The nrst run OF which we have any
account In the history Of banking Oc-
CURED In the year 1867. At that date
the bankers OF England were the gold
smiths. who had a short time before
begun to add banking to their ordinary
business and had become very nu-
merous and influential. In 1869 the
Dutch aeet sailed up the Thames,
blew up the fort at Sheerness. set fire
TO Chatham and burned some ships OF
the line. This created the greatest
CONSERVATION In London, especially
among those who had intrusted their
money to the bankers, for II was
known that the latter had advanced
large sums to the king for public pur-
poses, and IT was rumored that now
the king would not be able to pay the
money. To Quell the panic a royal
proclamation was issued to the effect
that payments by the exchequer to the
bankers would be made, as usual. In
1911 there was another run on the
London banks. when Charles ii. shut
up the exchequer and refused to pay
the bankers either principal or inter-
est OF the money which they had ad-
vanced. On this occasion many Of the
banks and their customers were ruined.

pest had become positive menace. the

were procured. but all were dead ex-

GOLD BEARING CARPET.
Old Pieer Covering In q Mint That
May Prove VaIuabIo.

May Prove Valuable
A requisition has come to the treas-
ury department at Washington from
the San Francisco mint asking that. a
new carpet be placed In the adjusting
room, as the one there now has been
worn out after ten years service. In
ordinary instances such a reQuisition
would excite no unusual interest on
the part OF the treasury officials, but
In this case great care has to be taken
N removing the old carpet, for 1t has
become more valuable with each days
service because it Is literally lined with
gold dust.
The old carpet will be burned, and
1t Is expected that between $4,000 and
5000 will be realized from the ashes.
In the adjusting rooms at San Fran
cisco nles are used to trim the surplus
gold from rough pieces. The gold is
first run or into blanks and then
stamped, so 1t frequently happens that
a piece Is a tri1e overweight or un-
even. The files are then brought into
play. and. although no particle Of gold
dust large enough to be readily de-
tected by the eye Is allowed to escape,
the greatest care cannot always avoid
some small filings falling to the carpet
In purchasing these carpets great
judgment Ia exercised. Those are
sought in which the weave is as close
as possible, so that the material will
hold the scattered bits OF gold. 1t is
not unusual for the authorities to get
5000 worth Of gold from an old car
et. Other thrifty devices are used In
order to capture escaped particles OF
gold. The HoOr sweeplngs are treas
ured with the greatest care. and they
furnish enough money TO pay the saIa-
ries Of several employees about the
building. Much gold goes up the chin
neys. and they are often scraped and
the resultant SCOT and dirt scanned for
gold. Employees who handle bars OF
gold are not permitted to dispose Of
the aprons. overalls or gloves with
which they are provided. for when
these articles are burned after they
have outlived their usefulness they
yield rich harvest.

GAS MAY BE 50 CENTS
TO ARGUE FOR REHE4RING
Counsel for Z. S. Commission VII
Support Notion on TuesdaY.

Notice of a motion for a rehearing the so
cent gas case before Judge Hough has been
given by George S. Coleman counsel for the
Public Service Commission, and Edward B.
Whitney, special counsel Argument the
tion has been set down for Tuesday.
Mr.. Coleman desires to argue a rehearing
for certain changes in the inclusion of franchises
and on the interest rate, which. If allowed.
would make the So-cent price constitutional
under the ruling of the court regarding confisca-
tion..
AS the decision stands an S4-cent price would
be constitutional, and If the decision is not
changed as desired counsel for the commission
will move to dismiss the suit unless tenn
porary measure OF relief, the gas company will
consent to reduce its rate to 81 cents. This
would in no way affect a final determination of
the by the United States Supreme Court
and would mean only that pending such final
decision consumers would pay additional
cents into the court instead of 20 cents. s
now.
According to a statement given out at the
Offices of the Public Service Commission last
night, the decision of Judge Hough that the so
cent gas rate is unconstitutional is based his
allowing the company per cent interest as the
rate of profit and at the same time allowing
certain large speculative items OF capitalization
not representing money invested. IF all these
items are disallowed.' says the statement, and
only the capital invested taken into considera-
tion the S0-cent price yields over per cent.
"At the S0-cent price there is also return of
over per cent upon the par value of the capt.
tai stock of the company representing its in
vestment in the gas business. The largest of
these items is S12.O00,000 for franchises. In his
opinion Judge Hough stated that the inclusion
of this item is contrary to his own view as a
matter of principle but he considers himself
bound to include it account of certain prece-
dents Other federal Judges have taken D per
cent instead of 6 as the rate of profit. If per
cent had been adopted by Judge Hough the 50
cent price would have been constitutional IL
the franchise item had been omitted the SO-cent
nrice would have yielded over per cent and
been constitutional"
