During the last few days have been looking around
a little more closely than usual and result find
large number Of odd lots that do like the looks of
Shelves and have decided to close them out during
the next week or So if low prices will accomplish it.
We find obliged to hustle about every minute in
the day. and every day in each week in order to keep
odd pairs broken lines and odd lots cleaned up.
We firmly believe that successful modern merchandising
be carried at the present time only by moving goods
quickly If certain goods do not sell readily the fault
usually with the price, 1t is therefore, entirely necessary
that prices be made right.

PLAN TO REoRGANIZE A
DEFUNCT MEXICAN BANK
President Hunt Suggests the Forma-
tion of New Securities

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2.-President
Hunt of the recently suspended Inter-
national Bank and Trust Company has
formulated a plan for the reorganiza-
tion of that institution, which he has
sent from New York. The plan is as
follows:
A securities, or holding, company will
be formed to take 81 per cent of the
stock of, the bank, to be formed under
Mexican laws with a capital of SIT ,000,-
600 silver. The depositors in the de.
funct bank will be asked to take stock
in the new institution for so per cent of
their deposits and receive the remain
ing 80 per cent of deposits in cash. The
new bank would have local directors, as
we'll as American directors. 1t is fig
ured that the depositors of the Inter
national Bank would eventually get the
full amount of their deposits in this
way If desired, as it is claimed that
the stock of the new institutions would
soon be salable at par.

Pathetic Passing Of
George Monroe in
New York.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-While his wife
and daughter, who are Christian Sci
entists. fervently prayed beside him
that he be healed, George Monroe, the
old-time actor, died in the rear room of
a saloon tonight
The grief-stricken women were still
offering supplications that he be re
stored to health when his life curtain
fell so softly that they did not know
he was dead
Monroe, who was 80 years DID, had
played Uncle Tom in the dramatizAtion
of Harriet Beecher Stoves novel in
every State in the Union and in most
of the Canadian provinces. He had
not been in good health lately. Mrs.
Monroe and her daughter, Mary, are
devoted followers of Mrs. Eddy. To-
night they induced Monroe to attend a
Christian Scientist meeting in West
Twenty-third street. After the meeting
Monroe told the women he felt so much
better that he would like to walk home
But the walk through the blustery
snow weakened him. When they
reached First avenue and Sixteenth
street Monroe nearly collapsed.

Supported by his wife and daughter,
Monroe staggered through the rear
door of Thomas Smiths saloon on that
corner and sank into a chair. Soon,
with deep sigh, his head fell forward
upon the table.
Smith, the saloonkeeper, informed a
policeman that man was very Ill in
the sitting-room of his establishment,
and the policeman called an ambulance
from Bellevue Hospital. When DIR.
Palmer arrived Mrs. Monroe and Miss
Mary were still fervently offering their
supplications, while on the other side
of the door the clink Of glasses and
mems loud laughter sounded. Quickly
the surgeon examined Monroe and
vainly sought his pulse.

R0UVIER. GIVES
SHARP REPLY
French Minister Of FL
nance Challenges
Criticism.

PARIS, Dec. 2.-During the discus
sion Of the budget insthe Chamber Of
Deputies to-day NJ. Rouvier. Minister
Of Finance. replying 70 general criti-
'cisms Of the. Government, declared that
the conditions Of the national credit
were most satisfactory. The fall in
rentes, he said, was chiefly due TO gen.
eraI causes, which had also affected
the other nations Of Europe. but in the
absence Of certain local causes would
have had a less effect on France. NJ.
Rouvier said that INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticians had striven to increase the feel
ing OF distrust with view to discredit-
ing the Government. The deficit In the
budget, he admitted, had also bad an
unfavorable effect on rentes. Whether
a loan would be issued depends upon
the policy Of the Chamber.
At present the Government has no
intention Of floating a loan. but If the
Chamber refused TO supply the Gov
eminent with needful resources, there
by compelling the issue Of $4,000, 900 of
short-time obligations, the floating of
g loan might be found necessary.
Regarding Withdrawals from the saw
ings banks, the Minister pointed out
that these Withdrawals were excessive
only in reactionary districts, from
which fact he invited the members of
the Chamber TO draw their conclusions.

WILL DREDGE
GRAYS HARBOR
Government to Spend
Money to Deepen
Channel.

A committee from the United States
Corps Of Engineers. consisting OF Lieu
tenant Colonel Thomas II. Hanbury OF
San Francisco, Major William c.
Langf1tt and Captain William H. Hart
OF Seattle. returned from Grays Har-
Dor yesterday after a week spent in an
inspection of the improvements which
have been undertaken by the Govern
ment at that point. The particular
duty assigned was to determine the
location for extensive dredging opera
tions, by which a channel from the sea.
for vessels drawing sixteen feet may
be secured to the towns Of Hoquiam.
Aberdeen. Cosmopolis on the bay. sAd
to Montesano. on the Chehalis River.
At present. except at high tide. the
channel does. not exceed ten feet I'm
depth.
The citizens Of Hoquiam. which 10
the site Of extensive lumber manufac-
turing interests, have urged the deep
ening Of the north channel, By which
depth of sixteen feet could be main
tained on the water front. Other in
terests demanded that a channel should
be dredged on the south side OF the
north channel.
1t is understood that the board has
recommended that the wishes Of Ho-
quiam should be favored, though the
removal of 250,OOO cubic yards OF earth
is required. against $4,000 cubic yards
in the south channel.
A contract has already been let for
dredging at Is $40 cents per yard. and
it is believed that early in the season
the improvements in the inner harbor
will be completed
The jetty on the south spit is making
rapid progress, and the results so far
indicate an increasing depth of water

propriated in all s125.OOO for Grays.
