WITH
EXTORTION

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-The grand
jury brought five indictments against
Eugene Schmitz and Abraham Ruef
on charges OF extortion. On each
charge bail was fixed at $4,000. The
first alleged crime was in connection
with the Poodle Dog restaurant, and
the indictment recites that Ruef and
Schmitz demanded money from the
proprietor, Tony Banco AS this. de-
mand was made, it is said, on two oc-
casions, two indictments were re-
turned Extortion believed to have
been practiced upon Ed. Marchard,
proprietor of Marchard's restaurant, is
the basis of two more indictments. A
demand made upon Joe MalfaDti, an
other restaurant man, is the alleged
offense on which the first and last
indictment was found
Presentation of the indictment
against Ruef was, it is said, expected,
but bringing Mayor Schmitz into tho
scandal was a great surprise.
Alleged Objectionable relations be-
tween the municipal administration
and French restaurants had been ag-
itated nearly two years, and the in
dictments are said to be the result.
One accusation made is that q

AGREE UPON PROPOSAL FOR
CREDIT NOTES.
VOLUME SELF ADJUSTING
In Times of Need of Circulating Med
ium Notes Could Be Issued to
Specified Limit by Paying Tax
To Be Withdrawn When Money
Is Plentiful.

Washington, Nov 16.-The plan of
currency reform agreed upon by the
committees of the American Bankers
association and the New York cham
Der of commerce was made public
yesterday. The plan agreed upon con
templates the issue under govern
ment supervision of credit bank notes
by national banks to 40 per cent. of
their bond1secured circulation. sub
ject to a tax of 21a per cent. per an
mum: an automatic increase of credit
notes under certain conditions; fur
Their issue of credit notes equal 10
1919 per cent. of the banks capital
at a tax of S per cent. per annum;
the establishment of guarantee fund
for the redemption of credit notes
of failed banks; provision for active
redemption of credit notes; repeating
TIL existing law limiting the retire
ment of bond-secured notes to $4,000
600 per month; deposit of all public
moneys above reasonable working bal
ances in national banks without col
lateral security, on which the banks
are to pay 2 per cent.
In the report, addressed to mem
bers of the American Bankers aSsO-
citation, the statement is made that
there is unanimity Of opinion that
changes in the existing bank note
system are imperatively required, and
that the present volume of bank
notes is wholly unresponsive to the
demands of commerce. 1t does not.
the report says, expand with the need
for currency in the cropmoving Pc
riod-causing stringency-nor con-
tract when the uses for currency are
less Xtensive-causing redundancy.
Banks are under the necessity of
parting with their reserve money to
certain seasons, also that the demand
would be quite as we'll satisfied #
the banks could supply their credit
notes instead of depicting their re-
serve and causing contraction injurl-
Gus to business.
To meet this situation, the ma
tional banking act, the report says
should be so altered as to permit
under ample safeguards the issue of
credit bank notes which would auto
matically adjust the volume of de
mandS for currency. Such notes can
be issued under provisions which will
insure absolute safety to the note
holder and ample supply of currency
to the public.

TRAMP TAKEN AS
MURDER SUSPECT

Milwaukee, Nov. 16.-The police
captured a murder suspect in Lang, a
tramp. He was taken to ShebOygan
by Sheriff Henry l.. Zurheide under
the supposition that he knows some
thing about supposed murder in
that city. Some days ago the body
o. James Fisher, workman for the
ral'Icad company, was found in the
Northwestern railroad yards near
Nieeden's station. 1t was badly man
gled, having been run over by the
cars. An examination by the coroner
is said to have shown that the man
was otherwise injured besides being
run over, and the supposition is that
some one attacked him and killed him
for what cash he had, and laid his
body on the tracks to cover the
crime.
