The Currency Substitute.

Under the impulse of distress at the financial CEN
ter of the nation, different substitutes for money
have been issued all over the country by banking
porations, associated for mutual support in the
rious cities New York is in possession of the real
money. The people of Boise have perhaps, $2,000000
deposited there and prosperous towns all the
state of Idaho represented in the banks Of New
York city by ranging from 100000 to $5OOoO0.
This is the surplus money of the various communi-
tes placed in their local banks by thrifty inhabitants
whose earnings have exceeded their expenditures.
Generous deposits gave to the local banks plethora
of money and they shipped their excess to New York
for business reasons-for safe keeping and because
they there received compensation to the extent of
four per cent interest from the banks to which the
money was sent.
Speculation is always strong in New York and has
been especially during late years. AS willing
money flowed in from Idaho and all the west and all
the south-for Idaho is fair notwithstanding
became intense and reckless, until finally, one
day, the pressure opened the dam and the water
began to flow out
The government cast bags of gold into the crevasse
but the flood continued until fears entertained
by the people of the country, living below the dam
that they would become inundated The fact that
every community in Idaho and the northwest had
money in the New York banks and that they were
being strengthened by the government which was
turning of the peoples money into their vaults
made no difference The water values were seeking
their level through the rift in the dam and the flood
continued
1t then that the managers of the New York
banking institutions concluded that they would hold
fast to the real money they possessed lest the nan
cial world might become distressed should anything
happen to them. They refused Every prudently) to
pay back to the banks of Idaho-for instance-the
money of the Idaho people, entrusted to their
by the various banks of the state.
Instead, they issued certificates which recited in
effect that they would time meet their obliga-

SHERLEY DECLINES TO SERVE
House Relieves Him of Appoint
ment to Judiciary Committee.
Interesting stories Told a. to His
ReaSonS-Minority Leader Will
IiamS Makes Statement.

Another indication Of the troubles af-
ficting the minority OF the House of Rep
resentatives under the leadership Of John
Sharp Williams came to the surface yes
terday
Immediately after the reading Of the
journal MT Sherley. the young Repre-
sentative from the Louisville tKy) dis
trict, gained recognition and stated that
just before adjournment Tuesday the
Speaker announced his assignment 10 a
place on the Committee on the judiciary
He asked the House TO excuse him from
the service.
The Speaker put the matter before the
House. there was no objection, and il was
so ordered.
Replying 10 a question as to the reasons
for his unusual request. Mr.. Sherley an
swered that it was long story; that he
had reached the conclusion to resign be
cause of several circumstances 1t was
said TO him that the assignment seemed
most fortunate in all respects. and had
been generally commended.
TT is not because of any dissatisfaction
with the committee" he said; 'it is a
most important committee, and under
other conditions the assignment would be
considered a high honor"
Mr.. Williams was asked for q state
ment Of the reasons for sherley's refusal
TO serve.
Mr. Sherley says" replied Williams
that he does not care for position for
which the Democracy did not prefer him;
that he does not see how the party organ
ization can be maintained otherwise, and
that he does not care 10 accept crumbs
falling from the Speakers table I
recommended Mr. Webb, Of North Caro-
lima, for the place"
A rumor about the House is TO the
effect that the trouble had its origin in
the efforts TO secure report upon the
-Dolliver bill to regulate inter
state commerce in liquor 1t is pending
before the Judiciary Committee, and a
great majority of the Democratic mem
bers of the House want to see it passed.
Mr Webb favors the bill; Mr.. Shirley
il is understood, opposes it. When the
action Of the Speaker was known there
was revolt on the part Of many Demo-
Gratis, IL is said. and the intmatiOn was
conveyed 20 Mr.. Sherley that II ne ac-
cepted the assignment he must consider
it a Republican appointment. Mr.. Little
whose retirement created the vacancy. Is
said to have held the same views as Mr.
Webb
Another story is that when Mr. SherIey
was given to understand. some days ago,
that he might be appointed to the Judi
ciary Committee, he expressed himself to
the effect that if the assignment went to
man from his State, it should be given
to Representative Ollie James

Before the fortihcauons appropriation

Of Representatives, yesterday, the ques-

from formula discovered by him while
professor of chemistry at the Naval
Academy.
The British government" continued
Mr. Gaines, has provided against this
by taking to itself the inventions Of its
officers. In "a report made by Secretary
Chandler, you will find that officers have
retired under very questionable condi-
tions which are commented upon by that
gallant statesman and wasp Of intellec-
tuality. These officers have gone into
foreign lands peddling out their patents
for improved army or navy machinery.
Were these men educated at the ex-
pense of the government asked Mr..

The House District Committee viii give
a hearing this morning at 10 O'Clock on
the bin pending before Congress to Ii
cense Osteopathic physicians. The SEN
ate last session passed bill recognizing
osteopathy and it is now in the hands Of
the House committee.
Another bill on the subject drawn by
Representative Sherman. Of New York
has been before the House since last
March. Both bills propose that a board
OF FIVE physicians be appointed by the
District Commissioners TO pass on the ap-
pliCation Of all practitioners Of osteop-
athy and TO make regulations for the
conduct and examinations Of such appIi-
cants. The scope Of the legislation pro-
posed appears from the following extract
from the Senate bill: Applicants shall
submit TO examination upon the follow
ing-named branches: Anatomy, physi-
ology, chemistry. pathology. principles
and practice Of osteopathy. hygiene. his
tology. surgery, obstetrics and gynecolo-
81. medical Jurisprudence. and such other
branches as the board shall deem ad-
visable: but said board shall not exam
inc any applicant until satisfactory proof
is furnished that he or she is OF good
moral character and over twenty-0ne
years Of age, nor until he or she has pre-
sented a diploma issued to him or her by
a reputable college Of Osteopathy, which,
at the time said diploma was issued, re-
quired personal attendance upon a course
Of instruction of not less than twenty
seven months. All examinations shall be
both theoretical and practical and of suf-
hcient severity 70 test the candidates fit
ness TO practice osteOpathy." Persons
licensed to practice osteopathy are dis

SHEPPARD THRILLSTHE HOUSE
Young Texan Grows Eloquent on
Tariff and Bryan.
Handles Figures I'm MasterfuI Fash
iOn-Pays His Respects
TO President.

a dazzling oratorical outburst marked
the close Of the proceedings in the House
Of Representatives yesterday, the per
former being the young Texan prodigy,
Representative Morris Sheppard, whose
masterfuI handling Of almost incompre-
hensible figures, when dealing with tariff
and protection. was only equaied by his
brilliant power as a fancy pen sketch
artist OF The peerless order
The theme Of his defamation was the
amazing vitality OF the Democratic party
and the impauencc Of The Republican
party, clothed with almost unlimited and
apparently unendlng power What
picture it presents said Sheppard. "un-
able to accomplish anything except Dem
ocratic or nonpartisan measures The
Republican party. swollen with the spoIs
OF office, corpulent with the wine Of
power, distended with the dropsy Of cor
ruption drags its huge body over ,he
halls Of legislation. helpless among the
trophies Of the past. powerless before the
problems and responsibilities Of the fu-
ture. while its coward lips wall. III

OF President Roosevelt. Sheppard said:
The monarchical impulses Of the Presi-
dent are seen in his efforts to regulate
everything from the size Of our fam
iies 20 the manner Of spelling He has
piled Pelion on Ossa. Taft on Cuba Root
on South America, and Roosevelt on
Webster. The American people have a
lesson in simplifed spelling in store for
him. Tt proposes to teach him to spell
President Bryan"
Sheppard's peroration was introduced
with story about Sam Jones. the famous
Southern moralst. In defense and pro-
mitigation Of Democratic principles" he
said we need no special enthusiasm like
that which an old colored deacon prayed
might be given to Sam Jones from on
high. Oh, Lord he said, glib Brudder
Jones de eye ob de eagle. dat he may
see sin from afur Glue his year to de

look like a taller candle. Nail his hands
to de gospel plow. Bow his head in some
lonesome valley, where prayer is much
wonted to be made 'NOint him all over

set him afire.
And then he concluded: With an en-
thusiasm that cannot die, let us gather
beneath the stainless standard Of the
stainless leader who In a recent private
journey around the globe was honored Of
the nations as perhaps no other private
citizen of any country was ever honored
before; whose every heart beat is a throb
Of brotherhood, whose soul is ilIumined
with the love Of man; whose arm IS tire
less in the peoples cause"
Throughout his remarkable effort Shep-
pard was frequently applauded, and at the
conclusion OF his speech he received a
hattering ovation from his Democratic as
SOciates.

Prof. Jacob II. HOllander, the special
agent who was employed by the State De-
partment to investigate. both in Santo
Domingo and in Europe, the outstanding
debt Of the Dominican Republic, appeared
before the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations yesterday and was closely ques-
toned by Senator Bacon.
The Senator is Of the opinion that there
has been a good deal of fraud practiced on
Santo Domingo by its creditors. and that
the amounts they claim are much larger
than are rightfully due. Prof. Hollander
went into details on the subject, and ex-
planned that the foreign debt of the re-
public, which had been named as S9l, ,000,
000 has been scaled down to about 81, ,000,-
