Hopes to Introduce Ele-
ment Of Elasticity in
Banking System.
GIVES OUT A STATEMENT
New Movement Purely Precautionary
and Intended to Relieve Any Possible
Currency Famine - Institutions to
Borrow Federal Bonds.

In view of rumors as to Secretary
Shaw's plans for relieving the money
market in the event of possible
York, authorized Assistant Secretary
Allies to make the following statement:
The Secretary recently invited some
of the larger national banks in the
principal cities to order additional
amounts of circulating notes to be
printed. National banks are entitled to
issue circulation to the full amount OF
their capital.
Element of Elasticity.
THE aggregate capital of national
banks is 500. 900. but the banks have
outstanding only 1888 100000 of circula-
ton The Secretary has hoped to in
troduce an element of elasticity into the
present system. His suggestions to the
various banks in the larger cities that
they make preparation for additional
circulation have met with favorable re-
sponse.
1T is not his intention that they
should issue this additional circulation
at all events. but only in case OF actual
necessity and emergency. He does not
propose to initiate the currency in any
sense. but to be prepared TO meet the
actual currency demand should one
arise.
with this in view. those banks which
have made arrangements to deposit Uni
ted States bonds as security for such
additional circulation have sent in their
orders. and the Secretary has had all
branches of the Treasury service busily
engaged in expediting the preparation
Of the notes pending a possible emer
gency."
Movement Prudential.
All this work OF preparation does not
indicate that the Secretary will expect
the banks to issue additional notes ex-
cept in response to real necessity. The
movement is purely prudential and pre-
cautionary, and intended to relieve any
possible currency famine.
1t does not conflict at all with any of
the various other methods which have
heretofore been employed by the de-
partment in relieving the money market.
II became known in financial circles
yesterday that national banks and West
ern reserve institutions have arranged 10
borrow Government bonds, which will be
deposited to their credit with the Treas
urer of the United States against new
TO be issued TO provide for
the coming crop movements.
This is the plan that has been devised
on account of the inability of banks to
purchase Government bonds in Il mar
ket limited to a small floating supply
1t is believed that $4,000, ,100 of new
will be issued 10 the city
institutions and perhaps from $50, 900 900
to 100000 TO the banks throughout
the country.
This arrangement. it is stated, Is oae
that has the approval OF Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw. who consulted with
New York bankers regarding II a short
time ago. II is believed that the method
will do away entirely with any phase of
money stringency during the autumn
when the demands for cur
rency to move. what N the aggregate,
are near to the largest crops ever gath
cred in the United States. have to be
met.

From Fort Rodman. Mass. westward to
Fort Terry, southwest of New London,
the signal cables are so perfected that
General Macarthur can communicate di-
rectly and Immediately with each post
commander by telegraph.
War Balloon in Waiting.
General Macarthur, when he returned
to New London tonight from Fort Terry,
target practice today. The artillerymen
are beginning to feel the enthusiasm of
the occasion, and they promise to give
warm reception to any vessel that VIII
thrust its nose within range of the forts.
The great problem in the approaching
conflict is to know instantly of the ar
rival of the hostile fleet. There will
certainly be day and night attack, and
there is not the slightest indication of
the time when the attack will begin.
At Point Judith Lieutenant Colonel
Reber is occupied with the war balloon.
He hopes to be the first to see the fleet
and signal his information TO the near
est fort. 1t was intended to keep the
location of the war balloon secret, but
the spies of the enemy were yigilant,
and 1t is known that it is located at
Point Judith.
General Greedy, fearing that marines
may be landed from the fleet and capture
the balloon men. has asked for a de-
tachment of soldiers to protect them.
Should the feet land more men than
Colonel Reber can muster to his defense
he must submit to his capture.
Signaling by Rockets.
There was considerable rocket signal
ing tonight at Fort Wright. Fort Michie
and Fort Terry. to test the efficiency of
the system. II worked nicely and
promises to be of great assistance. Should
the fleet capture the balloon it will then
be compelled to run past line of signal
corps men. Detachments have been
placed on every prominent point and
there seems but little chance for the
vessels to get near the forts without
warning of their approach.
To reach New London the fleet must
pass between the Gull Islands and Fort
Wright on Fishers Island In doing this
the ships will be for time within the
range OF guns of either fort.
Unless they can pass by the forts and
get out of range before the guns can
concentrate their fire upon them. the
attack will be repulsed, and tonight the
army is &C. tdent that such will be the
result OF joint maneuvers

The President has Carroll u. Wright's
report on the coal strike with him The
main part of the report is merely an az
count of the situation as Mr. Wright
found 1t. and is familiar to all newspa-
per readers. There is appended, how
ever, a more informal report in the ma
ture of suggestions for the settlement of
the strike by mutual concessions.
Not to Be Published Yet.
1t is not likely that this part of the
report will be made public as yet 1t
seems to be felt that the effect of It
would merely be TO irritate what is al
ready a sufficiently infiamed situation.
Should it appear, however. that the
strike is to settle down to a deadlock
and that there is no hope of a settle
ment by original initiative. the report
may be let out.
At present there is no official infor-
nation vouchsafed regarding 1t. 1t
is not even admitted officially that the
report is on the train.
In the course of his speech at Weirs
the President said:

twentieth century and looking into the

Talks of the Philippines.
I'VE have just brought to a conclu-
sion Il war in the Far East-a war which
spraDg up as sequel to our short
struggle with Spain. The army which
has done its work so well in the Philip
pines has had a task which was small,
indeed, compared with yours. but which.
nevertheless. was fraught with hard
ships and difficulty peculiarly Its own.
The men who, after three years of
painful. harassing, incredibly laborious
warfare in the tropical jungies against
a troachercus and savage foe. have
finally brought peace and order and
civil government to the Philippine
Islands, are your sons. your successors.

been cruelty maligned. even by SOM
who should have known better.
In any army. in the best army and
especially in an army doing its work
under such well-nigh intolerable condi-
tions as those which confronted our
troops in he Philippines, there are
bound TO be instances of occasional
wrong doing. The temptation to retail
ate for the fearful cruelties of savage
foe is very great and now and then It
has been yielded to.
There have been a few, and only a
few, such instances in the Philippines
and punishment has been meted out with
unfinching justice to the offenders. But
the real marvel is that under such con-
ditions there should have been so little
wrong doing. AS time goes by and we
get onr sense of the proportion of
things. these instances will be forgotten,
but there will remain for all time new
pages on the honor roll of our history
because of what has been done for the
nation in the Philippines.
Brought Light of Civilization.
Our officers and men, on the march
and in battle. showed themselves not un-
worthy of you. the men of the great war.
They have added to the memories OF
which Americans are proud and by their
light of civilization into one of the
worlds dark places.
I'VE feel that we have a right to de-
mand the support OF all good citizens for
the army in the Philippines because OF
what it has done. and we ask it also for
the civil officers of the Government who
with faithful toll and wisdom are build
ing a structure of orderly liberty on the
ground made ready for them by the
soldierly courage of the troops wearing

Where Defendant Was Seen.

John A. Graham, plate printer in the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving, who
resides at 1903 E Street northwest. stat
ed TO the jury that he had seen Nelson
in Alman's saloon. at the corner Of
Fourteenth and Streets southwest. as
late as 1920 o'clock on the night of the
fire. William A. Carroll, of 30s Four
teenth Street southwest, manager of
bar at Thirteenth and II Streets north
west was the next witness. He said that
he saw Nelson in Alman's saloon be-
tween 1915 and 1890 o'clock on the
night of the fire. He left at 1925 o'clock
and Nelson was still there.
William Summers, a bartender en-
ployed at the saloon of James Wells,
In Jackson City, on the night of July a.
said that he saw Nelson get out of a
buggy in front of Wells saloon after
the fire was well started. He could not
tell the exact time. but thought it must
have been nearly II o'cLack. He said
that there was another man in the buggy
with Nelson.
Harry Y. Palmer, deputy sheriff OF
Alexandria county, was then called. Mr.
Palmer testified that he had summoned
a colored man named Nose" Jackson to
appear al the trial as witness for the
State. Nose" was not put on the stand
by the Commonwealth.
II was at this point that Attorney
Moore offered in evidence the record of
the civil proceeding concerning Frank
Foster. who swore out the warrant
against Nelson. The jury retired by
order Of the court. Mr. Moore then
continued. saying that the evidence
showed that there was an effort, made by
Foster and his associates. TO keep Nell
sen out OF Virginia. He said that there
had been plot on the part of Foster
and his associates to keep Nelson from
doing business In Jackson City.

Mr.. Burke spoke against the introduc-

irrelevant. Mr.. Bendheim, for the de-
