READY TO ISSUE
MANY MILLIONS
National Bankers Think Much
of the Scheme Broached by
Comptroller Ridgely.
NEW YORK SHY ON BONDS
EXPECTS TO BORROW SOME AND
PRINT MORE MONEY.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Treasury Off
Gals are agreeably surprised at the
number of banks throughout the coun-
try which have already indicated their
purpose to comply with the suggestion
of the comptroller that additional cur
Tency be taken out. Although the sug-
gestion was made only yesterday aft
ernoon. a large number of kilograms
were received at the department as
early as o'clock this morning asking
for additional circulation varying in
amounts from a few thousand dollars
to $1,000, 600. George E. Roberts, for
mer director of the mint and now pres
ident of the Commercial National bank
of Chicago, is here and has engaged
100000 additional circulation for his
bank Sol Wexler, vice president OF the
Whitney Central National bank of
New Orleans, is also here and is max
ing arrangements to materially in
crease his holdings.
VIII Play the Limit.
Other prominent bankers, through
Washington representatives, are ar
Ranging to deposit the necessary securi-
ties preparatory to taking out nation
al bank notes to the limit of their cap
ital stock. The comptroller now has
in his vaults national bank currency
to the amount of s167 .OO0. 600. and while
a considerable portion of this belongs
To banks that have already reached
their limit under the law. very large
sum is available for banks that carry
only a comparatively small amount
when compared with their capital.
New York Out of Bonds.
One large New York bank could; I'M
der the law, 1t is said, take out S1o,-
600, 900 additional circulation and in all
probability will soon ask for a material
increase. Mr.. Ridgely today expressed
the opinion that within the next ten
days the outstanding circulation of
banks will have been increased from
$15. 000, 900 to sac, 600 900 or more There
are indications that New York banks
which have no United States bonds on
hand to deposit as security for circu-
lation are borrowing them from other
banks that have a surplus on hand or
have already reached their limit In
many instances these requests for ac-
commodations of this character are
being complied with and there seems
10 be a general inclination among the
banks to assist one another in the eff
fort TO materially increase the amount
of bank circulation.

Other California Cities,

Los Angeles, Oct 31.-The declaration of
a legal holiday today by Governor Gillette
was received without effect so far as
the financial institutions of Los Angeles
were concerned. All banks and trust
companies opened and transacted business
as usual and there were no evidences of
any change whatever from yesterday.
Some slight change was necessary in mi
nor matters to conform to the legal re-
quirements of a holiday, but these had
no important effect.
Local bankers We're united in saving
that the situation here was In such good
order that the declaration of legal holt
days was not required.
Sacramento. Oct. 31.-The banks of Sac
Tamento have all declined to take advan-
tage of the legal holiday declared by
Governor Gillett and opened their doors
for business as usual Tins morning. There
was no evidence of any uneasiness on
the part of depositors. All of the banks
declare the local financial institutions to
be in a most prosperous and sound con-
ditiOn.
San Diego, Oct. 31.-An the banks here
are open today. as usual regardless of
the holiday declaration of Governor Gill
lette. Business is being transacted as
usual and there were more people at the
receiving than at the paying windows
There is no expectation of disturbance and
the banks have ample funds to meet al
that may come.

Banks Making Loans.

Deposits have fallen off to some extent
in the smaller institutions. but the big
banks report normal inflow. The COM
mercial banks are making loans to regu-
lar customers, and no disposition on the
part of the depositors to take unusual
advantage of credit at this time is re
ported. The savings banks are generally
exercising discretion in honoring with
drawal applications. The checking out of
large amounts is discouraged alike by the
rule of notification and the fact that the
governor has instituted legal holidays.
Advices from all of the principal points
in California report the banks open and

About 100000 has been deposited by
New York banks today on account of

A Pest No Longer.

Rumor has it the Government ex-
perts are to give Cape Cod folks a
surprise by advising that the way to
end the plague of dogfsh is to bait
hooks, go out in boats, pull the var
minis from the briny deep, land the
catches, and-and eat 'eml This,
we are told, is the very simple solu-
ton which has presented itself to
the Investigators IF Woods Hole
after two years Of diligent and
more or less expensive investiga-
ton. No means having occurred to
the experts to coax the despised
fish to run away or die off, it was
necessary to find good and sufficient
reasons for their existence. Need
less TO say, the reasons have been
found
The Cape Codders who have been
making war on the dogfsh should
know that it is edible, if not really
delicious. Probably the flavor could
be improved with lemon or linn

ond cousin of the shark. and why.

Athletics in High Life.

While the English speak of the
bishop of London's winning of the
White House tennis championship
with all due seriousness, even sug-
costing a return match between
some of our bishops and the King
for the championship of BuclOing-
ham Palace, the French poke fun at
their President as one At only 70 be
head Of a fat mans club. Thus
wags one of the Partisan wits:
Can you imagine President Falieres
IN white trousers and flannel shirt, racket
IN hand, doing battle at tennis with a
bishop. II is humiliating for us that
our President has the look of a man who
would soon get ''winded," and who
would not make even & passable cham

the next presidential election a broad
backed, muscular heavyweight, strong
enough TO throw all the bishops in
Christendom.
Over here, despite President
Roosevelt's athletic attachments, we
are not looking forward to perpetu-
ating such international matches.
Secretary Taft's favorite game is
solitaire. Governor Hughes can
boast only of his mountain climb
ing. Mr.. Bryan has no sporting
propensity Of any description save
at the forbidding odds Of 10 TO 1.
Governor Johnson was a printer,
and couldn't take to sport without
Eeglecting his business. Therefore
the outlook is for no championship
games at the White House after

Housekeeping for the Poor.

Say Captain Kelly, Building In
spector Ashford, and Health Officer
Woodward. as the Board for the
Condemnation of Insanitary Build
ings:
Bad housekeeping is responsible for more
1nsanltat1On than any other one cause
a school of good housekeeping
within which to teach the ignorant how
properly to take care Of themselves and
their home would be Of more benefit
from a sociological point of view than
the literary and musical knowledge OBJ
tanned in connection with sO-Called edu-
cation that seems to produce too fire.
Queutly general aversion for anything
resembling hard work
In so far as this Judgment, based
upon personal contact with the
alley problem in Washington, re-
veals a study of underlying causes
it is heartily to be commended.
Merely destroying insanitary houses
win not cure the evil of insanitary
homes. The personal habits which
contribute to make dwellings I'M
healtbful must be reached and cor
rected.
But the means suggested is only
half remedy. Like the Inspector of
Plumbing-who undertook to prove
the need for baths in the schools by
discrediting gardening mem
beers of this commission weaken
their case by instituting wholly I'M
necessary comparisons. Gardening,
literature, and music need not be
condemned to prove the value of
swimming and housekeeping. More
over, in this latest instance, the re-
port takes no account of two primal
considerations:
That all the housekeeping the
course can now hold is now taught
the girl pupils in the graded schools.
And
That the problem ought to be
reached without the long wait for
those children to become mothers
of families; that is to say, by reach
ing the mature women whose i'm
providence, waste, negligence, and
ignorance are at this very moment
aggravating the difficulties this
board is organized to overcome.
