Jacob II Schiff suggested that in lieu
of central bank the national banks form
a central issue association to take up the
matter eff circulation. He also proposed
that the law requiring the banks to hold
a reserve of % per cent of their deposits
be so amended as TO allow the issue of
one-fifth of the reserve in emergencies
This he said would provide an emergen-
cy currency of $i2j, 0G0, 900. which would be
sufficient to tide over unusual disturb
ances and could be restored to the reserve
when the emergency was passed.
Mr. Schiff declared that there is dis

throughout the country, especially by the
5000 national banks, and that the public
is opposed TO such Capitalization. The

HAD COMMITTED
A FOUL MURDER
Identity of Prisoner at Fort
leaVenWorth Established
by Finger Prints.

Washington. Nov IA curious result of
the recent adoption by the United States
army of the system Of identification by
finger-prints, just reported to the war de-
partment, was the discovery in the per-
son of soldier at Fort Leavenworth of
British murderer for whom the Scot
land Yard authorities have been looking
for years. The man was a prisoner in
the United States penitentidrY, serving a
five-year sentence for a military crime.
In prison he was well behaved and well
liked, and when the warden, following
the general order to take the ifinger-print
records of all soldiers, attempted TO Sc
cure an impression OF this mans digitS,
he met with violent resistance, and the
assistant who tried TO make the record
was knocked down and roughly handled
upon the mans previous knowledge Of
the use to which the finger prints might
be put land that his record was bad, the
warden sent copies of the prints to the
police authorities in a number of cities.
Within a short time Scotland Yard re-
ported that the man had committed an
atrOciouS murder at Malta; that he had
been sentenced to life Imprisonment and
had escaped to America.
Fort Leavenworth Kas., Nov. The
man whose identity was discovered
through the finger-print system is James
McCOwn, who. while serving in the Eng
lish army, killed a soldier cOmrade at
listed in an artillery battery under the
name of McDonough Last November he
assaulted and nearly killed a comrade of
his battery. He was tried by court mar
tial in the east and sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary.
The English authorities have said he
is not wanted there and they hope he
will remain away from England.

Speeches Warmly Received.

The welcome that was given to both
men was most demOnstratively cordial
When Judge Powers arose to speak il
was half minute before he was per-
mitted to begin. The same thing was
true of Judge Kings reception The
two greatest of the Democratic orators
were made to feel that they have
sure and a lasting hold on the affections
of the men and the women of their
party. And by contrast with the other
meetings that have been held in the
theatre during this campaign

There never has been a more enthu-

Yet in the glow of natural admiration
for the efforts of Judge Powers and
Judge King one, must not lose sight
OF the splendid talk made by Frank B.
STEPHENS, who acted as chairman of
the meeting. Mr.. Stephens was also
eloquent, he was also earnest and con-
vincing. He was cheered and cheered
when he said that he had told a friend
who asked him why the Democratic
party continued in existence in Utah in
the face of successive defeats: ''The
