CALLING IN LOANS.
Uncle Sam Needs Money to Paw
Maturing Bills.

| washington, Dec 30-Secretary Cor
| teiyou already has called upon some O,
| the banks for a return of a part of the
money advanced to them by the govern.
| ment IN the recent panic. The under.
| standing is that the call is not general
put that the banks which were special.
~ Favored by the secretary Of the treas.
ury In the matter OF deposits have beer
asked to let the government have
enough money back to continue cash
payments. Those banks appealed to, II
is understood. have consented and q
| few millions out of $50 million dollars
which the government has placed In
the banks, will be paid into the sub
treasures In ten installments upon ter
successive days. Eight million Is said
to be the sum asked for by the secre-
tary, and with this amount he will get
along until the revenues Of the govern
ment increase in the new year.
Revenue is always slow coming in at
this time of year and the secretary
probably wants to have plenty Of ready
cash to pay the regular small bills of
the government.
No definite information respecting
Secretary Cortelyou's action and inten-
lions is obtainable from any govern
ment source. but officers of the treas
ury, who know the needs of the govern
ment and can guess as to what the
secretary probably would do, fix the
amount at million, and assume that
sum without any public protest or an
effort to disturb business. The condi-
ton of the treasury, and the apparent
difficulty which the government always
will experience in getting money from
the banks so long as the banks can
hold on to it, will Increase the demand
for currency legislation when congress
reconvenes.
Senator Culberson and the Democrats
are determined to press their demand
for an investigation Of the whole f1nan-
cial system and the causes of the re-
cent stringency. They will not consent
to action until that investigation has
been had.
In the meantime the movement start
ed by Oklahoma guaranteeing all de-
posits in state banks may interfere
with all plans of currency and banking
legislation.
The national banks Of Oklahoma, re-
alizing that the state banks Will re-
ceive all the deposits, have asked the
COMPTROLLER of the currency to permit
them to operate under the state law,
declaring that if they cannot do SO as
national banks they will be compelled
to relinquish their charters and. reor-
ganize as state banks. Comptroller
Rfdgely while convinced that he cannot
give the desired permission, has re-
ferred the matter to the attorney gen
eral and an opinion from the latter is
expected Monday. The Oklahoma Ia"
provides for the formation OF suarah-
tee fund to which all the banks Will De
compelled to contribute.
There is no provision Of the national
banking law authorizing the banks to
set apart any part of their capital Tor
such a purpose. These conHicting pro,
visions of the two laws. 1t Is belleveo
by the comptroller, make 1t Impossible
for nationaj banks in Oklahoma to OPP
cate rno-I the Same plan as will the
state banks, and it may follow that
the national banks of the state Will De
forced TO 60 out of business.

# great republic like ours.
Comptroller VIII Not Object.

The same law that would guarantee
deposits in state banks could be made
to apply to the national banks doing
business in the same state, without
any objection from the comptroller of
the currency and with very little ex-
pense to national banks, and believ-
ing, as I do, that such law would
result in as great benefit to the bank
ers, both state and national, as to the
individual depositor, and that with
with such a law all the money, which
we have in the country, would be in
actual circulation. do not hesitate
to say again, that I favor the passage
of a guarantee deposit insurance
law. While I believe there has been
a very great change of sentiment in
favor of this measure, in this state, as
a result of the financial troubles of
the last two months, yet I am not so
certain that the present legislature
would pass such law, If convened in
special session, but have confidence in
the wisdom and good judgment of the
people of Kansas to believe that when
they shall elect another legislature,
they will see that men are sent who
favor this measure or that they will
receive instruction from them to IA
vor it.
do not believe the question of
whether congress will or will not pass
a law on this subject at this session,
ought to influence the people of Kan
sas. but that we should have such
law, whenever the legislature of this
state will again be engaged in the law
ma king business.

CAME OUT A MANIAC.
After Being Imprisoned Three Days in
: Mine. ,sa@E

Pittsburg. Pa, Dec. so.-After be-
ing imprisoned for three days in Ellis
worth No. 1 mine, at Ellsworth, 80
miles from here, John O'Millian, Is
years old, a Slav miner. was released
from his underground dungeon, a raw
ing maniac today. He was taken to
the county home at Arden.
OMillian went to work last Thurs
day in small room off the main
mine. A charge proved so strong
as to open UP the earth to. such an
extent that he was entombed. He
might have been entombed yet, but
for the accidental discovery of his
plight. A number of mine officials
while going through the diggings
came to the point where O'Millian
was entombed. They at once saw
something was wrong. When the de-
bris was cleared the officials were as
tonished to have q maniac dash
among them from the room, knock
two of the rescuers down and put up
a vigorous fight before he was over
powered. Nothing could be done for
the Slav to restore his mental bal
ance. He was insane from hunger
and fear.

Tho Man Who Told the Story.
New York, Dec. 30.-Robert C. Cald-
we'll, whose testimony as a witness in
the so-called bruce case led to the OPP
ening of the grave of T. c. bruce to-
day is now at the home of his daugf-
ter at New Brighton, Staten Island He
is under $4,000 bonds to answer to a
charge of perjury preferred by the
British authorities in connection with
the story he told in the London court.
Caldwell was arrested when he arrived
here from England, December 81. 1t is
said that his health has improved since
his arrival.
Caldwelrs story of the alleged dual
personality of the duke of Portland,
was the real sensation of one of the
most remarkable cases which ever en-
gagged the attention of the British
courts. The reopening of the bruce
grave today was the final effort of the
government to prove their charge that
CaldwelIs testimony was ''wilful and
wells story, upon which the claim Of
the bruce heirs for the great fortune
and the title of the duke of Portland
was based, was to the effect that the
Duke of Portland and T. c. bruce, a
London storekeeper, were one and the
same. He had known the Duke of
Portland under both names, he said,
and at the request of the duke had ar
ranged a pretended death and mock
could be buried. He swore-
that the coffin exhumed today did not
contain Druces body, but only 200
mounds of lead,
