for circulation and win ship the notes at once.
 Secretary Corteiyou Is carefully studying the applications for certifi- cates in order to make the allotments in the manner which will be most ben eficial to the monetary situation. The secretary continued to receive calls to- day from prominent bankers and let ters from various points in regard to the new issues. Among those who called on Secretary Cortelyou today was MT. Sol Wexler. vice president of the Whitney Central Bank. of New Orleans. Mir. wexler reported that the cotton movement was going forward remarkably we'll under the adverse con ditions prevailing. The New Orleans banks are supplying currency to the same time are maintaining adequate cash reserves.
 It is desired, however, to obtain all the assistance possible from the treas ury in order to prevent a deficiency of currency which would congest the cot ton crop at Southern points and pre- vent the drawing of bills against ship ments to Europe Thus for the diffi- oulty in disposing of bills for cash at New York, which was somewhat acute two or three weeks ago. has been largely overcome partly by an improve ment in the general ST uation and part ly by direct dealings with Europe,
 Rumors are in circulation in regard to the purpose of the President and Secretary Cortelyou in regard to the currency legislation. Suggestions, such as the insuring of deposits in national banks which MT. Bryan has just en- dorsed, the issue of additional bank notes against State and municipal bonds and the requirement. of interest on government deposits in the banks are reported to have been presented to members of the administration and to have been favorabiy received. The fact appears to be, however, that the President and Secretary of the Treas ury are simply assuming receptive at. titude and are listening to all suggss- tions which are made to them without committing themselves to any.

BIG GAS WELL AT HUNTSVILLE.
Brought in Yesterday-Shows
 Enormous Pressure.
fcomuunicated.,


 A telerram received here last night from the Headquarters of the New York Alabama oil Company announces the fact that another big gusher was struck at Huntsville yesterday within a mile of the Court house.
 This is the fourth gusher In Hunts vile and the eighth in Madison coun.. ty.
 This gas field extending North and South of Huntsville for about forty miles is coming up to full expecta- tions, and the dream of cheap fuel and light is being realized at last. by the residents of that section.
 On the first day of last August natural gas wss turned on through the pipes of the old artificial gas com pany, which had been absorbed oy the New York Alabama Oil Company.
 So far as the casual observer can fudge Huntsville has natural gas to burn and there Is no reason why neighboring cities should not be sup piled from this field.
 Tn natural gas districts in the. Nortn this fuel is piped to cities and towns over three hundred miles away.
 Distance does not at all forbid the piping of natural gas to Birmingham, Montgomery and even points further South.
 At fifty cents per thousand cubic feet, natural gas Is an admirable and economical fuel.

CORTELYOU'S PLANS
ALLOTMENT OF NEW CERTIFI- GATES TO BANK.
Me Proposes To Return TC Them Seyenfy-Fve Per Cent Of The Cash Paid Fer The
 Bonds.

washington. Nov. 22.-An important' announcement of policy was made by Secretary Cortelyou late this afternoon, in regard to the allotment of the new one year treasury certificates, Whlch indicates that the Secretary is prepared 10 cut red tape as far as possible and place the proceeds of the sale of the certificates promptly at the disposition Of the money market.
 He proposes to return to national banks sub bscribing for the certificates as a deposit of public money. 75 per cent of the cash paid for them. The remaining 25 per cent will go for the time being to strengthen the cash bal ance of the treasury.
 me banks surrendering this 25 per cent will not, however, suffer reduc- ffor in their supply @of currency, for they will be entitled to receive the par value of the certificates purchased in new bank note circulation. In order to make this transaction Immediately effective, the treasury will retain the certificates purchased by each bank if it desires that they be deposited with the United States treasurer as security

Be Applied.
 New York. Nov. s2.--The extent to which New York banks will subscribe to the new issue of treasury certificates Is not yet definitely fixed, but 1t is expected that there will be liberal participation when a full understand ing is secured as to the uses to which the certificates may be applied.
 At the outside. there was doubt as to whether they could be used as basis for the Issue of national bank note circulation. Some bankers main tain that a strict construction of the national banking act required bonds as security for circulation, whereas 1t was at first clear that the certificates came strictly within the meaning of bond. Now. however, It is the ac- cepted view in banking circles that the certificates can be utilized as q Basis for circulation, but not for bank reserves. The advantage of this use of the new issue. for circulation par poses is very great, not only as banking transaction, but as means of < relieving the stringency as the bank note circulation will speedily get into public use.
 The ~act that the Panama Canal bonds are to draw interest of only ? per cent, while the Treasury certt- ncaIeS are Fateu hS yer CohS S1Sath ties, is placing the former at censid-. erable disadvantage in the present state of the market and calls for the bends that have been restricted th,s far in this city. This has led to a belief in some quarters that the Pan- anna issue may be deferred for the present. but there will be ample time for this determination later on as the time for submitting bids for the Panama issue does not close until Mo- vember 30.
 Wall Street fipanclers are predicting that the present influx of gold from Europe .lwalI amount to more than s1oO, ,0Oo, ,ooo before 1t is concluded.

Georgetown, Ky. Nov. 22.-The spe- eial Grant county venire of 15o from which to select a jury In the Caleb Powers's case. arrived this morning and the work of examining them. touching on their qualifications for jury service consumed the entire day.
 A decided sensation ensued when 1t was learned that Arthur Goebeb broth : CT of the murdered man. accompanied Sheriff Warning into Grant county. As Powers was allowed to send his broth er-in-law H. W. Green, and several friends along with Sheriff Warning and his deputy, Arthur Goebel also de- cided to go along and watch the sum moning process. Never before perhaps fn the history of Kentucky courts was a prisoner on trial and those who are prosecuting him, allowed to send repre- eantatives with a court bailin to see that fair. impartial and appropriated jury was summoned.
 At s:3o o'clock this afternoon. the fury box in the trial of Caleb Powers was filled, four of the possible jurors being from Harrison county and eight from Grant, this resulting from the re- tention of four men who qualified from the first venire from Harrison county. The jury was composed of eight Dem ocrats. three Republicans and one in- dependent.
 The commonwealth challenegd O. O. Stevenson, the one independent. Four men were called before the vacancy was filled after which the commonwealth accepted the jury. The defense used seven peremptory challenges leaving five men on the jury. three Republicans and two Democrats.
 Mayor Owens indicated by his exam fnation of one or two jurors that ne had information that the Democrats he'd some understanding about qualify ing themselves as jurors by declaring that they had not formed nor expressed an opinion.
 The question bearing this significance received a prompt negative answer. yeniremen necessary to complete the panel were under examination when court adjourned at 5:30 o'clock until q A,eincir in fhe AYeninR. .a
