conviction for other ofieDses, but the
real inspiring aim OF Assistant States
Attorney Francis J. Heney is TO bring
home 10 Mayor Schmitz and Boss
"Abe" Ruef the charge that they mis-
appropriated the money sent to relieve
the sufferings OF the stricken people
Of San Francisco.
This VIII be a week OF indictments

Burns get the witnesses they are af-
ter They expect 10 cause the fling
of fresh charges against Schmitz and
Ruef tomorrow. and every day in the
week they hope to add to the list. The
purpose In plling up indictments Is
two-fold. They desire TO secure the
moral effect OF a yolley and also pre-
vent the possibility OF escape OF any
guilty person through some technical.

| SHAW'S WARNING TO BANKS
Public Money Not for Wall Street
Spectators.
Dusiness-Must BE Loaned
at Regular Rates.

ashington, D. C.-Secretary
Shaw has made public q circular let,
ter dated Friday to all national bank
repositories in which ne says in effect
that he expects public moneys in de
positary banks TO be used in the com.
munities where it is deposited and
not loaned through brokers and other
agents in New York for the specula-
tive purposes. The letter is as fol-
lows:
Il am advised that many banks,
scattered throughout the country, are
loaning their surplus funds, through
brokers and others in New York on
call, at high rates of interest. Money
loaned on call is well nigh universal
ly for speculative purposes. 1 recog-
nize the right of any individual to
speculate in stocks or in lands, and
the legal right of any bank to loan
money at appropriate rates OF interest
at home or abroad, on ample security,
even with knowledge that it is being
used for speculative purposes. l an
not willing, however, that government
money shall be enticed away from the
locality where it has been deposited
for the purpose of being used in this
way. Public deposits are made in aid
of legitimate business as distinguished
from speculation whatever its nature.
Depository city banks are expected to
loan at regular rates or not at all ana
they must not be tempted to act as
agents instead of correspondent for
other depository banks in making call
loans at high rates.
If you have more money than your
community can appropriately absorb,
please return it to the treasury for it
can be promptly placed where it will
do much good. This does not apply
to banks with large reserves regularly
on deposit with city correspondents

The Ace of Lead.

We are wont to speak of this era
as the "age of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speaking,
iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful. if not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give ii such a prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints. would be almost iInpos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the worId-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
''slugs," monotype type-all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which ''babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty = inside
and Out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as white lead" Of
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are Just as good" as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint
Red lead is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, ETC., which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as we'll as of iron.

When Woman Isn't YOUNG.

The report is that local religious
institution which is for young WON
en- has drawn the deadline of youth
at 35. Every woman over that age
will be marked % and requested to
skiddoO. This is painful. 1t is unkind
What is worse, it is impracticable We
are glad the task is to be performed
by women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such a
problen-not they. This is simply
another example of woman's inhu.
manity to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that a woman is as old as she looks
and man is as old as he feels Just
now, we say it with regret, most wom-
en- look like 60 and, most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems a good one. It is plain, un-
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it. There are
many women who were born during
the ravages of the civil war who still
claim sweetly to be in the thirties.

ting Nelson deliberately fouled Joe
Cans in the forty-second round of

apparently the stronger. He was
away ahead on points and had

the fight without being badly hurt
himself Shortly after the forty-sec-
ond round commenced the men were
in their usual clinch. Nelson had his
head on Cans shoulder and his arm
down. Several timse he hit Cans be-
low the belt, apparently feeling for
a vital spot. AT last he drew back
his right arm and hit Cans a vicious
blow square in the groin. The col
ored boy sank to his knees and rolled
over on his back Referee Siler with

corner and awarded the fight to Cans
