TURNING BACK FUNDS
TO THE. GOVERNMENT
Two New York Banks Decline to
Make Any Exception in Fa-
yor of Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The
treasury department has received
from the Chemical National bank of
New York, which is a temporary gov
eminent depository, its entire amount
of public deposits. amounting to ST.
22S.00O. with the explanation that
the bank does not pay interest to de-
positors. and as it would be re-
uuired to pay interest at the rate of
l per cent per annum under the
terms of the new currency act and
regulations OF the secretary of the
treasury, the officers of the bank de-
cided not to make any exception in
favor of the government.
The American Exchange National
bank of New York and a regular de-
pository also surrendered an excess
of $230,000 over the amount the
government required the bank to-
keep on hand to meet disbursements
The assumption that the action by
these banks in surrendering their de-
posts is strong indication that they
will not take advantage of the new
act authorizing the formation OF ma
tiopal currency associations through
out the country is declared to be in
all probability erroneous. While the
treasury officials have no definite
knowledge of what any individual
bank will do in this matter. the fact
that these banks prefer not to pay
interest on deposits can have no bear
ing on the question of wisdom OF
their joining currency association
Letters from bankers in all sec
tions of the country are being receiv-
ed at the treasury department asking
for the necessary blank forms and de-
tails as to the formation of currency
associations and the very general in
terest thus displayed is regarded as
conclusive that national banks
throughout the states will take ad-
vantage of the authority conferred by
the act.

MARKET LACKED POWER.
Narrow Range of Prices in Wall
Street With Downward
Tendency.

NEW YORK. June 1s.-The ex-
tremely narrow dimensions of the
stock market was still its most strik-
ing feature today Under the dull
ness and apathy of the dealings the
desultory price movements are not
very significant. The upward move
rnent of yesterday evidently lacked
motive power for any long continu-
ance, and the reaction came by mid
day today.
The principal active factor in de-
Gliding the turn was the decision of
the Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago &
St Louis and of the Lake Erie &
Western to pass dividends on the
common stock of the first. company
and on the preferred stock of the sec
ond While these railroads are not
in the birst rank of Importance, the
fact OF the Vanderbilt control of
them lends some special sentimental
influence to the, financial policy. pur-
sned by their directors.
Increased attention was paid to-
day to reports of deterioration of the
winter wheat crop from too much
moisture and the strength of that
grains price reinforced the influence
of the reports. Engagements of gold
for export tomorrow proved unex-
pectedly large, reaching $3,250,0OO.
No fears are entertained of the eff
feet on our money market of this out
go, interest rates continuing to
recede There were considerable re-
coveries from the lowest prices be-
fore the market closed.

BANK ROBBERS
NOT CAPTURED
At CHIHUAHUA
Two Persons Are Known To
Have Been Implicated In the
Crime-Bank of Minero Of
ferS $4,000 Reward.

| CHIHUAHUA, Mex. March s.--Tht
| Banco Minero robbery is still the sen
| sation with nothing definite as to tbs
perpetrators although some or II
persons have been arrested on, sus
picion and detective Billy Smith Of E
Paso Is here working on the case
The things that are certain are taat
at least two persons were engaged in
the robbery and that some one OF
them at least was thoroughly &C
quainted with the two vaults and theii
interiors. The bank offered $4,000
Mexican money For the arrest and
conviction Of the perpetrators.
The lock to the first vault where
nothing but documents were kept wa;
easily put out of commission, but g
peculiar thing about it is this loch
has the appearance of being tempered
with from the inside, thus giving rise
to the theory that some one had been
shut up In the vault; nor is this idea
entirely dispelled yet.
To get into the money vault was the
simple matter of taking cut stone
from the wall until a hole was big
enough for a man to crawl in. There
were 295, 900 pesos in bank bills taken
in denominations of $1,000, 800, $50
and $40, but of this $4,000 was in
cancelled bills and will do the robbers
no good.
The bank had Mexican Waterman
on the outside who had key to enter
any time. While he is under arrest
he claims he knows nothing about IL
and apparently no one did until Mon
day morning when the bank was
opened for business.
1t is settled that the robbery took
place Sunday night and not Saturday
night as had been supposed by many.
Judging by circumstances 1t was the
upsetting Of a bottle of some vile dis
infectant in one of the vaults that
drove the robbers from their work. A
strange thing is that they did not
take a bill under $40, the easiest one
to pass. The bank has issued notices
calling in all $1,000 bills. 1t appears
that none of the bills stolen were reg
istered so as to be traced. There was
81 ESQ, 900 in gold pieces IN the vault,
but it was undisturbed.
Evidently the robbers had some
sort of keys to the bank doors for the
doors were locked on Monday morn
ing and there were no indications
of any OF the windows having been
tempered with.
The authorities are very vigilant.
Every saloon in the city is being
watched as is every train leaving the
city.
Among the nine arrests on suspi-
cion some are bank employees or eI,

new LAND OFFICE
FOR NEW MEXICO
Governor Curry Gets Notice OF
Establishment of Fifth
Land Office.

Governor Curry and party was in
| Albuquerque one day last week for
several hours on their way to Las
Cruces
Concerning the visit Of the Coy
ernor to the Date City the Journal
says: Governor Curry was in |.
good humor last night and with ex-
cellent cause, for during the day he
received adYices showing the results
accomplished by hin during his ne
cent stay In Washington.
The governor was advised yester-
day that Tucumcari land office bill
is quite likely to pass the senate az
this session. This makes five land
Offices for New Mexico. The fifth Of
flee had been greatly needed. The
Clayton land office has been crowded
past endurance, having had to handle
more than $4,000 entries in single
year. The new land office win be a
tremendous convenience for the home
seeker going into the new country
along the Rock Island and the Santa
Fe cut off The district is chiefly
made up of the southern and eastern
portion of the Clayton land district.

Lincoln Reserve Cut Down
Another result of the governors
work was in the form of telegram
from the chief forester, Mr.. Pinchot,
advising that the president had signed
proclamation restoring 100000 acres
of the Lincoln forest reserve to entry
There had been a great deal of COM
plant and suffering among the peo-
pie Of Lincoln county because of the
extension of this reserve and the
governor made the reduction desired
by the people one OF the chief efforts
of his stay in Washington.
Lieu Land Bill viii Pass.
yet another cause for congratula-
ton to the governor and the people
of New Mexico was the news received
yesterday that the lieu land bill for
which Governor Curry has been at
work ever since he came into office,
has not only passed the house but
that it is on the senate calendar with
a favorable report attached, which
means practical assurance of its pas
sage.
This lieu land bill is one OF the
most important measures the terri
tory has had up IN washington since
the congress gave the territory its
lands under the Ferguson act, and
its passage means large amount of
money in the pockets OF the people.
The Tucumcari land Office, show
ing as it does the tremendous deVel-
opment OF New Mexico, the lieu land
bill and the Lincoln forest reserve
reduction form a triplet of good things
for New Mexico that seem sufficient
for single day. Governor Curry, at
any rate, was thoroughly satisfied
with them.
1.-The land office at Tueumcari
was badly needed, said the governor
last night, and serves to show how
rapidly the territory has been grow
ing. In the face of the policy of the
department to reduce the number OF
land offices, the establishment OF this
one on the recommendation OF the
land office and the secretary OF the
interior, is significant.
THE reduction of the Lincoln for

were taken up recently in Washing
