Boston, January 2l.-The Massachusetts
Reform club listened to two interesting inter- sun
speeches tonight on ''the currency con m
dition Of the South . by Hon. John W.
Fries of North Carolina, and Hon. John
Moordeld Story, the president of the
club, presided. Mr.. Fries, who was
member of the monetary commission. re- ;.
ceived hearty welcome. He said thaU
in the last election the Republican or
sound money vote of North Carolina,
was thrown in the middle and west
parts of the state where are located tne
cotton industries. now con sidered TO pc
the greatest competitors of Massachu-
setts.
The silver men in the South are abso,
lutely sure of their position and felt that
that money if once brought into exis

ills.
Speaking of the work Of the monetary
commission, Mr.. Fries said that the gold
standard was found established not only

TATE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD.

Louisville, KY, January 21.-A de-
spatch from Frankfort, KY, says: James
". Tate, the defaulting ex-state treasurer
of Kentucky, who skipped leaving de-
felt of about $50, 900, eleven years ago, is
now legally dead, If not actually so;
There has always been great deal OF
mystery connected with Tato's disappear
ance and it has been claimed that he was
alive in some foreign country enjoying
the proceeds Of his i'll gotten wealth.
The law in kentucky is, however, that
after man has been missing for seven
years and nothing has been heard from
him during that time, he is legally dead
and it was under this statute that his
heirs recently brought suit against the
insurance companies to recover the insur-
ance upon his life. The insurance com
panies fought the cases bitterly until to-
day, when the attorneys for the Conneotl'
cut Mutual Life appeared in court and
paid over $4100 on the $4,000 policy which
Tate carried in their company. In so do
ing they virtually admitted the death OF
Tate. The other defendants it Is said will

CURRENCY COMMITTEES JOB.

Washington, January 21.-The commit
tee on banking and currency, having
concluded Its hearing on the question of
revising the currency will begin next
"Wednesday to consider the question of a
report on some of the numerous proposit-
ions submitted The members of the
committee differ as to the outlook for
affirmative action. some of those in lead
ing positions declare that the hearings
have demonstrated that it will be impos
sible to secure a majority for any one pro-
position. Others are more hopeful and
say that composite measure, embody1ng
the essential features of the Gage Dill,
is likely to command sufficient votes to
be reported. There is general agreement
that none of the bills before the COM
mittee will be reported in the present
form. There are II members of the COM
mittee, five of them Democrats. Mem
bers favorable to the monetary commas
sion bill say they hope to get seven
votes at the outset and later secure the
additional votes necessary. Some OF the
members counted in this seven say they
will not vote for the bill. The situation
within the committee is conceded to be
very complicated. In view OF this con-
dition a number of the members hope
to have the general question of currency
revision put aside for the present and
bill restricted to the three recon-
mendations of the President reported.
This also arouses counter objections SO
that there is little on which to base pre-
dictions of the outcome.

MOB RESCUED ONE OF THE
PRISONERS.

Yesterday afternoon the two special
officers at the Grand Trunk elevator, who
have been greatly troubled in the last few
weeks by crowd of young hoodlums,
who have been infesting this place, had
an exciting experience in arresting two of
the worst of the crowd. The boys were
engaged in sweeping up the loose grain
which was scattered about the elevator
and were in imminent danger of being
run over and badly injured. The two
specials succeeded in capturing the two
boys after long chase and started with
them for the patrol box. One of the
officers was set upon by crowd of loafers
who infest the corner Of India and Com
meroial street and an attempt was made
to Iiberate the boys by the mob. One of
the officers was struck by big fellow in
the crowd and letting go his hold on the
boy started off in pursuit of the man.
Some one tripped the officer up and he
fell on his face in the slush and water.
and before he could get the stuff out OF
his eyes both the boy and his assailant
had disappeared. The other officer sue
ceeded in taking his prisoner to the patrol
box and pulled in wagon call. The
youngster was taken to the police station
whore he gave his name as John M.
Mulkern. He will be arraigned this morn
ing in the Municipal court for lettering
about the Grand Trunk in violation OF
the city marshal's orders,
