SHAW AND NATIONAL BANKS
Public Money Deposits to Be Recalled
on Dates Specified.

Secretary Shaw was asked today as to
whether there would be any further extern
sion of time for the return of public moneys
now temporarily on deposit in national
banks. On September "a last the Secretary
distributed $29,OOO,OOO among the nauonal
banks throughout the country with the no.
tice that it probably would be recalled
about February 1. 1907. Some time later
81. 100000 was similarly deposited on con-
dition that it be returned between Janu-
airy 20 and February I. but subsequently the
time was extended to February and TO-
The Secretary stated that luere would be
no further extension as to the last eposit
Of 80. O08. 600, and the banks holding the
same would be notified that one-half Of
each deposit would be required on Febru-
AIRY i, and the remainder not, later than
February 15
Regarding the 2e.OO0, 600 the Secretary
said there had been no definite time fixed
for its return to the treasury. So far there
had been no requests from any Of the de-
positaries for additional time, but in view
Of the fact that for every month Of the
present fiscal year, except July, there has
been q large excess Of government receipts
over expenditures now aggregating about
$40, O00, 900, he does not feel like pressing
for the return to the treasury of money
that is not needed, and, therefore, II Is not
unlikely that such depositaries as desire to
do SO will be permitted to retain their
present allOtments for some months or
until changed conditions make 1t necessary
to require their return.

DEFENSE OF KANSAS
HOT CoLLoQUY BETWEEN CAMP
BELL AND MANN.

Representative Campbell of Kansas made
an inpassioned defense of the great state
from which he halls on the floor Of the
House this afternoon, during the consid-
GRAFTON OF the agricultural appropriation
BILL Mr.. Campbell moved to strike out
the appropriation for the weather bureau,
remarking that II the predictions sent out
from the bureau were as bad generally as
they were In Kansas, the service was
worse than useless and should be put out
Of business.
Mr.. Campbell seemed to be particularly
excited over the fact that Prof. willis
Moore sent out some days ago a state
ment that there had been no change in the
weather In Kansas during the past seven
teen years.
Every farmer and every farmers wife
knows better than that" said Mr., Camp
bell. and he went on to tell the Interested
and somewhat amused House that cyclones
have disappeared, that the rainfall had been
increased. that bufraloes no longer wal
lowed and gambeled on the prairies of
Kansas, that the -whiskefed ."pops''
had disappeared, and that generally condi.
tons had vastly improved.
Representative Campbell and Representa-
tive Mann Of Illinois got into a hot discus
sion as to the relative windiness of Kansas
and Illinois, which was cut of by Repre-
sentative Wadsworth of New York, who re-
marked that after listening to the colloquy
between. the two gentlemen he was con-
WINGED that there couldn't possibly be any
wind left in either Kansas or Illinois.
Mr.. Mann had suggested that the bureau
might have been more successful in pre-
dieting Kansas winds since Mr.. Campbell
removed to Washington. After several
humorous speeches the appropriation was
agreed to. and Kansas, as well as other
parts of the country, will continue to get
predictions concerning climatic conditions

That Continues to Be the Only Elk
cuse Offered for Letter.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, January "a (de-
layed in transmission).-The lack of CO.
operation on the part of the central control
here Is greatly hampering the work of ex-
tending relief, providing shelter for the
earthquake sufferers, pulling down the un-
safe walls and repairing the damaged build
ihgs, for which Gov. Swettenham Is severely
condemned. -----ss..-~ -. "a
The Daily Telegraph in an editorial today
Thursday says: His excellency Gov.
Swettenham) is still careering around the
city, poking his nose into various corners
and attending to- petty details which his
subordinates ought to attend to- The result
Is that when prominent officials and other
gentlemen In charge Of important work call
at Headquarters House to consult him they
cannot find the governor. There Is total
absence of deliberate, organized move
ment. This is a state Of affairs on which
the British and colonial governments cannot
congratulate themselves" -'s-.-'' ..-,4
An instance Of the governors untimely
obstructive measures Is the police enforce
ment of the regulation forbidding the re-
erection Of buildings, even wooden shacks,
without the city surveyors approval of the
governor has completely lost his head and
Is utterly unequal to the task of meeting
the emergency.
Colonial Secretary Burne today caused
the publication of letter in reply to the
letter of the American consul, Mr.. Orrett,
saying that his recollection Of the visit of
Admiral Davis to headquarters, when the
permission to land sailors was given, does
not agreed with Mr.. Orrett's version, but he
does not say how it differs. -.---'-
Eugene Magnus, manager Of the Cross
well store, which the governor in his letter
to Admiral Davis said the Americans had
cleaned up, denies the governors version of
the affair. He says the sailors merely
assisted in getting out the safe, during
which work Swettenham arrived on the
spot and angrily protested because the
sailors were Americans. -..-
A report issued by Health Officer Ogilvie
today warmly thanks the crew of the bat
tleship Missouri for their assistance in
erecting tents, and commends the services
Of Surgeon Norton of the Missouri in estab-
fishing the American hospital in Winches-
ter Park. The report that the sailors were
guilty Of looting Is authoritatively denied.
Earth tremors continue, but at longer in
tervals and in decreased intensity. =
Gov. Swettenham has cabled to the secre-
tary of-state for the colonies that the pro-
visions received are more than ample for
the relief Of the destitute. and that no
further funds are needed except for the re-
building of the houses Of the lower and
middle classes. -
A committee of resident Americans, of
which the United States consul, W. H.
Orrett, is chairman, and C. s. Chamberlain
secretary, has been formed to solicit the
losses sustained by Americans here as
result of the recent earthquake. 1t is re-
quested that all remittances be sent to
Consul Orrett.

1sTHM1AN CANAL CONFUSION.
Senate Committee Would Supplant It
With One-Man Control.

Following out the Presidents recon-
mendation that the isthmian canal conf
mission should be reduced to three men,
beers. or. better, still, one member, the Sem
ate canal committee expects to have ready
for consideration on Tuesday next a bill
abolishing the commission entirely. In the
same measure provision will be made for
the President to appoint one man, pre-
sumably the chief engineer in charge of the
construction, to exercise full control and
name his subordinates. All canal en-
ployes, however, are to continue under the
War Department.
Senators Hopkins and Knox are drafting
the bill, having been selected for this serv-
ice by the full committee. There are a
number of features they have not yet
worked out to their satisfaction, but they
are giving the subject attention in the hope
that a bill may be drafted which will meet
the wishes Of the full committee and pass
both houses.

governor an apology for his letter to Ad-
miral Davis. This apology has been trans
tary to the State Department at Washing

GOV. swETTENHAM's FUTURE.
This Government Has Not Asked fo1
Resignation ~-'--.---- =

No advices have been received at the
State Department confirmatory of the re-
port that Gov Swettenham of Jamaica will
resign because of his clash with Admiral
Davis. 1t was positively stated today at
the State Department that no representa-
lions have been made by this government
to Great Britain asking for the resigna-
ton of Gov. Swettenham. In fact, a high
official said that the resignation Of the
Jamaican governor would be regretted by
the American government, as many persons
might think that he had been forced out
through the efforts Of the United States
officials.
A cablegram was received last night by
the State Department from John r. Carter,
United States charge de affairs at London
regarding. the Swettenham-Davis episode
and the message. which was forwarded to
the President, formed theme Of discus
sion at conference held at the White
House between the President and Secre-
tary Root. The message from Charge Car
ter was not made public.

Because Of opposition in the New Jersey
legislature to the reelection Of Senator
Dryden of that state, the senator today ad-
dressed letter to the republican leaders

cost Of steel might be excessive. Bricks and

they are hopeless in the case OF an earth

Mortar Is quite discredited. as the houses
built of that in the cities of Jamaica were
shattered by the earthquake. and burned
in the subsequent fire. Wood has the ad-
vantage of cheapness. Reinforced concrete
