SYSTEMS
TRIP OF SUBCOMMITTEE OF MON
ETARY COMMISSION EXPECTED
TO RESULT IN RADICAL
CHANGES IN AMERICA.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4-Sailing on the
Prinzessin Cecile today was a sub
committee OF the National Monetary
Commission. headed by Senator Mel
son w. Aldrich. OF Rhode Island. Mr..
Aldrich said he and the other mem
oers were going abroad TO study none
tary systems and that as a result OF
the visit IL was not impossible the
system In vogue In America would
undergo radical changes. Others OF
the committee are Senator John w.
Daniel. OF Virginia: Senator Hale. of
Massachusetts; Rep. Overstreet, Of In
diana; Rep, Padgett. or Tennessee,
and Rep Edward Vreeland. OF New
York.
Senator Aldrich made this statement
just before the ship set sail:
ITO obtain more complete and ac'
curate information than Is now avail
able with reference TO q monetary and
banking system OF the leading CONNER
cial nations is the principal purpose
Of the subcommittee OF the National
Monetary Commission who are leav'
ing today for London. The sub-com-
mittee also intend to make a thorough
examination into the methods in use
for the collection and distribution OF
the public revenues In each OF the
leading countries OF Europe. The secre'
tary Of the treasury has detailed b. c.
Manson, chief OF the division OF &C
counts and of Issue and Redemption
of the Treasures Office to assist the
committee In this work.
The active work OF the committee
this summer will be carried on by the
subcommittee who are going abroad
and by another subcommittee OF
which Rep. Weeks Is the acting chair
man, who are now engaged In consid'
ering amendments to the administra-
tive features Of the national banking
laws. This work Is but preliminary
to the report which the commission
are required to make to congress OF
a complete monetary and banking
system for the country. II was no.
expected that the legislative provision
of the act of May 80, 1908, would be
final or permanent.
They were adopted with a single
purpose which has been accomplished
OF providing against a recurrence OF

those for which the country suffered

bRA|NLESs CHILD
DIES M|SERAbLY
FlAT.HEADED FREAK ONLY ONE
OF ITS KIND IN ANNALS
OF SCIENCE.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-As a refu.
being can live without brain, the
physicians of Bellevue hospital cite
the case Of Marie Giacomo. who died
in the institution last night at the age
OF 40 hours. An autopsy revealed she
had come into the world brainless.
The child, when Z hours old, was
taken TO the hospital by her father.
Leonardo Giacomo. He said there was
something wrong with It's head. When
the child was unwrapped from volum-
inous clothes 1t was a startling sight.
It's head was almost fiat on top and its
eyes stood out from their sockets. IT
was. however. breathing normally and
cried as en- ordinary infant does. I'm
like most infants less than day old
1t took nourishment greedily.
II was first thought the shape OF
the child's head was a malformation
and that possibly the soft bones OK
the skull would respond TO slow
moldiny process that would restore the
head to a normal shape. II was not
dreamed the infant was wholly with
out brain matter Last night, how
ever, ii died while being fed. There
was nothing to indicate approaching
death and no struggle. The infant
simply ceased to breathe. An autopsy
revealed that beyond rudimentary
cerebrum, scarcely more than an In
dication. the infant had absolutely no
brain. The doctors declare there Is
not another case OF the kind known
