LIKES BANKERS PLAN
Secretary Shaz0, HozceUer, Leaves
Currency Question to Congress.

Washington. Nov. 17.-secretary Shaw Of the
| ment on the subject of proposed currency legs-
lation:
In his previous reports Secretary Shaw has
recommended currency legislation. but has never
recommended any particular plans TO the
clusion of others. He has been much gratitied
at the attention given the subject by chambers
of commerce, by bankers association and by
committees appointed by each. He has re-
mained in the Cabinet largely IN the hope of
securing some legislation the subject, but
he has not recommended, and Will not recon-
mend, details Of legislation. That is the prov
ince of Congress, under such advice II may
deem wise to invite to which II may have the
opportunity to listen.
The Secretary will be pleased beyond measure
II Congress will adopt every detail of the plan.
ers and business He thinks Congress will
have difficulty in working out plan thereby
satisfactory to all. though in detail meeting the
wishes IN every particular OF no one man, when
ever it decides 10 legisate the subject.
When Congress decided to pass tariff law
the Dingley bill was promptly put on the statute
books. When IL decided to enact a gold stand
ard measure the act of March a. 1900. was the
quick result. When IL decided to pass a rate
bill unnecessary delay ensued. II It shall
undertake 10 add an elastic feature to pres
ent currency system the Secretary has no doubt
of favorable results in short order That such
legislation is imperative he thinks recent Treas
ury experiences make apparent In his report
he will strongly urge that something be done.
and may suggest several methods for the con-
sideratiOn of Congress.
The Secretary OF the Treasury. being charged
only with the responsibility OF administering
his department under the law as IL exists and
Of making report TO Congress, will not assume
the responsibility involved In recommending the
details of needed legislation. The subject mat
ter and the end necessary 20 be attained he Will
fully discuss.

TO LOOK INTO SCHOOL QUESTION.
japanese Ambassador Will Visit San Fran.
cisco-Inquiries in Toxic.

Washington, Nov. 17.-vtscount Aoki. the Jap
anese Ambassador, will make a trip to the
Pacific Coast in few months to study the con-
ditiOn Of Japanese in the Far Westeren states
with the special view to learning the exact
causes of the friction between Californians and
his fellow countrymen. -
The exact date of the Ambassadors trip has
not been fixed, but he has had it under con-
temptation for some time, and probably will go
soon after the coming session of Congress ends.
All of the important cities on the Pacific Coast
will be visited by Viscount Aoki. who is espe
Cally anxious to acquaint himself with the re-
markable development of Washington, Oregon
and California He Will also probably make a
number of stops in cities in the mountain states
and in the Mississippi Valley. Although the
Ambassador has crossed the American con-
tinent several times he has never had op
portunity to stop IN the various commercial
centres and study the industries which fouish
throughout the Middle and Far West.
TOXIC, Nov. 1T.-Viscount Hayashi the For
eign Minister, to-day received delegation from
the Constitutional and Progressive parties, who
called upon him with reference to the action of
the authorities of San Francisco in excluding
japanese from the public schools Of that city.
The Minister assured the delegates that the
views Of the American and Japanese govern
said that he hoped for a satisfactory settlement
OF the matter in time by evoking Article VI of
the Constitution of the United States, making
all treaties the supreme law of the land, any,
thing in the constitution or laws OF any state
notwithstanding. Minister Hayashi concluded
with assuring his callers that there was no
danger Of injury to the traditional friendship
between Japan and the United States.

tFrom The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington, Nov 1.-THE Secretary of War,
accompanied by General Barry, chief of staff,
his aid Captain Hutchinson, and Quartermaster
General Humphrey returned to Washington to-
day after his long Western trip. in the course
OF which he inspected various army stations
with view to ascertaining their availability as
brigade posts The forts inspected by Secretary
Taft were Russell in Wyoming; Robinson IN
Nebraska; Leavenworth and Riley in Kansas;
SILL in Arizona, and Sam Houston. in Texas.
The Secretary also visited Fort Sheridan, but
his visit to that post had TO do with a claim
against the government.
While the Secretary is not prepared to make
public the results of his inspection he said to-day
that he found everything in a most satisfactory
condition and was well pleased with the results
of his trip The elevation OF these forts to
brigade posts is not likely to be accomplished
by single law or regulation, but will be mere

the hope is entertained that in the natural order

hand and tactful administration of Governor
Magoon all may yet be well, despite the diff
culties which some of the professional trouble
makers are putting in the way Of the Governor.

On False Statements to the Insurance De-

The law was not so framed as to require the
verifcation to be made upon positive knowledge.
1t was sufficient if it was to the best OF the
knowledge. information and belief OF the persons
making the vertflcatiOn. In more than one In

tain any legal evidence which tends to show that
the persons verifying these reports had knowl-
edge of the particulars in which the reports were
untrue. 1hose oincers OF the company VINO
were aware of the incorrectness of any report did
not verify it, and those officers who did verify 1t
were unaware of the incorrectness. or. at least,
could not be proved to have known Of II. Con-
seQuently 1t has been impossible to base any
criminal proceedings upon the incorrectness OF
these reports. Moreover. the forms provided by
