What Shall we do with the Money?

There are several thousand dollars
in bank 70 the credit of the library
fund, part OF this money was appro-
priatel by the town, and another part
was contributed by individuals. while
still larger part was the receipts
from the bazaar, and other entertain
ments. There is not much prospect
for the library. and none whatever. as
originally intended. now the question IS
what is TO be done abo0t this fund? In
our Judgment it woald be wise to have
a mass meeting of the citizens OF Man,
ming to 90 over the situation and decise
a ways and means for using this fund.
The school needs more money. the
court house needs sewerage. If we are
not to have public library, and it now
looks as il we are not. then let US get
together and put this money into use.
We have given this matter much
thought. and have reached the coaciu-
sion, that even if a public library IS
wanted, there is not sufficient money
for it. when the purchase OF a lot 10
a desirable location is considered, and
then too, we doubt II such al lnstltn-
zion would be taken advantage OF
enough to Justify the investment. We
believe the money can be better spent,
and more people benefited by putting
q firssclaSS system of waterworks and
sewerage in the school house. Our idea
is 20 return to the town its approprla-
ton. TO the Levi heirs their contribu-
ton. and the rest OF the money spent
on the c0nveniencies in the school
building. \ mass meeting, however,
can better determine this matter.

oUTRAGES IN MANCHURlA.
Neither Russian Nor Jap Prospects
Rights of European Residents.

London.--A correspondent of the
Reuter- News agency, writing of con.
ditions in Hardin and Mukden, says:
During recent tour in Manchuria
! visited Hardin. A remarkable state
of affairs exists there. The Russian
town Is governed and dominated by
a private railway company, the Chi
nese Eastern Railway company, the
chairman of which styles himself the
civil governor The government of
the company is not regarded as salts
factory. Neither life nor property is
safe, and 1t is as much as mans life
is worth to venture out after dark"
"One of the chief things which
strikes the visitor to Mukden and
south Manchuria is that the Japanese
who are pouring into that country are
not by any means of the right class.
During the war tine Chinese and 9th
ers looked on the Japanese as
their saviors and welcomed them; but
later experiences have changed all
that. In the streets one sees many
Japanese drunk and disorderly, and
their behavior to Europeans is often
one of open insult"

HOUSE COMMITTEE
KILLS ALDR|CH BILL
Financial Measure Approved by the
Senate Laid on Table by Vote
Of Congressman.
The vreeIand Plan VIII Next be Con.
sldered, the Fate Of the Measure
Being ProblematicaI, But II
Has q Chance of Being
Approved.

Washington.-The house committee
on banking and currency on Friday
voted unanimously to table the Aid
rich financial bill. 1t also decided to
give a hearing to Representative
Vreeland of New York, who recently
introduced financial bill which Is
looked upon as substitute for the
Aldrich measure.
The discussion in committee was
very brief. The only point debated
was as to whether or not the commit
tee should make a formal report Civ.
ing it's reasons to the house for its
unfavorabe action and the conclusion
finally was reached that no reasons
should be given.
The tabling of the Aldrich bill will
result in currency legislation being
perfected by the conferees of the two
branches of congress if the house car
ries out the probable programme OF
now passing the Vreeland bill. In
that event the house measure would
come to the senate after all, the en-
acting clause would be struck out and
the provisions of the Aldrich bill sub
stituted The effect would be to put
both the Vreeland and Aldrich bills
into the conference, and from them
currency bill could be probably agreed
upon.
The Vreeland bill is not hostile Ia
character to the form of legislation
provided by the bill which was passed
by the senate, and therefore the &C
ton of the house committee on bank
ing and currency, in the event its
course is followed by favorable re-
port on the Vreeland bill as substi-
tute, does not indicate that there will
be no currency legislation at this ses-
sion of congress, as the house prob
ably will pass that measure.
Representative Vreeland in draft
ing mis- bill made provision for the use
of commercial paper and all other S.
curities held by national banks under
the national bank act, as an additional
class of security upon which emrr
gency circulation may be issued. He
eliminated certain amendments which
were tackled on the Aldrich bill while
1t was under consideration in the SEN
ate, including the provision by Sen.
ator La Toilette prohibiting the loan
ing of money by any bank to cor
poration the officers or directors of
which are officers or directors of the
corporation seeking the loan.
