DoPED AND ROBBED At WExIo BAR

"Doped," was the comments OF
the police when early last evening
William Stewart, who rooms at the
Empire lodging house, reported
that he was robbed of 1907 in the
Wexio saloon
Stewart and two friends went to
the place about o'clock and had
a few drinks. About s O'Clock
Stewart awoke in a chair and felt
for his money. 1t was gone. His
two friends were also gone, but
he does not suspect they robbed
him. Detectives are investigating
today on the theory that Stewart
was known to have money and was
doped and robbed. The victim S
symptoms, the police say, indicate
that he was given something be-
sides intoxicating liquors. There
was some argument over this be-
cause some of the cheap liquor
sold in such places as the Wexio
is dope enough of itself

BRYAN DENOUNCES ADNlZNZS7RA TONS
NATIONAL BANK ASSET CURRENCY PLAN
T<l.Ss
BY r. +, FRAZER

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Nov. 10
VIM. Jennings Bryan, in an ex-
elusive interview with the CORE
spondent of The Press, declared in
the most positive language against
? the national administration plan
for an elastic currency outlined in
statements by President Roosevelt
and Comptroller Ridgeley. publish
ed in The Press yesterday.
| showed Mr.. Bryan this import
ant article, in which President
Roosevelt was quoted on the
money situation and the necessity
of a more elastic currency, and in
which Comptroller Ridgeley stated
that the best solution of the tight
money problem was a law giving
national banks the power to issue
currency on certain assets other
than government bonds, which now
form the security for bank note
issues.
Mr.. Bryan denounced this plan
as inadequate and dangerous, and
said that its effect would be to aid
the scheming eastern banks. He as
serted moreover that asset curren-
cy is not a ne w!dea. 1t has for
years been the dream of the ma
tional banks of New York and
other eastern cities.
Il believe that the democratic
party is a unit in opposition to
such a plan declared Mr. Bryan
with vehemence. # elasticity is
needed, it ought to be supplied by
the government. but by no change
in banking currency.
81 do not believe that the eastern
banks should be allowed to force
the country TO accede to their de-
mands for asset banking. Such a
currency would enlarge liabilities
at the very time when bank de-
positors are afraid that liabilities
are already too great.
1T is like pouring oil on fire.
What we need is legislation which
will remove the public fear This
plan would aggravate it.

When southern chivalry in the Lone

| Texas Jumped to the front rank In
freak legislation.
The other night an earnest soul from
the voting precincts Of West Pullman
sent chicken. goose and turkey ordi-
nance to the Chicago city council
which makes the Texas sheet ordi-
nance look as If 1t had been left in
the laundry tubs until 1t was mil
dewed. says tho Chicago Record

Alderman Bihl, father of the "cow
ordinance" who Is nothing II not ac-
commodating introduced the measure
OH behalf Of Lucius o. Wilson Of 1858
Lasalle street. Mr. Wilson writes
that his wife wants 1t passed. The
members of the council sent 1t to the
judiciary committee.
The chicken ordinance may lay on
the committee table. 1t may hatch

on until they decide to vote Its pas
sage, but none of them would come
out Of his shell and say SO. However,,
IL 1t is passed Mr.. Wilson can crow
over the victory while peace roosts
over his household.
First and last the chicken ordinance
Is intended to protect the cluck!ng hen

that all raisers Of chickens shall pro-
vide their domestic charges with

Furthermore. 1t is duly set forth
that any person who Is now raising
chickens or who desires to engage in
the business shall apply to the CON-
missioner Of health for permit. The
com missioner Is to have an assistant
who knows more about chickens and
eggs than the chickens themselves. He
has to 80 out and look over the ground
before permit can be issued. II the
chickens look as ii they were to have u
kind master or mistress and home

nance, are not to be allowed to run at
