LEAVE IT TO COMMITTEE.
The Republican convention of the
Fourth Congressional District met here
this evening and decided to leave the
nomination Of q candidate against E. w.
Pou to the Executive Committee
There has been considerable complaint
that Governor Aycock uses his pardoning
power too freely, the charge being made
that he is outstripping all predecessors
in the number of criminals pardoned, and
this charge is being made in the pend
ing campaign against the Democratic adj
ministration. However. Governor Aycocll
has had prepared statement comparing
his pardoning record with those Of Rus
sell (Republican) and Jarvis and Vance
(Democrats).
UNJUST CHARGE.
This shows that during corresponding
periods of their respective administrations
Governor Aycock pardoned IS, Governor
Russell 1874. Vance ~ and Jarvis -. In
crease in population considered, Aycock
has fallen considerably behind both Jar
wis and Vance in the number of pardons.

S. L. Patterson all left this morning Tor
various parts of the State to make
series of campaign speeches. Governor
Aycock and Commissioner Patterson Will
spend the next two weeks speaking IN
western counties and the Secretary OF
State and State Treasurer will speak in
eastern counties for some days.
The campaign is now in full swing.
and while there is no danger of a Repub-
lican victory, still they have fighting
chance at least to make some inroads
on the Democratic majorities of two
years ago.
The joint canvass between Senator
Pritchard (Rcpublican and Mr.. Locke
Craig. a possible Democratic nominee for
the Senate, is attracting wide attention,
and is really resulting in the develop
ment Of opportunities for the Reoubli-
cans to catch the ear of the people. espe-
cially the rank and file Of Democracy In
a way they have not done before IN
many years.
MANY Democrats contend that no good
can come to the Democratic cause by the
Joint canvass, which is In direct opposi-
ton to the expressed wishes Of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee and the
campaign management.

SHAW TO THE RESCUE
Will Anticipate All Interest from Now
Until End Of Fiscal Year.
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept 25.-Secre-
tary Shaw to-day gave out the follow
ing statement:
Money once covered into the treasury
(and this, Of course. includes the SUBJ
treasuries) cannot thereafter be de-
posted in banks. All custom receipts
are by law payable to the treasury and
sub-treasurieS The only fund therefore
available for deposit in banks is inter-
nal revenue and miscellaneous receipts
before they have been actually covered
into the treasury. These amount to
about half million per day and since
the stringency arose to their fullest ex
tent have been steadfastly returned to
circulation. This policy will be conttn-
ued for thirty or thirty-six days If
needed. and longer IL necessary.
In the meantime National bank cir
culation has been increased about Sz.-
ooo.0o0. largely induced by the disturbu-
ton Of deposits. and the further Increase
to the amount of eight millions Is as
sured. All rumors of experiments have
been unauthoriztN by the Treasury De-
partment. It is to be hoped that the
public will place no credence in vagaries
started by irresponsible and Entrusted
men Of the street. It IS also hoped that
the country Will understand that the
Treasury Department, to the extent Of its
ability will staSA by the banks. East and
West, North and South, and it is hoped
also that the banks will stand by every
business and every interest that is worth
protecting. The only way to get money
out of the treasury into circulation. after
it has been actually covered in. is by the
payment of legal obligations of the gov
eminent. These may be anticipated .
THE department did anticipate the Oc-
tober interest, It now offers to antici-
pate all interest maturing between Octo-

President Maupin Says They VIII
Put Conduits in at Once.
AN NEXPECTED TURN
Street Committee Appoints Sub-Com-
mittee to Decide What Streets Shall
Be Used by Richmond Telephone
CONTEMPLATING Contracts.
AN UNE EXPECTED TURN

The Richmond Telephone Company's
fight for an amended franchise took an
unexpected turn before the Street Com
mite in special session last night
Instead OF the fight which was ex-
pected TO be made by the company for
the amendments and against putting it's
wires underground, the company asked
for permission to place its conduit
system in at once, and assured the COM
rnittee that it would be prepared to begin
this work as soon as the order IS en-
tered
The Richmond Telephone Company has
fought for delay in installing its under
ground system for months. but now
seems more than willing to comply with
the provisions of the ordinance requiring
all wires to go into conduits
The Street Committee appointed as n
subcommittee Messrs. West. Burton and
Phillips, who together with the City En-
gtneer and officers of the Richmond Tele-
phone Company will consider the COM
pany's conduit route, and report to the
meeting OF the whole committee on Mon
day night.
a SURPRISE.
The special meeting OF the committee
was held for the purpose of considering.
the Richmond Telephone Companys Pc
tition to amend and extend it's franchise
but at the request of President Maupin,
of the company. its consideration was
postponed, and instead he asked that an
order, allowing the company to begin the
work of putting its wires under ground
at once, be entered.
In this connection. Mr. afaupin stated
that his company had placed an order
for conduitS, and that they would be
ready to begin wor kunder the direction
of the City Engineer.
The question when the new exchange
would be put in operation was asked Mr..
Maupn. and to this he replied that they
expected to begin cutting over the system
next week unless unforeseen difficulties
arose.
The committee decided that inasmuch
as the company had not mapped out it's
conduit course through the city streets.
the matter would have to be postponed
until this was done.
On Monday night the Street Committee
will recommend 10 the Council that the
request of the company to put its wires
under ground be granted.
