SCHEME ON FOOT TO MAKE FIGHTING
BOB" EVANS VICE ADMIRAL OF NAVY

Washington. Oct 27.-The great battle
ship fleet which is to make its way from
the Atlantic to the Pacific will probably
be commanded by a vice admiral and
that officer is now Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans OF course, this is conditional
upon congress giving its sanction to the
proposal that will be made by the presi-
dent TO establish this new rank in the
navy. Conditions now are believed to be
more favorable than ever before for this
project Rear Admiral Evans is going
10 sail in command of the most powerful
fleet that ever gathered under the Ameri-
can flag. Not only that he commands
more battleships of modern type than any
other naval officer I'm the world and the
only country whose blue pennant floats
over a more numerous fleet of all kinds
of warships is Lord Charles Beresford.
and he is of greater rank than a vice
admiral, being an admiral. like Dewey.

On this cruise the American fleet is to
touch in many foreign parts and is to
exchange courtesies with foreign fleets
III several places, in Brazil, Chile, Ar
gentina ano other countries The Ameri-
can commander, supposing he is to re-
tam MS present title of rear admiral
would be outranked. for the navies of ali
these countries contain officers of the
grade of vice admiral which would make
the American commanders position hui
initiating.
1t would be pointed out in Rear Admiral
Evans case that not only is he by his
remarkable service entitled TO this adj
vancement. but any objections to the ere
alton of this new grade that might be
preached in congress might be overcome
by epointing to the fact that as Admiral
Evans retires next August, the office
would be of short duration.

CONFERENCE ON RATES.

Washington. Oct. 27.--With the OBJ
ject of arriving at an amicable solu-
ton of the pending rate problems in
the southern states, a conference will
be held in Atlanta, Ga, next Thursday.
I'm which the governors of Alabama.
Georgia. North Carolina and perhaps
Virginia, viii participate. What is
desired on the part of all parties con-
cerned is to secure If possible a uni
form passenger rate in these states.

The level of prices of securities is
serving to attract demand of substan-

and 1t is evident that some of the de-

purchase of securities on a cash basis.
The week closed with a general acces-
sion of confidence and hopefulness.

viii Follow Precedent.

The indications are that banking in
situations will not pay out large
amounts in currency tomorrow except
to meet legitimate requirements of
their clients for current business 1t
has long been the practice of trust
companies and some of the smaller
banks, in meeting checks for consider
able amounts to draw checks upon the
national banks with which their re-
serves are kept. If they pursue this
policy tomorrow and until the end of
the present crisis, it will not be de-
parture from their usual practice. Such
checks under ordinary circumstances
are preferred to currency, and if cur
rency is demanded in unusual amounts
ii will be refused unless evidence is
given that it is required in good faith
and for other purposes than boarding,
TO prevent which, is the main purpose
of this step.
Small Checks Will Be Paid.
Currency will be paid on small
checks as desired and to provide funds
for payrolls and other legitimate and
ordinary uses. 1t may be thought adj
visable to stamp checks payable
through clearing house." as was done
In 1893 The suspension of currency
payments at that time extended to all
the banks and also the trust compa-
niles, which were then a comparatively
small factor in the situation. Little
if any Inconvenience resulted from the
payment by checks instead of cur
rency, except in cases where there was
q special need for currency. Currency
at that time went to a premium of a
fraction of one per cent, and i'm some
cases even as high as a full one per
cent. This was due to the fact that
currency was refused even for payrolls,
for the use of retail. shops and for other
purposes for which 1t was required.
1t is believed that the situation will
not be acute on this occasion, and that
currency can be paid where it is re-
quired for legitimate business purposes

harbors congress to demand that a
more liberal proportion of the revenues
of the government derived from COM

the national channels of trade and
transportation, the amount heretofore
appropriated for such improvement
having been about per cent.

PLANS OF THE FINANcIERs.
Withdrawals of Currency viii Be
Prevented If Possible.

New York, Oct. 27.-The feeling
among banking authorities is that
united action and wise counsels have
already accomplished much in provid-
ing solution for the financial prob
lem with which they have been called
on to deal during the past week, and
that with remedial plans now further
per1enced during the past week. Most
uninterrupted maintenance of financial
stability. Today was marked by the
usual Sunday calm, which gave the
financial leaders an opportunity to ease
the tension of overweight nerves ex-
perienceS during the past week Most
of them remained at home throughout
the day, and there was a noticeable alb
sence of the hurried conferences of
recent days.
The departure of Secretary Cortel-
you for Washington removed a con-
spicuous figure from the field, but it
was felt that with President Roose-
velts strong support, as expressed in
his letter made public last night. Mr..
Cortelyou's presence i'm Washington
was favorable to such further govern
ment assistance as might be re-
quired.
Theme of Sermons.
In the churches many of the SER
financial situation, Rev. Donald Mae
Kay at the Church of St Nicholas,
dealing at length with the subject, and
Monsignor Levelle also taking a SINH
lar text at st. Patricks cathedral.
These and other sermons were nota-
bic for their strong counsel toward
public calm.
At the clearing house there was
much evidence of activity in prepara-
ton for the issuance of loan certifi-
Gates. This, however, was confined to
subordinates. as the loan committee
which is to pass upon collateral Of
fered for the certificates did not hold
formal session. Another evidence of
activity was the small knots of peo-
pie gathered at some of the institu-
tions where runs were in progress last
week, waiting for advantageous posi-
tons on the opening of business to-

CRISIS INEVITABLE.
French Financial Writers Discuss
Causes of the Crash.

Paris. Oct. 27.-The prevailing opinion
in financial circles here IS that the worst
phase of the crisis in New York is over
if it does not extend TO the interior of the
country. No skepticism exists regarding
the enormous wealth and resources of the
country, or the solid basis of its pros
perity. and the utmost confidence is ex-
pressed in ]. PierpOnt Morgan and the
coterie of bankers at the helm. Meas
ures of relief taken by the clearing house
in New York and by Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou are also approved.
Nevertheless, it is recognized that the
machinery of credit is extremely delicate
and that the shock to public confidence
constitutes the gravest feature of the
situation. F'hench bankers congratulate
themselves on the fact that they are
practically not involved as the market
long since was cleared of American bills.
Operations in American securities on the
bourse amount to substantially nothing
and prove that French investors in them
are able to hold on.
Analysing the Causes.
The financial writer's pay more atten-
ton TO the analysis of the causes OF
the panic and the ultimate good that IS
sure to follow than TO predictions OF e.
future. They agree generally that the
crisis WAS the inevitable sequence to a
period of Indifferent harvests and Pres
ident ROOseveit's campaign against cor
porate abuses. Many also regard it as
a most acute phase of a worldwide crisis.
The lesson they all draw is that the fl
nanciai situation in New York should
lead to a reorganization of the Ameri-
can monetary system. the establishment
of a government bank of remission and
rediscOunt such as exists in England.
Germany and France, and q change in
the methods of the New York stock ex-
change by which sales and purchases
shall be confined to securities.

Bankers and FinancierS of Chi
cago Regard Money Panic
as Practically Over.
USE CERTIFICATES
PROBATION NECESSARY AT
SUCH A TIME.

Chicago. Oct. 27.-Financiers and BANK
ers of Chicago tonight look forward with
hopefulness to the probable continuance
of the present financial solvency of Chi
cago banks and trust companies, basing
their expectations on the protective meas
ures taken by the clearing house asso-
clatlon last night In ordering the issu-
ance of clearing house certificates and
the putting in force of the legal notice
that may be required for the withdrawal
OF savings bank deposits The clearing
house association held long meeting
today TO discuss the possible DEVELOPMENTS
IN the present money stringency and to
perfect details of the new plan adopted
10 ward off possible scarcity of cash
No Time to Speculate.
Chicago bankers are discouraging specu-
lation in stocks and grains. and they pre-
dlct that dealings in such investments
Chicago is concerned. The inability of
savings bank depositors to withdraw mon
ey without thirty days notice will aid
the bankers in their desire to keep peo-
pie from tying up Chicago money in Sc
curities that would be bought and paid
for in the east. Such leading bankers as
John j. Mitchell of the Illinois Trust e
Savings bank. j. B. Forgan of the First
National bank and f. A. Potter of the
american Trust & Savings bank tonight
asserted that there was absolutely no
cause for alarm in Chicago; that all Chi
caSo banks were solvent and in good
condition for normal times; that bust
ness would proceed unhindered on
checking basis, and that in probably a
snort time the emergency arrangements
10 prevent the withdrawal of cash from
banks would not be needed

deDlts on Monday, and the savings banks
