SAVED THE DAY.

trade, involving increasing demand for
larger volume OF money, Is therefore. alb
ss1rd as. 1T may seem, disappearing ma
tional debt. The secretary stepped into
the breach ands by exercising n hitherto
unused right ct discretion and interpre-
tim Of the law. has sawed the country
from a panic, the result Of too much
prosperity. .fa .a
Three things were needed to make the
credit and currency system flexible: First,
an increase to the &loaning power Of the
banks; second, an tincreaseIn the national
bank currency. and, third, the certainty
that. as funds are locked up in the treas
ury, they can be released by deposit OF
other securities than the governments
when the governments securities cannot
be obtained. Governments can be had AZ
present at. least for temporary use, ana
this last option will not now be used g
These three advantages are secured IN
der Secretary Shaw's ruling, first by de-
Gliding that the bankssneed not hold a
lawful money reserve against treasury
deposits" This frees $34, ,000, 600 In cur
rency. Second, II the banks holding these
deposits will use the governments now
on deposit In the treasury to secure de-
posits in order to. get more national bank
currency, they can substitute other saw
tngs bank securities for the governments.
Third, when the governments cannot be
obtained, other sound securities can be
used for treasury deposits.
Secretary Shaw has thus at stroke
done more by single administrative or
der to relieve the strain caused by the
sub-treasury system than any OF his pre-
decessors has done by buying bonds at
an exorbitant premium or increasing the
federal funds held by the banks
Secretary William Window twelve years
ago spent nearly '$90, ,00O. 900 In single
season to buy bonds and release currency
from the treasury. Secretary Fatrchild
before this did something. though: not
much, by taking the market instead Of the
face value Of bonds as the basis ~ @
The action of one was transitory, the
other gave only a partial aid. Secretary
Shaw has gone much further. He has in
creased the bank loans. He has unloaded
the vaults Of the sub-treasury and re-
stored their congested millions to the
channels Of banking and of trade. Only
those will blame him who prefer ruin un-
der the letter. to safety under the spirit
of the law.

"a The Closing Addresses.
In the course OF his closing address
yesterday afternoon County Attorney
Boardman impressed upon the jury the
fact that the evidence presented by the
defence was entirely negative and con-
sisted wholly of Ames' denials Of the
charge made against him. He claimed
that the states witnesses could have no
object In testifying falsely as they had
nothing to gain by SO doing.
Victor WEIGH. in his address, main
tanned that the state had not kept it's
promise to show the payment of SIS by
Addie Mills to Joseph Cohen and its sub
Aequent transfer to Colonel Ames. He
then took up the testimony of Otto Wir-
tensohn and informed the jury that the
detective had deliberately committed per-
jury in order to shield the man who really
ordered him to- accompany Cohen. on his
collection tour Of the red-light district
MIR. WEIGH then asked why the county
attorney had not tried Cohen Instead OF
placing "an innocent man. on trial He
said Cohen had admitted to him the COL
lection Of the money but had claimed that
1t had been turned over to the late Col
onel William A. Tanner, 'for campaign
purposes ~ - ~. g, ~ -. - :.
Judge Brooks, in his charge, told the
jury that If the state had succeeded in
proving that Joseph Cohen had collected
$40 from Addie Mills, as an agent OF the
former chief, even though the money was
never turned over to Ames, the chief, un-
der the law. was guilty. He explained
that, according to law, what man does
through another he does himself; and that
II an executive officer either asks or re-
ceives bribe with the understanding that
his official acts are to be Influenced there
by, he Is guilty Of a crime. i. The testi-
rrony OF other women who swore they had
given Cohen money was, he, said, peril
nent only to show the existence of sys-
tenn OF collections and thus, inferentially,
to corroborate Addie Mills. ''
The jury was sent out at 6, o'clock
last night. At $3.50 Judge Brooks came
down to the courthouse, whence the at
torneys, the defendant and his wife had
preceded him. But the jury. had
reached no agreement. A note was sent
to the judge asking that certain testimony
be re-read, but the request was not
granted and the jury did not leave it's
room until breakfast time this morning.
A morning paper printed the report that
a verdict had been reached last night and
that itwould be returned at $3.50 this morn
ing. Colonel and Mrs. Ames were on hand
shortly after o'clock, but still the jury
gave no sign, and finally they returned
home to await the outcome with what
patience they could muster.

BIDDING FOR WHEAT.
Prices at Duluth Are Operating to
Attract Grain Away From
This. Market. d
This Condition Not Expe ectsd to- Out
81 last the Close Of the Lake
Season.

The 500 road is daily turning over q
considerable quantity of wheat to the
Northern Pacific at Glenwood, Mimi, to
go into Duluth. The 500 picks up this
wheat along the line from Portal clear
down to Hankinson and even below. and it
heads apparently for Minneapolis The
500 would prefer to bring it in here for
obvious reasons, but shippers have been
directing it to GlenWood to q be there
turned over to the Northern Pacific and
it Is said some lots originally billed to
Minneapolis have been afterward directed
in this manner to Duluth. TX =, E..
The fact Is that Duluth has been paying
better prices for cash wheat. Yesterday
No. l Northern closed in Minneapolis at
66%c for spot and at 66%c to arrive, and
in Duluth at 671Hc spot and 671ac to ar
rive. and on daily trading in the two
markets Duluth cash wheat has at times
sold to 21zc over Minneapolis.
This morning Minneapolis received 1913
cars wheat while Duluth got SIT, or 329
more than Minneapolis. And this COM
parison. If extended to last year, shows
that Minneapolis then had SGT cars or 3e9
more, while Duluth last year had only 240
and so gains 287 cars on to-day's showing.
Armour has been buying cash wheat for
a time right in this market and shipping
it to Milwaukee and Chicago, but it Is
thought the closing up Of the September
buyers from Milwaukee and Chicago are
coming up close to what is properly Min
neapol1s territory on the south and south
west and with Duluth pulling from the
other end the prospect Is not very encour-
aging for increased receipts here while
present relative price Differences remain.
It Is natural that Duluth should get large
receipts at this season, as the usual good
shipping demand now rules there, and
much of the wheat Is going out to Buffalo
and other eastern points. Even yet Du-
luth is behind by 3,615,163 bushels so far
this year, having received since August /,
S,238, 131 bushels against 1862 163 in the
same period last year.
With the beginning of larger receipts
two weeks ago. Minneapolis grain men
were encouraged to hope for a gain that
would soon wipe out the loss occasioned
by the light runs of the early part Of the
movement. But with existing conditions
it is now the opinion that total receipts
here must remain under last year until
after the close of navigation when the
wheat will naturally come here.

Here it will be seen that MINNEAPOLIS
received 2,486 cars and 1,942,O9O bushels
less wheat than from September to date
in 1901. This loss will be made up later
in the season but not while present con-
dittons rule.
The decrease in bushels Is not quite so
great as the carlots would indicate for the
reason that average lots this year carried
about 8S2 bushels against an average Of
S58 bushels last year. This average has
been increased by occasional very heavy
cars received AS an instance the Great
