FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
WORKED INTO CARDBOARD

Chicago, April 3.-Fourteen million
dollars was worked over into cardboard
in Chicago this week, and scarcely any
one outside of a few bank officials and
employees was bit wiser No one lost
anything by 1t.
The amount represented clearing
house certificates that had survived
their day of usefulness. They We're
retired the first of the year, and with
the passing of the emergency that
called them into existence, they had
been almost forgotten.
Half of the huge amount consisted of
certificates outstanding and 1t may be
years before all will be presented for
emption-prObably many are held
for souvenirs. The other 100000 rep
resented certificates that had been
printed but had not been signed.
Guarded by IA men, the certificates
We're taken in a bank wagon from the
clearing house to a cardboard factory
In North Water street, where they
We're reduced to a pulp.

ALDR|CH BILL
IS CONDEMNED
ueuburn Of Chase Natl Bank
saws Some Provisions Are So
oiaIistic and Communistic.
CHICAGO BANKERS ADVERSE.

Nav York, April 2.--None of the cur

I'm the exception of the Lowering bill,
,,hich provides for the appointment of
4 commission to investigate the cur
rorcy and banking systems of the Unit

Tnrma decision TO this effect was
,,,rde today when the chamber aopted
Inc report of its special committee APP
monte at the March meeting of the
hody to investigate and report upon
the pending legislation.
II is the belief of the committee, as
sxnressed in its report, that there is lit
III chance of any currency legislation
being enacte at the present session or
the Congress-
MEASURE which would 'provie a highly
,ayed emergency currency" and the
Towler bill as one which would "oper'
ats TO bring about immediate instead

notes the committee says they are
60 antagonistic TO each other that
comprehensive currency legislation at
nm early date does not seem probable.
.This circumstances points unmis-
takably to the imperative need of fur
ther celebration says the report, to
Ee discussion of principles and meth
obs BY which such principles may be
applied to meet the countiy's needs"
The committee report, which was
adopted by the chamber of commerce,
recommends the enactment OF law pro-
yIding for the appointment of COM
mission to Investigate the currency
and banking systems of the United
States and other leading commercial
nations, and to report such measure las
may be found necessary to place our
currency and banking system ON a
sound basis. which is absolutely essen
tal for the permanent welfare and
progress of the country
During thhe discussion which pre-
ceded the adoption of the currency
committees report, A. b. Hepburn.
president of the Chase National bank
and chairman of the executive commit
tee OF the chamber. made a spirited at
tack on the Aldrich bill.
III looks as IL the president and the

CHICAGO BANKERS OPINION.
Chicago, April AIT n meeting of
the representatives of the national
banks doing business In this city. held
Yesterday, resolutions were unanimous
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1908-04-03

~ adopted expressing their views re-
garulng the Aldrich currency bill. To-
day they were signed by every member
OF the Chicago clearing house and given
out.
The resolutions are in substance as
follows.
That the transfer OF nearly 5000,
100000 from the liquid reserves OF the
banks. where II is available for loans,
TO an Idle fund. on which the banks
are forbidden under any circumstances
TO encroach. Will seriously impair the
working capital of the country.
That the true method of dealing with
q crisis Is by providing means for read
lily increasing the supply of currency
when 1t is needed rather than by lock-
Ing up continuously and permanently
an unnecessary proportion of the coun-
try's banking capital.
That the substitution of bonds In the
vaults of country banks for balances
in the reserve and central reserve cities
will not promote safety
That there is no objection to tho pro-
hibition of loans to bank officers but
there is serious objection to such pro-
hlbition against directors and com
panies in which directors are interest
ed.
That the restrictions will affect the
institutions OF the national banking
system unfavorably In their competi-
ton with state banks and trust com
panies. which already have more lati-
tude in the character of business they
are allowed to do, and in most of the
states the requirements upon them az
to reserves are less than those to which
national banks are now obliged to con-
form.
THAT as the Aldrich bill is avowedly a
measure for temporary use only, to
bridge over until comprehensive and
final system is determined upon, no
changes in the existing system which
viii seriously disturb present conditions
should be included in its provisions
The regulations of the national banking
system as to the reserves against de-
posts have stood since the system was
established, the business of the bank
is adjusted to them, and the credits
of the country are adjusted to them,
II the banks must prepare to DO
business under theh proposed regula-
tons after Jan. /, 1909. there can be
no expansion of loans meantime, even
for crop moving purposes next fall
but further liquidation will be requir-
ed an dserious consequences may en-
sue.
A temporary measure should not con-
tain harmful innovations, which in q
final treatment of the subject may
prove to be unnecessary and unless
they can be eliminated 1t will be better
to have mo legislation until che whole
subject can be referred to n commits
sion for inquiry and report, which we
believe would be the most practicable
disposition of 1t.

Capt. Ejnar MikkeIsen Returns
With Some Very Valu-
able Information.
AN INDEPENDENT CONTINENT
IF Land Lies Beyond the Beaufort
Sea, IL Is One-Thnt Sea of
Great Depth.

Seattle, Wash. April s.-Capt
Einar Mikkelsen, who Jointly COM
manded the Anglo-polar expedition
which sought to find nm undiscovered
continent in the Beaufort sea, arrived
from the north yesterday Capt
Mikkelsen's vessel, the Duchess Of
Bedford, was lost in an ice pack near
Flaxman island a. year ago.
Ernest de Kover Leffingwell, who.
with Capt. Mikkelsen commanded the
expedition, remained at Flaxman
island to continue his scientific work.
Capt. Mikkelsen started Oct 1s from
FlaXman island and made the Journey
along the northern shores of Alaska
to Nome, arriving at the latter place
Jan. 3. He left Nome with COM
ranion Jan. is, and journeyed with
dog sleds up the Yukon river to
Fort Gibbon, and came out by way Of
Fairbanks and Valdez.
THE CONTINENTAL SHELF.
Capt. Mlkkelsen's expedition traced
the continental shelf in the Beaufort
sea and ascertained that II land lies
beyond the sea, It is an independent
continent. He has obtained informa-
ton concerning currents which will be
invaluable to him when he makes his
next attempt to attain the unknown
continent
Capt. MilSkelsen made use of a new
idea in polar travel by which he was
able to save 90 pounds weight on his
sledges In the tedious march ovcr
the ice hummocks, the party frequently
came upon water. Capt. Mikkelsen
lad none of the native kayaks Of
which DIR. Nansen made such good
use, but instead he made his boats
when the occasion arose. He strap
ped a waterproof :arpaulin beneath
his sledges and improvised a raft
which fioated.
UNEMPLOYED SEA.
The sledge expedition went further
into the unexplored Beaufort sea than
had been planned by the Royal Geo.
graphical society of London, and the
American Geographical society of New
York, which directed the expedition.
They found the continental shelf and
had learned that beyond this shelf
there was water of great depth. 1t
was ascertained that the Beaufort sea
was not a shallow basin as had been
supposed, The journey north was
approximately along the one hundred
and forty-ninth meridian. Soundings
We're taken occasionally. At a dis
lance of GA miles from land, they were
unable to touch bottom with q 800
fathom line. This indicated that the
continental shelf had been passed and
one of their objects had been accomp-
lished. They continued the journey
until they crossed the seventy-second
parallel, when the ice conditions pre-
vented further travel. The return
journey was made under the most
trying conditions. They landed neal
