ABOUT DEPOSITS
Secretary of Treasury OBJ
ieCtS to Use of Them for
Speculation.
A CIRCULAR TO BANKS
HE DOES NOT WANT MONEY IN
THE NATIONAL REPOSITORIES
LOANED TO NEW YORK MEN
AND BROKERS.

all national bank depositaries, in
which he says in effect that he ex-
poets public moneys in depositary
banks to be used in the communities
where deposited and not loaned
through brokers and other agents in
New York for speculative purposes.
The letter is as follows: 4 am adj
vised 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 universally for
speculative purposes | recognize the
right of any individual to speculate in
stocks or in lands. and the legal right
of any bank to loan money at appro-
pirate rates of interest, at home or
abroad, on a good security. even with
knowledge that it is being used for
speculative purposes. | am not will
ing, however, that government money
shall be enticed away from the local
ity where ii 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.
Depositary city banks are expected to
loan at regular rates or not at all. and
they must not be tempted to act as
agents instead of correspondents for
other depositary banks in making call
loans at high rates. Il you have more

Buggy OF Ora Munger Struck
on Main Street and OCCu-
1antS Thrown Out.
NO SERIOUS INJURIES
STREET HILL SAY THAT CARS
RUN FAR ABOVE THE SPEED
LIMIT.

Ora Munger and family, residing on
Randolph street, West Richmond, had
a miraculous escape from death last
night near Third and Main streets,
caused by ely car crashing into the
rig in which they were driving, de-
molishing it and throwing all the oc-
cupants into the street.
The party were driving west on
Main street in an open topped buggy,
and when they neared the watering
place in front of the court house Mr..
Munger stopped the horse in order
that it might drink AS they were
standing thus, the car which leaves
Eighth and Main streets at six
o'clock, came down the Main street
hill at a good speed. Mr.. Munger's S
horse became frightened and backed
square across the track. The motor
man tried to stop his car, but he was
unsuccessful, and it went crashing in
TO the buggy, throwing all four occu-
pants to the ground The buggy
was overturned and dragged for a dis
tance of one hundred and fifty feet be-
fore the car could be brought to a
stop. The horse was thrown to the
ground, but was uninjured.
No Top on the Buggy.
The family owe their remarkable
escape to the fact that there was no
top on the buggy, for probably If
there had been one, it would have so
impeded their escape from the rig
that they would have been dragged
with it for several hundred feet. and
probably killed

Mr. and Mrs Munger was badly cut
about the face but his injuries are
not serious The family soon hired
a rig and drove home, and with the
exception of the injuries sustained by
the boy. none were the worse for the
accident
Mr.. Munger stated hat the accident
and the street car company was not
very much to blame.
The accident last night occurred
only few feet from the spot where
