MORGAN URGES PEOPLE
NOT TO WITHDRAW FUNDS
Great Financier Says During Panic
Money is Most Needed-Wan
Street Calm.

New York, Oct. 26.-Calmness and
growing encouragement were the
dominant features OF the financial
situation today, with all the great
financial institutions intact after
having met the unpreced.i .inted de-
mands of last week.
With this signal demonstration ct
resisting powers by the banks came
tae adoption of new measures to pre-
vent any recurrence OF the\> acute
strain. The most important step was
the action of the Clearing House As
sociaticn in voting an issue OF certl-
fcates for the use Of the banks them
sel..cs in settling their DAY. .alances
at lie clearing house.
Plans were formulated to extend
the benefit of certificates to the rust
companies which are members Of the
clearing :louse association.
Another feature was the announce
msnt 5y the National City Bank Of
an engagement Sc s5.Gt),cO0 in gold
for import. In an Interview, j..
Pierpont Morgan said, 81 cannot
too strongly emphasize the import
ance of people realizing that the
greatest injury that can be done IS
the withdrawal Of funds from the
banks and boarding cash in the de-
post vaults, thus withdrawing the
supply Of capital which always Is
needed in such emergencies as this. "

Dives From Liner.
New York American.

new 1UIk AmcluCdA.
To save a mail sack that nad mad
vertently been dropped over the side
of the White Star steamship Oceanic,
in the transfer to the government
boat Postmaster General, Jack Cos
lin, an able-bodied British sailor, div
ed from the deck of the big liner,
seized the package and was hauled
aboard with it.
AS the Oceanic was moving at the
time, having left quarantine, and bhe
Postmaster General was dangling at
her side. the saving of the mail pouch
was a most hazardous enterprise.
Both propellers were grinding away,
and there was imminent danger OF
them striking the swimmer, but this
did not deter Goslin.
Without stopping to discard either
his coat or shoes, he div7d almost on
top Of the sack, and grasping it in
his teeth, swan toward the ship. A
life ring was thrown to him, and as
the ship slowed up he managed to
catch rope and was hauled on board.
The sack proved to contain mail from
Europe for Havana, and was Of con-
siderable value.
"Well," said Goslin when he was
told of this, "it might have ,been a
letter from my sweetheart, and I ann
clad went after it.

TELEPHONES IN JAPAN.
Government Owns the System That
is Managed Along Modern
Lines.

In Japan the telephone system IL
operated by the government. Tele-
phone, postal and telegraph service
are all under one mead, being con-
trolled by a group of officials who
form what is known as the Depart
ment of Communications. Although
this department has had only few
years in which to build up the tele-
phone service, it has made such pro-
gress as to put the Japanese system
in a condition which makes 1t so
much superior to others in the East
that it is not for a moment to be COM
pared with them. In fact, the jap
anese telephone may have adopted
many ideas in connection with the
building and operation. Of 6helr
plants which show tnat they could
give valuabls pointers to mnay Euro
peans in charge Of telephone systems
under government control. /
|. Their progressiveness, for example,
in the use of telephone to aid in army
maneuvers is known to the whole
world. It is acknowledged every
where that in the late war with Rus
sia they developed field telephone
service to a point of greater efficiency
chan has been reached by any other
army.
Toxic has, as would be expected,
the largest telephone system OF any
Of the Japanese cities, and the gener-
al features Of construction and opera
ton there SOON to be typical Of the
practice throughout the country.
Out of the population Of nearly
million people about $4,000 are SUBJ
scribers for telephone service. The
lines are divided between five Offices.
The rates are 66 yen (about 33), for
either business or residence stations.
All lines are individual, party line
service being esteemed unsatisfae-
tory. ...
Cleanliness is the most noteworthy
thing which impresses itself upon
visitor to one of these central offices.
The reason for the absence Of dust is
made apparent to the stranger by the
request that ne shall remove his boots
before entering, wbiehlis eeurteously
made at the DOOR Although a pfr
Of slippers IS provided as substi-
tute for the foot covering worn out
of doors, the shape Of these shoes Is
50 peculiar that the writer has in some
instances found it more convenient
to walk in MS stocking feet. The
advantage Of this Oriental custom Of
removing the shoes before walking
upon the floor of a room is shown
clearly enough by the results. The
Japanese Offices are by long odds the
neatest tho writer has ever been In,
in any part Of the world.
All the operators are girls. The end
less succession Of challenges, man
ban" (number) is spoken in a we'll
modulated tone Of voice, and all calls
seem to be answered very promptly.

NEW QUESTION RAISED.
Notification Of County Board NO"
Comes Up-Doubt as to
Law.

The State. .
The decision Of the state board oI
canvassers in reversing the action OF
the Chesterfield county election COM
misioners and declaring the d1spen-
sarv election in Chesterfield legal
has raised new point as to the status
of the counties where daspensar1es
are voted out.
It will be recalled that by q very
large majority the diSpensanes were
voted out of Chesterfield and the
county board Of eanvassers declared
the election illegal.
This action by the county ooafo
was taken because of alleged lrresll-
larities on the part Of the voters. II
was claimed that many were allowed
to vote without registration certlt1-
Gates, and that in one precinct any
white man was allowed to vote with
ont the restrictions around even pr1-
rraries and that in the Chesterfield
precinet the election was held In the
co7,rt house without any ratings
around the boxes and that IN Ofe
meantine religious services were held
IN the same room; thus, it is alleged,
violating the secrecy of the ballot and
influencing those who voted.
The state board discarded much OF
the red tape in reaching their de-
cision. They investigated conditions
at every box and ruled that where
boxes had been affected so greatly as
TO invalidate the election they should
he thrown out. As result the cleo
tion ait six boxes was approved, only
three votes in these boxes being llle-
sal and the result showed AL against
the dispensary and 20 for it.
The point, however, is the enforce
mant of section 35 of the Carey
Cotnran law, which reads:
"Section 35. In the event toat
ai<pensary be established under the
provisions Of this act in any county,
and thereafter an election be held
hereunder resulting in the dasestao-
lishnent of the same, the county d1s-
pensary board in such county snaa1
Immediately close the dnspensa1Aes
therein, dispose Of the stock on mana
for cash to some other county DIS
pensary board or to purchasers OUT
side of this state, apply the proceeds
thereof, with any other assets, to the
uayment cf outstanding obligations
and divide the net proceeds as hereln-
before provided for dispensary pro-
fts.' ,.
It is a question now as to the nota-
6oation Of the closing OF the dlspen'
saries., The general law does not pro-
vide a way and the Oarey-Cothran.
Law provides that should the dlspen-
saries be voted out they should De
closed at once.
The announcement that an appeal
will he made to the supreme court
does not affect the decision OF the
state board of canvassers and should
an official notice be sent, the county
dispensary board of Caesterheld
wo1,ld DE liable to indictment should
the dispensaries remain open. Inc
lack of a specific law on the SUBJECT
Will probably be remedied at the next
session Of the general assembly.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
 10 ANSWER TO BOARD
Prot. RauthrauH of Tucson Charged With the Use of Unauthorized Text Books.

A novel and interesting case was set to come before the territorial board Of education today, the first of the kind in the education history of this terr- tory. Professor Rauthrauff, superin- tendent of the schools of Tucson, was 10 be tried on charge of non-compli- ance with the school laws of the terri tory in causing to be issued in the schools text books not authorized by the board and in failing to use those which had been authorized. But on account of the inability of Professor Isauthrauff to be present the hearing was continued to a date not yet fixed.
 The charge has been made by the Tucson chool board and it was investi- gated by Superintendent Long about q week ago. Professor Rauthrauff hal admitted the use of the books as charg- ed and the teachers of the schools who were questioned by the territorial sup erintendent said that the books in their department were used by them under instruction from Professor Rauthrauff.
 Professor Rauthrauff may be able to present extenuating circumstances which will be satisfactory to the board, otherwise under the direction of the law, there will be nothing to do but order the revocation of his certificate
 This is not the first trouble Tucson has had over the school book question. The government has brought suit un- der the Sherman law against the book sellers of the town in which they are charged with having formed a combi nation in restraint of trade and the charging of eXorbitant prices, far in excess of the contract price agreed to with the territorial board at the time of entering into the contract for the use of the books.
