NEW IDEA.
Kansas City Mans Plan Being Put
Into Form of a Bill for Congress-.
Kansas City Times.

Kansas City Times.
A suggestion for an act Of Congress
which would provide a more elastic cur
assistant treasurer of the Fidelity Trust
Company, of this city. Mr.. Cookies bill
was prepared at the invitation of Con-
gresham Calderhead of Kansas, chairman
OF the House committee on banking and
currency, who is working on a bill of this
nature.
Mr.. Cookies plan provides for the issu-
ance by banks of notes based on their as
sets, In addition TO those based on deposits
with the government. Its purpose is to
solve the problem of putting money into
circulation to handle crops, and in the
spring. when money is needed on short
notice for planting.
The safeguard provided. which is the i'm
portant feature of the bill, is the Iegula-
ton that such notes can be paid out only
by the issuing bank. and are redeemable
by any bank, which then collects from the
issuing institution. In regard to this feat
ure Mr.. Cooke had a conversation with
William y. Ridgely, controller of the cur
rency. at San Francisco. last week. Mr..
Cooke quoted Mr.. Ridgely as saying then
that he believed the compulsory redemption
of notes issued on assets was desirable and
would tend to insure their safety by pre-
venting overissues.
The first section of the bill prepared by
Mr.. Cooke Is as follows:
ANY national bank association organized
under the laws Of the United States shall,
If its capital he wholly paid up and unim-
DdiCQ, W tlflillCu, MllllOul utDOSll VI Oult-
ed States bonds or other security, to receive
from the controller of the currency notes
for circulation to an amount not exceeding
its capital stock less any notes outstanding
secured by deposit of United States bonds"
The bill provides the government shall
have a first lien on the assets of the bank,
as a guarantee that all such notes, based
upon the assets, will be paid. Mr.. Cooke
said yesterday that in Canada, where a
similar plan is followed, the deposit OF a
sum equal to 8 per cent. of the notes issued
has been found to be ample guarantee of
the payment of all.
These notes would be issued by a bank
when there was need for an immediate in
crease in the circulating medium. They
would be redeemable by any bank, but
they could not be put into circulation again
except by the bank which issued them.
The Kansas City bank. for instance, which
received a note which had been issued by
a Fort Scott bank, would be compelled 10
collect the note from the Fort Scott insti-
tuition. Thus, as soon as the notes had
fulfilled their purpose, they would be
withdrawn from circulation. They would
operate in the same way as private checks.
1t is said that the life OF such notes
would average about four weeks.
Neither Mr.. Ridgely nor / have any
idea that any measure so radical can be
enacted for some time to come,' said Mr..
Cooke. but it is al ideal to be kept in
mind

SAYS 1T is SPITE WORK
ARREST OF FRANK d. POOR ON THE
CHARGE OF FRANZ LARCENY.
President of the Seattle Citizens
Light md Power Company Accused
of WrOngdOing at New York.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 5.-Frank 3.
Poor. president Of the Citizens Light and
Power Company, recently organized as a
rival of a company of the same name,
which was incorporated in New Jersey,
was arrested to-day on a bench warrant is
sued from the Court Of General Sessions,
New York city, charging him with grand
larceny in the first degree.
The specific charge alleged is that Poor,
while a partner in the banking house OF
Marquand & Co., New York city, appro-
priated to his own use nine $1,000 Iron
Mountain mortgage bonds and subsequently
fled the country, coming to Seattle. The al
legged misappropriation is said to have been
committed on June 26, 1901. An indictment
by the grand jury was obtained on the 18TH
OF October last. Poor's bond was fixed at
was furnished promptly.
The Citizens Light Company, OF which
Poor was president. was n selling company
that obtained all its gas from the Seattle
Gas and Electric Company and also used
that company's mains. 1t sold gas at a
much lower rate than Its parent company in
competition with the other company of the
same name which had been doing business
In Seattle under a New Jersey charter for
several days. Poor claims the arrest Is
spite work.
Poor, who was arrested in Seattle to-day,
was, to the time of the failure of Marquand
DC Co.. of New York, a junior partner in
the concern. He was a son of the late Ed
ward h. Poor, OF New York, president Of
the National Park Bank. Frank b. Poor
organized the Hackensack Trust Company
and consolidated the electric lighting and
gas lighting concerns in Bergen county.
He organized an ice company. which put
up a $4,000 plant, was president of the
Hackensack Board of Trade from its incep-
tioi. and bought large tracts of land In
Hackensack, which he developed. When
the house of Marquand q Co. went down
Mr.. Poor lost everything. He sold two
handsome houses which he owned here,
and made his home in Connecticut. Later
his wife headed a grocery firm, of which he
was the manager. Six months ago Mr..
Poor went to Seattle to take a position with
a lighting plant.

rural delivery. and we should give It to
them" he said. Representative Holiday
will confer with postal officials tomorrow
relative to the establishment Of additional
routes in his district. He believes the con-
dition of the roads in Hendricks, Putnam
and Parke ~justifies the establishment of a
general system in those counties.
Representative Holiday is modest in dis
cussing his preferences as TO as
signments. He is content to remain on the
committee on pensions, but would welcome
a transfer from war claims. If Jesse Over
street, of indianapolis, leaves the commit
portant assignments, Mr.. Holiday would
like to be assigned to that committee.
Mr.. Holiday has taken quarters at the
Ebbitt House.
Representative Hemenway participated in
a conference of the House leaders held at
the Capitol to-day. He said that questions
affecting the organization of the House

of an extremely delicate operation success
fully performed some time ago by DR.. Hal
c. wyman. When Seidel was first taken
to Emergency Hospital his life was dis
pared of. and. indeed. hung I'm the balance
for many days. Ultimately, he got well
and was discharged. but later became
afflicted with epileptic fits. Knowing the
cause, IL was possible TO attempt a cure,
and DIR. Wyman thought himself justified
In so doing. He placed his patient under
the influence OF an anesthetic and removed
a considerable portion OF the skull over the
original hurt. He found. as he thought.
that the active brain cells and the sur
rounding membranes had adhered and
hence were hindered in their controlling
action upon the muscular system. This
caused the epilepsy. The doctor carefully
separated each cell. taking precautions
which have apparently since resulted In
their continued restoration TO a healthful
state. AT any rate. the operation occurred
several months ago and there has since
been no return OF the disease.
