APPROVES BANKERS PLAN
SECRETARY SHAW AUTHORIZES
STATEMENT ON CURRENCY
LEGISLATION,

Washington, Nov. 19.-Secretary
Shaw of the treasury department has
authorized the following statement on
the subject of the proposed currency
legislation:
I'm his previous reports Secretary
Shaw has recommended currency leg
islation, but has never recommended
any particular plans to the exclusion
of others. He has been much graft
fed at the attention given the subject
by chambers of commerce, by bank
ers' associations and by committees
appointed by each. He has remained
in the cabinet largely in the hope of
securing some legislation on the sub
ject, but he has not, and will not,
recommend details of legislation. That
is the province of congress, under
such advice as it may deem wise to
invite, or to which it may have the
opportunity of listening. The secre-
tary will be pleased beyond measure
if congress will adopt every detail of
the plan recommended by the recent
committee of bankers and business
men. He thinks congress will have
no difficulty in working out plan
thereby satisfactory to all, though in
detail meeting the wishes in every
particular of no one man, whenever it
decides to legislate on the subject"

a Theatrical super.tition.


They were rehearsing a new play.
and every one was nervous, for the
first night was close at hand. The play
was tragedy, yet at its end the dying
heroine, as the curtain descended, said:
'Three beers, please"
Those words concluded the play. Yet
they were entirely out of keeping. The
concluding words should have been, Il
die, but, since have saved you, die
happy" or something to that effect.
A dramatic critic new to the business
asked how it was that the tragedy end
ed with 'Three beers, please and the
stage manager said:
Superstition. It Is always thought
bad luck in rehearsals of new plays to
speak the last sentence before the open
ing night. He who has the last SEN
tence to speak substitutes some mean
ingless phrase for it. If he dared to
speak the true phrase the prospects of
the play would be thought doomed.
Some playwrights won't even write the
last line of play. They whisper it to
the assembled company on its first
reading, and from that day till the
actual production the line is never
again heard" New Orleans Times

. Pet Bears.

The incest pet the French forest af-
fords is the marcassin, or baby wild
boar. It is almost human in its clever
ness, delights in funny FRANKS, has an
evident sense Of humor, makes friends
of children and dogs and even lends it
self to mimic hunts, playing the part
Of the hunted animal Its antics are
varied and original. The only creature
to which the marcassin objects is its
distant relative, the pig. Directly it
sees that animal it's back is up and its
growing tusk is barred. In babyhood
it has lovely sleek coat of very dark
brown and tan. When the silky hair
is shed and bristles take its place the
temper grows uneven. If marital and
paternal cares come on, the wild boar
puts away it's childish ways and wants
to take its family to the forest to feed
there on acorns and beech mast. Woe
to the hound or to the keeper who
wants to keep him back In the forest
this paterfamilias may be called the
first line of defense, the SOW the second,

TOO ILL TO APPEAR IN COURT,
Case Against Caruso, the Noted Tenor,
Is Postponed. ..

Case Against Caruso, the Noted Tenor,
Is Postponed. >...-
New York, Nov. 19.-Enrico Caruso,
the famous tenor, who was arrested
in Central park on the complaint of a
woman who charged that he had re-
peatedly insulted her, did not appear
when his name was called in police
court. Nor was Mrs. Hannah Graham,
who preferred the charge against Ca
russo, present in court. Former Judge
Dittenhoefer, who appeared for Caruso,
who had been released on bail, said
the tenor was physically unable to
come to court. He is ill at his hotel,
completely Frustrated by the serious
ness Of the charge which has been
lodged against him. On the request
of Judge Dittenhoefer hearing in the
case was postponed until Wednesday.
The Central park policeman who
made the arrest agreed to the post
pOnement and informed the court that
he believed he would be able to find
Mrs. Graham and have her in court
by that time, AS the address which
she gave at the time the arrest was
made was fictitious one, however, it
Is possible that the complainant may
never appear to press the charge un-
less she goes to court voluntarily.

HUNDREDS PANIC STRICKEN
BLACK HAND SOCIETY REsPoN.
slBLE FOR BOMB OUTRAGE
IN NEW YORK CITY.

New York, Nov. 19.-Hundreds of
panes Of glass were shattered, sew
eral doors were blown from their
hinges and hundreds of persons clad
only in night clothing rushed into the
street in a panic when a bomb was
exploded in the hallway of tenement
house at 33 Stanton street. That the
perpetrator Of the outrage was an
agent Of the Black Hand society is the
theory of the police. They also be-
lieve that Pietro Realmutto, an Ital-
ian, who,has delicatessen store on
the ground floor Of the Stanton street
house, was the intended victim of the
outlaws. Realmutto told the police
that he had received numerous letters
from the Black Hand demanding mon
ey. The last of these communica-
tons, which was received only two
days ago, told the storekeeper that
unless he sent money to the writer's
at once they would kill his two chill
dren. The money was not sent and
the bomb which was hurled into the
hallway is believed to be a warning
from the outlaws that their threat
was not an empty one. The tene-
ment house at SO, Stanton street is
occupied by eighteen families and is
in the midst of densely populated
district. The explosion shattered
every pane of glass in the house and
smashed scores of windows in ada
cent tenements The roar of the ex-.
plosion and the; crash and rattle of
breaking glass aroused the whole
neighborhood and in moment the
street was checked with struggling,
thinly clad men, women and children.
Many of them were on the verge of
frenzy from fear and the police labor
ed for nearly an hour before they sue
ceeded in getting them back to their
homes. ... -,

PROPOSED THAT FEDERATION OF
LABOR ADOPT PLATFORM
OF PRINCIPLES. IT'D
SUBJECT IS DISCUSSED At LENGTH
COMMITTEE FINALLY AUTHOR.
IZED TO DRAW UP THE ."
DECLARATION

minneapolis, NOV. l9.-HaS the
American Federation of Labor any fix
ed general platform of principles
which shall guide it's course and by
which it shall be known to the rest
of the world? Is 1t working for some
thing fixed, definite and expressed, or
is it merely pursuing an errant course
altered and adapted to suit the occa-
sion and the need of the moment?
For half an hour or more the con-
vention of the federation, now in ses-
sion in Minneapolis, discussed this
question without arriving at any con-
clusion. The discussion at times be-
came heated and almost passionate,
the debate eliminating in an appeal
from Delegate Malone of the street
railway employees organization, who
said:
IF we have a platform of principles
do not know what it is. For Gods
sake let us know what we stand for
and what We may say we stand for
before the world. Let us not evade
and sidestep for want of definite prin-
ciples."
The discussion was brought up by
the report of the committee on res
olutions on resolution %, offered by
Delegate Dihle of the Detroit Fedora
tion of Labor. The resolution recites
that the widest publicity should be
given the principles and platform of
the federation and asks that the plat
form and
Declaration Of Principles
of the American Federation of Labor
be printed in the official proceedings
of the convention. The committee
took the stand that the resolutions of
the convention as embodied in the
report were sufficient and that as
nothing further was necessary in their
opinion the resolution was not concur
red in.
In the discussion follow ing Dele
gates E. Garry Brown of Brockton,
Mass, Lennon, Malone, Duncan and
others participated, with the result
that the resolution was referred back
to the resolutions committee with in
structions to prepare and present a
declaration of principles to the con-
vention. This was done after it was
proposed to send the resolution to
the committee on the presidents re-
port and to otherwise dispose of 1T.
The general sentiment of the dele
gate body seemed to be that there is
at present nothing in the way of an
up to date fixed declaration of princi-
pies and that in view of the 100000
people represented there should be
one on which the federation shall
stand.
Politics appeared in a mild form,
but was not generally discussed. It Is
evident that the general political pol
icy of the federation is to be largely
guided by President Gompers in per
son or through his associates.

CONTINUOUS POLICE COURT.
Chicago Magistrates to Hold ,A!I-Night
". ...@. e.. Sessions:

Chicago, Nov. 19.-If the plans of
Chicago's new municipal judges ma
terialize the city probably will have
magistrates sitting in every police dis
trict in the city at every hour of the
day or night. This innovation will
remove one of the strongest incentives
for policemen to avoid making ar
rests. Under the present system If a
policeman arrests a man at night he
must remain in the police station until
the case is disposed Of
With night sessions Of the police
court the prisoner will be arraigned
Immediately and if he secures con,
tinuance it will be to another night
court. This will give the patrolman
ample opportunity to sleep and will
remove the incentive to free guilty
persons aa
Chief of Police Collins will appear
at the meeting of the new justices and
speak in favor of the night courts
in every quarter of the city.
