SHAW'SNEWPLAN
The Secretary Of the Treasury
Would Expand Currency.
Willing to Accept Bonds other
Than Government.
UP TO s1S,OOO,OOO.
As Basis for National Bank Cir
culatiOn Increase.
Financiers Are Delighted With
the Arrangement.
TO SIS, 900, 900.

New York, Oct. 23.-Secretary Shaw's
plan 10 increase available circulation by
s1s,000 600 through the deposit with the
government og approved securities of
that value in place of government
bonds, is interesting to f1nanciers, aside
from the relief it is expected to bring to
the money market in the fact that it
will be a demonstration Of the benefits
of an elastic currency.
An officer OF one Of the leading ma
tional banks voiced this interest. He
said he thought the plan would bring
good results as an object lesson in eles-
tic currency. He thought that the work
ing out of the plan would serve to dem
onstrate to congress the advantages
that would follow the adoption Of
scheme of elastic currency. Congress
may also be influenced by this expert
ment to repeal the law which now lin
its the requirement Of national bank
circulation to 100000.
This official said that his own bank
would certainly take out all the circu-
lation to which it may be entitled IN
der this plan, and he thought that most
other banks holding government de-
posits would take their share of the new
circulation or would find other banks to
which to assign the government bonds
in case they can not for any reason
take the additional circulation them
selves. It was pointed out that almost
any bank would have in its possession
or could easily obtain acceptable bonds
to offer as substitutes for the govern
ment bonds which they have pledged as
security for government deposits.
Secretary Shaw's plan for an increase
in circulation provides for the substitu-
ton to the extent of S18000,O 900 of APP
proved securities other than govern
ment's, for government bonds now
pledged as security for government de-
posits. 1t is provided that the bonds so
released shall Immediately be used to
take out additional national bank cir
culatio1.

wife of VIII Urine. an employe Of the
city living in the city's house near the
waterworks, shot and probably fatally
wounded Plummer c. Gilkerson, the
shooting occurring at the home Of the
Urine woman about O'Clock yesterday
morning. A young man named Graves
living in Carlyle township close to
Gilkerson, was with him at the time
and saw the affair Immediately after
the shooting Gilkerson walked to the
front gate of the Trine home and got
in the buggy Graves was in and was
driven up town. He walked unassisted
from the buggy into the Chop House
and collapsed. The police and physi-
clans were instantly telephoned for and
Gilkerson was removed to the hospital
where he was operated on
Sheriff Richardson was called up as
soon as the officers learned who did the
shooting, and he went to the river and
arrested Mrs. Urine. She was taken be
fore Judge Hough and her preliminary
hearing set for Wednesday. He bond
was fixed at $4,000 which she VIII try to
give.
Gilkerson is lying. dangerously i'll at

BAD ToR BOND BUSINESS.
Period of Commercial Activity Having
It's Eject Says Mr.. Splitter.

Sidney Splitter, of Toledo, Ohio, q
member of the we'll known bond buying
firm of Splitter & Co, was in Topeka
yesterday, and called on a number OF
the state officials. Mr.. Splitter has been
out in western Kansas on a business
trip.
what do you think about the pros
pect for a return of hard times? was
asked Of Mr.. Splitter.
1T would not surprise the financial
interests Of the country much If there
should be a period of tight money be-
fore long replied Mr.. Splitter. Il have
noticed that the London exchange rate
has been put up to s per cent, which
is an indication of the tendency OF the
money market. The banks of the coun-
try are holding a heavy load of com
mercial paper, and there is a tendency
to clear off that load. The man of
money has been looking for CONNER
cial investments for his money, where
he might make a big rate Of interest,
and this has caused great commercial
expansion. Good crops have had much
to do with the prosperity of the coun-
try, but a presidential election is APP
preaching, and the political conditions
of the country are unsettled.
This period of great commercial &C
tivity is not very good for the bond
business. The bond market has been
off because people have been putting
their money into investments which will
pay them better than bonds.
The Switzer & Co. firm of bond
buyers has been in business for So years,
and has always made Kansas bonds its
specially I don't know how many
Kansas bonds we have handled in the
course of our business life, but it is
many millions We buy these bonds
direct from municipalities. and then
sell them to individuals and firms look
ing for investments We sell q good
many to life insurance corporations.
When we first commenced to buy Kan
sas bonds, We were laughed at by east
ern investors They didn't think much
of Kansas but we always believed that
with its great agricultural possibilities,
Kansas was a good state to tie to. The
development Of the state has shown that
we We're right, for Kansas securities are
now gilt edged
The firm OF Splitter & Co. have been
frequent bidders on Topeka bonds, and
have purchased several large lots.

all season Monday they defeated the
College of Enporia team by a score of
30 to O. In view of the fact that this
team was defeated by Kansas universe
ty by a score of 25 to 0 and by Wash
burn by a score of 29 to 0 the dope from
these games would seem to indicate
that there would be some very interest
ing doings for the Washburn team next
Saturday Washburn won from the
Manhattan team last year by a narrow
margin and the Aggies seem to think
that they Will defeat Washburn next
Saturday.
A large delegation Of rooters will come
from Manhattan for this game The
Rock Island will run two excursions for
the game and will use twenty-four
coaches in the trains. The railroad has
made a rate of a. dollar and a half for
the round trip which Will include the
admission and grandstand tickets at
the game and it is reported that at least
1000 will come. This certainly ought to
make the Farmers play for all they are
worth.
The Colorado team praeticed on Wash
burn field last night A short scrin-
mage practice was held with the Tope-
ka High Scho1 team. After twenty min
utes serimmage with the team, Colorado
went over for a touchdown. A few min
utes later they carried the ball to the
five yard line of the High School when
scrimmage work ceased Colorado is
somewhat stiff from the heavy game of
last Saturday and did not work very
hard last night. After practice had con-
cluded last night they ran from the
Washburn field to the 7. NJ. c. A, a
distance Of nearly two miles
Last night by special courtesy Of
Manager s. R. Wells of the Novelty
theater the Colorado team attended the
performance at that theater in a body
The team enjoyed the entertainment
T91F tt,o -f.,fY7 for the FIRST
act of the entertainment, the Colorado
team rose in a body and gave their yell
which was vigorously appIauded by the
audience. They also gave three cheers
for Alice Alva. the woman clarionetist
At the conclusion of the performance
they again gave their yell The general
verdict Of all those who have come in
contact with the Colorado team is that
they are one of the finest lot of football
players who ever visited Topeka.

Two Championships Marked Opening
of New York Season.

The billiard season opened with
rush in New York city last week with
its championship games at 1S-1 and
1872 between Willie Hoppe and Jake
Schaefer and George Sutton and
George Slosson. respectively. The
first named pair stepped. up to the
table on Wednesday night to contest
for the worlds championship at the
1871 style of balk line and the two
Georges met on Thursday night and
battled for the worlds honors at 1872.
Hoppe, holder of the title and the chal-
lenged party, defended his title against
Jake. but had only twenty-eight points
the better of the argument at the end.
The old Wizard started off we'll
and held the lead during the first half
Of the game. but fell behind When the
youngster reeled off runs of 66 and SO.
The veteran played a strong uphill
game toward the close. but could not
get IN a break large enough to show
the way to the finish Jake's best eff
fort was AZ, which demonstrated his
steadineSs of play. Hoppe averaged
10 30-47. against Schaefer's 10 2-47.
A championship changed hands in
the Slosson- Sutton game. the last
named defeating Slosson by 500 to 375.
The student won the title in a tourna-
ment at New York last April in which
Sutton averaged 100 in one Of his
games and also hung up a world 8
high run record of 234. This run was
surpassed by Hoppe in the tournament
which was held in Chicago the follow
ing month with break of 3o7-
In Thursday nights game Sutton
ran SIS from the break and in the
tenth inning clicked off run of 202,
which gave him a lead too much for
Slosson to overcome. Sutton won, 500
to Slossons 375. The averages were:
sutton. 81 4-16. Slosson. %. Hoppe
Immediately challenged Sutton and
they viii meet in December.

Washburn girls are devising plans
and schemes this week by which they

the close of the day the pile grew to
such proportions that it caused some

The one lone drunk, when called into
police court this morning, sent in word
to the judge that he could wait a
