ALDRICH BILL OPPOSED
BY CHICAGO BANKERS
What They Object to Is the 1N Per
Cent Clause.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Unless the IA
per cent tax clause of the Aldrich bill
is eliminated a strong fight against
the bill will be made by Chicago bank
ers. This decision was arrived at to-
day after conference, and instruc-
tions were wired to Illinois represen-
tatives In Washington. The follow
ing is the substance of the telegram:
"The Aldrich bill, If passed as it now
stands, in our opinion, will cause an
immediate repayment by the banks Of
a large amount of the government de-
posits which they now hold, resulting
in contraction of resources now in use
and in reduction in the market value
of government bonds which will be
withdrawn and sold. National banks
cannot now afford to carry as an in
vestment government or such other
bonds as the bill calls for, and there
would be actual loss to them to do
so under the terms of the bill on gov
ernrnent deposits at 1 " per cent. Few,
if any, Western banks could or would,
in our opinion. avail themselves of
the supposed privileges of the bill at
that rate Of interest. There would
be a loss to them and no advantage to
the public in so doing. We urge you
to oppose the bill, which would hamp-
er instead of help present financial
conditions, unless the interest clause
is struck out"

Barrett, Mimi, and A. J. Nilsson, OF
Barrett, MINI. All three went to bed
last night at 1880. o'clock. The clerk
states positively that he warned them
not to blow out the gas. They left
word to be called at $50 this morning.
At that hour the porter knocked at this
door where the men were sleeping, but
received no answer. There was smell
of gas in the corridor, which aroused
the fears of the porter. He pounded
on the door two or three times, and
then attempted to open it. The door
was locked. Without waiting for fur
ther orders he put his shoulders against
the door and sprung the lock.
The sight that met his eye was a
startling one, but the smell Of gas was
so strong in the room that he could not
remain in it, All three men were lying
as still as death, stretched fiat on their
backs. One had fallen out of bed and
was on the floor, as If he had struggled
against the effects of the suffocating
gas. Doctors worked all the morning
on the victims, but have little hope of
saving their lives.
Feb. 2S.-At / o'clock this morning
the trio were still living, but the ef-
forts Of the doctors failed to restore
consciousness.

discussion in the interest of harmony

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 27.-
Bishop ]. M. Hamilton, of the Metho-
dist church, in an address delivered
last night, practically declared himself
In favor of marriage as means of
removing race lines. The speech has
caused much comment among Metho.-
dists. He said he had often married
whites to blacks and Chinese and had
no prejudice against such marriages.
He continued:
You may shudder at the idea Of
such intermarriage, and 1t is natural
that you should; but such unions are
an illustrator of the sweeping away of
caste lines which should occur in the
church and which are occurring in the
world"
He was asked today If he would con-
sent to have his daughter wed a negro,
and replied that he would If the general
prejudice against such a union could be
removed. Bishop Hamilton is a native
of Virginia.

DISCUSS LOCAL MEASURES.
Ramsey Delegation Returns Favorable
Report on Road and Bridge Bill.

ramsey DeIe9arlOn returns FaVOfdpI0
Report on Road and Bridge Bill.
The Ramsey county house delegation
last night spent nearly four hours in
the discussion Of local measures and
measures of local application. Four
Of the dozen bills considered will be
recommended out for passage Mon
day.
The measure of most Importance to
st. Paul favorably decided upon is the
road and bridge fund bill, which not
alone provides for road and bridge
work in excess of $500 being done by
competitive contract, but which au-
thorizes the expenditure of 20 per cent
Of the fund on roads within the city
limits.
Urder the present law the city pays
90 per cent Of the 1-mill tax which con-
stitutes the road and bridge fund, but
not one cent of the fund can be ex-
pended within the city limits. Numer-
Gus roads on the outskirts are in bad
condition. The abutting property, al
though plated, is not of sufficient VAL
ue to bear the necessary tax for i'm
provement and in some cases country
trade is detected because the roads in
side the limits are so bad.
Lemons bill legalizing the furnishing
of stationery and offices for county
officials was also recommended for
pdSScLSS. AAS JuOSS VI pIOOdOS anu
county surveyors salary bills were dis
cussed by Judge Bazille, Surveyor Ir-
vine and Assistant County Attorney
O'Neil. Both bills will eventually be
recommended for passage, but last
night it was decided to hold them until
all the bills affecting county salaries
are before the committee. The survey
or's bill will probably be amended to
provide a straight salary Of $4,000 a
year, instead of $4,000, inclusive OF
travelling expenses, as contemplated by
the present bill.
Chinnock's salary loan regulation
bill was discussed and will receive the
unanimous Endorsement of the commit
tee after an imprisonment penalty has
been added to make applicable the SUI
preme court decisions on the Somer-
vile law.
