S. Taylor, who was governor of Ken
lucky at the time of the assassination
of Governor Elect William Goebel seven
years ago, offers to return to Kentucky
as a witness In the Powers case if
given certain guarantees.
Political feeling ran so high in Ken

lor, who was a republican, sought re-
fuge in Indiana Immediately after his
term expired.
He was accused of having part in
the conspiracy TO murder Goebel and
indicted Successfully the republican

upon them for his arrest.

Last night Taylor replied in a signed
statement, which he says is the first
public statement he has made since
leaving his native state. He says:
For more than seven years I have

Cortelyou Adopts Measures
for Making Government
Deposits Each Week.
AID TO CROP MOVING
Method Expected To Be More Efiea.
cious Than Old System of Relief
at Last Minute.

New York, August 23.-To afford re-
lief to the money market for the crop
moving period, Secretary of the Treas
ury Cortelyou today announced a new
plan of depositing government funds
in the leading cities of the country.
The new plan is TO deposit each week
and is effective next week.
Secretary Cortelyou believes his plan
will prove more effective than the old
method when the treasury waited until
the country was severity shaken finan-
cially and then acted at the last mo-
ment by placing a large deposit in
New York banks. The amount of de-
posits may not be made public, al
though they will be adequate to meet
the situation. also is expected to put
check on gold exports.
Announcement of Plan.
! The plan was made known in the
following official statement:
Secretary Cortelyou announced to-
day that beginning with next week the
treasury department will make each
week for a period of not less than five
weeks deposits in national banks at
New York, Boston and other points, and
security required to be approved state
|
able under the existing requirements
of the department, with the under
standing that if called for such de-
posits shall be returned after Jan. /
instalIments to be fixed by the secre-
! tary of the treasury.
This action is taken to meet the
commercial and industrial needs of the
country at this season, and is believed
4 n
time of acute stringency, when the only
alternative would be a large general
deposit. The latter policy the secre-
tary desires to supersede by one which
shall have as its ultimate object the ad-
iustment of the operations Of the
treasury department as rapidly as may
be practicable under existing law. IL
such manner as shall preclude theil

SECRECY IS A FAILURE
At Conference Yesterday Sailing An

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 23.-(Spe-
ciaL) 1.-THE Atlantic battleship fleet
will start for the Pacific next Deem
Der, according to an official statement
issued tonight by Secretary Loeb at the
direction of President Roosevelt. The
statement was made following a con-
ference this afternoon between the pre-
sident and representatives of the navy
department. 1t follows:
"A conference this afternoon between
President Roosevelt Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, Newberry. Rear Ad-
miral Brownson, chief of the bureau of
navigation, and Rear Admiral Evans.
commander of the Atlantic fleet, was
held to decide some of the details in
connection with the fleets going to the
Pacific,
Sixteen BattIeships Going.
The fleet will consist of sixteen bat
tleships and will start some time in
December going through the straits
Of Magellan and up to San Francisco.
and probably will visit Puget sound
The question has not yet been decided.
The destroyer flotflla will leave for
the Pacific about the same time as the
fleet, but will not accompany it."
The officials who attended the con-
ference refused to tell the object of
their visit on their arrival here. Sec
| rotary Newberry and Rear Admiral
Brownson came early and went at once
! to Sycamore hill. They would not be
/ interviewed. Admiral Evans got in lat
er. When he got notification to join
the conference he was fifty miles off
the Chesapeake Capes. on his flagship
the Connecticut, which is maneuvering
with the First and Second divisions OF
the Atlantic fleet.
Evans Answer Is Emphatic.
What are you here for?" someone
asked the admiral.

that they would see him later, to which
he replied Not if I see you first"

VIII Depend on Bureau.

Secretary Cortelyou will depend
much upon the bureau, recently es-
tablished in the treasury department.
to inform him where stringencies are
being felt most In this way the funds
Of the government will be deposited
where they will effect the greatest
benefit. Secretary Cortelyou believes
that by not announcing in advance the
amounts to be deposited he will pre-
vent spectators from taking advant-
age of the situation and obtaining
money which he believes should go into
other channels.
In adopting this plan the secretary
gave careful consideration to the ques-
ton of gold exports, and he is of the
opinion that the present measure OF
relief will do much to prevent a move
ment of gold to Europe. In previous
years the sudden outpouring of money
from the national treasury when g
crop moving stringency was absorbing
all available funds produced COLE
export movement possible by the VOL
ence of the reaction.
Notwithstanding a heavy demand fol-
the $30,000,000 Panama bonds, which
are still unissued, the secretary de
clines to place them on sale at thi:
time, as the government does not neeC
the money, and their purchase by the
banks and public would tie up addi
tional millions at a time when The
money is most needed elsewhere.

Method Is secretary's own.

Secretary Cortelyou's plan is all his
own. and he consulted with no one re-
garding It. He has made a careful
study of the crop moving stringency.
and, after a mature consideration Of
the question, he believed that the in
terests OF the business world would be
best conserved in the next few months
by the depositing of government funds
at various points throughout the coun-
try each week. and in amounts large
enough to ease a Tightening money
market.
Investigation of the results attained
under the old treasury plan of waiting
until the last moment and then plac-
ing large single amount of govern
ment funds in New York, disclosed
that, as rule, the placing of a large
amount of money. while it really helped
was generally i'll timed, and either
Will place government funds in amounts
large enough to meet the situation.
For this purpose he may use all custom
funds, which he is permitted to do
under the Aldrich act. and, if these
funds are not sufficient, he Will aug
ment from the available treasury bal
ance, which increases each week after
the usual July deficit
