ooRrEYoU STILL SECRETARY
WIN Not Take Presidency Of Knick.
erbOcker Trust Co.

eFbocker Trust Co.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-It became
Known yesterday that the interest
identified with the reorganization OF
the Knickerbocker Trust company
had considered the name of Secretary
Cortelyou, among others, to take the
presidency OF that institution, and
that an intimation more or less posi-
tive in character had been conveyed
to the secretary within the past few
days Of the consideration OF his
name. One of the leading represent
tatives of the reorganization was an
thority for the statement that The in
timation had, assumed a quite definite
character, taking the form Of ten
der of the presidency of the company.
1t was stated by this authority that
no response had been received, but
that 1t was expected Mr.. COrtelyou
would arrive at decision at an ear
~ date. This statement was before
Secretary Cortelyou had given out
an authoritive announcement of his
intention not to resign from the cab
met. In view OF the latter announce
ment, it was assumed that any tender
or intimation of his coming to New
York as president of this company
had been definitely rejected.
So seemingly authoritative were
the reports that circulated in the
street that Mr.. Cortelyou would re-
sign to enter the Knickerbocker
Trust company. that they persisted
even after his denial was sent from
Washington. A close friend OF the
secretary, who is in a position to
known his intention, said:
Mr.. CortelyOu may or may not
have been offered a position with a
New York financial concern. OF
that l am not prepared to speak, but
can say most emphaticaIly that he
is not going to accept any offer Of
any kind. He is going to stay right
where he is as secretary of the treas
ury until the end of Mr.. Roosevelt
administration; and am confident
that he has not entertained any prop
osition involving his resignation from
the cabinet"

The case of March vs.. Thompson

decision is in favor OF Thompson.
The case of James l.. Cardwell in

HEPBURN ON FINANCES

Senator w. B. Hepburn has re-
Gently been distributing among his
friends and prominent citizens of
northern Idaho. a circular letter
from himself, dealing with the
present currency question, and en-
closes with this letter a bill, intro
duced recently by himself in the U.
S. Senate, which he claims will fully
solve the problem in all of its phases.
One of these circular letters was pub
lished the other day by the Joker.
The senator's bill has been more or
less the subject of discussion by
prominent citizens of the town.
among them Boyd Hamilton, cashier
of the Occur dAlene Bank and Trust
Company.
In commenting upon the provisions
of this bill today Mr.. Hamilton. said:
Il consider Senator Heyburn's bill
requiring National banks to carry in
the vault 20 per cent of their de-
posits in cash to be physical impos-
sibility. l consider and pronounce 1t
as such because to begin with there
are over thirteen billions of deposits
in the United States, and only little
over three billion dollars of money
or a little less than "a per cent OF
the deposits of this country in actual
money. Now If we should tie up in
reserves 20 per cent of this money il
Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1908-01-16

leaves less than FIVE hundred million.
Take two hundred million from this
amount. being the amount that the
U. s. treasury usually carries in
Washington, and we have left only
about three hundred million for cir
culatiOn. This is based upon the hy-
pOthesis that all the banks carry the
exact 20 per cent reserve, but as a
matter Of fact IL the banks are always
to remain even with and above this
20 per cent. 1t will be necessary for
them to carry about per cent more
than required by law. so as not TO
fall below the required amount. This
would require another two hundred
and sixty millions, leaving for cir
culation only about forty millions for
the people, or about fifty cents per
person, so that II a person should
have seventy Ave cents in his pocket
he would have more than his por-
ton.
The senator's idea is. believe, to
do away with reserve cities and 10
prevent the accumulation OF money
in the large cities, to be loaned by
banks for the purpose OF gambling
in stocks and margins. This idea is a
commendable one-is all right. but
his method adopted for a cure Of
this evil is an impossible one. becaus,
there is not enough money in th'
country to carry it out

How Flynn Went Down
In Defeat To Negro

Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman. or,
as he is known in spaghetti circles,
Antonio Chiariglio, stuck his head In
the lions mouth last night and It was
bitten of. Billy Jordan announced
Langford as the Boston Bone Crush
err" Five minutes later, poor Flynn.
in a semi-dazed condition. realized
that Jordan was something Of a
prophet.
Now is the time for Ketchel and,
yes, even Tommy Burns, to draw the
color line tight and to put up re-en-
forced concrete fences around 1t. The
iily-white champions had better keep
themselves lily white for some time
to come. There is a dark man loom
ing up in their horoscopes and they
had better duck him. ..
Flynn had Just as much chance as
a man walking up to the guillotine.
He seemed to realize It, too, for he
rushed in like one who wanted to get
the coup de grace in n hurry and
have the agony over with. e got
It quickly. A hook to the Jaw with
right, another with the left, and the
white man fell to the mat with q

The final struggle in the soccer
league will take place tomorrow. The
first game will be between the Puma
hous and the Y. M. c. A.. while the
second will be between the Diamond
Heads and Males.
The Males are now at the top OF
the list as far as percentage goes,
and II they win today's game they
win the championship with 1t. On
the other. hand. should the Males
go down in defeat before the Dia-
mond Heads. and the Young Mems
Christian Association prove .victori-
GUS over the Punahous, the Males
and Y. M. C. A. will be tied for first
place. and another game will have to
be played to decide the champion
ship.
Male and Punahou victories
would mean that the latter aggrega-
tion slipped into second place. fore
ing the Young Men down to third.
There are so many things that can
happen that the fans are all on the
anxious seat. The wise ones are con-
gregating on street corners and dis
cussing the possibilities OF the contest
and heated arguments are the result.
The wonderful form which the Pu-
nahous have shown In the last few
games has taken them from the igno-
minious position OF tail-enders and
tied them with the Diamond Heads
for third place. II is generally ad-
mitted that there is more than a pos

for the Y. M. c. A. tomorrow after
