Thirteen Persons
Burned to Death

New York, Nov. 26. Thirteen per-
sons lost their lives and several others
were injured in a tenement house fire
at 100 Eighth street and Second ave.
nue.. All the dead were Italians.
Seven of the 10 were children.
The bodies were found huddled to-
gether in rooms on the top floor Of the
fourth story building, where terror
stricken people had been driven by the
flames which rushed up from the lower
floors. They died before thew could
reach windows, which led TO the fire
escapes.
Some had been envelopod in the
flames and burned alive. Others, over
come by smoke, were spared the agon-
les of death by the fis,1es.
That the fatal fire was the work of
incendiaries, is the opinion of the po-
lice. who made the first hasty examin-
alton.

new BANKING IDEAS
MANY new PROJECTS SUB
MITTED To C0RTELY0U.
Grouped Under Four Heads, Central
Bank of Issue, Centralize Existing
National Banks, Issue More Money
Against Other Than u. S. Bonds,
Also on General Assets Secured.

Details of many new projects for i'm
proving the currency are being sub
mitted to the president and Secretary
Cortelyou, and are receiving such at
tention as the other exigencies of the
financial situation permit. Secretary
Cortelyou is a good listener, and usual
ly digests quickly essential parts of the
various plans which are submitted to
him.
Measures relating to the currency
which are being discussed among
bankers and incoming members of con-
gress, may be roughly grouped under
four heads. a central bank OF issue,
central organization Of the existing ma
tional banks, the issue of additional
circulation against various classes OF
bonds other than United States bonds,
and the issue of circulation upon gen
eral assets with the security of guar
anty fund.
The project OF a central bank based
upon general outlines of the Bank of
France or the Imperial Bank of Ger
many has apparently been attracting
more attention of late than any pre-
vious time in recent years. Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota, who is a
member of the finance committee, has
announced that he will introduce bill
for such an institution.
Mr.. Wexler. vice president of the
Whitney-Central National bank of New
Orleans, is openly in favor of cen
trail bank, and says that the New Or
leans press, taught by the strain of
the cotton situation, is generally with
him.
Those who favor a central bank
point to the recent crisis as the best
evidence OF the aid which it could have
afforded had it been in operation.
Their view is that the national banks
would have been able to rediscount
their paper at such an institution and
obtain it's note to an amount necessary
to relieve the strain. 1t is considered
somewhat significant in some quarters
that Mr.. Ridgely. the comptroller Of
the currency has just declared for a
central bank of issue, after having in
revious reports recommended only a
general credit currency for the existing
banks. The utterances of Mr.. Ridgely
are not, however, considered to commit
the administration. Treasurer Treat
has a plan which he is advocating
when he is invited to deliver "A public
address ON the subject.
1t is so long since a central bank
existed, or was even seriously dis
cussed in the United States, that there
is much difference of opinion as to
| the details Of the organization Those
who advocate 1t generally insist, how
ever. that the secretary of the treas
ury and the comptroller of the cur
rency should be ex-ofiicio members of
the board of directors and that the
president should appoint or approve
the selection of the head of the bank.

Then looked the table DER,

On nuts and fruit he also fed,
And pie and candy. too,
He gioated on the sumptuous spread
That loomed before his view,
And fumed and sighed between his grins :
see whiz. | wlsht dat wuz twins"
But by and by he had TO stop,
For he could hold no more.
His knife and fork he had to drop
AID then began to roar,
For all at once he lost his grins
And groaned: I'm glad amt no twins"
