MONETARY COMMISSION MEETS
Listen to Criticisms Of Laws by High
Officials of Treasury.

Observation-Disclosures in methods of
bank examination and the inability Of
the comptroller of the currency to
deal with infractions of the banking
laws without resorting to such harsh
punishment as the closing of the Of
Tending national institutions, were
pointed out to the national monetary
commission on Wednesday by high Of
ficials Of the treasury department.
Any general revision of the ma
tional banking laws is not contem-
plated by the present hearings, all of
which are executive. Such changes as
will be recommended, in all prob
ability, will be confined to amend
ments which can be made without
friction between bankers and officials
charged with the enforcement of the
national banking laws.

Pepperell, Mass.-Fourteen thousand
dollars in cash was secured by bur
glars, who blew open the vault of the
First National bank here. The thor
oughness and skill with which the,
work was performed has convinced
the police that the burglars were pro-
fessionals. Three men were In the
party and, although they were seen
escaping in an automobile, all trace,
of them was soon lost.
A quantity OF bills and silver scat
tered about the vault gave evidence
Of the hurry with which the burglars
secured their booty. A large guam

AEROPLANES FLIGHT
JUNE BUG GOES LAO YARDS IN
60 SECONDS.

HAMMONSPORT. n. y, June 26.-Sev-
eral hundred spectators just before sun
set last night witnessed the most sue
cessful flight yet made on the testing
grounds of the Aerial Experiment Asso-
citation here. The successful performer
was G. H. Curtiss in his June Bug aero
drome No. 3. Under his guidance the
June Bug flew LILO yards, considerably
more than three-fifthS of a mile, in Just
sixty seconds. All that stopped the fight
was the limited area of the practice
ground, bounded by trees and a fence
which would have interfered with the
progress of the machine, travelling, as it
was at a height of from three to twenty
three feet above the ground.
The performance of the June Bug ard
her designer is considered the most re-
markable of it's kind on record 1t was
only the seventh flight OF the machine and
the eighth attempt of the aviator The
controls worked perfectly in every respect
the machine having to travel on the arc
of a circle in order to make the distance
it did in a field the size and shape of
the association s grounds.
The Aerial Experiment Association last
night telephOned the Aero Club of Amer
lea that il is move ready to try for the
Scientific American cup which is to be
given to the Machine which officially flies
straight line. This distance was sur
passed last night by forty-six yards.
Material factors in the success of this
fight OF the June Bug We're the working
of the marvelously efficient eight-cylinder

given the slightest difficulty. and the wo.i-

Deadlock to Continue.


1t looks like the deadlock is going to
continue for some time yet. Many be-
lieve the only solution is the naming of
an entirely new man, unless Horne can
secure at least two-thirds of his dele
gates to vote for Craig which is said to
be doubtful Ii one-thrd of Horne's dele
gates were to go to kitchin he would be
nominated Immediately. Therefore, the
Craig men are really afraid to encourage
serious detection in the Horne ranks.
If there is anything that will please
Craig most. next to getting the nomination
for himself, it will be the defeat of Kit
chin.
1t would take eighty of Craig's 327
votes. added to Horne's 149 to nominate
Horne. The Horne men have an idea
that Craig can and will deliver that num-
Der to Horne before he will run the risk
of prolonging the fight to the point where
kitchin would probably be named.
Prefer Horne to Kitchin.
1t is probable that a large percentage
of Craig men would prefer Horne to
kitchin. if compelled to choose between
the two only. and it is this hope that is
holding the Horne men together largely,
for the feeling between the two leading
candidates is largely shared by the fol-
lowers of Kitchin and Craig, and neither
will ever support the other to any consid-
cradle extent. At the same time, many of
Craig's delegates are alleged to think
Horne is not a big enough man to be gov
ernOr OF this great state, and would hesi-
tate about voting for him. especially If
one or more new men of first caliber like
Stedman. Mason and Doughton are
brought forward later.
The failure of the Rockingham county
delegates to secure consideration of a
Bryan resolution of instruction has not
diminished the ardor of the Bryanites at
all. The resolution will come up next
time as a part of the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions, and the BryaniteS
say today that il will certainly be adopt
ed. But there is still element of doubt
about it. The convention at l o'clock is
still balloting without result What will
be the result of the days work is not
known to any man at this hour.
