AMERICAN ECONOMIST
Subject of Investments is Discussed by the
Professors

Baltimore. Dec. 30-The American
Economic association this morning took
up the subject Of investments, ex-Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Charles S. Fair
Child leading the discussion. Mr.. Fair
child quoted statistics showing the
amount Of money held by the savings
Institutions and called attention to the
fact that in periods of depressions and
panics the withdrawal of this money
from the banks was a menace TO the
business community. He thought, there
fore, that greater permanency should be
given TO investments Of savings and as
serted that, in his opinion, building asso-
Citations permitted the withdrawal of
moneys invested with them upon too
short notice from the investors.
Professor Giddings, of Columbia, gave
1t as his belief that the growing hostility
to the class usually known as capital
lists was perilous to the business CON-
munity and TO the government itself.
The session was resumed after p. M,
the subject under discussion being THE
Duty of the Government Toward the In
weston.
The discussion was led by Professor
Arthur T. Hadley of Yale. Professor
Hadley was followed by Skipwith Will
sner, Esq, of Baltimore, President W. w.
Follwell and others, who discussed the
several theses in a general way.

MARSHAL STOWE TALKS.
He Tells the DenIseR Herald That In IHIs
Opinion the DenIsOn and Northern
VIII be Built.

United States Marshal Chas. Stowe
is in the city today. He was recently
returned from Dougherty, where
work on the Denison and Northern
is in progress. In regard to that
line Mr.. Stowe said to a Herald
reporter:
Il was in Dougherty a few days
ago and there was as much evidence
of railroad building as you ever see
anywhere. Tents are scattered all
over the country and about 100 men
and teams are at work grading and
pushing the work. There is a little
dispute as to the rights of the parties
interested in the line. One party
know as Chapman party and an
other known as the Brown party are
conte ting the rights of the title, and
a receiver, Judge Moran Scott, has
been agreed on to take the property
in hand until the court decides who
is entitled to the charter. Judge
Kilgore at Ardmore has the case
under advisement now, and will
render decision in few days, and
then the work will be pushed to
completion. We have not the least
doubt up in our country but that the
road will be built through this year,
but whether or not it will reach
Denison we do not know. The right
of way is cleared for a long distance,
and considerable grading has been
done, and both of the parties con-
testing for the property claim that
they have ample means to push the
enterprise through.

have argued the case before Judge
Kilgore and his decision will remove
all barriers to the PROCESS of the
work. ."-DenisOn Herald
