sHAW'S CALL FOR MONEY.
1t Is Not Expected to Reduce the
Amount in Circulation.

Washington, July 14.-In the opin-
ion Of the officials of the treasury de-
partment the amount of money in
actual circulation will not be de-
creased materially by the eleven mill
lions to be paid in under Secretary
Shaw's call which natures tomorrow.
1t is believed that rs per cent if not all
of the sum derived from this, the Sec
ond installment or the call, will at
once go into national bank circulation.
That was true of the sum paid into the
treasury by national banks under the
first installment which matured in
January. The secretary's call was for
20 per cent of the government de-
posits: It was divided into two parts
maturing January Is and July 1.
The time for the payment of the
second installment was extended to
July Is but the full amount cannot
be received from the subtreasuries be-
fore Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week. The first division of the call
yielded about $13, 100000 and later
about $4,500,000 were paid in by banks
which anticipated the second INSTALL
ment. The total call amounts to about
$29, 100000 leaving a balance of about
81, 100000 due under the division
maturing tomorrow.

SUES FOR HIS MONEY.
John Mitchell Also Wants Damages
From First National.

John Mitchell, miner living at
Scranton, Kansas, filed suit in the dis
trict court late yesterday afternoon
against the defunct First National
bank for S3,762 which he had on de-
posit there and $1,000 damages for the
reason that he thinks he sustained that
much damage by being deprived of
the use of his money.
The bank officials say that Mitchell
has no money on deposit and they
have the certificate of deposit to show
that the money was withdrawn. Mitch
ell lost the deposit slip and it may be
that some one forged NitchelPs name
and got the money!
