ALDRlCH BILL is SCORED.
Bankers Call 1t Step Backward to
Days of Wildcat Currency.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-The resolutions
committee of the currency commits
sion of the American Bankers asso-
citation has issued a full report of the
meeting of the commission at which
the various asset currency plans now
before congress were discussed and
rejected.
The report summarizes the commits
sion's objections to the Aldrich bill
and the present Fowler bill and then
presents a bin in thirteen sections,
which the commission, with the back
ing of the association, will recommend
to congress.
The Aldrich bill is declared to be
"impracticable, unwise and financially
sMsound." The Fowler bill, according
to the report, introduces schemes so
farreaching in their scope and touch
ing so many collateral interests not
germane to the real solution of our
currency difficulties that we believe
its passage would unsettle rather than
improve financial conditions"
The proposed Aldrich law is called
"step backwards to the conditions
which gave rise to the wildcat cur
rency before the Civil war"

ing handed down by Justice Mestrezat
The 2-cent fare law was enacted by
the last legislature, the bill passing
both houses by practically unani-
nous vote. The railroads fought the
bill vigorously and after it became a
law the Pennsylvania railroad insti-
tuted suit in the common pleas court
of Philadelphia restraining the county
of Philadelphia from enforcing the
law. The railroad contended that the
law was unconstitutional in that it
was unreasonable and confiscatory
and the court In a decision sustained
the company's contention. The county
of Philadelphia then took the case TO
the state supreme court. Attorney
General Todd, representing the state
of Pennsylvania, participated in the
proceedings and made the principal
argument before the lower and higher
courts against the railroads conten-
ticn.
Other railroads brought similar ac-
tions In other counties of the state,

MAY STOP AT BUENOS AYRES
Torpedo Boat FIotIIa Will Lay Over
for a Day or Two.

Washington, Jan. 21--Admiral Ev.
ans, in dispatch to the navy depart
ment from Rio de Janeiro, suggests
that the torpedo boat destroyer flo
tilla visit Buenos Ayres. 1t was feared
that a visit to the Argentine capital
would not be possible because the de-
stroyers had fallen several days be-
hind in their itinerary and Admiral
Evans had gone so far as to request
the privilege of having the destroyers
accompany his big ships direct to
Sandy point from Rio de Janeiro. At
Buenos Ayres they will lay over for
perhaps not more than a day, replen-
ish their coal supplies and then pro
ceed from there to sea to join the bat
tleships at Sandy point. To stop at
Buenos Ayres will put the men in
good shape for the long run to Sandy
point.

EXAMINER TAKES CHARGE
Two ST. Paul Banks Fail to Open
Their Doors.

st. Paul, Jan. 21.-The doors of the
State bank of ST. Paul and the Citi-

for business. The announcement was
posted that the two institutions were
In the hands of the bank examiner.
These are the two st. Paul banks
with which A. z. Drew, owner of the
Hamline and Midway private banks,
which closed their doors last Friday,
was connected and it was largely
through the failure of the Drew pri
vate banks that public confidence in
the other banks was put to test.
While no figures as to assets and
liabilities of the State bank of st,
Paul and the Citizens Savings bank
are available it is stated positively in
the Office of the public examiner that
there is no question as to the solvency
of the Citizens Savings bank and
that the affairs of the State bank of
st. Paul will be Strengthened out
within a reasonable time.
The total deposits of the two banks
is about s500,000.

trict Attorney Jerome That Public

Crucial Point in Narrative.

New York, Jan. Glover the objec-
tion of District Attorney Jerome, who
declared the recital three years be-
fore the tragedy could have had no
effect upon the defendants mental
condition at the time he killed Stan
ford White, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
took the witness stand at the trial of
Harry K Thaw, her husband, and told
again the story of her alleged ex-
periences as a girl of sixteen in New
York, of her meeting with Stanford
White, of the house of the velvet
swing and the mirrored room; all, she
declared, exactly as she told it to
Thaw in Paris in June, 1908, when he
had asked her to become his wife
The story was told to a filled court
room, Justice Bowling overruling the
motion Of District Attorney Jerome to
close the doors to all persons not Off
cially connected with the case. Mr..
Littleton, for the defense, refused to
join in the motion, saying he pre-
ferred to leave the matter entirely to
the discretion Of the court.
Young Mrs. Thaw's voice broke at
one time during her recital and the
defendant also wept; but the electric
effect of the testimony as given last
year was missing. This was largely
due to the course of the district attor-
ney, who interposed an almost con-
tinuous string of objections and was
nearly always on his feet, standing
just between the witness and the de-
fendant.
The attitude of the prosecutor
awoke a tone of defiance in the wit
ness voice and this did not aid the

GET BACK GOOD CHANGE.
Much Counterfeit Money in Church
Contribution Boxes.

New York, Jan. 21.-Orders have
been issued in a number of Roman
Catholic churches in Greater New
York directing the ushers who take up
collections to discontinue giving
change to those who wish to con-
tribute. 1t has been the habit to give
to those who asked for it on the
ground that they did not have coins

contribution box. Ii has been discov-
cred that large number Of counter

The passers of the money would drop

receive 25 cents change. Many
churches have been thus victimized,
one church having found thirty-two of
the counterfeit coins in one Sundays

story; but the jury and courtroom
listened intently.
There was no variance in the recital
from last years narrative, but it was
shorter, at the instance both of the
court and of the district attorney. Mr..
Littleton resented Mr.. Jerome's man
ner several times and once protested
against the prosecutor attempting to
lecture the witness.
Just before the luncheon recess Mrs.
Thaw reached the story of Thaw's at

bottle of laudanUm at Monte Carlo In
1904. Earlier In that year he had
threatened to do the same thing in
New York and had wanted her to join
him. She humored him and diverted
his attention. When he swallowed the
poison at Monte Carlo he was alone

and saved his life.
Shortly after the opening of the
afternoon session the direct examina-
tion of Mrs. Thaw was completed and
the witness turned over to District
Attorney Jerome for cross-examina-
ton. In the loudest voice at his COM
mand the prosecutor, without mincing
words, plunged Immediately into the
most intimate details of the testi-
mony His manner brought fire in the
replies Of the witness, who raised her
voice involuntarily.
Mr.. Jerome probed into the young
woman's ideas as to virtue and moral
ity at great length. After he had con-
cluded this line Of examination he
started in to interrogate the witness
as to her relations with White other
than already testified to, when Mr.
Littleton objected, saying he had been
allowed to ask the witness only as to
the story she told Thaw. Justice Dow
ling sustained the objection.

ger, secretary of state, from enforcing
the law was granted by the court.
Judge Mcpherson, in his decision,
goes into the law of the case at great
length and quotes freely from previ.
Gus decisions to sustain his position.
The decision, in part, follows:
This court is mindful of the criti.
cism by many laymen, as well as by
many lawyers. to the effect that Unit.
ed States courts have no right, nor
even the power, to decree the invalid
ity of state statutes. The argument,
or rather the talk, is that the people
know what they need and that their
representatives In the legislature as
sembled alone should determine what
statutes we must have. And when so
determined and evidenced by legisla-
tive enactment that the courts should
not interfere by decree and thereby
thwart the legislative will. In other
words, that 1t is well to limit the pow
ers of executives and courts, that a
writer constitution restraining legis-
latfve bodies is all wrong and that

state rights is their shibboleth," he
added. THE most attractive argu-
ment to some lawyers of recent days
is that the state courts alone in the
first instance should pass upon the
question as to the validity OF state
statutes, with the right of the defend
ed party to carry the case for final de-
cree to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. Such arguments are plausi-
BILE, are convincing to many good peo-
pie, but are SO dangerous as to amount
to a heresy. 1t is the extreme of
state rights in new FORM"

Senator TiIIman Gets After Secretary
of the Treasury.

Washington, Jan. 21.-An animated
debate occurred in the senate in which
Mr.. Tillman made many comments
upon what he termed the failure of
the secretary of the treasury to obey
the resolution of the senate calling for
information concerning the recent
issue of Panama canal bonds. Mr..
Aldrich, upon entering the chamber,
explained that the delay in the secre-
tary's response to the resolution had
resulted from the necessity of max
ing full statement of all the reasons
that had influenced the secretary and
that that had taken more time than
had been anticipated. He assured the
senator that the information would
be forthcoming and spoke in high
terms of the secretary of the treasury.
