TIE NEW CURRENCY BILL.
Controller Dawes Denies the Absurd
Statements Made in Regard
To It.

NEW YORK. March A special TO
the Times from Washington. says:
Controller OF the Currency Dawes is
overwhelmed with assertions and in
quiries touching the operation of the
currency bill, about to become a law.
All sorts of notions are entertained by
those who have undertaken to inter-
oept 1t, and recently the controllers
attention was directed to a press re-
port published in several papers to
this effect:
II is estimated that any one with
$4,000 capital can start national bank.
under the new system All that is re-
quired is $4,000 in per cent govern
ment bonds which could be secured at
ruling rates for s2s.75O. These. repre-
senting the capital OF the bank could
be sent to Washington and eircula-
ion for the full amount Of the capital
Immediately taken out The organizer
Of the bank then has only $3.50 tied
up in the enterprise, but could take
deposits in the regular way,
That report has gained so much
publicity" said Controller Dawes,
that it seems to me it ought to be
corrected as soon as possible. The re-
port is fallacious The new law re-
garding circulation would not make it
easier to drive the authorities into al
lowing the bank to do business with no
capital. While it is true that the or
ganizers Of a national bank can secure
in circulation the par of the bonds de-
posted by them as security therefor,
less the five per cent redemption fund, |,
il this currency was used to pay of
the cost of the bonds, it could not. Of
course. be used as capital for the bank.
Where money has been borrowed to
purchase the bonds deposited as secur-
ity for circulation the bank notes is
sued against them might be used TO
pay a portion of the debt. But this
operation does not affect OF lessen the
necessity OF the bank having $25.0OO in
unimpaired cash capital, irrespective of
the currency and pond transaction.
The assumption is that the s25,OOO re-
ceived from the government upon the
deposit of the amount of the bonds as
security could be used both TO pay the
debt assumed in the purchase of the
bonds as well as for the working cap
ital of the bank in addition which is,
of course. impossible"

CHICAGO, March 9.-A special to the
Record from Austin, Tex. says;
A desperate riot which came near
resulting in the lyhching OF several bull
fighters, took place at San Luis Potosi.
Mexico The affair is described in a
letter received today as follows:
THE bull light on Sunday afternoon,
under the leadership OF Jose Marrero.

proved a failure. Five arrogant md val
liant bulls had been promised. The first
bull led out put up a little show of re-
sistance and was killed, but not one
OF the others would fight at all. The
audience began to hiss and groan and
threw oranges, lemons and stones into
the ring. Finally the disappointed au-
dience tossed the chairs, benches and
hand railings into the ring and then
set fire to the pile. This stopped the
performance. But even this exhibition
of ire did not satisfy the belligerents.

cIrIzENs AGAINST POLICE.
Struggle for Possession of a Fiend in
Marion. Indiana.

CHICAGO. March "A special to the
Record from Marion, Ind, says:
A mob Of enraged citizens surround
the Jail here and threats Of lynching
a prisoner are freely made.
Mrs. Henry Wise, wife Of promi-
nent farmer living six miles south Of
Marion, was attacked by tramp yes
terday afternoon while her husband
was absent in the field. Mrs. Wise was
engaged in busting furniture with a
towel when the man came into the
room. He seized the towel. bound her
hands behind her back, administered
chloroform and left her lying uncon-
scious where she was found by her lit
tie daughter when the latter returned
from school The girl notified her faith
er and he hurriedly summoned two
physicians who. after working nearly
all night, succeeded in reviving the
woman.
A posse of neighbors and the Gas
City police started in pursuit Of the
tramp, capturing him at Upland, about
four miles east Of the Wise farm. They
returned to the farm with him. but
Mrs. Wise was unconscious and he was
placed in jail. He was taken before
her today and identified as her assail-
ant. He acknowledged being at the
house but denied attacking Mrs. Wise
After Mrs. Wise had identified him the
anger Of the neighbors became intense
and the Gas City officers sent for the
Jonesboro police and the sheriff and
deputies at Marion. as they feared mob
violence. The sheriff and posse went
to the scene and conducted the prison
er to Gas City, where they intended to
board a street car and bring the pris-
oner to Marion and place him in Jail.
While waiting for the car the mob
made two attempts 10 lynch the pris-
oner but were dispersed each time at
the point Of revolvers by the sheriff
and his deputies.
The officers finally succeeded in
reaching Marion with the man and
placed him in jail. The mob does not
seem to be well organized and 1t has
not attempted to storm the Jail. The
man gave the name of Fred bunker Of |
Quebec, Que. He says he was born in |
France and is As years of age. He is
much frightened and fears tho r,oh will /
lynch him.

ANOTHER FuEp THREATENED.
Renewal of Hostilities Probable In the
Tonto Basin Country.

PRESCOTT. AriE., March 9.-Partias
who arrived IN Prescott yesterday from
the Tonto Basin country state that an
other war Is threatened there similar
TO that Of 1887 and 1855. when forty
people were killed in what was known
as the Tewksbury- Graham feud. While
not to exceed half dozen men Of those
cngaged in the above feud are alive to-
day. the causes which brought Il about
still exist and new men seem willing To
fight on the same old lines. The trou
Bile is between the cattle men and the
sheep men. Large herds Of sheep from
Northern Arizona are driven south for
the winter. returning TO their nol thern
grazing grounds again in the spring,
and one OF the favorite routes Is via
Tonto Basin. which is usually well
vatered and qbounds in good grass.
The drouth OF the past year has
caused shortage OF both and cattle
men served notice on the sheep men
that ON account OF the conditions they
would no, be permitted to return north
by this route this spring. The latter
sent back word that they We're going
through Tonto Basin II they had to
fight their way. The advance guard
Of the returning flooks were met by

THEAT'ER FRANCHISE FIRE.
Worlds Finest Art Collection Totally
Destroyed.

NEW YORK, March 9--The Tribune
Paris correspondent, describing the
Theater Francois fire, says:
Most of the works Of art perished.
1t was not generally known that the
gallery Of pictures and statuary Of the
Comedie Francois was unquestionably
the finest museum Of dramatic authors
and artists in existence. The famous
gallery of busts of all eminent actors
and actresses, who in the past have
honored the Theater Francais, is now
lost. A large portrait of Rachael. by
Gerone, is burned So also are the
famous portraits Of Mile Clarion, as
Media, of David Garrick, Of Mile. Mars
and of Adrienne Lecouvreur. The por-
trait of Moliere breakfasting with
Louis XIV is destroyed TWO of the
best works of Houdon, the bust of
Moliera and the life like seated statue
Of Voltaire, the bust of Jean Jacques
Rosseau. by Cafieri, the sitting statue
Of George Sand, the superb mead Of
Dumas, the elder, with the negro
blood fully apparent in his thick lips;
Carpaux's bust Of Dumas fils and the
statue of Talma are also destroyed or
badly damaged. A like fate has befal-
len the superb statutes Of Mile. Mars,
as comedy and of Mile. Rachael as
tragedy.
Perhaps sadder still to relate is the
terrible havoc made by the flames in
the archives and library containing in
valuable theatrical records Of the last
2O0 years and the registrators wherein
were noted day by day incident Of the
Theater Francois, the receptions, cast
and success Of each new play; the reg
