cAsH.ERs CHECKS ron MONEY
Denver DanIss Will Uss Certified
Checks In Place 81

Denver.-So that there may be
a. little Inconvenience as possible
to the public, the Denver Clear
ing House Association through its
amliated banks have decided to Is
sue cashiers checks for small de-
nominations. These checks, in sums
Of IS. SO and $40. can be used in the
ordinary affairs Of business and will
be supplemental to the original plan
adopted by the clearing house to issue
certified checks to depositors instead
of cash In large amounts until such
time as the eastern banks open their
vaults and pay their balances In cur
rency OF specie. The new plan of is
suing the smaller checks was recon-
mended by President David H. Moffat
of the First National Bank, who has
returned to the calm Of Denver after
witnessing the storm in New York. 1t
has been in use for some time in a
number of cities further east and has
worked we'll. Mr. Moffat brings hope
and encouragement to the people Of
Denver and Colorado Normal condi-
tions will soon be restored with little
impairment to the nation at large or
to the sound financial institutions of
the country that are content to do an
honest business.
After a meeting of the Clearing
House Association the following Off
cial statement of the new step was
given out:
AT meeting of the Denver Clear
ing House Association held Monday
night it was decided that each bank
should issue its cashiers checks in
the denominations Of IS, $40 and 500,
respectively, payable to bearer. These
cashier'5 checks to pass as circulating
medium during the present monetary
stringency. These checks are to be
secured by deposit of approved col
lateral in the hands of the Denver
Clearing House association.
THE custom Of issuing cashiers
checks in small denominations to be
used as a circulating medium has been
adopted in the cities generally all
over the United States. But SO far
as is known Denver is the only city
which has adopted the ,plan with the
security feature.
"A committee has been named by
the Denver Clearing House Associa-
tion. consisting of one member from
each of the clearing house banks,
whose duty it will be to examine the
securities offered and place a value
upon the same and on such securities
as 1t approves it will authorize the
bank making the deposit to issue cash
iers' checks up to certain amount,
that amount being largely within the
market value of the securities. These
checks in addition to being signed by
an officer of the bank will be registered
and signed by an officer of the Denver
Clearing House Association"

Girls Stolen and Gold.

Battle Creek, Mich.-That girls are
being stolen from American homes
and sent to Panama for immoral pur-
poses was the statement made at the
national purity congress here by
Rose Johnson, a missionary, who has
spent several years in Colon, where
she established a boarding home for
American boys. Miss Johnson told of
a twelve-year-old girl she had at
tempted to rescue in Colon, who told
her she had been enticed from One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, New
York, by strange woman. Miss John
son said she was attacked in her eff
forts to get the girl out of den, and
later received word that the girl had
been beaten to death.

Doing business by drafts of ex-

other hand, when Europe has large
credits here she can draw the gold
when conditions are favorable.
These conditions are many and
complex and involve several import
ant factors and others of collateral
interest. II costs money TO pay
freight on gold, TO insure II, and II
earns no interest while in transit.
These three factors. are those which
ordinarily determine the movement
o. gold. But there are others. We
may have heavy credits abroad and
refuse to bring the gold because Il
earns more interest there than here
Or conditions may be such that bank
