tional bank, Wednesday entered plea
of not guilty when arraigned before
Judge Chatfeld in the United States
court. Through his counsel Heinze
reserved the right to withdraw the
plea of not guilty and demur to the
indictment any time before January
20. The bail bond of $4,000, which
Mr.. Heinze furnished after his arrest
Tuesday, was allowed to stand.
After the plea of not guilty had been
entered Edward Lauterbach, counsel
for Mr.. Heinze, made a motion that
he be permitted to inspect the minutes
of the grand jury which returned the
indictments against his client. The
motion was withdrawn, however, when

Through the arrest of Heinze on a
charge of overcertifying checks to the
amount of 100000, it has developed
that a federal grand jury is still en-
gagged in searching investigation into
other transactions of a similar nature
in this city. While none of the fed

Washington, Jan. 9.-The subcom.

crease the elasticity of the currency,
reached a conclusion Wednesday and
will report favorably to the full COM
mittee bill drawn in the main by
Chairman Fowler of the committee
The bill will be introduced by Mr..
Fowler and referred to his committee,
where it will form the working basis
for the framing of a bill of possibly
the same tenor and scope. The bill
provides for the complete retirement
of all present outstanding national
bank bond-secured currency and au-
thorizes in lieu thereof currency
based upon general assets of
the banks, to be worked out in this
way:
The comptroller will designate
throughout the country certain re-

be a redemption city within at least
"a hours reach of each national bank.

In the presence of the entire house
Messrs. Williams of Mississippi and
De Almond of Missouri, whose phys
ical encounter on the floor of the house
just before the Christmas adjournment
attracted general attention, Wednes-
day engaged in an exchange of ameni-
ties which was generally accepted as
q public announcement Of their re-
spective Intentions not to permit their
personal differences to interfere with
the courteous discharge of their pub
lie duties. The incident occurred in
connection with an effort by Mr.. Dali
zell Of the committee on rules to get
the house to agree to rule giving
right of way to the bill authorizing the
codif1cation and amendment Of the
penal laws Of the United States and
limiting general debate to four hours.
Discussion on Plan.
There was some discussion of the
proposition before either Mr.. Williams
or Mr.. De Almond was heard. Several
Democratic members expressed the
opinion that the rule was a scheme to
side-track other legislation. Mr.. Dali
zell, however, refuted this.
Minority Leader Williams came to
the rescue and favored the rule, say
Ing that congress ought to get rid
of the report as 1t embodied the result
of the labor of the commission for ten
years. He said the matter was wholly
nonpartfsan in every way.
To the surprise of everyone, Mr..
Williams then yielded ten of his 20
minutes time to Mr.. De Almond of
Missouri, who politely bowed his &C.
acknowledgements. The two men con-
stitute the minority of the committee
on rules and are necessarily thrown
together in the committees work, and
other members of the house expressed
satisfaction over their evident inten.
ton to preserve the amenities in their
official relations.

THE WORLD DRYING UP.
Possibility That the Human Race Will

Ote or hirSt.
We are 10 die Of thirst. Compara-
lively few persons know the SUFFERING
involved in a thirst for which there is
no help 1T hand. The consuming thirst
more than the pain of any wound
makes the battlefield hell. Yet death
by thirst is the doom forecast for the
race by grim scientists. biologists
find that the fresh water supply Of the
globe is failing. They have data which
point 10 the gradual withdrawal Of the
streams and other bodies of water
from the surface. Both in Africa and
central Asia and, indeed. in all the
great levels the water beds are drying
M. great number OF lakes well
known in the historical age have en-
tirely disappeared. For example. Lake
Chiroua, IN Africa, has vanished with

NgamJ. discovered by Livingstone.
Lake rchad is more than half dried
up. For centuries bodies Of water in
central Asia have been evaporating
and the deserts extending Where
1000 years ago great cities stood In
east Turkestan there are found only
vast and depressing stretches of sand.
The river Tarim. once principal Ash
attic route, is almost gone, and Lob

sSke Geneva, is now but shallow
marsh. The same sad conditions are
noted in European Russia. Novgorod.
the most pushing city in the cars dis
tracted realm, was surrounded by wa

be sure that the fate which the geolo-
