For State Bank Law Changes

New York, Dec. The commission
appointed by Governor Hughes to
recommend changes In the state
banking laws has under considera.
tion, among other things, changes
to the laws regarding trust compan.
les which will require large reserve
funds to be kept.
The first plan is for all trust com.
panies to keep on hand 25 per cent
OF all deposits, OF no matter what
character, 10 per cent to be depos
tied In banks and the other 15 per
cent to be kept In the company's
vaults.
The other plan provides for a re.
serve fund equal to rs per cent Of
all demand deposits with only a
nominal reserve, perhaps only s per
cent required on time deposits. The
passage OF laws embodying either Of
these plans, It Is believed, would In
duce many Of the trusts companies
to enter the clearing house or estab.
lish q central body oil their own.

Tells OF an Anarchist Plot.

Budapest, c.-The Nap, a

sensational story to the effect that
an Anarchist plot upon the lives Of
Emperor Francis Joseph and Arch.
duke Francis Ferdinand, the heir to

The store would appear to beiound.
ed on the fact that the Hungarian
police were informed recently that
four widely known Anarchists had
left Geneva for Hungary with the
object OF making an attempt upon
the life OF Francis Ferdinand. The
police were instructed to watch the
frontier closely, but 80 far as is
known no Anarchists have yet enter.

In answer to an inquiry concerning
the reported Anarchist plot against
the lives of Emperor Francis Joseph
and .Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
1t was officially declared here that
the government had no information
whatever to bear out the suggestion
that the Anarchists who are suppos.
ed to have left Geneva for Hungary
had any designs upon the emperor
or the heir to the throne, and the
Idea OF any such attempt was dis.

SANTA FE TO GROW TIES.
Seven Thousand Acres in Cali.
fornia to be Planted With
Eucalyptus.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-The Atchison, To
peks 4 Santa Fe railway proposes
to grow It's own railway ties. To
that end ranch OF 10, 900 acres hat
been purchased in San Diego county
California, and 1000 acres will bt
planted In eucalyptus trees. The re
naming 5000 acres will be used al
an experimental station and serve
as an object lesson to the farmers Of
that vicinity.
This step has been taken because
OF the increasing lear that before
many years the native timber Of the
United States will be exhausted. II
has been demonstrated that wood oil
the eucalyptus tree will outlsst any
other when used for piles, ties and
bridge work.
While the planting OF trees has
been started 1t will be from fifteen to
eighteen years before any Of them
will be large enough to cut. At that
age each tree can be cuti two ties
and the Increase from then on is
more rapid.
With its present mileage the Santa
Fe uses 3 million new ties yearly,
which In the fiscal year ending June
80 last, cost 81, 393,973. Il Is esti-
mated, however, that at the time set
for the maturity the eucalyptus
ranch will produce each year I mil.
lion ties, giving surplus over pres
ent needs o. 4 million a year.
