TO TRYANEWPL PLAN
Secretary Cortelyou Will Deposit
Government Funds in Week
Iy Installments.
BANKS OF VARIOUS CITIES
Will Commence Next Week and Con-
tinue at Least Five Weeks-Bet-
ter Than Large Amount at
One Time He Says.

New York, Aug. 25.-Secretary of
the Treasury COrtelyou announced
Friday a new plan of depositing gov
eminent funds IN New York, Boston
and other cities to afford relief to
the money market in approaching
crop movement period. Secretary Cor
telyou will commence next week,
place each week at such points in the
country as he shall designate, govern
ment funds to such an amount as he
deems sufficient to prevent an acute
monetary stringency and possible pan
ic when the demand for money is
greatest at the height of the crop NOV
ing period.
The plan of the secretary FOR none
tary relief is new to the financial
world and one that he believes will
prove more efficacious than the old
method of treasury department in wait
ing until the country was severely
shaken financially and then coming to
the relief at the last moment by plac-
ing a large deposit of government
funds in New York banks. Secretary
Cortelyou did not state how much
money he would deposit each week,

would equal the situation.
The plan for financial relief was
made known Friday in the following
official statement to the Associaten
Press:
Secretary Cortelyou announced to-
day that beginning with next week
the treasury department will make
each week for a period of not less
than five weeks, deposits in national
banks at New York, Boston and 9TH
er Joints, the security required to
| be approved state, municipal and rail-
road bonds acceptable under the ex-
| listing requirments of the department,
| with the understanding that if called
for, such deposits shall be returned
| after January 1 in installments to be
fixed by the secretary of the treas
| ury. This action is taken to meet
the commercial and Industrial needs
of the country at this season, and
| ing until a time of acute stringency
! when the only alternative would be
large general deposit.
investigation of the results attain
ed under the old treasury plan of wait
ing until the last moment and then
! placing large single amount of gov
| eminent funds in New York, disclosed
to Secretary Cortelyou that, as rule
| the placing of large amount Of
| money, while it really helped, was
! generally 1ll-timed and either came toe
| soon or too late.
Under the new plan. the secretary
will place government funds il
amounts large enough to meet the
situation. For this purpose he ma!
use all custom funds, which he is per
mitted to do under the AiGrich act
and if these funds are not sufficient
he will augment them from the avail
able treasury balance, which increase
each week after the usual July de
felt.

LAW REINFORCEMENT CRUSADE
Attorney General of Kansas in Con-
ference with County Attorneys.
A Movement All Along the Line to Be
Started Against Law Break.

Topeka, Aug. 23..--Diffsrent meth
DDS OF driving tb's joints. trusts ard
brGweries out Of business were DIS
cussAd at the meeting of the county
attorneys here Thursday. The coDn-
ty attorneys were called to Topeka
by Fred S. Jackson, attorney general,
to talk about law enforcement. Fifty
three of them came, and dozen or
so sent deputies.
The meetings are being held in the
supreme court room and everything
was secret. There was a guard at
the door, all the ventilatcrs and win.
dows were closed and every man who
went into the room was subjected
to rigid examination.
This conference grew ont of the
action of the attorneys for the brew
cry companies who held meetings, and
each one decided to take up a GER
tain line of legal procedure to bother
the state officers. That looked like
a good scheme to the attorney ger eral
who decided that 1t would keep a
whole lot of corporation attorneys
busy if each county attorney started
some sort of move against the law
breakers. That is what this meeting
is for. Some of the county, attorneys
will begin work on criminal proceed
ings, others will have injunction, 9TH
ers quo warranto and others y i'll have
some other kind of actions against
the lawbreakers, and all will be boom
| ing at the same time.
Not all the attorneys will be given
assignments. Some of them will de-
vote their time to the prohtbitory
law, others to trusts. The attorneys
will camp on the trail of the law
breakers.
The meeting was to get at the best
plans for proceeding. Every feature
of possible law breaking was taken

Patron Saint of Lawyers.

This story is told at the expense of
Francis H. T. Maxwell, a well-known
lawyer. The members of the Taunton,
Mass, Bar association thought they
ought to have patron saint, but after
much wrangling they could not hit up
on any particular saint.
Finally a committee, of which Mr..
Maxwell was member, was appoint
ed to make a selection. They made
trip to New York, and there visited
a gallery where most Of the saints were
carved in marble. It was decided to
leave the selection to Mr.. Maxwell,
and after making the rounds he placed
his hand on one in a group of two.
This one will do" he said. He had
his hand on the devil, whom st Mi
chael was driving before him.

FOR Selfish ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular or Allopathic school, Of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the heaIers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelh-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has SpOnd-
ents in practically every township =
some $4,000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates fer Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly If the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $1,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
| local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at Sill,
/ 1871 and it's total assets are 1921,
567.89. It's liabilities, at the time OF
the annual report which was made al
| the June meeting, amounted to only
| $21 ,906 The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate OF
about $4,000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compea
all of the people of the United States
to pay a doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA.
Suffered Three Years-Physicians Did
No Good-Perfectly Well After
Using Cuticura Remedies,

IT take great pleasure in informing
you that was a sufferer of eczema in
a very bad form for the past three
years. l consulted and treated with

Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three
months ago, and to-day am perfectly

Panic on a trolley Car.

Pittsburg, Aug. 26.-Eight persons
Sunday night when a car on the
Pennsylvania ard Shady Avenue line
of the Pittsburg Railway company got
beyond control of the motorman on a
steep grade on Shady avenue near
Fifth avenue, this city, and ran into
an open switch. The car was well
filled with passengers who became
panic stricken when they saw it was
unmanageable, and all made a wild
rush for the door. The eight persons
injured succeeded in jumping from
the car and were badly bruised and
painfully cut about the hands and face.
The other passengers and the motor
man and conductor were not hurt.

SMALLlS PLEASED
President of Their Union Says o5
Per Cent of Commercial Teleg-
raphers Are on Strike,
RAISING TWO LARGE FUNDS
One for Benefit of Strikers Other for
Propaganda Work in Favor of
Government Control
of Telegraph.

New York, Aug. 26.-S. J. Small,
president of the Commercial Union OF
Photographers, arrived in New York
Sunday morning from the west. He
was met at the railway station by
large delegation of the striking teleg-
raphers and was escorted TO a hall
where meeting of telegraph messen-
ger boys and check clerks was being
held for the purpose Of organizing
union. Mr.. Small addressed the meet
ing briefly without touching on the 10
cal strike situation.
In the afternoon Mr.. Small attend
ed a meeting of the striking telegraph
ers where he was received with en-
thusiasm. He made a brief address IN
which he dealt with the general situa-
ton, again refrainihg from discussing
local conditions.
Sunday night Mr.. Small gave out an
optimistic statement regarding gener-
al strike conoItions in which he said;
.e have fully 50 per cent of all the
commercial telegraphers in the United
States on strike. This applies to
small and large cities Thousands OF
one-man Offices are closed and the
keys to the doors are in the posses
sion of city officials to be turned over
to the inspectors of the company when
they arrive.
I'VE have started to raise a large
fund-two of them in fact. One Of
those is for the benefit of the strikers
and the other to be expended in pro-
paganda work in favor of government
control of the telegraph. Although
the call for funds has only been out
a few days, many remittances were re-
ceived before 1 left Chicago, and,
strange to say, as much was received
for the campaign fund as for the ben
eft the strikers.
Much has been published about ar
bitration but the cry from coast to
coast is no arbitration
In the face of the statements made
by the president of the striking union
lists, botn the Western Union and the
Postal Telegraph companies empha-
size their declarations that the situa-
ton is improving daily and that bar
ring few unimportant towns, condi-
lions are gradually but steadily reas-
