A Flexible Currency
 Scheme Agreed Upon

propositions: The establishment of a five per cent guaranty fund for re- demption of failed banks and for other purposes; the amount of general credit notes to be kept in reserve to be the same percentage as that of deposits and the limitation of all issues of cur rency by any bank to that of its cap ital stock. The imposition of a tax on emergency notes was the most trouble some of all to settle.
 The vote was taken on 1t yesterday. Today this action was reconsidered and several other votes were taken. The final vote could not be ascertained graduated tax of very limited range and small in amount. This vote. it is said may not finally dispose of the question and it may come up for con- sideration again tomarrow.
 During the debate today some of the members thought that the graduated tax ranging from two to three per cent would meet all reasonable require ments. The discussion disclosed the fact that the bankers are anxious to have it known that their efforts to get congress to issue additional cur rency in times of financial stress is not for the purpose of making money but with a view of accommodating the public and that as soon as the demand has ceased the emergency currency is to be redeemed and cancelled.

FRISCO INQUIRY
 HAS RESUMED
The Examination Of Restaurant Keep CTS Who Had Been "Shaken Down" By the Schmitz Administration.

San Francisco. Calif.. Nov. 14.-Tha recently organized grand jury assem- bled in secret session today at Native Sons hall to hear the testimony pre- sented by District Attorney w. II Langdon and Assistant District Attor- ney Francis J. Heney. The greatest reticence is maintained by all con cerned in the deliberations.
 The first charge looked into was the conspiracy to obtain money from keepers of French restaurants in the city. Several proprietors of these places had been summoned as wit nesses. Former Police Commissioners Reagan. Hutton and Howell. who had also been subpoenaed. were waiting tC be called into the jury room. A dra- matic incident occurred shortly before the jurymen began their deliberations H. H. Young. one of the members Of the grand jury. left the room and re fused to participate in the delibera- tions. He refused to give a reason foi his action.
 Toni Blanca. a restaurant keeper was the first summoned by the inquis- itors. He was closeted for thirty min utes but when he re-appeared he re- fused to make any statement and hur- ried away. T. NJ. Adler, another res taurant keeper. was also examined fo' q considerable length of time.

THE SLEEPY SONG.

As soon as the fire burns red and low. And the house upstairs is still. She sings me a queer little sleepy song Of sheep that go over the hill The good little sheep run quick and
 soft. Their cOlors are gray and white. They follow their leader nose to tail, For they must be home by night. And one slips oyer, and ones comes
 next,
 And one runs after behind; The gray ones nose at the white ones
 tail.
 The top of the hill they find. And when they get to the top of the
 hill
 They quietly slip away. But one runs over and one comes next. Their colors are white and gray And over they go and over they go. And over the top of the hill The good little sheep run quick and soft And the house upstairs Is still. And one slips over and one comes next. The good -littie gray little sheep: watch how the fire burns red and low. And she says that I fall asleep. Joseph Daskam in T. P.'s Weekly.

Territorial Show
 Better all the Time
Continued From Page i.

loon ascension and parachute jump yesterday given as an advertisement oI the Western Carnival company. was the best exhibition of the kind ever seen here and could not have been eX- celled anywhere at any time The air seemed to be perfectly still and was on the ground. but in the upper regions the movement of the balloon showed differing currents. The balloon shot straight up with marvellous speed for a long distance. travelling a little in the direction of the grand stand until many feared it would pass over it or come down on it. But in the higher attitudes the big hot air bag drifted 60 the east and finally came down just inside the fair ground fence. The height attained seemed to be nearly twice that of the day before and the man in tre trapeze looked no larger than small bird. When the greatest height was attained the little para chute on which the monkeys fate de pended was loOsed and down he came for some hundreds of feet. then slowed up, and for a moment seemed almost tO rise again. By that time the aeronaut cut himself loose and descended like rocket until he caught up with the monkey or nearly so and both settled to the earth about the same time. The monkey finished on the east side of the race track and the man beyond 1t. almost against the fence. He had to swing his parachute to keep from hi; ting the fence and in doing so the ground flew up and hit him flat on the back. while he was at one end of the swing. with the result that he was pretty badly jared. and did not get to his feet until the crowd reached him He was uninjured though except for the jolt. one of the men connected with the carnival company said the as cension was estimated to be 25O0 feet or more. 500 or 1000 feet higher than the day before
 Jameson. the roman rider. gave his usual exhibition.
 Today there will be the miners drill ing contests at 10 o'clock in the rear of the grand stand and the forenoon will be especially a time for the men from the hill country. Those who get tired watching the drillers should not fail to go to the mining building and look over the exhibits there.

WHAT IS TO COMET

What is to come we know not; but We know That what has been was good.-wds good to show. Better to hide. and best of all to bear. We are the masters of the days that were.

 What is to come? Let the great winds their worst and and widest blow Or the gold weather round us mellow slow; We have fulfilled ourselves. and we can dare And we can conquer. though we may not share In the rich quiet of the afterglOw,

THE GREATEST OF
 ALL PROPOSITIONS
Jamestown Ter Centennial. Commem- orating Ameriea's Three Hundredth Anniversary, to be an Elaborate Ma. val, Military, Historical, Educational and Industrial Celebration.

Of all exhibitions held in the United States since the Philadelphia Centen- nial in 1876. the Jamestown Ter-Cen- tennial to be held on the shores and waters of Hampton Roads. near the cities of Norfolk. Portsmouth and Newport News. Va, April 26 to Novem- Der 3e. 1907. is to be the most unique and in originality and novelty will completely eclipse all previous exposi- tions.
 The celebration cOmmemorates the most important event in history-the founding of the first English-speaking settlement in America. at Jamestown. Virginia, in 1907. where Captain John Smith and small party of colonists established a village from which has grown America. with nearly one hun dred million population. The celebra- ton will show the remarkable position attained by the United States in his tory and education, together with the marvellous industrial development and commercial expansion during three hundred years. Contemporaneous with the exposition will be held on the wa ters of Hampton Roads the greatest naval pageant ever witnessed in the world. in which every type of war yes sel from the navies Of all foreign na- tions will participate. Another attrac- tive feature will be the International military encampment in which detach- ments of troops of European countries will unite with the soldiers of the United States in a series of drills. maneuvers. parades. etc.
 The site nf ha fey eal within twenty minutes ride of the Tidewater cities of Virginia. reached either by trolley or steamer. and na- ture has combined with the ingenuity of man in making a beautiful and pie turesque spot. The grounds cover more than 400 acres, with two miles of water front facing the greatest waterway in the world. and commands an unsur- passed view of innumerable points of national and historic interest.
 The scheme of landscape decoration will be novel and elaborate, one of the attractive features being the floral fence which surrounds the ground. It is made of trumpet vines. trained on meshed wire. intertwined with honey suckle and crimson rambler roses, the effect being an artistic triumph of towering beauty.

SCHOOL FOR DETECTIVES
Children Gro1U Toscard the Normal
THROUGH Exercise and Training.

In the educational world Springfield, Mass. is
known as the city of special schools for it's edu-
cational system includes eight or nine schools
devoted to special training. But perhaps the
most interesting experiment is its school Tor
feeble minded children, "the special prepara-
tory" as it is tactfully called This has three
fold arn-to rid the ordinary public schoolrooms
of pupils who are a drag on both the teacher
and the normal children; to benefit the child
himself, and to make him more useful mem
Der of society.
When the school board announced that such
school was to be established. there was
great outcry against it. 1t was called a ounce
school" a useless Gad' criminal expense"
and ..cruel experiment" Mothers emphatically
declared that never would they send their men
tally defective children to such a school to be
Inundated and disgraced.
At that time the superintendent of schools
was Thomas NJ. Ballet. now dean of the Col
lege of Pedagogy of New-York University. and
1t took much patience and tact on his part to
convince the opponents of the benefits of sucn
school He met the objection to the needless
expense with the argument that feeble minded
children invariably become a city or State
charge when they grow older, whereas such
children, under special instruction, seldom fail
to become wage earners. He told the indignant
parents that mentally defective children were
unhappy in the regular schools, because normal
children could not be prevented from tormenting
them, and that they learned almost nothing in
regular classes, because individual instruction
was out Of the question. In the end Mr.. Balliet's
arguments prevailed. and to-day the public
schools of Springfield are free from defective
boys and girls.
To teach these children is a SLOW process, re-
curing unlimited patience on the part OF the IN
,FI1Cp nd hnWj0pTS
a feeble minded child as a cross word The in
structor is careful to act if she regarded the
children as normal and their devotion to her IS
pathetic
The first principle in training these children Is
to quicken their muscular action, They are in
variably sluggish and muscularly lazy. and
therefore fully One-half of the school session is
given up to physical exercises. AS detectives
have difficulty in thinking and moving at the
same time special exercises are given to Guilt
vate this power
The teacher gives two children each ball,
placing them about six feet apart, with his
back to the other. One OF the pupils then throws
the ball and turns around quickly to catch the
ball, which is being thrown to him. This seems
simple but for newcomers at the school it is an
impossible feat. In fact simply bouncing rub
Der ball is beyond the skill of newcomer. An
other feat is to walk through the rungs of a
ladder placed the floor. newcomer is told
to skip one two rungs, and he always makes
hard work of it.
Balancing helps to steady the muscles. and a
