the
Treasury Reserve Fund.


Treasury Reserve Fund.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.--The bill intro
duced by Mr.. Coombs to retire gold certi-
ficates recalls a statement made by Secre-
tary Carlisle before the committee on APP
populations In reply to questions by Mr..
Coombs at the recent hearing Secretary
Carlisle said that if no gold certificates
were issued most of the gold represented by
them would, in his opinion, be in the treas
ury
IL the holders of gold coin would not put
1t in the treasury and use that institution
Substantially a. warehouse" he SAID,
taking out the paper representative of it,
the gold itself would come in and stay there.
The banks and other institutions do not
like to hold gold coin, as it does not cir
culate from hand to hand among the people.
The gold certifics ties do, and as that is the
most important form in which they can put
their gold for circulation, We simply take
care of the coin for them. The gold coin
must be preserved and stored in some way
ana as 1t IS done at considerable risk, people
VIII not hold it as they will certificates, for
If the certificate is defaced or mutiiated
they can get another"
When Mr.; Dockery inquired if the repeal
law authorizing gold certificates would not
improve the condition of the treasury the
SCI rotary said that it would. He could not
tell how far it would go toward relieving the
situation, he continued, because there was
no way to recall the outstanding notes The
treasury was not issuing any more because
the act authorizing them provided that their
issue should cease when the gold reserve
was reduced to 500 ZOO, coo. In order to be
on the safe side he had ceased their issue
wnen the reserve touched $102, 100000 and
only resumed it temporarily at the last
issue of bonds. On taking char~a of the
treasury he had found $1,000, 900 in gold GER
tificates carried part of the assets there
at.d had Cancelled them and liberated the
gold behind them. Certificates were being
Cancelled whenever brought in and none
was being issued to replace them Few
were being received for custom duties and
the secretary was convinced that they were
being boarded
Assistant Secretary Curtis said to-day that
the question of Offering gold bars to export
ers at price which would cover the ex-
pense of making the bars and of transporta-
ton to New York added. had been talked
over informally, but nothing definite had
been decided upon. The treasury still had
on hand nearly $220o0,o00 in free gold coin
and over S4S,O00.0O0 in free gold bars. OF
these bars about 1928. 600 was in the Phil
adelphia mint and was being coined as rap
idly as possible 1t Is not thought at the
treasury that the demand for export will
amount to anything like the free coin on
hand and. consequently, the government is
not disposed to offer any inducements for
the shipment of bars.

A Tribute to Captain Shines.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Andrew Crawford,
the principal owner of the Chicora, said,
this afternoon: There was no insurance,
and the loss to the company will be about
$175,000; but our greatest regret is the loss
of life 1t is dreadful to think that so many
lives have been lost. Captain Shines was
a particularly fine fellow, able and .courte-
Gus. / knew him well. He had been with
knew the lakes as well as any captain in
the service. / do not blame him for the
wreck of the Chicora, and yet it seems as
though if he had studied his barometer
Monday morning he would have known the
storm was coming. The storm signals,
however, / have learned were not displayed
in Milwaukee for three hours after the boat
struck the boat about o'clock. If Capt.
Shines had put into port or turned back
all would have been well, but suppose ne
thought it would blow over and kept on.
1 calculate the Chicora must have been
within ten or twelve miles of ST. Joseph
when she was caught in the ice. What hap
pened then will. probably never be known.
However, it is easy to say what might have
been. That Captain Shines did his duty
and guided his boat to the best of his
knowledge, have not the slightest doubt.
The second mate, Bonnie Shines, was
only son of the captain. MIS-. Shines is
left alone at the family home at st. Jo-
seph.'
x peculiar circumstance in connection
with Boswell J. Pearls connection with the
disaster Is that Captain Shines once saved
the lives of Mr.. Pearl and his father. Four
years ago they attempted to cross the lake
in small yacht from ST. Joseph to Chi
cago. In the middle of Lake Michigan the
boat capSiZed throwing both occupants into
the water. After floating around for nearly

cued the men from their perilous position.

To Punish Wire Tapping.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The recent ex-
traordinary exposures made in Chicago re-
garding the stealings from the Associat led
Press by means of wire tapping has 1e-
suited in a movement to prevent thefts of
news in the future by this means. A bill
has been introduced by Senator Chandler
of New Hampshire which has been referred
to the committee on interstate commerce.
AS the telegraph lines which are used by
the Associated Press are interstate lines,
they come within the same control and pro-
lection as interstate railroads. The bill in
troduced by Mr.. Chandler is as follows:
ANY person who shall vrongfully zap or
connect a wire with the telegraph or iele-
phone wires of any person, company or as
sociation engaged in the transmission of
news over telegraph telephone wires be-
tween the States for the purpose of wrong
fully taking or making use OF the news dis
patches of such person, company or asso-
citation or it's customers, shall be deem ed
guilty of a misdemeanor and, on conviction
shall be punished by fine of not more than
$1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding two
years, or by both such fine and imDrison-

Experiments with Explosive Shells.

WASHINGTON Jan. A-Following the
warning conveyed by the Yalu fight, the
ordnance bureau of the navy has been max
ing some interesting experiments at Indian
Head to determine the effect of combustible
fittings and fabrics of different kinds of
explosive shells. Two four-inch shells of
the United States Projectile Company were
exploded in a chamber ten feet square COW
cred with two-inch plates and containing
cotton sheeting. One shell loaded with gum
powder wrecked the chamber, setting fire
TO the sheeting. The second shell loaded
with guncotton and IA three-ounce detonator,
did not wreck the chamber so much,
although it much more violent. The
projectile broke into small pieces but not
as much damage was done and the sheet
ing not set fire. The experiments
will be continued with other explosives

Filed Two Mortgages.

Bay City, Mich, November 13.-Estey &
Calkins, of OwOssO, who recently built
planning and saw mill in this city, after
having been burned out at Plnconning, filed
two chattel mortgages this afternoon, the
first at 3 o'clock and the second ten minutes
later. The first runs to Daniel Calkins, OF
Clayton township, and is for $4,000 The
second is to William NJ. Fitzpatrick, of
Ow0ssO, as trustee. 1t is for $50, 9,907.67,
divided among creditors as follows: OwOS-
so Savings Bank, of Owosso $22, 500; VIM.
M. Fitzpatrick. Owosso, SIS, 900; Union Trust
and Savings Bank of Flint, $9,225; Henry
M. Campbell, $4,000; G. e. Rigley, Owosso,
$4,000; Kalamazoo Savings Bank, $l,932,-
81; State Savings Bank, Detroit, $4,000;
First National Bank, COrunna, 81, 45O. The
property covered by these mortgages is all
the lumber in the retail yard corner of
Twenty-sixth and Mccormick streets; all
manufactured stock in storage shed and
lumber in dry kilns at the planning mill of
Estey 81 Calkins; all lumber on Campbell
Co.'S docks; all the logs in the boom and
lumber on the dock at the Kern manufact-
uring Cos mill; all lumber and shingles on
the Michigan Central at EsteY, Gladwin
Co.; all salt in storage bins and tools for
lifting and handling salt, in this city. Estey
& Calkins are about ready to begin work on
the second portion Of their new planning
mill. The mortgages, 1t is said, will not
interrupt their business.
Relative to the above Mr.. ID. M. Estey
furnishes the following statement for pub
lication:
"The occasion of our failure was brought
about by being compelled to pay between
$15, 900 and $40, 900 Of other peoples paper.
largely on John divers, and having two
fires since the depression, at Pnconning,
which completely destroyed our extensive
saw mill and maple flooring factory; the last
fire being the first day OF May, 1895. We
sustained loss from these two fires of
something like $4,000 Through the kind
ly assistance OF business men OF Bay City
we were induced To build one of the best
maple flooring plants in the state in South
Bay City, on what was>known as the Nc
Lean site, which we had just got nicely
started and had run about two weeks. Very
unexpected to us, the old Second National
Bank, of Bay City, about as we got ready to
turn our stock, which had laid idle since
last May, into money to pay our indebted
ness, demanded large payment on the ac-
commodation they had kindly extended to
us, and security on the balance. These de-
mands were beyond our ability to pay and
we felt 1t for the best interest of all our cred
itors to turn the property over to them. We
expect to pay all our obligations. The fall
ure will not effect the Estey Manufacturing
Company, of this city. The Owosso Sayings
Bank is amply secured for all advances
made"
