Heffron, with very few votes, has
Jumped over Doyle's head. and Revelle

THE FINANCIER'S
 MARKET REVIEW
STATEMENT OF THE NEW YORK
 CLEARING HOUSE FOR THE
 WEEK SHOWS A CONTINUED FLOW OF MONEY TON NEW YORK.

New York, March 1.-The Financier will say:
 The statement of the New York clearing house banks for the week ending March indicated continued inflow of currency from the interior, although the amount of increase was somewhat smaller than had been estimated. Taking the state ment of averages, the cash gain amounted to s2,S92,5OO; loans increased $3,291, ,500, while deposits rose $S,O76,SOO, the latter item being out of proportion to the gain in cash and increase of loans. The ex- pansion of deposits necessitated an in crease in the reserve required, so that the surplus reserve rose very little, standing at $30,135975. The above figures are based on the averages of the week, but the re- port of the actual condition of the banks, as made on Saturday, showed material differences between average orders cover ing the week and the real condition at the close of the week. The actual condl. tions indicated a decrease of $6, 200 Tn loans, gain in cash amounting to about S4,OOO,OoO, and a decrease in deposits of g, 301 300 To put the matter briefly, the average cash reserve of the banks last week was 27,56 per cent, while actually at the close of the week their cash reserve was 27.74 per cent, or slightly better than the report of movements. The circula- tion of the banks decreased during the week s1 ,971, 300. This item is declining rap idly, which is not surprising in view of the heavy expansion that took place in circulation during the period of the late panic. The summary of state banks and trust companies in Greater New York, not reporting to the clearing house, showed at the close of business Saturday an In- crease of $2939 ,730; in loans an increase of less than $5O0,0O0 in cash, and an expan- sion of $6595 800 in total deposits. The de- posits of the combined financial institu- tions of New York, counting clearing house and non-clearing house members, now closely approximates $1, coo. The legal reserve of the state banks outside the clearing house is 23.5 per cent, and the reserve of the trust companies is 26.5 per cent. Government deposits in national banks fell off $S76,OOO during the week, this item on Saturday standing at $54, 734,- 1OO a decrease of about $24500,000 since December 2S last.

JAILED OFFICER
 SAYS NOT GUILTY He Is Accused of Passing
 Forged Checks CAUGHT AF TER LONG CHASE Prisoner Declares He Had Blank Quar- termaster Checks In His Pockets, But That He Never Forged
 or Cashed One.
CAUGHT AFTER LONG CHASE

Chicago, March 7.-(Special) )-Capt. D. F. Keller, U. S. A., resigned, arrested ar kamloops, B. C., charged with passing forged checks of the quartermaster's de- partment of the United States army amounting to $5o,O0O and with having blank quartermaster' checks in his pos session, denied his guilt at the county jail today.
 Captain Keller was arrested after q sensational chase by secret service men.
 The prisoner is a member of the On- wentsia and Union League clubs and was formerly in charge of athletics at the latter club. He is a West Point graduate. having been sent to the academy from Madison, Wis. Captain Keller was for merly stationed at Fort Sheridan with the Twenty-sixth United States infantry.
 T am not guilty of the charges against me- said he. Tt is true that blank cheeks of the quartermaster's department were found in my possession, but it is not true that l ever cashed one. Two checks were stolen from me at Reno, New, and cashed by persons who succeeded in escaping. believe they will be captured. They forged checks for S75OO.
 T was tried on the charge of passing these checks at Reno and acquitted. l am now accused of having blank checks, and that is all. I had those checks be- cause l was quartermaster in the Philip pines and Cabanatuan, Mushate, Philip pine Islands, and Malahi. l had those checks when l went to Cuba and they were still in my possession when l re- signed, after finding that 1 could not remain in the service under command of Colonel Pitcher.
 T also had to use these checks while quartermaster of the United States trans port Black, which sailed from Seattle. paid out millions for the government and nobody can say 1 was ever a cent out in my accounts. The checks l was charged with cashing were missed by me first at Hagen, Nev. l was drinking to some ex- tent and had formed the morphine habit while in the service. do not know what became of the checks"

At the request of the state committee man from this county, Chairman Mallory has written letter indicating that the county committee exceeded it's authority when it ordered a majority rule for mak- ing nominations for the county officers The committee will be called together and it's actions rescinded so far as the resolu- tion requiring a majority vote to nom- mate county candidates. There is noth- ing known along this line at this time, but it can be said the committee will meet, as it cannot afford to put at hazard the good feeling among the whole county in democratic circles just to gratify de- sire for a change. 1t is understod that to reqiure majority vote to nominate would go further to breed discontent among democrats than anything else that the committee could do.

Strenuous efforts are being made by Ad- jutant Gen. A. J. Scott and others in- terested in the welfare of the state troops, to urge Congress to retain in the army ap- propriation bill the $,O00,000 appropriation for maneuvers of the regulars and state troops. which the House of Representa- lives recently voted out.
 There is still reason to believe, however that the appropriation will be reinstated and pushed through, though it may re- quire hard work
 The adjutant general and others inter ested have written to all the members or the Georgia delegation, urging their ac- tivity in behalf of this appropriation, and a number of favorable replies have al- ready been received.
 It is now thought possible that the ap- propriation will be reinstated in the Sen ate and that the assent of the House will be secured.

The recent terrible disaster in Cleve- land, O., costing the lives of more than 15o school children, has started an agita- ton here for safer and better school buildings.
 Attention has been called to the fact that Atlanta now has several three-story school buildings containing from l2 to lb rooms, some schools having two of each grade. In some instances the larger school buildings are built entirely of wood. and would be quickly consumed should a fire make any headway.
 Alderman Frank A. Pittman, contrac- tor and builder, believes that with the price of building lots as low as it now IS. Atlanta can afford more schools, and should make them smaller. His idea is one-story building, with not more than eight rooms one for each grade and mum erous exits easy of access.

 There are seven or eight Georgians Tn the race for this office, and each Of them is going to get a good vote in his lnme- diate section. Of course each Will get Scattering vote over the state, but as no one of them is known pre-eminently above the others. and each has a good following of his own, 1t is practically certain that 1t will be impossible for any one or them to get majority of the votes in the hrst primary.
