The American Bicycle company was in
corporated in New Jersey in May, 1899,

SEC'Y SHAW'S VIEWS
Head of Treasury Department Gives
Views on Need Of Cash for
Crop Movement.
Govt Will Cover Any Increased Cir
culation by Banks With 80
Per Cent Deposit.

E. w. Decker, cashier Of the North
western National bank, has received
letter from Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of
the treasury in reply to a letter in which
Mr.. Decker asked as to his attitude in re-
gard to increasing the governments de-
posts in national banks to help in NOV
ing the crops.
Mr.. Shaw does not think any public
necessity exists at the present time He
replies that whatever increased circulation
the banks may want to take out will be
covered by q so per cent increase Of the
governments deposit in that bank.
If national bank wishes to increase its
circulation 100000, the government will
increase it's deposit $4,000. This will
necessitate a purchase by the bank of
$3.50, 900 in bonds to secure the circulation
and the extra deposit.
Mr.. Decker believes that this is a good
scheme and that it's application would re-
lieve stringency. He said, also: IF we
find that we need more money, it will be a
good way Of relieving the situation. The
2 per cent bonds have gone up about a
point, probably by reason Of these pur-
chases to increase the circulation by de-
posit."
The purchase of bonds from banks about
to retire circulation would not help the
matter. But otherwise the effect will be
probably to take bonds out of hands that
have had them locked up for a long time
in a vault. 49,,

TO BRING AMES BACK
Capt, Fitchette Says That He Has
Been Offered 81, 900 for - E
the Task. ~
Little Likelihood That He Could Ac-
. complish It-Ames' Interests
in the Way.

: John Fitchette, the former police cap
tain, says that he has been offered $1,000
to bring A. A. Ames back from West
Baden, Ind., to assume control of munich
pal affairs as mayor once more. The
inference is that some ,ofthose who have
suffered by the change in the administra-
ton or who would profit by DR.. Ames'
return are back of the proposition. Who
made him the oyer Mr.. Fitchette declines
to say. .'-> "'
1t is hardly possible that the one or
the ones who made the proposition to the
restauranteur did so in sober seriousness
In the first place it Is extremely improb-
able, considering his failing health, that
DR.. Ames could, under any conceivable
combination of circumstances, be induced
to return to Minneapolis. In no way
could he serve his own interests by sc
doing, even though it might make capital
for some one else. His business at West
Baden would suffer by his return also.
An important fact to be considered Is
that if he should decide to return, he
would be In danger Of immediate impeach-
ment by the city council the moment he
undertook to assert himself in the officia
capacity Of mayor of Minneapolis.

GATEWAY
Roar Regarding Determinations by
Roads Using That for Ship
.. ments to the East.
Injunctions May Be Aimed at Such
Roads and May Catch the
Minneapolis & St. Louis.

Report to-day says Minneapolis & st.
Louis officials may be subpoenaed before
the federal grand jury in the freight rate
discrimination investigation, which is was
at first believed was aimed at the Wiscon"
sin Central alone.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis has a good
reputation for maintaining rates. It's
natural position is that so long as rates
are maintained the general friendliness
toward the road in Minneapolis Will give
1T a share Of the traffic. Injunctions on
the other Chicago and Missouri river lines
forcing f1rmer rates have consequently
been a card in favor Of the MINNEAPOLIS &
St. Louis. On flour business traffic men
Of other lines say that the road has always
stood for firm rates as the best thing for
both shippers and roads.
But there Is a big roar against prac-
tices in vogue at the Peoria gateway and
the Minneapolis & st. Louis Is included
in the lines which reach that gateway
through direct connections, the Mime
apol1s & st. Louis getting into Peoria over
the Iowa Central. If the present in
vestigation takes up that subject it is like
ly that the Minneapolis & St. Louis off,
Gals will be called as witnesses.
Some of the traffic men say that as long
as the Peoria gateway is not tied up with
injunctions there will be an opportunity
to undo some ofthe work accomplished
by enjoining the roads which use the
Chicago gateway.
J. M. Smith, auditor for the interstate
commerce commission, arrived this morn
ing. He has charge of all the tariffs filed
with the commission and other work in
connection with the records of that body
He will assist Mr.. Marchand, attorney
for the commission.
In all about forty witnesses have been
called. Among them are officials Of the
Omaha and North Western roads.

MUST HAYELICENSES
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Can't Do
Retail Business Without Pay
ing $1,000 License.
Mayor Jones Decides Upon Course -
Four Firms Have Already
IN, Been Notified. -s.. !

An additional $4,000 year for the city
treasury from the retail liquor traffic
- That will be the net result OF Mayor
Jones' determination to force wholesale
liquor dealers who retail liquor to take out
retail licenses. 1t is expected that ABOUT
twelve dealers will be thus affected.
The rule Will apply to wholesale dealers
and to grocers who retail liquors.
Four such dealers have already been no.
titled by License Inspector Frank Hopper
to take out $1,000 liquor licenses in order
to continue to retail liquor in Minneapolis,
or else to sell strictly on the wholesale
basis hereafter. '~s -.
At least four other wholesale liquor
houses are yet to be notified. Inspector
Hopper said to-day that he was In posses
sion Of evidence against dealers yet to
hear from him, which would force them to
conform to the new rule. ~.
The firms notified to-day are among the
leading business houses in their respective
lines down town.
In addition, it Is limited that certain
other business houses, not included under
the list of wholesale liquor dealers or gro
GERS, will be made to take out licenses or
go out Of the liquor business altogether.
The firms involved have been given NO
time limit in which to obey the law. If
they fail to get In line after a reasonable
notice, steps will be taken to make them
toe the mark.

Sale of Advertising Concession at
State Fair to a Bucket.Shop
Cause of Their Wrath.

The officers, directors and leading men,
bers of the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce are indignant over the action of the
stae fair officials in selling an advertising
concession to the largest and most no
torious bucket shops in the northwest.
That the men in charge of the matter
Of granting concessions at the fair
grounds, should permit this concern to
use the state fair as means of increas-
ing the number Of it's patrons, and should
permit the men in the employ of the con-
Germ to put up quotations: representing
the changes in prices in wheat at the Min
neapolis Chamber of Com MERGE, is com
mented on very seriously by the members
of the chamber who go to the fair and by
all who are familiar with the facts. It is
assumed that the fair management is ig-
norant Of the character of the concern
which it has admitted, but such ignorance
is not excusable. 80.

Fort Trumbull, New London, Conn.,,
Sept. 3.-Headquarters Of Army of De-
fense-Early this morning the naval
enemy made its third attack on the forts
Of New London. IT is said to have been
the most effectfv6' and spectacular move
since the maneuvers began. The firing
began at 1850 and continued for two
hours. The attacking squadron was COM
posed Of the battleships Kearsarge, Ala
bana, Massachusetts and Indiana.
Just as soon as the first ship was within
range she was fired upon from Fort
Niche, but no attention was paid to this
warning, and the ship headed in the di-
rection, of Fort Wright, it seemed, on
purpose to capture that strongly fortified
place, which is believed to be capable,
with the aid Of Forts Niche and Terry
Of coping with the strongest fleet afloat.
The ships kept pretty we'll out in pass
ing Race Rock light, but made no attempt
Niche or Terry, and few guns were fired
from these forts. It was a determined at
tack on Fort Wright and the firing from
the guns and mortars Of the fort was kept
up necessarily as the four ships formed
In line Of battle and sailed slowly by the
fort, exchanging shot for shot as far as
possible.
Before attacking the fort, the ships
made detour and then swung well in
| towards Fishers island and commenced
| the bombardment after the ships each had
! taken position at the front and rear of
Fort Wright. 49,
Colonel Davis, commanding the district,
was at the signal station. The firing was
| kept up for about half an hour, when
the ships sailed we'll out towards the Race
| again, the defenders believing the ships
| were to retreat in the direction whence
they came Suddenly the ships turned
and again made a vigorous attack on
Fort Wright, this time attempting a land
ing. One drew in pretty close and with
rapid fire covered the landing party, but
in opposition to this movement the Cat
ling guns at the fort were brought into
requisition and the landing party was evil
IDENTIFY repealed, or rather that particular
phase of this attack was not considered
successful.
The ships then steamed back in the d.
rection Of Block island. Both on the pas.
sage to and from Fort Wright, the ships
made attacks on Fort Mansfield, and it Is
quite likely that Mansfield will be consid.
cred as having been reduced by the enemy
| and, perhaps, the enemy will claim For
Wright. The ships were handled skill
fully, and their fire was very effective.
Still, army officers claim that Fort
i Wright was competent to cope with foul
battleships even without assistance from
Forts Niche and Terry. = !
