PRESIDENT CARES FOR HIMSELF

Important Development.

Changes His Position Without Help One
Important Development.
The president will be taken direct te
Washington as soon as il is safe 10
move him. Within the sick room many
evidences of the presidents improve
ment were apparent. The president
himself began TO show confidence in
his ability to care for himself, and
from time to time he would carefully
turn himself to get 4 more restful posi-
tion. Monday he took the precaution
To ask if he might he permitted to
move. but yesterday he changed his
position on his own vOlitiOn. without
difficulty The nurses naturally OBJ
served these evidences of growing
strength and courage. and were ready
to see that there was no undue tax on
the presidents strength or the strain
ing of the wound.
a most important development Of
yesterday was the private determina-
Htion reached among those i'm charge OF
the case that food should be admin
iistered to the patient today by the
mouth. Not since the shooting has 4
morsel of food been given to the pres
ident by natural means, but the drain
on his system has been met by dis
solved foods administered by injection.
l.
uouth Is that It will restore the nor
NAL action of the stomach for the first
time since that organ had both its
walls pierced by a bullet. The doctors
are satisfied that the time has come
to renew these normal functions. and
the four days which have elapsed since
the wounds in the stomach were closed
give every assurance that the sutureS
are sufficiently healed to allow nature
to resume her sway.
The dramatic phase of the situation
here is rapidly disappearing. Plans
overthrown by the assassin's bullet are
being restored and matters are rapidly
assuming normal conditions. Indiana

of this week, was indefinitely post

CREATES A DIVERSION ALSO
That VIII Put an Extra So 100000 Into
Circulation Through the Banks,


Following the issuance of this cir
cular Secretary Gage took steps cal
culated to divert about $5.OO0,OOO of
internal revenue receipts from the
treasury to the banks. In a telegram
sent to F. d. Tappen, chairman OF the
New York Clearing House association.
he SAYS: Recognizing the unavoid-
able influence upon general business
affairs of continued absorption into
the public treasury of revenue beyond
expenditure. l have directed that in
coming internal revenue receipts be
placed with national bank repositories
until a balance with each is reached
equal to the par value of the bonds
held as security from such repositories.
This will divert about $5,00O,0OO from
the treasury vaults.
"The secretary will today invite
proposals for the sale to the govern
ment of $200O0.000 of United States
bonds other than the new Is. 1t is
believed that these steps will obviate
the otherwise possible emparrassments
which are pointed out in your telegram
of yesterday"
Commenting upon the offer made in
his circular Secretary Gage said that
the active movement of crops had be-
gun throughout the country, and he
did not desire that the treasury should
absorb millions of dollars that might
be in trade channels. The sub-treaS-
uries in the west and south have been
calling heavily for currency to move
the crops, and the amount sent so far
is in excess of any year in the history
or the treasury. The placing of addi-
tional money with the national bank
depOsitories will divert about $4,000
oO0O from treasury vaults and put it
into circulation. At the same time the
purchase of $20.OOO.00O in bonds would
be Il decided relief.
The only question now is whether
the offers to the secretary will be such
as to induce him to purchase the
amount he desires. or any sum at all.
The tendency in offers of this kind is
to cause the prices of bonds to rise.
Secretary Gage does not intend to pay
above what the bonds are worth. and
will make no purchases If the offers
indicate that the market prices are to
be raised. Last April Secretary Gage
made an offer to purchase bonds to re-
Heve the constantly increasing addi-
tion to the cash balance of the treas
ury. but he fixed prices at which the
government would buy. These prices
have governed the purchases or all
bonds to this time.
The price limit is now removed fol
the first time and offers are asked for,
with the supposition that the prices
will be such as will permit the secre-
tary to invest a number of millions OF
the treasury surplus in n short time.
Since the offer of the secretary last
April the treasury has purchased to-
tai of about $2O,O0O. 900 in bonds. and
these have gone into the sinking fund,
thereby decreasing the interest pay
ment of the government. The pur-
chases have been made slowly, some
times n few thousands or one day, and
on other days reaching into the hun
dreds of thousands.
