1t may be said also that the Gov

straight salaries to- county officers
instead of fees. He thinks this ought
to be done at this session, before
these officers enter upon a new term
and so that candidates for such Of
fees may know what to expect. The
Governor, therefore, has felt com

although 1t Is his policy to leave out
everything that would tend to create

The Governor will urge upon the
President Of the Senate and the
Speaker Of the House, and the clerks
Of the Senate and House, to summon
such employees of the Legislature to
attend the extra session whose SER
vices are absolutely necessary.

Congressman Prince, of Illinois, Dep. recates Issue of Bonds and In-
 debtedness Certificates.

Galesburg, H., Nov. 20.-Congress- man George Prince, member of the committee on banking and currency, in speaking Tuesday of the issuance of Panama bonds and debit certih- cates said:
 "We owe s9Oo,o0O.000 of interest bearing debit. We have today in the hands of national banks, and drawing no interest for the government, $240,- 000,00
 "The present policy of the secretary of the treasury is to all intents, in times of peace adding to the interest bearing debt of the people $150,000,. 900. It is not justifiable mder exist ing conditions. I think that the s50,- 900, ,000 needed for the construction of the Panama canal should be taken out of the s240,000,000 in the banks and not be raised by the bond issue. As to the s100,000,000 which is proposed to be raised by debt certificates, I do not approve of the plan at all. First because the money is worth five to SlA per ScHl lultIcSl anu lO ouc iS going to buy a government note that draws but three per cent interest.
 Second because the purpose of the three per cent note is to realize mon. ey from the sale of these certificates the money arising from the sale to be deposited in the national banks What does this mean? It means. fl understand it correctly, that the peo pie are to borrow $100,000, 900 and pay three per cent on it and hand 1t over to the national banks. to be by them loaned, without a dollars cost to them, to the people at the rate of five to ten per cent. according to the rate where the banks are located.' Prince also said he disapproved as set currency unless It was proposed to deposit in the treasury assets SC curing the issue.

 sant Reaches America.

San Francisco, Nov. 22.-After a desperate flight into the mountains of Salvador and weeks of perilous jour. neying in the jungles of Honduras. John Monssant, upon whose head the government of Salvador has set high price, has returned to San Francisco, his former home. Monssant escaped from Salvador while the entire army and navy of the Central American re- public was searching for him.
 He eluded his pursuers by heading toward the Pacific coast of the repub- lie and then doubling on his tracks and making his way to the Atlantic side. While the Salvadoran navy was searching ships for him on the Pacific he embarked on an Atlantic steamer, made his way to New York and crossed the continent to San Fran cisco.

GOV. GILLETTE MESSAGE.
California Executive Tells Legislatu the States Needs in Way
 of Financial Legislation.

Sacramento. Cal, Nov. 2o-The special session of the legislature called by Gov Gillett, convened Tues day The governors message which was read in both houses, says that the session has been convened to enact legislation, believed to be imperative, because of the unusual financial strin- gency, brought about by conditions ex- isting in the east. The country is prosperous and legitimate business was never in better condition. The present state of affairs is attributed
 to extravagant living. wild specula- tion, the frenzied finance of the stock and bond manipulators of Wall street.
 The banking laws need to be amend ed so as to afford better protection to depositors. Trust companies and
 corporations. doing an interstate busi- ness should be placed under federal
 laws, and if necessary the constitu- tion should be so amended. A com mittee should be appointed to investi- gate the methods of doing banking business in the state Owing to con ditions in the east, California bankers are unable to secure the balance due
 them. This, with the withdrawal of money from the banks and the hoard ing of it has depleted the cash reserve.

FDRAKER FOR PRESIDENT
A Questionable Endorsement Given Senator by Republican Clubs
 Executive Committee.
VIOLATES CONSTITUTION OF LEAGUE
Friends of Secretary Taft Declare That Meeting was Composed of Ar dent Supporters of the Senator Manager of Taft Canvass Challenges For Popular Primary.

Columbus. O., Nov. 22.-United was Wednesday endorsed for re-elec- tion to the senate and for the repub- lican nomination for president at a joint meeting of the executive and advisory committees of the Ohio league of republican clubs at meet ing held in this city. The commit tees also declare that they have no sympathy whatever with the propo- sition that has been advanced that Senator Foraker be eliminated and re- tired from public life because he was not able to agree with President statehood for New Mexico and Ari. zona. or about the BrownvIIle matter" The action of the joint committees at once brought out 2 challenge from A. I. Vorys, manager of the Taft presi- dential canvass for popular primary to determine the choice of the Ohio republicans of candidate for presi- dent.
 The meeting of the joint committees of the Ohio Republican league was held Wednesday afternoon. About 100 ardent supporters of Senator For aker. members of the committees. or holding proxies, were in attendance.
 When asked for an expression rela- tive to the action taken at the meet ing, MT. Vorys. manager of the Taft campaign. directed the following statement:
 "The resolution professes that the committee Is representing the SS coun- ties of Ohio. As matter of fact the members of the committee were not elected by the republicans of the sev- eral counties of this state. At the time this committee was announced, 1t was generally understood that it was appointed and its members were named by friend and representative of Senator Foraker.
 "The action of the committee, there fore is not surprising. l hope that this action may precipitate what the friends of Secretary Taft so much de- sire, and Shat is an opportunity for a direct expression by the republicans of Ohio of their choice for president am satisfied Ohio repubncans are overwhelmingly for Taft"
 Attention was called by friends of Secretary Taft to section 13 of the constitution of the Ohio League of republican clubs which says:
 This league shall not in any man. ner endeavor to influence the action of any national, state, county or mu- nicipal convention. nor shall it indi- cate as league any preference for any candidate before any political convention, nor shall it as a league recommend any person as an appli- cant for any official position"

New York. Nov. Participation Brandenburg, president of the Nation al Institute of Immigration and a magazine writer. said Wednesday night that he was the man referred to by President Gompers when the latter. at the convention in Norfolk Wednes- day, asserted that one "Charles Bran denburg," newspaper man, tried to bribe him to take part in an expo sure" of other federation leaders.
 In statement dictated Wednesday night, Mir. Brandenburg emphatically denied that he had tried to bribe Com pers. He also said that he had no connection with the National Manufac- turers' association and that his deal ings with Gompers were solely in the interests of publication, which he represented. He himself, he said. had been the intended victim of plot that failed. He said that Gomper's statement Wednesday was an effort to forestall the effect of what he knew was about to be published.

Norfolk. Va, Nov. 22.--At the Amer ican Federation of Labor meeting Wednesday afternoon President Com pers, In his speech replying to the at tacks made upon him and other offl- cers of the federation by the Manufac- tusers' association, said an attempt had been made to bribe him at the Victoria hotel. New York. in October by young man giving his name as Charles Brandenburg. The latter, President Gompers said, asserted that he represented the National Manufac- turers association and was prepared to offer him immunity from all ex- posture and make him financially se- cure for the remainder of his life if he would sign certain paper and otherwise aid in the exposure of the other leaders in the American Fedora ton of Labor with the view virtually of destroying the influence of organ ized labor"
 The paper, President Gompers said. was to purport to have been signed when he (Gompers) was i'll in 1895. This paper, MT. Gompers said. he had preserved, and. while deathlike still ness prevailed in the convention, the speaker drew out the original docu- ment and read 1t.
 Mir. Gompers, during his recital of his experience, called upon different delegates present, who were with him at the time of the interviews with Brandenburg, to verify his statements. This the delegates did.
 At the close of President Gomper's speech there was great demonstra- tion. Victor L. Berger, of Milwaukee, the sociallstic opponent of MT. Com pers, asserted that although he had bitterly opposed the reelection of President Gompers at tbs convention he will be one this year to move to make his election unanimous with a vote of confidence not only to Presi- dent Gompers, but also to the other officials of the American Federation of Labor.
