OPPOSE THE NEW
CURRENCY PLAN

OMAHA, Nov 22.-The Nebraska
Bankers Association went on record
today as opposed to the plan of cur
rency reform proposed by the commit
tee of the American Bankers Associa-
tion. The committee on resolutions
made its report this afternoon and pre-
cipitated a very lively debate. 1t was
participated in by President Forgan,
vice president of the First National
Bank of Chicago. member of the
American Bankers Association commit
tee. which formulated the plan of re-
form. The report says in part:
That we are opposed to the issue in
time of financial peace, like the present.
of any banknote currency, except that
now authorized. secured by a deposit of
United States bonds
That we favor legislation by Con
gress authorizing the issue of an emer-
gency circulation, which will be taxed
so heavily that it could not be issued
except in time of great commercial
stringency and impending panic, and
would be retired when the conditions
requiring its issue no longer existed

CLEVELAND MAY Be
CHOSEN SENATOR
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

PATERSON, N. j.. Nov. 22.-Either
Grover Cleveland or Woodrow Wilson
of Princeton may be brought forward
as the Democratic candidate for United
States Senator. 1t is well known among
the leaders of the party that Edwin H.
Stevens, who was the only active can
didate before the primaries, will not
have the clear sailing that some of his
friends in Hudson County expect. The
effort of Stevens TO have the Demo-
cratic State committee indorse him
was unsuccessful and there are those
who believe that the refusal of the
committee to take action at that time
was because the leaders had other
plans in view.
william B. Gourley, chairman of the
State committee. was asked tonight
about the Senatorial situation on the
Democratic ticket We have plenty of
first-cIass men," he said, but TO me it
seems that Woodrow Wilson or Grover
Cleveland would make the most ac-
ceptable Senator. Both are men of the
highest type and they would do honor
to any State"

Nicholas Tells of
MOwry Hall Affair

Morris Levy and Supervisor Nicholas
gave additional testimony yesterday in
Judge Seawell's court concerning the
transaction by which Levy collects
$500 a month rent from the city for the
hall which he holds under a s100-a-
month lease and which has been con-
verted into a temporary meeting place
for the Board of Supervisors. The tes-
timony was taken in the trial of the
suit brought by the Occidental Real
Estate Company against Levy to oust
him from possession of the hall on the
ground that he had invalidated his
lease by subletting the hall to the Su-
pervisors. After two days of argument
the case was dismissed late yesterday
afternoon on motion by the plaintiffs
for nonsuit because of technical flaw
in the original complaint, and a new
suit will be commenced at once.
Nicholas appeared as chairman of the
building committee of the Board of Su-
pervisors. He said that the board met
on the Sunday following the fire at the
building on Hayes street formerly oc-
cupied by Pat McGushin's saloon and
decided to find quarters He said that

Mayors Collections Not
Properly Accounted
Suspicious of Expert Aroused
by Lump Entry for Rentals

Douglas Young, who has been ap-
pointed accountant by the Grand Jury,
began his work yesterday and he had
not been occupied more than ten min
utes before he unearthed a case of
gross carelessness if not something
worse on the part of Mayor Schmitz.
Young found that sums of money col
lected by the Mayor for the rental of
city property had been transferred to
the office of Treasurer Charles Bantel
in manner that opened chances for
graft on large scale. Instead of ac-
counting for each sum separately the
Mayor had made a lump sum and sent
1t In as money collected for rental of
city property There is nothing to
show how much rent was derived from
each separate piece of property.
Two years ago the Mayor invited
trouble for himself on the rents from
city property. At that time he failed
to account for two checks in the total
of $4,000 which had been paid TO him.
Later the Mayor gave it out that he
had found the checks in his desk and
turned the money over to the Treas
urer.
When Accountant Young entered the
office of Treasurer Bantel in the West
ern National Bank yesterday he an
nounced that he had come to expert
demurred on the ground that Young
had no credentials. A lively scene en-
sued when Il was suggested TO Bantel
that he telephone to Heney to confirm
Youngs announcement. This was done
and Heney asked that Young be shown
all courtesies customary in such cases.
Young began his work, but after he
had perused a few pages he came upon
the entry which indicated the payment
from the Mayors Office of the income
from the city property. The charter
provides that this money shall be col
lected by the Mayors office and turned
over at once to the City Treasurer with
an itemized statement. AS the Treas
urer was without information as to the
amount of rent charged for the various
pieces of city property he could not
determine whether Schnitz had turned
in the entire amount collected.
Young at once called the attention
of Bantel TO the item. When the Mayor
reaches San Francisco he will be asked
for an accounting of all rentals re-
ceived.

Gallagher Shows
the Effects
Of Worry
His Sensitivenes
About Scandal
Is Evident.

Acting Mayor Gallagher Is showing
the effects of the strain upon him
caused by the Grand Jury investiga-
tion. His face is drawn, his eyes are
heavy and he looks much like a man
who has long been without sleep. His
on the part of many who are acquaint-
ed with him and it is predicted that
unless matters change he will proba-
bly, be taken ill.
Being of a somewhat sensitive ma
ture the public disclosures recently
made by the Grand Jury concerning
the transactions of the Board of Su-
pervisors and the intimatfons that he
would be included in the list of those
indicted have had marked effect on
the acting Mayor. And while it is i'm
possible for him 10 hide the effect he
is evidently still faithful to the man
who has been the instrument of plac-
ing him in his present unquestionable
position. Ruef is still his leader.
In no direct way can Gallagher be.
induced to make statement concern
ing his opinion of the investigation
being made by the Grand Jury, but in
a long conversation yesterday he ex-
pressed sympathy for the family of
Peter Duffy, the man who has been in
dicted for perjury. Duffy. he said,
would not suffer az a result of the in
dictment as would the woman and
children who must depend on him.
Following this statement the acting
Mayor was asked what he. thought
would be the outcome of the indict-
r,ents and the Investigation in general
shaking his head, he replied:
ut would not do for me in my posi-
tion to express an opinion.
When Gallagher took his seat as act
ing Mayor less than two months ago
he was energetic and ambitious. He
was cheerful and smiling wherever he
was met but that was before the ghost
of an inquisitive Grand Jury haunted
him day and night. That was before
he realized the danger of doing the bid
ding of scheming, selfish, unprincipled
political boss.
The acting Mayor again lives in San
Francisco. When Gallagher learned
that 1t was known that he had taken
apartments across the bay he at once
removed to his home on this side. He
had taken up his residence at the Hotel
Crellin in Oakland in order to escape
the gaze of the San Francisco public.
Gallagher who is a very sensitive
man. felt uncomfortable he walked
the streets in San Francisco. He there
fore arranged to hurry from his office
every evening to the ferry and thence
to Oakland
When the facts were printed Gala
CHER paid his bill 1t the Creilin and
came back to the city of which for the
time being he is the chief executive

But when Corbett came around to
settle up the final details he discovered,
much to his amazement, that Graney
had already installed himself as man
ager and master of ceremonies of the
place. Corbett looked around for
chance TO force himself in, but, seeing
that the little horseshoer had already
secured the monopoly, he retired very
gracefully.
Since that time Corbett has been won

Several weeks ago Corbett leased a
location around the corner from the
Tuxedo and proceeded to outfit it. But
material and labor were slow, so the
man who formerly controlled Ellis
street was compelled to sit around and
watch the money roll into the coffers
