AnvrCE TO TREASURY.


Bankers Urge Secfetnfy TO Steer Stear
of Money Market.
Detroit, Mich, May 29-The Bankers
club. of Detroit, celebrated Its tenth
anniversary tonight by banquet at the
Hotel Cadillac William Barrett Rid
reIy. COMPTROLLER of the Currency, was
the principal speaker. He spoke In
part ais follows:
.The best way to handle the col
1ectious and distribution of govern
ment funds is through the banks, IN
which the business of the public is
transacted. The passage of the act or
March 4, 1907, or the so-called AID
rich bill makes 1t possible to take
long step in this direction by leaving
the revenues of the government in cir
culation instead of collecting cash ana
storing it in treasury vaults.
THE most constant and serious COM
plaint which is made Is of the working
~ the treasury Department in its re-
Iation to the business of this country is
that the Treasury is always in the
money market as disturbing FACTOR;
that IL is continually taking money out
of the regular channels OF trade ana
locking it up in its vaults when 1t Is
NEEDED in circulation. To correct the
condition resulting from these opera
tions, the Secretary of the treasury
mas for years found II necessary to
adont varying expedients to put the
money back into the hands of the peo-
pie.
These different measures are gen.
eraliv put in force only when the bad
effects of the treasury operations have
accumulated until the money market
mas reached an acute condition and fire.
auently when the stock market, which
Is the most apparent indication of fin
ancial disturbance is in panic, and
there is danger that the rising liquid

From Farmers.
New York, May 29-An attempted
criminal assault on 5-year-old girl
in Corona, L. l., today. gave rise to the
suspicion that Henry Becker, might
not, after all, have been the assailant
OF Amelia Stcffeldt, the 15-year old
girl who was found slain In field In
Elmhurst a week ago.
The culprit in today's outrage was
arrested, and he answers fairly well
the description given of the man seen
running away in the cabbage patch adj
joining the lot In which the Staffeldt
girl was murdered, about the time the
girl Is believed to have been killed.
The victim today was Marie Luck,
the daughter Of John Luck, of Corona.
A rough looking young man seized
her around the waist and threw her
to the ground. She screamed and when
her father came to her rescue, her as.

machinery of their department from
closing down today. :,
The men say the trouble is that
President Milton H. Smith Of the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad Company
refused to meet J d. Buckalew, third
vice president of the International AS
sociation of Machinists, in Louisville
day or two ago. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Smith has refused to recognize the
union. The Mobile machinists have no
complaint. They are satisfied with the
wages and the shop rules. So 1t seems
that the machinists were ordered out
simply because Mr.. Smith would not
meet a high officer of the union. The
Mobile men went out on orders Three
minutes before they quit work this
morning a committee went to Master
Mechanic C. B. Clifford and told him
they had been ordered out by the I'M
ion. They said they had no grievances
here at all.
. At 9 o'clock the men showed their
faith in the principles Of their order.
One by one. about twenty in all, as
they passed through the office and
checked out" they shook hands with
the master mechanic and told him good
bye. They said they were sorry, very
sorry, to have to leave their work.
Other union men remained at work.
1t is not known If they will quit work
too.
Master Mechanic Clifford said today
after the men walked out:
II hate it as much as the men, Trou-
BILE like this will hurt the men and
will hurt the community, the grocer,
everybody. Some of the men are set
tied here and have been in our employ
many years. Some have homes that
are nearly paid for 1t is too bad. and
the men feel 1t, too.
Our mechanical departments pays
out in Mobile $4,000 a month. There
is nothing for the men to do but to
reconsider, to come back to work
They have quit us. and we will take
steps to fill their places. We will be
short of men at first. but of course
we will be able to get more men to put
to work.
Il received a telegram from the SUI
perintendent of the machine shop at
Decatur and he said that only nine men
quit work at Decatur yesterday, nine
out of $500 workmen"
Some of the Louisville and Nashville
machinists here have been steadily at
work for twenty or thirty years. One
of the we'll known strikers is Emile
Tacon, better known as a councilman.

New York, May 29.-Ciarence j.
Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Howard Gould,
stated tonight that his client had never
asked for settlement on her of $4,-
100000 from her husband.
However, said Mr.. Shearn. "at the
time that the Goulds separated I had
a conference with Delaney Nicoll, coun-
sci for Mr.. Gould, and we discussed the
matter of alimony for Mrs. Gould, bus
no such sum as 100000 was asked"
Mr.. Nicol said today that he had a
conference with Mr.. Shearn and that
Mrs. Goulds demand hadebeen submit
ted to him. when I went to Mr..
Gould and told him what the demands
WERE" said Mr.. Nicoll, ''he laughed
and said that he would never consent
to paying such a large amount"
A close friend of Mr.. Gould said to-
night:
Mr.. Gould has no wish to air mis-
personal affairs in the newspapers. He
is willing to live apart from his wife
and meant to have the case conducted
in a legal and dignified manner. Mr..
Gould is willing to make sufficient
allowance to his wife"
The Gould case has been dropped by
the police. according to a statement
made today. The fact that Mrs. Gould
has complained that her mail has been
tempered with isScausing more or less
comment Mr.. Shearn called on Uni
ted States District Attorney Stimson
today and spent an hour with him.
Postmaster Wilcox said that as yet the
postofice department has nothing tam
gible to work on but that If sometime
was given to them no time would be
lost in making a thorough investiga-
ton.

CHARGE AGAINST CONSUL.
Alleged to Have Refused Aid to Sea.
man


man.
Washington, May ga charge of
barratry. involving the deliberate scut-
Ting of a steamship, has been made as
an incident in the investigation by the
state Department of the action of Will
liam Peter, American Consular Agent
at San Lucia, B. w. l., in withhold
ing assistance from C. ]. Hamilton,
an American sailor, who is claimed to
have been abandoned in that port by
the captain of the Argentine ship Jose
Pedro.
Hamilton appeared in person at the
Department, having walked from Bal
tirnore, lacking money to pay his rail-
way fare. In brief, he stated that aft
ter leaving Jacksonville, Fla, from
which port the ship sailed for Buenos
Ayres, the captain proposed to him to
aid in scuttling the ship
He refused and Joined the crew in
demanding that the vessel be taken in
to San Lucia as being unseaworthy. A
survey board there confirmed the mems
complaint and some repairs were forced
upon the captain before he was al
lowed to take the ship out of port.
When he did sail away, according to
Hamilton, he abandoned the old crew
and took aboard some natives instead.
Hamilton told the State Department
officials that soon afterward he learned
that the Jose Pedro had been lost at
sea.
As the ship was Nnder Argentine
register, the State Department did not
fel able to investigate the case. but 1t
is presumed that the Argentine Gov
eminent will take notice of the mat
ter. Hamilton's complaint against tho
American consular agent was because
OF his refusal in the first case to as
sist him to return to the United States.
though he eventually succeeded IN get
ting home The State Department has
instructed the American Consul at Bar
badoes, Arthur ]. Clare, whose district
includes St. Lucia, to investigate the
nop1Dlaint.

Pennsylvania Legislature Committee
Visits Contractors I'm Norfolk.
Norfolk, Va. May 29.-The Pennsyl-
vania Legislatures State capitol
building investigating commission ar
rived here today ana spent several
hours taking the testimony of p. H.
Wilson, vice president and general
manager of the James G.. Wilson Man
ufacturing Company. of Norfolk, which
was a sub-contractor under Contractor
Sanderson. who held the general con-
tract for furnishing the capitol build
ing.
The hearing was interesting through
out and II was declared by all mem
bers of the commission at the con-
clusion that today's evidence was the
most important of any yet obtained.
Mr.. Wilson said that his company
gave Contractor Sanderson bid with
the approval of Joseph M. Huston, ar
chitect, for parquetry flooring at forty
five cents per square foot; that Sander
son wanted to know If this included
agents commission and cement base
with quartered oak and mahogany Dor
ders.
Wilson replied that 1t did not and
was then told to add an agents COM,
mission and he did SO, raising the price
to sixty-six cents per square foot. A
verbal contract, according to Wilson.
was entered into and the matter was
considered closed by Wilson, but sub
sequently Sanderson refused to give
out work unless the price was lowered
to forty-f1ve cents again including CO.
ment base, CHARTERED oak and ma
hogany. Wilson said he thought that
the work had to be the best and that
1t would have to be submitted to mi
croscopic insepction when completed
and that the price of sixty-six cents
with which the commission was in
cluded, was the best that could be
done without base and quartered oak
and mahogany.
Mr.. Sanderson's reply" said the wit
ness, was that the microscopic test
would not be so damn POWERFUL
