TRIES AN ELASTIC
CURRENCY SAMPLE.
Secretary Shaw Aids American Finan-
ciers with SIS, 900, 900 Cir
cuIation

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Secretary
Shaw, who is in this city, authorized the
announcement last night of the inaugu-
ration of a form of elastic currency
based ON additional bank note circula
ton which will have to be called in at the
rate of $3,OOO,OOO a month before Au-
gust 10 next He also said that after
today government deposits to facilitate
gold importations would be discontinued.
Mr.. ShaW's action in regard to bank
note circulation will stimulate it to the
extent of $1S,OQO,OOO. He will accomp-
lsh this by accepting approved securities
other than government bonds to this
amount for deposits already made. the
bonds released to be used Immediately
as basis Of circulation without with
drawal from the treasury.
Must Be Retired in 1907.
He does not object to the assignment
of the bonds to banks other than those
now holding them, but to insure their
use they must remain in the treasury,
and in addition the bank taking out the
circulation must agree to retire the same
between March Is and August 10, 1907.
The banks will be required, when TAX
ing out their circulation, to make appH-
cation for its retirement, and the order
or per cent. will be determined by the
treasury.
In this way the millions of additional
circulation can be issued Immediately and
gradually retired during the spring and
summer months. In this way also Sec
rotary Shaw expects to demonstrate, in
limited form, the benefits of an elastic
currency.
Has It's Share of Gold.
Concerning the announcement that de-
posits to facilitate gold importations will
10
portations had exceeded his expectations,
that he believed for the present America
had quite it's share and that he had no
disposition to disturb conditions in Eu-
rope.
This action undoubtedly will be re-
ceived by England with relief.
James w. Henning, who was sus-
pended from the stock exchange yester-
day says friends have come to his aid
and he will resume business probably
within a very short time.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. %
Acting Secretary Keep of the treasury
says that applications for increase in
tary Shaw's offer will be favorably
acted on in the order in which they are
received. If, however, a national bank
should apply for an increase of two or
three millions or even less, it probably
would be necessary in the interest Of
smaller banks, to grant the application
as to only a part and so extend the
privileges to more banks.
London Gratifed, Indeed.
LONDON, Oct 23.-Trading on the
stock exchange this morning opened
dull but Immediately after the tenor
of Secretary Shaw's plan to relieve the
American money market became known
prices improved.
The bankers express favorable opin-
ions of Mr.. Shaw's arrangement for the
acceptance of $1S,OOO,OOO in securities
other than government bonds in order
to stimulate bank note circulation, re-
garding this as likely to be a more elias
tic plan of relieving stringency than is
the releasing of treasury funds.

GRAIN COMBINE
FIXED ALL PRICES.
Kansas City Dealer Tells Sensational
Story in the Trust Hearing
There.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 23.-In
the grain trust hearing today, B. r..
Beall of Kansas City, of the National
Grain and Elevator company, which is
affiliated with the National Board of
Trade of Kansas City, a rival of the
Kansas City Board of Trade, said that
both were boycotting each other. Ills
company has sold probably 100000
bushels of grain, none of which he was
able to sell in Kansas City because OF
these restrictions.
How Grain Combine Worked.
Asked if his company had exper-
fenced any trouble from the Kansas City
board of trade or from any railway IN
moving it's grain outside of Kansas City,
Mr.. Beall said the Illinois Central ele-
vators at New Orleans placed an en-
barge of 51a cents a bushel on his grain.
He also testified:
His grain on this particular shipment was
all snort in weight III the elevator from
1000 to 1000 pounds to the car,
He did not consider it safe for his com
pany to put it's grain through any elevator
operated by persons interested in the Kan
sas City board of trade.
IA Prices Fixed Arbitrarily.
In 1904 a combination was in existence to
agree upon the price to be paid by the
members of the Kansas City board of trade
for wheat, and the Kansas City elevators
were in the deal, including an Armour CON
Germ. Beall belonged one day and with
drew. Prices were fixed every morning
arbitrarily on the basis of the Chicago
option and a margin sufficient to insure Il
profit to members of the combine.
Members of the National Board Of Trade
were blacklsted by the Chicago, Mime
apoIis and Kansas City boards of trade; the
Kansas City board interfered with all ship
ments Of grain belonging to the national
that passed through Kansas City, claiming
the right to weigh all grain coming into
town.
Mr.. Beall named ten members of the
Kansas City board of trade whom he
asserted had refused to buy grain from
his company, giving as an excuse that
tn : feared expulsion from their board.

succeed in convincing that organization
that challenge for the cup under the
present rule of measurement would be
acceptable to it. If the New York
Yacht club consents to race under its
present rule, it is likely that Sir
Thomas will challenge with Shamrock

be the Constitution, which is said to
fit the rule better than the Reliance.

FEES EXPECTED NOT IN SIGHT
Judge Frater Will Not Sign Their Ger

Not Cash Warrants If He Does
Witness in Same Fix.

SEATTLE, Sept. ,2S,-The physicians
who formed the medical committee that
made the finding that Esther Mitchell
and Maude Hurt Creffield are insane,
are wondering where their pay for IL
days services in conducting the exam
nation is coming from. Since the com
mission closed its labors the members
of it have been endeavoring to secure
the signature of Judge Frater to an
order allowing them a fat fee for their
services. Judge Frater has shown no
desire to sign the order. Even If the
physicians succeed in, getting the judges
signature they will be as far as ever
from obtaining any money for their la
bors. If Judge Frater should sign the
order, Prosecuting Attorney Mackin-
tosh will advise the county clerk not
to issue certificates calling for county
warrants, on the ground that the com
mittee was an illegal body, appointed
by Judge Frater without any authority
of law.
Drs Eames, Turner and Snively, who
composed the commission. must wait
until the Supreme Court passes upon
the legality of Judge Floter's action.
Then they may be able to get $40
fee for each days service,
Witnesses who were called before the
committee to testify are in the same
position as the physicians; they cannot
secure any order for their witness fees
and may never tStain any pay if the
Supreme Court should decide that Judge
Frater had acted illegally.
