SHAW SEES THE PRESIDENT
They Probably Concerted Means to Help
the Money Market.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2i.-Leslie NJ. Shaw.
Secretary of the Treasury, was in Wash
ington to-day. He came from Scranton,
Pa, where he spoke last night, by invita-
ton of the President to discuss that feature
o. the Presidents message relating 70 our
rency legislation. He left Washington at
midnight for New York to Renter the
campaign and will probably not see the
President again before he departs for
Panama.
Secretary Shaw was questio ned about
the story that he had been called to WASH
ington to devise means for meeting a pos
sible stringency in the money market.
He said that the President had sent for him,
but for what purpose he declined to say.
1t is understood that most of the time OF
the conference was devoted to the Presi-
dents forthcoming message and the recon-
mendations to be made to Congress in
the message and in Secretary Shaw's annual
report regarding currency legislation.
Secretary Shaw declined to discuss the
date Of his retirement from the Cabinet
or his plans after retiring. There is a re-
port, regarded as authentic here, that he
is to become the head Of a trust company
in New York city after leaving the Treasury
Department.
In reference 10 the money market Mr..
Shaw said he had no plans for its relief and
no announcements to make at this time.
After his visit to the White House tonight
Mr.. Shaw was just az uncommunicative as
he had been before he saw the President.
He wouldn't talk about his business with
Mr.. Roosevelt or give any views about
plans for relieving the money market. II Is
understood that he comedies that the action
Of the Bank of England in raising the dis
count rate on gold from 5 to Q per cent.
nulliiies the Treasury policy OF making
deposits of pu lie moneys in national banks
to cover sold purchases abroad, the deposits
being made on the day of purchase.
No doubt is felt here that the President
and Mr.. Shaw discussed means Of helping
the money market to take the place OF the
gold z agement deposits. 1t was sug-
gested to the ecretary that this might be
done by anticipating t e interest on 4 per
cent. bonds which will mature OF July 1,
1907, or by depositing more public moneys
in national banks, but he declined to furnish
any information. .
1t ia said that Mr.. Shaw was in New York
Yesterday and that he was there also on
Wednesday or Thursday Of last week, but
whom he saw OF what he did has not been
DISCLOSED.

while in the dining car Of a Union Pacific
train this afternoon accompanying her
husband to the Iron county, Mo, jail,

The embarrassing scene was witnessed
by a dozen passengers who were eating

daughter entered the car,
Burton was in advance OF his wife and
daughter when they entered. Gov. Hoch
and another politician were occupying
chairs at one Of the small tables. Burton
and the Governor shook hands. Mrs. Bur-
ton followed and the Governor arose from
his chair and offered his hand.

/ moving her hand from the proximity OF
the Governors, IL will not shake hands
with you. You we're not our friend when
you could have helped us and l lDfuse to
nave anything TO do with you now.
The Governor very gracefully accepted
the situation and after speaking a common
place word or Two with the ex-senator
sat down and resumed his lunch.
Referring to the incident, Mrs. Burton
said:

friends are and | still reserve the right to

500, 900 GRAFT HUNT BEGUN.
San Francisco Citizens Employ Experts
TO Capture ORicIaI BOOdlers.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 21.-Francis j.
Heney, who convicted United States Senator
Williams and others OF land frauds in Ore
gon. has beer retained to uncover municipal
graft in San Francisco.
Backed with 100000, guaranteed by

prosecution OF all who have fottened on
graft before and since the fire.
District Attorney Langdon made Heney
a deputy in his office yesterday in Order
that he may proceed with ofhcial sanction.
Rudolph Spreckels has come TO the front
since the fire. He took charge of the refugee
camps andfn a week ended the souD kitchen
graft and cleared camps OF able bodied
loafers.
.Spreckels has been disguised bv the
Wholesale boodling and the inefficiency Of
the police, so he has guaranteed 500 900

CHURCH $50 YEARS OLD.
The Scotch Presbyterian Celebrates the
Anniversary Public Meeting Friday.

AN WV
AnBIVersary Public Meeting Friday.
The Scotch Presbyterian Church at
Ninety-sixth street and Central Park West,
the second oldest church OF the denomina-
ton in the country, celebrated yesterday
its l5Oth anniversary. The Rev. David
G. Wylie, the pastor, preached an appro-
pirate sermon in the morning and gave a
short history OF the church.
The first church was a very small strIct-
ure on Cedar street. which was replaced
in 1893 by a larger building. This build
ing was used as a barracks by the Hessian
troops during the Revolution. The third
building was at Crosby and Grand streets,
and in ls46 the congregation moved to
Fourteenth street. 1t was in the Four
teenth street building that DIR. Briggs was
tried for heresy. The present building was
put up in 1894.
The church is noted for it's long pastor
ates, there having been but six pastors
in $50 years. The present pastor has been
with the church fifteen years. 1t is esti-
mated hat during the $50 years OF its history
the church has contributed s., 900 600 to re-
ligious objects.
On Friday evening a large public meet
ing will be held in the church, at which
some Of the best known ministers in the
city will make addresses.

MAY CUT DOWN SIZE OF MONEY.
Secretary Shaw Considering the Question
OF Making Paper Notes Smaller.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Secretary Shaw
is considering the a~dvisability OF cutting
down the size OF the paper money now
issued by the Government, not the size OF
the denominations, but the actual size Of
the p itself. The suggestion that this
be done is the result of the recent issue OF
paper money intended for circulation inthe
Philippines.
The new notes, which are most attractive
in design, are from 20 to 200 pesos each in
value and are six inches long by two and a
half in width. The ordinary dollar bill is
seven inches in length and three in width
that is, with a surface area about one-third
greater than the Philippine notes.
The latter are considered by some Treas.
ury and banking officials "a much more'
convenient to handle or to place in a pocket
book of ordinary size instead of the cumber-
some wallet required to carry our green
backs without folding.

ELECTION BOARD
Never Had such a Mass or Protests to
AdJudIcate On.

After a meeting which lasted until mid
night on Saturday the Board OF Elections
adjourned to meet yesterday. The ses-
sion yesterday began at 10 o'clock in the
morning and lasted all day. 1t was not a
public hearing which was held yesterday,
the meeting being more in the nature of
a conference. n those who came trudging
through the rain to hear nov this and that
protest was going came in vain. They
we're not even let into the building.
President Voorhis had no statement
to make concerning the meeting, but said
that as all decisions on protests had TO be
filed by tomorrow the board had FOUND il
necessary to put in some extra hours.
All previous records for protests nave
beer broken this year, there being more
than $50.
To-day the board will undertake to hold
hearings on eighty Of these protests.

leyways, but he probably did. He
would not have been a full fedged
newsy otherwise, not in New York, at
any rate, and that vas where he sold
''papes." Some people who got their
start yelling "Uxtry!' do not want the
fact mentioned now that they have be-
come judges and things like that, but
others just as high up in the world
are not so particular. Abe Lincoln
never concealed the fact that he split
rails and clerked in a store. Nor Is it
related that Garfield was ever ashamed
of having driven mules on a towpath.
Mark Twain eve made any n of
telling that he had been a printers
devil and cub pilot. 1t is not related
that Bobbie Burns ever denied having
been a plowman, that Aesop ever tried
to crawl out of having been a slave or
that the Man of Nazareth ever sought
to refute the story that he was born in
a manager. If SO, why should anybody
blush at having sold papers? Especial
ly so when experience proves that
there are few better schools for de-
veloping keenness, independence and
manliness. Look at the next little chap

Of the sacred privileges of boyhood.
Some of the deeper shades of dirt
have faded off the hands and faces of
the lads in the Newsboys' home stu
ated nea Newspaper row in New
York. The gamins who lodge there
are required to wash occasionally and
to take a bath once a week. Somehow
the little chaps rather like the novel
experience. Maybe it is the shower
bath that reconciles them. And then
they have a chance to douse each other
and do athletic stunts. The average
boy has nc objection to water as such
provided he can get his whole body in
1t. He will even run off and take the
chance of a licking to go swimming.
1t is the application of water to his
hands and face that gals his proud
