TEMPE
PROPERTY ADVANCING
A Boom on in Goldmsn's Addition to
 Tempe.

If there is one portion of Tempe that has developed more rapidly thar another within the past year or so it is that part known as GOldman'S addition. It's proximity to the Nor nal makes property there very de- sirable and lots are changing handS almost constantly and each time at a substantial advance in price. WithiH the last six weeks no less than twenty transactions have been made there involving as many lots and within the same space of time half a dozen cot tages have either been constructed or are now being built.
 B. H. Scudder has been cited as an example of the man who some two years ago had faith in Tempe, and prOfited by it. He bought twenty-fOur lots there and the sale of a block df five a day or two ago closed out all his holdings and his net profit on the whole deal was d little better than 5000. Property has advanced there from $75 per lot to S125 and $15O at the present time and there is every indication that this price will be greater d year from now.
 majority of the recent transac- tions in the addition recently. have been made through R. A Windes, who has spared no effort to build up that section O. the town.

of the movement for improving the
waterways and preserving national
forest lands. He said large percent
age of the lumber mills were closed

DON'T AGREE WITH PRESIDENT,
Claim Made by Treasury Department
That Roosevelt Has Exceeded
His Authority.

Washington.-William s. Rossiter.
appointed as acting public printer in
place of Public Printer Stillings, went
TO the treasury department on Friday
to have his bond approved The de-
partment refused to consider the mat
ter, on the ground that the president
had exceeded his authority in appoint
ing Mr.. Rossiter; that under the law
the associate public printer, Captain
H. T. Brian, succeeds to the vacancy
Under this informal ruling Mr.. Ros
sitter later in the day stepped aside
and his place was taken by Captain
Brian, who will administer the gov
ernment printing Office as acting pub
lie printer for the time being. Mr.
Rossiter, however, does not relinquish
the work of inquiry laid out for him
by the president. His position in the
government printing office becomes
that of the presidents personal rep
resentative, and he is proceeding with
the investigation.

MINORITY CURRENCY BILL
NOW BEFORE The HOUSE
Democratic Leader introduces Meas,
ure Agreed Upon by Minority
Members Of Committee on
Banking.

Washington.-Wha will be known
as "the minority currency bill" was
introduced on Friday by Representa-
tive John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi, the Democratic leader Of tho
house, who drew the measure as a
result of harmonious conference of
Democratic members of the house
committee on banking.
1t repeals all laws permitting ma
tional banks to keep three-fifths of
their reserves in national banks of re-
serve cities and similar laws permit
ting such deposit of one-half OF the
reserve amounts.
1t provides that not less than one
half OF the reserves now required to
be kept in lawful money in central
reserve cities shall be hereafter held
in gold or gold certificates.
1t does away with the payment of
national bank examiners by the fee
system, and substitutes salaries not
less than s.. 900 nor in excess of $4,000
yearly, with actual expenses.
It provides that the total liabilities
of any national bank, exclusive of the
liabilities of it's members, shall not
and unimpaired capital stock, and
Dne-tenth of It's impaired surplus
funds; and that in no event shall the
liabilities exceed 80 per cent OF the
capital stock
No national bank shall loan in the
aggregate more than seven times the
amount of it's paid-up capital plus It's
unimpaired surplus.
Any national bank may keep so
per cent of its reserve in United
States bonds or bonds of states, or IN
the bonds of certain municipalities,
but not more than one-fourth OF the
total reserve may be kept In state or
municipal bonds and the bonds shall
be acceptable only of such municipar
tiles as have maintained their bonds
ct or above par for six years preced-
ing, and have been in corporate exist
ense ten years, and have never de-
faulted In their funded debt, and
whose net Indebtedness does not ex-
ceed 1S per cent Of their taxable
property.
The comptroller of the currency,
Immediately after the passage of the
bill, shall furnish copy OF the new
law to each bank in the country and
inquire If it will accept the provisions,
Consent shall be binding and the
liabilities attaching to consent may
be enforced by the comptroller. Agree,
ment to accept the provisions shall
entitle state banks and trust com
| panies to the benefits Of the new law,
The elastic currency feature of the
bill is contained In section which
provides that these interconvertible
bonds may be deposited in the near
est sub-treasury." and the depositins
bank shall receive in lieu thereof
United States emergency treasury
rotes subject to taxation, redeemsble
ut any time, and legal tender
| For the creation of fund of $46,'
900 900 for the payment Of depositors
of failed banks, operating under the
provisions of this law, there Is au,
thorized the imposition of tax OF
ons-sixteenth Of / per cent on the de
posits of banks so operating, and
whose consent to be SO taxed has
been obtained.
The final section Of the bill pro
vides that no bank officer shall make

GIVES UP THE FIGHT.
Former Premier Franco Elees From
Lisbon to Save His Life.

Lisbon.-The secret and sudden
flight of Franco, the former premier
of Portugal, from Lisbon across the
frontier into Spain, accompanied by
his wife and son, was caused by the
threats of death which had been made
against him. Since the murder of the
king, Franco has been in receipt of
many letters, all threatening ven
geapce. Already Franco as dictator
had been plotted against and had
gone about protected by armed guards,
who also watched his house lest those
who opposed his iron rule should do
him harm, and of late to these were
added the enmity of those who held
that Franco was responsible, indirect
ly, at least for the tragedy of Satur-
day last. Two of Francois ministers
also have disappeared.

SON OF PRIEST A MURDERER.
leader of Band Which Assassinateo
King Carlos Came From Good
Family.

Rio Janeiro.-The leader of the band
that murdered King Carlos and Crown
Prince Luiz, at Lisbon, is Manuel Res
Silva Buissa, and he was born in
the province of Braganza, Portugal
He was son of the Able of Vinhaes
and as a boy he went to the Lyceum
at Braganza. He had nine brothers
and sisters, and one of his sisters,
named Belmira, lived until a short
time ago in this city. Manuel was
not the first criminal In the family.
One of his aunts killed a servant in
her employ when she found that her
husband was making love to the wo.
man. She was arrested and sentenced
to a long term of Imprisonment in
Africa
During the last few years Buissa
was a Republican in politics, and he
had friendly relations with members
of his party. He became free
thinker and 1t was his custom to de-
fend his political ideas in open dis.
cussion in the streets and in the cafes
of Lisbon.
Buissas friend, who supplied the
foregoing information, does not think
that he accepted money for the COM
mission of his crime. Manuel Buissa
was vicious and wicked in many
ways, but he was above taking money
for murder. Buissa's family Is well
off, not TO say wealthy and still lives
at Vinhaes.
