WITH BLOODY HANDS
tngIand SIaughers the Full

Territory.
(By the Associated Press.)

London. May 12.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain announced in the House OF
Commons today that a result of the Brit
ish military operations in the Sokoto and
Kano districts ending with the capture OF
the Emir of Kano, 100000 square miles of
territory had been added to Northern
Nigeria and would be administered by
the government of that territory.
Interesting details have been received
here of the capture of Sokoto, March IA,
by the British column commanded By
Colonel Morland. The engagement last
ed two hours and a half The British
numbered about 500 men with four quick
firing guns and four Maxims. The enemy 5
horse and foot were estimated to num-
Der some six thousand men, their riflemen
being armed with modern rifles and using
smokeless powder. The British camped
during the night of March 13 one and
one half miles from SoHoto, after hard
march of 100 miles from Kaura with but
little water and having passed through
difficult country. AT daybreak, March
18th, the British moved out in square
formation towards the valley in which
Solloto lies. Immediately after the Brit
ish appeared over a ridge the Fulanis
charged with fanatical bravery unde-
tered by whitening maxim and rifle
fire. They had no proper leadership, but
the isolated bands continued to advance
over heaps of dead and dying, often only
individuals reaching within a yard of the
square, where refusing quarter, they were
shot down while shouting, "AIlah," :"
Allah" with their last breath. The
main body OF the natives were finally
routed, leaving remnant of about thirty
chiefs around the Emir's great white flag.
These chiefs We're defiant to the last and
their corpses yere found hedging the

FOR ASSET CURRENCY
Gage Argues for This. De-
claring the Money Sup
ply insufficient.
(By the Associated Press.)

Sherman, Texas, May 12.-The Texas
Bankers Association met here today and
listened to the reading of number of let
tiers from prominent bankers in other
States.
One of the letters was from ex-Secretary
of the Treasury, Lyman ]. Gage, who dis
cussed the question, rs the money supply
of the United States sufficient
Il answer the question" he said, "by
expressing the very grave douD. whether il
be adequate in volume, and a clear con-
viction that it is not economical in char
acter. The provisions for supply ought ia
have reference to recurring needs, respond
ing IN volume when occasions for use oi
currency are the greatest and retiring
naturally as the requirements grow less
exacting.''
He argued for credit or asset currency
saying that he was well aware that deer
prejudices exists against either, "but an
honorable history of such currency for a
generation in several States, and history
Of several generations abroad, fully Justify
the belief that with some reasonable and
just guards around it, we can gain the ad
vantage OF an adequate currency without
any risk or disaster, or the loss OF a single
dollar
He asserted that the following PROPOSE
ton could be successfully supported:
l. Such currency is required in the in.
terests of the whole country.
2. The protection of the note holder
against depreciation or loss may be made
entirely adequate.
8. There need be no dangerous credit
expansion through bank note issues if
reasonable limitation be imposed as to vol
ume, and a proper system of central re.
demption provided
4. Such currency would go far toward
arresting the annually recurring anxiety
occasioned by the impairment Of bank re-
serves, called into temporary use as they
are to serve as medium of circulation in
the movements of crop harvesting.
5. 1t would tend to steady the rates
of interest in the central cities and pre-
vent the violent and costly perturbations
between money sa drug" and "money
impossible to borrow" and thus save the
individual investors the great losses now
so frequently experienced by reason of
fluctuations in the money market.
6. 1t would be in the interest especiallv
of the agricultural classes, affording them
as 1t would an adequate supply of a safe
medium of exchange and pay
ment, on terms more favorable than they
could otherwise enjoy.
