BANKING AND CURRENCY
Eckles Appears Before the Committee and
Gives His Views.

Washington. JAN 28.-Comptroller Ec-
kles of the treasury department, today
gave his views upon the financial condl-
ton of the country to the house commit
Zee on banking and currency. Several
bills introduced by members OF the
house bad been referred to Mr.. Eckles
for his judgment and besides giving his
views on the money question in general,
he analysed those.
While there was no doubt Of the neces-
sity for changes in the government finan
cial system, Mr.. Eckles said the public
was disposed to attribute too much Of
the existing troubles to the lack of mon
etary legislation. Over trade, over pro-
juction and extravaganza in private and
public expenditures. partially induced

most desirable policy, whether it was

So far as the contraction Of the cur

reasonably stable Banks would supply
the needed currency or gold would come
from abroad. The pursuance of Score

ed: Any business man who constantly
ra1eems his rotes without retiring them
and keeGs them out constantly will come
TO a setting day that will break him up.

be 10 take from the government the IS

quate seating capacity OF the hall, and
this in the lace of the fact that first

ing here all last week TO good houses.
The enterta nment furnished showed
that the people knew what to expect.
For comedy and specialties the enter
tainment is up 20 date The aud
fence was kept in constant laugh
ter nearly all the time. there being only
plot enough TO the play 20 make the
funny parts all the more effective. 1t was
vaudeville and drama pure and simple
and il caught the audience.
Tom Marks, whoplayed the part oil the
Irish detective, is a whole show in himself
and bis makeup and wittclsms would be
well worth the admission price. The other
members OF the company were good, es-
pecially Suffering Jimmie Field and May
Bell. The specialties by the children
were wonderful and brought down the
house.
One thing about the entertainment
that is especially worthy of comment is
the fact that it is continuous perform
ance and the moment the curtain drops
the specialties between the acts are
and there ia no wait be-
tween acts. The combination will re-
main here all this week and next and the
management promises excellent enter
