| Washington, Nov. S.-There is a not

ment in the handling of securities of

! ed as security for additional circula-
| tfon-~Fhe correspondence on the sub
| ject is almost unprecedented, and al
though the officials apply themselves
unremittingly to the work until late
at night the volume of work increases
rather than diminishes. The number
of additional bank notes being issued
is rapidly increasing, and the treasury
officials are greatly encouraged in the
belief that the crisis in the money
stringency has passed and that grad
existed for three weeks may be conf

At the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting today Secretary CoFtelyou
stated that discussion of the financial
situation occupied an important place
during the session, that the treasury
department is doing everything in its
power to relieve the situation, and
that conditions seem to be improving.

A RECORD BREAKING TRIP
WITH MILLIONS OF GOLD

New York, Nov S.-The marvellous
record established less than a month
ago by the giant Cunarder Lusitania,
when she cut several hours from the
passage time across the Atlantic, was
broken by the same vessel in a trip
completed early this morning. Incl
dentally, several new records were
made These include the best days
run of 61S knots, an average of more
than 500 knots for every full day, and
an average hourly speed of "a knots
for the full 2,7S1 miles. On the last
voyage the Lusitania covered the dis
tance in four days, 10 hours and 50
minutes. The voyage ended today was
completed in four days, Is hours and
IA minutes. This was done under wea-
ther conditions far from favorable.
The Lusitania brought over nearly
$4,000, 900 in gold, more than a quar-
ter of the immense total which has
been engaged abroad by American
bankers since the present movement
began. This gold was transferred to
the consignees and then added to the
country's average circulation.

The Elks' Carnival closed at eleven
O'Clock last night after three nights
of fun and frolic. Although there were
many adverse circumstances, the car,
nival was a financial success this
year, more so than the management
| had anticipated. The total receipts
were about 81 800 for the three nights.
Last year the total receipts were
$2,7O for four nights, and on that oc-
casion the expenses were enormous,
amounting to about $4,000 This year
the expenses were much less, and the
more than they did last year. 1t will
be a week before all claims are ad-
justed and the amount cleared can
be learned.
The rattle of the big prizes was the
interesting event of the close of the
carnival. The chances were all sold
last night and the rattle was conduct
ed at one of the banks today and H.
p. Saunders was the person To draw
the lucky numbers from the hat. Nc.
of this number has not yet claimed
his gift. No. Is won the mans suit
and was held by l.. A. -Craxton, of
the Roswell Drug Store. No. 9 won
the ladys suit, and Miss Lois Court
ney, booll-keeper at the First National
Bank, held the number. No. so wins
the Navajo rug, and has not been
claimed. No. 25 won the gas range,
and Ed Calfee has brought forward
the right number. Last night the re-
unsold chances on the big
prizes were sold at aiSetion, as many
as SO chances being in one lot, but
to say, none of the buyers at
the auction have thus far won any
thing.
Miss Laura Hedgcoxe was voted
3O3 votes in the contest, and
was given a beautiful FURNISHED cop
per five o'clock tea" Miss Irma Tot
eek was a close second.
In the rattle at the wheel Wednes- |
day night H. P. Hobson won the shot |
gun, James Sutherland won one large
chair, and R. l.. Graves won the 9th |
er. Many other prizes of less value. i
but very acceptable, were won by va |
rious persons during the three nights. |
There were no serious accidents at |
the carnival, although a clown sat |
down in a baby buggy when the child |
Of Mr.. and Mrs. James Kennedy was
in it, and broke the buggy down with |
out hurting the baby.

Football Team Going to Ell Paso.

An effort is being made to get a
special train to take the Military In
stitute football players, as well as
many citizens, to Ell Paso to spend
Thanksgiving Day. 1t may be that a
train will leave here Wednesday
night, Nov. p. and go straight thru
to Ell Paso, reaching there early on
Thursday morning; spend the day in
visiting Ell Paso, Juarez, and of course
the game, then back to Roswell on
Thanksgiving night This would not
cause any loss of business time, as
everything closes on Thanksgiving
Day. The railroad has offered a rate
of one fare plus 81 for the round trip,
but it is hoped that they may yet be
prevailed upon to cut the price to
$40 for the round trip. Could this be
done it is estimated that from $50 to
200 citizens, besides the cadets and
officers, would take advantage of the
cheap rate to visit Old Mexico.

New York, Nov. s.-The advance
in the discount rate of the Imperial
Bank of Germany from 612 to71a pei
cent, announced today, is further evi-
dence of the determination of Euro
pean money centers to protect their
gold against depletion by the United
States. The rate is the highest the
German bank has ever had.

already placed in Europe approximate
$4O,000,O ,O00 so the increase of the for
