Opposes State Bank Guaranty Plank

Ex-Governor w. J. Bailey of Atchi-

publican state platform, and thinks

sent planks to the party council, and
ask for the adoption of those planks.
Indications are that one of the chief
conflicts between the Stubs crowd
and the machine crowd will come over
the adoption of the plank proposed by
Senator Fred Quincy for the guaranty
OF bank deposits.
Mr.. Stubs attitude on this plank
is not known, except that he has told
his friends that the Democrats will
undoubtedly have a guaranty deposit
plank, and that the Republicans must
meet that issue. 1t is understood that
personally Mr.. Stubs is not very
much in favor of the guaranty deposit
proposition, though he voted for it at
the last session of the legislature. 1t
is likely that the Stubs faction will
line up pretty solidly for the guaranty
deposit plank, and in a convention
constituted as this party council will
be constituted, 1t is likely that the
plank will be adopted, regardless Of
| what the Republican party in the
nation or Mr.. Taft himself thinks
about it.

ment is probably in favor of the
guaranty plan. and the Republicans
are afraid to pass by the subject in
their platform. But this is what Mr..
Taft says about 1t in his speech of ac-
ceptance:
THE proposition is to tax the
honest and prudent banker to make
up for the dishonesty and imprudence
of others. No one can foresee the
burden, which, under this system.
would be imposed upon the sound and
conservative bankers of the country
by this obligation to make good the
losses caused by the reckless, specu-
lative and dishonest men who would
be enabled to secure deposits under
such system on the faith Of the pro-
posed insurance In short,
the proposal is wholly impracticable
unless it is to be accompanied by a
complete revolution in our banking
system, with a supervision so close
as practically to create a government
bank. 1t would bring down
the whole banking system to ruin, and
this proposal is itself an excellent
illustration of the fitness for national
control Of a party which will submit
itself to q scheme of this nature
without the slightest sense of respon-
sibility"

STANLEY Is BOUND OVER.
Held on Charge of Culpable Negli-
gence for Shooting at Negroes.

G. v. Stamey, the Tenth avenue
liveryman, who, one week ago last
Sunday, August 2, fired a few random
shots at pair of negroes, was bound
over from city court today, on
charge of "culpable negligence" This
is a case where man gets the worst
of it, on account of his poor marks
manship. Stamey's offense consisted
of firing several shots at fleeing ne
gro and missing his mark. George P.
Stitt "a resident of that district, made
the complaint Stamey's bullets dis
turbed his peace, so he stated in court
1t seems natural that every person
within hearing distance of a shooting
ARRAY feels the bullets zip by his ear.
Stamey did not make a good de-
Tense. He seemed paralyzed at the
idea of being stuck" for such a
trivial offense, and did very little to
defend himself.

Mr.. Totten resigned his commission
In the u. s. army, and his position as
professor OF Military Tactics at Yale
university, to have the time to devote
to the writing, publishing and dlssem-

trying to solve, according to his light
and his understanding, the problem Of
the ages, and making prophecies,
founding each one on Biblical facts
and statements.
He was a deep, earnest and tireless
student Of Sacred Writ, delving into It
as a miner into the earth, and unfold
ing treasures each time He never
made g. statement, that he could not
prove, according to his light and
knowledge, from the Bible direct. All
statements had for their foundations a
