STORM SWEEPS EAST
COAST; SHIPS IN DANGER
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DELAWARE BREAKWATER. Del.
Nov. PA severe northeast gale swept
the coast today and shipping has prob
ably suffered. One wreck, that OF the
schooner L. NJ. Bird of Charleston, 8. c..
for New York, is reported The schooner
dragged her anchors while off Cape Hen
lope and was blown on the beach at
Lewes. Life savers brought ashore Capt
Boldt's wife and child but the captain
and the crew decided to stand by the yes
sci. Her situation is dangerous, as the
gale continues and the schooner may
pound to pieces.
William j. Walker, an oiler aboard the
tug Luckenbach. lost his life as the result
Of the storm. He was dashed against tho
machinery and received injuries which
caused his death.

ton. Practically all the bonds now
pledged by the banks 20 secure circulation
would be taken care of under either OF
these plans.
Favor Further Issues
The pan OF further issues upon new
types OF bonds, which arc not acceptable
Under the law. finds support among those
who believe that bank notes should not
be issued except upon specific security
which Is out of the custody of the bank.
The usual measure of this kind provides
for additional Issues upon state ana
municipal bonds acceptable to the sec
retary of the treasury and in some cases
upon railroad bonds which comply with
the nrovisiops of the New York and
Massachusetts, laws for savings bank in-
vestments.
whils the advocates OF this plan regard
Il as affording more complete security
than the chamber of commerce or the
Bankers association plans, 1t is declared
by it's critics that single blu oy the
smallest bank In the country, which nap
pened to escape the scrutiny OF the Sec
retary Of the treasury by which poor
cIaes of bords was deposited and the
bank failed with limited assets, would
cast discredit upon The entire system.
II would then becoms necessary, as IN
the DAYS before the Civil War. to exam
inc every bank note received in order to
make sure that it did not come from a
bank which had failed with defective
securities for its notes.
This difficulty would be obviated by the
creation of a guaranty fund, as under
the plans of the chamber Of commerce
end the Bankers association, but sup
porters of the latter plan declare that
il would be a superlative provision to
adopt both forms of security and that the
guaranty fund affords the most complete
protection against scattered losses.
One of the questions which is likely to
arouse serious discussion is whether
cash reserve shall BIZ required against the
proposed notes. A reserve of the same
amount as that required against deposits
is provided by the bankers plan and is
considered important by Its supporters
In order to keep the issue- OF notes linked
to the gold and prevent indefinite ex-
pansion and excessive gold exports.

GOLD CONTINUES TO FLOW
IN STREAM FROM GERMANY
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Nov A.-Gold continues TO
leave Germany in a steady stream. the
Reichsbank having lost probably $1,000
900 during the past week. But the stock
has been more than replenished through
arrivals from other sources. The Reichs-
bank is trying to increase its gold sup
ply by paying out bank notes or small
denomination which recently became
available for circulation.
The impression is that the gold taken
for the United States was drawn from
the open market. The tendency shown
in Wall street during the past week has
had a calming tendency upon the minds
of the financial community. and the hope
is now entertained that a gradual recov-
cry will set in in the United States.

SEVENTEEN PER CENT A YEAR.
Depreciation of the Electric Plant In q
Minnesota Town--Interestin9 Ho!dup.

OeprecIatlon OF tne CIScITlC TIdHt III =
Mime sota Town--Interestino Ho!dup
The burning down Of the municipal
electric light plant of East Grand
Forks, Mimi. has probably settled the
question Of its abandonment, which
was under discussion prior to the fire.
A we'll informed correspondent writes
that the plant has furnished some
what Indifferent service and did not
earn enough to pay the fuel and labor
accounts. to say nothing about inter-
est on investment, depreciation, etc"
in spite Of It's charging private custom
ers $120 year for 1900 c. p. arcs on
moonlight schedule.
AS East Grand Forks is border
town and right across the line in
North Dakota "a prohibition state) is
the city of Grand Forks, about 80 per
cent of the business houses In East
Grand Forks are saloons. Many of
these got their electric lights from a
private company in Grand Forks, be-
cause the service was better and the
price lower until the council passed
resolution to the effect that no saloon
would be licensed unless it patronized
the municipal plant. ....
There is a curious discrepancy be-
tween the various reports as to the
value Of the plant. In January the
city authorities reported that the plant
had cost $4,000. Three months later
they estimated the fire loss at $4,000.
although we understand that the plant
is entirely destroyed, and adjusted the
loss at $1,000, the plant having been In
sured for $S40O. AS 1t was installed in
1902, it looks as though the deprecia-
ton amounted to "a per cent In FIVE
years, or II per cent a year. The plant
will probably not be rebuilt.
