POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
ADVOCATED BY MEYER,
Postmaster General, in Chicago Speech
Also Makes Plea for Parcels
Post system,

CHICAGO. Nov. S.-Postal savings banks
and n parcels post system for the United
states were advocated by a member or
President R~oosevelt's cabinet. Postmaster
Ceheral George Won T.. Meyer. In an adj
dress before the Hamilton Club here last
n4ght. The Postmaster-Cenera launched
into the subject by outlining a plan by
which the government hopes to prevent
the sending away from America of mil
lions of dollars. which under present con-
ditlons are shipped abroad by foreigners.
I'VE know" he said, that last year $780,
100000 was sent away from here, much OF
IL because foreign immigrants wanted 1t
deposited In banks at home with which
they were familiar. Fifty and one-half
millions were sent to Austria alone, $11,-
100000 to Great Britain. 5000, 900 to Russia
and to Italy $19,0o0,Oco.
The government does not propose to
go into the savings bank business In COM
petition with other banks, but to afford a
place where small depositors may place
their money throughout the country with
a certainty that 1t will be secure.
las proof that the idea of competition
is not entertained we propose that only 2
per cent interest shall be paid or deposits.
BY fending to national banks at an In
tereet of 2h per cent. the postal savings
banks would be in a position to keep
money which is now boarded or sent back
to the fatherIand by suspicious foreigners,
bach into the hannels of circulation"

WIRELESS SYSTEM BEING
EXTENDED IN ALASKA.
Connection Between Boring Strait and
Puget Sound Expected in a Year.
New Station Radius $50 Miles.

WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-The new wire
less telegraph stations at Fairbanks and
Circle City, Alaska, are ready for opera
ton, according to advices just received by
Brigadier-Genera James Allen, chief
signal officer OF the army. The stations
are 14G miles apart and are designed to
have a radius of about $50 miles. Plans
have been adopted and the surveys made
for stations at various points from Nome
to Cape Flattery. Before a year has
elapsed the signal corps expects to have
in operation wireless connections from
Boring Strait to Puget Sound. This Is in
tended to supplement the Valdez-Stika
cable and land telegraph lines. which,
In the severe season, are difficult to keep
in working order.
There are wireless stations in opera
ton at Nome and st. Michael. a distance
of 1f miles across Norton Sound. The
station at Nome Will be enlarged and a
new station constructed at Fort Gibboa.
Another station has been constructed at
Valdez by the Navy Department, and
these will be operated with laval wire
less stations at Sitka and Cape F1attery.
1t is likely that stations will be construct
ed also at Eagle City and Gu1kana, in Oh
der to replace land lines between those
points which traverse the toughest coun-
try OF Alaska.
The wireless system between Nome and
ST. Michael has been operated without a
break during the last year, and has been
used for commercial business. These sta
tons have demonstrated the fact that
the wireless system for Alaska Is far
more feasible for the transaction of COM
mercial business than are the land lines.

ELECTRIC ENGINES MAY
MAKE 100 MILES AN HOUR.
Monster LOGON tive to Be Tested Be-
tween Claytt and Malaga Heavy
Rails and aies Placed for Them.

CLAYTON, Nov. ga hundred miles
al hour around a sharp curve is the
speed expected of the big $1,000 pound
electric engine that arrived here yester-
day. Two more engines of the same
type are expected soon. These en-
gines will make trials of speed between
this station and Malaga. Heavy rails
have been put down and every defec-
tive tie taken out to prevent the heavy
engine from spreading the rails.
Just before Franklinville there is q
sharp curve that has been equipped
with eighty railroad ties costing 5000
each. These ties are made of the best
steel, and each n is equipped on the
outer edge with a test gauge connected
to the rail by a piston rod that works
through brass boxes. These gauges are
to register the pressure r. the engines
against the rails.
A telephone line has been established
along the entire length of track where

COTTON CROP GlNNED
so FAR. SIlgl SHORT
Cold weather Early IN the Season Re
sponsible for the Delay in the
Gathering of the Staple.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-The Census
Bureau today issued It's bulletin showing
the total cotton crop of this years growth
ginned up to November / TO be 6,167,6O
bales. as compared with 6.9o6.8s5 bales for
1906.
The figures are the result Of the investi-
cations of the special agents of the bureau,
which. in addition to the figures given,
show hat there were 26.1S5 ginneries in
operation as compared with 1850 for 1905.
In the computation round bales are
counted as half bales. The result by
States for the present year is as follows:
Alabama, sos, 922 bales; Arkansas, 1854
Florida. 2s,6sT; Georgia, 1,195, SOS; Indian
Territory. f91, $50: Kentucky, 494; Louis
lana. 37T,5S6; Mississippi, 699.4s5; Missouri.
II. $50: North Carolina, 326, 49,: Oklahoma,
1919; South Carolina 7s3,o%; Tennessee,
1o9. 225; Texas. 1879, 496. Virginia, 2,349.
The backwardness of the ginning is due
10 the fact that the crop is from two &c
three weeks late on account of cold
weather early in the growing season.

ing Discount Rate.

NEW YORK. Nov. S.-The advance In
the discount rate of the Imperial Bank
of Germany from e1s to III per cent, an
nounced today from Berlin, is further evil
dence Of the determination of European
money centres to protect their gold stocks
against depletion by the United States.
The advance was fully anticipated, as
Governor Koch of the Imperial German
Bank said a week ago that an increase In
the English bank rate would lead to
similar action by Germany. and his course
yesterday in calling a meeting of the
directors of the Imperial Bank for today
definitely foreshadowed the advance. The
rate as now fixed Is the highest the Ger
man bank has ever had.
gold engagements ave been taken directly
from Germany, but the German stock Of
gold has been depleted indirectly as the
American engagements at other European
money markets have resulted in large ex-
ports of gold to England and Holland.
The American gold engagements already
placed In Europe approximate over $40,000,-
100. so that the present increases of foreign
bank rates do not operate as seriously as
they might have done during the early
days of the money ~stringency. About &c.,
100000 Of gold has already reached New
York. Including the Lusltania's stock OF

ALABAMA GOVERNORS
ATTACK ON RAILROAD.
President of Louisville and Nashville
Replies to Special Message
to Legislature.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Nov. 2--President
Smith, of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, has returned to Montgomery
from north Alabama and has given out a
letter in which he fatty denies statements
made by Governor Conner in his message
to the Legislature.
The letter is addressed to the Governor
and is In the nature of a reply to the
stateplent of the Governor that 1t had
ever been admitted that the railroad domi--
mated the policies and politics Of the
State.
The Of the Governors mes-
sage are taken up and separately denied.
The Governor is also criticised sharply
for his part III the Atlanta conference with
the Governors of Georgia II North Caro-
lima.
In his message TO the special session of
the LEGISLATURE Governor Conner insists
that the control and regulation Of the rail
roads by the State Is a question more i'm
portant than the making of rates or any
other matter in that it involves the ques-
ton of the right of the Safe to control
its ~internai affairs.
The message goes on to say that Milton
II. Smith, president of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, has held out against
the Alabama laws, while others have put
them into effect; has defied the State and
its people by conducting a lobby at the
capitol, openly admitting that his COM
pany had influenced legislation In the
past; has called the Governors of Ala
bsma and Georgia populistic; has vztssd
rates over night In defiance of State laws
and has generally refused to recognize
the right of the State to make laws APP
plying to transportation companies.
That the Alabama rate laws are not
conflscatory Is evident, the Governor says,
by the fact that they prevail in other
nearby States and provide profit. Finan
cial troubles. In his own opinion. " not

Reports.

NEW YORK. Nov. S.-Reports that
criminal prosecutions as q result of condi-
lions discIosed by the present banking
situation In this city are imminent gained
wide circulation In financial circles today.
II was said that representatives of the
Comptroller OF the Currency have thor
oughly Investigated the affairs of two
national banks which have been promi-
nentiy mentioned in connection with the
present troubled conditions. which led
them to make unusually minute reports to
their superior. just what the nature of
the reports was has not been disclosed.
When the reports of prospective criminal
action were taken to United States Dis
trict Attorney Stimson, he said that no
decision had yet been reached to prosecute
any one In connection with the recent bank
troubles. He said also that any such de-
cision would be nsde here and not In

Since the banking troubles in this city
