SHAW APPEALS FOR
SIS BANK NO. ES.
Country Needs Bills of Smalle- Demon
inations-Issue Urged as B-ing
More Profitable.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July g.
Secretary Shaw has issued an appeal to
national banks to assist the government
in supplying a pressing demand for notes
of small denominations. He has sent
to all national banks a letter requiring
them to issue as much as possible OF the
aggregate of their circulating notes in 20
bills, indicating to them that there IS
more profit in the issuance of such notes
than in putting out notes OF larger de-
nominations. Secretary Shaw says:
The treasurer of the United States Is I'M
able to meet even at this season or the
year. the pressing demand for notes OF
small denominations. The coming autumn
will greatly increase this demand. In the
peal to the national banks to use every
reasonable effort to relieve Lne situation;
If each bank will do its share there VIII
be no difficulty. Failing in this there VIII
be slight reason to complain of the in
evitable shortage In small bills.
The law permits national banks to issue

but $76.O00,OOO in tives. The addltlona,,
500, 100000 in So bills now available would
greatly relieve the situation.
1t must be apparent that there is more

Madison are in deep mourning on ac-
count of the death of Congressman
Adams from this district. All flags are
half mast around the capitol.
Judge e. w. Keyes, postmaster of
Madison, said today: The farming in
terest of this state never had more
effective friend than Mr.. Adams. He
enjoyed their confidence, they appre-
natural that he should feel interested
in their farming, while a member of the
House because he had from an early
period been one of them himself, but |
have not time for eulogy, few words
only can be given. His successful labor
when more fully known will be duly APP
preciated. The future held out bright
promise for him had his life been
spared"
Col. Casson has telegraphed Speaker
Cannon and Vice President Fairbanks to
announce committees to attend the
Adams funeral.

KING MAY QUIT RACING.
Prince of Wales Will Be Depended Upon
to Keep Royal Colors on
the Turf.

LONDON, July 10,-There is a rumor
which, if true, will cause much regret
in sporting circles. 1t is to the effect
that the King has decided to abandon
horse racing and that the present may
be his last season, most of his stables
being sold at one Of the Newmarket
October meetings.
Great persuasion will doubtless be
brought to bear upon his majesty to re-
consider his decision. If, however, he
abides by it it is hoped that the Prince Of
Wales will start a stable with some of
his fathers most promising horses and
race in his own name. King Edward
has no intention of breaking up his
breeding stud at Sandringham. He will
keep there most of the horses. such as
Persimmon and Diamond Jubilee, who
won fame in the past

report of the inspector of factories and
workshops, which shows that the condi-

"The boiling room lay between the
ward and the stable, and the horses
reached the latter through the boiling
room; the sanitary accommodation was
hardly separated from the rooms where

BEGIN ELEVATOR QUIZ
WRITTEN QUESTIONS TO De ISSUED
TO RAILWAYS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Will
Sum Up Replies and Begin Oral In
vestigation in Fall.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10.-The
opening of the investigation of the alleged
elevator trust will consist of oral hear
ings. Pointed questions will be asked in
writing and mailed to railways, under the
general authority of the Interstate com
merce commission.
Acting also by virtue of the special
resolution of Congress introduced by Sen
ator La Toilette, the commission has
completed the preparation of official in
quiries, which will be sent out lmmed-
ateIy to every railroad doing business in
such large grain centers as Chicago, st,
Louis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Duluth, Toledo, Buffalo and every other
large railroad center in the northern
states, including the Atlantic coast cities
and Boston, and San Francisco, Tacoma,
Seattle and Portland on the Pacific
coast.
The actual opening of the investiga-
ton will be deferred until September or
October. 1t was decided by the COM
mission that it would be impossible to
extend oral hearings to every railroad.
When the commission meets in the fall
it can pursue the investigation and fol
low up written replies with oral state
ments made under oath in various cities
by responsible officials of elevator and
transportation companies.
Next Thursday there is to be final
session of the interstate commerce COM
mission for the summer. The principal
subject to be taken up will be to secure
an agreement in a general sort of way
upon a system of accounting and book
keeping for railroads as preliminary for
submission of uniform reports to the
commission, somewhat on the same line
as the reports now made to the control
ler of the currency by the banks.

1850. He came to Wisconsin with his
parents the following year. He received

dairying and fruit raising. His first
move into politics was made i'll 1888
when he was elected a member of the
state assembly. He was reelected in

citation for three years and secretary of

Got Credit for Meat Bill
Congressman Adams came before the
public eye during the most recent session
of Congress more than ut any time in
his political career, through his work for
the meat inspection law now in effect
During the latter part of the session.
after President Roosevelt exposed the
packers, Senator Beveridge formulated
an amendment to the agricultural bill,
providing for inspection of packing
houses. This amendment caused a bitter
fight, especially the clause providing
that the packers pay the expense, and
one providing for both day and night in
sOechonS.
When the fight was at it's bitterest
point, Mr.. Adams saw the President,
and they agreed upon the measure which
is now law. Mr.. Adams, said Wash
ington dispatches, pointed out few
errors of the President to him. and an
agreement was reached. Mr.. Adams
was at the time a member of the House
committee on agriculture.
Mr.. Adams was among the so-called in
surgents led by Congressman Babcock,
who opposed the Philippine tariff re-
duction.
Congressman Adams was of the stock
from which President John Q. Adams
sprang. His father, Benjamin Franklin
Adams, was graduate of Hamilton
college, New York, and professor of
Greek and Latin there, resigning to take
up farming which he loved. The father
was Il charter member of the Psi Upsi-
Ion fraternity. The family came to Wis
eonsin in the early sos, settling at Bea-
yer Dam. Later they came to Madison.
MIR. Adams. ST.. died in 1902. Like his
son lie was n leader in progressive agri-
culture, horticulture and fruit raising.
