RIDDLED BY RIFLE BULLETS

Asheyille, N C.. Nov. i5.--Fighting with all the desperation of a man at bay the negro, Will Harris. the five times murderer, fell today. riddled with bullets from the rifles of officers and citizens in the woods near Fletcher. He died giving shot Tor shot, until his last cartridge was expended.
 Ns--At T o'clock this morning a report reached the city that blsodheunds had followed the scent 70 Beuna Vista, eight miles from ASheville, and that the animals had loss ft there, ewing to the Interruption from farmers dogs. Three posses of officers and citizens immediately set out for Buena Vista, and there it was learned that the me- gro desperado had been seen leaving barn just before dayoreak.
 The posse was divired into squads, taking separate routes. Two of these secured Blake's woods. Che deployed 10 the left. while another was left guarding the road.
 The negro was sighted in Blake's Woods, and the signal agreed upon warned the searchers that the quarry had ybeen run to earth. Again, the rifles rang out and the fleeing form of negro who carried a rife emerged from the Blake property and ran across the high road to field across which he made for the woods and was seem- ingly swallowed up.
 The posses quickly closed in, and a fusilade of shots from the woods ton minutes later told the inhabitants that justice had been done and that the murderer of two policemen and three innocent megroes had been avenged.
 At 2:30 the posse arrived in Ashe- viile with the body of the dead negro. Main street was blocked with a crowding. shouting mass of men and women to see the outlaws corpse. The sheriff and his men guarded the door way of the undertaking establishment with loaded rifles and the crowd later dispersed Tonight all is quiet.

 James R. Branch, Secretary of the American Bankers Association and Secretary of the Currency Cemmittee, made a statement giving the opinion of the members of the Bankers Com- mittee of the operations of the pro- posed bill. This statement sets out the following: E3
 Secretarysa Statement.
 '"The provision limiting the issue of credit notes to 70 per cent of the bond secured circulation and net exceeding 25 per cent of the capital stock. Is for he purpose of preventing any tendency by banks to sell Government bonds now held to secure circulation. Such action is taken because 1t is desired that the measure proposed, if enacted, shall not tend to depress the market for. Government bonds. No part of the issues of banks are to be specially pledged to secure the credit notes, but they are to be protected by the same legal reserve now required against de- posits--in reserve cities, 25 per cent, and in country banks. 15 per cent.
 The members of the committee think the claim of the credit notes of failed bank upon its assets should be given a lien to that of the depositOrs. but that the guaranty fund with the addition of a pro rata claim on the assets with the deposItors, would afford adequate pro- tection."
 Final adjournment of tho committee was taken today.
