MOST GUILTY Ot ALL
 Us GEORGE A. PfTIIBONF
Says the Chief Prosecutor in Outlining the Case al Boise Yesterday.

Boise. Idaho, Dec. lO.-Charging that Pettibone is the most guilty of all those charged with causing the death of former Governor Steunenberg. James H. Hawley outlined the states case today. Little effort at oratory was made by the chief prosecutor but he plainly told the jury what it pro pssed to prove. For two hours he spoke of what he termed the most gigantic conspiracy in the annals of crime, always keeping in the fore ground the part which it is alleged Pettibone took.
 The taking of evidence began at the afternoon session and before the court adjourned the state had established the corpus delicti, clearing the way for Harry Orchard. who will tomorrow take the stand and for the second time tell the story of blood.
 Orchard was brought from the peni- tentiary this afternoon and will spend the night at the office of Hawley. Senator Borah who arrived from Washington during the night. conduct ed the examination of the states wit nesses this afternoon.

W0MAN'S PERSISTENCE
 Is BEARING FRUIT
Her Charges of Graft Have at Last Impressed the Federal Court.

Helena. Mont. Dec. 10.-Judge Hunt of the federal court today instructed the federal grand jury to make a com plete investigation into the charges of graft against certain officials in con- nectiOn with the Crow Indian reser- vation in this state.
 The action was taken in connection with the case of the government against Mrs. Gray. a newspaper wo- man of Chicago. held on the charge of being undu!y active among the Crow Indians. Mrs. Gray originally went to the reservation to report the opening of the ceded strip. and then remained. she said. to gather evidence in the graft cases which she placed before the department of the interior of Washington. Upon the presentation of her evidence. a special agent investi- gated the charges and completely eX- onerated the officials implicated. de- claring that the allegations were with out foundation.
 Upon her refusal to obey several or ders to leave the reservation Mrs. Gray was arrested on the charge of melting the Indians to mutiny. Her story to the grand jury so impressed Judge Hunt that he ordered a thorough in vestigatiOn by that body.

put of our mines and factories, valued at more than $1S,00O, ,O0O, ,O00.''
 The gold standard having been per manently established and properly es- tablished MT. Fowler proceeded on the subject of the proper reserve:
 Having adopted gold then as our standard of value. it is the touchstone of our credit; and it is only by bring Ing our credits into contact with gold that their value is proved. I assert. therefore, that there is not q dollar of money in the United States that is fit Tor reserve except the gold dollar.
 Tt has been suggested on the one hand that We allow the national banks 10 hold national bank notes as reserves and on the other hand, that We allow them to issue currency based upon bonds. other than government bonds.
 The argument is that the national bank note secured by a government bond is the same thing. and therefore as good as United States note; again. that other bonds are as good as Unit ed States bonds.
 The whole contention is founded upon a false assumption and that is that the United States note is in itself d proper reserve-which it is not. It is nothing but a demand obligation. and should have been honored by pay ment and retirement forty years ago, precisely as France and Japan honor ed and retired their demand obligations at the close Of their respective wars.
 Our United States notes are toler- ated as reserves because they are cur rently redeemed in gold coin by the government; not because of their in herent fitness for that purpose.
 The only proper reserve for any country to have is one coined out of its standard of value.
 Every United States note, every sil- yer dollar and every silver certificate in circulation. is a burden thrown upon the back of gold: and but for their current convertibility into gold would be at a heavy discount. Therefore, not one of them is inherently fit for re- serves.
 ''The privilege of issuing bank notes upon a practically unlimited number of bonds and then using the bank notes as reserve would drive every dollar of gold out of the country; and your standard of value would be cerdit and not gold. Your bank notes would again sell at a discount just as they did in 1862 when they brought E cents on the dollar or in 1864 when they sold for 8 cents on the dollar in gold coin.
 Let us settle once for all that the only proper reserve for our banks to hold is gold coin; and that we are most unfortunate in having to carry nf ri $500. 900 900 of silver. maintaining them upon parity with gold and thereby

HE LINGERS IN PRISON
Manager of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Co.
A More Hopeful View of rhe Conditions of the Broken Bank.

San Francisco, Dec. 10.-y. DalZell Brown, general manager of the sus- pended California Safe Deposit and Trust company. spent another day be- hind the bars of the city prison be- cause of his inability to obtain bond for SIS, 5,0OO on the charge of embezzele- ment. Brown was hopeful of release all day and confident that he would be a free man before night, but he was doomed to disappointment. Tonight the we'll groomed and suave banker again occupied his dingy cell surround ed by common felons and drunks.
 Brown was ready to talk upon the condition of the suspended bank over which he presided and which he still
 insists is solvent, but he became si- lent when the disappearance of the Colton estate securities was touched upon. He denied that President Walk CT had borrowed S75O.000 from the bank. This denial was cOrrobated by Bank Commissioner Lynch. who stated that Walker had to his credit si2.000 deposited in the bank.
 David F. Walker, the aged president of the company. accompanied by his wife. son, and daughter arrived to- night from Santa Barbara in the GUS tody of a detective of the local police department. His bond was submitted to the district attorneys office during
 the day by a surety company. After being booked at the prison he was eX- amined and released. The bank com missioner was in conference with At torney General Webb this afternoon. Beyond stating that the situation look ,ed more hopeful the commissioner de- clined to make known the purpose of the conference.
 Governor Gillett arrived from Sacra- menta and was to confer with the bank commissioner in regard to the
 bank and the general financial situa- tion of the state. but he was delayed until late. c. s. Cushin. special custo- dian of the company today commenced an examination of the affairs of the

4 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
 FOR CURRENCY REFORM
By Chairman Fowler of the House Com.
 mittee On Banking and Currency
His Project Does Ot Include Central Bank of Issue But Credit Currency More Quickly Responsive to the Varying Needs of Business.

Chicago, Dec. 1O.-Chairman Charles M. Fowler of the house committee on banking and currency today addressed a meeting of the Illinois Manufacturers Association. The address was notable in that it was the most complete expo sition yet offered of Mir. Fowler's Views on the present currency situation and the means of correcting existing de- fects.
 MT. Fowler introduced himself to his audience as a manufacturer and not as a banker. He had he said, years before, disposed of what bank stock he owned and had been >employing about 500 men in his manufacturing business, but he regretted that there were not so many at present His talk was therefore to be a heart to heart talk with manufacturers.
 The need of one part of the country was the need of all. There is, he said. no enemy's country anywhere in the United States though once a conspic- ious politician alluded 10 his visit to New York as an invasion of the "enemy's country
 Coming down to the subject of the currency, MT. Fowler said:
 Capital and Exchange.
 The financial condition or the Unit cd States is very similar to that throughout the world; because. from the standpoint of investment. capital the whole world over, is practically one.
 Let no one suppose that I am not aware that the Spanish-American war, the BOer war, the Baltimore fire, the Japanese Russian war, the San Francisco earthquake ana fire, the Chilian earthquake all combined con- stunning about s4.0OO, 900, ,000 of wealth. and the tremendous expansion in rail- way and trolley building and equip ment, in mine development and in the increase of manufacturing plants. had, by the first of the year. 1907. complete ly exhausted the investment fund of the world. and made large encroach- ments upon the commercial fund.
 -'On the other hand, gentlemen. mark this difference-the commercial condition in the United States is very dissimilar from that to be found any where else in the world so far as know. because no other country has so poor a mechanism of exchange as We have. So far as I can judge no such condition could exist anywhere else in the world except here, and am convinced that if We had such a system of currency as Canada or France now has, the currency panic of 1907 would never have occurred and we should never have been conscious of the fact that we were handling agri- cultural products worth more than ST. O00.O00,0O0 in connection with the out

reserves. Let us not forget that both our silver and United States notes are serious stumbling blocks. though not ins1rmountable obstacles to our be- coming the financial center of the world. provided they may be practical ly eliminated in time from our finan- cial calculations"
 No Need of Central Bank.
 On the subject of the much mooted central bank. Mir Fowler believed it was not essential and was moreover an impossibility at the present time. Said he:
 Undoubtedly there are some here who may expect or desire to hear what I think upon this subject Therefore, l shall frankly express myself upon its various phases.
 First. A great central bank is in my opinion a political imposslbility at present.
 'I am confident that if one were possible there is no such genuine knowledge in this country of the var ious aspects of the subjects involved as would justify any right, proper ol adequate conception of a central bank that would meet the present needs, to say nothing of anticipating the com mercial development of the country during the next thirty years.
 The establishment of a central bank in 17S3 and again in 1877 was one thing; but the establishment of such an institution today would be vastly
