BANKS ARE
WELL FIXED.
Secretary Shaw Says There Is No
Need for an Immediate In
crease Of Deposits.
Bank Figures Show a Better Condi-
ton Than Existed at This
Time Last Year.
New York Sun Special Service

New York Bun special Service. sht
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE disquieting
state Of business in Wall street does not,
in the opinion of Secretary Shaw, justify
the government in attempting any meas
ures of relief. Altho it is admitted at
the treasury department that the Wall
street situation has an unfortunate effect
on business conditions turnout the coun-
try, tending in some degree to destroy
confidence and to cause timidity on the
part Of investors in industrial and other
enterprises, yet it is held that the money
market Is In far better condition than
1t was year ago. In fact, the officials
maintain that there is no occasion for
any effort on the part Of the government
to swell the volume Of available cur
rency.
Secretary Shaw has a statement show
ing the general money conditions year
ago and at the present time. This shows
that the bank reserves in New York are
about 100000 larger than last year at
this time On July /, 1902, the bank re-
serves in New York were about 100000
600. On the corresponding date this year
these reserves amounted to $4,000, 600.
On Sept l, 1902, the reserves of the New
York banks aggregated $10,00o,000 more
than the reserves at this date. 1t Is be-
lieved that the money market will be in
better condition on Sept. 1 next than on
the corresponding date last year. Under
the circumstances, Secretary Shaw has
no idea of increasing the federal deposits
In the national banks.

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 11.-Joseph Bauer
Is fond Of children, and, altho he is a
widower with three boys Of his own, he
felt lonesome. George T. Kingsley, a
piano flnisher, has a family of seventeen
hale and hearty youngsters, and Bauer,
at first sight, fell violently in love with
Mrs. Kingsley and her flock.
Mrs. Kingsley, who is short, feshy and
so, became acquainted with Bauer thru
his selling her garden truck. Kingsley
never suspected anything until the elope-
ment last night.
The loss of his wife was bad, but the
qutetness that reigned turnout the once
noisy home when 1t was occupied by the
seventeen Kingsley kids was more than he
could stand, and he swore out warrant
for Bauer. charging him with stealing his
family. AS several Of the children are
under 10, he also put the case in the hands
of the humane society. The clippers were
traced to Cares, where they were endeav.
oring to stow away the seventeen young
sters and themselves in three-room cot
tage. They were brought to this city and
lodged in Jail.
