Secretary Shaw's First Official Finan-
cial Writing. -
Washington, Feb. 5.-secretary shaw's
first communication on financial legisla-
ton is contained in a letter to Represen-
tative Sulzer of New York, concerning the
latter's bill to deposit government funds
at interest in national banks throughout
the country. The letter says:
1 find on my desk your letter of JAN II,
referring to house joint resolution 112 and
asking Information us to the amount of in
terest which the government would have
realized had the proposed law been adopted
as part Of the national banking law. If the
surplus money in excess of fifty millions
working capital had been deposited in clear
ing house cities in proportion to the relative
capital of each bank therein, with no other
security than prior lien upon the bank s
assets, the government would have lost moth
ing, and if the government had realized per
cent upon the funds deposited it would
have received s32, 900. Aided in this way,
the banks referred to would have been able
to increase credit accommodations to the
people in the sum of 5000, 100000.
This computation was made at the instance
of my predecessor Gone year ago. and was
based upon quarterly rather than daily bal
ances. 1 think some provision for depositing
the surplus funds belonging to the United
States government with national banks upon
security other than government bonds would
be wise, though 1 doubt the limitations as to
the amount Of capital adm surplus contained
in the bill I also question the wisdom of
mandatory provisions Of law. On the con-
trary, I think there should generally be fair
latitude of discretion. Authority to act in a
given line is generally sufficient.

ANOTHER WOMAN ANDBOY'

Recent Of Photographs at Casselton
Destroys Suspicious of Lo-

Casselton. n. D.. Feb. 5.-The reported
nInding OF Miss Florence Ely and her
nephew, Frank Ely Rogers in this city is
mistake. The mystery surrounding the
location OF the Evanst on youth and his
kidnapping aunt is still unsolved.
Several special correspondents for east
ern papers reached Casselton yesterday
afternoon certain there would be some
sensational developments.
It was learned the photographs of the
missing pair had not arrived but later the
pictures We're delivered by a special mes
senger from the postoff1ce, and glance at
the contents satisfied Chief Ballard that
the photographs Were not those of the boy
and woman under surveillance.
the facts which led the chief to sus-
Feet the woman are largely excusable.
She is reported to be the guest of rela-
tlves near this city and is accompanied
by a boy answering this description OF
Frank Rogers, whose relationship to the
woman is sometimes reported as nephew
and again as brother.
After first seeing them the officer looked
| up the newspaper cuts and became more
convinced of their ideEtity. He imme-
diately wired Chief O'Neill for photo
graphs to confirm his suspicion and placed
the pair under surveillance.
The names of the suspected woman and
boy are kept secret for obvious reasons.

U. S. COURT TRIAL AT DEADWo0D
Komstad. S. D., Postoftice Robbers
Will BE Tried ON Circumstan-

Special to The Journal.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 5.-The regular
term CT United States court, Judge Car
land, Of this city, presiding, which COM
cenmed at Deadwood to-day, has several
important cases.
Among them is that against w. w. Will
liams and James Ross, who were arrested
near Parker last November on suspicion
OF having been concerned in the robbery
of the postoffice at Komst ad, Clay county,
few NIGHTS before. The case against
the men is said to be very strong. On
them was found two loaded revolvers.
The cartridges with which the weapons
were loaded were of three different makes.
In the pockets of the prisoners were found
six cartridges. These were also of diff
ferent makes, corresponding to those with
which the revolyers were loaded Just
inside the window of the Komstad post
office, through which the robbers entered,
We're found three cartridges which cor
responded in sizes and makes to those
found in the weapons and on the persons
of Williams and Ross. 1t is also said
that sum of money and a quantity of
stamps were found in possession, of the
two men. Other strong circumstan tial
evidence was also secured.
Another important case is that against
John End Timber a Sioux Indian be-
longing on the Pine Ridge reservation,
who is charged with killing his stepfather,
committed on the morning of Jan. last
while breakfast was being prepared at the
stepfather's home, wEere End fTimber
and his young wife were temporarily re-
siding. The two warriors ouarreled over
the trivial matter Of how a piece of meat
should be cooked, wher the young man
seized a large piece or sandstone, which
was utilized as a crude milestone by the
family, and threw it at his stepfat(her.

The mother and sister of End of Timber
witnessed the fatal termination of the
quarrel, and the government, it is under

testimony to secure End VI Timber's con-
viction. Since his arrest he has been
kept in the Deadwood Jail for safe keep
ing.
There are the usual number of minor
cases, such as whisky selling to Indians
and violations of the internal revenue
laws. -.

Washington, Feb. 5.-There was a lively
scene IN the senate yesterday when the
Noyes- mckenzie cases were the subject
or discussion. The discussion waxed so
warm that Senator Hale asked for an ex-
ecutlve session to prevent any unpleasant
exchange of remarks. Senator Hans
brough stated that Judge Noyes had been
aares1dent of Minnesota for thirteen years
previous to his appointment as judge at
Nome, and that he knew him personally,
and considered him to be an honorable,
upright gentleman. He added: Il
my, Judge Noyes was. appointed upon the
recommendation of the late Senator Davis

here by Senator Bacon, who said:

day that the action Of the California court
in this case was infamous.

course as the conditions in Alaska were
very peculiar and his action in appointing
receivers undoubtedly was necessary.
