NO MORE NEGRO TROOPS.

Tho announcement that no more
negroes will be received ut the army
recruiting stations and that all of tho
present negroes in tho army Will be
sent To tho Philippines will undoubt-

I try with genuine satisfaction. Here
and there will be heard note OF
protest, but there is no doubt but
ment will meet with hearty approval.
In time of war there may be n need
of negro troops, but the experiment of
having negro troops in the regular
army has not proved tho success that
was hoped for, anymore than tho
trial was to have a regiment
OF Indians. In many instances ne
groos have proved to be good soldiers,
but In the great majority Of cases
nature would assert itself, and that
meant anything but credit to the
service.

Strange Murder .- q. d..
i. Case IN Oakland

The police of Oakland, Cal, have
unearthed a most diabolical crime, and
nave taken into custody M. A. Viii.
kins, stationary engineer and will
charge him with the murder of his
wife, whose remains were found buried
in uuicklime underneath shed in the
yard of the Wilkins home in Elm
hurst, suburb of Oakland. - i'''is
Mrs. Wilkins had not been seen
around her home by the neighbors for
several days. 1t was known that she
was soon to give birth to child, and
inquiries regarding her whereabouts
vb neighbors elected the response from
Wilkins that she had gone to the home
of her parents in the east.
A friend of the dead woman, Mrs. j.
NJ. Anderson OF San Francisco, had
been staying with the Wilkins house,
hold during the past few days, and now
asserts that Wilkins had endeavored to
induce her to leave her husband and go
away with him. Her suspicious be-.
,ame aroused and last Monday night
in a dream she saw the body Of her
former friend lying on the ground, with
the arms crossed ever the breast. She
told the officers Of the strange incident,
and on their going TO the wilkins home
found the body in a trench under an
I'D carpet in. the shed, lying. as de-
,cribed by Mrs. Anderson. Wilkins has
told many stories about the crime
Mrs. Anderson told the officers that
she was awakened from the dream by
Wilkins, who was standing over her
with knife in his hand. When she
asked what he meant, he replied that
she had been talking wildly in her
sleep. He put away the knife and ask
ed her to take drink Of water. She
slipped some of the water, but did not
swallow it, suspecting it had been
poisoned. This proved to be the fact.
Wilkins is so years old and has always
borne good reputatino. He came to
Oaklnad with his wife from York Pa. :,
and claims to have son in Cincinnati.

qRR VAN, VISITS ROOSEVELT
He Talks Finance-Adds Details OF
Plans for Government Insurance
Of Bank Deposits. -aSz'e

President Roosevelt and w. J. Bry-
an were in consultation for half an
hour Saturday.
II was not invited to CALL Mr.. -Bry-
an said on leaving, but | called up on
the telephone and asked if the presi-
dent would receive callers. On being
informed he would I came simply to
pay my respects to the president"
Mr.. Bryan was not willing to discuss
the details of the interview, but was
free to add details to the financial
plan which he proposed few days
ago. In reviewing every measure OF
relief which had come to his notice,
Mr.. Bryan said that nothing seemed
to be intended to meet the situation
as effectively, and at the same time
as simply, as to have the government
insure depositors in national banks
against loss by reason Of the failure
of the banks. It was not intended; he
said, to have the government, collect
a fund for this purpose, to be kept
on hand Whenever a national bank
should be required to pay it's depos-
tors it would be the duty Of the gov
eminent to make an assessment on
all national banks to meet the amount
Of loss by reason of the failure. This
assessment, Mr.. Bryan said, would be
infinitely small. @lF' >..~@
4 Opposition to this plan, Bfr. Bryan
conceded, might be made by state
banks. which would be left out OF the
plan. The answer to this, he said, was
that the states should individ ually take
IN the same scheme and stand as
guarantee against loss to depositors
n state banks. s
Mr.. Bryan said as yet no plan had
been made to have his relief measure
presented to congress. However, he
ielt very encouraged over the pros
Dects of it's ultimate success. .
Being asked as to his position on
the tariff, Mr.. Bryan said, it was evil
dent that nothing could be hoped for
in the way of tariff revision during
this, republican, congress:
81 am in favor of removing the
Tariff on news print paper and wood
pulp, an article controlled by a trust,
lust as | am in favor of removing the
-ariff on all other trust controlled arti-
;les,' he said. .....~....
Mr.. Bryan remarked that he had a
very pleasant chat with the president.

BANKING ideas
MANY new PROJECTS SUB
MITTED TO CORTELY0U. "
Grouped Under Four Heads, Central
Bank of Issue, centralize Existing
National Banks, Issue More Money
AGAINST other Than U. S. Bonds,
Also on General Assets Secured.

Details of many new projects Tor I'M
proving the currency are being SUP
mitted to the president and Secretary
Cortelyou. and are receiving such at
tention as the other exigencies OF the
financial situation permit. Secretary
Cortelyou is a good listener, and usual
ly digests quickly essential parts OF the
various plans which are submitted 70
him. ..... s:.... III, ..Yr34
Measures relating to the currency,
which are being discussed among
bankers and incoming members or con-
gress, may be roughly grouped under
four heads, central bank OF issue, a
central organization of the existing ma
tional banks, the issue OF addltlonal
circulation against various classes OF
bonds other than United States bonds,
and the issue of circulation upon gen
eral assets with the security OF guar
anty fund. ...t ..,,........
The project OF a central bank based
upon general outlines OF the Bank OF
France or the Imperial Bank OF Ger
MANY has apparently been attracting
more attention Of late than any pre-
vious time in recent years. Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota, VINO IS d
member of the finance committee, mas
announced that he will Introduce Dill
for such an institution. ....ss.
Mr. Wexler, vice president OF the
Whitney-Central National bank OF New
Orleans, is openly in favor OF cen
trail bank, and says that the New Or
leans press, taught by the strain OF
the cotton situation, is generally with
him. ~
Those who favor a central bank
point to the recent crisis as the best
evidence OF the aid which it could have
afforded had it been in operation.
Their view is that the national banks
would have been able to rediscount
their paper at such an institution and
obtain it's note to an amount necessary
ro relieve the strain. It is considered
somewhat significant in some quarters
that Mr. Ridgely, the comptroller OF
the currency, has just declared TOT a
central bank of issue, after having, IN
PREVIOUS reports recommended only a
general credit currency for the existing
banks. The utterances of Mr.. Ridgely
are not however, considered to commit
the administration. Treasurer Treat
has plan which he is advocating
when he is invited to deliver public
address ON the subject. ts s:ls
1t is so long since a central bank
existed, or was even seriously dis
cussed III the United States, that there
is much difference OF opinion as to
the details of the organization Those
who advocate it generally insist, how
ever, that the secretary OF the treas,
ury and the comptroller OF the cur
rency should be ex-officio members OF
the board of directors and that the
president should appoint or approve
the selection of the head of the bank
