BANKS FIGURE PROFIT
IN BOND REFUND PLAN
Willing. to Exchange Three
Millions in COnsOlS.
THE OFFER Is SIGNIFICANT
Savings Institutions Find the PROPOSE
tion Desirable to Accept-Life
of Bonds Considered.
THE OFFER is SIGNIFICANT

Word has been received at the Treas
uTy Department from one OF the largest
savings banks in New York that 50 .000,
600 worth OF and 4 per cent bonds will
be offered in exchange for pes cent
consoIs in accordance with Secretary
shaw's refunding plan. which was put in
operation April /
Much significance is attached to this
statement It means that the great
financial institutions have been consider
ing the plan and have figured that it will
prove profitable. This decision could not
be reached off-hand nor in a bap-hazard
way.
On the face of the proposition there is
little to tempt a bank or individual 70

VENEZUELAN MISSION
Brings Full Authority for
Bowen to Act.
DIPLOMATS IN NEW YORK
Minister and the Charge d'Afaires Ex-
pected to Arrive Here
Tomorrow.
DIPLOMATS IN NEW YORK

Senior PuIio, charge d'affaires of the
Venezuelan legation. arrived in New
York yesterday on his return from
Caracas. where he went to see Presi-
dent Castro in relation to negotiations
pending here for the settlement of the
claims Of the allies against Venezuela.
The South American trip was made by
Senor Pulido at the request of Minister
Bowen. He bore letter from Nj
Bowen to President Castro. and 1t is
known that he has brought an answer.
Il is believed here that the answer ex-
presses satisfaction in the procedure OF
Nj. Bowen and gives him authority to
conclude the negotiations in his own
way.

Secretary Shaw's Figures.

He saw the advantage the offer would
be to banks and to executors of large
estates which have money to invest. and
was greatly surprised at the slowness
With which the bonds have come in for
refuuding. Though two weeks have
passed the total Of the refunding to date
is Only about $25. .0o0 900, OF e-quarter
Of the limit fixed by Secretary Shaw's
offer.
The New York savings bank which
sent notice 10 the Treasury Department
today has followed the method TO esti-
mate profit as figured by Secretary
Shaw. This system takes the life of the
two glasses of bonds into consideration.
The 1 per cent bonds are payable IN 1907,
and the 3 per cents in 1908 There is a
surrender or exchange value offered by
the Treasury Department which makes
the surrender advisable to persons or
institutions that hold money in trust.
The per cent consols are good prop
erty for q bank on which 10 issue cir
cuIation on account OF the small tax 10
which they are subject Their long life
makes them safe investment and is
preferable, In view OF the surrender val
ue OF the 3 and / per cents, which. ia
any event, will expire in a few years
At the close OF business vest eFday a

RULES FOR CONTROL
OF AUTOHOBILISTS
Public Hearing Before the
District Commissioners.
OBJECTIONS TO REGULATIONS
Time Limit Generally Agreed 70, But
Opposition to Identification of We
hicles by Numbers on Lamps.

The District Commissioners today
granted d public hearing to persons in
terested in the proposed automobile reg
ulations Some time ago Major Syl-
vester suggested that regulations gov
erning the operation OF automobiles be
adopted The matter was taken under
consideration by Commissioner West.
and on account of objections by several
automobilists the hearing was called 10
secure a general expression OF views.
Commissioner MaefarIand today in
opening the hearing read the proposed
regulation, which provides for the TAX
ing out of a license by every owner o.
an automobile or other mechanical We
hicle at a cost OF 81 year With the
license is a number to be placed on the
lanterns OF the vehicle and on the rear
of the machine. SPeed OF these vehicles
is limited TO twelve miles an hour Mr..
MacfarIand said the Board had been ad-
vised by the Corporation Counsel it had
authority to promUlgate and enforce the
regulation.
Doesn't Like Number Plan.
E NJ. Sunderland. secretary of the
National Capital Automobile Club. was
the first speaker He said he wished
to correct an impression that his club
is opposed to any restrictions upon the
operation Of automobiles. He said he
was opposed only TO such regulations
as would work hardship on the drivers
of vehicles. MF. Sunderland then re
viewed the proposed regulation, stating
in detail his objections. These were
chiefly opposition to placing numbers
on lamps and locks on the starting
levers.
Blr. Sunderland was questioned by the
Commissioners as 10 his views OF a suit
able regulation. He spoke at length
upon this point. and the drift of his
remarks was that a limit to speed
should be set. and then as much free
dom given to the operation OF vehicles
as possible. Upon being pinned down
by Commissioner MaefarIand as to the
means TO identity vehicle whose
driver had violated the law. Mr.. sun
6e7land could give no better plan than
TO place a number on the machine.

VIII Be Here Tomorrow.

Minister Bowen is now in New York.
He went there last week and intended at
that time to return tomorrow at noon
II was learned at the Arlington Hotel
today that Mr. Bowen will not reach
Washington until tomorrow at midnight.
He Will be accompanied by Senior Pulido.
The mission OF Senor Pulido has an
interesting dramatic side. On the ship
which took him to South America was
the representative of the Seligmans.
whose purpose was TO obtain an audi
ence with President Castro and prevail
upon him to accept what amounted to
an international loan and with this pay
all the claims against Venezuela
Minister Bowen heard OF this plan.
He was bitterly opposed TO It from the
hrst It would not only overthrow all
the arrangements he has made for the
settlement. but would mean the surren-
der as security for the loan. Of 10. in

were fellow passengers. Il is not known
here which was the first to gain the ear
OF Castro. but It was ascertained by cable
that Senor PuIido was successful in pre-
venting the President from being turned
from Mr.. Bowen's program.
II President Castro had accepted the
loan the last protocols submitted TO the
allies would have been of no avail. and

Some remarks were made in these
columns a few days ago with referenec
to European immigration into the
United States, and it was shown that
a very large portion of the immigration
came from Italy. A late report from
our Consul at Turin foreshadows a still
greater movement from Italy during
the current fiscal year. The cocoon
crop of Piedmont has utterly failed,
and frosts and prolonged rains have
seriously injured and in some cases
completely destroyed the wheat, grape
and other crops of the rich plain of
Lombardy, These causes will drive
thousands from Italy to seek homes in
the United States.

II looks now very much as if the Mos
lem population had broken loose from
all restraint. If it has done so, there
will be a general massacre of all
Christians within reach. 1t will be
very much more serious than the Box
er rising in China, and will bring about
| far more serious results. All countries
which have Moslems among their po-
pulation, dread an outbreak OF Mos
lem fury. 1t is ignorant, arrogant, self
confident and bitter. 1t can only be
withstood by quick firing guns and the
best of arms, and even with such ad-
vantages the unfanatical Caucasion is
no match for the fanatical moslem.
With our wide tolerance, we find it
hard to realize the attitude of mind of
the true Mahommedan. His doctrine
is to spread his religion by force of
arms. He may be Obliged to have a
truce with the unbeliever, but he never
must be at peace with him. 1t is the
duty of the believer to kill the unbe-
lever If he cannot convert him. 1t is
no crime in the eyes of the true Mos
lem to murder the Christian, it is an
act which will commend him to Allah.
He is ever waiting for Moslem Mes
siah, a Mahdi, who will lead the Mos
lem world to final victory and to the
destruction or enslavement of all Chris
tendon. The feeling of the Moslem of
today is just as bitter as it was in the
days of Ottiman, or Ali, or Mahomet
the second or Solliman the Great when
the wave of Mahommedanism swept
over Persia, and then into Northern
Africa, into Spain, into the fairest pro-
vinces of France, till it was broken by
Charles Martel, while another flood
poured over Eastern Europe, and only
paused at the gates of Vienna. 1t was
centuries of constant, cruel and bitter
warfare, and it left the Balkan PENN
sual in Moslem hands to the present
day.
There will be no repetition of Mos
lem conquests of the past, but if the
Jehad is preached by the Iheik ell Islam
and the green banner of the Prophet is
unfurled, it will be a signal for mas
sacre over large part of Asia, Africa
and Eastern Europe. No regard will
be paid to the rights of ambassadors,
consuls or other representatives, and
every Christian nation will be clamor-
ing for redress. But the Turkish gov
eminent will be able to give no redress.
1t might be swept away, and probably
would be swept away but the fanatics
would remain, and could only be res
trained by showers of shells or moved
down by repeated volleys of rife bull
let's.
1t is this fear of a general Moham-
medan uprising which has always COM
plicated the so-called Eastern Cues
ton" The Turkish government is bad
enough but it is weak, corrupt and can
be coerced. 1t has some respect from
the Mohammedan world. Remove the
Turkish government, and conditions
may be worse than they are now. 1t
may be that a struggle will be for the
general benefit Of the world but there

ly no doubt of being rewarded by a
material heaven if they can only send
some Christians to Jehannum before
them. The world has forgotten all
about religious fanaticism, but 1T is a
power which has still to be reckoned
with. 1t is a power stronger than even
the love Of country, which is one of the
most powerful of motives. 1t is a
power which makes men meet death
with an absolutely fearless aspect, 1t

In the trouble in Turkey it is not

Not We'll PatronIxed,

The Thomas Tours and Concert Co.
was unfortunate upon the occasion of
its visit to this city in this receiving a
poor patronage, which necessitated the
cancelliug of the last date of the series
OF entertainments. The company came
here under the auspices of the M. E
society, and the engagement was not 9
paying proposition for either the COM
pauy or the society. The entertain
ments given by the company are OF a
high class, and 1t is to be regretted
that the Willmar engagement was not
a success. The lack OF patronage was
partly due to the busy season just pre-.
vious to Christmas, when as a general
rule the public devote most of their
evenings to holiday shopping.
The Thomas Company left here on
Friday afternoon for Minneapolis.
From there the members will leave on
q trip to southern points and expect
to be in St. Louis by the FIRST of April.
