PARIS, Jan. 3.-The latest informa-
ton regarding the will of the late DIR.
Thomas w. Evans, the American den
fist, is that although it may be attack
ed, there is little chance to set it aside.
All the clauses are not known, but it
transpires that DIR. Evans remembered
all his relatives. He excluded from
inheritance John Evans and his heirs.
DIR. Evans left five-siXths of his fortune
to charities in Paris and elsewhere.

culation, while by the very process of their
issue bank notes alone can be automatically
adjusted to the changing transactions OF
the business community.
The Commissioners Plan.
In view of the scarcity of United States
bonds they cannot long be regarded as
basis for circulation. Moreover, any bond
security of a higher character yields a low
rate of interest; and in time of stringency,
when borrowers need loans and the mar
ket rate of interest is high, there is no
inducement to buy these bonds to increase
circulation. Hence, under the present sys-
tenn, when notes would be most needed,
it is least profitable to issue them. While
providing for a partial use of bonds for
securing notes (25 per cent Of the capitaD
the commission proposed that notes be-
yond this should be issued on all, instead OF
part of, the resources of bank; and after
ten years that no special bond security
should be required. Banks may issue notes
up to 60 per cent. of their capital without
restraint: for issues beyond GO per cent.
and up to so per cent. they pay a tax Of
two per cent; for those beyond so per cent.
and up to 100 per cent. they pay a tax Of
six per cent. These notes would be
prior lien upon all the resources of the
bank, and, in addition, upon the stock
holders liability. Moreover, all banks is
suing notes contribute five per cent of
their circulation as permanent guaranty
fund. For daily redemptions, banks should
keep a five per cent. redemption fund in the
hands of the comptroller of the currency.
Banks of $25, 900 capital may be established
in places of 1900 inhabitants: ana branches
of banks are also permitted.
Safe and Uniform Currency.
It is apparent that the security to the
noteholder under the proposed plan is
greater than usually supposed. If notes
should be issued by all national banks to
the amount of so per cent. Of their present
capital, the security in the form of total
assets (omitting consideration of stockhold-
ers' liability or a guaranty fund.- is more
than seven dollars to one dollar. In the
1926 banks outside the reserve cities, the
protection would be 500 to one dollar OF
notes. The greatest number of failures
of banks occurred in 1898; and yet the notes
of these failed banks which did not realize
at least so per cent of their capital out or
their resources formed only one-eighth OF
one per cent. of the proposed circulation
Had 50 per cent. of the capital OF all ma
tional banks been issued in notes upon the
nroDosed plan since the beginning of the
national banking system in 1863, an as
sessment upon the banks annually OF only
one-fortieth of one per cent. would nave
been necessary Moreover, instead OF
tax on circulation, a tax of one-elghth or
one per cent. on capital and surplus is pro-
posed to cover the expenses of the system.
Such a plan in general would furnish
safe. elastic, uniform and expanding cur
rencv based on a fixed and certain stand

New YORK, Jan. Six members of
one family were killed by flames and
smoke in fire that occurred early Sun
day morning in Jersey City. The dead
are:
Adolph Reich, AZ years old, the
father.
Emma Reich, 40 years old, mother.
Tillie Reich, % years old.
Ida Reich, Is years.
Albert Reich, IA years.
Gustav Reich, s years
Several others were injured and it
may be that another member of the
Inflated family will die. He is the 49,
year-old son and his body is covered
with burns.
John Conway, chief of the Jersey
City fire department, was very badly
burned. He fell through a burning
floor and was rescued with difficulty.
Henry Reich, II years old, managed
TO make his escape from the house,
with bad burns on the neck, face and
hands, but he is not seriously injured.
AdOlph Reich's home was at 81 Ger
mania avenue, near the Hudson county
boulevard, in the Hudson City dis
trict. He was real estate agent and
well to do, living in a pleasant house
of three stories.
1t is believed that fire broke out
from a heater in the basement, it
worked it's way up to the third floor,
where the sleeping apartments of the
family were located.
Henry Reich said it was when the
family retired, the evening having
been spent in entertaining New Years
callers. Early in the morning he was
awakened by shouts. Running into
the hall he saw the smoke and flames
in the lower hall. His father was
there and they managed to get out of
the house in their night clothes. Young
Reich ran down the street and gave the
alarm. When he returned his father
was nowhere to be seen, but one of his
brothers, SigiSmund, was there, badly
burned. He was taken to neighboring
house where he said that some one had
awakened him, and that he jumped
through the binding smoke and flames
down the stair case and out into the
open air.
several engine companies responded
promptly to the alarm and ten minutes
later the fire was out. Then began the
search of the house. The rays from
the fremen's lanterns disclosed three
charred bodies against the wall at the
foot of the stairs. They were those of
Adolph Reich, his daughter Title and
little Gustav. The father had fallen
upon the daughter and his son was in
his arms. They were burned almost
beyond recognition.
In the basement of the house the
searching party stumbled over the re-
maids of Ida and Albert, two blacken-
ed corpses, with arms entertained.
portions of the limbs had been entirely
burned away and the faces were horri-
bly, distorted.
The mother was found in the dining
room. She was but slightly burned.
Her face showed no look of pain. She
undoubtedly died from suffocation.
The bodies were sent to the mOrgue.
