NEW PLAN TO STOP
FINANCIAL PANICS.
And incidentally to Assist in Roofing
Out the Gambling Spirit from
Human Nature.

P1TTSBURG, Aug. 23.-Clarence V.
Tiers, vice-president of the Dollar Savings
Bank, yesterday sent 70 President Roose-
welt a letter of suggestion tending to the
suppression of combinations of organized
wealth TO create panicky conditions, and
thereby causing lack of confidence and
hampering the prosperity of the country.
Mr. Tiers is a publicist and economist. In
the letter he says:
LAS a possible means to protect the
legitimate business interests, the wage
earners n bread-winners of the whole
country from untold injury due to Indus
trial stagnation, l respectfully suggest that
the necessary steps be taken TO prevent the
Interstate transmission and publication OF
stock exchange quotations.
AS stock exchange quotations are very
largely the reports of mere gambling
transactions, ! believe their wide trans
mission and publication could be legally
prohibited in the same manner or upon the
same grounds as Louisiana lotteries and
other such gambling transactions are now
prohibited by the national government.
There will probably be no better oppor-
tunity then at present to practically put an
end to 'bucketshos' and stock exchanges
and the whole chain of consequent evils"

OCEAN STEAMSHIP RATE
WAR NOT BEGUN AS YET.
Company Representatives in New York
Say They Know Nothing About 1t
and Do Not Exnect It.

NEW YORK. Aug. 23-The report from
Berlin that a rate war in cabin transporta-
ton between the Cunard fine. the North
German Lloyd line and the Hamburg Amer
lean line had broken out was denied at the
office of the Cunnrd line today. 1t was
said thnt no information of that nature
had been received from the home office.
Il Is known, however. that when the
new Cunnrder Lus.tania enters on her first
trip from New York to Liverpool the mini
mum fare for cabin accommodations will he
fixed at Sis, which is $3.50 less than the
minimum rate now In force on the German
lines.
Representatives Mt the local Offices OF
the Hamburg-American line and the North
German Lloyd line declined to discuss the
possibility of a rate war. but it was learned
that both German lines would cut theii
rates TO meet the new figure made by tht
Cunurd line. TO go into effect when the
Lusitania enters the service.
The big liner will sail from Liverpool on
the evening of September I and is due IN
New York six days later. She will sail fol
Liverpool on September 81.

BANK CLERKS SHORTAGE.
Securities Missing, as Well as the Mar
Himself.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Edwin Fl.
Potts, until a few days ago a trusted
employee of the American National
Bank of this city, Is missing, and the
police are looking for him on a charge
of stealing $11 900 of certificates of Erie
Railroad stock. Recently an examine
ton of Potts's books was made, and
when accounts were found to be irregu-
lar he was forced to resign. Since he
has left the bank the loss of the securi-
ties was discovered and steps were
taken to prevent the man from ecove
ing upon them.
The police have learned hat Potts
deposited a part of the securities with
a Baltimore banking house as collat-
eral for a loan. The others have not
been traced. Potts is believed to be
somewhere in Arizona. He was under
bond of 100000. which will indemnify
the bank. He came here from Lees
burg, Va, where he was employed in a
bank.

INTER- MET. REFUSES TO
PRODUCE ITS BOOKS.
Tells New York Public Service CON-
mission That It Is Only a
Holding Company.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s-Announeement
was made today that the heads of the In
terborough- Metropolitan Company have re-
fused to open their books to the Public
Service Commission because the company
Is not a railroad corporation but merely a
holding concern, and so not within the
jurisdiction of the commission.
The xpe accountants employed by Will
lam M. WINS, special counsel TO the com.
mission, to go through the books of the
companies now comprised in the INTERIOR
ough- Metropolitan, sought to get access to
the books for the purpose of ascertaining
the details of the merger agreement.
If the attitude of the railroad officials
is persisted in 1t is certain the matter
will go into the courts The practical
effect of this development may be to bring
up the question of the constitutionality of
the act which brought the Public Service
Commission Into being.

BANK EXAMINATIONS
ARE OF NO VALUE.
So Says Milton L. wicks, Referring to
the Government oficials-Favors
Doing Work by Clerks.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 2S.A-Another
attack on the present methods of bank
examinations vas made today at the
convention of the Associated Chapter
OF he American Institute of Banking,
Milton L. Wicks. of New York, declar-
ing that they are worthless because
partisan politics enter into the selec-
ton of the men who do the work.
Mr.. Wicks was reading a paper on
1.-The Value of Bank Examination by
a Committee of its Clerks" He strong
ly recommended this method of exam
lining. Mr.. Wicks also declared that
the country is at present threatened
with a volume of hysterical legisla-
ton, and said that the present effort
to restrain the profits of railroads will
make of constitutional liberty a hollow
mockery, unless the Supreme Court
prevents.

Indignation among many of the l4,000 de-

A BIRDS LOVE SONG.

A most magnificent fellow Is the king
bird of paradise, AMI his manner of dis
playing his charms to the female who
has captured his heart is in keeping with
his plumage. The kingbird of paradise
is small, six and one-half inches long,
having the head, throat and upper part
of the richest glossy crimson, shading to
orange crimson on the forehead. The
under parts are of a silky white, relieved
by nm orange-red throat bordered below
by a band of metallic green, while the
flank feathers are produced into long
plumes, of an ash gray color and tipped
with buff and metallic green, The two
middle tail feathers are produced into
long slender stalks, terminating in a won
derful disk Of emerald green; the beak
is yollow and the legs are cobalt blue.
During those ecstat1c moments In which
he proclaims his undying devotion to the
bird he desires for his mate, the body
is drawn close to the bough which serves
as a perch, while the head is bent down
ward toward the breast and the wings are
spread and extended forward so as almost
to meet in front of the downcast a as
though the performer were overwhelmed
by a sudden panic OF modesty.
Suddenly all Is changed; the body is ex-
tended to Its full length and the wings
are violently beaten as though fight were
gives himself a half turn, and, facing the
spectators, fiuffs out the silky white under
feather like an apron and throws up the
long flank feathers till they form a fan
arching above his back, and on either side
OF the gorgeously tinted threat, the beak
being now pointed skyward. Meanwhile
the tail has been drawn forward over the
back, 80 that the long, wirelike and disk
bearing feathers are raised high above
him. All the while the body Is swayed
gently from side to side, and this motion
causes the disklike ends Of the long tail
feathers to simmer In the light, like balls
OF FURNISHED metal being tossed to and
from In the air.
As if these strange antics were not
enough. he bursts into song, which bears
a close resemblance to that of the sky
lark. Then comes the finale. which lasts
only for a few seconds. He suddenly
turns right around and shows his back,
the white fluffy feathers under the tail
bristling in his excitement; he bends down
on che perch in the attitude of a fighting
cock, his widely opened bill showing dis
tfnctly the light apple-green color of the
gullet, and sings the same guraiing note
without once closing his bill, and with a
slow dying away movement Of his tail and
body. A single drswn-out note is then
uttered, the tail and wires are lowered
and the dance and song are over.-Chicago

H COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline OF
. points to an advance of 2 points,
which was just about as due on the
cables. Prices eased off to a net loss
of about 3@4 points on the active
months right after the call. but there
was no special pressure at the decline,
and the market rallied later to prac-
tically the closing level of yesterday.
Trading was very quiet. Some COM
plants of too much rain in the east
ern belt are reaching the trade and a
good demand for early new crop ship
ment Is reported from Texas.
The market was a little more active late
in the forenoon and ruled frmer on the
forecast for dry weather in the western
belt and Wall Street buying. Prices Mt
midday were about s to 10 points net
higher.
