 Of Commerce..
 New York, Feb. 1--Secretary Shaw's plan for the relief of the occasional stringency of money was disapproved by committee of the Chamber of Com Enerce, which made its report today.
 The subject was referred to this com- mittee several weeks ago, as the result of n sensational speech made by Jacob H. Schiff before the Chamber. The com mittee in its report expressed the opin- ion that Mir. Shaw's plan would prove Q hazardous experiment, and recon- mended the repeal of the law restrict ing the redemption of national bank notes to $3.00Q. 900 a month.
 Is is further recommended that the Secretary of the Treasury be empow- cred to deposit customs dues as well as internal revenue receipts against such security as the law may authorize. in the national banks. To this might be added a provision for a low rate of interest not less than two per cent up- on such deposits.

Father Joseph Murgas Of Wilkes
Barre, Pennsylvania, expects, within
the next month or two to be able to
send wireless messages to Europe by
means of his new system which IS
now in practical operation.
Since the completion of the aerial
wireless system and its development

Father Murgas has been experiment
ing with an underground service
which he believes will be more valu'
able than the aerial system. His ex'
periments so far have been limited
10 short distances with moderate elec'
trical power and shallow holes. But
he is now completing underground
stations in Wilkes-Barre and Scran'
ton and will conduct the experiments
on a larger scale.
So far as he has proceeded with
this work, SO successfully has ms
