This simply shows conditions peculiar to
pairment in any sense. Though the CLEAR
fng-house does not recognize in its state
ments. except incidentally, the permissible
elimination Of reserve requirements against
Government deposits. It seems clear that
some of the individual banks are taking ad-
vantage of the permission given by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury and take no ac-
count of reserve against public deposits.
The Indications last week pointed to a
speedy beginning OF the return flow of
money to this center from the Interior. I'm
less Subtreasury operations shall again
largely absorb cash from the banks, these
institutions may be expected In the near
future TO show gains in cash and gradual
Improvement in reserve conditions.

WOMANSLAYS A NEGRO
MRS. B. LANE SHOOTS JOHN
 WATKINS.
Brave Woman Put Two Loads of Buckshot Into Black After He Had Attempted to Mur-
 der Her.

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. LA special to The Age-HeraId from Deatsville says:
 This morning at 11:sO o'clock Mrs. B. Lane of this place shot and killed John Watkins, a negro.
 The Lane homestead is about mile and a half from here. This morning Watkins, who is employed on the place, thinking that all had left home, proceed ed to ransack the house. Mrs. Lane caught him in the act of robbery and made the negro angry. Mrs. Lane, being the only one on the place at the time, she became alarmed and left the house and came to her fathers home here. The negro took one of Mir. Lanes mules, a -barreled shot gun, and started af- ter Mrs. Lane. Mrs. Lane beat him to her fathers house, but when she got to the door the negro rode up to the gate and opened fire upon her. Fortunately, he missed his mark, but broke the glass in the door.
 Mrs. Lane then stepped inside. and, get ting a double-barrelled shot gun, returned the negro's fire. The gun being loaded with only bird shot, had no effect upon the negro. Then Mrs. Lane reloaded her gun with buckshot and emptied both bar rels into him. killing him instantly.
 The remains of the negro lay where they had fallen until this afternoon, waiting for the coroner.
 Watkins was an ex-convlct, having served three years in the penitentiary.

HAD sTRING TO IT.
Castro's Acceptance Not Satisfactory
 to Washington.

S&SS&S - ADSScRSe@ASS SeNS to Washington.
 Washington. Jan. 1.-The retoinders or the European foreign offices to President Castro's reply to their arbitration pro- posals have not reached Washington. This, however. occasions no surprise as the holidays are much more closely ob- served in European capitals than in Wash ington. Following the rule which 1t has adopted in the treatment of correspond ence passing between Venezuela and the allies ,the State Department still declines to make public any information respect ing the details of President Castro's re- ply, but inquiry confirms the Associated Press report from Rome to the effect that Castro did attach c condition to the ac- ceptance of the arbitration proposal, and that condition was not indcrsed by the Washington government. However. 1t Is pointed out that 1t has not been regarded as necessary at the State Department to either approve of the propositions now in exchange between the principals. As to conditions attached to the acceptance, it can be stated that they are not of great consequence. nor are they likely to involve the loss of the arbitration project for they are understood to relate rather to the means of getting the issue to arbitration than to any substantial principle involved.

New York. Jan. 1.--Henry Goodman, U years old. was arrested just before mid- night. charged with having attempted fo cut off young woman's hand to obtain the diamond rings displayed on her ing CTS. The attack was, made in the fu1f view of scores of merry-mAkers. incIuS- ing the woman's escort.
 Miss May Matthews and Miss May Low is started out with their escorts for an automobile ride. and later went to sup per. It was after il o'clock when tha start was made for home.

THINKS ALL
 WILL BE WELL Castro Says He is Anxious for Peace. BLOCKADE DEMoRALIZNG Washington Not Satisfied with
 Venezuelan Acceptance. Said That the President of the South American Republic Has Tied
 Too Many Strings to His Agreement.
BLOCKADE DEMoRALIZNG

Caracas. Jan. 1.-The report current in Willemstad. Curacao, that the government sustained a defeat in the recent fight with the revolutionists at Barquisimeto is untrue. The Government was victo- rious at Barquisinneto and that town as well as San Carlos and Tinaquiiio was recaptured from the rebels as was duly reported in these dispatches.
 There have been persistent rumors in official circles andN generally throughout Caracas since yesterday that President Castro had refused to agree to the pro- posals of the allies to refer the Vene- zueian issues to The Hague. The cores pondent of the Associated Press saw the President of Venezuela this afternoon It is not true that the President has de- clined the proposals of the powers: the Chief Executive declares he wants only fair treatment. It was clear from what President Castro said at the interview that he believes that it. would be easy to reach full settlement of the entire con- troversy.
 He said: "If a settlement is not reach ed 1t will be because settlement forms no part of the plans of the allies; in this case the prolongation of the present sit uation would be disastrous for all con- cerned. The solution of the present difi- culty depends more on the allied powers than on Venezuela"
 The President was asked as to whether or not he would renounce the Presidency and whether 1t was his purpose to make a change in the present cabinet. He re- piled: People are at liberty to talk whatever nonsense they want to; I will make Q change in the cabinet when the present Barious question is ended"

FUNSTON ON PLAoIDo.
The Two Participated in the Capture
 of Aguinaldo.

-
 Denver. Colo, Jan. 1.-Manila dis patches received at the headquarters of the army of the Colorado in this city state that Hilario Placido. Filipino. l. who aided General Funston in the capture of Aguinaldo. has been sentenced to life Imprisonment for murder. Details of the crime are lacking. but General Fun ston and other army officers here who know the scout believe that the crime was committed since they left the island. as 1t does not seem probably that Piacido could have been called to account for something done during the time he was engaged as an active participant in the revolution.
 In speaking of PIacido, General Funston said: He was never my spy and the only money he ever received from the United States was for the part he took in the capture of Aguinaido. He fought against the Spaniards and then took up arms against the United States. In 1899 he was severely wounded, being shot through the lung. He recovered and again took an active part in the war. The following year he surrendered at the same time that General Garcia did He was prisoner for about three months and then I released him. He took the oath of allegiance and oftentimes of his own volition gave me information regard ing the enemy. He was not spy in the sense of the word that he was in the governments employ nor did he ever go into their lines for informations for our use.
 "when I arranged the plan for the capture for Aguinaldo I took Placido along He did not know the object of the expedition until we were well under way. I then explained my plan to him and he agreed to help me In order to carry out the scheme he became the nominal commander of the expedition as 1t was necessary to make the natives to believe that we Americans were prisoners. When we reached the camp of Aguinaldo Placido rushed in and threw his former chief on the floor of the hut and held him there until we made him & prisoner"
