Bill to Regulate Their Issue.

Washington, March 1.-Senator
Platt of New York to-day introduced a
bill to regulate the issue of circulating
notes by state banks of deposit and
discount. The bill relieves such notes
from the tax imposed by section 3412 of

banks to deposit with the treasurer of
the United States the stocks or bonds
of any state, city or county in ex-
change for circulating notes to the eX-
tent of so per cent. of the value of the
deposits and 20 per cent. of the capital
stock of the bank. These securities
are to be held by the government in
trust for the redemption of the bank
circulating notes. Provision is made
for maintaining the character of the
securities and for winding up of the af-
fairs of the banks which fail.

SECURED THE JURY
For the Second Trial of the Action
of Selma CIewett.

The jury that will try the case of Selma
Clewett against the House of the Good Shep-
herd was secured yesterday.
Attorney Butts, for the plaintiff, insisted
that no Roman Catholic was qualified to sit
on the jury. The court overruled him. The
defense contended that 1t was not competent
to ask a prospective juror what religious
faith he subscribed to. The court also over
ruled this objection.
The jury was completed a few minutes be-
fore 8 p. M, and sworn in. 1t comprises the
following citizens:
George W: Dilley, NJ. j. Claus, A; B. Hen
derson, c. j. Greenleaf, Frederick Leer, An
ton Kasmirsky., August Eckman, John H.
Kartack, T. J. La Rogue, Charles Lehman,
Nicholas Koop, Charles Fansle.
The jury was selected out OF n teen drawn
from the box OF these nineteen four were
excused for cause, actual bias being shown.
The other three, John McEiver, c. D. Ken
nedy and Patrick Mccormick, were compelled
to step out of the box in obedience to the
peremptory challenges of Mr.. Butts. The de-
Tense did not use enc OF the three peremp, ory
challenges allowed each side.
The members of the panel, excused for
cause. were John W. Keith, F. G. Kemper,
Albert A. Gaheen and Edward L. Decker.
The time OF the court yesterday was chiefly
occupied by counsel in arguing objections to
questions regarding the tenets Of the Roman
Catholic religion.

upon four separate occasions.
George W. Dye Charles Dilley and George
Grandelmyer are the remaining indicted

All six of the prisoners were arraigned

A decision of interest to all those
who, at the time of the panic, were
creditors as well as debtors of the
banks that failed was filed yesterday
in the supreme court. 1t will be re-
membered that the court held that a
borrower having a deposit in the bank
was not entitled to offset the amount
of his deposit in paying his debt. The
court holds, however, that where he
has paid in the amount of his deposit
on his debt, he is entitled to share in
the distribution of the assets in the
hands of the receivers to the deposit
ing and other creditors. The syllabus
follows:

JURY ACQUITS HAMP.
No Misunderstanding Sequel to- the Re-
suit of the Trial.


After six hours deliberation, the jury in
the case of Robert Hamp returned, at 4:30
p. m. yesterday, verdict of not guilty.
Hamp tried on the charge of having
participated with G. R. Van Auken in the
crime of passing forged check for $500 on
the Germania bank. The check bore the gen
uine signature of Thuet Bros, but was filled
in by Van Auken to the amount of $500 and
negotiated by him, as he confessed.
After the announcement of the verdict
Judge Willis cautioned the jury not to in
dulge in the unseemly practice in a court
of justice Of permitting the defendant to
shake hands with them in expression of his
gratitude for their verdict. 1t was not the
function of the jury to do an accused per-
son favor. 1t was their duty to mete out
justice, and nothing but justice. The court
assured the jury that in the case at bar he
fully concurred with the verdict, and hoped
that the experience Mr.. Hamp had under
gone would prove solemn warning to him
to foreswear the life of dissipation upon
which he had started
AS W. w. Erwin, counsel for Hamp, was
leaving the court room, Stan Donnelly ap-
preached the Tall Pine and grasping him by
the hand, said:
LET me congratulate you, Mr.. Erwin, upon
the success you have won in trying your
first case

Wisconsin Central officials Deny
Any Arrangement With c. p. r..

A Chicago telegram says: The officials
of the Wisconsin Central deny that that rail-
road has made any arrangement with the
Canadian Pacific regarding the interchange
of passenger traffic at st. Paul. They de-
clare that the deal has never been contemplated
and that it has been set in circulation by
competitors of the road with the HOPE Of
destroying the cordial relations existing be-
tween the Wisconsin Central and the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific.
Herman Brown, the local passenger rep
resentative OF the Wisconsin Central, states
that there is no arrangement between his road
and the Canadian Pacific, any more than there
is with either the Northern Pacific or Great
Northern and that his line is receiving from
and giving business TO all three transconti-
mental lines in precisely the same manner.
