Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Cortelyou last night made the impor
tant announcement that as a measure
Of affording relief to the financial sit
uation, the treasury would issue $50,
100000 of Panama bonds, and 500,
100000 certificates of Indebtedness
or so much thereof as may be neces
sary. The certificates will run for one
year and will bear per cent interest
The secretary's action in coming te
the relief of the financial situation
meets with President Roosevelt's
hearty approval.
Afford Substantial Relief.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford most sub
stantial relief, as the law provides
that they may be used as a basis fol
additional national bank circulation
He also states that the proceeds from
the sale of certificates can be made di
rectly available at points where the
need is most urgent and especially
for the movement of the crops. which
he says, IF properly accelerated viii
give the greatest relief and result ir
the most immediate financial returns.
The secretary calls attention to the
attractiveness of the bonds and certifi
Gates as absolutely safe investments.
Congress Will Act.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him tc
meet public expenditures without
withdrawing for that purpose any ap
probable amount of the public mon
eys now deposited in the national
banks throughout the country.
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou
approving the treasury plans, Presi
dent Roosevelt states that he has beer
assured that the leaders in congress
have under consideration a currency
measure which will meet in perma
nent fashion the needs of the situa
ton, and which l believe will be pass
ed at an early date after congress
convenes two weeks hence"
Conditions Are Sound.
The president also calls attention
to what is needed most at this time
that the people should realize. how
fundamentally sound business -condi-
tions in this country are, and how alb
surd 1t is to permit themselves to get
into a panic and create stringency
by boarding their savings instead Of
trusting perfectly sound banks"

agreement regarding the proper meth
cd of defense, and Mr.. Donovan in
court expressed desire to retire from
the case. Permission to do this was
refused by the court.
Attorney S. G. Perrin then address
ed the court declaring that Mrs. Ro-
madka was being railroaded to pris-

father of Mrs. Romadka, asked per-
mission to explain his attitude in the
case, but Judge Brentano would not
permit him to talk.
Assistant States Attorney Short de-
clared that no effort was being made
to railroad" the prisoner, saying that
she was receiving treatment similar
to that given in any other case. The
court asserted there was no intention
to hasten the proceedings, and turn
ing to Mrs. Romadka, asked her to
choose what counsel she desired to
represent her.
