To Questions Concerning
Financial Plans
CONTRACTION OF CURRENCY
THE ONE THING TO BE GUARDED
AGAINST
Guarantee of the Government of Cir
culating Notes Means Immedi-
ate, Not Ultimate Payment
Associated Press Specia! Wire.

Associated Press Specia! Wire.
morning says:
The Boston Journal addressed to Sec
retary Gage letter embodying the fol-
lowing questions which cover the points
Of detail upon which doubt as to the sec
retary's exact contention in his plan
of currency reform has been expressed:
"First-You put no limit of time within
which the secretary of the treasury shall
substitute interest bearing bonds for de-
posit of currency. Would it not be fair
to make some limit and not allow the
banks to feel that you get the money in
and they get no interest except the saw
ing of one-half of one per cent tax?
"Second-When you say the govern
ment shall guarantee t1e payment of all
circulating notes of banks, do you mean
Immediate payment or only ultimate
payment? 1t would make quite a diff
ference in the treatment of the notes of
any bank whose credit became shaky,
which course the government was going
to take.
"Third-We have also heard it ques-
toned whether it was wise to invest the
two per cent guarantee fund held by the
government in bonds, as they might fiuc-
tuate in value, and it is suggested that it
might be safer to hold it in money.
"Fourth--Is the redemption fund of s
per cent to be counted by the banks as
part of their legal reserve?"
Coorotorx, r,, ro,,Itod.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IS.
II avail myself of the first leisure mo-
ment to reply to yours of the 18th inst,
in which you wish me to state more
clearly some of the points in my recon-
mendations. I will, therefore, say:
"First-That it is the purpose in mind
to substitute interest bearing bonds as
security for circulating notes, in SUBJ
stitution of currency previously deposit
ed, as rapidly as the printing bureau can
get them issued and in proper form. In
fact, the delay would be very brief
"Second-The idea of requiring a de-
posit of currency to begin with is to
make sure that there will be no contrac-
tion at all in this operation. Money will
go out as fast as it comes in. The guar
antee of the government understand to
mean guarantee for immediate pay
ment, not ultimate payment.
"Third-As to the investment of the
two per cent guarantee funds, if invest
ed in government bonds issued, the
fluctuations will not be violent unless
the debt hereafter should be greatly in
creased, and as the investment would
probably be a growing sum the risk of a
fall could be easily sustained by that
guarantee fund.
"Fourth-The redemption fund of five
per cent Il may conclude to recommend
ten per cent instead of five) is not to be
counted as part of the legal reserve
against deposits.
II feel much gratif1ed at the friendly
interest you take in the suggestions
made by me. do not know that they
are the best that could be made, but I
feel quite certain that if they could all
be adopted the government would find
itself as bank of issue (and that is what
it is and what it will be for some years
to Gomez, in an enormously better posi-
ton than it now is.
Very truly yours,

and Kip decided upon revenge. Last
night the Mongolian lay in wait for the

she passed at 1880 o'clock he darted out
from dark alley and hurled the missile
at the object Of his wrath. The stone
struck the girl upon the head and she
sank unconscious to, the ground.
She was found moment later and
word Of the vicious assault spread like
wildfire through the sacred precincts of
Chinatown. Impromptu searching par

secured by the excited Mongolians. Had
Wong Kip been found summary ven

him. Officer Phillips was notified of the

and body snatching are pastimes of
hoary age, but the industry of baby
borrowing for purposes of incubation is
absolutely new and up to date, and those
engaged in it seem to be doing a brisk
business in London. In fact, it has as
sumed such proportions that note of
warning to parents and guardians and
other custodians is sounded by the d-
rectors of the infant incubator at
Earlscourt, who state that in conse-

to cure this class of disease, when
not in too advanced stage, it can
not be better than any ordinary
shelter for ones affected thereby.
There are peculiarities of such
ailments which would make harm
full the placing of their subjects
within sight or sound Of other
sufferers. Upon good authority,
however, it may be said that pre-.
cautions to prevent infection, SO
far as that is concerned, are quite
feasible for obviating the neces.
sity Of segregation, as to detached
buildings, for consumptive pa
tients. There is reason to believe
that much exaggeration has char

consumption. If it were not 80,
there would be only preternstur-

race in most civilized countries
