DISCUSSED PLANS
OF NEW ARMORY
Adjutant General Harrington Held
Conference With Committee of
Commercial Club.

Adjutant General A. P. Tarkinton
returned yesterday from Albuquerque
where he had a conference with a
committee of the Commercial Club OF
that city relative to the new armory
building to be erected there. The
Territorial legislature in 1903 made an
appropriation of $4,000 to be utilized
for the construction Of armories for
the companies of the New Mexico Ma
tional Guard in albuquerque and Las
Vegas.
Albuquerque business men propose
to have the armory building in that city
made large enough for use also as a
convention hall and an effort will be
made to raise sufficient money to
make UP the difference IN the cost OF
construction. Plans were discussed
at the conference with the adjutant
general with regard to the size of the
new structure, the material with
which to have it built, and other fea
lures. The building will be one story
in height and have truss roof SO as
to obviate the necessity Of having pill
lars or posts in the main hall.
1t is the intention of the Albuquer'
queans to have the new armory and
convention hall completed for the
forthcoming session next fall Of the
National Irrigation Congress.

.R|DGELY FAVORS
CENTRAL BANK
Recommends Such
in His Report
to Congress
CAUSE OF RECENT PANIC
Comptroller of Currency Says
Banks Not Depositors
Lost Confidence.

Washington, Dec. 16.--In his annual
report to Congress today, William b.
Ridgely, comptroller of the currency
refers to the recent money tightness
in the United States and suggests a
remedy.
The report says that the deposits
in all the banks reporting to the
comptroller were S13,099,615,34S, a
gain of over five thousand eight hun
dred and sixty million dollars within
the past seven years. The total OF
capital stock money was reported
July 1st of the present year at $3.1l5
600,00
THE conditions which led to the
panic of October and November, 1907
were not due to the figures OF any
individual bank" says the report
They were not due to lack of conf
dence of the people in banks, but to
a lack of confidence of the banks
themselves in their reserves. They
feared that they had not sufficient
currency and the result was cur
rency famine. The way to remedy this
state of affairs is to improve the re
serve system so that the reserve de
posits of small banks can be kept in
banks where they will surely be avail
able. We must impart to our cur
rency system some element Of elias
ticity, so that when 1t comes to a
sudden demand for currency, it can
be supplied in bank notes, without de
pleting the supply OF reserve money
These desirable changes can best be
accomplished, in fact can only salts
factorily be accomplished, through
the establishment by the government

JURY REFORM
BILL READY
Administration Measure TO Be
introduced This Week In
the LEGISLATURE.
special to the EvENfNO NEWS:

TRENTON, Jan. 21:-Following
the recommendation made by Cover
nor Stokes in his message to the pres
ent legislature there will be introduc-
ed into the legislature this week a
jury reform bill. 1t will be repub-
lican administration measure and will
probably be handled by Senator Bar
ton B. Hutchinson. of Mercer coun-
ty. Senator Hutchinson introduced
and advocated the jury bill passed by
the legislature last year.
Governor Stokes, in an interview
with your correspondent today, said
the forthcoming measure would fol.
low closely the ideas presented in his
message on this question. The bill
will be devoted largely to the reform
of grand juries. and in this respect
will be even more important than the
measure passed last winter Cover
nor Stokes, in his message, said :
"The selection of grand jury should
not be vested in any one individual.
9 The selection of such bodies
by lot out of list of citizens of the
county, after such list has been re-
vised by the judge of the Court of
Common Pleas, would serve the de-
mands of fairness, and would take
the grand jury panel out of the sus-
picion of influence or favoriteism. A
panel so drawn would result in grand
juries that would treat every case
upon its merits and would weigh
every consideration in the scales of
even handed justice"
This proposition to give the county
judges the right to pass upon the
selection of the grand juries will be
one of the the most important feat
ures of the bill. The change that the
measure, If enacted into law, will
make in Middlesex county will be that
the sole power of selecting grand
jurymen will be taken from the hands
of Sheriff Andrew S. Church. The
sheriff will select the jurymen as for
merly, but the selection will then be
passed upon by county Judge.
The proposed new law will place
in the hands of Judge Booraem the
power to revise the selection of the
sheriff by substitution and elimina-
tion, should the judge deem the Sc
lections of the sheriff were not en-
tirely proper to serve the best ends
of justice.
Governor Stokes will lend his infiu-
ence for the passage of the measure.
The governor believes, as he said in
his message: THE power of indict-
ment is too great and far reaching to
be exercised except in the fairest
manner possible " . A mans repu-
tation is too dear to be at the mercy
of his opponents who may be vested
with power, and the public welfare is
too important to be thwarted by a
failure in the administration of JUS
tice because yiolators of the law have
influence in the selection of grand
juries."
