PLAN TO COMPETE WITH Elk
PRESS COMPANIES.
WILL HAVE LARGE CAPITAL
Meeting Said to Be Called In New
York to Perfect the
Scheme.

Indianapolis, March lathe Senti-
mel tomorrow will print the following:
Charles l.. Farrell, assistant cashier
of the Capital National bank and Sec
citation, left yesterday to attend a
meeting at New York City, Saturday,
of prominent bankers from nearly ev-
cry state in the union in one of the
most important banking schemes of
late years.
The proposition is to enter the mon
ey order field as a competitor of ex-
press companies and the government
itself. It is proposed to issue uniform
bank money orders payable through
an immense clearing house in New
York City, probably the Western Ma
tional bank, with branch clearing
houses in all other large cities.
The scheme was conceived by east
ern bankers who held a meeting in
New York last spring and invited the
cooperation of the western banks to
extend the proposed scheme over the
entire country. One representative
from each state was nominated rs a
member of the executive committee,
generally an officer of the various
state bankers associations. The mat
ter was laid before these representa-
tives in a quiet way last fall, in a
circular explaining details of the pro-
posed scheme, and in turn by them to
the bankers Of the principal cities of
their state. Responses were general
ly favorable and two weeks ago a call
was issued for a meeting of this eX-
ecutive committee to be held in New
York Saturday.
At the head of the system will be
York City, which will act as one i'm
mense clearing house for the national
association. In each city where a
number of banks request it there will
also be clearing houses. as it were,
to collect the daily orders cashed by
the various banks. 1t is proposed to
incorporate this association with a
paid up capital of gigantic proper
lions, reaching far into the millions,
that it's credits may be absolutely I'M
questioned and that it's orders may
circulate almost the same as currency
and be received with the same faith
and credit that is now given the or
ders of express companies and of the
government.
To compete with express companies,
rates for issuance of orders will be
placed at minimum price which it is
be able to meet because of their linn
tied banking facilities.

eral Funston, and said that he was
sure the proceeding on the generals
part had been not only humane, but
that it had been in accordance with
the rules of civilized warfare. 1t was
true, he said, that General Funston
and his force had acted somewhat in
the capacity of spies, but what they
had done had bee. in the line of hon
orable warfare.
Senator Hoar also spoke at some
length regarding this provision in the
treaty. He referred to Aguinaldo's
capture and said that he believed the
adoption of the treaty would have a
tendency toward elevating the conduct
of modern warfare.
Some of the members of the commit
tee on foreign relations said briefly,
that the ratification of that treaty
would place this country in accord
with the highest thought of the times.
and expressed the hope that the
treaty would receive the unanimous
support of the senate. Those who
raised the question apropos of dis
cussion disclaimed any intention to
prevent favorable action.

FARM FOR SALE
FORMER HOME OF "OLD ABE" TO
BE SOLD FOR TAXES.
Many Bidders From All Over the
Country Making Inquiries Of
County Officers.

Evansville, Ind, March 14.-The old
Lincoln farm, in the heart of Lincoln
City, Spencer county, will in a few
days be sold for delinquent taxes. For
years the taxes ON the farm have not
been paid, and the county officials de-
cided the best thing to do was to offer
the farm for sale.
Attempts have heretofore been
made to turn the farm into a park and
ask congress to make an a%ppropria-
ton for this purpose, and this may
be done after the farm passes into
other hands.
The old cottage that stood on the
farm and in which Abraham Lincoln
lived was removed to New York many
years ago and was sold for several
thousand dollars.
The commissioners of Spencer coun-
vt have received many letters from
people all over the country wanting
to buy the farm and bidders will
doubtless be numerous when the tax
sale is held.
The mother of Lincoln is buried on
the farm.

The discussion turned entirely on
the conduct of the war in the Philip
pines and related especially to Cen
eral Funston's capture of Aguinaldo.
Senator Teller inquired whether if
this treaty had been in force at the
time, the method Of Aguinaldo's cap
ture could have been justified. He
quoted the provision in the treaty re-
lating to the conduct of spies and
said that he did not meal himself to
say that General F%unstons' course
would not have been regular,
but merely to secure the opinion of
the senators who had given attention
to the treaty. and who also were ia
miliar with the details of Aguinaldo's
capture.

SECRETARY SHAW THINKS PRICE
TOO HIGH.
BANKS ANXIOUS TO SELL
Retiring Circulation In Order to Dis.
pose of Bonds on Deposit at
Present Prices.

Washington, March 14.-The secre-
tary of the treasury has announced
that he will discontinue for the pres
ent the purchase of United States
bonds of the 5 per cent loan of 1904;
4 per cent funded loan of 1907; 3 per
cent loan Of 1908, and 4 per cent loan
of 1925, such discontinuance to take
effect at the close of business tomor-
row.
The secretary believes that the
price Of bonds is unreasonably high,
and that the effect of the government
being permanently in the market slim
ulates and helps to maintain this price
to the prejudice of the national bank
circulation. Banks are said to be
retiring circulation as rapidly as pos
sible, presumably for the purpose of
selling bonds now on deposit at the
present prices, or for the purpose Of
using them with the treasury as Sc
curity for government deposits.
In making government deposits, the
secretary is disposed to discriminate
in favor of such banks as maintain
their circulation, and by these two
methods he hopes to overcome the
tendency to retire bank circulation.
