lUTH BANKERS ACT IN
SElF.DEFENSE.
FOLLOW LEAD OF BIG CITIES

st. Paul. Oct. 29.-The bankers Of
the three large cities Of the state met
yesterday and adopted the measures
that the banks of all the large cities
in the country have taken to prevent
q drain Of cash. The banks in the
large business centers decline to ship
money at present, and the Minnesota
banks, in self-defense. will adopt the
plan in force in other cities.
The following was adopted and
signed at the meeting held yesterday:
In view of the action Of the banks
in the central reserve cities OF New
York, Chicago and st. Louis in refus'
ing to ship money against balances
due us, be It
Resolved. That for the protection
of our commercial interests and fol
the purpose of preventing a drain OF
money from the banks, the banks and
bankers of Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth. do hereby agree to adopt sub
stantially the plan recently adopted
in New York, Chicago, st. Louis
P%ittsburg, Milwaukee, Indianapolis
Des Moines and other cities, viz:
Require Notice.
THAT we will not pay out money
on checks, certificates Of deposit OF
drafts, except for small sums, and
that for the present no money will be
furnished to bank correspondents
but we will certify checks on balances
in our hands, payable through cur
clearing houses only. The savings
banks and trust companies and the
savings department of banks having
such departments will require the six.
ty and ninety day notice to which
they are entitled by law.

acted by means of checks and only Z
per cent by means of money, it will
be readily seen how little inconven,
fence will be caused to the business
community by the plan adopted by the

Will Be Temporary.
"The payment of checks and draft
through the clearing house will pre-
coed in the usual way through til
regular channels. These checks an
drafts may be deposited in the bank
as heretofore, and their protection ha
been fully provided for by this az
ton.
Outside of the above restriction
business will be conducted as usua
and it is believed that these condi
tions will be temporary and of shor
duration"

each occasion proves the falsity Of this
impression. A regal arrival and parade
never fails to bring out thousands of
spectators as If they never had seen

LI0NESS WAS SCARED
AS MUCH AS PUBLIC

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, April 27.-An anaemic lioness
who escaped from a menagerie at
Reims yesterday has disgraced forever
the magnificent traditions of her kind.
She had been restive for some days,
and when her keeper was STOPPING in
the cage she gave him a gentle push
knocked him over and escaped through
the open door. She was somewhat be-
wildered by her sudden liberty, and in
her excitement made a dash for the
market place, knocking down a small
child on the way. The child, a par
ticularly bad tempered youngster,
her.
This caused the lioness to hurry, and
in her terror she came. into collision
with an old woman, who was knocked
over by superior weight
Then brave young man appeared in
the way and said "Shoo!" whereupon
the lioness bolted down a side street,
causing great CONSERVATION. She over
took a butchers cart and the butcher
boy fled in terror, leaving his goods
to the lioness who stopped to enjoy a
good round meal.
The butcher boy spread the alarm
that an entire menagerie was loose in
the streets. The timorous shut them
selves up in the house, but few of
the braver spirits deter. ined for the
first time to enjoy the delights of big
game hunting. They were led by an
artilleryman, with a drawn sword, and
several peasants brought up the rear.
The lioness, having finished her meal,
strolled into the market place, to the
CONSERVATION of the women shoppers,
who were quite unaware of her pacific
intentions.
Her pursuers did --ot dare to go near
her. but fired several ineffective shots
from distance. The mayor then came
on the scene, and pronounced the ami
NAL to be a particularly furious beast.
He called out a squad O. soldiers. and
they, with the keeper of the lioness at
their head, came UP with the beast in
blind alley.
When the lioness saw her keeper she
ran up to him and T. bbed her head
affectionately against him, before trot-
ting home at his side.

WIVES
KNOW OF DUELS2
OR DO CONTESTANTS FIGHT
BETTER OTHERWISE?
That is the Question Agitating Paris
Today, and Women Are Writing
to the Papers About It
by the Yard
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable TO The Herald.
PARIS, April 27.-Has a wife the right
to know beforehand of duel in which
her husband is to risk his life?
That question was asked by q news
paper and it has precipitated lively
controversy in ink in the public press.
One woman writes that she learned
by accident that her husband was to
light, followed him to the "feld of hon
Or disguised as q pastry cooks boy,
witnessed the combat and caught her
husband as he reeled from blood-let-
ting sword cut.
Because wives began to get suspicious
of their husbands rising early in the
morning under the imperative need of
long draughts of pure air, he dueling
hour, which used to be in the morn
ing, has been changed to II, or even
later.
Wives argue in the newspapers for
the abandoning of the long customary
silence, because, as things are, the
slightest absence of their husbands
gives them anguish. They are always
dreadtng to see him brought home pale
and wounded on a stretcher, when per-
haps their spouses have only fingered a
little longer than usual over an inno-
cent game of billiards before dinner
The main reason for concealing i'm
pending duels from wives is that the
affair often springs from intrigues and
concerns the fair fame of other women.
Veteran due.ists cling to the ancient
tradition. Women, they say, have
nothing to do with affairs of honor,
and it would be a share for man to
tell his wife, who then would employ
every means to stop the duel, eIen talk
ing the dishonorable course of inform
ing the police. They add that the faint
hearted could always plead wife's in
reference to shield his own cowardice.
Various other questions relating to
women are being discussed.
After bitter opposition from old stag
ers the all-pewerful society of litera-
teurs which regulates the whole pub
fishing trade in France and holds even
authors in an iron grip in order to save
the whole brotherhood from being
robbed" has elected a woman to be
member of the council. She is hte well
known novelist whose pen name is DAN
iel Lesueur, whose books are among
the biggest sellers of all the French
novels. She is the first woman to be
admitted into that august body since
in it's early days, through Flauberts in
fuence, the great Georges Sand sat in
it.
The congress of woman workers sue
ceeded in tanning the ministry into
sending an official to express the
thanks of the government to the con-
gress for its '-aluable assistance in en-
the authorities on reforms
required to make legislation for women
workers fruitful and just. On of the
resolutions adopted by the congress
asks Legislators to abstain from making
laws for the special protection of wom-
en-. The view the congress took was
that special protection strikes at the
principle that woman en-
gagged in work which is within her
power and NEAR should be on a foot
ing of absolute quality with man. AS
one speaker put it: "She needs no
cradling."
