August %. 1907, to make each week
substantial deposits in the different Sec
lions of the country, with the particu-
lar object of facilitating the fall move
ment of the crops. In his announcement
of this plan the secretary of the treas
ury said:
This action is taken to meet the
commercial and industrial needs of the
country at this season, and is believed
to be preferable TO waiting until 4
time of acute stringency, when the only
alternative would be a large general
deposit. The latter policy the secret
tary desires to supersede by one which
shall have as its ultimate Object the
adjustment of the operations of the
treasury department as rapidly as may
be practicable under existing law. in
such manner as shall preclude their
being in any sense a disturbing factor

BALANCE DYE FROM CHICAGO.
Bank of Commerce Carried Accounts
With Five or Six Banks.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-President Forgan of
the First National bank, chairman of
the Chicago clearing house committee,
said the failure of the National Bank
Of Commerce would have no effect up
on Chicago banks because the Chicago
banks with which it has accounts are
all debtors to the Kansas City iustitu-
ton. One of the mistakes of the Bank
of Commerce management, Mr.. Forgan
said, was that 1t did not conserve its
resources in any one bank, but instead
had accounts with five or six Chicago
banks.
The balances on deposit with the Chi
cago institutions at the present time,
he said, were relatively small having
been reduced to an unprecedented ex-
tent by the recent financial situation.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-12-06

900 and that institution is believed to
be in a sound condition.
The National Bank of Commerce held
the deposits of numerous small banks
in this part of the southwest. What
effect the failure will have on them is
prOblematical. On August % last the
Commerce owed other national banks
SIS, 299. 45O, and state banks and bank
ers S9,s19, 499. There had been no run
by local depositors, but many of the
outside banks caused the trouble by
Withdrawing their funds on deposit
with the Commerce.

The digestive impulse is
the life of the stomach. If
this is weakened, crippled
by eating improper
food,-the rest of the body
suffers also.
The body and brain are
nourished through the diges-

for and, if proper in quality
and quantity, the tissues are
repaired as fast as mental
and physical activity break
them down. This is life.
Grape-Nuts food not only
meets the requirements of
tissue-repair, but is a pow

It contains the vital phos-

ON SIXTY FIVE COUNTS
Santa Fe Road Indicted for Al
legged Rebating.

Chicago. July 11-An indictment
charging the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad with granting re-
bates amounting to $4,000 to the
United States Sugar and Land com
pany of Garden City, Kan, has been
returned by the grand jury in the
United States district court.
The indictment contains sixty five
counts, each one relating to an al
legged infringement of the law, and
the company, If convicted, Is subject
to a maximum fine of $1,300,000 or a
minimum fine of $65, 900.
The rebates are said to have been
granted by the Santa Fe railroad while
the sugar refinery was being erected
at Garden City In 1905 and 1906 on
shipments of building material, the
freight on which amounted to $780,
600. 1t Is alleged that the railroad
had agreed to return $35 900 of the
100000, but that only $4,000 had
been paid when complaints were heard
from other shippers and the govern
ment commenced an investigation. It
is claimed by the government officials
that the officials of the railroad have
admitted that $4,000 was paid, but it
Is maintained by the railroad that the
money constituted bonus to encour
age the building of the sugar refinery
on a site adjoining the railroad and
was not given as rebate nor as a
discrimination against other shippers.

SWIFT AND CONCLUSIVE.
Denial Of Reported Demands by Japa-

Washington, July 1l.-From the
state department and from the Japa-
nese embassy here came swift and
conclusive denial of the accuracy of
the statement cabled from The Hague
to the London Daily Telegraph and
reprinted in this country to the effect
that Japan has made categorical de-
mands upon the United States govern
ment for satisfaction in connection
with the treatment of Japanese in
San Francisco and has served notice
of her intention to deal with the Cali
fornians herself If the American gov
ernment fails to do so.
At the state department it is said
that the American public Is fully
aware OF the nature of all the ex-
changes that have taken place on this
subject that there has been no cor
respondence OF recent date and that
there are no negotiations in progress
between the two governments. This
statement is fully confirmed at the
