Mental Phenomena.

A most successful man was he;
His mental gifts were great.
And yet the tricks his mind would play
Were strange to contemplate.
He once gave out an interview.
Twas criticised a lot;
Next morning half the things he said
He totally forgot.
Which shows the finest intellect
May now and then be incorrect.
He ran a business that controlled
Most Of the worlds affairs.
And yet, when the grand jury met
And took him unawares,
The wondrous mind that in finance
Achieved the highest rank:
When questioned on the witness stand
Became a total blank.
Which proves the theory. more or less,
That geniusts are hard to guess.

Future for the Filipinos.
rom the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

From the st. LOUIS Democrat.
Under the statute which goes into effect
two months hence the Fllipinos will have a
far greater control over their local affairs
than the people of India are allowed to
have after $50 years of British ascendancy.
The educated Filipino knows these things
He knows that the United States, after
only nine years of dominion, is granting
more favors to his countrymen than Spain
allowed them after $50 years of SOY
ere!gnty. The concessions which neither
Spain nor England grant their Asatic sub
jects would not be likely to be given by
Japan. an Asatic nation. Moreover, the
measure of self-rule which we are about to
extend to the FilpinGs is only the begin
ming OF concessions which probably are I'LL
timately to comprise an autonomy much
like that which Canada and Australia have
under England.

criminal prosecutions that have been so
long in preparation The men now formally
arraigned are the architect. the chief con-

directly aided them in the raid upon the

been gathered with great care and there is
general confidence in the determination of
those who now represent the state to push
the matter to conclusion. 1t is not a sim
pie undertaking. The public verdict was
made up long ago. but that Is q very diff

CoRTELYOU's PLAN APPROVED.
New York Bankers Believe Finan-
eial Stringency Now Over.

New York. March 26.-Secretary Cortel-
you ordered to-day the redemption of the
government As of 1907 at the subtreasury
here, advanced the April interest on the
IS Of 1897 and the consols of 1880. and Of
fered to deposit $l5,000.000 in New York
City banks. His action was considered
extremely beneficial, as relieving a money
situation growing more acute as the slS5.-
00o.oO0 April 1 interest and dividend dis
bursements approached.
But among bankers the temporary re-
lief was believed TO be much less impor-
tant than the permanent policy outlined.
The 5000, coo was ordered deposited from
customs receipts, and there is high au-
thority for the statement that the Secre-
tary. proposes to deposit the bulk of the
customs receipts hereafter in the banks
rather than in the subtreasury.
Prior to March (, the date OF the Aid

custom receipts in the banks was illegal
Leslie NJ Shaw, as Secretary of the
Treasury. somewhat nullifed the force of
the now superseded statute by making
distinct funds of the customs receipts and
the revenue from other sources. and using
the customs receipts for government ex-
penditures. while the others he largely
held in reserve and deposited a part of
them. as occasion demanded in national
banks throughout the country.
The legality of such action was never
tested. though often disputed by the
Secretary critics, but apart from that the
law interposed insuperable objection 20

WARRANT FOR SHONTS DRIVER
Marshal Collins Seeks to Arrest
Chauffeur Bell.
Incident on Conduit Road Leads
testers to Poke Fun at Mayor
Garrett, of Glen Echo.

Despite the fact that the Shonts auto
mobile incident in Conduit road Saturday
is being taken as a big joke, Mayor
Garrett, OF Glen Echo. says it is a serious
question. and especially so for the chauf-
feur. A warrant was issued for V. D.
Bell, us Eighteenth street. yesterday,
charging him with driving the machine
which only narrowly escaped running over
the marshal
Marshal Collins, the man who attempted
to stop the automobile, and who was alto
gether unsuccessful. was in Washington
last night with a warrant for Bell. The
chauffeur will be presented with the pa
pers and requested 20 answer 60 the
charge before the Maryland courts. In
case Bell refuses 10 do this, Mayor Gar
rett SAYS. Gev. Warfeld viii be called
upon for requisition papers. For an ordi-
nary misdemeanor. Mayor Garrett says,
the governor would take no heed but in
this particular case the charge is some
thing more serious than such an offense.
Mayor Garrett further states tat Mar
shal Collins has all kinds Of witnesses 20
prove that Bell, or whoever was running
the Shonts machine, not only failed TO
heed his warnings or his pistol shot, but
turned the wheels In ais direction and
made an effort TO run over him. This is
the reason, say the offieiais, the charge IS
more serious than a misdoIaearor.
Mayor Garrett has been the recipient Cf
communications from half the iOke-
smiths of Washington and viciuity. Yes
terday his telephone at Glen Echo was
kept busy by inquisitive people who
wished to talk lightly of the affair.
Il am the Duke Of Swampoodle, and
would like to know if I came out your
way I could take a squirt In my machine,
one joker said Others wanted to know
If the marshal really took part in the IN

Cabinet was meeting it was announced
from the Treasury Department that Sec
retary Cortelyou had taken further ac-
tion TO relieve the money market. and
Mr.. Carnegie expressed his warm ap-
provaI Of the seeretary's action.
He did right" said the founder Of

country's currency system Is such as TO
make such measures necessary. The mar
ket evidently is not able to stand even a
slight disturbance without some assist
snee by the government and the condi-
tioH is not even cured by such assistance.

FIFTEEN MILLIONS RELEASED
Secretary COrtelyOu Again Relieves
Stringency of Money Market.
Issues Orders That Customs Receipts
Be Deposited In National Banks
OF New York.

About fifteen millions Of dollars will be
Immediately released IN New York City,
as the result of action authorized by the
Secretary Of the Treasury shortly after
II o'clock yesterday. This notice was
given out from the Secretary's Office:
Under instructions issued By the Sec
retary OF the Treasury. collectors Of GUS
toms throughout the country were di-
rected TO deposit their customs receipts in
the regular repositories. This, however,
did not include the so-called subtreasury
cities. These instructions have been to-
day enlarged by the Secretary so that the
public deposits with national bank de-
positories in New York City will be at
once increased about fifteen million dol
lars from customs receipts. under the pro-
visions Of the act OF March 1. 1907.
This action is taken with view to
facilitating the redemption Of the ( per
cent bonds Of 1861. and also to render
available additional funds for the usual
disbursements occurring on the first prox-
imo"
This statment was also given out:
THE Secretary Of the Treasury has in
struCted the Treasurer OF the United
States 20 mail az once 10 the owners the
checks for interest due April 1, 1907. on
registered bonds Of the = per cent con-
soils of 1880 and the per cent funded
loan Of 1907 The subtreasuTy officers have
been instructed 10 cash the checks on pre-
sentauoR. and TO cash on presentation
any April coupons belonging to the bonds
of these two loans.
The Secretarys move is a reversal OF
the policy OF depositing these receipts
only in cities where there were no sub
treasures. On account OF the conditions
In New York. it was determined 10 make
an exception in favor Of that city. About
SIS. 100000 will be Immediately made avail
able for use In the money market through

For some time past. corporations ana

money-have been the chief objects Of
public attention. Honest men have well
coined this manifestation of public in

terprises. Clear-headed men realize at
the same time that some of the institu-
tions made prominent by their far-reach-
ing operations and intimate relations with
the public, are conducted by men of the
highest integrity and are performing
public service Of incalculable value
The great Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company. of New York. is coming more

the ordinary citizen. 1t estimates in the
light Of universal experience and expert
knowledge the actual cost of insuring a

innate premium based upon cost, writes
a policy as definite and clear as the sim
plest business contract. and then pays
every dollar the beneficiary expects or
hopes TO receive.
