WAGES IN Cash,
REPRESENTATIVES
FROM WEST ASK

So tight is money in all parts Of the
West that even a member of Congress
can't nave his monthly salary check
o6shedl
This Is all the more remarkable when
It Is remembered that these checks are
drawn on no less a bank than the Treas
ury of the United States. But the fact
is that. since the present money string
eEey became Il fact the SeIgeant-at-
Arms of the House, who pays the sal
aries Of the Representatives has re-
ceiyed numerous requests from West
ern Representatives that their salaTy-
be expressed to them in CON Of the realm
instead of having il sent by check as
has been the custom for many years.
The reason given for the requests by
the Representatives is that the Western
banks viii not cash Eastern checks and
that they need the money, and, conse-
ouentlv. do not relish taking the risk of
having their Government checks turned
down by the banks in their own towns
and States.
The requests for the currency have not
come from Just few Representatives.
They have come from practically every
State in the middle West and far West.
Currency, therefore, IS sent 10 the
Represanratives by express, and the
costs of the express are paid by the
Representatives to whom the bundle or
bank notes Is addressed.

FORT GOVERNOR
Of NEW JERSEY
BY SMALL LEAD
Burton'S Defeat Alarm
ing to Political Lead
ers in Washington.

Washington statesmen ana Of
feials are busy today trying to ex-
plain and realize some of the re-
markable results of the elections in
thirteen States yesterday.
Surprises came thick and fast
There were instances Of brilliant
personal triumphs, as in the case of
the reelection by a handsome ma
iority of John B. Moran, of Boston,
as district attorney. There were
cases of cities going different
from all predictions. as in the case
of REPRESENTATIVE Burton's defeat in
Cleveland for the mayoralty. And
such a surprising thing as Ken
lucky going Republican is now a
part of the history of the day.
In New York Tammany was vic
torious. The ramparts built up by
the Republicans and the Hearst
forces in the fusion camp cut down
the majority to a new record. The
conservative figures from New York
are that Foley, the Tammany eandi-
date for sheriff, received a plurality
of 10000 over Ihmsen, the Fusion
candidate.
Present indications are that New
Jerseys governor viii be a Repub-
licap. Fort having carried the State
by a very narrow margin, according
to the returns nov in.
In Maryland Austin L. Crothers
was elected governor, and former
Governor Smith defeated Gov
ernor Warfeld in the primary
contest for the Senate. In Rhode
Island the Democrat, Higgins,
was elected governor. In Ken
tuclzy, the Republican. Wilson. is
hailed as having been elected. IN
Massachusetts, although Moran car
ried his election in great style, the
Republican, Guild, won the govern
orship by a large margin.
In Nebraska, the home of The
Peerless Leader. Bryan, the Repub-
licans won out. In Utah, the home
of the Mormons, the 'anti-Mormon"
party was victorious all along the
line.
Virginia, of course, plodded along
in an unsensational way to a safe
Democratic plurality in her election
of her Legislature. Carlin received
big majority for Congress from
the Eighth Virginia district.
As result of the defeat of Bur-
ton in Cleveland when he was run
ming against Tom Johnson with the
open and avowed approval of the
Administration. politicians in this
city are asking themselves whether
it does so much good, after all, to
put out candidates backed openly by
the Administration in purely local
conflicts.

That there have been for the
past two years internal dissensions
and dissatisfaction with the man
'agement of the Capuzaya Mining
Company, now receiving unpleasant
notice on account of the indictment
OF two of its officials, is made plain
by a sensational Capuzaya publica-
ton called the red book"
This pamphlet was issued for pri-
vate circulation some months ago
by the minority members of the
board of trustees and directors, and
holders Of stock, its object being TO
carry a warning to the stockholders
of what they foresaw as an impend-
ing crisis. Portions Of this remark
able publication read like chapters
from "Frenzied Finance" and some
OF the charges set forth win prob
ably be sifted before the District
courts during the pending litiga-
tion.
Contains Warning.
The "red book among other things,
contains a warning from a former sec
retary Of the company addressed TO the
stockholders. informing them, that when
he desired Information as to what dis
position was being made Of the stock
and money Of the corporation ne was
informed by Eugene Davis and F.. c.
Bryan. the present indicted officials,
that it was none of the comDany's
business what they Davis and Bryan
did with the money"
Equally as interesting as the red
book allegations. and a paramount
question to be settled by Justice Gould
when the companys affairs are aired
Friday, is the implied charge made by
affidavit OF two OF the trustees, +. J.
Heiberger and W. II. Allen, that a
safety deposit box containing valuable
collateral OF the company and partly
rented in their name has been i'm
properly opened by other persons who

Republicans seem more firmly con
