BANKERS FRET ABOUT
MOVEMENT OF CROPS

tricts similar and with powers to
issue fiat money similar to the priv
ileges which clearing houses OF
Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Port
land have undertaken.
Those cities, it was learned, have
accepted clearing house certificates
at par and the bankers voted to ac-
cept at par certificates issued by
their banks.
The general opinion was that this
section of the United States will
recover from the financial string
ency soonest.
I'VE have the most imperfect
currency system on EARTH" is the
way Miles G. Moore, the staid old
banker from Walla Walla expressed
himself, and his remark on the
question provoked prolonged ap-
plause.
Bankers of Lewiston, Wallace,
Palouse, Big Bend and country
places are still paying cash, but
cannot do so much longer unless
Spokane bankers give up money 1t
was decided to pay Spokane CORE
spondents clearing house certifi-
Gates which were acceptable.
Banker Bassett, of Ritzville, was
somewhat humorous. He said cur
rency was the root of all evil and
he was half glad there was no
more of the root in use. He eX-
hibited to the wonder of bankers an
old fashioned greenback for $40, is
sued by the government in the year
1906. 1t proved quite curiosity
and was passed around.
Guy Brown, of the Wenatchee
bank, started something when he
protested against officers Of the land
department at Olympia, who have
sent out notices that all moneys
sent to the land Office must be cash
by express and not checks, certifi-
Gates or postal orders. Brown char
acterized the action as throwing
stumbling blocks in front of the
bankers.
w. ID. Vincent, cashier of the Old
National bank, in reply, said that
his institution had received a let
ter from state officials regarding
$1,000 a contractor had on deposit
demanding that the cash should be
paid out on demand and that he had
replied very pointedly to the effect
that the official was trying to dis
credit banks of the state and drain
government cash to stock coast
bank.
The question was not discussed
any further.
The following bankers took part
in the discussions:
j. p. M. Richards. Aaron Kuhn,
f. T. Conan, ID. w. TwOhy, w. d.
Vincent, II. H. Brewer, George S.
Brooks, of Spokane; F. F. Johnson,

Farnsworth, Wilbur; II. M. Boone,
Palouse; J. c. Lawrence, railroad
commission; r. McCraig, Rosalia;
A. e. Case, Watervilie; J. X. Nc
Cornack, Whitman.
A total of 161 bankers were at
the meeting which came to close
about 4 o'clock with a general ex-
preston of confidence in a speedy
remedy of conditions.

MINERS ARE
ENTOMBED

MAHON CITY. Pa, Nov. IL
Eight hundred feet beneath the sur
face of the earth, Michael McCabe,
miner, is entombed in a blind
chamber in the Draper coal mine,
awaiting almost certain death by
starvation, accompanied by all the
grisly horrors of thirst madness
and final insanity. Hope of rescue
is faint During the firing of a
mine blast yesterday McCabe ran
the wrong way from the explosion
and got into the blind shaft. The
roof caved in after him. Mine Of
ficials say he may be saved. His
wife and two children live in a cot
tage. but few feet from the scene
of the disaster
He is slowly dying in living
tomb. The rescuers are working
like Trojans to save him. but ex-
perts say it will be impossible to
reach him in time to save his life.
The miners comrades will not
spare their efforts and as desperate
a race as was ever run with death
is on.

NEW FIRE ALARM PROPOSITION

Councilman n. S. Pratt tomor-
row night will submit to the coun-
Gil a new ordinance providing an
auxiliary fire alarm system fran
chise of the Gamewell patent, such
as is now in use by the fire depart
ment and several large stores.
The scheme is fostered by Attor-
ney II. d. Merritt and has strong
backing. Mr.. Merritt will present
letters to the council from the
Washington Association of Under
writer's showing that on account of
the installation of such system in
Seattle insurance rates have been
reduced so cents on $1,000 and 81
on more than $1,000.
Merritt argues that this alone
should be showing enough that
such an auxiliary system is desir-
able and almost a necessity. Wher-
ever the Gamewell system is in use
insurance rates have been mate
rally reduced. Local business men
are strongly in favor of it, not only
because If offers extra fire precau"
tons, but on account of the saw
ing in insurance rates.
Fire Chief Myers has been shown
the plans and does not hesitate to
recommend them as such to offer
aid to his department and protec-
ton TO the public.
Fire Commissioner O'Brien, when
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-11-11

asked as to what the board will do
should the council ask that 1t make
some recommendation in the mat
ter, said that in so far as he has
learned the Gamewell system leads
the world and he would not take it
upon himself to criticize system
that has stood the test of time and
has been so highly recommended,
not only by Spokane's fire chief,
but also by fire chiefs of many 9TH
er cities.
Several months ago the council
turned down a proposition that the
city install such a system for the
reason that it was considered too
expensive. 1t Is believed Merritt's
plan, however, will meet with
small objection because he merely
asks for franchise, the company
bearing all the expense OF installa-
ton. At that time the Gamewell
representative exhibited the cen.
trail station instrument. which was
highly praised for its accuracy and
fine mechanical parts. 1t combines
fire and burglar alarm, notes on
a tape the time OF alarm, box num-
Der and requires the presence Of
someone In answer to Ii to shut IL
off. In the daytime 1t sounds
huge gong which may be heard for
blocks, and at night shows red
light that policemen on their beata
may see.

BURKEY ESCAPES

WALLA WALLA, Nov. IL
With but four months of five-year
sentence left to serve, James
Burkey, a convict sentenced from
Spokane for burglary, made his es-
cape from the penitentiary and is
still at large.
Burkey was employed In the
brick kiln and when the convicts
were formed into line to go to their
supper he slipped down on the out
side and made his way into the
darkness instead of joining the file
which went up to the prison. He
was a sort of trusty and was given
more liberty than the average pris-
oner, both on account of his good
behavior and because his sentence
was so nearly up. For this reason
he was not missed at once.
His escape did not go long I'm.
noticed, however, and guards and
bloodhounds weer at once put on
his trail. These showed the direc-
ton Of his fight was toward the
railroad tracks in the lowlands. He
is said to have been seen near
Dement'S mill with citizens coat
and hat but still wearing his striped
trousers. 1t Is thought he headed
to the track In an attempt to board
the night train for Wallula.

"How to get money to move the
crops" was the principal question
discussed at the noon banquet Of
bankers Of the Inland Empire at
Davenport's yesterday. After all
the country bankers had expressed
confidence in the city clearing
house association. it was decided to
hold the crop shipments for cash,
as it was only question of time
when cash would be paid for them
because wheat is something needed
in othre parts of the world.
1t is not so much the money
stringency in the country distdicts
as lack of transportation facilities.
The bankers by resolution asked
the state railway commission to dis
eliminate in favor of car ship
ments for wheat, and j. G. Law
renee, member of the commission
and banker. who was in the hall,
said the commission would favor
this as law allowed discrimination
on the part Of the commission for
the public good.
Following advice of e. T. Conan,
vice president of the Exchange
bank, the country bankers organized
central points throughout their dis.

The police have been notified of

fact that in each instance the COM

He DROPS OUT OF SIGHT

The police were notified last
night of another mysterious disap-
pearance which by reason of the
fact that the missing man feared
for his life from certain enemies
is rendered all the more complex.
On Oct. rs Angus McGoningle, age
AZ, of Wallace, Idaho, went to Elk,
Wash, and was seen there the fol
lowing Saturday. Since then his
whereabouts have been the deepest
mystery. The police traced him as
far as Elk, but there lost all knowl-
edge of him.
He was to have formed a partner
ship in the Square Deal employ
ment agency with ]. c. Smith, and
his object is going to Elk was to
raise money and also to get orders
for men to work in the lumber mill.

money to pay for his bed and
meals.
Commissioner Hubbard Is now
busy with an investigation Of Seat
tie agencies, after which he will
go to North Yakima and thence to
Spokane.
That the frauds practiced by en-
ployment agents were with keen
planning is shown by the fact that
since the ne wordinance, empower
ing the mayor to revoke license
on sufficient showing by complain
ants, not single case has been re-
ported Even the Macho agency,
against which there used to be an
average complaint of one day,
now seems to be conducting law
full business.

Dodge county, Iowa. brought an &C.
ton this morning to have sale of
100 acres of land six miles from

the ground of fraud and misrepre-
sentation. They claim that they
were induced by Attorney E. W.
Hand to deed it to Charles S. Web
ster for $500. on the attorneys rep
resentation that 1t would cost 500
to have a tax deed set aside. They
allege they were not notified the
land was in arrears for taxes and
that the subsequent public sale was
invalidated by reason that sum-
mons was issued to }. T. Smith and
never served because of his
demise.

on FRISCO CARS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IL
Latest development in the financial
situation is the appearance of 81
clearing house certificates which
are passing without much trouble
except on car lines, where the con-
ductors refuse to accept them on
the grounds that if they did so they
would soon be swept clean Of
change. A fight between a group Of
men and car men over the accept
ance of a certificate was averted
only by the presence Of police yes
terday. Generally, the certificates
are being accepted.

That there is no necessity to ad-

world for laborers to build the rail-
roads now under construction, and
to supply a scarcity in the local la
Dor market of common laborers, is
shown by the fact that in the last
few days large number Of Aus
TRANS who have been employed in

left for their homes In the old coun-
try, and it is stated that another
party Of 20 will leave tomorrow

secretary of the Eagles, under the
auspices of the Elks and Eagles
yesterday, was most impressive Be
fore Mr.. Pray's death he wrote
letter to Henry Sorg in which he
directed all arrangements. Elk
President Del Cary Smith delivered
the eulogy. Chaplain j. T. O'Brien
offered prayer and the Elks' quar-
tet sang Nearer. My God to Thee"
The funeral procession, led by the
Elks' band, was one of the largest
ever seen in the city. AT the grave
the ceremony was conducted by N.
e. Nuzum, past exalted ruler Of the
Elks.

The trip should not have consumed
more than three days.
When he did not return Mr..
Smith notified the relatives and po-
lice authorities. Mrs. McGoningle
writes from Wallace that her hus-
band has not been home nor been
heard from. He left about $3.50
worth of engineers tools with
Smith.
Mr.. Smith, when asked about the
missing man, said:
Although | am not at liberty to
state my reasons, know that Nc
Goningle life was sought by his
enemies. He had little money when
he left and If he has met with
foul play it cannot be charged to
robbery. He and | were to form

business on his return from Elk"

NEW PLAN To
KILL RATS

SEATTLE, Nov. 1.-THE board
of health has a new plan for the
killing off of rats. They will catch
a few of the rodents and innoculate
them with serum which produces
disease against them similar to
typhoid fever in human beings, but
which cannot be transmitted to any
animals except other rats, and turn
them loose. The infected rats rap
idly spread the disease among their
kind and the result is a rapid de-
cimation. This plan is said to have
worked successfully in many other
places.
