Elinlnnted Rallroad Bonds.

The scEate Committee on Finance
day voted unanimously to amend
the Aldrlch financial bill by eliminat-
ing railroad bonds as security for
national bank notes circulation. 1t WAS
also decided to amend the BILL SO as to
retain the provision OF the present law
prohibiting the retirement by national
banks of more than s9.o00,0o0 Of cir
culation in any one month.
The committee discussed the PROPOSE
ton Of increasing the taxation OIL
emergency circulation outstanding more
than six months The rate under the
bill as It now stands is six per cent.
NO action was taken on this feature. An
amendment also was agreed to affect
ing the amount OF circulation which may
be taken out on bonds of the various
kinds applicable for such purposes. The
bill provides that circulating notes may
be issued equal to any amount OF 80 per
cent. of the market value Of any bonds
deposited The amendment adopted to-
day adds the provision that the insur-
ance shall not be- in excess, however.
of the par value OF the bonds. This is
intended to meet the criticism that GER
tain securities might be inflated above
par value through the action of spec
ilators ana the committee believes the
amendment Will effectually eliminate
such danger.

there was only a publication by process

There has been no legislative adjust
ment of this anomalous situation, which
has been emphasized by repeated de-

Justice Bowling quotes the Haddock
decision of the United States Supreme
Court to show that foreign DEGREES

not entitled to obligatory enforcement
In this State, and on that he based
his decree of divorce in Ransom S

The briefs filed on appeal by Will

analysis of the divorce law and of the
Ransom action. Counsel for Mrs. RAN
som submitted that the courts of this
State should grant full validity to a
decree like the Virginia decree, both
as matter of comfy and under the
full faith and credit clause Of the
United States Constitution. They also
argued that the Haddock decision only
went SO far as to say that foreign de-
crees need not be enforced In a
Ransom one presents, the State may
and should recognize the validity OF
the decree made by a foreign STATE.
Mr.. Breckenridge relied on the broad
contention that under the laws Of this
State the Virginia decree is absolutely
invalid because OF the lack of per-
sonal service, and therefore should not
be countenanced from reasons Of sem
timent or otherwise by courts Of this
