Carries Seven Years Supply.

James Mcneil Whistler and a
friend, strolling through a London
suburb,met a small boy. Whistler
asked him his age.
Seven" the boy replied.
"Oh, you must be more than SEVEN"
said Whistler, doubtfully.
Seven" insisted the boy, rather
pleased at being taken for older.
Turning to his friend, Whistler
said: do you think it possible that
he really could have got as dirty as
that in only seven years?"

PRESIDENCY LAUNCHED
Pennsylvania Hailed as Successor to
Roosevelt by Members OF
Congress from His
Own State

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The boom or
Senator Philander C.. Knox Of Pennsyl-
vania for the presidency was formally
launched at a notable banquet in this

publican congressional delegation placed

velts successor.

former Represen ative Joseph c. Sibley
to the Pennsylvania delegation in con-
gress. Mr.. Knox's candidacy was haileu
most enthusiastically by his colleagues
in congress.
When Senator Knox arose to respond
the warmth of his reception attested the
earnestness of Pennsylvanians in their
intention to urge his nomination.
Mr. Knox's declaration that the sug-
gestion of his candidacy must rest upon
his public career and the wishes of the
Republicans of rennsylvania was ap-
plauded.

ntWN OF PROSPERITY
HERE, SAYS HARTMAN
Railroad Magnate Believes Country
Is Beginning to Recover from
Severe Shock of Finan-
ciaI Stringency
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4-That the coun-
try is already beginning to recover from
the severe shock of the recent panic
is the opinion of e. H. Hartman as ex-
pressed in an interview published here
today: 1--WE are in the rebound from the
depression. and we are in it to stay" he
said.
There will be no falling back. Each
step that we are taking is firm. Under
meath the whole situation there is indus
trial stability. There is too much work
to be done and too great capacity for
doing it to allow long drawn out de-
preston. Teher are indications every
where that confidence is being restored
The country is too big and the people too
sensible to allow the acts of a few men
to shake their faith in the integrity Of
our great financiers and business men as
a whole
Naturally there was little scare al
first, but when the people saw that there
were rotten spots only here and there
they quickly recovered from their flight
The dawn of new era of prosperity Is
here. The overstrain on cash is being
relieved, and credit is once more neinp
allowed to perform it's normal work.

tary campaign that is being prosecuted

ber in a week. They are getting scarce

brought to the meteorological laboratory

Louis county, for the recovery of their
pretty brown-eyed 16-year-old daughter
Marie, who, they aiieSe, YES abducted

her abductors to Ell Paso, Austin,

he found her in the gypsy camp last

enty gypsies tore her from his arms by
their kings command, whereupon Thomp-

Hardship on Country
Banks

BY Associated Press.
z WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.--The newly ap-
pointed house committee on banking AMI
currency held it's first meeting today
spending two and half hours in discuss,
ing the currency question in several Of its
phases.
At the conslusion of the meeting sew
cral Of the members stated that as a re-
suit of the conference the members OF
the committee were no nearer together
than they had ever been before, notwith.
standing the same men-with the ex-
ception of three-composed the committee
during the fifty-ninth congress-
The only definite action taken at this
initial meeting was the authorizing Of the
chair to appoint a subcommittee of five
to draft and submit a currency bill &c
correct the present financial situation
There will be no hearings before the com
mittee until the subcommittee has fin.
ished it's task and the completed draft is
in the hands of the chairman.
The recurrence of two phases of the
currency question marked the conference
These were: The creation of elasticity II

committee was apparently agreed that II
will sanction no move to increase the
bulk of paper money, but will confine it.
self to the consideration of the best
means of injecting elasticity.
The plan of providing for the issuance
of national bank note credits which car
be instantly drawn into circulation when
general condition requires an increased
currency was passed and discussed al
some length.
Tho view was strongly urged that the
laws should be changed so as to prevent
the absorption of reserve moneys in ma
tional banks by banks in reserve cities
National banks are required to hold ir
reserve cities three-fifths of their reserve
capital. and 1t was pointed out that under
this requirement country banks have tc
send this reserve portion to the nearest
designated reserve city, whose banks, II
was asserted, loan 1t out and in time OF
sudden emergency find themselves unable
to respond to the call of the country
banks for return of the deposits.
Several members of the committee ex-
pressed the opinion that the loaning OF
reserve funds should be checked by legis-
lation.
