The banks in this city were com
PEELED Tuesday to adopt the same
rule as adopted in all cities in this
state, and the cities all over the coun-
try, and limit the amount of currency
to be paid out over the counter on
any II account TO S25 in one day.
On the following day the limit was
reduced to SO. This action is abso
lutely necessary for the protection of
all business interests. By the action
of the New York banks in refusing to
pay out currency every locality in the
country will be compelled to transact
all its business on the currency exist
ing in that locality at the time the
money situation was frightened by the
New York banks. Checks are accept
ed for credit and drafts on Minneapo-
lis and Chicago are issued by local
banks and accepted by the payee as
usual. Chicago and Minneapolis banks
carrying deposits of millions have
placed payment of currency as low
as 500 on any account in one day.
We believe our bankers have acted
very wisely in this instance. The ac-
tion benefits the whole community
and we hope our people will lend their
hearty cooperation. Throughout the
west the sentiment prevails that the
banks YER never stronger than right
now, which is proved by the fact that
exchange is accepted without ques.
ton. The root to the whole matter is
in Wall Street where the currency is
held.

THE DENVER BANKS
EXPLAIN THE CHECKS

That the public might become fully
informed concerning cashiers checks
the Denver Clearing House Associa-
tion yesterday issued the following
statement:
"First-That these cashiers checks
are absolutely secured by a deposit
of collateral in the hands of this
association.
"Second-That the value Of the
collateral has been passed upon by
the finance committee of this asso-
citation. and the cashiers checks
issued against this security only to
an amount of Is percent of that
valuation.
"Third-That the cashiers checks
Will be received on deposit by all
Denver banks on the same basis as
any form of coin or currency, with
out discount of any kind.
Fourth-That the issue of these
cashiers checks has been deemed al
visable not because the local bank
ing conditions the not thoroughly
sound. but because their reserve de-
posits in Eastern banks are not
available for the time being in cur
rency; and that. therefore, a local
scarcity of actual cash becomes un-
avoidable.

ceptance of the measure adopted by
the banks is the best possible guar

While the old style reciprocating en-.
gines still have many champions. the
success of the Lusitania would seem
to indicate that ther days are num-
bered. Economy of fuel, greater
speed and the absence of vibration
are the claims of superiority for the
turbine engines. The only impor-
tant disadvantage of this type OF
power for ocean liners is its non
reversibility. The use of turbines al
lows Of great division of power,
and advantage is taken of this in
the Mauretauia by equipping it with
four propeller shafts. AS about
10000 horse power is necessary to
drive the boat 26 knots. this division
is absolutely required The four tur-
bines. arranged about the center OF
the ship, are on about the same
level. tending to great stability. Two
of the four are high pressure tur-
bines, and two are low pressure. The
steam enters the high pressue tur-
bines from boilers, and, after per-
forming its work in them. passes
into the low pressure turbines be-
fore reaching the condenser. 1t is
then condensed and again returned
to the boilers.
The electrical equipment of the
Mauretania is more complete than
ever before attempted on an ocean
liner. The generating plant has a
total capacity of 1000 horse power
considerably more than is required
for goodly-sized city-and cleo
tricity has been utilized in every pos
sible way on the ship. 1t is applied
to the domestic operation of slicing
ham and bread, and to the important
duty of producing a forced draught
liz the boiler furnaces, by which
means alone a racing speed can be
obtained. Over 5000 electric lights
are used in the various parts of the
ship. The cranes for loading and
unloading baggage and mail are also
operated by electricity. All the VEN
tilation is accomplished by means of
electric-driven fans. and which send
cool or hot air into the cabins and
saloon direct from the top deck,
where the atmosphere is pure and
fresh.
