CLOSES SUBSCRIP TON

Washington, Nov. 30.-Owing to the
large amount OF subscriptions received
the secretary of the treasury an
nounCed that the subscription to the 3
per cent. certificates of indebtedness
under the act Of June 10, 1898, invited
by the circular of November Is,
1907, is closed and that no
further subscriptions will be re.
ceived. The improvement in business
conditions throughout the country
makes it possible that the secretary will
extend his allotments further than
those already made
Calculations are already being made
as to the probable conditions in the
money market next spring and the
ability to call in part of the certificates.
If the amount issued should be only
$50, 900, 900. and half of these should be
paid ir six months, the interest
charges would fall materially below the
SO, 600, 900 originally calculated upon the
full issue for n year. The sum OF
SIS, 900, 900 for six months would draw
interest to the amount Of 1915, 900, n
an additional amount Of S25, 900, 900 for
one year would draw $3.50, 900, making
a total OF SLIPS, 600. This would be at
a rate of less than IL cents per capita
for the people of the country, n 1t is
argued that this you'd be a cheap
means of escaping from difficulty eve
for the humblest citizen. whose labor
might be affected by the continuance Of
the crisis.

STRINgEKCY LEADS TO
QUEER BANK FORGERY
Three Men Are Accused OF
Plot to Get Cash
Easily.

New York, Nov. 30.-As a result of a
scheme to get cash during the panic
and money stringency, a depositor ana
the paying teller and assistant cashier
of the marlborough bank. of 40 Wall
street, were arrested.
The charges involve the specific forg-
cry of a name to a check for $500. A
short affidavit was made accusing he
paying teller of having forged the name
of David T. Walker to a check drawn
on Walker Brothers, of Salt Lake City.
David L. Walker used to be president
of the PETERBOROUGH bank. Cash was
paid out for the check, and 1t was sent
to the Mechanics National bank for
collection. 1t was branded by Walker
Brothers, when 1t reached them, as "a
forgery.
The depositor, Alfred Burrows, a min
ing broker, was charged with grand lar
ceny. James J. Graham, the assistant
cashier of the bank. and James w.
DAILY, its paying teller, were arraigned
on charges of forgery.
Just how much cash the two men in
the bank paid out to Burrows the Off
GERS of the bank refused to say. The
actual loss will be not more h a S4. 900.
The object OF the plan was chiefly to
get cash, apparently, and, according to
Attorney Taylor, of the bank, none of
the men had any idea of dishonesty.
The banks accounts were juggled so
that cash could be paid TO the depositor,
in violation of certain panic rules"

COURTS IN CLASH AS
TO FEDERAL CONTROL
Judge Sanborn Holds 1t Applies
Only When Road Crosses
a State Line.

ST. Paul. NOV. 29.--In the United,
States court of appeals Judge Sanborn
gave the decision of the court in the
case of the United States VS.. the Colo,
RADIO and Northwestern railroad, i}
which the Judgment OF the district
court in Colorado was reversed and AZ
new trial ordered.
circuit court of appeals for the Sixth
district, embracing Ohio. Michigan,
kentucky and Tennessee, has held that
a railroad becomes subject to federal
control only when its lines cross the
border Of the state, a decision directly
opposed TO the decision of the court of
the Eighth judicial district.
The action OF the government in the
Colorado case was brought to recover
OF alleged violation of the interstate
safety appliance law, in that
the Colorado and Northwestern accept
ed two distinct shipments of freight
which the company accepted from 9TH
er lines in cars which were not
equipped with automatic couplers. The
district court instructed the jury for
the defendant and the government APP
pealed.
Judge Vandeventer ~concurred with
Judge Sanborn. who held in effect that
the Colorado road, although not an in
terstate line, became subject to federal
control when il accepted freight from
lines coming from without the state.
Judge Phillips dissented from this
view, holding that the road was bound
to accept the freight and passengers
under it's state charter by whomsoever
rendered and from whence 1t comes,
whether within or without the state.
and that its responsibility is limited by
the local law.
