the cause OF corruption in the municipa

entitled to under law.
"They want money--believed money.
And how shall it be easiest made by such
corporations as the United Railroads :"
continued he. "All you have to do is
to change a twenty million dollar cor
poration overnight into ninety million,
and if you take enough from the cars to
pay interest at 4 Or per cent a year
upon your ninety millions you win find
bankers willing to buy your bonds and
stocks. and who thereafter deplore and
denounce men who from sense of pub
lie duty demand that this sort of thing
shall stop because, say these bankers,
they are hurting business.
"They are hurting your own, yes; and

prosecution was keeping Ruef for if he
did not trust him. Heney replied:
"That's our business
Byington then emoplained that the
defense had no chance to talk to Ruef,
that the prosecutions guards were al.

him. We wanted to see how much you
would offer him, we" a demonstra-

BANKS MUCH GRATEFUL
G GOVERNMENTS PLAN is MEET
ING WITH HEARTY APPROVAL
THE ISSUE @ BANANA BONDS
Is Believed Will q rtainly Restore
Strong Confidence n Money Circles

New York, NoT. 1S.-Gratification
was the prevailing tone in banking
circles today over the government
plan of relief 70 the money market
by the issue of $50, 100000 in Pana-
ma bonds and S1OO,O0O,OOO in one
year treasury certificates. The issue
of Panama bonds had been counted
upon as a probability since it was
first referred to some ten days ago.
The issue of shoft-term certificates
was more of a novelty, and as such
attracted more discussion. The gen.
eral opinion in banking circles was
that both measures would tend TO
draw idle money from private boards
and thereby to break the premium on
currency and restore normal condi-
tons in the money market
So strong was this feeling that it
was understood thai gold engage
ments would practically cease after
today International bankers decIar-
ed that the gold already engaged Is
as much as New York can justly take
from Europe under the strained con-
ditions which prevail there, and that
to take more will only compel its re-
turn at a later date.
