PLAN TO SELL PANAMA BONDS
FOR Cash IMMEDIATELY.
Treasury to Issue s5o,ooo,ooo Bonds,
s1ooooo,ooo Certificates of Indebted
ness-Approved by President--TeIIs
People Absurdity of Becoming
Alarmed and Creating stringency.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Secretary
Cortelyou has made the important an
nouncement that as means of afford
ing relief to the financial situation, the
treasury would issue s50,000,00O of
Panama canal bonds and $100,0OO,O0O
certificates of indebtedness, or so much
thereof as may be necessary. The GER
tiffcates will run for one year and Will
bear per cent interest. The secre-
tary's action in coming to the relief OF
the financial situation meets with Pres
ident Roosevelt's hearty approval, and
the plan is the outcome of the several
White House conferences.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford substantial
relief, as the law provides that they
may be used as basis for additional
bank circulation. He also states that
the proceeds from the sale of certifl-
Gates can be made directly available
at points where the need is most
urgent, and especially for the move
ment of crops, which. he says. If prop
erly accelerated, will give the great
est relief and result in the most i'm
mediate financial returns"
The secretary calls attention to the
attractiveness of the bonds and certifi
Gates as absolutely safe investments
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him tc
meet public expenditures without with
drawing for that purpose any appre
cable amount of the public moneys
now deposited in national banks
throughout the country.
Two treasury circulars, one inviting
proposals for the issue of bonds, ant
the other asking for the certificates
will be sent out under date of Novem
Der 10.
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyol
approving the treasury plans, Presi
dent Roosevelt states that he has beer
assured that the leaders in congress
have under consideration currenc,
measure, which will meet in perma
nent fashion the needs of the situation
and which l believe will be passed a
an early date after congress convenes
two weeks hence"
The president also calls attention t
what is needed most at this time i
that the people should realize no,
; fundamentally sound business cond
tons in this country are, and how al
surd it is to permit themselves to ge
into a panic and create stringenc
by boarding their savings instead c
trusting perfectly sound banks"

is THERE A WHEAT CLIQUE?
State Railroad Commission Suspects
Railroads Aid Alleged
Connbine


Olympia, Wash, Nov. 20.-The state
railroad commission Is cunning tor a
suspected combine of railroads and
warehousemen that is said to be at
tempting to bar out Independent wheat
buyers in eastern Washington, and an
nouncement is made at the commission
Offices that the commission will keep
busy on the work until the combine, II
such exists, is broken up for all time.
In fact, the commission is rather in
clined to force warehousemen out of
the business of buying grain and into
a strictly warehouse business.
What gives ground for the belief
there is such collusion between the
warehousemen and the railroads is the
fact that this year the warehousemen
ecopted new and peculiar form of re-
ceipt, and at the same time the rail-
roads adopted rule not to supply cars
to Independent buyers unless the same
were ordered through some warehouse
man.
Heretofore warehouse receipts given
for wheat simply receipted for GER
tain number of sacks and bushels of
grain to be delivered on surrender OF
the receipt and payment of charges.
This year the receipt reads that the
wheat was to be delivered lin the order
in which cars are received
Immediately following the protest OF
the grain growers against this form OF
receipt came the complaint from indie
pendent buyers that the railroads
would not supply them with cars.
The commission promptly investi
gated the latter report and was at first
positively informed by railroad officials
there was no such rule, and If any
agent had enforced such rule he had
done so without authority
The commission then made further
investigation and found there was this
discrimination and again demanded al
explanation from the railroads. Their
the roads admitted there is such rule
and now the roads are defending it as
proper and fair.

CROPS TO MOVE FAST.
Banks Have Made Arrangements to
Get Cash to Farmers.


Seattle, Wash. Nov. 19.-At meet
ing held here In the Bank of Commerce
between Representatives nf the bank,
wheat exporters and wheat growers of
the Inland Empire arrangements were
concluded which assure the financing
of the movement of the wheat crop of
the northwest. Immediately following
the meeting orders were sent out to
actually set the wheat in motion at
once.
AS a result the immense wheat crop
of the Inland Empire conservatively
estimated to be worth 100000. 900
will today start on its way to the mar
kets of Asia, Africa and Europe. From
the Inland Empire there will begin a
flow of the grain to the ports of Puget
sound and the Columbia river which
will cease only when all the wheat has
been drained from the fields and ware
houses.

OBITUARY..
Mrs. HeseItine Ellington.

Mrs. Heseltine Ellington departed
this life February II, 1907, in Mem
phis, Tenn, at the home of her grand
son, Albert Williams. Mrs. Ellington
was born and reared in the state of
Georgia, near Macon. She was mar
ried TO Peter Ellington several years
before the Civil War. To this union
we're born eleven children, of whom
Rev. w. S. Ellington, Editorial Secre-
tary of the National Baptist Publish
ing Board, and pastor of the First
Baptist Church of this city, is the fifth
child.
Peter Ellington died twenty years
ago; thus the care of the home and
the education Of the children were de-
volved upon Mrs. Ellington. No sacri.
flee was too great for her to make
that her children might receive a lib
eral education and make useful men
and women of themselves. OF the sew
EN- children that survive her, three are
ministers of the Gospel, one is a
school teacher and all are Baptists.
The remains Of Mrs. Ellington were
taken to Galloway, Tenn, and buried
beside her husband, Peter Ellington,
in the cemetery of Union Hill Baptist
Church, of which she was a member
for more than thirty years.
Besides the seven children men
toned above, there are nine grand
children, and four great-grand-chil-
dren to mourn her loss.

THE YAp IN THE WooDPILE.

The San Francisco school muddle
has been settled by a compromise in
which the Japanese school children
are to be permitted to enter the white
schools while japanese laborers are
to be barred from entering the
United States. At least, the San Fran
cisco Board of Education and Mayor
Schmitz came to this agreement with
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root. Whether Japan is willing to
draft a treaty with this country in
which these provisions will be rec
ognized remains to be seen. Late
accounts from Toxic express general
d~ispleasure with the amendment to
the immigration Bill, which was so
drawn as to meet the terms Of the
compromise.
When it is taken into consideration
that of the 10000 children attending
the public schools Of San Francisco,
only SO are Japanese, the zap in the
woodpile can be easily found. The whole
fight is one against the Japanese as Ia
berers. The real fear of the labor lead
er-politicians of the Pacific coast is
that the Industrious Japs will prove
the superior of the white man in the
business and industrial fields of the
West.

1t is stated that Dr.. Ford will go from

SHERIFF Ships TRIAL..

The Commissioner appointed by the
Supreme Court to take the evidence
in the Sheriff Ship and others con-
tempt proceedings at Chattanooga,
brought out just such evidence
might have been expected. One
Of the first things shown is the gross
Negligence upon the part of the Off
GERS of the law. One witness, an edi-
tor of a daily paper, swore that the
Criminal Court Judge and the Attor-
rey-General knew of the proposed
lynching about $3.50 o'clock the night
it occurred, and called Sheriff Ship
over the phone and informed him.
Another witness, an ignorant, inlet
tered white woman, who had been con-
fined in the cell next to that occupied
by Ed Johnson the night he was
killed, testified that the night jailer
informed her a few minutes before the
.sa- fala
mob attacked the Jail that she had
better return to the cell, that there
was to be a lynching that night. Still
another testified that the jailer moved
his family the evening of the attack.
A man from Georgia stated that he
had been requested to join the mob by
three other men whose names he gave.
He stated further that these men said
that they had assurances that the
Sheriff and his deputies would not be
at the Jail.
Several of the governments wit
nesses have disappeared and pending
the search for them the trial has been
postponed until the latter part of next
month. From the evidence given in
so far it seems that a strong case has
been made against the officers. The
evidence also shows that others than
the Negro are adopts at protecting
criminals.

A SAD MISHAP.

1t is the usual custom whenever
a ship is christened to break over
it's bow a bottle Of champagne. A
friend Of The Globe, who being un-
able to attend the recent anniversary
celebration of the birth of the paper,
thought that the paper was about old
enough to be christened, and, after
sending his regrets in a letter, sent
the fluid to be used for the christen-
ing purposes by express. 1t arrived
this week. That is, the broken bottle
in a box from which floated the odor
of champagne, arrived this week. A
representative of The Globe tried to
interview some Of the members of the
Globe Company, but they were too
busy to say anything other than thank
the friend in the North who was so
thoughtful. None of the Globe Com
pany 'cuss!"
