STORAGE BATTERY PLANT

$4,000 Horsepower Can Be Held In Re-
serve at the 500 for Emergencies.
SAULT STE. MARIE, MICH.-One Of
the most important features Of the elec-
trical equipment Of the big water power
development and one concerning which
but few people have been informed will
be the storage battery plant, the largest
Of it's kind in the world. It will have
capacity for the storage of $4,000 elec-
trical horsepower and will occupy a large
section Of the upper story of the power
building. -
When the mammoth plant is in full
operation there will be from time to time
a certain quantity Of surplus energy. For
instance, a manufacturing industry may
have a contract for a., certain volume of
horsepower and there will be occasions
when it will not be used to the full ex-
tent. Here is where the storage battery
will come into play, The turbines at the
power building will be kept on turning to
furnish power for the electrical machin-
cry and the surplus will go to the storage
plant, from which it will be available as
required for all purposes to which cleo
tricity can be applied.
The storage battery will be a mountain
of bottled up electricity, at all times in
readiness to furnish power, and will add
greatly to the capacity of the power plant
In case Of an accident which might neces-
state the closing dQwn Of the plant there
| will be sufficient Ssroreds energy to keer
| the wheels OF, the Industry revolving fol
some time, and during the period of oper'
alton there will always be a surplus tina
can be used as desired in various direc'
| tions. =, D..
There is no plant in the world Of {
similar nature that will approximate il
capacity to the one to be installed here
It is only within the last two years tina
the storage of electricity in any large
quantity has been made commercially
practicable. !:
The company has had correspondence
with Edison, the great electrician, wht
has evinced: much interest in the plan
here.

tion, have thus far been received. One
sheriff Of a county in the eastern part OF
the state has asked for five tickets. How
ever, the hanging will not be public. and
the witnesses will be limited in number.
Walking Shield has asked for and re-
ceived permission to sing the death song
Of his tribe, at the time Of the hanging.
The prisoner holds UP well under his con-
fnement in the county Jail, and passes
great deal Of the time in singing the songs
of his people.
United States Marshal Kennedy will
reach Sioux Falls the latter part Of the
week, when final arrangements for the
hanging will be perfected.
It is understood that Deputy United
States Marshal John R. Petrie Of Cham

committed the crime, will be assigned the
task of pulling the lever which will hurl
Walking Shield into eternity. or

1t is gratifying to know that both houses
of congress are giving the question careful
consideration and that the prospect Of
some relief in the near II not immediate
future Is promising. When the recommen-
dations in the presidents message are full
filed and all our forms of money are ex-
changable at par for the established stan
dard 25.S grains of gold for every dollar,
our financial centers will be able to COM
pete successfully with those of foreign
countries as International clearing houses.
And If in addition United States currency
shall follow the flag the time is not far
distant when the prices current of all Asia
will be written in United States money.
Porto Rico suffered temporarily by a
changed standard, but 1t took no longer to

Surely the world has as many kinds of

venient as United States money.
Let United States money be made as Sc
cure as the British pound and its. employ
ment IN the commerce of the world will be-
come as universal as the use of the English

ATTACKS ORGANIZED LABOR
MnnufRcturers' President Says Coal
Strike evoked Much Maud
lin Sentiment.

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 2O.-"It Is time TO
organize" is the keynote OF four circulars
being sent to manufacturers throughout
the country by D. NJ. Parry Of Indianapolis.
president of the National Association OF
Manufacturers He has found his text in
various resolutions adopted by the recent
convention Of the American Federation OF
Labor at New Orleans.
The circulars are directed more against
organized labor in general than against the
eight-hour bill, which he has attacked.
Referring to the Hayes resolutions
adopted by the federation, Mr.. Parry says:
John Mitchell's united mine workers
organizations cast 1904 votes solidly for
this resolution. This Is the organization
that evoked so much maudlin sentiment
and brought the whole country to its knees
In the anthracite strike. II is confidently
prophesied that the coal trade will be in
the control of the trade u~nionist by the
time Of the next American Federation OF
Labor convention"
The charge is made that the Hayes res
o%lutions mean an attack upon the pro-
ductive wealth Of the country and that the
socialists intend to take possession of AL
municipal and private properties.

NICARAGUA CANAL
Senator Morgan Says Panama Ditch Will
Never Be Dug.
COLOMBIAN CONGRESS MUST PASS TREATY
Has Had No Parliament for
Four Years and Now Has No Money
with which to Pay Legis-
Iative Expenses,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-After a session
Of less than three hours the senate today
adjourned until January 5.
Today's session was largely given up to
an address by Senator Morgan on the 18TH
milan canal. He declared 1t to be In
the interest Of the United States to resume
negotiations with Nicaragua and Cost RIGA
with the view of utilizing the Nicaraguan
route, as he believed the Panama treaties
would never be negotiated.
A humble Of bills we're passed and the
conference report providing for the payment
OF the expenses of the anthracite coal strike
commission was agreed to.
Only twenty-seven senators were in their
seats when the senate was called to order.
Mr.. Allison of the senate conferees on
the coal strike arbitration bill presented
the report of the conference committee. He
explained that the senate amendment fixing
a definite sum for the expenses and com
pensation OF the commissioners and en-
pioyes and taking the question out OF the
hands OF the president had been retained,
but that the senate conferees had yielded
to the house to the extent of allotting SIS
per day to the commissioner for expenses
instead of $40 as fixed by the senate. The
report was agreed to.
nj. LOuBt from tue committee on uQhnCe
presented the currency bill and gave notice
that as the measure is important he would
call II up during the morning hour of the
senate at the earliest moment.
He expressed the opinion that the bill
would not lead to prolonged debates.
A bill authorizing the payment Of judg-
ments amounting to 81, 900. 900. on account
Of the destruction OF property in Hawaii
in connection with the buhonlc plague epi-
demic in 1899, also passed.
The resolution heretofore offered by Mr..
Patterson (Colo,). requiring railroad COM
panles to supply to the Interstate Com
mNrce commission data as to brakes, was
adopted.
Mr.. Morgan (Ala) consumed the re-
malnder OF the session in discussing thC
isthmian canal.
He demanded the ratification of contracts
entered into by President Mckinley with
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua, the negotiations
for which he characterized as masterful.
Proceeding. he expressed apprehension
that II the United States did not avail itsel
OF the opportunity to construct a canal b.
the Nicaragua route none would be built
He called attention to the fact that undeI
the Colombian law only congress could rat
ify a treaty. There had been no congress-
in Colombia since 1898 and there was no
likely to be one soon unless the Panama
canal company paid it's expenses out OF tn,
49, 900, 900 on hand or the $40, 0O0, 900 prom
ised by the United States. He therefor
expressed apprehension that any tresty thA
might be accepted in the United State
would fall through in Colombia.
ut would go forth like a wanderinI

Mr.. Morgan concluded shortly after Z

sion, and at $40 adjourned until January {

DOLLARS TO Be UNIVERSAL
Secretary Shaw Wishes to See American
Money Coed the World Over.
SHOULD BE AS SECURE AS BRITISH CASH
Minister Sees No Reason why United
States Currency should Not BE
as Widely Used as Eng
Hsh Language.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2O.-Secretary Shaw was
the principal speaker at a meeting Of the
Bankers club here this afternoon.
He said In part:
I want to emphasize the necessity for an
element Of elasticity in our currency. II
has been said that our present system. Is
the term is employed, but I'm another sense
IL Is a mistake. Unfortunately, however,
The volume contracts Just when 1t should
tract. This is not captious criticism. 1t Is
the naked truth.
There is Just as much need for ~contrac-
ton when money is not legttimately needed
as there Is for expansion when more money
Is required. And unless contraction can be
induced expansion II impossible.
What are the essentials OF an elastic
when not needed; second, its equally
less you have the one you cannot have the
other. The one is an essential protection
against imitation. The other is the best
safeguard against stringency. Currency
sufficient to do the business OF the country
is not inflated. A redundant currency, be
mat much or little: is :, Always t%a aanger of Cur.
rency based upon deposits OF state and
municipal bonds, instead of government
bonds. but this would leave the system as
inelastlc as at present. What is needed is
che right to issue a limited amount OF cur
rsncy without encroaching upon the avail
able funds or the, assets already In the
bank, but with such safeguards as will In
sure It's absolute safety and It's prompt re-
tirement when the demand ceases.
This cannot be accomplished under the
present system of national bank circula-
tion. Bonds are too scarce and the price
too high, and there is no way either TO In
duce additional circulation when the de-
mand increases, or Its retirement when In
terest rates are low. The gradual liquida-
ton OF the government debt Is reducing the
amount OF bonds available for circulation
II. therefore, follows either that the Idea
OF having an elastic currency must bt
abandoned, and IN order to maintain tina
whio we have the government debt mus
be perpetuated and more bonds Issued al
needed, or some new scheme must bt
evolved. If the banks are 70 Issue any cir,
culation whatever, II must be secured
either by specific assets. like government
bonds, deposited with the treasury, or By

The conference report upon the former,
he said, was in the senate and he asked
that a recess be taken until 1t was re-
turned from that body. A recess was ac-
cordlngly taken for twenty minutes.
When the house reconvened Mr.. Cannon
presented the conference report on the
coal strike commission bill and tie report
was adopted without discussion.
The house remained in session until
the bill was enrolled and signed by the
speaker and then adjourned until January
