TALKED FOR WYOMING BANKS
Senator Warren Called Upon Secre-
tary Cortelyou Regarding Plac-
ing of Currency.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator War
ren called upon Secretary Cortelyou
today in the interest of several Wyo-
ming national banks, the officers Of
which wish to subscribe to the new
Panama bonds, or purchase certificates
to be issued by the treasury. Senator
Warren told the secretary that the
west should be given larger deposits in
government money, stating TO him that
western banks are not only solvent, but
are ready to furnish currency to their
patrons and to do business as usual as
soon as eastern banks should resume
and therefore relieve the danger Of
having currency drawn eastward from
the western banks. The situation be-
ing that while the eastern banks have
no reserves in the west, western banks
have nearly all of theirs in the east,
and are therefore entitled not only to
be permitted to make their Femittances
to the east in exchange, but to have at
least some portion of their reserves
sent west in currency.
Secretary COrtelyOU expressed his de-
sire and intention to deposit in the west
currency for nearly all of the amount
subscribed for new bonds and certifi-
Gates by western banks, and to help
otherwise as much as POSSIBLE in turn
ing the tide of the currency westward.
He told Mr.. Warren that he believed
financial matters all the way from New
York west would brighten in a very
short time, because of the work already
done and being done to improve the
general situation.
Senator Dixon of Montana, who
called on Secretary COrtelyou in behalf
of Montana banks, received practically
the same assurances

Smith CLEARED BY JURY
Good Fortune of the Goldfield As
sayer Tried for Having Stolen
Ore in His Possession.
Especial to The Herald.

Goldfield, New, Nov. 23.-After fiji
teen hours elaboration the jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty in
the case of NJ. J. smith, a local as
sayer, who was arrested and charged
with having stolen ore in his posses
sion. Smith was arrested June "a and
his assay office was searched and ore
precipitates to the value OF $4,000 were
seized by the officers. The prosecution
made d comparatively clear case as to
the ore not having come into Smith s
possession in a regular manner, but
failed to prove to the satisfaction of
the Jury that it was taken from the
Florence mine, as alleged. A replevin
suit has been filed for the recovery of
the ore by the GOldfield-MOhawk Min
ing company, to which was assigned
the interests Of the Florence Mining
company and the Little Florence Leas-
ing company. The three trunks con-
tanning ore from the Little Florence,
which We're captured in Salt Lake, are
at the offices of the Consolidated COM
pany and will probably be turned over
to the Florence unless a claimant ap-
pears, which is extremely unlikely.

BIG MONEY IN SPORTS.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Nov. 25.-The
athletic treasury of the University of
Minnesota has benefited by the four
football games on Northrop field this
fall to the amount of S4S,733. According
to the estimates of the treasury, the
athletic association will show a surplus
of about SOS. 900 on Jan. 1. Football has
been the only branch of athletics that
has paid well, and some of the others
have run very near the margin. There
was a surplus of $4,000 on hand the
first of the year, the result of several
years saving, and that amount will be
nearly doubled this season.

nal" Mrs. Wells told the bishop that
the young couple contemplated passing
the winter at Los Angeles.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs. Wells went to Logan where

ago on the charge of performing a
criminal operation. When court opened
in Logan yesterday, the attorneys for
Wells entered a motion for a new trial.

Dor in the state penitentiary was then

MOVEMENT OF WHEAT
AGAIN NEARLY NORMAL

Minneapolis, Nov. 23.-County eleva-
tor managers are reporting to the Min
neapolis grain firms that the move
ment of crops is again nearly normal.
Farmers are bringing in their grain
and the scarcity caused by the recent
Tightening of the currency appears to
be wearing off. Some of the farmers
have also been induced to sell during
the past few days by the drop in
prices.
The result is a return to activity
among the elevators throughout Min
nesota and North Dakota.

DEMAND REAL MONEY.
GoidfieId Miners Decide Against Ac-
ceptlng Cashiers Checks.
Especial to The Herald.)

Goldfield, New, Nov. 23.-The Miners
union is reported to have voted against
accepting cashiers checks in payment
of wages and may vote Monday to
strike. A meeting was held yesterday
at which the matter was discussed
and the men seemed disposed to quit
work unless paid in money. The scrip
rendered them is issued by the banking
house of the John S. Cook company,
through which all ore to the shelters
from both the samplers is consigned.
The mine owners have explained TO the
men that they are unable to get cur
rency to meet the payrolls. Under
present conditions the operators are
not particularly anxious to continue
operations, as the smelteTs have re-
fused to accept anything more than a
limited tonnage of the highest grade
ores.

Condition Serious.
Groves, who was shot in the fieshy
part of the hip, is in a serious condition
tonight The surgeons fear blood
poisoning may result from the fact
that the bullet carried with it into the
wound particles of foreign matter from
the cloth of his suit. Owing to the
nervous condition of the patient, the
surgeons will make no effort until to-
morrow to remove the bullet, which is
lodged in the muscles of the back.
Friends of General Horne tonight

the threatening manner assumed by
Woodward and Groves when they en-
tered Horne's presence. These friends
say that Groves and Woodward greet
ed Horne with abuse, and threatened
him with violence before he used his
pistol.

Confident Feeling Prevails.

A feeling of confidence in the sue
cess of the new loans seemed TO pre-
vail at the treasury today and was ap-
parently heightened by the assurances
given by Mr.. Morgan of the improve
ment in the situation in New York.
The strong rally in the stock market
and the loss of less than One-haif mil
lion III the required reserves in New
York banks strengthened the feeling
that confidence was returning and that
it would be reflected in the offers for
the new securities received during the
week. The visit of Mr. Morgan was
generally accepted among bankers here
to mean that leading bankers in New
York intend to operate with the treas
ury department in making a success OF
the new loans.

POPS SHOW SIGNS
OF AN ERUPTION
National Committee Will Get
Together at St. Louis on
Nov. 26 for Conference.

Joliet, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-The Populist ma
tional -eemmittes-WiIl- have a confer
ence at St. Louis Nov 26, at the Hotel
St James. In addition to members of
the national committee, friends and ad-
visers have been called in and the
meeting may result in the fixing of a
time and place for holding the conven-
ton of 1903 and the denomination of
Tom Watson of Georgia.
National Chairman James H. Ferriss
of Joliet said today:
"The meeting is timely. for in a
measure our party is calamity party,
but really calamity is not the motive
this time. The POpulists are pleased
with the trend of public sentiment, for
the people were never more patriotic
in time of war than in this financial
crisis. Best of ALL the government is
with us for the first time in any re-
membrance on a like occasion.
Bryan Hits Keynote.
"By the way, Mr.. Bryan has hit the
keynote. Let the government guaran-
! tee the bank deposits. 1t is easy as
guaranteeing the bank notes, and quite
| inexpensive. A tax on the bank de-
posts of less than one-half of 1 per
cent in one year would pay all the
losses from national banks since they
were organized.
1.-The government should issue circu-
| lating notes direct and attend to the
| elastic feature automatically or other
wise. In short, the government should
go a little farther into the banking
| business, as other governments do, and
| the banks should recede a little from
government business"
Mr. Ferriss denied that an alliance
was being arranged with the Hearst
independence League or Prohibition
| lists. but he added:
Pops in High Feather.
1--WE feel, individually, as friendly to
either as we do to Bryan or Roosevelt
We are pleased that they are going ou1
way, and would be more pleased if they
would go farther. All of our planks
led in public discussion when our cal
was issued. Now comes the financial
issues, the keystone of our party struc-
ture, and on this the Poputst idea is
the best. 1 think you will see an adj
dress sent out from the ST. Louis meet
ing respectful, sensible and to the
/ point"

Attention to Morgan.

Mr.. Morgan'S views and advice nave
commanded much attention, because OF
his detachment in A large measure
from recent speculative banking enter
prises in New York, and the breadth of
view which his friends declare he has
always brought to conditions like the
present. Mr.. Morgan has long favored
some modification of the existing cur
rency system. but has not undertaken
to prepare any detailed plan of his own
He found Secretary COrtelyOu in accord
with him that several steps should be
taken to give greater elasticity TO cir-
culation and to restore confidence, but
did not insist strongly upon any one
of the several measures which are now
under discussion
The assurances brought by Mr.. Nor
gan In regard to the Improvement in
conditions in New York, with the sub
scriptions which are still calling for
new loans, encourage the belief here
that the corner has been turned in the
monetary situation and that the banks
throughout the country viii soon agree
to resume currency payments without
restrictions. The enormous amount of
gold which has arrived or been en-
gagged is felt to be rather more than
sufficient to restore the New York
bank reserves to a point of safety, and
it is believed that after the opening
of the bids for the Panama bonds the
situation viii be such that further gold
imports will not be required.
