done at the next meeting of the City Council. It was proposed to raise the street tax to s5, the majority of those present favoring the increase. There was some opposition, however, as It was cla<fned it was not necessary to raise the tax to this amount The matter will be taken up finally when the council meets again. The privilege license tax was taken up and many suggestions offered. While the discussion was general, it was evident the city fathers favor material increase in this tax.
 From statements made by the Mayor, it was shown that the present police force was self-sustaining, and that in his opin- ion it would not be wise to reduce the force at this time. MT. Byrum chall- man of the finance committee, was of the opinion that the increased privilege and street tax, together with the increased state appropriation for the schools. would be sufficient to meet the deficit caused by the loss of the saloon license. These matters will be taken up by the various committees and will be presented to the next meeting of the City Council

Pittsbura Situation Safe.

Pittsburg, October 31-The scarcity of currency in this city is the only feature of the local financial situation command ing attention. While no serious inoon- venience has as yet been caused to the general public, the situation is causing considerable anxiety to bankers.
 It is hoped that the plan of Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely to increase the bank note circulation will relieve matters but Pittsburg bankers were not over en- thusiastc today. The pay roll of the Pittsburg district is very large and the scarcity of money has been responsl.le for much activity among bankers to meet this item. 1t is said here tonight that local persons hold about $5,O0 GOO worth Of Pennsylvania railroad obligations. Shoii term notes amounting to $50,000,0O0, it Is said. fall due tomorrow, and will be taken up by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of New York. It is said the payment of these obligations will bring considerable relief to the money stringency here.
 The stock exchange remained closed to- day It was said, however, that condi- tons did not warrant the suspension of the exchange, but it was deemed prudent not to resume at this time It is be- lieved the exchange will reopen next Mon day. The run started yesterday on small Southside bank, continued today. All depositors, majority of whom are foreigners, were given their money on demand. The matter caused no interest in financial circles.

New Haven Conn, October 3l.-The Economic club of this city, an organiza- tion of business and professional men, and which includes in it's membership college professors and lawyers listened tonight to discussion of the question, "Is the Policy of President Roosevelt Against Capital?" by Henry Cews, bank CT, and John w. filling, attorney of this city. MT. filling attacked the policy of the President in strong terms, practically with reference to the packing industry, the Presidents ruling on the Standard oil company and the railroad rate ques- ton.
 Among other things Mr. Clews said:
 "Whatever President Roosevelt has done he has done to promote the public good. Whether his speeches have helped to cause distrust or not l contend that he had no intention of menacing the pros- perlty of the country in denouncing and instgating the prosecution of law-break- ing railway corporations and industrial trusts. While he was instrumental Tn turning on the light he was not respon- light revealed, and it is the revelation of graft and Illegal methods on the part of certain railway and other corporations through the acts of their responsible man agers and controlling capitalists that has undermined public confidence in many of them. The fact that in nearly every in- stance of government prosecution the guilt of the parties accused has been proved on their trial justfies President Roosevelt in his action"
