Shaw Talks Elastic Currency.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Secretary
Shaw appeared before the house COM
mittee on banking and currency today
in advocacy Of high taxed credit
currency, suggesting per cent as a
desirable rate. He emphasized the
need for great elasticity in the curren-
cy, but expressed the opinion that the
plan framed by the American Bankers
Association will not bring about suffi-
cient elasticity to be very useful.
Granting that the bankers plan re-
suits in the issuance Of $200,000,000 adj
ditional in national bank notes, Shaw
said in his opinion not more than $780,
100000 worth of these will be redeem
ed. Shaw thought the bankers plan
wholly inadequate to meet the require
said 1t was encountered with too much
machinery, for it limited the good re-
suits he feels it is capable of accom-
plishing. He said he did not want to
be regarded as the opponent of meas
ure suggested by the bankers, because
he felt any step toward relieving the
demand for greater elasticity at certain
seasons of the year was desirable, but
he argued that the committee strive to
frame a more effective measure. The
secretary urged that an effort should
be made to make all our currency more
elastic, rather than to impart elas-
ticity to certain amount of emergency
currency. Under the bankers plan, he
said. only the credit currency which
goes into national banks would be
on it's way to redemption. There
would be no reason why private
the banks should seek redemption of
national bank notes and consequently
they would make no effort to do so. In
the bankers plan national banks are
permitted to issue $4,000 additional
notes for every 100000 of their capital,
at an interest rate of 2k per cent, and
an additional $12,500 with interest rate
Of per cent,

viii Urue ship Subsidy.

Washington, Dec. 14.--That the pres
ident will send to congress a special
message advocating the passage of a
ship subsidy measure at the present
session was stated by several mem
bers Of the house today. 1t is said the
president had declared the recommen-
dation in his annual message was mis-
understood. In that message he said if
it were found expedient to pass the
senate bill the measure should be pass
ed to provide for a few lines to South
American ports. He did not mean to
minimize the importance Of other fea-
lures Of the bill and now proposes to
correct any false impression that may
have been gained by the house. The
house committee on merchant marine
and fisheries will meet January Z. 1t is
believed the president will further COM
municate his wishes to the house be-
fore that meeting.

Old-Fashioned Style.
Washington, Dec. 14.-President

spelling order to the public printer, and
hereafter all documents from the ex-
ecutive department again will be print
ed in the old fashioned style.
Representative Landis of the joint

when the president said he did not wish
to have spelling overshadow matters
of great Importance and expressed a
willingness to revoke his order for the
new spelling In case the house of rep
resentatives should go on record as op-
posed to the system. Accordingly late
in the afternoon Mr.. Lands introduced
the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
house Of representatives that hereafter
in presenting reports, documents, or
other publications authorized by law,
ordered by congress, or either branch
thereof, or emanating from the execu-
tive departments, their bureaus, or
branches, and Independent officers Of
the government, the government print
ing office should observe and adhere
to the standard OF orthography pre-
scribed in generally accepted diction-
aries Of the English language.

CLAIM UNFAIR PLAY
Another Bad Spill Which Walthour
and BedeIl Claim Was intentional, to
Defeat Their Almost Successful Eff
forts, Delays Bicycle Race.

New York, Dec. 1.-Two stirring in
cidents marked the progress of the
six-days bicycle race, early today The
first came when John Bedell, of the
Walthour-Bedell team, attempted to
gain a lap. Just as he seemed certain
to succeed, Fogler fell, causing spill
in which half a dozen riders unwill-
ingly participated, making Bedelrs
good work for naught Several riders
were temporarily disabled, Wander
stuyft suffering most severely The ac-
cident and subsequent protest of Walt
hour and Bedell, who claimed that
Fogler fell purposely, so they could not
gain the lap, caused long suspension Of
the race. Walthour and Bedell refused
to continue the race, and nearly an
hour was lost before they could be in
duced to resume.
The other incident was sensational
attempt by Bedell and Walthour to
gain lap and make their score equal
to the leaders sprint. 1t was one of
the widest and longest of the contest
and lasted sixteen minutes. While it
continued, 5000 people in the garden
cheered uproariously.
walthour and Bedell relieved each
other several times, as did also Breton
and Samuelson. Stol and Leon and
Georget had to go it alone, which
placed each at disadvantage. There
was a long delay in announcing the 4
o'clock score, and when it was made
public it was seen that the timers had
not given any gains or losses during
the sprint, altho it was the general i'm
preston that Stol and Georget had
been Tapped.
The score at 1 p. M. in the bicycle
race was: Nine leading teams, 1870
miles, four laps; Walthour- Bedell,
Breton and Samuelson, one lap be-
hind, Calvin Wiley, three laps.

BRYAN WARNS DEMOCRATS.
\
Sees Plans Of Conservatives to Again
Control National Convention.


Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 14.-In the forth-
coming issue Of the Commoner, w. J.
Bryan warns the democrats Of the
country against what he declares to be
another effort Of those democrats who
call themselves conservatives to cap-
ture the next democratic national con-
vention. Mr.. Bryan says.
"The argument made two years ago
by the friends Of Judge Parker was
that President Roosevelt was unsatis-
factory to the business element and
that conservative democrat like
Judge Parker would be able to poll
large republican vote. It ought to have
been plain to the party leaders that
a candidate conservative enough to
draw corporation republicans to his
support would not be radical enough to
hold the democratic voters"
Mr.. Bryan says Roosevelt should be
taken at his word that he will not be a.
candidate, and that even II he should
change his mind he would have trouble
in getting the nomination because OF
division in the party. a

Dallas Speaker Bitterly Denounces Him
at Mass Meetinq.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 14-For three
hours last night at mass meeting in
the city hall auditorium Cullen F. Tho

Texas.
The auditorium was well filled, the
meeting having been called to protest
against the reelection Of Mr.. Bailey
to the senate. A large number of Bal

At one time Mr.. Thomas asked: care
there any ladies PRESENT." When an
swered in the affirmative he indicated
that for that reason he could not say
in response to his annoyers what he
would like to, but insinuated that he
had his opinion of them and that it was
not good one.
