The Comptroller of the Currency TO-
day issued call for reports of conditions
of national banks at the close of bushes;
on Tuesday December 8. There j;
unusual significance in this call Of the
Comptroller. 1t will not only enable
banks which have been holding curen-
cy for the purpose of making good
showing let great wad 90, but, 10 the
view of Treasury officials, ii will be the
means Of showing the country at large

Utterly worn out by her experiences
OF the past three weeks Mrs. Annie
Bradley is resting at the home of her
friend, Mrs. A. B. hayes. Her plans
for the future are still uncertain. She
wishes to return to Utah as soon as pos
sible, there to begin life anew among the
old friends who will understand her
better than others could. She may pos
sibly be delayed in Washington for sew
erai days, on account Of the illness of her
son. Montgomery, who is Just recovering
from serious case Of pneumopis.
Already fund has beel started for Mrs.
Bradley, to which is understood num-
Der of the jurymeu, whose verdict set her
free, have subscribed. Most of the sub
scriptions received by the local papers
have come anonymously. Mrs. Bradley
spoke today of the late Senator Brown
without emotion. 1t seems TO be her de-
sire to eradicate his memory. To this
end she left in her cell at the District
Jail the picture upon which she looked
daily during her years imprisonment.

Inc man who ruined my liie," she said.

The new "double eagle" is cut minus
'In God We Trust" The first speci-
mems of the new $40 coin, designed By
st. Gsudens, we're shown around the

the Presidents head.
The President will receive the men,
bers Of the republican national commit
tee at the White House on Friday after
noon.
Republican politicians anticipate live
~ times here before The end of the week.
rhe republican national committee will
meet on Friday and it is expected that
in addition 10 the election of g chairman
and selection Of a convention, city and
date, the Tait.Foraker scrap will be
dragged into the arena, and the forces
for and against the President will "get
busy" with their bludgeons. The fact
that Arthur Yorys, Tsft's political man.
ager, is in town, adds to the interest. 1t
is whispered that Vorys may be per-
suaded TO make some tentative overtures
for peace 10 Foraker or FOraker's friends,
in order TO smooth TIE ground for the
war minister III the Ohio campaign, but
If THE programme is seriously contem-
plated by Vorys, he is mum on the sub
eCt. The anti-Roosevelt members of
the national committee will make de-
termined effort to GUST Harry 8. New
from the Craftsmanship. New was vice
chairman under Oorlelyou and when the
latter resigned the craftsmanship soon
after he became the Secretary of the
Treasury, New assumed charge. At the
meeting of the committee on Friday, q
permanent chairman and vics chair
man will be selected. Ia spite OF
he anti-administration influences, the
chances are largely in favor of New get
ing the hsst place. New is believed 10
% a strong Taft advocate, although he
comes from Fairbanks State.

)ers of the republican national commit
zee who have arrived, is tina! Kansas
Jity will get the convention.
