HE BLAMES THE PEOPLE.
Shaw Says They Began Withdrawing
Money and Locking 1t Up in August.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 12.-Former
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw in an
address before the Chamber of Com
merce at New Haven last night declared
the ONLY weakness of the American
monetary system is that the currency
is nonelastic, that its volume does not
respond to changing seasons and the
varying needs of trade He said in
part:
There were indications as early as
August" said Mr.. Shaw, that people
were Withdrawing money and locking
it up. It was the incipient symptoms
of a disease which always shows itself
in this way. In addition increased
commercial activity incident to the re-
turn of business men from summer va
cations a ripening crop and the in
laying of stocks of merchandise caused
an unprecedented demand for money.
Still, the aggregate volume remained
fixed and nonelastic-
Had the national banks been en-
powered to issue additional circulation
equal to so per cent of their capital
without a deposit to secure its redemp-
ton but subject to a tax of per cent
an aggregate increase of $500, 900, 900
would have been possible and 5000, 100000
would very likely have been issued. The
people would have carried to their safe
deposit vaults or taken home for con-
cea1ment national bank note as read
lily as gold certificate and they would
have been just as safe.
THE redemption of the existing ma
tional bank note is now guaranteed by
the government for it is secured by
deposit of government bonds which are
direct obligations of the government 1
grant that it is illogical for the govern
ment to guarantee bank notes, but the
people have become SO accustomed to
money bearing in one form or another
the obligation of the government it
would be willing to concede the guaran-
tee to this suggested additional iSSu-
ance of bank notes.
ct do not believe it possible to make
an elastic currency based on collateral
security. 1t would be impracticable to
have the government pass upon the
solvency of commercial paper deposited
as a basis of circulation and the banks
would find it quite as difficult to get
bonds with which to secure additional
circulation as to get the money itself.
There is no occasion for the increased
issue until the banks have exhausted
their cash resources and when their
cash resources are exhausted they have
nothing available with which to buy
bonds.
''Of course the banks should not be
permitted to issue this uncovered addi-
tiona1 circulation without the consent
of the comptroller of the currency
When the request is submitted, the
comptroller will naturally look at the
record of the bank at the time of the
last official examination, or he will
cause a special examination to be made
and grant or withhold consent in the
light of the record in his office. By
having the additional circulation iden-
teal in form with the bonds secured
which we now have, the increase would
alarm-a very important feature, as
view it."

The situation in the corn market seems
to be confusing and misleading. The re-
making the 1907 crop 1855, OOO, 900 bushels is
a problem many traders and grain dealers
are unable to solve. The October report
centage of rs. suggested a crop of 2,44S,-
100000 bushels. The October report gives
the condition of corn uD to October LIST
and the November report makes the con-
dition I'D to November LIST.
Since husking has begun disappointing

in farmers hands November /, 49, 600, 900
bushels. The price over last year is about
10 cents higher: The crop of 1906 was g.

high according to the figures issued by
the government, making this years crop
2, $50, 10000 bushels higher than one year
ago. Is the shortage discounted? The

FOR ROBBING A VETERAN
Three Negroes Are Bound Over to the
District Court.

Bessie Taylor, negress, was held
for trial in the district court on a
charge of grand larceny by Judge ST.
mon in the court of Topeka this
morning and Alex Moody, a negro
and Anna Coombs negress, were
held for trial as being accessories af-
ter the crime. The Taylor woman's
bond was fixed at one thousand dol
lars and the bonds of the Combs wo-
man and Moody were placed at $500
each.
This trio has preliminary hear
ing in the city court today on the
charge that they were responsible for
robbing Levi Plumley, a veteran of
the civil war. and eighty-five years
old, of $50 on November 5. Lumley,
who is small of stature. told his story
of the robbery this morning.
He said that shortly after the noon
hour on November 5, he was walking
along East First street when the Tay-
lor woman attracted his attention by
numbered 317 East First street. He
went into the house and talked with
the woman for some time and she
asked him for some money, saying
that she was hungry and wanted to
get something to eat. He gave her
twenty-five cents When he started
to leave the house he discovered that
his pocketbook containing the $50 was
missing. He accused the woman of
having taken it. This she denied. He
if she would give him the balance of
the money. She still DECLARED that
she had not taken the pocketbook and
Lumley went out and notified the po
lice.
Detective Hutton, who worked on
the case. testified to going to the house
later in the day. He found Moody
and the Combs woman there and la
ter found the Taylor woman in the
house While he was talking to
Moody and the COOmbS woman the
former passed the latter something
which she clasped in her hand and
around broom handle she was hold
ing. Hutton told the woman to give
him what Moody had passed to her.
She did so and it proved to be $50 in
bills of denominations similar to the
ones Plumley had in his pocketbook.

MARKET ST.
GRADE DELAYS
The PAVING

Sub-contractors Liddle & Pfeiffer
have completed grading the upper
end of Market street, between the
spur of the Lehigh Valley railroad
and Herbert street.
The. city surveyor finds. that the
dirt taken off the upper end of Mar
ket street will not nearly fill in the
depression near Herbert street, and,
for some time TO come, when speci-
fications are drawn for the grading
of streets, the city engineers will
have an extra clause in them, that
surplus dirt is to be carted to the
Upper end of Market street for filling
in. Even at tnat rate, it will take
long time and considerable
amount of dirt to have the street at
the proper grade.
The Standard Bitulithic Company
is, for the time being, through with
the work on that thoroushfare. 1t
will be resumed in the spring, when
work will be started to lay Il btu
