the citizens OF the town OF Ce-
rodo have decided that that town
is to continur dry. The question
of license or no license was voted on
at the town election Saturday whine
the latter alternative won by nine
votes.

The flood, which has been the
highest since that OF 1884, is now
rcceding rapidly. While the damage
is not quite so great as that done
by the January overflow, the suffer-
ing here has been greater than ey-
en- that caused by the historic over
flow of 1884.
Tae citizens who reside in the low
er part Of town had barely recover
ed from the January tide when the
river again broke its banks.
Two pominent ladies OF the town
hal become mothers a short time
before the waters surrounded their
homes. They were carried in their
bels to the National hotel, a jour
Iey of several squares for each of
them. They are still at the hotel
ard both mothers and babies are
doing well, being apparently little
TIE worse for their experience-Ce-

There was a very good timber
tide in Twelve Pole last week. The
only complaint that could be made
was that it didn't last long enough.
George w. Stephens, President of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Co.. in speech at the annual ban
qret Of the Huntington Chamber Of
Commerce on the night of the 18th
init. said he believed the West Vi
ginia Legislature in enaeting al
two cent rate law made mistake,
at the same time the railway COM
lisl.y win not attempt any retaliatory
measures. No trains will be cut
OF en- account OF the passenger ratel
All trains will be run according tol
present schedule for six months dur
ing which TIME the law will be fair
ly tested. At the end OF that time,
II it be found that certain trains
do not pay. they will be discontinu-
cd. Mr.. Stephens expressed the be-
lief that the fact that the people
and the railway companies do not
understand each other IL largely re-
s2onsible for the agitation which has
been in evidence for the past eighteen
months.

STATE UNIVERSITIES
SECOND SESSION HELD IN Sc
CRET AT sHoREHAM.

The Association Of State Universities
began the second days secret session Of
its three days convention at the Shore
ham this morning A report was made
by a joint committee of the association
and the National Educational Associa-
tion recommending that a national uni
versity be established by Congress in the
District Of Columbia, to be under govern
mental control and to serve as post-grad-
uate school to the colleges supported by
the states, the bills to be paid from the
Treasury. Of the United States. The re-
port was accepted by a majority vote.
putting the association on record as ia
voring the national university project.
No details were recommended in the COM
mittee's report. nor were they discussed
in the debate on the question.
Want Aid From Carnegie Fund.
A committee has been appointed to con-
fer with the trustees Of the Carnegie funo
to see If there is not some way by which
universities supported by states may ben
eft from the provision for pensioning
professors. State and sectarian colleges
were especially barred by Mr. Carnegie
in his deed of gift, but the delegates OF
the association are hopeful that they will
find some way of climbing over the renee
that keeps them from the pasture.
But at last they did adjourn and poseo
themselves upon the steps of the hoteI
while photographers fastened their Inca
ments on films for the delight and IN
struction of postertty.
Secretary Garfield Is the host Of the
visitors at luncheon partly because the
bureau of education is in his depart
ment, and partly because his brother Is
a college president. but head of Williams
not of state university. There may be
other reasons, but If the luncheon was
ready at the time appointed 1t must have
been cold when the guests finally gath
cred about the table.
Since the opening Of the convention
three tardy delegates have arrived. They
are Alderman of Virginia, Benton of
Miami Ohio, and former Chancellor Full
ton of Mississippi.
Tomorrow election of officers for the
ensuing year will be held.
Last Nights Session.
AT last nights session President Nc
Lean of Idaho discussed the short terms
of American colleges and the long ones of
Europe. President Bryan of Indiana
spoke on preparation of high school
teachers, and President Schurman of Cor
nell took up the question of permitting
graduate work to encroach On the UNDER
graduate curriculum. President Kings
bury Of Utah considered the advisa bility
of requiring two years in college as pre-
paratory to a professional course.

ONE KNIcKERBocKER PLAN.
Includes Cash Payment Of Deposits
Under $500.

NEW YORK, November ia plan
for the resumption of business by the
Knickerbocker Trust Company has been
practically completed by the committee
Of depositors. of which Samuel Inter
rnyer is counsel. Though some of the
details have not yet been finally deter
mined on, the substance OF the plan is
learned. It depends for success, 1t is
said upon the directors and stockholders
Of the company making sacrifices and in
wolves:
l. The increase of the capital of the
trust company from $1.20OOOo to 81
CO., 900.
.. The present stockholders subscribing
for the $4,000 of new stock at $500 per
share which will yield 81, 400 900, of which
$500 900 would be additional capital and
S1,600oO0 would be additional surplus
g. The issue OF approximately $4,000
600 of further new stock which is to be a
preferred stock to the extent of 6 per
cent and is then to rank with the 5000 :
600 Of common stock in the receipt of all
further dividends. This stock is to be
cumulative as to the per cent dividend
4. The directors or those interested with
them to form a syndicate to purchase for
cash at par the claims of all depostors of
$500 or under and to come into the gen
.ral plan& with the claims so purchased
1t has beeh deemed inadvisable and unjust
to ask the larger depositors to permit the
smaller depositors to be paid out of the
assets of the company in preference to
the former.
BY this arrangement the funds of the
company will not be drawn upon to any
extent for the payment of these small
deposits. Whatever loss or postponement
there may be In those will fall upon the
syndicate which is to purchase the de-
posts.
>. These conditions having been COM
piled with by the directors and principal
stockholders, the depositors of $500 and
over will be asked to accept 30 per cent
of their claims in the preferred stock of
the company at $500 per share. This
would about absorb the 81 900. 600 of this
class of stock.
For the balance OF 10 per cent coming
to them they would be asked to take 10
per cent in cash and the remaining 60 PEI

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Tomorrow the annual election Of the
officers Of the Washington Stock Ex-
change takes place. and as one of the
brokers remarked this morning I'VE viii
have to come here tomorrow to vote
for Tom Hume as president" and as no
other name has been mentioned 1t is
quite evident the choice Of the exchange
will fall for the second successive term
upon Mr.. Hume.
Mr.. Hume has proved to be not only a
popular presiding officer. but he has
evinced skill and Judgment in the dis
charge of the duties which during the
past year have been OF a more RESPONSE
BILE nature than usual.
1t seems there are more insurance COM
panies than one making approaches
to local concerns with the view of taking
over the business of the latter. AS far as
known nothing definite has been de-
cided upon In any case.
It is pointed out by an observer of the
general financial conditions that in stimu-
lating the output of bank note circula-
tion. which can be retired only at a linn
tied rate per month, and In stimulating
the importation of vast quantities of gold
the amount of currency in this country is
being inflated. AS soon. he adds. as
the boarding stops and money begins to
return to the banks. this, with the falling
off of business operations. will tend to
swell immensely the credit resources Of
the banks, SO that in a few months. II
the experience of the past accounts for
anything as a guide fo- the future, 1t
is fair to presume there will be an enor-
nous surplus reserve In the New York
clearing house institutions. money will be
ruling at a low rate and there will be
an oversupply rather than a scarcity Of
loanable funds. AS an Offset to such q
condition, 1t is pointed out that an over
supply of loanable funds will enable the
railroads of the country which are await
ing an opportunity 10 refund their short
time obligations into permanent bonds
and to borrow large sums of money for
further improvements and extensions, to
carry out this operation.
