has aroused all over the world IL one
OF the eccentricities OF the times.
"Why. why, can our fleet sail only on

CAR MEN ASSAULTED

Young White Men Arrested Charged
with Attacking Them.
For apparently no cause, Motorman

at the car sheds near Byrd

Both men were struck by stones.
Brown receiving an ugly cash over the

back Of his head.
Just before tho assault they were
eating in tile little lunch room near
the sheds. When Brown stepped out
OF the door, after finishing his supper.
1T is alleged three young men. Lewis
Chapman, r. l. Crowder and Thos. b.
Figg. who sometimes keeps the gate
at the skating rink, rushed upon him,
but he was coon en- his guard and
knocked both Of them down. AS they
rose, one of them picked UP a large
stone. Weighing two or three pounds.
and struck him a terrible blow over
the eye. His assailants took flight.
About this time Conductor Ashworth
came out of the house and started in
the direction of the Y. M. C. a. Build-
ing, when stone, apparently from the
same source, struck him a stunning
blow on the back of his head.
The ambulance was summoned and it
was found that each man was quite
severely wounded,
All three OF the men charged with
the assault live III the neighborhood
OF the Jar sheds. and were soon arrest
ed and placed In the Second Station

of the New \ York clearinghouse
committee said in explanation of to-
days bank statement that tho clear
,ng. house banks have been taking over
the loans carried by the trust COM
panies, and that this Increased the
bank loans. Mr.. Nash added:
"1'he trust companies have In
creased their deposits in the banks
The total deposits have thus been In
creased without any addition TO tie
stock of cash, and naturally the per-
ccntage of reserve has fallen. 1 do
not regard this as significant. bu-
cause the increase of deposits by the
trust companies is payable, not in
cash. but in clearinghouse funds.
1.-THE changes in loans, deposits and
reserves are go much In the nature of
book keeping that they should not af-
feet the present situation.
The real matter in the bank state
ment is the supply OF cash. The LOSSES
during the week are not greater than
] expected.
Tile shipments to the interior and
the boarding of currency account for
the loss reported.
II believe that IRON now on there
will be an improvement The boarded
currency will respond, as 1t always
has, to the tempting premium that Is
being offered. The gold on the, way
from Europe will begin to flow in
