OFFICIALS REFUSE
 TO RESIGN PLACES
PUBLIC PRINTER ASKS FoREMEN TO RESIGN BECAUSE OF GER TAIN UNSPEcIFIED ACTS OF IN- REORGANIZATION.

washington, September 2.-Public Print CT Palmer has requested the resignat1ons of Oscar J. Ricketts, foreman of print ing. and l.. C. Hay, foreman of the job division of the government printing office, basing his action upon their alleged con tinued acts of insubordination. Both officials have refused to comply with the request on the ground that they are not required to do so until furnished with specific instances of insubordination, and given sufficient opportunity for reply as required by the civil service regulations.
 MT. Ricketts tonight issued a brief statement of the case, at the same speak ing in behalf of MT. Hay. His statement says:
 That acting under his advice he does not feel at liberty at the present time to give the public the correspondence in con nection with this matter and can only say that MT. Palmer has requested the resignation of these two officials because of their alleged continued acts of insub- ordination without specifying any act on the part of either of them which would in any way constitute insubordnation-
 "They insist that the public printer has not compiled with the civil service regu- latons which provide that specific alle- gations or causes should be made when any officer is asked to resign or when 1t Is proposed to relieve said officer from his position. They say that they have at all times in the course of their long ser vice in the government printing office been loyal to their chief and to the best interests of the United States.
 "They know of no reason why this re- quest should be made at this time, unless i. 1t arises from the fact that they were called as witnesses and testified in the matter of the investigation of the pur- chase of certain typesetting machines, and in that respect they gave evidence fair 1y and honestly as they were obliged to do under their oaths.
 ''rhey have declined to comply with the
 request for their resignations and have submitted the matter to the civil service commission, and to the President of the United States, and believe that full and complete investigation of the situation will result in their being exonerated from any charges made against them by the public printer"

Meridian, Miss. September 2.-(Special) A long-distance telephone message from Beech Springs in Neshoba county re. lates that yesterday morning pr. H. H. Henderson was shot by John Henson, farmer of that locality, and seriously wounded It appears that some ugly ru- mors have been current in the neighbor- hood for some time associating Dr. Hen derson's name with that of Mrs. Hinson, and yesterday morning the husband armed himself with a double-barreled shot gun and meeting the doctor in the public road fired upon him, infilcting wounds in the shoulder and chest.
 Hinson at once disappeared, but 1t is assumed that he will return and stand trial for the shooting.

 EEK U. s. deposits, $7, 6s7 100; decrease, ss,- 457775.
 New York, September 2.-The Finaneier says;
 The striking feature of the official state ment of the New York associated banks last week was the important decrease in l the cash reserve to within s3A,700 of the lowest of the year. A large loss of cash was foreshadowed during the week by the almost daily transfers of currency for Chicago and New Orleans. which indi- cated heavy direct shipments. and the extent of the loss was pretty accurately disclosed on Friday by the estimates that were based upon the traceable movements of money for the week. It may be noted that the surplus reserve is computed upon the basis of general deposits, while the surplus as calculated upon the basis of deposits, less those of public funds. against which no reserve is required ac- cording to the ruling of the secretary of the treasury, is little more than two millions greater as shown by the table which follows:
 The cash loss indicates by the bank statement was $7103,50o, which sum cor responds very closely to the preliminary estimates The deposits were reduced in consequence of this loss of cash, and the decrease of $7677l00 in loans by l4496,S0O which it may be observed is only $29S, 800 less than the sum of the reduction Ill loans and the loss of cash therefore the statement made a good balance.
 Deducting $3,624,200, the amount of the reserve required against general depos- it's from the above stated losses of cash. leaves S3,479SOO as the decrease in sur plus reserve to $5,4SS,S75. which as above stated was within $344, 700 of the lowest of the year as recorded March IS. Com uputed, however, on the basis of deposits less those of $S5529 300 public funds, the surplus is $7,6311O0. Circulation was in- creased $7s4SOO making a gain in this item since July 29 of $4,290, ,900 On March IS when the surplus reserve was at the lowest point of the year, the cash hold ings were $l,6l7,90O greater than they were last week, loans were nine and a quarter millions smaller and deposits were sever and four-ffth millions more. The daily average of bank clearings last week was s276, 900 against $262 100000 in the pre- vious week, the clearings on Saturday re- fecting Fridays business were S37S, ,574, ,042 Comparisons of changes in loans by indi- vidual banks show that eleven institu- tions reduced this item by eight million net; eight banks lost five and two-fifth millions net cash

bill prepared by Hon. R. w. Walker and introduced at the last session.
 Having rendered Judge Walker some little assistance in the preparation of the bill, 1 am familiar with it's contents and say without hesitation that while it is thoroughly conservative in that it is an epitome of the best charters in ex- istence in the state 1t also contains pro- visions which have been successfully tried elsewhere, and on the whole is a distinct forward step in municipal reform, adjust ed to the new constitution.
 "The bill was printed and passed the house by an overwhelming vote, but was defeated in the senate on a close vote, but what grounds I have never under stood. I am satisfied that a perusal of the bill will confirm what I have said. Very respectfully yours,

 The Insurance Press in a recent issue makes the statement that such d disas- ter the one on the gunboat Benning- ton shocks a nation and the casualty list in a Russian-Japanese battle makes the blood of the people run cold but the public is apparently not effected by the numerous fatalities occurring annually on the railroads in this country.
 The effective fight being carried on by the i physicians against the yellow fever in New Orleans has relieved the situation of much of it's seriousness from an in- suranee point of view. Many of the strongest companies are still writing pol icies in the Crescent City and the proba- blity Is that none of them will be heavy ! losers. The great majority of the fatal cases of fever Is among the Itlians and persons whose lives are not insured.
 Birmingham proper is not affordng as great opportunities for the insurance agent now as the outlying districts. The hot weather has always effected insurance more or less In the larger cities. The state agents and district managers sta toned al Birmingham are directing their attention to the smaller towns throughout the state. w. H.
