ECKIEs HAS ANOTHER WORD
Banking System Needs Revision TO the very
Point of Renovation

Point of Renovation
Washington, Feb. 1.-Comptroller or
the Currency Eckles had second con-
ference with the house committee on
banking and currency today, which was
a continuance Of the meeting last Thurs
day. Mr.. Eckles expressed the opinion
that the only remedy for existing finan-
c;al troubles was complete revision OF
the banking system, which would
amour almost to a new system. Inc
discussion was an informal one. in Wnlcn
all the members Of the committee look
part. Mr.. Eckles thought that no more
gold for redemption purposes would De
needed under proper banking system
than now. The only use for metallic
money was for redemption purposes.
Representative Newlands of Nevada,
the principal representative of free sill
yer on the committee, asked many ques-
tons. In response to them, Mr.. Eckies
said that the countries which had best
developed systems OF credit were Eng
land, the United States, France ana
Germany. Banks did not need such
large reserves so much TO protect their
currency as to protect heir deposits.
Russia had been hindered in its en-
beavers to reach the gold standard, Mr..
Eckels said. by adverse business condi-
tons. and by heavier taxation on the
people The characteristics Of the Rus
sian people were such that more gold
would be required for redemption than
in countries where the people were more
used to banking methods.
Mr.. Eckels said France. and the Unit
ed States had at times had surplus OF
gold which was proven by the fact
that they had exchanged it for commo-
dfties.
This export Of gold from the United
States had not always been voluntary
and sometimes was detrimental. England
had been able to secure gold from
France when she needed it, and the
United States, France and England
could secure it from one another when
necessary. 1t was not necessary that
countries should always hold fixed guam
titles of gold.
Mr. Newlands asked:
as it not true, what Bismarck said,
that this gold blanket Is not large
enough to cover the world?"
Mr. Eckels replied:
sI do not think so and Bismarck has
less reputation as financier than other
statesmen who have risen to great prom
inence."
When a government was not able to
obtain all the gold 1t needed by ex-
change it could buy it from the mines
He continued that, in his opinion. the
apprecia ton in value Of gold would work
no harm, but he thought ii had not in
creased
In conclusion, Mr.. Eckels said that he
thought bimetallism practically impos-
sible and, If possible, that it would not
facilitate commercial exchange There
had never been a time when the two
metals circulated Independently OF each
other.

Hon. Henry Hail of Washington, D. c.,

PASSED IT PRETTY QUICK


Fifteen Minutes.
Guthrie, o. T.. Feb Especial 1.-The
council established new record this
morning for CELEBRITY in passing bin. 1t
was five minutes to IL o'clock when Mr.
DeBois Introduced c. B. No. Il, and ex-
actly ten miru.es later the bill had been
advanced through the various stages OF
passage and was ready for concurrence
by the house. With the exception of the
author there vas not a single member
who was acquainted with the provisions
of the bill beyond general idea that It
had something - do with staying the
payment CT taxes, and this fact alone
is sufficient cause for the ordinary Pop
legislator to shu. his eyes and take what
ever dose is prescribed. The public will
not rest any easier, however, under the
knowledge of such a hit-or-miss style of
legisla ton. II this particular instance
the bill simply proposes TO harmonic the
revenue laws TO the recent bill which
passed both houses RENTING penalties
on delinquent taxes until March; but II
was so wrapt up in technical verbiage
that it would be a very easy matter to
in1posa a sinister scheme upon a credu-
lous body of lawmakers.

TROUBLE AGAIN IN CRETE
| Sultan's Bloody Butchers are Given En-
pioyment Again,

London, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Times from Athens confirms the reports
of the conflicts between Christians and
Mohammedams in the Herakiion dis
trict of the Island of Crete, as cablsd 10
the Associated Press, Sunday night Adj
dltional advices received by the Times
are to the effect that the village of Ga
lata has been burned and that several of
the inhabitants have been killed. Both
soldiers, Christians as we'll as Moham-
medans, appear to have suffered from
these disorders. Among those known 10
have been murdered during the out
breaks in Markoulak is Cretan judge.
Yesterdays (Monday's) reports indi-
Gated that the Turkish troops are be-
having unusually well. Up TO the pres
ent time no news has been received of
their taking part in any of the Cretan
disorders. Armed bands of Musslmans
continue to roam over the island, how
ever, and the Christians have occupied
and fortified the important places from
q strategic and military point of view,
for the purpose Of preventing attacks
from the Mohammedans.
dispatch TO the Daily News from
Athens says that Crete is manifestly on
the verge of fresh instruction. Con-
slant firing can be heard at Canes,
where panic reigns supreme. The Mus
sulmans are reported to be preparing
for general assault, but they evidently
fear the approach Of bands of Christians
from outside the town.
Skirmishes in the plains In the vicin-
ity OF Canea occur constantly. but no
details have yet been received OF the
number killed and wounded.
