ELASTICITY is SHAW'S SUBJECT
Secretary of Treasury Explains His
Purpose I'm Inviting Additional
Currency Issue.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-In view Of ru-
mOrs as to Secretary Shaw's plans for re-
lieving the money market in the event OF a
possible stringency the secretary. who is
in New York. today authorized Assistant
Secretary Allies to make the following
statement:
The secretary recently invited some Of
the larger national banks in the princi-
pal cities to order additional amounts Of
circulating notes to be printed. National
banks are entitled to issue circulation to
the full amount of their capital. The ag-
gregate capital Of national banks is $780,
900 000 but the banks have outstanding
only 1858, 900 of circulation. The secre-
tary has hoped to introduce an element
OF, elasticity into the present system His
suggestions to the various banks in the
larger citles that they make preparation
for additional circulation have met with
very favorable response. 1t is not his in
tention that they should issue this addI-
tional circulation at all events, but only
in case of actual necessity and emergency.
With this in view, those banks which have
made arrangements to deposit United
States bonds as security for such addi-
tional circulation have sent in their orders
and the secretary has had all branches OF
the treasury service busily engaged in ex-
pediting the preparation of the notes pend
ing possible emergency

ALL THE HEIRS SATISFIED
Fair Family Reach Agreement, but
IL VIII Take Long Time to
Perfect Arrangements.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2S.-Although the
heirs OF the late Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L.
Fair have reached an agreement, it will
be six months or year before all the
legal arrangements can be perfected.
The Wills left by the decedents will be
filed in the near future for probate. Then
executors will have to be appointed and
there are a number Of minor heirs whose
interests will have to be looked after.
There win be no contest, however, over
the estate, as the Fair children, Mrs; Anna
H. Nelson, Abram Nelson, Charles Smith
and the other heirs, desire to avoid litiga-
tion.
All the terms Of the adjustment will not
be made public, but the attorneys state
that the relatives of Mrs. Fair will receive
the full value Of her estate, which has been
estimated at 100000. None Of those in
terested will admit that they are to be
given a lump sum in cash
The document by which the Nelson's re-
linquish all claims on the estate OF Charles
L. Fair is in the form Of a quit claim, the
consideration for which is stated to be $40
in gold coin. BY II Mrs. Nelson and her
two sons convey to Mrs. oelriehs and Mrs.
Vanderbilt all their right, title and inter-
est in ninety-nine different pieces Of Fair
estate property in this city. together with
thirteen IN San Mateo county, three in
Calaveras county.
This settlement will not affect the ap-
plication of Public Administrator Farham
to secure administration Of the will, which
is being opposed by the heirs.
