so doubtful of the result that in

ECKELS CAIECHISED.
BEFORE THE BANKING AND
CURRENCY COMMITTEE.
Currency Should Be Uniform, and
All of It Issued Under Govern
ment Supervision-Not a Believer
In Divided Authority.

Washington, Feb. 18.-Comptroller
Eckels was before the house banking
and currency committee again today,
when the general banking bill intro
duced by Mr.. Fowler. ReD., N. j.,
was taken up.
Mr.. Fowler asked Mr.. Eckels if a
credit currency based on the assets of
banks was not the only correct form of
paper money.
Mr.. Eckels thought this a proper
form. The currency should be uniform
all of it being issued under govern
ment supervision. He thought the
benefits to be derived by the repeal of
the 10 per cent tax on state banks
to be greatly exaggerated by the sup
porters OF this proposition.
Mr.. Fowler asked if he thought that
all banks. under this bill. having power
to take out currency equal to bonds
held by them, with a low tax on their
circulation, and the right to issue
credit currency, would organize.
Mr.. Eckels reolied that ne could not
say. The banks would do what would
allow them to make the most money.
If they thought it would pay they
would take advantage of it.
Replying to a further question, he
said he thought it advisable to take
the financial question out of politics.
Mr.. Fowler asked if the witness did
not think that the supervision of our
great financial interests should be left
to a consulting board, rather than to
one individual.
Mr.. Eckels replied he had no objec-
ton 20 allowing the officer in charge
OF our finances to consult others, but
he was not great believer in divided
authority.

NEBRAsKA's SHORTAGE.
Holcomb's Recommendations Cause
a Sensation.

Lincoln. Neb.. Feb. 1S.-The immedi-
ate effect of the special message of
Governor Holcomb TO the legislature
yesterday asking for an investigation
of the state treasury, has been the
circulation of sensational rumors to-
day and tonight, of alleged heavy
shortages in the Office of ex-Treasurer
BARLEY and ex-AuditOr Moore One
report went so far tonight. as to say
that a warrant had been issued for
the arrest of ex-AuditOr Moore. but
If issued it had not been served at
late hour, and the report is not be-
lieved. In his message Governor HOl-
comb pointed out that over half a mil
lion dollars, or to be exact S537. .762, vet
remains to be accounted for by the ex-
treasurer. In subsequent state
ment. Mr.. Barley admits that the fig
ures of the governor are nearly correct,
but maintains that it is in no sense a
shortage
The shortage of ex-Auditor Moore,
which is acknowledged, amounts to
ssnething like $4,000. Mr.. Moore and
his bondsmen have been pressed for
Payment for several days. and legal
action may soon be taken. snd it is
possible that criminal prosecution may
be brought. through Attorney General
Smyth said nothing would be done i'm

Then began the Mussulman outrages in
Crete. Mr.. Norman details the money
and other sacrifices made Dy Ine king

Continuing, he says that Greece refuses

without replying to the FIRE He IS. how

adds that several thousand armed Volun-

FITS QUARTERS.
Julian Selects Cooks Ranch, Near
Carson-A Good place.

Carson, New, Feb. 49, l'tin Julian
yesterday selected quar-e for / t.
simmons. and though it mas not tf '-en
him long to come to a decision, his
choice is a wise one-probably the best
that could be made. The place is
known as Cooks ranch. II is a clear
ing covering several acres of land,
about three miles southeast of Carson,
and lies in little valley at the foot
of a spur of the mountains. The dwell
ing house contains eight comfortable
rooms and is surrounded by pretty
grove of trees.
About 80 yards from this building is
a pavilion 100 feet square. where Fitz-
simmons will DO most of his work. His
circular steel bag-punching apparatus
and other exercising gear are now in
Carson and was taken out to the ranch
by Julian today. There are several
good roads in the neighborhood of the
place, and on these the Australian
will do a great deal of leg work be-
fore the fight.
