WANTS LESS PENALTY
Comptroller of Currency Favors New
Method Of Dealing With Bankers
Who Violate Laws-WouId Prevent
Closing Of Banks.

Washington, Dec. 4. Defects in
methods of bank examinations and the
inability Of the comptroller of the cur
rency to deal with attractions of the
banking laws without resorting to such
harsh punishment as the closing Of the
offending national banks. were pointed
out to the national monetary commits
sion by high officials of the treasury
department Interested listeners were
officers, members of the legislative
committee. and prominent members Of
the American Bankers association,
who will be given an opportunity later
to approve or disapprove of the sug-
gestions for amending the laws gov
erning administrative features of bank
ing.
Any general revision Of the national
banking laws is not contemplated by
the present hearings. Such changes as
will he recommended in all probability
will be confined to amendments which
can be made without friction between
bankers aid officials charged with the
enforcement of the national banking
laws. In other words it is the inten-
ton Of the national commission to re-
port to the coming session Of cong
ress amendments which practically all
interested persons will agree are need
ed to correct faults in the laws gov
erning the conduct Of national banks,
but it is not intended to provide for
any general revision Of the laws in adj
vance of the full report Of the COM
mission, which will not be made until
the first regular session of the Sixty
First congress.
No contest over the currency system
or banking laws will be precipitated
upon the present congress in the short
session. Suggestions of changes Of the
present laws which meet with opposi-
ton Of character that makes their
enactment doubtful will be rejected by
the commission, and will be considered
later when the whole currency prob
lem is taken up. 1t is believed, how
ever, that there is substantial agree
ment between treasury officials and
bankers that the methods of bank ex-
animation should he revised.

TO STUDY CRIMINAL CLASSES.
Suggestion Is Made to Establish City
Laboratory at Burlington.

Burlington, Dec. 4.-Mayor Inter
kircher has received letter from Ar
thur Mcdonald, an authority on Grim
inal anthropology and kindred sciences.
suggesting the establishment of a city
laboratory to study the criminal and
weakling classes. The mayor has not
had time 10 give the matter much con-
sideration. but it may be taken UP by
the committee of the whole. the police
commissioners. or the board Of health,
all of whom ought to be interested in
the purposes of the movement. He en-
closes copy of a bill. which provides
for the establishment of such labora-
tories and of a bureau controlling the
same.
The main purpose Of this bill is to
study the causes of crime, pauperism,
! alcoholism. effectiveness, degeneracy.
and other forms of abnormality. with a
view to lessening or preventing them.
I 1t is assumed that every citizen is in
terested in the purpose of such q bill.
In addition to this general scope OF
the bill there are some other direct
ends which eventually the bill is ex
pected to accomplish.

mines of the defendant company

in the Mineral City mine. His duties
were to load cars into the cages ana

shaft to have the same raised to the
ground. In May, 1906, while thus en-
ployed he was caught under descend

the plaintiff. who is represented by
Attorney Martin, of Lincoln. Neb., and
d. NJ Kelleher of TT. Dodge.
The defense claims the accident was
entirely due to the negligence OF the
deceased in that he walked under the
cage while the same was. descending
contrary to the rules of the mine. and
without making any effort to signal
the man at the top of the shaft and
to ascertain where the cage was at
the time he started to cross the shaft.

The undaunted lover hired an auto
school, and about o'clock both were
spinning into the town proper Where
they went, or whether or not they were
married, is not known, but this was the
evident intention of the twain.
1t was the first elopement in the
schools history. Twin has been at the
school for twelve years, but was not a
graduate. He is professional base
ball player, and when he came here at
the end Of the season he asked Super
intenden'. Friedman for the hand of
Lystia, hut the superintendent sug-
gested that Joseph wait until he was
better able to keep a wife

owned by him in the west and which
he sold. Twin severed his connection
with the school some time ago. His
flance is student here and whether
the authorities intend to bring her back

deed there are some who say that
rather than being problematicai con-
sequences, they constitute the real
motives behind the appeal to the

the timely seizure or an opportunity

prospective purchasers, property
which could not otherwise be legally
delivered, and to make it possible for
a transcontinental line to get into New
York terminus, it may be, according
to the minds Of magnates, more to be
desired than Baltimore. The theory,
al least, in the talk of the street, is
| worthy Of consideration.
It has been rRmored from time to

could not be made, inasmuch as in

easy to see why these individual sys-
