STRENGTHEN THE TREASURY.
A scheme to Replace Greenbacks With
Gold Certificates.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Representative
Fowler, who will be chairman of the
banking and currency committee of the
next House, will make an effort to use
the surplus to retire large block of
the greenbacks
He would either cancel $50, 900, 5000
or 500, 900, 900 outright without re-
placing the notes with any other class
of money or he would take from the
available cash about $l00,000,0 900 in
gold, which he believes could be spared.
place that amount in the reserve fund
of the treasury and then, as like
amount of United States notes came in,
cancel them and issue gold certificates
against the additional gold placed in
the reserve fund.
The reserve fund is now $3.50, 1000, 900
and the addition of 100000, 900 to the
fund would put the figure at $3.50, 00O,-
600. Mr.. Fowler would follow this
policy until the treasury contained
nothing but gold or its representative
in the treasury, removing the danger
that confronts the country in case of
panics.

OKLAHOMA CRIMINAL CODE.
Territorial Supreme Court Decides
That It Is Valid.
FURTHER APPEAL PROPOSED.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct 12.-Thomas p.
Queenen, the wife murderer of O1laho-
ma City, is under sentence to hang and
his appeal to the supreme court did
him little good for the decision in the
matter is that Queenan must hang.
His attorneys state that they will take
the matter to the United States SUI
preme court and to President Roosevelt,
if necessary.
In the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Queenan's attorneys, it is
stated that the Oklahoma criminal code
was never signed, and that all of the
criminals now in the Kansas peniten-
tiary at Lansing from Oklahoma, are
illegally restrained from their liberty
and that the conviction and confine-
ment of Queenan is contrary to laws
existing in Oklahoma.
If the matter is taken to the supreme
court and the case is settled in accord
ance with the opinion handed down by
the Oklahoma supreme court, it will
settle the question as to the legality of
the criminal code of Oklahoma terri
tory. In case the United States SUI
preme court should decide that the
decision of the lower court is not cor
rect it would mean that Oklahoma has
not a law to punish criminals and that
the territory would be in for plenty of
trouble. The records of the territorial
secretary's Office were placed in evil
dence and testimony given regarding

In Vienna there is school for wait
ers. The first course is devoted to a
theoretical exposition of the art of
serving at table. When the pupils
have sufficiently mastered the princi-
pies of the art, they are allowed to
practice on two ladies and two gen.
tlemen in evening dress who dine at
one table. The professor watches the
operation, and sharply calls the waiter
to account if he uses an ordinary cork
screw instead of an automatic one,
or carelessly puts his finger in the
soup. If he should be without gloves,
he is shown how to conceal the fact
by means of the serviette, and so
forth. There are 1900 pupils in this
school alone.
