TO INVESTIGATE
 DEATH OF ITALIANS
ITALIAN AMBASSADOR AT WASH. INGTON WILL LOOK INTO KILL ING REPORTED FROM LOUIS LANA TOWN.

Washington, December 16.-Prompt steps will be taken by Italian Ambassador Mayor des Ranches to ascertain the ex- act facts connected with the shooting and killing of two Italians Saturday night at Chathamville, La, who mad been import ed there to work in the camps of the Ire mont Lumber company. The murder IS said to have been committed by mob of American workmen, who had been dis placed by the Italians in the lumber camps.
 bionello Seelsi, the Italian consul for Louisiana, with headquarters at New Or leans, will report to the ambassador all the incidents bearing on the tragedy. The probability is that the case will reach the state department.
 The ambassador was greatly shocked on learning of the affair. and regrets that the feeling against his countrymen is so great as to manifest itself in this manner. Heretofore he has had no occasion to call the attention of the state department to stories of cruelty to Italians in the South

SOMEBODY HAS
 MADE A MISTAKE

>->--->~--~~~~----~-~~-- ~---~~-~-~~~-~--~--~~---- estimate of this years cotton crop has injuriously affected the producers of one of the worlds greatest commodities; now, therefore to the end that this wrong may be corrected before the producer dis poses of the remainder of this years crop, and to the end that the facts may be given the public:
 Be it resolved, by the House of Repre- sentatives, the Senate concurring, That the honorable Secretary Of Agriculture be, and he is hereby requested and re- quired to furnish to the Congress of the United States as early as possible the figures and information upon which he based his estimate of the cotton crop of the United States for the year 1907.
 With reference to his resolution MT. Heflin said:
 By December 1, 1905, according to the government report there had been ginned S,690,000 bales of cotton, and there re- mained to be ginned of that years crop according to the governments final re- port, 1,SS500O bales. Now, when the gov ernment report shows only ,000 bales ginned by December 1, 1907-352, 900 bales less than was ginned by December l. 1905 T want to know, and the cotton pro- ducing section of this country wants to know. by what method of reasoning the Secretary of Agriculture reaches the con- clusion that there remains to be ginned of this years crop 0000 bales. This estimate of the Secretary of Agriculture has cost the producer several millions of dollars already.
 "The facts do not warrant his estimate No such crop has been made. If we are going to rely on the government as to the cotton crOD. why we must insist that those in authority base their estimates upon that information, and not upon sug- gestions from any other source.
 '"The passage of my resolution will ac- complish this end and 1t will reveal to the country. in time to help the cotton producer obtain a fair price for the re- mainder of this years crop-that the Secretary of Agriculture is entirely wrong and mistaken In his estimate of the cotton crop for 1907 v

POLICE FORGE IS
 AGAIN SWORN IN
MERIDIAN TROUBLES ARE OVER AND THE CITY FATHERS HAVE PATCHED UP PEACE AND RE. APPOINTED POLICE.

Meridian, Miss, December 16.-(Special) ) The long standing trouble in the city police department was anlicably adjusted today by compromise between the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Councilmen. The aldermen agreed to a two-year term if the council would agree that each member of the present force be retained for that length of time. An ordinance to that effect was adopted and the force was reappointed and sworn in.
 This settles one of the most interest ing questions that has ever arisen in the history of the municipality. Tonight Judge Robert F. Cochran of the circuit court addressed the members of the po- lice department in a body. He paid the men several fine compliments and prom ised them the support of his court in the discharge of their duty. The Board of Aldermen have proved the friends of the police throughout the fight and the settlement is considered a great victory for that body.

BIRMINGHAM MAN WRITES
 ON INITIATION OF DEPOSITS
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
 To the Editor of the Evening Post:
 sir-Mr Henry Dunning Macleod, NJ A, in his History of Economies, on page 400, in defining and explaining a deposit, says; And as every advance a banker makes is done by creating and issuing right of action against himself to his cus- toner, and as a banker has an unlimited right of buying any amount of debts or obligations from his customers by ere atlng many of these deposits, rights of action, or issues as he pleases, it fol- lows that every banker has the right Of unlimited issue.''
 Again. he says: And a sudden in- crease of deposits is, therefore. nothing mora than imitation of credit, exactly similar to a sudden increase of bank notes. Deposits are nothing but bank notes in disguise"
 If these propositions are sound, does it not behoove both the bankers and the lawmakers to put some effective restric- tlon upon this right of issue?
 Teh national banking act now imposes a limitation upon this power of the na- tional banks by the reserve required, but if the trust companies doing a banking business all over the country are prac- tically unlimited in their right to issue these credits, and these are nothing but banknotes in disguise, how are the finances of the country to be put on 8 safe basis?
 It seems 10 be conceded that an unlim- ited right to issue banknotes is certain to lead to disaster, and it follows that if Mr MacLeod's propositions are sound the unlimited power to receive deposits is equally unsafe and unsound. Recent events seem to demonstrate that the views of our author are well-founded and 1t appears now that our trouble is not solely attributable to our inefficient currency system, but is largely due to banks which issue no currency, viz. :: Trust companies in New York that ap- pear to have disregarded the fundamen- tai rules of safe and prudent banking.
 Being q mere tyro in banking itself, write this, not for the purpose of ex- pressing any views of my own, for these would be valueless, but simply to ask you,s. in your own lucid way, to give your views on these propositions through the columns of the Evening Post to en- tighten us, living in the provinces.

moval of restrictions with which the law surrounds the Secretary of the Treasury fin depositing treasury bal ances in national banks In times of need. He said that he believed sec- tiona1 jealousies, prejudices and lack of intelligent treatment of the barbarous conditions surrounding the accumu 1ation of moneys by the United States treasury and it's distribution in deposit tories, however wisely carried out tend under the present system, to az gravate the weakness of our currency system and will, if persisted in, con tinue to be a burden upon any system of currency. however wisely devised.
 On behalf of Isaac N. Seligman, a resolution was introduced declaring that "the National Civic Federation. without committing itself specifically to any of the many plans of currency reform, content itself with the declar ation that Congress should, after care ful consideration, pass as speedily as possible consistent with security and safety some measure which will i'm part to our currency system greater elasticity, so urgently demanded throughout the country"

the present method, generally pursued in New York, of banks and trust com- panies which do banking business, paying interest on deposits, vicious, in that 1t attracts large deposits there which can only be profitably used for specula- tive purposes on the exchanges by the kings of finance and others, and should there be any remedy applied to this, and. If so, what? ALEX T. LONDON.
 Birmingham, Ala December 5.
 The deductions above set forth are ab- solutely sound. Credit has been abnor- mally inflated, in the past half-dozen years. through exactly the processes de- scribed in the foregoing letter. In the Evening Posts opinion, the strain on our money markets since the summer of 1905. eliminating in the panic of last October, had less connection with an imperfect currency system than that of any sim liar panic period in American history.
 Imitation through excessive expansion of deposits Is far more dangerous in it's immediate results than imitation through excessive expansion of banknote issues; because banknotes will inevitably be vide ly distributed so that it will take time to accumulate them for run by the public, whereas a. run of deposltors may begin on an hours notice.
 The payment of interest on deposits of individuals or of other banks, by banks and by trust companies doing a banking business is an extremely questionable practice. At precisely this period of 1S73 when bankers were willing to face frank ly the evils in which they had been in dulging, the committee of the New York clearing house reported as follows:
 No institution can, in the long run purchase deposits of money payable on demand of the owners, and at the sams time secure to itself just and proper compensation for the business, without violating some of the conditions indis- pensable to the public safety"
 John Jay Knox, comptroller of the cur rency, spoke in his December report of the same year, 1873. of the evils result ing from the payment of interest on such deposits and added:
 Ut may be safely said that this cus- tom, which prevails in almost every city and village of the union, has done more than any other to demoralze the busi- ness of banking"

and the speaker argued that the plan might quite as effectually tie up the de- posits as though they were locked up in the sub-treasury. He concluded by saying that there was absolutely no need for postal savings banks and that they would be more productive of harm than good.
