Persistent reports of alleged

that either McCabe or Cutten will
be returned over Mulcrevy and
McDougald, elected on the face
of the returns, but solely for the
purpose of fastening the alleged
crooked work upon its pe-petra-
tors and sending them across the
bay. where they may shine as de-
terrent examples to other cleo
tion officers of crooked tendencies.
A demand for recount was con-
tempIated when the first reports OF
crooked. counting were received. The
proportions OF the pluralities polled by
Mulcrevy and ATcDougald over McCabe
ard Cutten respectively convinced the
friends OF the good government candi-
dates that recount would not change
the ultimate result and the idea OF
a recount was abandoned. The re-
ports OF bad counting were so persist

that the friends OF the good govern
ment movement have taken under con-
sideration the advisability OF asking
for an investigation OF the ballots cast
in the precincts under suspicion.

SITUATION IMPROVES
West More Excited Than the
East Over Financial
Affairs

Special BY Leased Wuc to The Call
WASHINGTON, Nov. s. Com
plant has come from San Francisco
against the apparent discrimination in
favor of New York in depositing gov
ernment money. With plenty of gov
eminent bonds in their possession and
with the subTeasury full of coin, San
Francisco bankers are inclined to re-
gard the treasury's action, or lack of
action, as d discrimination against
them. This was discussed today by a
nigh official of the treasury.
New York is the storm center" he
said. I'VE deposited all the available
money first in New York and then, as
we got more funds. we eased up the
situation in other cities. We have sent
money ~ most of the financial centers,
including San Francisco. Now we have
no more money to deposit in the ma
tional banks. 1t makes no difference
how many government bonds a bank
may have, if it's circulation is already
up to the limit and If we have no
money to deposit, we cannot cash bonds
at the subtreasury on presentation.
They must be redeemed according to
law
In one case in San francisco We
were able to have the. snbtreasury take
lot OF bonds in trust and pay over
their value to the tank owning them.
the purchaser Of the bonds being a
New York bank which gave us an in
demnity bond to secure US for the cash
But this was squirting at violation
of the law and was done only because
the bank in question was entitled to de-
posit bonds for circulation that had not
been issued. 1t could not be done other
wise It would not be done again un-
der the same circumstances, unless in
case of emergency.
we have received complaint from
our disbursing officers that some west
ern banks have refused to honor checks
drawn upon government deposits in
those banks. The excuse given Is that
the banks reserves are in New York
and that the New York banks refuse
to honor drafts upon them. This ex-
cuse will not be good after today, in
my opinion. for the reason that the New
York banks will be advised by the
treasury department. to honor the call
of western banks for their reserves.
We do not expect any bank, east or
west. to refuse to honor the checks of
our disbursing officers on government
deposits"
This official remarked that the gem
eral financial situation was greatly i'm
proved. The west, he said. was more
excited than the east. The crisis was
over, in his opinion, and the west win
become easy as soon as the New York
banks release their reserves.
II suggest that western banks keep
cool and silent" he continued. "The
bankers have talked too much as q
rule. The public Is not excited and win
not withdraw any more money If the
bankers keep stiff upper lip"

NEW YORK, Nov. s. Clearing
house bankers expect that criminal
proceedings will be brought against
two men who were officials of national
banks which were under fire in the re-
cent wedding out process. 1t was posi-
lively asserted in Wall street that
fragrant violations of the national
banking act had been discovered by
the national banking department, fol-
lowing Investigations by clearing
house committees. The names of the
men involved as we'll as the institu-
tions with which they we're connected
were freely mentioned in Wall street
today.
United States District Attorney stim-
son admitted that his Office was in
vestigating the conduct of certain per-
sons connected with the two banks.
1t was also learned that the head Of
the bank examiners in New York, Mr..
Hanna, accompanied by an expert from
the comptroller's ONCE in Washington,
had visited the two institutions in the
last 10 days and were preparing a
memorandum for the district attor-
ney's office.
The principal charge against the two
men is that OF obtaining loans from
their institutions much in excess OF
the limit prescribed by the banking
act. 1t was found that through dunn
niles or agents these officers obtained
the loans which. when the disclosure
came three weeks ago. were clarly
traceable to the officers of the banks

Assembly Puts a crimp in Keno.
sha's Plan for the Establish
ment Of Municipal Court
MUST WAIT TWO YEARS MORE
Sentiment of the People Seemed to Be
Opposed to the Bill and 1T Was
Killed Without Any Seri-
Gus Consideration

The Wisconsin Assembly put a
damper on the plan to establish a
Municipal Court in Kenosha county
Wednesday afternoon, when the bill
introduced by Assemb1yman Curtiss
providing for the establishment of
such court was killed by the Assem-
ely without even a serious considera-
ton. The bill had received little sup
port from the people of the county,
and outside of a few attorneys who
had visited Madison, no one had said
a good word in its behalf. The COM
mittee, which had considered the bill,
reported it back for indefinite post
ponement, but this did not satisfy the
Assembly, and the bill was formally
put to vote and killed.
The action of the Assembly makes
It impossible for the proposed court to
be esta blished in Kenosha comfy for
at least two years, as it will be neces-
sary to have bill passed by the Leg
islature before the court can be es-
tablished, and the Legislature will
not be in session again until 1909.
While the demand for such court
in Kenosha is felt every day, it is
thought that the present effort to Sc
cure the proper legislation was i'll
timed. AS soon as the bill was pre-.
sented to the Legislature it was given
"a frosty reception by the people in
Kenosha. The City Council declined
~ on%ocSd0+ -
recommend its passage, and leading
members of the County Board took a
stand of positive opposition to the bill.
1t could not have been favorab1y con-
sidered without the approval of both
the Council and the County Board.
The friends of the Municipal Court
scheme are in no way discouraged by
the action of the Assembly, and they
are now planning to get to work at
once in order to work up a sentiment
IN favor of such court so that a bill to
be presented to the Legislature in
1909 will meet with more favorable
consideration. It is admitted that
there are not courts enough in the
county TO take care of the litigation.
but It is possible that the new law for
the arrangement of Judicial circuits
will in measure remedy this trouble.
Should the territory of Judge Belden
be reduced he would be better able to
take care Of the great number of cases
in Racine and Kenosla counties. A
Municipal Court would lift a large
amount of this load, but the main OBJ
lection was that it would be too expen.
sive luxury to the county. Similar
courts have been established in many
smaller cities and they have proved
their value. The Kenosha men. who
opposed the bill for the court base
their action on the fact that the court
in Racine had been a great expense to
the county and that there was little
work for it to do. It is possible that
by the next meeting of the Legisla-
ture the growth of Kenosha will be
such that the people Of the city and
county will recognize the great de-
mand for added court facilities.
